City Manager Report

Acting City Manager Tritsch shared that the Police Community Academy started last Thursday. The first evening included time with Chief McDonald, a tour of the department, and a look behind the scenes of operations. This is a popular annual program, and anyone who lives or works in Tigard is welcome to join the 2027 waitlist.

 

Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing: Consider Approval of Hall Boulevard Pedestrian Crossing Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and Sensitive Lands Review              

A quasi-judicial public hearing was held to consider adoption of an ordinance that would allow improvement of a pedestrian crossing on Hall Boulevard. The ordinance was approved unanimously, and the project will include replacing non-compliant lighting equipment, replacing the curb ramps, and adding signage. Construction is expected to be completed between the summer of 2026 and January 2027, without the need for road closures or detours.

 

Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing: Consider Approval of Steve St Park Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment

A quasi-judicial public hearing was held to consider adoption of an ordinance that would allow adding a pathway to connect Steve St to the new Steve St Park. The ordinance was approved unanimously. The new park will serve a neighborhood of over 600 Tigard community members who are currently not able to access a park or natural area within a 10-minute walk. This walkway will provide an ADA-accessible path for pedestrian and bicycle access to the new park.

 

Economic Development Strategic Plan Update

Economic Development Manager Hauther and ECONorthwest Project Director Craigie provided an update on the recent strategic planning workshop and asked for feedback on the Economic Development Three-Year Strategic Plan draft. Council expressed support for the plan and provided suggestions including adding performance metrics, clarifying Council’s role in city partnerships, and improving communication with businesses about city programs and opportunities.

 

Street Maintenance Fee (SMF) Discussion

Project Manager George and Kittelson Consultants provided an overview of the street maintenance fee and options for changing the fee calculation method. The SMF dollars are used by our Pavement Maintenance Program (PMP) to rehab and perform preventative maintenance on city roadways. Continuous maintenance of our roadways has kept Tigard’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) at “very good” status which is better than 88% of peer cities. The SMF is outdated because it is currently based on number of parking spaces, and there is a disconnect between the current fee and the impact by vehicle trips on our roadways. Changing the SMF to be based on trip generation would provide a closer representation of use/damage to roadways by trip generators. Council expressed interest in transitioning to the new SMF rates carefully to avoid drastic fee changes, requested refinement of the example business buckets for rates, and proposed revisiting this policy on a reoccurring basis.
