Please let staffknow if there is an item that should be pulled for separate discussion/consideration. • Consider Contract Award for Pavement Management Program— Slurry Seal The annual Pavement Management Program (PMP) protects the city's investment in street infrastructure. The program typically includes a combination of minor maintenance projects (slurry seal applications) and major maintenance and rehabilitation projects (pavement overlays). In a preventative maintenance,or slurry seal,project, a coating of oil mixed with sand is applied to the surface of the street as cost-effective means of pavement preservation. Slurry seals typically add 5 to 10 years of pavement life for a street. Work under a slurry seal project includes: • Application of slurry seal on residential streets • Application of pavement striping and markings on residential streets • Temporary signage,protection, and traffic control • Installation of crack seal on cit`streets • Performance of additional and incidental work as called for by the specifications and plans. The city issued an Invitation to Bid for city's 2019 slurry seal project in late March and published notices in the Daily journal of Commerce and in The Business Journal. At closing on April 16th,the city received bids from three vendors: • Blackline, Inc. - $1,076,935 • VSS International, Inc. - $1,269,727 • Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. - $1,525,000 • Engineers Estimate-.9'1,132,103 Staff has reviewed the bids and determined that Blackline, Inc. has submitted the lowest responsible bid. Blackline, Inc. has no Oregon Contractor Construction Board violations that would preclude them from being awarded the bid and they are not on the Bureau of Labor and Industries ineligible list for Prevailing Wage Rate projects. As such, staff recommends an award for the city's PMP slurry seal contract to Blackline Inc. in the amount of$1,076,935.This amount is within the FY 2020 proposed budget for total PMP work for the year.The purchase of insurance is a significant annual cost to the city. The city's Property&Casualty Insurance is over$500,000 annually and Workers Compensation is $300,000 annually. Expert advice is critical to making the best choices for the city.The city issued a Request for Proposals for the proposed services in December of last year with proposal due in early January. The city received two proposals upon closing: TIGARD CITY COUNCIL CONSENT AGENDA-May 7,2019 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page I oft Construction Project Update —April 24, 2019 Item# Newsletter: Tigard High School Contractor working on installation of domestic water line on 92"d Ave. to serve new buildings on campus.

This project completed a missing link of the Fanno Creek Greenway Trail,provided an ADA accessible route where it did not exist before,increased trail safety by lining the trail up with a safe crosswalk, and provided a very clear definition of the regional trail route at Tiedeman Avenue. Most of the project was paid for with a generous $800,000 grant from Metro. Upcoming projects in this location include safety changes at the crosswalk, adding refuge islands and more visible lighting. As soon as a long enough stretch of rain free weather happens,a new mural v.-ill also be painted on the retaining wall and bridge foundation to add character to the trail and to help discourage graffiti.

Detectives are currently investigating this case. On Wednesday,April 24,2019 at 2:40am,police received a call from a woman reporting that a male and female suspect were following her vehicle and shooting at her and the other occupant as they were travelling near S%'Nimbus and Scholls Ferry. The suspects had engaged in a verbal altercation with them at Lu's Sports Bar and Lounge in Tigard prior to the shooting. Fortunately,a Tigard patrol officer was driving behind the vehicle at the time of the call and obsen-ed the female suspect holding a shotgun out of a Ford Escape.After the officer activated lights and sirens,both suspects exited the vehicle and fled around the 10500 SV'Nimbus Avenue area. The female suspect was located and taken into custody. The male suspect, fled to Fanno Creek.The Washington County Sheriff's Office and Beaverton Police Department set up dog tracks in the area.After being submerged in the creek for over two hours, the male suspect surrendered to law enforcement without incident near the 10400 block of SW North Dakota and was transported to a local hospital. Later,he was taken into custody. The female victim sustained a non-critical injury from a gunshot. Fortunately,the male victim was unharmed. We want to thank Beaverton,Tualatin,and Hillsboro Police Departments,and Washington County Sheriff for their assistance with this case.

Oak That's when from 5 to 9 p.m., the Beach Hut Deli, 12436 S.W. Main St., will donate 20% of its proceeds from sales and give 100% of all its backyard beers sales to benefit Tigard's Chelsea's Closet,which transforms the lives of children and families facing illness by including therapeutic dress-up costumes and play while they are going through a hospital experience. The event will also feature raffle prizes (tickets for purchase) including a weekend trip to Palm Springs, bespoke eyewear designed by downtown business and Leadership Tigard participant EDA Frames, restaurant gift cards and more. "After learning about the work Chelsea's Closet was doing and hearing Allison's story about her own daughter's illness,"said Kris Barrett, Fairway Independent Mortgage Loan Officer and 2019 Leadership Tigard class member, "it became clear that this was a cause we wanted to support." After spending volunteer hours at the costume storage warehouse at Chelsea's Closet, this year's class decided to host a fundraiser in order to fund a needed computerized barcode inventory system, which makes it easier for staff and volunteers to find specific costumes and accessories requested by hospitalized children. Leadership Tigard is made up of local entrepreneurs, downtown business owners, government employees and residents with a focus on creating and inspiring leaders in the community. "It was important to our Leadership Tigard Class that we not just volunteer for a day, but that we were able to make a lasting impact on this organization,"said Taylor Sarman, chief of staff for State Rep.

Sports bar beef ends with woman firing shotgun at rival couple from moving car, cops say osted A r 1".4., 4:22 lyl Cristy Anna Sisco and Carlos Alberto Quebrado. By Shane Dixon Kavanaugh I The Oregonian/Oregon Live Police in Tigard arrested a pair of suspects Wednesday after they say a dustup at a local bar spiraled into a wild shooting and car pursuit that a patrol officer witnessed firsthand. The brouhaha began at Lu's Sports Bar&Lounge after an argument erupted between two couples at the Southwest Pacific Highway watering hole, said Stefanie Kouremetis, a Tigard police spokeswoman. One of the couples called it a night and split. Instead of leaving the beef at the bar,the other couple, identified as Cristy Anna Sisco, 34, and Carlos Alberto Quebrado, 35, decided to hop into a gold Ford Escape and take off after their newfound foes,according to police. The feud escalated when police say Sisco, riding in the passenger seat,whipped out a Dickinson 12-guage shotgun and opened fire on the first couple's car, Kouremetis said. One of the rounds struck a woman in the car,who suffered a non-critical injury,police said. The wounded woman called police around 2:40 a.m.to report she and the man she was driving with were being shot at from a vehicle trailing them near Southwest Nimbus Avenue and Scholls Ferry Road, Kouremetis said. During the call,a Tigard patrol officer happened to see Sisco holding the shotgun out of the Ford Escape, police said.The officer hit his lights and siren,prompting Quebrado and Sisco to jump out of their car and flee. Police quickly arrested Sisco.Quebrado managed to spend more than two hours hiding out in Fanno Creek before he was taken into custody later, according Kouremetis. Authorities booked the couple in the Washington County Jail, records show. Sisco faces an attempted murder charge. Quebrado was lodged on a felony warrant out of Marion County. Tigard police arrest pair after shots fired from a vehicle Times staff Wednesday, April 24, 2019 The incident happened early Wednesday morning when a woman received minor injuries after being shot while driving. Tigard police arrested Cristy Anna Sisco, a 34-year-old from Wilsonville, on an assault charge related to a shooting. They also arrested Carlos Alberto Quebrado, 35, on an unrelated felony warrant. Detectives are currently investigating this case. On Wednesday, police received a call from a woman at 2:40 a.m. reporting that a man and a woman were following her vehicle and shooting at her and the other occupant as they were driving near Nimbus Avenue and Scholls Ferry Road. The suspects had engaged in a verbal altercation with them at Lu's Sports Bar and Lounge in Tigard prior to the shooting. Fortunately, a Tigard patrol officer was driving behind the vehicle at the time of the call and observed the female suspect holding a shotgun out of a Ford Escape. After the officer activated lights and sirens, both suspects exited the vehicle and fled to an area around 10500 Nimbus Avenue. Sisco, the female suspect, was located and taken into custody. Quebrado, the male suspect, fled to Fanno Creek where Washington County Sheriffs Office and Beaverton Police Department set up dog tracks in the area. After two and half hours of being submerged in the creek, the male suspect surrendered to law enforcement without incident near the 10400 block of SW North Dakota and was transported to a local hospital. Later, he was taken into custody. The female victim sustained a non-critical gunshot wound. Quebrado was unharmed. Tigard police thanked the Beaverton, Tualatin, and Hillsboro Police Departments, and Washington County Sheriffs Department for their assistance with this case.

In their second try, House lawmakers approve ban on styrofoam takeout containers By Chris Lehman I The Oregonian/Oregon Live Jp"MILcd A-pr 23, 41•:2.6 I'M; Fysreri Apr 23, :1/::30 PM Polystyrene foam takeout boxes like this one would be banned under House Bill 2883. (AP Photo/Audrey McAvoy) SALEM - One day after a proposed ban on styrofoam fell just short, the Oregon House reversed course and narrowly voted on Tuesday 1 to ban polystyrene takeout containers. House Bill 2883 would ban restaurants from using the packaging material, often referred to as styrofoam. The restriction would apply to restaurants and food carts, as well as to prepared food sold in supermarkets. On Monday, the bill came up one vote short when seven Democrats crossed the aisle in a bipartisan show of opposition. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Sheri Schouten, D-Beaverton, used a procedural move to keep it alive for possible reconsideration on Tuesday. One Democrat who was absent on Monday, Rep. Rachel Prusak of West Linn, returned to the Capitol on Tuesday. Since Prusak supported the bill, that gave it enough votes to pass on the second try. Another Democrat, Rep. Brad Witt of Clatskanie,had an apparent change of heart and switched from voting no on Monday to yes on Tuesday. Republicans remained united in their opposition to the bill on Tuesday. House Bill 2883 now heads to the Oregon Senate. If signed into law, Oregon would have the first statewide ban on polystyrene takeout containers. Many cities and counties across the country ban them, including Portland. i On Earth Day, Oregon House Shoots Down Proposed Plastic Foam Ban by Dirk VanderMart Follow OPB April 22, 2019 2:15 p.m. I Updated:April 23, 2019 7:18 a.m. I Salem, Ore. On Earth Day,Oregon's House of Representatives took up a bill that would have banned the use of food containers made from plastic foam,commonly known as Styrofoam. But what might have been a symbolic vote wound up taking on a different meaning than many legislators hoped. House Bill 2883 failed,in an extremely tight vote that saw one veteran Democrat change his vote at the last minute.The bill was immediately pulled back for potential reconsideration another day. .State Rep.Jeff Barker,D-Aloha,in the Oregon rt House of Representatives,Salem,Ore_,Monday, Jan.14,2019. Bradley W.Parks;OPB Under HB 2883,businesses around Oregon _ would be prohibited from serving prepared - food and beverages in polystyrene foam containers.It's a proposal that wouldn't apply to your carton of eggs,but it would apply to the egg salad sandwich your favorite deli serves in a plastic foam box. Supporters of the bill say it's yet another way to help curb plastic waste.They argue that polystyrene breaks up easily,is frequently tossed aside as litter and can find its way into the food chain.In written testimony,the Oregon League of Conservation Voters said this type of plastic waste accounts for 10 to 40 percent of litter collected during stream cleanups. "Every day,Oregonians throw away literally tons of plastic in the form of single-use cups plates,utensil and containers,"said state Rep.Sheri Schouten,D-Beaverton,who introduced the bill on the House floor."Among the worst forms of plastic pollution is polystyrene foam." But while many of her fellow Democrats agreed with Schouten's logic,it quickly became clear there was bipartisan opposition to the bill. Rep.Margaret Doherty,D-Tigard,opposed the bill because a facility in her district,Agilyx,is able to recycle plastic foam for future uses. "A pollutant that can't be recycled should be banned,but that is not the case with polystyrene,"said Doherty."Being Earth Day, it should be a time that we celebrate recycling and renewing and reusing." Other representatives argued that ensuring more of the state's polystyrene waste flows to the Tigard facility was a better idea than banning it. "Here we have a recycling industry in this state that has moved forward,on their own dime,to provide a service and a need for our environment and this Legislature could take it away,"said Rep.David Brock Smith,R-Port Orford. Rep.Janelle Bynum,D-Clackamas,who runs several McDonald's restaurants,said Oregon is already making life too difficult for restaurant owners.She urged a"no"vote.She and others spoke of potential cost increases to businesses because of the proposal. Supporters of the bill pointed out that other forms of polystyrene—not to mention waste from other states—could still be recycled in Tigard.And they said reducing plastic food containers would be more useful than recycling them. Republicans,apparently sensing weakness,called a huddle just before the chamber voted on the measure.But when the votes rolled in,it appeared that HB 2883 had passed with the required 31 votes. That changed when Rep.Jeff Barker,D-Aloha,who'd been talking with Republicans at the rear of the chamber,changed his vote to a"no." "I was concerned about the business in Tigard that's trying to recycle that,and I wanted to support them,"Barker said after the vote. Barker said he'd always intended to vote against the ban and that the early tally showing him in support was a"mix up." Immediately after the bill failed,legislators pulled it back,leaving the possibility it could be called up later.The House was missing one Republican and one Democrat on Monday,which could rejigger the calculus. "It's rare that a bill fails on the floor,"Barker said."When it does that's always a motion that's made,but it's very rare that that comes back." Polystyrene bans are already in place or being considered in some Oregon cities,including Portland,Eugene and Ashland.Such policies are gaining popularity nationwide as well,with around a dozen states and Washington,D.C.,reportedly having some local bans in place.Maryland's Legislature has passed a statewide ban on plastic foam packaging for food service businesses. In Oregon,the polystyrene bill was one of several being proposed this year to eliminate single-use plastic items.Bills to cut down on the use of plastic straws and ban single-use plastic grocery bags are still under consideration.The latter proposal was scheduled for a hearing in committee Monday afternoon. Washington County officials share the stage in Beaverton Peter Wong Sunday, April 21, 2019 Five commissioners and five other elected officials speak at a state of the county event open to the public; 250 attend new format at Conestoga Recreation and Aquatic Center PMG PHOTO BY PETER WONG-Board Chairwoman Kathryn Harrington,center,speaks during a program featuring all Washington County governemt elected officials From left:Commissioners Dick +M!F Schouten, Pam Treece, Roy Rogers and Jerry Willey, District Attorney Kevin Barton,Sheriff Pat Garrett and Auditor John Hutzler are on the k � other side The program was April 17 at Conestoga Recreation and Aquatic Center in Beaverton. 4 Washington County tried something new last week to inform the public about what county government does. New Board Chairwoman Kathryn Harrington invited not only ` her four colleagues to share the stage, but also five other officials elected countywide—including one paid by the ; w state—to talk about what they do. About 250 people heard the 10 officials speak for more than an hour April 17 at Conestoga Recreation and Aquatic Center in Beaverton. In recent years, then-Chairman Andy Duyck offered his state of the county remarks at a breakfast forum of the Westside Economic Alliance, and also at smaller events such as the Washington County Public Affairs Forum. The larger forum often employed a video with comments from the other four commissioners, who usually attended, but none spoke on stage. As Harrington campaigned for and won Duyck's open seat last year, she said she found many voters lacked a clear idea of what county government does, even though it employs 2,000 people and has an annual budget topping $1 billion. 'We decided that this was a good new year to try something new,"she told the audience. "A key initiative for me for Washington County as your chair is transparency and public engagement. To me, good government means accessible government. "We cannot do that if we do not see you or hear from you." Harrington said she and the county's communications team came up with a different format, modeled partly on what Clackamas County has done in recent years with all five commissioners speaking, not just the board chairman. But she took it a step further. "This was an opportunity not only for me to share my vision with the people I serve, but for the whole spectrum of elected officials who help govern this county. I felt it was important to give it a try,"she told the audience. She said afterward that not only did her board colleagues say yes, so did Auditor John Hutzler, District Attorney Kevin Barton, Sheriff Pat Garrett and two judges, Charles Bailey of Circuit Court and Dan Cross of Justice Court. "I thought: Why not?We'll give it a whirl. And it worked." Circuit Court judges and staff are paid by the state, which assumed operation of trial courts in 1983, although counties still furnish the buildings and provide security. Most officials limited themselves to five minutes each, excluding Harrington's opening and closing remarks. During her campaign, Harrington also mentioned the possibility of rotating some of the board's Tuesday business meetings to communities other than the county seat of Hillsboro. So far, though, the only change has been in the length of work sessions—when business cannot be transacted—preceding the business meetings. Both types are open to the public, but public comment is limited to business meetings. Here's a recap of what the five commissioners had to say about key topics. Highlights by other elected officials will be offered next week. PMG PHOTO BY PETER WONG-Board Chairwoman Kathryn Harrington speaks at a state of Washington County program April 17 at Conestoga Recreation and Aquatic Center in Beaverton At right are lDistrict Attorney Kevin Barton and Sheriff Pat Garrett. Chairwoman Harrington restated her campaign I pledge for county government to reach out to minorities and others who have been underserved, but did not offer specifics. She noted that the county's population— ranked second only to Multnomah County—is the most diverse of Oregon's urban counties with growing Latino and Asian populations. "Our diversity is a strength and a cause for celebration," she said. "We must continue to evolve our service delivery for everyone who makes up our community.We have a responsibility to build up a more inclusive and equitable access and outcomes for those who have been historically underserved and underrepresented." Commissioner Dick Schouten said the housing shortage has eased slightly since 2014, when an estimated 75,000 people were paying more than 30% of their incomes on housing costs. That mark is set by the federal government as "affordable." Now, he said, its down to 70,000, still about the combined populations of Tigard and Sherwood. "We think a job-rich economy and a slightly cooling housing market have helped that," said Schouten, who has been on the board since 2001. The area median income for a family of four in the county was $74,600, according to the American Community Surrey of the U.S. Census. Voter approval of a $653 million regional bond will help Washington County build 1,300 more housing units for low- income households, although Beaverton and Hillsboro—which will get separate shares—account for about 500 of that total. "The bottom line is that we are making some progress when it comes to affordable housing in our community," Schouten said. "But much more work needs to be done." As for homelessness, Schouten said while overall totals since 2013 have dipped, chronic homelessness persists and requires services such as addiction treatment and mental health counseling to be linked with housing. "I am confident ... we can make significant progress in the next couple of years." Commissioner Roy Rogers represents the county on two key boards: Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation for Metro, the regional planning agency, and the regional Area Commission for the Oregon Department of Transportation. In addition, Washington County has a transportation development tax, a Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program funded by a share of property taxes originally approved by voters decades ago, and a county vehicle registration fee that is collected with the state fee every other year. "We finally had funds to do something,"said Rogers, who has been on the county board since 1985. "It's all based on partnerships and relationships within the region, and patience and persistence." Rogers said more needs to be done—balanced among public transportation, sidewalks and bike lanes, and street and highway improvements—and offered a long wish list of specific projects.Among them are the Southwest Corridor light rail extension from Portland to Bridgeport Village in Tualatin, additions to Highway 217—a state project that is set to get underway in 2020—and a new northern corridor to bypass central Portland and divert traffic from the Sunset Highway to the Port of Portland and beyond. 'We have a full plate," he said. "But I think we can do it if we put some muscle behind it." Commissioner Pam Treece,who took office in January, said her four top priorities are housing, transportation, public health and the environment, and diversity, equity and inclusion. During her remarks she focused on two ongoing efforts. About 20 agencies are involved in the Tualatin Watershed Enhancement Collaborative to deal with flooding and improve watersheds in Cedar Mill and North Johnson creeks, which cover unincorporated areas in her district north of Beaverton. She said: "As community members, what we can expect to see is a three-year work plan coming from this collaborative that will help guide us in making policy, creating projects to help us with resiliency against flooding, and addressing environmental improvement and support for financial security within the watershed." As part of a regional push to reduce suicides, Treece said, the county is building on award-winning work by county epidemiologist Kimberly Repp to develop indicators, such as at-risk people surrendering their healthy pets without explanation to animal shelter workers. "This intervention step has reduced suicides and has been identified as a nationwide model,"she said. Commissioner Jerry Willey, who also took office in January, said this year is critical for two ongoing projects. One is a study of alternatives for Scoggins Dam, which the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has identified at serious risk if there is a major earthquake. The alternatives boil down to enhancing the current earthfill dam or building a new roller-compacted concrete dam downstream with additional storage capacity for Hagg Lake. The county board is involved because it governs Clean Water Services, the sewage and stormwater treatment agency for the county's urban areas, which seeks additional water for the Tualatin River. "This dam needs a little help,"Willey said. "This is a huge project that requires collaboration from our federal partners, our regional partners and Clean Water Services. You are going to have to stay tuned to see what the preferred alternative is for options." That alternative is scheduled to be identified by the end of this year. Work has already begun on the Event Center at the Washington County Fair Complex in Hillsboro. (Willey was Hillsboro mayor from 2009 to 2017.)When completed in 2020, the center will offer the largest public space in Washington County for exhibits, trade shows and other activities in addition to the annual fair.
