Minutes of Tigard Economic Development Committee
Meeting of August 26, 1986
Members Present: Jim Corliss, David Clements, Kathy Budny, Amo DeBernardis,
John Savory
Others Present: Jeanne Caswell, Bill Monahan, Geraldine Ball
The minutes of the July 15, 1986 and August 12, 1986 meetings were accepted as
written.
The Committee discussed the August 18 workshop with the City Council. Among
the perceptions expressed by the members were:
- The Committee gained a clearer understanding of what the City Council
expects and hopes to see.
- The Council expects the Committee to do a lot more than the Committee is
doing.
- The Committee needs to determine what it would to in one year if it had a
staff. Accomplishment expected in the areas of physical change, new
businesses, and improvements need to be determined.
- The Committee needs to define what it wants Tigard to be and create a
physical drawing.
John and Susan will approach Portland State and the University of Oregon to
investigate the feasibility of creating a contest to design the downtown. A
prize could be awarded. Kathy and Susan volunteered to work up an approach,
timeline, and choose a method of judging the competition. Bill outlined the
`City staff committment available to the Committee. Increased staffing of the
Community Development Department will be proposed in September, which would
free up a planner to devote 50% of his time to economic development. The
planning staff will prepare an ara plan for the downtown.
A subcommittee of Amo, Jhn, Jim, and Jeanne will meet on September 2 to
develop proposed revisions to the resolutions which created the Committee.
The full committee then will meet with Councillor Valerie Johnson to discuss
the changes before meeting with the full Council.
Bill updated the Committee on the I-5 Symposium set for October 8. Tigard is
working on its presentation.
A proposal to eliminate one parking stall in front of the Post Office on Main
Street was discussed. The Committee unanimously agreed with the City staff to
recommend that a parking space be eliminated to improve visibility and improve
safety.
The Committee discussed the status of several potential developments. John
reported that a downtown restoration project is a possibility.
Citizen Interest Applications were distributed to all members.
The meeting ended at 9:00 A.M. The next meeting will be held on September 16,
