TRANSCRIPT
Every resident and property owner of Tigard relies on Public Works each day for some type of service. This includes providing excellent drinking water, efficient conveyance systems for sewage and stormwater, street maintenance, signage and signals for traffic safety, maintenance of our beautiful parks and trails, and much more. And every member of Tigard’s Public Works Department takes this responsibility seriously and works hard to achieve the highest levels of service with our limited resources.
Our services to the community go beyond normal daily maintenance. Our department is responsible for the planning and completion of the capital improvement program (CIP) each year. We also play a key role in the review and inspection of privately-developed projects. Whether public or private funds are involved, we work closely with other city departments to help maintain the quality of our community as new projects are planned and completed.
Day in and day out, the number one goal for our department is to provide exceptional customer service to our residents and businesses. I am proud to lead and support our Public Works employees in their efforts to serve Tigard.
If you have questions regarding the services being provided, comments or suggestions for changes, requests for additional services, or just want to let us know how we are doing, please contact us at 503-718-2591.
Brian RagerCity of TigardPublic Works Director
It is no exaggeration to say that every hour of every day Tigard’s Public Works Department stands ready to provide the essential services needed to ensure that our public infrastructure is designed, built, maintained and repaired to support the high quality of life Tigard residents and businesses expect and deserve. On behalf of the dedicated professionals that make up the Public Works Department, it is my privilege to present the Department’s 2016 Annual Report.

DESIGN & DELIVERCapital improvement projects are a big part of Public Works’ role in building for the future. Engineering is the city’s lead division in planning, design and construction management. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) establishes a five-year plan for improvements to the community’s infrastructure.
Status: Complete
Project Description: Added missing sidewalks, curbs and stormwater drainage improvements along both streets generally north and east of Greenburg Road. This project was expanded to include a pedestrian crossing of Greenburg Road at 95th Avenue.
Project Funding: Of the $234,000 total project cost, $200,000 was provided from a Washington County Community Development Block Grant. The city’s matching portion was provided by gas tax funds.
Project Results• Filled crucial gaps on two primary walking routes and improved safety at
a popular school bus stop.• Sidewalks constructed of environmentally-friendly porous concrete.
95th Avenue & North Dakota Street Sidewalks
DESIGN&
DELIVERStatus: Complete
Project Description: New through lanes and left-turn lanes at selected approaches to the intersection; better storm drainage; new traffic control signals; sidewalks; bike lanes; street trees and landscape islands.
Project Funding: $11.4m, including $4.4m County, $3m Federal, $944,630 State
Project Results• Increased safety for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. This intersection
had one of the highest accident rates of any intersection in Tigard.• Tigard Police filed an average of 21 crash reports per year in the
project area from 2010 through 2014. Only four crash reports have been filed in the year since the project was completed; none of those four involved pedestrians or bicyclists.
• Significant increase in vehicular capacity.
Expected Completion: Summer 2017
Project Description: This project creates a reliable water system that delivers high-quality drinking water from the Clackamas River to the communities of Lake Oswego and Tigard. In August 2008, the cities of Lake Oswego and Tigard formally endorsed a partnership agreement for sharing drinking water resources and costs. The Partnership project upgraded, upsized and expanded six major facilities.
Project Funding: The current estimate of costs for the program (as of summer 2016) is $254 million. The Partnership Agreement allocates 38.2% of this cost to Lake Oswego and 61.8% to Tigard.
Project Results• A smart investment. Clean drinking water is vital to the health and
economy of our communities.• Clean, good tasting water year-round. Our new water system will
provide reliable, consistently high-quality drinking water—all for a few cents per gallon.
• Partnering saves money. Tigard customers benefit by obtaining access to a high-quality water source and ownership in a state-of-the-art, seismically safe water supply system.
• Built to last. The new water system is the first in Oregon designed and constructed to withstand major earthquakes.

Where Our Work is Changing
Facing the Future
• We will monitor the costs of doing our business and communicate with council and the public as needs arise.
• Public Works will develop a five-year plan to address equipment and facility needs.
• As new homes in Tigard are occupied, Public Works staff and equipment will be added; funding from these new ratepayers will cover these costs.
Parks and TrailsTigard has a wonderful vision for walkability and livability; maintaining the systems that support this vision is a challenge.Tigard has more acres of park land per capita than the national average. Yet we spend significantly less per acre than average. This means Tigard has a backlog of parks in need of maintenance, in addition to park properties to develop.
Growth and Aging InfrastructureDevelopment activity will result in substantial growth in infrastructure. We will need to expand our resources to handle this new demand while also addressing the challenges of existing infrastructure deteriorating, especially our buried pipes and eroding stream channels.
Space and FacilitiesOur existing Public Works buildings and workspaces are inadequate for the level of service provided.
