Budget: Approximately$100 million. The project will be financed through
Revenue Bonds.
Council Action: City Council adopted the interceptor replacement option on July
10, 2007.
Council voted to finance the project through Revenue Bonds in
July 2008.
Council approved purchase of stainless steel wire rope on
December 2, 2008 and stainless steel manholes on December 16,
2008.
Council took action to acquire property for lake access on
December 29, 2008.
Next Steps: Several projects related to preparing for the construction of the
interceptor replacement are currently underway including Bryant
Road pump station planning and design, project materials
purchases, Kelok/Maple sewer construction, interceptor design
finalization, and McVey staging site purchase.
The City Council receives bi-monthly updates on the project at
regular Council meetings.

The Lake Oswego Interceptor Sewer (LOIS) Project
Background
In 2000,the City began examining solutions to prevent sewer overflows in the lines leading to
the main lake interceptor. At the time, it was thought that the overflow problem could be
corrected simply by adding an additional pipeline for increased capacity. Subsequent in-depth
analysis of the condition of the existing interceptor and its support system and extensive
geologic exploration of the lake bottom showed that the line could fail structurally in a
moderate earthquake. After an extensive alternatives analysis, the City Council adopted a
buoyant,tethered, gravity pipeline system on July 10, 2007, as the preferred solution to resolve
interceptor issues. The system is designed to be anchored to the bedrock beneath the lake
bottom, kept afloat about 15 feet beneath the surface of the lake and shaped in an s-curve.
These three features working together provide for a consistent slope that will enable gravity
flow to the Tryon Creek Water Wastewater Treatment Plan. As of January 2009, project design
is about 90%complete. The project team anticipates final design of the in-lake portions of the
interceptor to be completed in June 2009, with construction preparation beginning in April
2009.
Issue
Capacity: The interceptor was designed to handle sewer flows from about 3,500 developed
acres. Today it handles flows from about 4,500 acres. Prolonged periods of rain cause raw
sewage to flow out of manholes into the lake or onto streets near the lake. Such spills violate
the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA). In February 2007,the City entered into a Mutual
Agreement and Order (MAO) with the State Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to
establish a strict compliance schedule and measures the City will take to reduce overflows until
the interceptor upgrade is constructed.
Structural Soundness: The existing interceptor is 45 years old. More than 9,000 feet of the line
in the main portion of the lake is supported on wood and steel piles, designed and constructed
at a time when local seismic conditions were not well understood and seismic design standards
were much less stringent. In addition, the steel pile system is corroding; which weakens the
steel supports, further reducing their strength. The pipeline and its pile support system will not
likely survive ground shaking from a moderate earthquake. Engineering studies predict that
seismic ground movement sufficient to cause widespread failure of the pile support system has
a 15%chance of occurring within 25 years. Severe breaks in the pipeline would cause millions of
gallons of raw sewage to discharge into Oswego Lake. Additionally, up to 15 million gallons per
day of lake water could drain through the pipe, potentially overwhelming the Tryon Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant and spilling to the Willamette River.
Options Examined
Five alternative solutions emerged from the initial design phase including 1) buoyant, gravity,
truss supported pipe, 2) buoyant, gravity, tethered, 3)buoyant, gravity, steel pipe, 4) steel pipe,
4
pile supported, gravity, and 5) around-the lake, pumped. A brief explanation of each is found
below as well as the cost comparison for these options.
1. Buoyant, gravity,truss supported pipe: Floating, foam-filled boxes tethered to the lake
bottom would support either steel pipe or plastic pipe at spans ranging from 90-125
feet.
2. Buoyant, gravity,tethered: (The selected option). Steel cables anchored to the bedrock
beneath the lake bottom hold down a buoyant plastic pipe about 15 feet beneath the
lake's surface.
3. Buoyant, gravity, steel pipe: Replaces the majority of the in-water interceptor with steel
piles supported on floating pontoons.
4. Steel pipe, pile supported gravity: Steel piles driven to bedrock in the lake.
5. Pumped system (partially in lake and partially out of lake): Sitting of several pump
stations at locations around the lake to pump wastewater to a gravity interceptor
located inland.
A more detailed discussion of how each alternative fared against selected criteria is found in
the attached Council Report dated June 7, 2007.
The benefits of the buoyant, tethered,gravity solution:
The in-lake, buoyant, high density polyethylene pipeline, tethered beneath the lake surface,
was chosen over the pumping option for a variety of reasons:
1. Lower life cycle cost (capital and design life maintenance costs).
2. Lower financial risk of construction cost increases.
3. No need to acquire six additional sites on which to locate pump stations.
4. Relatively fewer disruptions to private properties and roads.
5. Components of the system are better able to withstand earthquakes and corrosion.

DEQ,Compliance Schedule
The City and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality entered into a Mutual
Agreement and Order (MAO) in February 2007. The MAO established milestones toward the
start of the interceptor replacement on October 1, 2009. One of the requirements of the MAO
is an Overflow Response Plan, which the City has developed. This plan outlines how the city will
respond to any overflows that could occur until the long term sewer replacement solution is
installed.

Financing
The total current 75-year present worth "life cycle" cost estimate is approximately $100
million for the in-lake buoyant pipeline gravity system. This estimate may change
somewhat as designs are refined. The City Council voted in July 2008 to finance the LOIS
project through revenue bonds which will be repaid through the utility rates. Bonds are
expected to be sold in June 2009. Given current cost estimates, a 20-year revenue bond
would increase the sewer portion of utility bills by 10% a year from today's average of
$340 to $800 in 9 years, remaining at that level until the bonds are paid.
Construction Schedule
Even though construction of the in-water portions of the project is not scheduled to begin until
June 2009, several tasks will take place from now until that time, both in preparation for
construction as well as related projects that are not dependent on lake levels.

Formation of Lake Oswego Interceptor Sewer Team
In June 2008, the City Manager created the LOIS Project team to provide management and
oversight throughout the duration of the LOIS Project. The team consists of Joel Komarek,
Project Director;Jane Heisler, Communications Director, Pat McDougal, Engineer, Susie Shinn,
part time administrative support; and Jeff Selby, Citizen Information Coordinator. The LOIS
Project is one of the most significant projects that the City has undertaken in its history. It is an
essential service and a large capital expenditure and has financial, environmental, traffic, noise,
legal and political impacts that will need to be addressed. Having a team in place to address
issues over the life of the project, to interface with the contractors, Council and the public, will
help to create a smoother construction process. Some of these include:
i Fall 2008 Winter 2009 ; Spring 2009 Summer 1

Lake Oswego and Tigard Joint Water Supply Partnership

management for a sustainable future
Background
On March 6, 2006, the City Councils of Lake Oswego and Tigard signed an Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) to jointly fund a study of a possible water supply partnership to develop
additional supplies of water from the City of Lake Oswego's source,the Clackamas River. On
August 5, 2008 the two cities executed an IGA, initiating the next phase to jointly plan, design,
fund, construct, own and operate an expanded water supply system for the benefit of each city.
A Historical Perspective on Lake Oswego's Water Supply
• In 1925, the City of Oswego purchased the water supply system assets of the Oswego
Lake Water, Light and Power Company for$15,000. The system consisted of 1 reservoir,
1 pump station and approximately 7-miles of pipelines. The source of supply was a
connection to the City of Portland's Bull Run supply, a spring and several small domestic
wells.
• In 1965,the City Council commissioned an engineering study to identify a long term
source of water supply to replace the Portland connection and the system of wells the
City had relied on for its drinking water. Source options evaluated included continued
use of Portland's Bull Run system, the Willamette River, Clackamas River and an
expansion of its well system.
• In 1966,the Council selected the Clackamas River as its preferred source of supply and
in 1967, secured a permit from the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) to
divert up to 32.3 million gallons per day (MGD) of water from the river. Later in 1973, a
second permit was acquired allowing an additional diversion of 5.8 MGD.
• By December 1968, the City had funded construction of its present day river intake
structure on the Clackamas River, over 50,000 feet of large diameter water transmission
piping, a 10.8 MGD water treatment plant in West Linn (then unincorporated Clackamas
County) and several water storage reservoirs. The $3.5M dollar cost for the new system
was paid for by Department of Housing and Urban Development (DHUD) grants. These
systems are still in service today.
• In 1973, the City and the Tigard Water District executed an intergovernmental
agreement for the sale of surplus city water to Tigard. The agreement resulted in the
13
construction of pipelines connecting the City's water supply system to Tigard's Bonita
Road pump station located on the east side of the 1-5 freeway.
• In 1980,the City expanded its water treatment plant to the current day capacity of 16
MGD. The plant property totals 6.05 acres. In the mid-90s, the City purchased an
additional 3.3 acres to the south of the plant property on Mapleton Drive.
• In 1983,the original 1973 water supply agreement between Lake Oswego and Tigard
was amended. Since that time, the City has been a long standing provider of wholesale
water to the City of Tigard. Supply to Tigard peaked in FY 94/95 at 4.5 MGD. Today, on
average, Tigard receives about 1 MGD representing about 16%of their annual average
day demand and about 7.5% of their peak day demand.
• The water systems of West Linn and Lake Oswego are also interconnected via an
intertie/pump station facility located on Old River Road just north of Kenthorpe Way in
the City of West Linn. This facility was constructed several years ago and jointly funded
between the two cities. In 2001, Lake Oswego provided water to West Linn through this
intertie for several months while seismic improvements were being made to West Linn's
main supply line crossing the 1-205 Bridge.
• Today, Lake Oswego serves water to its city residents and provides water to several
water districts and cities through intergovernmental agreements. Wholesale customers
are the cities of Portland, Tigard, and Tualatin, the Skylands Water Company, Lake Grove
Water District, Rivergrove Water District, Glenmorrie Water Cooperative and the Alto
Park Water District. Historically, wholesale sales represent about 3%of total annual
consumption excluding sales to the City of Tigard.
"Drivers" for the Partnership
• Aging infrastructure—Lake Oswego's critical supply system components--water intake
structure and pumps, raw and finished water transmission mains and water treatment
plant—operate at the upper limit of best practices conditions 24/7 during the peak
summer season. These components are over 40-years old. Recent studies and
condition assessments of this critical infrastructure have identified approximately $5M
worth of"capital triage" needs to upgrade these facilities. As this infrastructure
continues to age, operating costs will also increase and reliability will diminish.
• Retail water demands—Lake Oswego's in-city water demands during the peak season
are approaching maximum treatment capacity. With or without Tigard as a partner,
Lake Oswego must begin planning to expand its supply system. With an aggressive
conservation program, Lake Oswego may be able to buy itself enough time to expand its
system before peak day demands outstrip current treatment capacity. With
conservation savings of 1/2% annually, expanded facilities will need to be on line by
2016.
14
• Managing utility rate growth—The need for new water supply infrastructure and
increasing operating and maintenance costs, pressure utilities to increase water rates.
This water supply partnership will ameliorate rate impacts by taking advantage of
economies of scale and spreading the costs of new capital and operating and
maintenance costs over the combined rate base of both cities.
• Municipal water rights—House Bill (HB) 3038 enacted by the 2005 legislature upended
historic precedent with respect to municipal water rights. Oregon Revised Statues (ORS)
Chapter 537 and implementing Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) Chapter 315
concerning municipal water rights place water systems with undeveloped water rights in
positions of grave uncertainty with regard to planning for future water demand growth,
and the financing of capital improvements to serve increased demands. Please refer to
Exhibit 'A'for a detailed discussion of the impacts to municipal water providers as a
result of HB 3038.
• Source options and reliability—Of increasing importance to water providers today are
risks of supply interruption due to natural disaster, poor water quality or terrorist acts.
Access to an alternate source of supply and system redundancy is a critical strategy that
responds to these risks. The City of Lake Oswego currently does not have access to an
alternate source of drinking water of sufficient capacity to meet emergency needs and
has identified several potential vulnerabilities to the reliability of its existing supply
system.
The "Regional Transmission and Storage Strategy" (RTSS) commissioned by the Regional
Water Provider's Consortium (RWPC) in 1998, was developed partially in response to
these concerns. The recommended strategy of linking supply sources (e.g., Bull Run,
Willamette, Clackamas and Trask/Barney Reservoir systems) relies on a network of large
diameter transmission mains capable of moving water throughout the region: north to
south, east to west. The report suggests the best opportunity for developing these
linkages will be realized through local partnerships. Lake Oswego and Tigard see this
partnership as a first step in providing their citizens more reliable water service while
promoting the sharing of water sources on a regional level.
• System ownership and control —Historically,Tigard has relied on other purveyors for its
water supply secured through wholesale purchase contracts. These contracts have left
Tigard vulnerable to uncertain future costs and availability of long-term supplies. For
the last several years, Tigard has been exploring opportunities to acquire ownership in a
source of supply. The engineering and financial analysis jointly funded by Lake Oswego
and Tigard determined Tigard's best long term supply option was a partnership with
Lake Oswego. The study also determined significant capital and operating and
maintenance costs savings would accrue to both cities in a partnership.
• Regional benefits -With the consummation of this agreement, and construction of the
expanded systems of pipes, pumps and treatment, Lake Oswego and Tigard could
provide benefits to others in the region vis-a-vis access to alternate sources of supply
15
through regional transmission systems and opportunities for agencies with excess water
rights to deliver their water to those in the region in need of new or supplemental
supplies.
Next Steps
The partnership agreement establishes that Lake Oswego, as the "Managing Agency" will
orchestrate all efforts necessary to double its existing water supply capacity to 32 MGD ("initial
expansion") by July 1, 2016. To accomplish this, the City must:
• Secure extensions of time to develop water authorized by state permit for beneficial use
but currently undeveloped. Proposed Final Orders issued by the state granting the
extensions have been protested by WaterWatch of Oregon and by the South Fork Water
Board (SFWB). The SFWB is an intergovernmental entity created through an ORS 190
agreement between the cities of West Linn and Oregon City. Pursuant to statutory
process, the protests must be resolved through a contested case proceeding. The City
has retained outside legal counsel to defend its interests in this matter. It is anticipated
the contested case proceeding could take from 1 to 3 years to resolve. The protest by
SFWB (i.e., West Linn and Oregon City) creates an adversarial relationship with Lake
Oswego in the contested case proceedings.
® Revise and resubmit to the state its recently adopted Water Management and
Conservation Plan (WMCP). The partnership with the City of Tigard will accelerate the
size and timing of new water that must be developed to serve both cities and thus is the
driver for the updated plan. This effort will likely begin in early 2009. It is expected
Water Watch of Oregon will also protest this effort.
® Form a Technical Committee (TC) comprised of two technical staff from each city. The
TC will meet at intervals necessary to keep the expansion project on schedule. The TC is
advisory to the Oversight Committee (OC). Technical Committee members for Lake
Oswego are Joel Komarek and Kari Duncan, Water Plant Manager.
® Form an Oversight Committee. The OC will be comprised of two elected officials from
each city and will be appointed positions. The OC is advisory to the respective councils
of each city. The OC will review and recommend to the councils of each city, projects
identified as necessary for the initial expansion and related funding and budgetary
matters. The OC is expected to meet no less often than quarterly. The Managing
Agency is responsible for staffing and assisting the OC to comply with public meetings
law and noticing requirements. It is assumed OC members will be appointed in early
2009 after new Council members have taken their oath of office.
® Create a capital improvement plan for the initial expansion and a corresponding budget
specific to the capital and operating needs of the system that will be jointly owned by
the two cities. The first draft budget must be prepared and submitted to the TC by
16
March 1, 2009 followed by submittal to the OC by April 30, 2009. The final budget must
be approved by the respective councils of each city by June 30, 2009.
▪ Complete a lot line adjustment for property owned by the City in West Waluga Park and
necessary for operation of the City's Waluga Reservoir. This effort will occur in 2009.
▪ Complete property appraisals for all properties that would be jointly owned by the two
cities and that are necessary for the operation of the jointly owned supply system. (This
task has been completed.)
• Accept payment from Tigard of$2,820,557 by June 30, 2009 representing the
proportionate value of assets owned by Lake Oswego that would be used and useful to
Tigard for its share of the supply system now in existence.
▪ Schedule and commence joint planning sessions with the City of Tigard to establish an
overall project schedule to achieve completion of the initial expansion by July 1, 2016.
® Initiate and conduct a competitive proposal process to retain the services of an
engineering consulting firm to act as the City's program manager and to support the City
in its role as Managing Agency for project delivery.
® Secure all necessary regulatory permits, land use approvals, easements and any other
permits or approvals necessary to complete the initial expansion.
® Adopt and implement annual water rate increases beginning on July 1, 2009 and
necessary to fund Lake Oswego's share of the capital improvements for the initial
expansion.
▪ Staff this project with sufficient technical and administrative resources similar to the
LOIS project in order for the Managing Agency to satisfy its obligations under the IGA.
The above substantial efforts must be undertaken quickly in order to complete the initial
expansion by July 1, 2016. Planning, permitting, design and construction of the new system will
be a complex undertaking involving federal, state, county and local regulatory agencies. Project
elements will be located within three different cities.

A Report to
Oregon Water.Utility Council
June 20061
Overview
The goal of Oregon's municipal water suppliers is to provide a safe and adequate water
supply for public hea th, safety,and welfare,and to be responsible stewards of the state's
water.resources. Toda , Oregon's future municipal water supply is in jeopardy'because
for almost 10 years holders of municipal water use permits have had an uncertain
regulatory path for developing existing water rights needed for growing communities
and economic development.During these 10 years of work groups,lawsuits,legislative
action,:and agency r ulem.aking,Oregon's communities and economy have continued to
rowan and the need for a secure,:long-term municipal water supply has never been greater.
This is a state-wide issue that impacts a range of growing communities including
Medford,Grants Pass,Bend,;Corvallis,Sherwood,Brookings,Sandy and North
Clackamas County.
To meet current and future water needs significant municipal water supply-: vestments
must be made;however,there must be certainty in the outcome of these pub i investments,
Currently this is not the case.. :.
House Bill 3038,passed in the 2005 session,was meant to resolve the uncertainty associated
with developing existing municipal water use perits.:. Unfortunately,FIB 3038 is not
workable. As interpreted by the Department of Justice arid.subsequently implemented by
the
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW),fewer than 100 holders of existing
municipal water use permits would be responsible for the recovery of misted.fish species.
The process for evaluating the development of existing municipal water use permits is not
the proper venue for addressing over 100 years of Oregon's water management actions and
the cam reh.ensive efforts needed for fish recovery,
A change to 1-0 3038:is•needed to provide for the continued development of existing
mun.icipa:l water use permits..and to provide the clear and certain path needed for the
development of a secure,Ion -term water supply for Oregon.The following bullets and
associated in-depth memos describe t 1e unique needs and statutory preferences associated
with municipal water suppliers, and the history of the municipal water use perm i.t
development issue.
Background
e As early as 1913,the Oregon Legislature:recognized the unique needs of municipal.
water providers and expressly confirmed the right of municipal water providers to
acquire and hold water rights for reasonable future growth and for emergencies [ORS
540.610(4)]. For almost 100 years the Oregon Water Resources Department 0WRD) or
its predecessor has granted such water rights for future water supplies._
6 The acquisition of water:for future muni.cipal water supply is unique.Municipal water
providers are formed to provide a service and are obligated to serve't their customers.
19
6/27/06
This requires planning for water sources,,treatment,storage and transmission on long-
term horizons.' Municipal water providers are also bound by Oregon's land use
planning statutes,which require public facilities la ng; by the requirements of
infrastructure financiers;and by stringent environmental regulations such as the
Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act.
• Recognizing the unique circumstance of municipal water providers,.ers, Oregon's statutes
have not only confirmed the right to acquire water,:.but they reflect a number of
municipal water supplier preferences.,In other states these preferences have been
labeled by courts as the"Growing Communities Doctrine." In Oregon,the doctrine
consists of a number of inter-related statutes that,at,if read together,provide preferences
in the permitting,development,and appropriation of water.
• Until recently,Oregon law required the holders of undeveloped municipal water use
permits to request an"extension of time" every 5 years. These simple-requests were
regularly approved by OVVRD without question. Over time,municipal water providers
have relied on.OWRD's actions and expended significant resources on planning,,
engineering,and legal fees with the expectation that these water right permits could
ultimately be fully developed to meet the needs of growing communities and economic
development.
• In 1997, OWRD received advice from the Attorney General that the 5-year duration of
permit extension approvals was not supported in law and that permit extensions should
be for the time needed to fully develop the water right permit. Based on this advice,
OW RID initiated an effort to develop a revised permit extension process. At the urging
of the municipal water providers,ders, WRD agreed to develop a process that addressed. the
unique needs of municipal water supply development and established the Community
Water Supply Work Group.
• In the early stages of the work group
process the water providers developed a
persuasive legal argument that surface water municipal use permits are not subject to
forfeiture or cancellation underOregon's water right development statutes,and :.
therefore permit.extensions may be unnecessary.• altogether. Despite taking this legal
position,the water providers agreed to cooperatively work toward developing a
sensible permit extension process.
• After 4 years of work group process, during which actions on municipal permit
extensions were placed on hold, in November 2002 the Oregon Water Resources
Commission adopted administrative rules that provide municipal water providers the
opportunity,to obtain a long-term permit extension but link access to"undeveloped"
amounts.of water to development,of a comprehensive water management and
conservation plan. These water management and conservation plans include a rigorous
evaluation of current water management and conservation practices,the development of
required water conservation measures and 5-year conservation benchmarks, and an
analysis of future needs an.d water supply alternatives.
• In a little over a year after the new permit extension/water management plan process
was implemented,the entire process was derailed.'in April 2004 the Oregon Court of
20
2
6/27/06
Appeals rendered an opinion that called into question OWRD's historic practices
associated with the issuance of municipal water use permits.Specifically,the court
struck down OWRID's practice of not applying the"start of construction" statutory
provision in the granting of municipal water right permits. This ruling called into
question the validity of hundreds of municipal water use permits throughout the state
and directly impacted municipal water providers that relied on the actions of OWRD.
Once again, the path for developing a municipal water use permit was uncertain and the
situation begged for legislative action.
• In 2005 HB 3038 was developed by the League of Oregon Cities,the Special Districts
Association of Oregon,and the Oregon Water Utility Council to resolve the start of
construction issue and to provide certainty in the development of existing municipal
water use permits. In negotiations in the House a number of measures were added,
including codification of the requirement to develop a water management and
conservation plan as part of the permit extension process.
• In the Senate, lith hour negotiations were held to address the specific concern that use of
these undeveloped (existing) municipal water use permits might wipe out a run of listed
fish Despite their water use already being regulated under the state and federal
Endangered Species acts,the municipal water providers agreed to add language to HB
3038 requiring munidpal permit extension applications (for permits issued prior to
November 2, 1998) to be reviewed by ODFW,with conditions to ensure the
undeveloped portion of the permit"maintains the persistence of listed fish species."
• The negotiations on M3 3038 and floor statements by Representative Jenson and Senator
Ringo regarding the"maintain persistence" language were unambiguous.This
provision was to ensure that undeveloped municipal permits would not have a
catastrophic impact on a run of listed fish species. As described on the floor of the
Senate by Senator Ringo,"the definition of maintain the persistence of fish .....is a
forecast of future population health stated in terms of the probability of extirpation."
• From the start it was clear that implementation of HB 3038 and the "maintain
persistence" provision was problematic and would likely need to be revisited. Following
passage of the bill,environmental interests party to the HB 3038 negotiations quickly
moved away from what was agreed to. In the administrative rule process to implement
HB 3038,OWRD was unwilling to adopt a definition of"maintain the persistence" that
reflected the legislative intent. And,ODFW,which was charged with providing advice
to OWRD on municipal permit extension applications,interpreted the "maintain
persistence" provision to mean"do no further harm," and later concluded it meant
something more akin to fish recovery. ODFW's interpretation is inconsistent with the
legislative intent and inconsistent with past ODFW use of the term"persistence.
• It was clear that HB 3038 would fail after ODFW's first attempt to review municipal
permit extension applications and provide advice to OWRD. In the review of nine
municipal permit extension requests on the Willamette River,ODFW evaluated whether
use of the undeveloped portions of the permits would maintain the persistence of listed
species by considering fish recovery"flow targets" developed in an internal
memorandum. The recommended target flows raise significant concerns, given the lack
3 21
6/27/06
-of data and the use of weak statistics, the unrealistic nature of the flows when.compared
to historic flows,and:a clear recognition that the"taret flows""could only be met
:through release Of water stored in the:federa..stora,e projects in the basin.;
• : n.::is evaluation of:the e nu.ncnna �pert extension requests:for the. illa. ette
River,ODFW suggested there was a deficit fish flow need of 6,000 to 7,000 cubic feet per
second in the month of June.
Conclusion :
Significant financi.al..resoLVCCs have been..or will be expended for the contin-ued
development of municipal water use permits. :.A clear and certain path must.be established
in order to provide w a ter.to growing communities. :.:.:::
.s demonstrated by the actions of the state agencies charged with implementing FIB 3038,
the bill is unworkable and needs to be fixed. FIB 3038 was meant to ensure development of
existing municipal water use permits that would not result in catastrophic impacts to
listed fish species,not to place the burden of addressing 100 years of water management
on the backs of municipal water suppliers:that collectively .o d developed and
un e relo e .waiter rights to use approxithately 8 percent of the st te's water resources.
The sta.te's water providers are already subject to state and federal regulations to protect
and recover listed sp cies. Water providers are stewards of the state"s waiter resources and
are engaged.in numerous activities to rresoonsibl :manae, protect,and enhance
strea f oars. We rema n committed to these stewardship activities es but also must ensure the
public health,safety and.welfare of our customers.

City Centennial Celebration
Background
January 2010 marks 100 years since the incorporation of Oswego, Oregon. A Staff Committee
was formed to explore various celebration options which were discussed at the May 13, July 1,
and September 2, 2008 Council meetings. Council recommended:
• The Centennial Celebration will take place throughout the year with one big celebration
party around July 4, 2010.
• The Centennial theme will be tied to existing City events, as well as new events.
• The celebration will involve neighborhoods, businesses, and other partners.
In addition, the Council asked the staff committee to explore ideas and areas of focus. The
Centennial Committee met throughout the summer and discussed:
• Existing events that could be tied to the Centennial with little or no increase in budget;
• Additional events/projects for the Centennial that will have an impact on the budget;
• How to involve neighborhoods, Boards and Commissions, businesses, schools, and
other organizations;
a The Committee is seeking input and support from potential partners, including
schools and services. On September 22, the Committee held a Centennial
Celebration Planning Kick-off, where potential partners shared ideas and signed
up for various subcommittees.
• Fundraising ideas for the Centennial Celebration and projects such as the Furnace
Restoration and Iron Heritage Trail;
• The theme for the celebration: Honor the past, celebrate the present, and imagine the
future.
Future discussions will focus on:
• Event responsibilities;
• Budget;
• Sponsors and funding options;
• Community involvement;
• Planning of celebration party.
Next Steps
In 2009, the Council will have an active role in planning the Centennial celebrations.
Costs for the celebration will be considered in the 2009 budget process.
Staff is requesting that the Council confirm the scope of celebration.

Library District Proposal
Project Lead: Library Director
Budget: The measure proposed a tax rate of$.39 per$1,000 assessed
property valuation for library operations. Each city would get all
the money from its taxpayers based on the assessed value.
Council Action: The Lake Oswego City Council resolved to support the creation of
a library service district that would include the.Lake Oswego
Library.
Election Results: The proposal passed on November 4, 2008 with a 61.25%yes
vote.
Next Action: Cities will be asked to ratify the Intergovernmental agreement.
Further steps: Monies will be collected in December of 2009 and disbursed to
communities in early 2010. Included in the additional revenues
will be a one-time capital improvement distribution of$1,000,000
to each community. This will be done within the next five years,
and each city will determine the year best suited to their needs to
receive the capital funds.
41
Library District Proposal
The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) referred a ballot measure to voters in
November 2008. This proposal created a service district to provide stable and dedicated
revenue for libraries and followed the BCC decision to discontinue funding for
Clackamas County libraries. This action by the Commissioners was taken in response to
the decision by the Federal government to eliminate $12 million of Federal Secure Rural
School Funding ("timber revenue")that had previously been provided to the County.
Currently ten city and three county libraries receive operations funding from the
County. With the loss of these federal funds, the County made the decision to no longer
support direct library service operations. The proposed tax rate for the district was .39
cents per$1,000 assessed property valuation. The measure will take effect with the next
fiscal year, commencing July 1, 2009.
Background
Cooperative resources among cities and the County have existed since the 1930s. The
County became directly involved in library funding in the 1970s, with a series of
countywide, multi-year levies. In the mid-1990s,voter-approved property tax limitation
laws made public financing of libraries in Clackamas County more challenging.
In March 1997, Clackamas County voted on a five-year library levy. The levy received a
majority of yes votes, but failed to achieve the double-majority requirement. With the
passage of Measure 50 in 1997, the library levy was included (at a rolled-back rate) in
the General Fund calculation which had to compete with other county programs for
funding. Clackamas County adopted a five-year tax apportionment policy to sustain
libraries while long-term strategies could be developed. An independent review of the
Clackamas County Library system recommended the creation of a countywide library
district. Based on this recommendation and discussions with city partners,the county
proposed the formation of a library funding district.
Commissioners determined that a library service district would provide the most stable
funding at a threshold level based on Oregon Library Association standards. The rate
would be $.39 to bring all libraries to that level, assuming the County libraries were
closed. The Town Center branch will be taken offline and moved into the Happy
Valley/Damascus area. Each city will get all the money from its taxpayers based on
assessed value. The unincorporated areas were divided into service areas and that
money would go to their providers. Based on that scenario each provider would exceed
the Oregon Library threshold standard. With the passage of the district proposal, over
the 5-year period the $12 million would go into a capital improvement fund where each
city will get approximately$1 million for improvements.
43
Implications for Lake Oswego
For Lake Oswego, Clackamas County currently funds approximately 30%of the Library's
budget and for several libraries, county funding is their entire budget. The revenue
provided to Lake Oswego for library funding by Clackamas County will total
approximately$955,274 in fiscal year 2008-09. With the passage of this measure, Lake
Oswego will receive approximately$1,951,450 for fiscal year 2009-2010.
The citizens of Lake Oswego are dedicated Library users; in fact Lake Oswego ranks
number one in Oregon for the number of Library items checked out per capita. Due to
the size of the collection, the size of the facility, and the demand for materials, Lake
Oswego Library patrons also rely on access to materials from all Clackamas County
libraries. In fact Lake Oswego patrons check out over 200,000 more items annually from
other Clackamas County Libraries than their patrons borrow from us.
The passage of this measure will result in the enhancement of Library services county-
wide and will result in a benefit for Lake Oswego users, not merely in possible
enhancements to local Library service, but in the increased pool of materials and
resources county-wide to utilize. The failure of the measure would have greatly
increased the demands on our facility from county users who would have seen their
own Libraries suffer diminished hours and collection.
Cities will be working with Libraries will be bring their facilities, staffing, and materials to
a level that meets Oregon Library Association standards. In Lake Oswego, the only major
OLA excellence standard that Lake Oswego fails to meet is facility size.
Next Steps
Cities will be asked to ratify the Intergovernmental agreement. Monies will be collected
in December of 2009. 75% of the collected revenue will be disbursed to communities
in January of 2010 with the remaining portions to be distributed in March and May of
2010. Included in the additional revenues will be a one-time capital improvement
distribution of$1,000,000 to each community. This will be done within the next five
years, and each city will determine the year best suited to their needs to receive the
capital funds.

Clean Streams Plan (Stormwater Master Plan Update)
Project Lead: Public Works Director
Budget: Funding for the Clean Streams Plan is dependent upon the
program option that Council would choose to adopt. The
program that staff is recommending for adoption would
implement the full Clean Streams program with an operations
budget of$1.5 million and a capital budget of$7.85 million over
10 years.
Council Action: Council approved hiring the consulting firm of OTAK, Inc. to
update the City's Stormwater Master Plan (Clean Streams Plan).
Next Steps: The Clean Streams plan was scheduled for adoption in December
2008, but the City Council decided it was more appropriate to
postpone action and allow the new Council to consider it in 2009.
Staff recommends that the City Council schedule a study session
on the Clean Streams Plan in February or March for consideration
and direction on the Plan.
45
Clean Streams Plan
(Stormwater Master Plan Update)
Background
In 2006, the City hired OTAK, Inc, to update the City's stormwater master plan, now
called the Clean Streams Plan. The previous master plan was developed in 1992, and
many of the proposed projects called for in that plan have been constructed and
completed. In the meantime, technologies and regulations have changed.The existing
plan is no longer able to provide effective policy and guidance for the City in its efforts
to respond to stormwater and water quality concerns.
The Clean Streams Plan establishes policy that will guide continued development and
operations of our storm and surface water systems for the next 10+years.
Opportunities and limitations for managing surface and stormwater are mostly a result
of physical characteristics and community preferences. The primary goals related to
storm and surface water management are to prevent flooding of homes and businesses,
and improve the quality (or prevent the degradation of) stormwater.
Over the last two years, and through a variety of forums, and the City has received input
from the community on stormwater issues. There is strong interest in a healthier
environment and continued efforts to address localized flooding problems. People
generally like `green' solutions but are mixed as to whether a strong regulatory
approach is appropriate. Aside from environmental and flooding concerns, the City did
not find consistent themes or issues with community-wide support.
Physical Characteristics
Lake Oswego's topography, roadways, drainage system, and development
characteristics influence how stormwater has been managed throughout the city. Most
of the City is hilly and steep, with many small ravines and drainages. Runoff from
adjacent neighborhoods is conveyed and discharged to these small drainages. As
neighborhoods have developed (and redeveloped), the increase in impervious area and
the loss of trees and vegetation have increased stormwater runoff volumes and flow
rates that are discharged to these local drainages.
Most residential streets do not have curbs or storm drainage systems (to collect and
carry stormwater). Over the years, asphalt berms have been constructed along many
streets to prevent runoff from entering properties. Where berms or curbs are not
present, rainwater may flow from the roadways onto adjacent properties. Where City
streets do have storm systems, they consist mostly of localized pipe systems that carry
stormwater to the nearest drainage.
47
The City does not have many open tracts of land for new developments and most
development activity consists of infill: redeveloping areas of the city, with smaller, older
single-family homes with larger, new homes, or a single home being replaced by three
homes. With construction comes removal of vegetation and trees, and increased in the
amount of sidewalk, driveway, and building area. The increase in impervious area and
the loss of vegetation results in less area for stormwater to soak into the ground and
more stormwater running off the property.
The City's DECK permit for stormwater discharge requires the implementation of Best
Management Practices (BMPs)to improve stormwater quality. In addition,the citizens
of Lake Oswego have expressed their views that improving the quality of streams, rivers,
and lakes in the community is important to them. Unless the City were able to create a
replacement system for the conveyance provided by our streams, water quality of the
streams is directly linked to urban runoff from properties and streets.
For Lake Oswego, opportunities to control runoff and affect water quality include public
engagement to alter common behaviors/practices, ensuring good maintenance
practices for stormwater facilities, and encouraging development using low impact
techniques.
OTAK has carried out modeling and other studies to look at potential system
improvements, as well as a variety of analyses to review our regulatory, outreach and
maintenance/operations for surface water.
Project Status and Next Steps
These outreach activities demonstrate good community interest in stormwater, but no
consensus on areas of focus or priority. Absent a clear community directive, staff has
proposed a moderate and balanced approach to the Clean Streams Plan. The final
document includes:
• Public education plan
• Maintenance and Operations plan
• A review of City ordinances and standards, and recommendations for updates.
• Sustainability guide to stormwater "Best Management Practices"
• Water quality section
• Regulatory section
• Capital improvement program that includes projects to address flooding, water
quality, and Low Impact Development activities
• Financing plan
48
The Clean Streams plan was scheduled for adoption in December 2008, but at that point
the City Council decided it was more appropriate to postpone action and allow the new
Council to take it up in 2009.
Staff recommends that the City Council schedule a study session on the Clean Streams
Plan in February or March to consider and provide direction on the Plan.

Periodic Review (Comprehensive Plan Update)
Project Team: Planning and Building Services Director
Budget: General Fund—Long Range Planning budget.
Council Action: The Council held a briefing session on Periodic Review at their October 21
meeting.
Next Steps: A study session will be scheduled for early February. The City Council
public hearing for adoption of the periodic review work program will be
held on February 17, 2009.
51
Periodic Review (Comprehensive Plan Update)
Background
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan ("Plan") is the City's aspiration for the future and is the basis for all
land use planning and growth management actions in Lake Oswego. In plain terms, it is a
blueprint for the City. The first Plan was adopted in 1978 and subsequent updates occurred in
1992 through periodic review and later in 1994 through a City initiated process. There are two
major parts to the Plan: 1) Plan Text, including factual background information, goals, policies,
and recommended action measures; and 2) Plan Maps, including maps related to land use,
natural resources, and the transportation system.
The Plan may be updated through local plan amendments or through the State-required
periodic review process. Pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes, every jurisdiction is required to
undergo periodic review every seven to ten years. The first and only periodic review was
completed by the City in 1992.
Periodic Review
On May 20, 2008, the City received a letter from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation
and Development (DLCD) directing the City to begin periodic review. The City must submit its
proposed work program to DLCD by February 1, 2009. The City was granted a 90-day extension
on the submittal deadline to allow the new mayor and council members to participate in the
work program review.
Periodic review is a process administered by DLCD that requires local governments to review
their Plan and land use regulations to ensure that they continue to provide for the growth and
development needs of the community and ensure that the Plan and regulations remain
consistent with Oregon Revised Statutes, Oregon Administrative Rules, programs of state
agencies, and statewide planning goals. This process emphasizes review and compliance with
statewide planning goals related to economic development, needed housing, transportation,
public facilities and services, and urbanization.
There are two parts to periodic review:
1. Evaluation and Work Program Development -With public input, review the Plan and
regulations to determine if any changes are required. If opportunities or deficiencies
exist within the Plan or regulations, develop a Council approved work program to
incorporate changes into the Plan and regulations to bring them into compliance; and
2. Implementation —Carry out the work program. The scope of the work program is
typically limited to work that can be completed within three years.
Periodic review is not over until all of the tasks in the work program are completed.
53
Periodic review is also an opportunity for the community to broadly evaluate its Plan, outside of
the scope of the technical DLCD requirements, to ensure that the vision and aspirations of
residents are accurately reflected. The City is planning to conduct this additional review as part
of the broader city visioning process. The technical review will update background information
from housing, transportation, economic development, and public infrastructure, which will help
inform the visioning process. The broadest goals of visioning would be to engage Lake Oswego
citizens in new ways, explore community-held values, and generate a blueprint for decisions
that affect the direction of this community. The visioning process is part of the draft periodic
review work program that is currently being reviewed by the Planning Commission.

Street Maintenance Fee
Project Lead: Public Works Director
Budget: The SMF generates approximately$1.1 million each year.
Council Action: City Council adopted the Street Maintenance Fee in 2004. In
November 2008, Council directed staff to index the SMF to the
ENR 20 City Average construction cost index.
Next Steps: Schedule a City Council Study session to share what measures
would be necessary to double SMF revenues to reach a PCl of 70
for streets as well as additional services that could be included
within the SMF to address other needs (i.e. enhanced
maintenance, snow/ice removal, sidewalks and pathways, etc.)
and the associated costs. It is anticipated that his discussion could
be held sometime after February 2009.

Street Maintenance Fee
Background
The City of Lake Oswego has a street network of 379 lane miles including streets within
the City's urban services boundary. Within the network there are 41 lane miles of
arterial streets (like Boones Ferry), 85 lane miles of collector streets (like South Shore
Blvd.), and 252 lane miles of local streets. The network includes approximately 50 lane
miles of county roads not currently under the City's maintenance jurisdiction. The
street network has an estimated replacement value of approximately$181.5 million (in
2007 dollars).
Historically, the City has struggled to find adequate funding for street rehabilitation and
preventative maintenance. The City began collecting a Street Maintenance Fee (SMF) in
2004 as a way to generate a stable source of funding for maintaining the City's road
network. When adopted, the Council did not include an inflator for future years. The
goal at the time the SMF was enacted was to increase Lake Oswego's system-wide
Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from a 75 to an 80 by the year 2014. On October 14,
2008, the Council directed staff to change this goal to a PCI of 70. The PCI is a
measurement of the health of the street network and condition. PCIs range from 0 to
100; a newly constructed street will have a PCI of 100.
On December 2, 2008, the City Council approved applying the Engineering News Record
(ENR) Construction Cost Index (20 Cities Average)to the SMF which hadn't been
adjusted since its implementation in 2004. The SMF was increased by 6.57% effective
July 1, 2009.
The SMF consists of five groups. They are shown below, along with the new (effective
July 1, 2009) charges (rates):
. ... ...... . . .. ... ... .. .. . . . . . . . .
Single-Family Homes $4.00/month
Apartment/Condominiums/Townhomes $2.86/month
Non-Residential Group I $2.45/month/1,000 Square Feet of
Gross Floor Area (GFA)
Non-Residential Group II $5.51/month/1,000 Sq. Ft. of GFA
Non-Residential Group III 20.58 .:month1,00o Sq. Ft. of GFA
The SMF presently generates approximately$1.1 million each year.
Status
The City has been able to direct funds generated by the SMF to some important and
needed street improvement projects such as the slurry seal completed on Provincial Hill
Way in the summer of 2008 and the street reconstruction on Country Club Road in
57
2007. The revenues collected from SMF are not sufficient to ensure a PCI of 70 for Lake
Oswego roadways.
The buying power of the SMF has eroded year-to-year as a result of in the increasing
cost for constructing road projects. Instead of increasing, Lake Oswego's PCI rating has
actually dropped from 75 to 70. One contributing factor to this drop is the fact that the
City's street network has increased in size due to the annexation of some county roads.
These county roads, although relatively small in number, are generally in poor condition
and have a negative impact on the overall PCI rating. Since 2004, the City has annexed
3.5 miles of county roads in addition to adding 1.5 miles of streets due to new
development.
After the Council Study Session on October 14, 2008,the Council directed staff to go
forward to develop a proposal that would double the SMF charge as well as apply a cost
index for inflation. The Council held a subsequent study session on November 4, 2008
regarding which inflation cost index is most appropriate to apply to the SMF as a
measure to mitigate the escalating costs for roadway construction. The City Council
supported the staff recommendation to use the ENR "20 Cities Average" Construction
Cost Index. The City Council's general consensus was that the discussion regarding
doubling SMF revenues should be deferred to the new incoming Council for their
consideration and direction.
Next Steps
Schedule a Council Study session to share what measures would be necessary to double
SMF revenues to reach a PCI of 70 for streets as well as additional services that could be
included within the SMF to address other needs (i.e. enhanced maintenance, snow/ice
removal, sidewalks and pathways, etc.) and the associated costs. It is anticipated that
this discussion could be held sometime this spring.

Foothills Redevelopment
Project Lead: Director of Capital Projects,
City Manager's Office
Budget: The Foothills Redevelopment projects are funded through the City
Manager's Office.
Council Action: There has not yet been any official Council action on the Foothills
Redevelopment. Action may also be needed to allow future tax
increment funds to be used for reimbursement for the up-front
costs for developing an urban renewal district.
Next Steps: To advance redevelopment in Foothills, formal planning efforts
need to commence. These plans will develop a community-
supported vision for the area, address the key issues listed above,
and result in both amendments to the City's comprehensive plan
and an Urban Renewal plan for the district.
A number of decisions will be necessary in the coming months.
These include determining the specific deliverables and means for
funding these planning efforts, developing a working agreement
or memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the property
owners to define roles and responsibilities between the two
parties, and developing a public involvement plan.

redevelopment to occur. In
considering a new urban renewal district, the study area will likely be expanded to
include the existing Oswego Pointe development and the Albertson's commercial site
along Hwy 43. This area totals approximately 120 acres.
Foothills redevelopment offers a number of opportunities and benefits including:
■ Providing a variety of housing types for both existing and future residents.
■ Minimizing the need for existing neighborhoods to accommodate future growth
and the influx of new residents to Lake Oswego.
• Providing jobs so that more residents can both work and live in the community.
• Providing retail opportunities that complement development in Foothills as well
as existing downtown businesses.
• Adding parks and multi-use trails that connect to Tryon State Park and nearby
neighborhoods and business areas.
• Improving access and connections to the Willamette River.
■ Enhancing bike and pedestrian access to the future Greenway Trail along the
west side of the river between Portland and Oregon City.
• Providing a fast, reliable streetcar connection to jobs and cultural amenities in
Portland.
• Providing improvements for future traffic on Highway 43.
61
• Possibly reconfiguring the Tryon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to one that
has fewer impacts and is more sustainable.
Previous studies have explored many of the key issues with Foothills; however, much
work still needs to be done. These issues include:
• Type of development and mix of uses
• Density
▪ Connections between downtown and the Foothills area
▪ Connections to the Willamette River
▪ Impacts of the wastewater treatment plant
▪ Traffic impacts and access to State Street
® Improved transit service and access for bike and pedestrians
▪ The existing floodplain
One of the keys for successfully redeveloping Foothills is agreement between the City
and private property owners on ways to address these issues. With this in mind, the
City, with the support of the property owners, hired an economic development
consulting firm, ECONorthwest, to assess the work done to-date and help build a
foundation for a successful public/private partnership. They prepared a report that
provides a summary of previous work,the issues as defined by both private property
owners and public officials, financing tools for the necessary public improvements, and a
series of next steps.
A top priority issue for redeveloping Foothills has been whether or not the treatment
plant should be decommissioned and moved to Clackamas County's Tri-City plant.
Updated cost estimates for decommissioning the plant have recently been developed
along with estimates for future urban renewal funds that could possibly cover these
costs. Given the significant expense for decommissioning the plant, the Foothills
property owners now agree that it's not viable to remove the plant from Foothills.
Other options for the plant still need to be studied. These include reducing its footprint,
minimizing the visual and odor impacts, and minimizing its presence along the river.
Next Steps and Upcoming City Council Considerations
To advance redevelopment in Foothills, formal planning efforts need to commence.
These plans will develop a community-supported vision for the area, address the key
issues listed above, and result in both amendments to the City's comprehensive plan
and an Urban Renewal plan for the district.
A number of decisions will be necessary in the coming months. These include
determining the specific deliverables and means for funding these planning efforts,
developing a working agreement or memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the
property owners to define roles and responsibilities between the two parties, and
developing a public involvement plan. Action may also be needed to allow future tax
increment funds to be used for reimbursement for the up-front costs for developing an
urban renewal district.

Lake Oswego to Portland Transit and Trails (Streetcar)
Project Lead: Director of Capital Projects,
City Manager's Office
Budget: The Streetcar project activities are funded through the City Manager's
Office.
Council Action: In May 2006, the City Council adopted the City of Lake Oswego
Downtown Transit Alternatives Advisory Committee recommendations
for transit alternatives which concluded that a streetcar is the type of
transit that will best serve the community's goals.
Next Steps: Regular updates will be provided to City Council as Metro proceeds with
the project including drafting the Environmental Impact Statement in
2009.
An intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the partnering agencies
will define a funding plan for this work. It will also define financial
obligations for each of the benefiting partners. The IGA is expected to be
ready for City Council consideration in February.
The City Council will eventually be asked to approve a preferred
alignment and alternative for the project.
63
Lake Oswego to Portland Transit and Trails Project (Streetcar)
The Lake Oswego to Portland Transit and Traits Project is a federally and locally funded
study that is evaluating both transit and trail alternatives in the 5.7-mile corridor
between Lake Oswego and downtown Portland. For Lake Oswego, this project wilt
improve transportation and access along the Highway 43 corridor to downtown
Portland, and could be a major catalyst for the redevelopment of the Foothills area.
The project partners include Metro,TriMet,the cities of Lake Oswego and Portland,
Clackamas and Multnomah counties, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Metro recently completed the Alternatives Analysis for the project. The Alternatives
Analysis is a part of the federal process necessary to eventually receive federal funds for
building the project. Its purpose is to narrow the number of possible alternatives that
will advance into the federal environmental impact study or EIS. Through the EIS
process, a locally preferred alternative for the corridor will be selected. Once a locally
preferred alternative is selected and both federal and local funds are in place,
construction of the project can begin.
Background
In the Lake Oswego to Portland corridor, Highway 43 serves as the primary north/south
route for cars, busses and trucks between the two cities. Existing traffic volumes on
Highway 43 create substantial congestion during the peak hours. Traffic volume
forecasts indicate congestion will continue to increase. Substantial highway
improvements for Highway 43 have been ruled out in earlier studies due to
environmental and community character impacts. However, multiple studies have
recommended consideration of transit along the publicly-owned Willamette Shoreline
right-of-way.
Also, as part of Metro's Willamette River Greenway vision, a trail is planned to run along
the west side of the river from Willamette Park in Portland to downtown Lake Oswego.
In 1988, a consortium of local government agencies purchased the Willamette Shoreline
railway to preserve the corridor for future transit services. This Consortium includes all
the project partners listed above. The Consortium manages and maintains the rail right-
of-way and the Oregon Electric Railroad Society operates an excursion trolley service
between Lake Oswego and Portland on this rail line.
In May 2006, the City Council adopted the City of Lake Oswego Downtown Transit
Alternatives Advisory Committee (DTAAC) recommendations for preliminary transit
alternatives for downtown Lake Oswego. The DTAAC concluded that a streetcar, with
multiple stops along State Street, is the type of transit and alignment that will best
achieve the community's goals. The committee also determined there's a need for
specially designed park-and-ride facilities in both downtown Lake Oswego and on its
periphery in order to serve future transit riders.
Alternatives Analysis Study
The Alternative Analysis followed on the heels of the DTAAC work. The Alternative
Analysis summary report was completed by Metro in 2007. A number of alternatives
were evaluated as part of the study, several of which were screened out. Those 65
eliminated included widening of Highway 43, providing a reversible lane on Highway 43,
operating a river transit on the Willamette River, providing Bus Rapid Transit on
adjacent corridors including Boones Ferry, Taylors Ferry and Terwilliger, and operating a
streetcar on Highway 43 south of the Sellwood Bridge.
The three alternatives which will be carried forward to the draft environmental impact
statement (DEIS) are: the No-Build, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on Highway 43 and Streetcar
alternatives. Both the BRT and Streetcar alternatives could include a continuous trail
the length of the corridor.
Key issues for project are:
• The northerly alignment of the streetcar in the John's Landing area on either the
Willamette Shoreline right-of-way or Macadam Avenue (Highway 43)
• A mid-stopping point for the project near the Sellwood Bridge at Nevada Avenue
• The streetcar operating through the Dunthorpe neighborhood
• Two alternative terminus locations in Lake Oswego: one adjacent to the Safeway
block on 5th Avenue and one adjacent to Albertson's along the east side of State
Street.
® Use of the existing Willamette Shoreline right-of-way which could leverage a
large amount of federal funds. This in turn would minimize the amount of local
funds needed for the project.
To assist with these and other issues, the City has contracted with Roger Martin and
Associates. The firm is providing strategic planning, public outreach and
communications services to help ensure that the best outcome for the project is
achieved for Lake Oswego.
Next Steps and Upcoming City Council Considerations
The project timeline is being advanced in order to take advantage of federal funding
opportunities for streetcar projects in the next few years. As such, the DEIS is expected
to begin this June. Also, between now and June, Metro will be working on a refinement
study of the alignment in the John's Landing area and the two terminus locations in Lake
Oswego.
An intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the partnering agencies will define a
funding plan for this work. It will also define financial obligations for each of the
benefiting partners. The IGA is expected t❑ be ready for City Council consideration in
February.

West End Building Decision and City Facility Assessment
Project Team: Director of Capital Projects,
City Manager's Office
Budget: The building was purchased for$20 million. The City is currently
paying$800,000 per year in interest on the short term variable
interest loan that was taken out to finance the property.
Council Action: City Council decided to purchase the property in July 2006.
The City Council formally accepted the Community Center Plan
Steering Committee's report in July 2007. The report was a
conceptual plan for a possible community center at the West End
Building.
In November 2007,the Council placed an advisory vote on
whether the City should retain ownership of the building. Voters
advised to keep the building.
In May 2008, the Council asked voters to approve a general
obligation bond measure to provide funds to pay off the short
term loan for the property. The measure failed.
Next Steps: City Council is expected to consider this West End Building issue at
its earliest convenience. Information that has been collected to-
date will be presented to City Council. Council will have the
opportunity to meet with the consultants that produced much of
this information.
As part of the deliberations on the West End Building, there may
be opportunities to address deficiencies with one or more of the
City's existing facilities. Outside of this, City Council may also
want to consider a more strategic approach to facility
management based on the level of deficiencies found in each of
the City buildings.
67
West End Building Decision and City Facility Assessment
Background
In 2006, the City purchased the 14-acre Safeco Insurance property for$20 million as a
possible site for an inter-generational community center. The community center plan is
essentially on hold. The City is currently paying just under$800,000 per year in interest
on the short-term line of credit for the $20 million.
Currently, both the Parks and Recreation department and the LOIS project staff are
temporarily housed in the West End Building. The building and site are also used for a
variety of public and private meetings and events.
With the community center plan on hold and concerns being raised about the purchase
of the property, an advisory vote to keep the WEB property took place in November
2007. The measure was approved by a 54%to 46% margin. The following May, a $20
million General Obligation bond measure to provide permanent financing for the
property failed 57%to 43%.
This past July, City Council adopted a process that is intended to lead to a decision on
the West End property. The process includes gathering information relevant to the
West End Building, assessing the City's existing facilities, providing opportunities for the
public to learn about the building and the property, and receiving feedback from citizens
prior to making a decision.
Information that has been gathered includes:
▪ A building condition and office space assessment report on nine key City facilities
® An updated appraisal of the WEB property
® A market analysis of the property
▪ An expert panel review of the issues associated with the property
▪ A list of possible options for the WEB as well as other City facilities
▪ Public opinion research on City facilities and the WEB
■ An online citizen survey
Cost information for the various possible options is still being developed and will be
presented to Council in the near future.
City Facilities Assessment
One added benefit of this work has been to gain a better understanding of the level of
deficiencies with key City facilities. Although building condition deficiencies exist with
all City facilities, the ones that are most critical are City Hall and the Maintenance
Services Building. These two buildings also have significant space issues. Within City
Hall, Police and LOCOM have significant issues. The Public Library is in relatively good
condition; however, it is considerably undersized. Lastly, the South Shore Fire Station
has both building condition and functionality deficiencies.
69
Next Steps
City Council is expected to consider this West End Building issue at its earliest
convenience. Information that has been collected to-date will be presented to City
Council. Council will have the opportunity to meet with the consultants that produced
much of this information.
As part of the deliberations on the West End Building, there may be opportunities to
address deficiencies with one or more of the City's existing facilities. Outside of this,
City Council may also want to consider a more strategic approach to facility
management based on the level of deficiencies found in each of the City buildings.

Community Visioning Process
• Project Lead: Building and Planning Services Director
Budget: A budget for the Visioning process has not been established yet.
Council Action: No official Council action yet. The 2008 City Council supported the idea of a
Visioning Project but proposed it be expanded to address the broadest
questions about the future of Lake Oswego, including such topics as business
and economic development, housing, parks, education, public safety,
facilities and library services. The 2008 Council deferred commitment to a
Visioning Project so that the 2009 newly elected Mayor and Council could
establish the project scope and direction.
Next Steps: The City Council will be asked to adopt/support the visioning process
which will begin with a lecture/discussion series, the goal of which is to
stimulate community thinking about the future.
71
Visioning Project
What is Visioning?
In simple terms, a visioning process invites everyone in the community to describe the
characteristics they most want Lake Oswego to have 20, 30 or 40 more years in the
future. Where a consensus can be found about that desired future, the community can
adopt a plan and implementing measures to achieve the desired outcomes. A quality
visioning process should serve as a vehicle for broad and innovative community
engagement with the goal of identifying shared values, generating a shared sense of
direction, creating a framework for future community decisions and fostering new
involvement and leadership among citizens who may not have been previously active in
local government.
A Visioning Project is centered around four key questions, each with a corresponding
work product:
• Where are we now? Result: Community Profile with descriptive information and
broad community values.
• Where are we going? Result: Trend Statement with information on trends and a
probable future scenario.
• Where do we want to be? Result:A Vision Statement outlining the community's
preferred scenario/vision for the future.
• How do we get there? Result:An Action Plan with goals, strategies and actions,
action agendas and priorities for implementation.
Central to a visioning process is an active community engagement/public dialogue with the
goal of stimulating the community to think about and plan for the future.
Background
In the fall of 2007,the Planning Commission recommended that the City conduct a visioning
process to help provide guidance to neighborhoods who wished to prepare or update
neighborhood plans. Specifically, the Commission stated that broad City-wide direction was
needed regarding sustainability, affordable housing, density, mobility, and aging in place.
The 2008 City Council supported the idea of a Visioning Project but proposed it be
expanded to address the broadest questions about the future of Lake Oswego, including
such topics as business and economic development, housing, parks, education, public
safety, facilities and library services. The 2008 Council deferred commitment to a Visioning
Project so that the 2009 newly elected Mayor and Council could establish the project scope
and direction.
The Visioning project can be scaled to serve the needs of the Periodic
Review/Comprehensive Plan Update process and help identify needed changes to the
73
Comprehensive Plan and codes, or it can be expanded to address broader community
issues. The decision of scope will necessarily have budget and staffing implications.
Next Steps
The City Council will be asked to adopt/support the visioning process which will begin with a
lecture/discussion series, the goal of which is to stimulate community thinking about the
future.
