The Tigard Farmers Market opened on April 23. She announced the launch of a new Thursday Market at the Tigard Heritage Trail Plaza, soon to be the Rotary Plaza, from 4-8 p.m. starting June 1.This market helps with placemaking for the plaza,helps to revitalize downtown Tigard and reinforces the vision of a walkable city. Council President Snider commented that he attended the opening day of the Tigard Farmers Market and enjoyed seeing it get underway. C. Follow-up to Previous Citizen Communication—None. D. Citizen Communication—Sign-up Sheet. Mayor Cook announced that there will be 20 minutes for people who have signed up to speak on something not on the agenda. He went over some groundrules and requested that the audience be polite and respectful to each other. He said he will choose speakers that live in Tigard first,as was the practice at the last business meeting where everyone listing Tigard as their address got a chance to speak. He said speakers would be allowed 90 seconds rather than 120 seconds so more people could have an opportunity to speak. Lea Williams, 12129 SW Anton Drive,Tigard, OR 97223 gave a report to council that said sanctuary cities have higher crime rates. She said we are a nation of rule of law and without them there is chaos. Her great-grandfather came through Ellis Island where he was vetted for health,occupation,and a location to go to. She said growing up in Nebraska she saw migrant workers who had work permits and could come into the country legally,without using the dangerous services of a coyote to cross the border. They could not be threatened because they had permits to be here. They did the work,left and came back the next year. She said with all the wonderful people that cross the border there is an element that are murderers,drug dealers and gang members. The safest time to return them to Mexico is when the police pick them up and turn them into the federal agents. If the agents have to go out into the community to look for people,the ones that are endangered the most are Spanish citizens. She said she does not want people to get hurt. She noticed clergy were present and said she wanted to know what denomination they represented and whether they receive money from immigration. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES-April 25 2017 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.tigud-or.gov I Page 2 of 13 James Elstad, 12505 SW North Dakota,Tigard, OR 97223, said sanctuary city status puts all law abiding citizens,residents and illegals at risk. He asked if the city would be responsible because of an attempted arrest or release causing someone to be injured or killed. He said Tigard residents should speak for themselves. He has been at other council meetings where people allowed someone else to speak for them. He asked council to give less weight to the opinion of someone who is not a Tigard resident and has a habit of going from city council meeting to city council meeting pushing their agenda. Cleon Cox, 13580 SW Ash Avenue,Tigard, OR,has been a resident for the past 32 years. He voiced his opinion against the city taking on city sanctuary status. He said he is going by what he reads in the newspapers and hears on the news.This is a country of laws and he feels it is very important that it continue to be that way. He said he follows the laws because he does not want to be incarcerated or fined. We need to do things legally. There are other ways to go about this. The Tigard-Tualatin School District has a proposal that will accommodate questions from students but not to take on the sanctuary status. Mr. Cox said it is dangerous for us to start breaking laws because that turns into anarchy and possible chaos. Joe Jumalon, 14425 SW 93d Avenue,Tigard OR 97224, said there is a lot of fear going around. He asked, "If I do not want to pay my federal taxes who amongst you do I talk to? Because they are coming to the city of Tigard to ask for sanctuary from federal law. So who amongst council has that authority so I don't have to pay my taxes anymore?" He asked, "Who amongst you has the authority to tell the police department which laws to enforce and not enforce?" He said when people are elected it is expected that they will enforce our laws. Former Governor Kitzhaber decided he would not enforce the death penalty. He said he does not think office holders are elected to decide which law they deem reasonable or not. This is anarchy. In Portland there are people carrying signs and doing millions of dollars of damages because an election didn't go their way. He said he hoped council looked at this and decides not to go against laws. There is a proper way to amend laws and this isn't it. [At this point Mayor Cook reminded the crowd he expects them to be respectful to the speakers and said if that is not upheld there are processes within the code to address the behavior,including removal.] Tim Esau, 12247 SW 114'h Terrace,Tigard,OR 97223,is a 30-year Tigard resident. He has been involved with many aspects of the city and cares a lot about Tigard. He asked council not to go forward with any kind of declaration of a sanctuary city because he did not believe there is sound cause or foundation for it. It encourages illegal immigration and is unfair to legal immigrants who want to come into this country properly. He said it also puts a cost on residents in terms of the extra burden placed on police, fire and other things. It promotes crime and jeopardizes citizens. It puts the police in risky situations. They should not be defying federal law. Our form of government pre-supposes fidelity to the law even if we disagree with it. He asked that council represent him as a citizen and do not move forward with declaring Tigard a sanctuary city. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -April 25 2017 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 3 of 13 Susan Pfahl, 11985 SW Carmen Street,has lived in Tigard for 30 years. She does not want Tigard to designate itself as a sanctuary city. For immigrants here legally with the appropriate visa,welcome! Immigrants bring their energy,intelligence and skills to make our nation better and for that we thank them. The United States of America is a nation of laws. Our society is founded on following them. If someone has chosen to come illegally,what other laws will they choose to ignore. She said she cannot ignore any law without a consequence and asked, "Why should Tigard create a special subclass that is able to ignore certain portions of our law. People coming here illegally create an underclass of people who cannot fully participate in our society or economy. This is not a racist stance. No matter where anyone is from,be it Latin America,Africa,or Canada,they are here legally or illegally. People need to be here legally and obtain the appropriate visa, follow the rules,or leave the United States. She said, "Do not designate Tigard as a sanctuary city." Salvador Castaneda,9815 SW Walnut Place,Tigard,OR 97223 said he found it interesting that community members living here for so long find this as a nation founded on laws. He said people forget that this nation began as a massacre of people indigenous to this continent. No one is illegal. He asked, "How far do you want to go back and start that illegal label?" He said declaring Tigard a sanctuary city would not change anything other than to give assurance of safety and peace of mind. He said we are already in a sanctuary state and it is only right for the city to show the community it is behind them, no matter where they are from. Not doing this shows them that you are not with everyone just because they are born somewhere else and came here looking for a better life. Not all illegals are criminals because being illegal is a civil issue;it is not a criminal issue. Elizabeth Strilky, 610 SE Hawthorne,Portland, OR said she is here to say Tigard should become a sanctuary city. No human being is illegal and no human being should be afraid to go about their businesses or go to school. She had a friend in high school that got put in the foster care system because her parents were undocumented. This costs the state and the city money. People are put in jail because they were born in another country. She asked,"Who do we take out next?People of color?People with different political views?"An injury to one is an injury to all. We need to let everyone stay and respect everyone's right to life here in Tigard. Please show love. Samuel Alarid, 9800 SW Frewing#42,Tigard, OR 97223, said he has lived here for five-six years and said there is a lot of fear going around. People are afraid to come out of their homes. Children are afraid of their families breaking apart because of what is happening in the political realm. Declare this a sanctuary city because you do not want people living in fear. People do bad things when they are always afraid. He said he will be affected by what will happen if Tigard does not declare itself a sanctuary city. We need to make sure people who live here and work and pay taxes feel safe. Roger Potthoff, 11710 SW Ann Street,Tigard has been a Tigard resident since 1999,and is pleased to speak in favor of a sanctuary city regimen here in Tigard. It is important to understand that sanctuary city is undefined legally and a court case upheld the injunction of San Francisco and Santa Clara County where federal funds could not be withheld because TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES-April 25 2017 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.fgard-or.gov I Page 4 of 13 "sanctuary city"is not defined. Consequently,the concerns about financial impacts to sanctuary cities are unfounded. The State of Oregon is a sanctuary state and an ORS provides that there will be no exchange of information regarding immigration status in police activities. Jennifer Teshera, 13300 SW Benish St.,Tigard, OR said she is in the middle. She said she loves people and her number one concern is for the police She expressed concern for the police and the extra stress. She said she is involved with the CERT group (Community Emergency Response Team). Dorothy Cottingham, 13049 SW Brianne Way,Tigard, OR 97223,is the Pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church at the corner of Bull Mountain Road and Highway 99W. She said she is part of a group of Tigard area pastors here tonight accompanying some of Tigard's most vulnerable neighbors. She said they support this council's discussion concerning sanctuary city status. It is not easy but they urge council to move forward in spite of the executive order to withhold federal funds from cities with sanctuary status. There is a temporary ruling that halts this. She asked that Tigard courageously join Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro and others to stand for the dignity and safety of all residents. She said they are here to support the council in making the community welcoming for everyone. Art Crino, 14580 SW 126h Avenue in Tigard has lived here for 50 years. His parents came from Italy through the normal channels. Every year millions come through those channels plus millions of others come on various visas. He said he found early in life that he did not have the latitude of only following the laws he favored. There were consequences. By the same token he encouraged the City of Tigard to reject the sanctuary city designation.There are people inside and outside of the federal government who are working to get rid of the local police. He asked that Tigard not flirt with that. Hitler took advantage of that and we ended up with the gestapo. He said that is why many are active in the Support your Local Police Committee. Gary Blodgett, 10942 SW Black Diamond Way,Tigard,said he has lived here for 38 years and is concerned about criminals here illegally and are not deported because of their status of being a felon. Felons here illegally should not be here and should face justice and removed from the country. He said he does not want his grandchildren to be under a threat because people are here illegally as criminals. He said he was not speaking about undocumented people,just criminals. Patrick McGuire, 10970 SW Durham Road,Tigard,97224, said he has been meaning to get more involved in local government. He said he attended the last city council meeting where this was discussed and he has been studying the issue. He is supportive of Tigard as a sanctuary city because the State of Oregon, since the 1980s has not required state and city police to support immigration laws. This resolution is symbolic and symbols matter. It is the right thing to do.This would communicate that vulnerable residents are part of our community.

She is a community member who cares about the wellbeing of citizens and supports Tigard voting to become a sanctuary city. We want a place that offers safety for all its citizens and she does not want her community to live in fear. They work and play here and children should feel safe and not live in fear that they may not see their parents the next morning. D. Follow-up to Previous Citizen Communication— Mayor Cook read the City of Tigard Statement of Unity which was added to the packet for this meeting. Copies were available at the front of the room. 4.

LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO TIGARD MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 7.52 A. Mayor Cook opened the public hearing. C. Economic Development Manager Purdy gave the staff report. He shared a report about amending the municipal code and repealing a prohibition created about ten years ago. The request is to allow alcohol consumption in public parks in the downtown (urban renewal district.) Several public parks in the urban renewal district could be used in the future for street festivals, fiestas and the Taste of Tigard food festival where alcoholic beverages could be used as part of an event featuring local businesses. The current ordinance also prevents businesses near the Heritage Trail for example, to serve alcohol to their patrons in the future if desired,in the area adjacent to their business. This would keep customers from making purchases. Ten years ago we did not see downtown as we do now— an active social gathering place. There is a letter of support for this change from the City Center Advisory Commission. It will be added to the meeting packet. D. Mayor Cook called on those who have signed up to speak. City Center Advisory Commission Chair Carine Arendes, 9544 SW North Dakota Street, Tigard, OR 97223 said the CCAC wants downtown parks to be treated the same way as other city parks. She said they want to have them be public gathering spaces that can be activated, especially in the summer. Lea Williams, 12129 SW Anton,Tigard, OR 97223 said Tigard is a family community and keeping it that way is the reason why there is no public consumption of alcohol allowed in the downtown area. She said children can come there and not be exposed to things. There are plenty of other places for adults to go. She said she thought there would be many people speaking this way if they had known it would be considered tonight. She recommended keeping the law as it is. E. Economic Development Director Purdy thanked the residents who testified and said both sides had good points. He said in almost all city parks, families can come and enjoy a glass of wine or beer. This prohibition is only in the downtown so we have been treating downtown parks differently. It is time to reconsider this. He said a permit from the City Manager and Police Department is required for anything beyond a personal use. This will still apply. He said this is an option the city may want to have. He said downtown Tigard is becoming a cultural and social"living room" and this may be an option we want to have. F. Council Questions of Staff Councilor Goodhouse asked if the permitting process is similar to the Tigard Festival of Balloons where there is a designated alcohol area. Mr. Purdy said that would depend on the TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -April 25 2017 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.dgard-or.gov I Page 7 of 13 event and OLCC could be asked for a license for open containers within a certain defined area or confined to a smaller segment, such as a beer garden. Mr. Purdy verified that this would follow OLCC rules. He said a coffee shop next to a public park, for example, could be allowed to offer beer if this is something they want to do someday. Patrons would not be able to sit outside on one of the street benches and drink. But this would allow them to activate a nearby park or plaza. Mayor Cook offered some history on the current law which was put into place due to issues with vagrants drinking in the downtown. He said some of the previous issues have been solved with better lighting, etc. He noted that it is allowed in every other park. He said the city has added parks since the law went into effect. Mr. Purdy said the legislation did not list park names in the urban renewal district because the list will grow and there may even be a restaurant where they want to serve beer. He added that whatever the city does with this ordinance, OLCC laws must still be followed. F. Mayor Cook closed the public hearing. G Council Consideration of Ordinance No. 17-06 Councilor Woodard noted that beer gardens are part of fun events in the parks. He said he understands wanting to activate the downtown parks and wants the standard applied equally and fairly to all parks. He said he did not have too many concerns and noted that downtown is a different place than when he was a child growing up in Tigard. Councilor Anderson said has no problem with it and thought it would help create new events downtown. He suggested watching the situation and scaling back if there are issues. Councilor Goodhouse was in favor of allowing alcohol but wants it limited to permitted events and specific areas. He noted that council discussed not allowing marijuana in parks and it seemed odd that alcohol could now be allowed. Council President Snider asked if the Tigard Downtown Alliance had weighed in. Councilor Anderson said he did not see anything from them. City Attorney Rihala said OLCC laws require that any time liquor is available for sale or there is a charge for admission, there must be a state permit for it. There are also laws for sales in restaurants. The requirement in this code said not only that the licensee comply with the city code but also the state licensing. Councilor Goodhouse moved to approve Ordinance No. 17-06 limited to the OLCC laws and not opening it up for personal use unless within a restaurant or permitted event. Mayor Cook noted that it is legal now to consume in a park. City Attorney Rihala said that a significant amendment would require continuing the discussion at another meeting. The motion died for lack of a second.

CONSIDER ADOPTION OF BYLAWS FOR THE TASK FORCE FOR THE HOMELESS Senior Management Analyst Wyatt and Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL) Fellow Thesing gave the staff report. In 2016 Tigard's council had a goal related to the homeless and held discussions on the issue and what resources exist. Out of those conversations came recommendations such as a mailbox, and a Luke Dorf outreach worker to help individuals at the library. Leadership Tigard chose homelessness as their community project. A recommendation was made to formulate a task force and develop bylaws. Ms.Thesing shared the proposed bylaws. She noted that initially the task force membership was limited to only those living and working in Tigard. They propose striking that in the interest of forming a well-rounded pool of members with a variety of experiences. Ideally, the task force will produce a report with recommendations for short- and long-term actions. There should be cost estimates and a scope of work for feasible solutions. Mayor Cook noted that he was in favor of taking out the requirement to be a Tigard citizen to sit on the task force. He said he was also not in favor of term limits and asked, "If someone is passionate and involved,why limit their service?" Council President Snider agreed. Councilor Goodhouse added that this is a short duration group so term limits may not even apply. Mayor Cook recommended removing the mandate on how often they will meet. Senior Management Analyst Wyatt said the bi-weekly wording was just to give people an idea of what commitment may be required. Councilor Woodard suggested the board members meet first and decide together the frequency of meetings. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -April 25 2017 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 9 of 13 Mayor Cook said Councilor Anderson is the liaison to this task force. He asked Senior Management Analyst Wyatt about the timeframe and he responded that staff would like to start advertising for task force members immediately. He said they will make the amendments as suggested by council. Councilor Snider moved to adopt the Task Force for the Homeless Bylaws as presented with the following amendments: remove requirement for city residence, striking term limit language and changing the time requirement to more flexible language. His motion was seconded by Councilor Anderson. The motion passed unanimously and the bylaws will be on a future consent agenda. Yes No Councilor Woodard ✓ Councilor Anderson ✓ Mayor Cook ✓ Councilor Goodhouse ✓ Council President Snider ✓ 8. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION FOR THE FY 2017 THIRD QUARTER BUDGET Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance and Public Contracts Manager Barrett gave the staff report on this item. Mr. LaFrance noted how this supplemental budget ties to the 2018 budget discussions. The slow degradation of service as costs outstrip revenues can be seen with this third quarter supplemental. Due to the number of years with low staff in the IT division the city did not keep up with licensing requirement paperwork. Addressing this software license situation now will save the city from larger fines. Staffing increases include increasing a utility billing clerk from 32 hours to 40 hours and hiring another which will be paid for by the growth in customers. Public Works engineering staff need help to keep up with city water projects,primarily Cach Reservoir which has been accelerated by River Terrace development. This is paid for by sources outside the general fund. Four additional FTEs are recommended to keep up with service demands in the library,grounds maintenance and human resources. Councilor Goodhouse asked about the police vehicle and why everything was not covered by insurance. Mr. LaFrance said they have special after-market equipment and it is also due to the way it is paid. There will be insurance revenue coming in but the city has to appropriate it to spend it. Councilor Goodhouse moved to approve Resolution No. 17-21. Council President Snider seconded the motion. City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the resolution.

LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD: CONSIDERATION OF A CONTRACT AWARD TO WALLIS ENGINEERING Purchasing Manager Barrett and Economic Development Manager Purdy gave the staff report. These contracts are for the Hunziker infrastructure project. State, federal and regional grants are funding this project. The QBS process was used to select the firm and Wallis Engineering is the recommendation of staff. A price was negotiated and the contract cost is $480,583. It is budgeted through the current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and will be reimbursed through an EDA grant, developer contributions and state funding. There were no questions from council. Councilor Woodard moved to approve the contract award to Wallis Engineering. Councilor Anderson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Yes No Councilor Woodard ✓ Councilor Anderson ✓ Mayor Cook ✓ Councilor Goodhouse ✓ Council President Snider ✓ 10. LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD: CONSIDERATION OF A CONTRACT AWARD TO ALTA Purchasing Manager Barrett and Economic Development Manager Purdy gave the staff report. Mr. Barrett said this contract is for design and construction administration services for the Tigard Street Heritage Trail. He noted that landscape architects are specifically excluded from the QBS process so the city advertised a regular request for proposals and received two responses.After reviewing those staff recommends the contract be awarded to Alta. The amount is $200,000. Council TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -April 25 2017 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 11 of 13 President Snider moved to approve the contract with Alta and Councilor Anderson seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Yes No Councilor Woodard ✓ Councilor Anderson ✓ Mayor Cook ✓ Councilor Goodhouse ✓ Council President Snider ✓ 11. RECEIVE UPDATE ON ISLAND ANNEXATION PROCESS Assistant City Manager Newton and Confidential Executive Assistant Bengtson gave the staff report for this item. The city is annexing nine islands. An outreach meeting for island residents was held on April and four city councilors attended. She heard interest and is following up with some questions. Mayor Cook asked if a condition can be added that says they do not have to hook up to sewer until they sell their home. Ms. Newton said it has been a fun project and people were very positive about the outreach. Postcards will be sent to those the city has not yet heard from. If they still do not call the city, staff will put out door hangers. Councilor Goodhouse commended staff on the April 5 event. Mayor Cook and Councilor Woodard echoed the compliments and said the city is engaging the community in a different way than was done in the past. Ms. Newton said one of council's goals was to annex the remaining islands and the outreach message may not be as difficult as originally imagined. Councilor Goodhouse asked about the address labels that were part of the packet. Ms. Newton said they show the 77 people contacted. Mayor Cook said it is a public record and advised that just the names be listed in the future. Ms. Newton said the public hearings will be held on June 27, 2017. Council thanked them for the update and Mayor Cook advised them to, "Keep up the good work." 12. EXECUTIVE SESSION None scheduled 13.
