June 1,2023 Emily Stuart Consider a fireworks ban due to early drought conditions and strained emergency resources.An outright ban would be easier to understand and enforce than the city's current policy. 2. June 12,2023 Michael Brewin Is the city celebrating Flag Day,June 14th? Leaving the Pride flag up longer than 1-2 days seems excessive. Vietnamese flag—was there a consensus from among Vietnamese Americans who actually live in Tigard? Don't play favorites with ethnic groups;have one Multi-cultural festival for all,or none at all. Food carts at Universal Plaza need meatless options. The city ignored Earth Day on April 22. City did not identify the source of publicized threats to Library event. 3. June 12,2023 Steve DeAngelo For Agenda Item No. 6 Public Hearin;—Concerns that fee structure had no work session that included organizations such as Tigard Downtown Alliance (TDA).Pause accepting downtown event fee structure until data has been collected and received before making these types of impactful decisions.

Name Emily Stuart Email Complete Address Which agenda item or topic are you commenting on?(Comments are due by Monday at noon) Fireworks restrictions Comments Hello Mayor and Council,As we're coming up fast on summer,I wanted to comment on the city's fireworks policy.As I'm sure you know,we've just finished one of the warmest and driest Mays on record.Weather models suggest more warm,dry weather will continue,and brush fires have already occurred around the metro area.I'm not familiar with the status of TVF&R,but I've heard other emergency services in the area are struggling with long response times.In my mind,early drought conditions and strained emergency resources make fireworks a really irresponsible way to celebrate.I ask you to consider banning fireworks outright-this is sensible in our current environment and should be much easier to understand and enforce than the city's current policy.Consider fireworks bans in Portland,Seattle,San Francisco,San Diego,and many other West Coast metros-fireworks just don't make sense anymore,fun or not.Thank you for your consideration!

To the new Tigard mayor and city council: Tomorrow, June 14, is officially Flag Day: Honor the American flag!! On June 14, 1777,the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, passed the Flag Act of 1777,a resolution creating an official flag for a new nation still struggling to gain its independence from Britain. It stated, in part,that America's flag"...be made of thirteen stripes,alternate red and white;that the union be thirteen stars,white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." Patriot Betsy Ross made the first official national flag,creating the actual pattern and sewing it at her home. I've been to that house and Constitution Hall,too. We should never forget the sacrifices it took to establish this most unique and blessed nation —and to preserve that nation,while expanding freedom and democracy over the course of almost 250 years (in 2026). Constitutionally,the United States'secular democratic republic has been the model and inspiration for many other nations worldwide. After reviewing the city website,I don't see any recognition whatsoever of our national flag on this Flag Day,or by any Tigard official(not even a mention). Especially for American public officials allegedly purporting to serve our community,that is absolutely disrespectful to the democratic republic for which it stands(and to countless citizens here). There was no posting of any commemorative flag-raising event,or with veterans present,an Honor Guard,and a bugler,too. My mom and all the male members of my family volunteered and served under that flag in WWII. My teenaged friend Dick(and 58,000 others)died defending that flag in Vietnam; his name is on the Vietnam Memorial Wall. My friends Brian and Dean were drafted,and they came home from Vietnam traumatized (PTSD),and Brian later developed cancer from repeated exposure to Agent Orange. My nephew(Jeff)volunteered for military service after Saudi Arabian Muslim terrorists attacked New York and murdered thousands of civilians on September 11th; he served three tours of duty (Afghanistan, Iraq,and on aircraft carriers). I've been to the D-Day cemetery in Normandy, France and the vast Arlington National Cemetery,Virginia. Perhaps if you,too,visited those cemeteries and saw the tens of thousands of graves(of mostly young men),you might finally develop some appreciation and respect for the symbol of our nation and its meaning. I've seen those fortified Normandy beaches and sheer cliffs where thousands sacrificed their lives—to free Europe from the Nazis and the genocide committed. Accordingly, please don't acknowledge any other flag(for any reason or purpose), until you have first pledged allegiance to the US flag— and acknowledge US Flag Day on the city website homepage tomorrow(June 14)! Our national flag should always fly higher than any other flag at any public facility,and the US flag should never be replaced by any other flag on our city flagpoles. That would be a disgraceful abomination—and an insult to the overall community. Tomorrow,June 14th,either show some proper respect and honor our national flag and what it represents, or please resign from public office forever. When it comes to flags,your council priorities are patently"ass backwards." Got it?! I've lived in Tigard since the 1980s. How about all of you? Flag#2 I read with interest about the city council's ceremonial raising of a gay pride flag over our public library to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots and recognize about 1-2%of our local community residents. I think raising the rainbow flag on a short flagpole for one day(June 28th,Stonewall)is appropriate. Given the fact that the rainbow flag only represents a tiny percentage of Tigard residents (and it is neither our national flag nor our state flag), leaving a rainbow flag up longer than 1-2 days seems excessive (and politically motivated). Incidentally,the so-called pride flag was actually hijacked in the late 1970s from the Guru Maharaji spiritual movement's national chain of Rainbow Grocery stores (in particular,the San Francisco store near the Mission district). The vegetarian grocery store had a big rainbow logo and sign, and rainbow flags(1975). Some of the store employees were gay,too, but that had nothing to do with the logo or flag. The rainbow was the universal umbrella symbol we used for everyone(all races, creeds,etc. —all of humanity). It was disappointing to see our spiritual organization's symbol (the rainbow)and the store flag imitated, hijacked, and the meaning completely altered by divisive local political activists in 1978. Flag#3 The agenda for the June 13th hearing mentions recognizing a Vietnamese American Heritage and Freedom Flag. Speaking as a multicultural historian here,that flag has different connotations for Americans of Vietnamese descent. That flag was the flag used by the corrupt elitist regimes that replaced the French colonialists. It was also that flag that millions of South Vietnamese soldiers served under,and over 200,000 young South Vietnamese men were killed fighting the communist insurgents. That flag is also sometimes displayed at Vietnamese American cultural events. Anyway, I think it would therefore be prudent and appropriate to hear from some other parties who reside here,too, in addition to the person (or the organization) requesting this special status. Is there a genuine consensus among Vietnamese Americans who actually live in Tigard? The city should exercise caution about giving any official status to other countries'flags(or to special interest groups). What is the true motive and purpose? Divide everybody up into self-interest groups? That's the exact opposite of"E Pluribus Unum," Latin for"Out of many,One." In that case, in the interest of fairness and inclusiveness,you'll need to approve the British, Irish,Scottish,Welsh flags(approx. 25%of Tigard's population are descended from immigrants from the British Isles),the German,Austrian,and Swiss flags(approx. 20%are descended from German-speaking immigrants), and the Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic,and Finnish flags (approx. 13%are descended from Scandinavian immigrants). Those are the three top ethnic groups in Tigard, numerically. Hispanic is#4(11%)and Asian-PI is#5 (8%). Where's the"British Isles Festival,"or Tigard's month-long Oktoberfest?!! No,there should only be one multicultural festival (that is all-inclusive),or none at all. I used to professionally direct and produce literally hundreds of multicultural events and concerts at Portland State University,as well as major music festivals regionally,and the July 4th Celebration at Waterfront Park, Portland, etc. Public policy:Don't play favorites (give special treatment)with any ethnic groups,while ignoring the largest ethnic groups(British Isles,German,Scandinavian), historically the groups who essentially settled and founded Tigard. The Hispanic population percentage was 3% in the 1990s here (same as Asian, 3%), and contrary to what some city conmmunications employee mis-stated (in Tigard Life),the city of Tigard doesn't have a Latino(Hispanic) "heritage"; in fact,that is a very recent phenomenom(the last 25 years). We're not California,and no part of Oregon was ever settled by Spain or Mexico. And up until the late 1990s,we only had two Mexican restaurants (Taco Bell,and Casa Lupita) in Tigard. Stop the spreading of false narratives at city hall. Also,about 20-25%of Tigard households have some vegetarians/vegans. Inclusiveness? What about those food carts at Universal Plaza? I was a design advisor for the park, and there was no public iniut on the selection of the cuisine for the two food carts--barbecued pigs and cows,and using lard. Practicing Hindus don't eat cows (or any other animals), Jews and Muslims don't eat pigs,and the stench and smoke from such slaughtered animals is also offensive to thousands of Tigard vegetarians,too. Foodwise, we were totally excluded by the city staff, who selfishly served their own carnivorous dietary desires in the awarding and selection of cuisine. Discrimination, Exclusion, and 2 Inequity! Where are the vegetarian entrees(no meat, no fish, no eggs)and vegan(+ no dairy products)?! Nutrition and medical experts will tell you that vegetarian,vegan, and Mediterranean diets are the healthiest. If the city is handing our free food businesses,shouldn't healthy diets be considered--as well as global ecological factors?! You dedicated Universal Plaza on April 15 (terrible, amateurish scheduling--an outdoor event in mid-April!) Luckily,it was the only day it didn't rain. You claim to be pro-environment. Well,you(City of Tigard)totally ignored "Earth Day," which was the following SaturdayjApril 22). I know, because more than 50 years ago, I helped organize and jump-start the first Earth Day. And the raising of livestock(and destruction of rainforests by ranchers)-for meat-eating-is one of the main sources of human-created global warming, deforestation,and fossil fuel emissions (I'll send you an excerpt with graphs and charts from my recent research essay published by Wesleyan University). Talk is cheap! In politics, many talk"the talk," but few walk"the walk." I lead,by example. I've been a dedicated 100%vegetarian (and then vegan)for 50+years. If you care about this planet,stop approving livestock in the city, and start promoting vegetarian diets. You could begin with "Meatless Mondays"at City Hall. Sincerely, Michael Brewin,Tigard P.S.The mayor and City of Tigard neglected to inform the public that the recent publicized threats to public safety (r.e.library)were not from any concerned parents,but from Antifa (instigated by Portland rioter Beck)--the very same outsiders who came into our community,then rioted and vandaized City Hall and businesses on Main St. The way you described the threats(in public statements),the way you expressed it made it sound as if some conservative moms with little kids were the ones making threats (or sympathizers). That's a rotten thing to do---deliberately push a false narrative. No, it's the same scumbags who trashed my friend's business downtown. And the Tigard PD should investigate Beck;she apparently violated her two years' probation;she(and others) incited outside radical violent extremists on the internet to come into Tigard and create havoc at our library. Beck should be prosecuted;domestic terrorism.) There was stuff posted all over the internet last week. 3 Carol Krager From: City of Tigard,OR <webteam@tigard-or.gov> Sent: Monday,June 12,2023 11:56 AM To: Carol Krager;Jesse Raymundo;Webteam Subject: *NEW SUBMISSION* Public Meeting Comment Form Public Meeting Comment Form Submission#: 2498335 IP Address: 67.160.179.109 Submission Date: 06/12/2023 11:56 Survey Time: 22 minutes,25 seconds You have a new online form submission.

Name Steve DeAngelo Email Complete Address 9037 SW Burnham Street Tigard,Or 97223 Which agenda item or topic are you commenting on?(Comments are due by Monday at noon) PUBLIC HEARING:ADOPT 2024 FEES AND CHARGES SCHEDULE As a founding member of the Tigard Downtown Alliance who produces at least 5 major Community Events annually including Art weekend,Street Fair,Trick or treat main street and the annual tree lighting ceremony(with the hope to add more community focused events in the future). Comments I am deeply concerned that this important part of fee structure has had no work session to include input from organizations like the TDA.The impact on fees imposed on major events we produce for the community at large could make some financially unstable or challenging to produce. In the short time I had the opportunity to review here are just a few concerns:There does not seem to be a mechanism in place to allow organizations like the TDA to Program important downtown spaces(Namely Universal Plaza and Rotary Plaza.I personally sat in all planning sessions and attended all meetings on behalf of the TDA and was repeated told by staff the importance of our organization how important programming would be to assure the sucess of these spaces. I would also add council to direct staff to create an internal mechanism to waive permit fees for Partner organizations such as the TDA as we have been awarded in the past. If the city's intent is to create public/private partnerships there needs to be clear and concise information delivery and sharing to assure we have decision making in the interest of your stakeholders.Although I am not able to attend in person tonight, I'd ask council to pause accepting the fee structure of DT events until the data has been collected and received before making these types of impactful decisions.I am certain there is more to this than the allowed time I have had to review. thank you in advance for your consideration.City staff has had opportunity to communicate this information and has failed to do so.
