City Council Meeting - December 10, 2024

The City Council meeting of Tigard on December 10, 2024, included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The council approved a consent agenda that included a contract for McDonald Street Engineering Services aimed at improving sidewalks and pedestrian safety. Additionally, the council received a briefing on proposed amendments to the food cart development code, focusing on establishing clearer standards and processes for food carts and food cart pods, including considerations for system development charges (SDCs) related to permanent utility hookups. The council expressed support for differentiating between temporary food carts (three or fewer) and food cart pods (four or more), with SDCs applying to permanent structures. The meeting also featured presentations on community engagement efforts and appointments to various advisory boards and committees. No votes were taken on the food cart code amendments during this meeting, but the council provided feedback to guide future Planning Commission and council actions.
