Water refunding bonds: Assistant Finance Director Keith McClung presented a staff report recommending that the city seek refunding of water system revenue bonds originally issued in 2015 where a 10-year call option now permits refinancing. McClung said an illustrative market rate at the time of presentation was about 4.62 percent if issued that day. Council moved and seconded consideration of Resolution 25-25, titled \"A resolution of the city of Tigard, Washington County, Oregon authorizing the sale of water system revenue refunding bonds and related matters,\" and the resolution was adopted by unanimous voice vote as read by the city recorder.

Town Center Development Agency indebtedness: Finance Director Eric King and Community Development Director Sam (Sambo) Kirkman presented a TCDA proposal to issue new debt of $5,600,000 to acquire the former Regal Cinema site. King said the increased borrowing amount (from a previously discussed $5,000,000 to $5,600,000) covers acquisition costs, borrowing costs and a small contingency. A motion to approve TCDA Resolution 25-02, \"A resolution authorizing indebtedness for capital projects described in the Tiger Triangle Urban Renewal Plan,\" was moved, seconded and adopted by unanimous vote of the TCDA board.

Council ground rules: City Attorney and city staff returned an updated ground-rules resolution that included edits the council had requested. Councilor Gaudisi moved the ground-rules resolution (listed in the transcript as resolution 205-26 with grammatical corrections); the motion was seconded and adopted by unanimous vote. The adopted changes included a correction from \"generally acceptable policies\" to \"generally applicable policies\" and minor grammatical edits discussed on the record.

The meeting record shows all three measures passed by unanimous voice vote as read into the record. The transcript does not list roll-call tallies or individual recorded votes for these items; the minutes record each measure as adopted unanimously.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - June 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council and the Town Center Development Agency adopted three resolutions: a water system revenue refunding bond authorization, a $5.6 million TCDA indebtedness resolution for the Tigard Triangle acquisition, and updated council ground rules.

Community Development Director Sam (Sambo) Kirkman reviewed the program status, May data and next steps, saying the project had been collecting occupancy and overstay information and that 85 percent occupancy is the typical threshold for recommending management. Kirkman reported an average of about 41 daily overstays in May, and that 92 percent of overstays lasted four hours or more.

Kirkman said the overstay hotspot maps show concentrated overstays near the corner of 70th (\"70 Second\" in presentation) and Dartmouth and parts of Main Street. He described a proposed timeline that would have included education and warnings from July through August and citations thereafter, but said staff sought direction from council on whether to proceed, extend data collection or explore alternatives.

Public commenters who had signed up for the meeting earlier urged caution about rigid enforcement. Megan DeSalvo, CEO of the Tigard Chamber of Commerce, asked the council to pause and collaborate with businesses on alternatives such as four-hour zones or targeted permit systems. Kyle Nepper, executive director of the Tigard Downtown Alliance, said downtown redevelopment makes future parking planning important but urged a thoughtful, transparent plan. Whitney Green Bautista and Dr. Alvin Bautista, local business owners in the Tigard Triangle, described mobility and access concerns for patients and staff who need close parking.

Council debate emphasized that the parking problem is multifaceted. Several councilors favored a broader, strategic approach that integrates parking with economic development, wayfinding and the Transportation System Plan, rather than immediate citations. Councilor Schott and others urged folding parking into the city's upcoming downtown reimagine and economic development efforts.

At the end of the discussion, staff recommended Option 3'explore alternatives to city parking enforcement and extend engagement and data collection through the summer'and the majority of council voiced support for that path. Council President Wolff and several councilors said continuing data collection through the busy summer months and bringing the issue into longer-term planning would be preferable to near-term enforcement.

Kirkman said staff would accordingly continue data collection through the summer, integrate stakeholder engagement into related planning efforts, and return with findings and proposals at a later date. The council did not adopt citations or any enforcement ordinance at the meeting.","After presenting occupancy and overstay data, staff recommended pausing enforcement and expanding engagement; council instructed staff to explore broader parking-management options and continue data collection through summer.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":44,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":50,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6709689,"Tigard council directs targeted bump to residential cart rates after hauler study",555,1890000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070795-5654c494119546d010a1250b49913615&start=1335&end=1890","/articles/6709689/Tigard/Washington-County/Oregon/Tigard-council-directs-targeted-bump-to-residential-cart-rates-after-hauler-study","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6709689-adad5af086c3f943515cd67c32ca5931/orig.mp4?Expires=1776239960&Signature=OM7iY4aekRI8yPlyLdVhDxAl0WDfH5RcMT7du6kXXkoLBUif~52Y4KimK7Oo8M~~0dtRbVy0yB81D~UOF7LqmQ~L93GVkugxS0J2dJiglF22mawJS6fNuannX1zMkFt6g3ZkH8H3J5nkWl3Ax~W5q7NFFE87zkNQ71SmyrkUheCujS29v4~fDGD8DYtSyi1oNRjXZWheM62JfEA8Z-ofxfSmbwfO1qSjSTH30WGMjRHL6BDfRgdphAD0ZD7s02eAh7Vd4jbko9PXLeN7zwmLottStSkrFbHMlw4LXUZFjjRRe-vn8PR0WhEuUV9pnPduhfS3b39Ms835Yy4IghAEoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tigard officials heard an analysis of city franchise haulers' finances and gave staff direction to pursue a targeted increase for residential cart service after a presentation by the assistant finance director and the city's consultant.

Assistant Finance Director Keith McClung told the council the city's blended rate of return for solid-waste service fell to 7.78 percent, below the 8-to-12 percent band in Tigard Municipal Code 11.0409 that triggers a rate review. \"If it falls outside the eight-to-twelve percent rate of return, a rate study is triggered to determine the adjustments needed to bring the forecasted composite rate back to 10%,\" McClung said.

Consultant Chris Bell of Bell & Associates summarized factors affecting hauler costs: rising Metro disposal fees, expiration of a federal compressed natural gas tax credit, union contract increases and higher administrative and medical costs for labor. Bell said the federal tax credit for CNG trucks expired in 2025 and that change increases haulers' fueling costs even though CNG remains cheaper than diesel.

Bell presented two options for the council: (1) a targeted adjustment to residential cart collection rates (the service line most out of range) that would raise the 32-gallon roll-cart rate by roughly 2.6 percent (larger carts would rise about 2.2'to 3.4 percent depending on size); or (2) a blanket 1.9 percent increase across all solid-waste service lines.

Councilors repeatedly stressed that much of the cost pressure comes from Metro disposal fees and urged Tigard to press Metro for explanation or relief. Council President Wolf and other members referenced recent regional advocacy that had reduced a proposed Metro increase in other jurisdictions. \"As an elected body, I think you have an opportunity to ask those questions,\" Bell told the council.

Several councilors said the fairest and most targeted approach is to raise rates for the residential roll-cart line rather than apply a small across-the-board CPI-style increase. Councilor Mary (last name not specified in the transcript) summarized the majority view: the roll-cart line is the revenue shortfall, so the increase should focus there.

Councilors also asked staff to return to the council with more analysis of cost drivers, including Metro tipping fees, and the possibility of inviting Metro staff to explain the recent, large fee increases. McClung said staff would pursue that outreach as part of follow-up work.

No formal ordinance or rate ordinance vote was taken at the meeting; council provided guidance to staff to proceed with the targeted residential cart adjustment and further inquiry into Metro fee drivers.","City staff and a consultant presented a rate study after franchise haulers reported a composite rate below the city's target. Councilors favored raising residential roll-cart rates rather than a uniform increase and asked staff to pursue outreach to Metro on rising disposal fees.","actionData","errors"]
