City Council Meeting - May 6, 2025

The City of Tigard held a City Council and Local Contract Review Board meeting on May 6, 2025, which included several proclamations and community recognitions. Key procurement-related discussions focused on the approval of an exemption from competitive sealed bidding for the Police and Public Works Facility project, allowing the use of a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) delivery method to engage a contractor early in the design phase. The council unanimously approved Local Contract Review Board Resolution 25-01 to grant this exemption, facilitating the project's progress. Additionally, the council discussed the expiration and potential redesignation of the Tigard Lake OGO Enterprise Zone, a tax incentive program aimed at economic development. After reviewing economic data and job creation metrics, the council voted 6-1 to pursue redesignation of the zone excluding the portion in Lake Oswego, emphasizing alignment with city economic goals. The meeting also included a briefing on food cart regulations and community feedback, as well as a detailed presentation on downtown and Tiger Triangle parking management data, with plans for continued data collection, community notification, and enforcement starting in September. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting beyond the contract method approval for the public works facility project.
