Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: John Goodrich, Public Works Division Manager
Re: Willamette Intake Facilities Intergovernmental Agreement
Date: February 14, 2018
During the February 13, 2018 Council study session, Mayor Cook asked a question related to
the cost allocation for the Willamette Intake Facilities (WIF) purchase and expansion project.
Staff requested time to research the specific question regarding Tigard's 10 percent of expanded
capacity (15 mgd) but at an allocated cost share greater than 10 percent.
The information to answer this question is provided in Exhibit 11 (ExbibitA) sx ithin the
Willamette Intake Facilities Intergovenmental Agreement provided in the agenda summary
packet. To expand the information, staff created a cost allocation table (Exhibit B) that shows
the cost percentage for each portion of the project to expand the facility.
Based on this project cost breakdown,Tigard's cost allocation for the Intake Improvements
Project is $2,258,783 which is 14.8 percent of the total cost $15,267,000 as the engineering
estimate. Tigard's purchase of existing WIF assets is $750,239. Total Tigard estimated cost is
$3,009,022.
In Exhibit 11, (ExbibitA) footnotes are provided to explain the discrepancy in percent capacity
share vs. percent cost share. This is due to agreement negotiations that provided Wilsonville full
credit of the undepreciated asset value of the existing 20 mgd screen asset. Wilsonville also did
not participate in the costs related to seismic improvements since their entire water treatment
plant facility is located on site, and making improvements only to the intake structure did not
provide direct benefit to Wilsonville.
This resulted in the other partners, including Tigard to share these costs vith a remaining
project participants.

Intake Improvements Cost Allocation Summary Preliminary
Estimate - June 2017
Description:
The following is a summary of the cost estimate for the Intake Facilities improvements required to
achieve a Capacity of 150 MGD. The cost estimates are based on preliminary design and will be refined
as design progresses. Attachment 1 includes the preliminary design drawings and layout of the Intake
Facilities.
Assumptions
1. Costs based on WWSP cost estimates presented to WGG on 5/25/17
2. Assumes total expanded capacity of intake is 150 MGD, including:
Feature Capacity(MGD)
Existing Screen Capacity 70
Additional Screen Capacity resulting from expansion 80
Existing Hydraulic Capacity of intake pipe&caisson 120
Additional Hydraulic Capacity of intake pipe&caisson from 30
expansion
3. Assumes permitting and mitigation costs=$1.257 million(WWSP,6/9/17)
4. Assumes screen cost for 150 MGD= $4.65 million—includes intake screen replacement to 150
MGD,intake screen protection,and upgrades to air burst system(WWSP,5/24/17)
5. Assumes seismic upgrade for the Intake Facilities=$9.36 million—includes piles and jet grout
for seismic stability of existing caisson structure(only); does not include seismic improvements
for WWSS improvements(WWSP, 5/24/17)
6. Value of remaining useful life of existing screen=$7,876 per MGD (Wilsonville,March 2017)
Anticipated Cost Allocations
Note: Costs and cost allocations are based on capacity shares and preliminary cost estimates as of
current date and are subject to change.Final cost shares will be updated based on final capacity
shares and actual costs for proposed improvements using cost allocation methodology as detailed

Public Comment
• Public Comment began in November and concluded on December 28
• Oregon Water Utilities Council submitted public comments. (See the attached
letter)
— OWUC is asking for additional allocation from the joint use pool
— OWUC is seeking a reduction in the acre foot cost of water
• We need to stay actively involved in the reallocation efforts to be sure that
existing water rights are not impaired.
Delivering the Best Water Service Value is

2/13/2018
OWUC Will Require Support for Federal Legislation
Reallocation effort will require federal legislation with opportunity (need)
to advocate for a "better" preferred option
• Goals:
— Change or implement federal legislation to get allocate more water from the
joint use pool to municipal and industry users
— Enhance the reliability and protection of existing M&I water rights
— Lower the cost per acre foot of water
• COE scheduled to complete feasibility study phase by August 18, 2018
• Significant effort required to encourage adoption of a "better" preferred option
• Uncertain outcome at this time
Delivering the Best Water, Service Value 19
Next Steps
• Oregon Water Utility Council Willamette Subcommittee has distributed a
proposal for continuation and expansion of work for M&I interests
— Technical support and coordination for M&I water rights and demands
— Advocacy for federal legislation for a "better" preferred option
• Total proposed budget for technical support and advocacy is $160,000
— Costs allocated to all OWUC Subcommittee members based on capacity of
existing water rights
— WRWC's share is $50,000—included in WRWC Draft Work Plan and Budget
• Anticipate an IGA, MOU or work plan for final approval by WRWC Board
— Final scope of work, budget and cost allocations to Subcommittee members
— Authorize WRWC participation and funding

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor Cook and City Councilors
FROM: Mike McCarthy, Senior Project Engineer
RE: Metro Funding Application for Fanno Creek Trail (Bonita to Tualatin)
DATE: February 13, 2018
We have an opportunity to use Metro local (non-federal) funds for conceptual design of the Fanno
Creek Trail from Bonita Road to the Tualatin River—its last piece through Tigard. The city is
working to finish the trail from Woodard Park through Downtown to Bonita Road. When this is
done, the last remaining trail gap will be from Bonita Road to the Tualatin River. Adopted Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) Project # 95057 is to develop the conceptual design of the Fanno Creek
Trail from Bonita Rd,to the Tualatin River.
Metro's Active Transportation Division is seeking project proposals for Regional Flexible Funding
Account (RFFA) Active Transportation Development Projects. Metro desires to use this funding to
help develop projects (such as trails) through the pre-design stages so that sponsor agencies can
apply for engineering and construction funds to complete them.
The Fanno Creek Trail (Bonita Road to Tualatin River) Alignment Study (CIP # 95057) is the type
of project for which this funding is intended. Its purpose is to `evaluate alternate alignment options
along Fanno Creek and include development of a conceptual recommended trail alignment.' This
would complete enough conceptual design work to make this project ready and competitive for
detailed design and construction funding.
We have been working with Metro staff to better understand this funding opportunity, and give
them a better understanding of this project. The project and funding appear to be an excellent fit
with each other. This is local funding, without the typical federal bureaucratic requirements. NX'hile
no matching funds are required, we propose the city cover its own staff time cost to simplify- and
show our investment in the project. We have met with the Cita- of Durham (as some trail alignment
options go through Durham) and they support this project and application. Metro funds would
allow conceptual design to be completed in Durham.
We plan to submit this funding application. If you have any questions or concerns about it, please
call me at 503-718-2462 or e-mail mikem@tigar�d-oror.gov. Thank you.

Feeling the Love
In honor of Valentine's Day, this week we are sharing two of our recent notes of appreciation for Public Works
field staff.
"We recently noticed water standing in our meter box and called Tigard water to report the issue. NX-e simply want
to say how much we appreciate all of those involved in correcting the problem for being so prompt and respectful
of the property and landscape as well as for being so kind and professional during their presence. We always find
your staff to be very customer oriented and friendly. In observing the crew we noticed how well they work
together and how communicative they are to one another."
—Mike and Kathy Landeu,written letter received February 12, 2018
"Wanted to call and complement the Cook Park Crew. There was a tree that came down about six weeks ago,right
at the beginning of the year, and I've seen your amazing crew working on it and I thought they were going to be
removing the tree. But to my surprise and delight, they did not. The tree is still there,but beautifully displaced with
new landscaping. I just really wanted to thank whoever is responsible for the thoughtful consideration of the tree
and people like me who go to the park every day and really enjoy them... I love Cook Park and I love walking
there every da;-. I just really wanted to say thank you and Happy Valentine's Day!"

With nod to 'Hamilton,' Tigard's mayor delivers State of City address
Ray Pitz Thursday, February 08, 2018
Tigard High School's Choralation Choir performed a tribute to the accomplishments
of the city last year during a performance at Broadway Rose Theatre
COURTESY OF JOHN COOK- Members of
' Choralation Choir at Tigard High School did a
hip hop/rap rendition of'Tigard On!' a tribute
to the accomplishments of the city over the
last year during Mayor John Cook's State of
E the City address Wednesday.
�y
With a nod to the hit musical "Hamilton,"
students from Tigard High School's
Choralation Choir took the packed theater at
Y - Broadway Rose Theatre Company
Wednesday night through its paces with a
rap and hip hop trip tribute spotlighting city
accomplishments last year.
The group, directed by Robert Hawthorne, was part of Mayor John Cook's annual State of the City presentation, an
annual event that attracts local residents, area mayors, county commissioners and others.
A sampling of their Hamilton-esque emulation entitled "Tigard On!"—with Sharon Gavin, city of Tigard's
communications manager, writing the lyrics, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, composing the music, included:
"Well every day our folks are working throughout the city
Patrolling, sharing stories, keeping parks safe and pretty.
Crews check underground for sewers that are gritty,
Inside we help folks with problems big and bitty."
Later, Cook, who has been mayor since 2012, listed many of the goals set by the council in 2017 and their progress.
They included:
-Sending a local option levy to voters in May. The council is finalizing an overall bond-dollar amount but the push is
to raise an estimated $7 million a year to add to police services, parks maintenance and sidewalk improvements.
"We don't take that lightly," he said of the levy request. "We don't like spending people's money even though we've
been accused of(that)."
He noted that the levy is necessary to keep some city programs and services going at full speed, (adding one of his
go-to sayings regarding keeping things running under dire circumstances) by noting that things need to be held
together better than simply with "bubble gum and duct tape."
THE TIMES: RAY PITZ-Tigard Mayor John Cook talks
about the accomplishments of the city during his annual
State of the City address held Wednesday at the Broadway
Rose Theatre.
--Expanding recreational opportunities for people in
Tigard. He praised the first Music in the Park series last
year where 1,300 people showed up to an event that was
only expected to draw 200.
--Making downtown a place for people to be. Cook touted
the addition of new poles and Tigard banners along Main
Street as a big accomplishment, along with tearing down several buildings along Main Street next to Fanno Creek at
a site set for redevelopment.
-- Pursuit of light rail down the Southwest Corridor. Cook joked that the city had planned on specific funding "but
funding got off track." For 2018, plans are to finish the alignment from Portland to downtown Tigard.
--Implement the Tigard Triangle strategic plan. "It's an area that we're really looking to develop into the future," he
said. Cook spoke of the city's new so-called "lean code,"which makes development in the 500-acre parcel of
property bounded by Highway 99W to the north, Highway 217 to the west and south and Interstate 5 to the east
easier.
--Annexation of certain areas into the city limits. Cook noted that 10 "islands" of property were annexed into the city
last year after an extensive outreach program.
"For 2018, we want to continue that outreach," he said, noting he wants to approach those who might be potential
candidates for annexation in a positive manor, adding there might be incentives if they chose to do so.
Meanwhile, Cook praised the completed water treatment plant in West Linn that marks the official completion of the
Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership.
"The other thing we've done is we've formed a homelessness task force," he pointed out.
Other milestones over the year included both the hiring of new Tigard Police Chief Kathy McAlpine, who came from
the Tacoma Police Department, and the council approving a resolution making the city, which reads in part that
Tigard agrees to become a "welcoming community ... where every person feels safe, regardless of immigration
status."

Tigard council moves forward with local option levy proposal
Ray Pitz Thursday, February 08, 2018
On Tuesday, the Tigard City Council agreed to move forward with sending voters a
$7 million yearly levy in May
WC11comc to
SLY%
TIGARD
y
COURTESY OF CITY OF TIGARD-The city of Tigard is looking at sending residents a local option levy this May.
The Tigard City Council has agreed to send a local option levy to voters this May aimed at raising $7 million
annually for five years with the possibility of renewing it at the same rate for another five years.
On Tuesday, the council approved having the city manager and city attorney draft a ballot title for a measure that's
aimed at maintaining current city services and adding to them as well.
That proposal would cost residents $1.18 per$1,000 of assessed valuation on annual property taxes with an overall
dollar amount expected to be forwarded to the council next week.
City Manager Marty Wine told councilors that for at least the last three budget cycles it's been apparent the city isn't
able to meet its current revenue levels.
Last year a Tigard Levy and Bond Advisory Task Force was put together to look at the feasibility of a local option
levy, recommending a rate of anywhere from $1.25 to $1.50 to improve current city services.
"They also recommended there should be service enhancement,"said Wine.
That means that the original discussion of approaching voters with a request for$1 per$1,000 of assessed
valuation would be enough to maintain services but not improve them. Specific recommendations from the task
force have been to add to such city services as police and public safety issues, park maintenance and safe routes to
school/sidewalks.
The levy would also restore $2.6 million in proposed cuts to general fund services programs that are expected to be
forwarded to the Tigard Budget committee this spring, city officials have said.
"We would envision a successful levy would restore these reductions,"Wine said.
Weighing in on the issue, Councilor John Goodhouse said the sooner the city can pass a levy the better, noting that
Tigard is behind other cities of its size in services provided.
Sending a levy to voters in May is necessary Councilor Tom Anderson said, pointing out that the city is frozen with a
tax rate from the 1990s.
Council President Jason Snider said while he'd like to go for a larger levy, he could live with the smaller amount
given the circumstances.
Meanwhile, Councilor Marc Woodard said he wouldn't support the levy until long-needed performance audits are
conducted on several city departments.
However, Mayor John Cook said he was supportive of a levy in May, noting that the Tigard Budget Committee has
been recommending one for the last three to four years. He said city departments and staffs have been maxed out
for several years.
NEWS & NOTES
Tigard gives "Mate of City" address Hamilton-style
During Tigard's "State of the City,"the biggest spotlight was on a
group of Tigard High Choralation Choir students, who gave a
Tigard rendition of the Broadway hit"Hamilton."
The choir sang and rapped for about five minutes about all of the
activities and services the city has provided over the course of
2017, while a city slideshow played behind them.
After the group's performance and standing ovation, Mayor John
-- Cook took to the stage to talk about the status of the City Council's
two year goals.
This included a possible option levy to help fully fund services
and items such as
police, parks, and
sidewalks.
He also touched on the Southwest Corridor, urban renewal in
the Tigard Triangle, public outreach and annexation, completion of
the water supply project done in partnership with Lake Oswego,
the safe routes to schools program, the formation of a homeless
task force, and other issues.
