The Committee reviewed the minutes of the January 21 , 1986 meeting and

Jeanne Caswell of the Tigard Chamber of Commerce distributed a concept paper
describing the non-profit organization proposal which will be presented at the
February 20, 1986 meeting.
The plan incorporates existing Chamber Committees. Two plans were presented
which read:

procedures for the purposes of promotion of downtown Tigard. To be

*MOO
The options are in lieu of joining the Oregon Main Street Program. Plan ].
membership is $125 for a business or property owner, or $75 for supporting
members, Plan 2. has a different membership fee based on whether or not the
business or property owner is a chamber member. Regardless, the council needs
about $24,000 for personnel, plus materials to equal at least $30,000. Of the
319 businesses, Jeanne feels 1/3 participation is realistic. The City
contribution of up to $10,000 will. not come from the general. fund.
John reported that at the last downtown meeting, held on February 6, 1986, the
participants were concerned about involvement: with the Chamber and the City .
A cooperative effort is the goal given the funds and commitments needed. Don
agreed there was some sentiment generated from past grudges, but, he felt they
could be overcome. At Thursday ' s meeting, the group will decide whether or
not to affiliate with the Chamber or form a separate group. Don feels that if
the group aligns with the Chamber, only a chairman is needed. If a separate
group is formed, the delays resultant from formation will push back the
committee at least a month.. Jeanne suggested that the City should have a
designated member on the Downtown Council . John and Don are concerned that
the Council needs to work closely with the City and present a uniform front to
the committee.
Jeanne will present the two options at the Thursday meeting, then the group
will decide which direction to go, John stated that most of the people who
have attended the meetings want to see some action. Don clistributed a
February 14, 1986 letter prepared by the City which invites businesses and
property owners to the February 20 meeting. It encourages participation and
ideas about what the group can do.
Don described the earlier efforts of the downtown merchants and its
accomplishments.
Jeanne noted that five lending institutions are within the designated downtown
area. Juanita described efforts in Portland which are associated with a tax
incentive program. A low indirect loan program could be possible to assist
property owners in the area to finance improvements .
Tony suggested that the Thursday discussion center on the purposes of the
Council with less attention directed towards the fee structure. He reported
on the efforts of the Clackamas group. Jim felt that the fee structure
proposed gives too much emphasis to existing Chamber membership as those who
would benefit from the Council. are already Chamber members and would probably
be willing to contribute more. The Committee members agreed that the
structure should be looked at again. Jeanne pointed out that the I--5 Corridor
group has a list of major property owners identified which may be approached
to provide more financing than the dues structure provides for. She suggested
that a list of those properties, businesses, and banks which could underwrite
the Council be established. Susan suggested that a list of achievable goals
would be needed to help encourage those major contributors to participate.
Jeanne announced that the Chamber has negotiated a lease with the City to move
into the former City Hall on Main Street. The purpose is to eventually
purchase the building and to have it declared a Historic Property . A press
conference will be held on Wednesday, February 26 at 10 AM to announce the
cooperative effort. John noted that the Chamber' s decision was prompted by
the involvement with the Economic Development Committee and the efforts to
create a Downtown Council The Chamber' s choice_ was made because of its
commitment to the downtown efforts, i.t was not made because of the rent
arrangements .
Bill. described the City effort to improve Main Street and the Main Street
Bridge. The City has hired an engineering consultant to design an improved
bridge, and Main Street. The original plan to resurface Main Street has been
postponed into Fiscal Year 1987 because greater repair needs are needed than
just a resurface.
Burlington Northern has an economic development group which should be
contacted to begin discussion on the combination of railroad tracks in the
downtown. Bill reported that the new City Engineer, Randall. Wooley, will be
asked to initiate conversation with both Southorn Pacific and Burlington
Northern.
Oon mentioned the success that Sari Francisco has had in enforcing a color code
for buildings . Some discussion was held concerning design standards and
committee review.
The Committee discussed the coordination with the Chamber and how the Chamber
feels about the proposed arrangement. Jeanne pointed out that five Chamber
Board members have businesses in the area.
The Committee discussed developments planned for 1986 and the current vacant
space relation in the Commercial. and Industrial markets.
John encouraged all to attend the Thursday meeting.
Other Business — Tony Orl.andini' s term has expired from the committee.
Juanita Caday has been appointed as his replacement.
The March edition of Oregon Business Magazine will feature the I-5 Corridor
and the downtown area.
The next meeting will. be held on Tuesday, March 18, 1986 at Pioneer Pies at
7:30 A.M.
