 Background
 Earlier this year, the Tigard City Council established three goals for 2005. One of these was completing and implementing the Downtown Improvement Plan. This plan has taken shape during the past year under the guidance of the Downtown Task Force, a 24-member, Council-appointed citizens group composed of residents and Downtown property and small business owners. A key concept of the plan is to create a more active downtown, one that is a desirable place to live, work, and play.

Council currently is recruiting volunteers to serve on the Urban Renewal Advisory Commission. The Advisory Commission's role will be to provide comments and suggestions on the development and implementation of an Urban Renewal Plan. According to a resolution adopted by Council, the advisory commission initially will include a membership of six Downtown Task Force members, one Planning Commissioner, one Park Board member, plus four Tigard residents and/or property owners. Applications for the resident/property owner openings may be obtained on-line on the Volunteer Opportunites page or by contacting Bob Roth, Volunteer Program Development Specialist, at 503-639-4171.

As part of its goal to complete and implement the Downtown Improvement Plan, Council identified Urban Renewal as a key tool to carry out the plan. Urban Renewal has been used to benefit some 50 local communities throughout Oregon. To assist in Tigard's Urban Renewal effort, the City has hired two consultant teams. They include Tashman Johnson, LLC and Norton-Arnold & Company. The services to be performed by Tashman Johnson include helping the City to prepare an Urban Renewal Plan for the downtown. The Urban Renewal Plan will be based on the adopted Downtown Improvement Plan and will include extensive public involvement.

The other firm hired by the City, Norton-Arnold & Company, will help select the best strategies to engage the community and to foster citizen understanding of the Urban Renewal Plan. As one of its early tasks, Norton-Arnold & Company will conduct a public opinion poll to gauge the community's level of awareness about urban renewal. You may be contacted to participate.

The project schedule includes Council review and consideration of the citizen-developed Downtown Improvement Plan in September 2005 and the consideration of an Urban Renewal Plan in December 2005. During the coming months, there will be many opportunities for citizens to be involved in this exciting project. Watch for newspaper articles, the Cityscape, and check the City of Tigard webpage.
