City Council Meeting - May 27, 2025

The City of Tigard held a City Council meeting on May 27, 2025, which included the Local Contract Review Board and Town Center Development Agency sessions. Key procurement-related actions included the unanimous approval of the consent agenda, which covered routine contract approvals and the Red Rock Creek stabilization and enhancement project. The council also discussed and passed amendments to the municipal code regarding temporary encroachments in the right-of-way, establishing a permitting process for items like shipping containers and construction materials, with enforcement and fee structures clarified. Additionally, the council declared a city-owned property at 13001 Southwest Gallen Court as surplus real property, approving its sale to return funds to the utility fund. The Town Center Development Agency ratified a purchase and sale agreement for a significant property acquisition in the Tiger Triangle area, funded through TIFF and CIP funds totaling approximately $10.2 million, including a loan to be repaid by future tax increments. This acquisition aims to create new parkland, support Red Rock Creek stabilization, and enable potential public-private partnerships for housing development, marking a major capital investment for the community. Budget amendments reflecting these changes were recommended for upcoming fiscal years.
