City Council Meeting - June 24, 2025

The City Council meeting of Tigard on June 24, 2025, included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on financial and capital projects. The council unanimously approved Resolution 25-25 authorizing the sale of water system revenue refunding bonds to refinance a 2015 bond issuance, aiming to take advantage of favorable interest rates. Additionally, the Town Center Development Agency approved Resolution 25-02 to authorize $5.6 million in new debt to acquire the former Regal Cinema site, including borrowing costs and contingency funds. The council also reviewed solid waste franchise fees, discussing rate adjustments for waste haulers Pride Disposal and Waste Management, with a focus on maintaining a 10% profitability rate amid rising disposal and operational costs. Two rate increase options were considered, with council members favoring a targeted increase for residential roll cart customers. Furthermore, the council discussed the downtown parking management program, considering options to proceed with enforcement, extend data collection, or pause for further community engagement and integration with economic development plans. Staff recommended option three to extend data collection and explore alternative parking management methods. The meeting also addressed council ground rules and procedural clarifications but contained no additional procurement actions.
