the motion. Second, he acknowledged the feedback received regarding public comment at the May 4, 2026
meeting,with some people appreciating the effort to keep the meeting on schedule and others would have
preferred more time for testimony. He believes it is important to respect everybody's time and maintain a
predictable schedule,while still preserving meaningful opportunity for public input.With this in mind, we scheduled
20 minutes for public comments at this meeting, which is 10 minutes more than on May 4, 2026.
Chair Hu covered housekeeping items and outlined the evening's agenda.The goal of the meeting was to hear
more information on the FY 2026-27 proposed City of Tigard budget. Councilor Schlack conducted roll call.
2.Approve Minutes from May 4, 2026 Meeting — Yi-Kang Hu, Chair
• Ethan Postrel proposed revising the May 4, 2026 minutes to clarify a question he asked under agenda item
10 (eighth bullet point) which was intended to ask public commentors for a recommendation on what to cut
from departments other than the library, to offset the reductions proposed at the library.
• Ethan Postrel motioned to approve the summary minutes, as amended, from the May 4, 2026 Budget
Committee Meeting. Council President Wolf seconded the motion. Chair Hu conducted a roll call vote.
Motion was approved unanimously.

the majority (8)were related to the Library and 1 comment was about Police funding.

Tigard Budget Committee — Summary Minutes
o Micah Newsome shared concern that Tigard residents voted to support the levy funding at libraries in
Washington County and the proposed cuts to the library budget contradict what the voters want.
o Graham Starr asked the committee to continue looking for avenues to address the funding for the Library.
o Anna D'Hondt shared the importance of Library teen services and concerns with the Library budget cuts.
The public Library offers more than books, it also offers a safe and free place for teenagers,with access to
basic needs.
o Jenny Stoffel expressed support for the police facility bond and parks and recreation, with concern about
the Library budget cuts.
CT" Miguel Valencia expressed concern with the Library budget for the people that rely on the Library. People
voted in favor of the Library levy and services like the Social Services Coordinator are very important for the
Tigard community.
o Harriet Seminara shared that the Library is essential for people, especially teenagers, to have a safe place
and access to a number of resources.
o Owen Killingsworth expressed pride for the Tigard Library and its value for vulnerable people. He asked the
committee to find money for the Library by cutting the Police budget.
o Megan Cohen shared how hard things are for the community at this moment, compounded with cuts to
rent assistance and lack of emergency options. Our community needs the support and connection to
services that are happening through the Social Services Coordinator at the Library.
• Budget Manager Kennedy summarized the 16 written public comments that were received before the deadline at
12:00 pm on Thursday May 7, 2026.The majority(15) related to the proposed 2027 library budget cuts,while one
additional comment focused on fiscal sustainability and prioritizing core services.
• Chair Hu thanked the commentors and shared that additional comments can be submitted in writing or at future
Budget Committee meeting on May 18tn
4. May 4th, Budget Committee Follow Up Items— Eric Kang, Finance Director
• Finance Director Eric Kang shared that a Q&A document had been provided to the committee with follow-up items
and provided the following clarifications.
• The city kicked off budget development for FY 2027,the Budget Officer provided guidance to departments to
prepare 10% reduction scenarios and that Limited Duration positions would not be renewed past their expiring term
citywide.The Budget Officer evaluated the reduction scenarios to determine which would move forward into the
Proposed Budget.
• He shared a review of the role of the Budget Committee. Department Directors have discretion on how they
prioritize programming and services with their Adopted Budgets, based on available resources.The Budget
Committee approves funding levels, and those decisions do not prescribe operational changes within the
departments.
• He shared an overview of the proposed Library reductions. Compared to FY 2026, the proposed Library budget is
$1.95M less,which is approximately 20%. However, $1.53M or 78% of that reduction comes from lowering the
internal service costs, which are not cuts to library staff or materials.The internal services costs are costs that the
library pays internally for their portion of using central services like City Management, Human Resources,
Information Technology, Finance, and Facilities.
• The city's Limited Duration positions are typically grant funded, with one-time funding. It has been typical practice
that the positions discontinue when the one-time funding ends.

5.Community Development&Private Development Engineering Services Presentation of Budget-
Sambo Kirkman, Community Development Director&Joe Wisniewski, City Engineer
• Community Development(CD) Director Sambo Kirkman presented the Community Development Budget. She
highlighted that the CD Department is responsible for the planning, designing, and regulating Tigard's physical and
economic growth.
• The proposed budget includes $11.89M, of which $5.47M is from the General Fund.This does not include the TIF
(Tax Increment Financing) District portion of the budget.
• This department is reducing its impact on the General Fund by leveraging the Transient Lodging Tax(TLT)for visitor
and tourism services and utilizing the Transportation Network Companies (TNC) Fund for Transportation programs.
• Personnel Services was reduced to $3M, which is 16% lower than FY 2026. The reduction includes removing a vacant
Project Planner 1.0 FTE. If not eliminated, this 1.0 FTE, would have contributed to both the completion of the backlog
of long-range projects, land use, complex cases with River Terrace 2.0, and unfunded mandates by the state.
• Materials &Services were reduced to $1.18M, which is 25% lower than FY 2026.The reduction includes alignment
with historical spending and reductions to travel, training, and memberships.
• City Engineer Joe Wisniewski presented the Private Development Engineering Services Budget. He shared that there
are two groups that make up the Engineering Division of Public Works (1)Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Project
Delivery and (2) Private Development Engineering and Permitting.
• We are starting to see an increase in permit activity and inspections. There are many projects coming in as far as
pre-applications, land use, review and moving into what are called Public Facility Improvement (PFI).The number of
inspections compared to the permit applications don't correlate one for one, because sometimes a smaller
application is only going to have one or two inspections, where one application on a subdivision may cover dozens
or more inspections.
• We are planning for the potential of private development to slow down. If we need to find something for our private
development staff to work on, they are cross trained to work on capital improvement.
6. Discussion-Community Development & Private Development Engineering Services Presentation
of Budget-Yi-Kang Hu, Chair
• The Budget Committee members were invited to discuss the Community Development Department and Private
Development Engineering Services Budgets.
• Aaron McCool asked if 10 years between completing fee studies is standard. CD Director Kirkman answered that 10
years is not standard but looking at the backlog of projects, the study hasn't been the priority.Aaron McCool asked
if we could complete fee studies on a more regular schedule, like every 3 or 4 years, to have fees increase more
steadily and have more income from fees. CD Director Kirkman shared that we do have incremental increases on our
fees based on general cost of living increases. Part of the study will include creating a plan that is mindful of what
could be supported from our development community. Business Manager Cory Robinson added that through the
study our fees and process will be more in alignment with other local cities. CD Director Kirkman shared that the
hope is to start the process and consistently update the fees.
• Councilor Robbins commented that CD runs a tight ship and does excellent work. CD is mostly funded by funds
other than the General Fund and CD cut 1.0 FTE.
• Council President Wolf asked why one of the performance measures is to make 65% progress on the Transportation
System Plan update. CD Director Kirkman shared that the goal was to establish reasonable metrics that we can start
comparing year over year. It is not an industry standard.
• Bill Lewis asked if we have metrics to track businesses in the Economic Development pipeline. Including what stage
of development the different businesses are in, how many businesses we have talked to, and which businesses
actually begin development in Tigard and why.

CITY OF
e Tigard Budget Committee — Summary Minutes
• Councilor Shaw asked if there have been delays in receiving funding from the City of Portland for the SRTS (Safe
Routes to School)funds. CD Director Kirkman said that we have experienced some delays, but our Grant Manager
has been helpful in creating a system to better invoice the funds. She added that the Transportation Network
Company(TNC) Fund has available funds to cover the Safe Routes to School coordinator position based on minimal
expenditures from the fund. Councilor Shaw asked what the TNC dollars have been used for in the past and if we are
taking anything away from another program. CD Director Kirkman said that we used a portion of the funds for the
Power to the Pedal program and using the funds is not taking away from other programs. Principal Transportation
Planner Gehrke added that we have used these dollars as a match for the grant the covered the E-GO
Transportation project.
• Councilor Schlack mentioned the reduction of the vacant FTE delaying deliverables related to long-term projects
and unfunded mandates,and with River Terrace 2.0 coming up, he asked for more information about the tension
that exists.CD Director Kirkman said that we have to comply and the work will be absorbed by staff.We do prioritize
plans such as River Terrace 2.0 and our Tigard Home project, but if we got to a point where there was a snowball
effect with current planning,we would have to reassess what our workload looks like for the division to
accommodate the mandates.Assistant CD Director Schuyler Warren added that the regulatory requirements are
themselves displacing other long-range projects.When we pivot our focus to those mandates, it delays long-
standing projects that have been on the list.This includes things like our sensitive lands chapter update and our sign
cone update.Those are the type of projects would get further pushed back with the loss of the FTE.
• Councilor Shaw said it was her understanding with River Terrace 1.0,to alleviate some of that FTE reduction or
shortfall or not enough staff, that the developers had loaned out an individual who could help out to further fast
track some of that housing. She asked if that was the case and if that something we could investigate for River
Terrace 2.0.Assistant CD Director Warren said that if that happened, it was before his time here and he would look
into it. CD Director Kirkman expressed concerns with bringing in others to do that type of work, and if we did, we
would need to make sure the focus and charge is city related and not based on what private development
wants. Councilor Shaw agreed that we would not want the position to be biased in any way.
• Jeff Darland asked if the $2.4M for the Affordable Housing is part of an existing contract.Assistant CD Director
Warren said yes.Jeff Darland asked if we are required to follow through on that contract.Assistant CD Director
Warren said that $2.4M is the amount that's remaining in a five-year contract we have with a local nonprofit that
provides down payment assistance and permanently preserves affordable home ownership units in the city.Jeff
Darland asked where that is in the budget.Assistant CD Director Warren said that it doesn't come from the General
Fund, it comes from the Construction Excise Tax(CET) Fund.The CET is a tax on development and under state law,
this money must be used for affordable housing development and incentives.Jeff Darland asked for clarification on
the program.Assistant CD Director Warren said that through the nonprofit Community Land Trust,the city is
providing down-payment assistance to home buyers who are at or below the 80% area median income level. In
exchange for the city's investment, Community Land Trust permanently preserves that housing unit as affordable.
When it is resold, it is sold to another buyer who qualifies at 80% or below of the area median income.Jeff Darland
asked if the expectation is for a couple houses a year to use this program.Assistant CD Director Warren said that the
contract aims for three to five units per year.Jeff Darland asked if we are required to follow through on that
contract. Assistant CD Director Warren said that we would not recommend pivoting away from a program like this
midstream.There are buyers right now out shopping with these subsidy dollars. CD Director Kirkman added that the
CET funds are restricted to certain types of uses and we are following through with council goals to provide
affordable housing.

Ti ' °id Budget Committee — Summary Minutes
• Jeff Darland asked for more information about the River Terrace 2.0 planning grant of$700,000 that was received by
the city.Assistant CD Director Warren said that for River Terrace 2.0 we received $800,000 from Metro, $150,000
from the state of Oregon, $116,000 from the federal government.The project was originally $1.4M and we will
expend all of the grant dollars by the end of the project.Jeff Darland said it would be helpful to see the planning
projects in the scope of future development and what these projects might cost community members. He asked
what can be reduced and postponed.
7. Information Technology Presentation of Budget—Keri Anderson, IT Director
• Information Technology Director Keri Anderson presented the Information Technology Budget. She shared that the
IT department aims to deliver quality service, improve efficiency through technology, and remain fiscally responsible.
• She highlighted the multiple areas that the IT department has worked to consolidate and find savings for the city.
This included reduced reliance on consultants for Tyler, consolidation of copiers and printers to one vendor, and
moving from landlines to Teams phones.
• General Fund reductions in FY 2027 include the Police portion being reduced by$47,000, by eliminating three
redundant applications, due to the network upgrades. Our improved cybersecurity controls have allowed for our
cybersecurity insurance coverage to increase from $1 M to $2M, and reduced the deductible by half, while
maintaining a similar premium.The final phase of Tyler enterprising permit and licensing has eliminated
approximately $300,000 in overlapping charges of redundant and legacy applications.
8. Discussion — Information Technology Presentation of Budget—Yi-Kang Hu, Chair
• The Budget Committee members were invited to discuss the Information Technology Budget.
• Council President Wolf asked what the impact will be to the IT department with the reduction of 2.0 FTEs. IT Director
Anderson said that one of the positions is IT Project Manager/Business System Analyst and removing it doesn't have
much of an impact because it was for the Tyler implementation.The other position is an Administrative Assistant,
which is going to be very impactful for the department.
• Yousef Allouzi asked for more information about Tyler Technologies. IT Director Anderson explained that Tyler
Technologies is an enterprise tool with modules for each department that it is supporting, like Finance and
Permitting, and the modules communicate behind the scenes.Yousef Allouzi asked if each department pays
separately for Tyler. IT Director Anderson answered that IT pays for Tyler and the departments pay for their portion
through indirect charges.
• Bill Lewis asked if the 2.0 FTE being removed are vacant. IT Director Anderson said that one is vacant and one is
filled.
• Bill Lewis asked if the city has insurance against cyber security attacks. IT Director Anderson said yes,we do have
insurance for those kinds of incidents.
• Bill Lewis asked if there is an initiative in the city around using Al (artificial intelligence) to help with the personnel
reductions. IT Director Anderson said that we are prioritizing stabilizing the department and the security around
what we are doing before we venture into Al.
• Councilor Shaw asked if the 57% reduction in materials and services will impact other departments. IT Director
Anderson said that it is not impacting other departments and the majority of the reduction is infrastructure, which is
redesign of the network.
9. Central Service Departments Presentation of Budgets-Eric Kang, Finance Director&Nicole
Hendrix,Assistant to the City Manager
• Finance Director Kang and Assistant to the City Manager Nicole Hendrix presented the Central Service Department
Budgets.

CITY OF
1 ., Tigard Budget Committee — Summary Minutes
• Finance Director Kang explained that the Central Services of the city include IT, City Management, City Attorney, City
Recorder, Design &Communications, Finance, and Human Resources.At a high level, Central Services are the
behind the scenes work and that happens to support all of the community facing departments. Central Service
departments are in their own fund and those funds are recovered through cost allocations from the various
departments that they support. In total, the Central Services Department budget is $16.3M and from FY 2026,the
reduction is $1.6M or about 9%.The cost allocation plan study was completed in FY 2026 which has changed the
costs for departments citywide.
• Assistant to the City Manager Hendrix talked about the two areas in the City Management budget that have come
up in public comments. The first being that we proposed not fund four of our special events for the 2027 calendar
year.All four events have been introduced over the last five years, so they are newer and they have grown
significantly each year, particularly in staffing and contractual costs, given the planning and logistics it takes to
create and put on these events.The second is the backyard habitat program.We made the operational decision to
remove it from the budget based on the impact reports we've received from that organization who runs the
program and compared it to the cost of the program. We recognize the ecological benefits of the program and
want to continue to promote and communicate to homeowners the importance of creating healthy habitats for their
yards, but it would be at their own expense rather than funded through the city.
10. Discussion—Central Service Departments Presentation of Budget—Yi-Kang Hu, Chair
• The Budget Committee members were invited to discuss the Central Service Department Budgets.
• Council President Wolf asked which four events will not be funded.Assistant to the City Manager Hendrix said that
the four events are Pride celebration and festival,Juneteenth celebration, Fourth of July, and the El Tigre Fest.
• Council President Wolf asked what dollar amount was previously budgeted for the backyard habitat program.
Assistant to the City Manager Hendrix said that we pay $25,000 annually for the program.
• Councilor Shaw asked if Pride was a TTSD (Tigard Tualatin School District) event that the city took over.Assistant to
the City Manager Hendrix said that it was a joint effort with TTSD from the start and we continue to partner with
them on events. Finance Director Kang added that in the earlier days of event,TTDS provided more of a financial
contribution than they have recently. Some other events started as community-led events that the city took on due
to partners not wanting to continue the event.
• Ethan Postrel asked if, of the Library's $1.95M proposed cut, about $426,000 would be offset by savings from the
amount of reduced central service charged. Finance Director Kang said that the Library budget is being charged
$426,388 less due to the changes in indirect charges for departments.
• Jeff Darland asked if removing 1.0 FTE from Strategic Initiatives will impact emergency preparedness. Finance
Director Kang said that we have a separate EOC (Emergency Operations Center) program which would not fall under
or be impacted by this position.
• Councilor Schlack asked if the footnote, about the Police change being netted against new revenue that they are
expected to generate through partnerships, is referring to the Washington County District Attorney and TTSD
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) partnerships that were mentioned last week. Finance Director Kang said yes.
• Councilor Robbins said that it is a tough budget year for all departments, with many departments having FTE cuts.
She asked for a chart of FTE reductions by department.
• Chair Hu thanked his fellow councilors for making a significant cut to the Council and Mayor budget.
11. Budget Committee Discussion —Yi-Kang Hu, Chair
• Chair Hu opened discussion with a continuation of the May 4th meeting.The two outstanding topics include Library
funding and use of reserves.

Ti 'â°id Budget Committee — Summary Minutes
• Councilor Schlack I said that since we paid off the parks bond, he suggests transferring that money directly
into the Parks Utility Fund, to help triage the immediate funding gap.
• Ethan Postrel shared that he had a proposal to fund the Library. Finance Director Kang asked him to send staff the
proposal to review the feasibility and mentioned that there are multiple revenue streams and funds involved.
• Aaron McCool shared that he had a proposal to fund the Library.Chair Hu asked staff to review the proposal for
feasibility.
• Council President Wolf suggested focusing on the direct costs. She mentioned that the Police department provides
24/7 service and wonders if everyone has a full understanding of the services that they provide to our city.
• Councilor Schlack shared that he wants council to discuss Library funding and services, as an ongoing discussion.
Councilor Shaw agrees that this policy discussion needs to continue.
• Jeff Darland expressed interest in finding funding for the Library and thinks that the Police budget is fine. He asked
for CD to talk about what would happen to future planning projects, if CD cut additional FTE. Chair Hu asked staff to
review the proposal for feasibility.
• Councilor Shaw expressed concerns with cutting this way and mentioned the different funding elements that fund
different services. She would like to see us explore an IGA with Washington County for the social services provided
within the library.
• Bill Lewis asked how many of the FTE reductions are open and how many are filled positions. If the position is
vacant, he wants to know how long it has been vacant.
• Bill Lewis asked if the Police levy funds a certain headcount of FTE. He also asked if we look at reductions in Police,
how careful do we have to be to make sure not to reduce required positions to stay in compliance with the Levy
language.
• Yousef Allouzi shared support for funding the Library and making sure the most vulnerable among us don't fall
through the cracks.
• Councilor Robbins suggested being careful about the cuts we make and mentioned that CD proposed cutting 1.0
FTE in their budget already.
• Kelli Pement shared that she is proud of our community for caring about people.
• Councilor Ghoddusi asked if we can find a way to partially fund backyard habitat program.
• Jeff Darland expressed concern about city government growing faster than tax increases and the need to fix that
structural deficit. He said that the more accelerated development,the bigger that gap becomes.
• Derek Lawson asked if the projections consider market downturn and potential decline of revenue in property tax.
Finance Director Kang said that is difficult to forecast, but we do know the current assessed value and it would
require a catastrophic event to have an impact and reserves are intended to be used for unexpected events.
• Ethan Postrel asked if the Library budget was cut by$1.9M or by less than half a million. Finance Director Kang said
that every department is broken out by the same categories: personnel services, material services, capital outlay, and
interdepartmental services. Personnel services are the cost of staff. Materials are the direct materials and
professional services that the department uses. Capital outlay is any purchase of hard goods. Interdepartmental
services are the proportionate share of paying for administrative services, from central service departments, which
are not within the department's control. Budget Manager Kennedy said that in a scenario where no reductions were
made to the Library's personnel or materials, the Library department would still see the $1.5M reduction from the
change to indirect charges. Ethan Postrel asked if the loss of the Library position is within the $426,000. Finance
Director Kang Eric said yes and clarified that two of the Library vacancies proposed to be eliminated are related to
the WCCLS reduction,to centralize the collection services. Ethan Postrel asked if it is only the Social Services
Coordinator position that is discretionary. Director Kang Eric said in terms of what is not captured there, it's 1.4 FTE.
• Chair Hu asked if the current cuts to the Library budget will impact library operation open hours. Library Director
Bernard said that any further cuts to Library FTE would impact open hours.The current proposed Library budget
cuts will reduce services and impact programing, events, and social services.

Tiga°rd Budget Committee — Summary Minutes
• Councilor Schlack suggested looking at all Limited Duration positions across all departments, if we are going to try
to keep one.The FY27 priorities provided by the Budget Officer include minimizing impacts to Police services,
maintaining current service levels for existing facilities, Parks and Recreation, development and permitting, and
adjust Library services while continuing to meet community needs. If the Budget Committee has alternative priorities
Councilor Schlack requested that it be shared.
• Council President Wolf asked for options around the one-time dollars from parks bond. Councilor Shaw asked for
the same.
• Chair Hu asked for topics that were presented tonight: Are the proposed reductions acceptable? If there are any that
are unacceptable, what would you propose as a trade-off?
• Jeff Darland asked about moving the CET funds out of reserves. Finance Director Kang said that since the CET funds
do not currently have other obligations, not all funds will be spent in the following year. It would be an operations
decision when to execute on an approved budget amount and not in the Budget Committee's purview.
• Council President Wolf asked if the proposed budget has $0 for the four events.Assistant to the City Manager
Hendrix said yes. Council President Wolf said she is struggling with no events for our community.
• Councilor Shaw asked for some context on River Terrace 1.0 with external consultants/builders that may have helped
to provide an additional FTE of support for planning and development. She asked if this is something that's possible
for River Terrace 2.0 and what they would do.
12. Recess Budget Committee until Monday, May 18th at 6:00 pm — Chair
Chair Hu thanked everybody for attending this meeting.
The meeting was recessed at 8:55 pm.
