New Tigard Library Construction Committee
Meeting Notes
Monday July 9, 2001
The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m. The Committee members present were: Joyce Patton, Sue Carver,
Kathy Sleeger, David Chapman, Jim Funk, Curtis Tigard, George Burgess and Elaine Heras. Also
present was Gary Larson BML Architects. Staff present were Bill Monahan, Gus Duenas and
Margaret Barnes.
Chairperson David Chapman asked the Committee to review the meeting notes from the June 11
committee meeting. A motion was made by Patton and a second by George Burgess. The Committee
approved the notes.
Chairperson Chapman invited Gary Larson to discuss the idea of a model with the Committee. Gary
stated the purpose of a model is to represent the idea of a new library to the public. He also stated the
model would be a way to represent a two-story structure and the site, once it is determined. The model
is also a way to demonstrate the relationship between the functionality and architectural design of a
building. Gary had two different examples of models that he presented to the Committee. One was
constructed out of wood, the other out of paper and plastic. A wood model is typically more abstract,
it conveys the sense of shape of a structure without specifics. A paper/plastic model will convey the
idea of the structure to the public. With the paper/plastic model it is possible to show examples of the
interior, highlight significant spaces and have the ability to select colors. Gary stated the cost of a
paper/plastic model is typically 25% less than a wood model. The Committee thought the model
would be an effective tool to represent this project to the community. The Committee examined both
models and discussed the merits of each. Councilors Patton favored the paper/plastic model because it
gives a realistic view of a structure. Gus Duenas asked how stable and durable the paper/plastic model
would be. After some additional discussion the Committee agreed by consensus to recommend to the
City Councilor the construction of a paper/plastic model of the proposed new library.
City Manager, Bill Monahan and City Engineer, Gus Duenas provided additional information to the
Committee about Site D and Site E.
The Committee then discussed their presentation to Council. George Burgess volunteered to present
information about the model, Sue Carver volunteered to present information about the public
information campaign, Bill Monahan volunteered to present updated information about Site D and Site
E.
The Committee discussed the development of the "fact sheets" to be distributed to the community.
The "fact sheets" will also be posted on the City Webpage. Councilor Patton suggested that the "fact
sheets" focus on the advantages that the library provides and the positive things the library is currently
doing. The "fact sheets" could also inform people about what the library could do with a new larger
facility. The "fact sheets" are also a way to inform the community about current successful programs
like the programs that are provided for children.
Curtis Tigard mentioned the importance of the Summerfield neighborhood and also the need to stress
to that community what the library currently provides in the way of service and what it could provide
in the future with a new building.
The Committee is scheduled to meet again on Monday, August 13 at 6:30 p.m.
The meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Honorable Mayor and ity Council Members
FROM: Bill Monah
DATE: July 24, 2001
SUBJECT: Library Site Options
Attached is a letter from Dominic Colletta of the City Attorney's office advising that the
former Albertson's site (Value Village) and Rite-Aid site present difficult obstacles for
acquisition for a new library site.
As Dom's memo shows, the Albertson's site is apparently on a long-term lease to a tenant
which does not have plans to move. The same is true of the Rite-Aid property. According
to information available to our city attorneys, the leases on the properties extend more
than 20 years. Thus, acquisition of the property would involve both buying the land and
buildings and also paying for the remaining term of the lease as well as relocation.
This information indicates that the property is not presently available and if the city should
pursue acquisition substantial obstacles are present. In addition, the cost is unknown and
the time frame in which the properties would be available is uncertain.
This information is being made available to the members of the New Library Construction
Committee so the committee may determine whether further pursuit of the property is
important

RE: Status of Investigation of Potential Tigard Library Site Identified as
Tax Lot#IOSAA00904, 12060 SW Main Street (Albertson's/Value
Village), and Tax Lot2S102AA00906 (Rite-Aid).
Pursuant to your request, this office has undertaken an investigation into the current
ownership and potential availability of the referenced properties (the"Properties")for
development and use as the Tigard City Library. As you are aware from your own
inquiries, the ownership of the Properties presents a difficult and muddled legal picture.
Accordingly, we have focused our efforts on identification of persons or entities
possessing ownership or control interests in the Properties, and determining the status of
leases through which the Properties are currently occupied by Value Village and Rite.
Aid, respectively. Our investigation initially led us down some blind alleys.
Albertson'-s alue Village Property("Property 111)
The current record ownership of the Albertson's/Value Village property("Property 1")
is held by an entity identified as the Jasue Trust, having an address of P.O. Box 20,
Boise, Idaho. Checks of the records of the Secretaries of State of Oregon and Idaho
failed to reveal any further information regarding Jasue, but it is interesting that the
letters 7', "A" and"S" are the same as the first letters of"Joe Albertson's
Supermarket", a tag line that has been prominently used in Albertson's advertising over
the years, and that the listed address is in Boise,the same city in which Albertson's
headquarters is located.
JUL 23 '01 08:19AM RAMIS CREW CORRIGAN P.3
I contacted by telephone Ken Elliott, a former partner of this firm and now an in-house
attorney for Albertson's. Ken advised that Albertson's sold many of their stores to one or.
more entities, and then performed a lease back for cash flow and tax reasons. Property 1
is in this category, but Ken confirmed that under the terms of the lease back arrangement,
Albertson's actually has substantial control over Property 1. He also confirmed that
Property 1 had been subleased to TVI, Inc.,which operates a Value Village store on the
site.
This information was confirmed by conversations with Mr. Shaun Graeer of Albertson's,
who confirmed that Albertson's had subleased Property 1 to TVI, Inc.,which is
apparently a property holding company for the Value Village and Savers chains of stores.
According to Mr. Graeer, the current Value Village sublease has options which could be
exercised by TVI to extend the sublease term for approximately 30 more years. A copy
of this sublease has been requested, but we are uncertain whether we will receive the
document.
Contact regarding Property 1 has also been made with Mr.Robert Coron of John Galt
Corporation, which organization is located in Pennsylvania and is the real estatelproperty
management entity for TVI. He described the store in question as being"active" and
stated that it was not likely that TVI would close the store in the immediate future.
While we have not been able to confirm with specificity the potential term of the Value
Village store sublease, it seems unlikely that this portion of the Properties would be for
We, and the existence of an active commercial lease on Property 1 would have a
substantial impact on the condemnation value of Property 1, and that tenant relocation
benefits would also likely be awardable in an eminent domain proceeding.
Rite-Aid ProRerty ("Property 2111
Rite-Aid(formerly Thrifty/Payless)has apparently also engaged in a We leaseback
arrangement affecting Property 2. In this case, the current owner is described by
representatives of Rite-Aid as being:
Charles M. Scimecca, attorney-in-fact for Edward.Granville-Smite, Jr.
250 S.E. Mizner Boulevard, Suite 503
Boca Raton, Florida_
The foregoing information was provided by Ms. Tracey Verastegui, director of store
development in the Pacific Northwest for Rite-Aid. Ms. Verastegui is located in Costa
Mesa, California. She advises that Rite-Aid has options which could extend the term of
its lease.for 27 more years, and that Rite-Aid had no plans to close the store.
Based on this information, it appears that Property 2 would also be a very difficult
acquisition.
Until directed otherwise,we will continue our investigations in hopes of obtaining copies
of lease documents to confirm the possible length of the leases affecting the Properties,

Until directed otherwise, we will continue our investigations in hopes of obtaining copies
of lease documents to confirm the possible length of the leases affecting the Properties,
and to determine whether there is any interest on the part of the relevant parties to sell to
the City, and on what terms.
On a final note, I would like to commend the efforts of Travis Hatton, our Municipal
Department paralegal, whose investigative skills and persistence have been instrumental
in obtaining the information provided above.
If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Re: Proposal for Professional Services
Tigard Public Library
Dear Margaret,
We are very excited to see the Tigard Public Library project move closer
towards to reality. The following scope of work and fee proposal is a response
to your request for conceptual design and the construction of an architectural
model for the new 47,000 sf library. The design will address the building
program,site constraints for the selected site, and additional input from the
Library Construction Committee. The graphics and model produced by this
effort will be suitable for display and fundraising purposes.
It is our intent that the conceptual design produced accurately represent the
final library design as closely as is feasible given the anticipated schedule lag
necessary for the fundraising phase to be concluded. To that end,we anticipate
a series of meetings with the Committee and Library Staff to answer questions
regarding the final location of departments as relates to the building
architecture. Site planning and design is also included.
The model will be cut and assembled by BML staff. We anticipate the model to
be constructed from at a scale of 1/16" = 1'-0". A wood base and Plexiglas
cover is included.
The design process should take approximately 6 to 8 weeks to conclude
depending upon the length of the intervals required for the committee to make
decisions. The model will take another 5 weeks to complete once the design is
finalized.

The fee for this work is a lump sum and is broken down as follows. The
conceptual design fee is approximately half of what would be considered an
appropriate schematic design fee if this project were to proceed and represents
approximately 7.5 percent of the total AE fee anticipated for this project.
Conceptual Design $35,100
Model $14,400
Reimbursable Expenses Allowance $3,500
Total Fee $53,000
Once you give us authorization to proceed,we will be able to start
immediately.

RE: Schedule and Description of Activities
Design and Model Preparation Period
Dear Margaret:
The work BML proposes to do over the next several months is directed at producing a design
for the new Library and a model that will accurately and emphatically represent the project to
the community in advance of a bond measure to be voted by the citizens of the City. We
have stressed that the model is the best way for the public to envision the building and
become boosters for it. And the sooner the model can be seen by the community, the better,
in terms of having adequate time to reach everyone and thoroughly spread the message
about the new Library.
We have generally agreed that having the model complete by mid-October would provide
enough display time prior to the election. We set out the following activities and schedule
directed at having the Library model complete on October 15, a Monday.
Work with a Staff Design Committee:
This work is aimed at making essential functional decisions about the facility. Issues
including the following become the focus of this group.
• location of functions by floor,
• adjacency of functions,
• traffic flow and circulation,
• size and layout of work space,
• ease of use for public and staff,
• access and privacy,
• daylight and library function,
• public and staff accommodation to support function,
• signage and way-finding
Work with Library Construction Committee:
This group will be involved with the architectural expression of the building,
• visual character,
• materials,
• pedestrian and vehicular access,
• image as a civic structure,

• use of natural light in the building,
• cost and value
as well as
• general site design and features,
• design concepts for the creek and wetlands,
• parking design and layout,
and,finally,
• providing overview on library functional solutions,
• offering comment from the community viewpoint,
• providing approvals for project progress.
BML will be involved with both groups on an ongoing basis and will make milestone
presentations to the City as needed. BML effort begins with diagramming functional
relationships, continues with architectural and spatial development and concludes with the
construction of the model. The last week of September and the two weeks in October prior to
completion will be focused on model construction based on a design essentially resolved by
the end of September. Other materials we will prepare include display boards of drawings of
site plan,floor plans, and building elevations and sections.
The schedule proposed for the above activities is as follows:
Staff Design Committee meets
August 10
August 17
August 24, option as needed
August 31
September 14
September 28, if needed
Library Construction Committee meets
August 13
August 27
September 17
October 1, Final
Model construction
Begins September 24
Complete October 15
We would suggest a meeting early next week with you, Bill, Gus and any others to finalize the
schedule and our preparations for this exciting part of creating the new Library. Call if you
have questions or if I may help in any way.

RE: Potential Tigard Library Sites
Dear Dom:
Thank you for your memo of July 22,2001, providing information on the potential
library sites occupied by Value Village and Rite-Aid. The information you provided
was very helpful to me in discussions with the Tigard City Council as well as the New
Library Construction Committee.
At this point, no further analysis is necessary. However,should you be contacted by the
representatives of either property indicating a change of position,namely an interest in
pursuing a potential sale,I would appreciate hearing as soon as possible. I plan to
contact you on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 1, to inquire whether or not any
new information is forthcoming. I plan to make this contact because I have a meeting
with the Library Construction Committee on Monday, August 6. I would like to brief
them in advance of their discussions with the Tigard City Council. In addition,I will be
meeting on August 1 with Library Director Margaret Barnes and City Engineer Gus
Duenas to discuss how we can proceed to make contact with Fred Fields, owner of the
remaining representative site to determine if an option may be arranged. When I
contact you on the first,I would be interested in receiving your input as to how we
should approach the next discussion with Mr.Fields and the points to be suggested as
conditions of an option.
I look forward to talking with you next week.

Fred Fields regardin ao option to purchase his property. The following are some of the issues that
need to be addressed in the discussions with Mr. Fields:
• Price
• Price for option
• Purchase Price
• Payment schedule
• Definition of City purchase versus what area Metro is interested in for greenspaces
• What process needs to continue forward for Mr. Fields to be receptive to the purchase
• Continue to pursue the approval for the extension of Wall Street(removal of spur track, two
railroad crossings,plus crossing of the wetlands to connect to Hall Boulevard).
• What obligations would we have as we move forward in this regard?
• Zone Change or t,anguage Change—The property is now zoned R12. We would need to either
change the zoning or amend the language to include cultural or civic facilities in an R12 zone. We
need to make sure Mr. Fields does not oppose either approach during the option period.
• Signs identifying the site as potential future home of the new library. We need to get his approval
to place these signs.
• Phase 1 Environmental Study with other phases to follow if needed.
• Period of the Option
• Execute option by September 2001
• Purchase by July 1, 2002 at the earliest, or at the latest by December 31, 2002 (dependent upon
passage of the proposed bond issue).
• Disposition of the current tenants in the existing houses. We would prefer to buy a property with
vacant buildings. We could then at our option rent them out until the project begins in earnest.
Attached as requested is information on the property that was available to the Library Construction
Committee during the site selection process. The information is based on the Tax Assessor's data and
merely provides a starting point for negotiations. We would obviously need to obtain an appraisal on
the property for more accurate and up-to-date information.
There are probably some other issues that need to be brought up in the discussions with Mr. Fields. If
you can think of any,please add them to the list. You probably need to be aware of what actions we
have taken to date in pursuing the proposed extension of Wall Street. I'll discuss that with you at a
mutually convenient time.
As we discussed,Mr. William Eadie of Metro is interested in working with us on this matter. Metro is
interested in purchasing greenspaces in that area. He has volunteered to negotiate with Mr. Fields on
our behalf. I am providing him a copy of this memo and the information I am providing to you.
If you have any questions on this matter,please call me.
