City Council - workshop

Very well, everyone can wait with the multiprise.

Enregistrement en cours.

Bonsoir et bienvenue à la séance de travail du Conseil municipal de Thualatin du 14 septembre 2026. Le premier point à l'ordre du jour ce soir est une mise à jour et un rapport sur l'analyse contextualisée des besoins en logement dirigée par Erin et Teresa. Bienvenue. Je vous ai vu il y a seulement quelques heures.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I am Erin Engman for the report. I am the principal urbanist here in the city of Tualatin. And we are pleased to have Matt Krejci among us in person today. He works at Eco Northwest and helps us with all his excellent quantitative data. And we have a lot of things to discuss with you today. So, I know that we have 45 minutes to cover a lot of data and we want to leave time for questions. So without further ado, I give him the floor.

Red button activated. Thank you Erin. Thank you Mayor Bubéni and the municipal council. I thought I would have a few minutes to relax in the public, but we are directly there. So we will start. Merci encore de m'avoir invité ce soir. Ce soir, nous allons nous plonger dans beaucoup de données. Nous avons environ 31 diapositives. C'est un sujet assez dense. Je vais donc parcourir. J'ai tendance à parler de plus en plus vite quand je fais des présentations. N'hésitez donc pas à me dire de ralentir. Posez des questions, s'il vous plaît. Tonight, we're going to talk about quantitative analysis. We're going to look at the other elements to come regarding these housing projects. And then we'll give you an overview of the rest. I was there a month ago, a month and a half ago, to launch these projects. And for the benefit of all, it's part of a series of projects aimed at helping to make political decisions regarding housing here in Atua Latam. There are so many acronyms in all this. We will repeat them again. There is the analysis of the capacity of housing, the HCA, and the contextualized analysis of housing needs. It is the state that invented these terms, not us, not us. And later, this third section will be the HPS, the housing production strategy, and this is where it becomes really interesting because this is where political choices reside for you, members of the council. This is where we wonder what to do about it. What are the measures we can take here in the city to make housing more affordable and accessible to all in the community? Currently, we are working on the HCA and the CHN. We are in the middle of the second stage of our calendar. We discussed with your urban planning commission about a month ago and provided them with this series of quantitative data. We will come back later this year for the third part of this work where we will talk about the BLI, that is to say the Inventory of Constructible Areas. Call yourself the HCA corresponds a little to the offer and the CHN corresponds a little to the demand, isn't it? The Inventory of Constructible Areas is therefore the element that examines each property in Latin to determine whether it is suitable for the development of new housing or rehabilitation. We will look at all these interesting maps later this year. Today, we will review the quantitative data for the CHN. We will talk about the approachability as it comes out of some of these data. We are going to discuss the demography of the community, its evolution, what it means for the households here and the way in which all this is articulated to form a database for these crucial political conversations. We are going to start with this graphic. We really like this graphic at ECHO. I think the first time I came before your council, we presented this without the additional context on the sides. Sur ce graphique en forme de maison, si vous regardez chacun des piliers, chacune des colonnes, vous verrez qu'il aligne le revenu du ménage avec ce qu'il peut se permettre en termes de logement. Il répond donc à la question, si votre ménage gagne telle somme, quel logement pouvez-vous acheter ou louer ? could go from the lowest income on the left to the highest income on the right. These data are based on the median income of the area. In this case, the zone E corresponds to the Portland region. That is to say, the 25 cities divided into three counties. The median income of the area is therefore about $130,000 per year. And this corresponds to the fourth column. Starting from the left, Si vous suivez la logique ici, si vous gagnez le revenu médian de la zone, vous pouvez vous permettre un loyer d'un peu plus de 3,000 dollars par mois ou un logement entre 320 et environ 390,000 dollars. Vous verrez quelques flèches. Est-ce que cet appareil possède un pointeur? Oui. You will see some context elements that we have added here. The current median income is about $ 1,800. And so your median income is here. So you see, by comparing these data, it seems relatively affordable. The median sales price of a house is about $ 640,000. So it's like out of the graph here. Once again, what we are trying to do tonight is to anchor all these conversations in the quantitative data that we observe. And this is one of the main graphics that we like to use to make this link between the income of households and the cost of housing. So, some good news. Le revenu des ménages à augmenter actuellement est dans le comté de Washington. Ici, ces données concernent les changements survenus il y a environ 15 ans. Nous essayons toujours d'utiliser le dernier ensemble de données. 2024 est la donnée la plus récente dont nous disposons. So the graph on the left here, you see the revenues of 2010 and also of this last year of data, 2024. Thus, overall, in all these geographical areas, the revenues have increased. There is about a third of the current housing in Latin America, and this corresponds to the Portland region, which earns more than $152,000 per year. There is therefore a group of people who are above this median revenue of the area. So it's good, it's good to look at that. Here is the opposite of the story, that is to say that if the revenues have increased, the cost of housing too. And in fact, the cost of housing has increased at a faster rate than the revenues of the houses. So you can see on the right here, it's about the evolution of the price of housing.

You have it in Latin and the... Oh, I should have done that in the colors of the brand, you have it in Latin, but I didn't do it, but I didn't do it. I apologize.

So it's this kind of red color. There, you have Latin, you are in some way in the middle with some of your homologous cities here in the region. Some cities in the county of Clacamas, eastward, have average housing prices higher. You can see the comparison with some other communities in the county of Washington. So it's great when the revenues increase, but they don't follow the rhythm of housing costs. This slide examines the relationship between income and housing. This one is a bit complex to analyze, but I really like this ratio of real estate value to income. So basically, if you take the value of your housing, you can simply go to Zillow to find your house, look at your taxes to see the real market value. All this is a bit imprecise, isn't it? But you simply determine the value of your house, then you divide by your income. You get this relationship between your income and your home. So we're looking for golf scores here. So the lower it is, the better it is, isn't it? Thus, the higher your income is in relation to the value of your housing, the more likely you are to be able to afford this housing. So here we are examining again communities comparable to Tualatin. We have the county of Washington in Oregon, there on the right. And we look again at the data from 2010 and 2024. You will see that a typical measure or a healthy balance between income and cost of housing is between 3 and 4, approximately. This means that this home does not take too much of its income to pay for its housing. And as the graph shows, you will see that almost all the communities are above this line. In fact, all the communities are above this line, except Sherwood in 2010, which was just at the mark of 4. Tuas Latin is now, in 2024, around 6. This simply means, once again, that this relationship between income and housing is tense for people. The increase in housing costs means that the relationship with the income is really in dire straits. We talked about the fact that, in Latin, one of the graphs showed rents around $800 per month. What are we looking at here on the left side of the slide? On the right side of the slide, you see a graph showing different types of rental units. Studio, one room, two rooms, three rooms. Encore une fois, par rapport à vos villes comparables, les loyers sont plus bas dans la région, mais nous allons commencer à réfléchir et revenir sur cette relation avec ce que les ménages peuvent se permettre. Tualatin a un âge moyen comparativement plus jeune que les autres zones géographiques ici dans la région. Beaucoup de familles à Tualatin? Je sais que vous avez beaucoup d'événements familiaux. Amusant. Notre famille organise le... The Ladybug Run, almost every year, is amazing. And I'm always impressed when we come to the park here by the number of families who are right here. Our company has organized its annual summer picnic just across from here. And we said to ourselves, wow, there are a lot of families. So you see this here. While this is happening, if you look on the right side of the graph, the part of your community that is aging is really increasing. So in 2010, about 11% of the community of Tualatin was over 60 years old. It is now 21%. So the composition, the demographic composition of your community is changing. So even though you still have a lot of families, at a younger average age, there are a lot more seniors in the community. By looking at the composition of the households here, we have a higher part of large families or households that have adults living together. So it simply shows on the left side, you have the distribution of the size of the households. 42% of the households are three or more people, less than 40% are in Portland and throughout Oregon. I think that this shows a large part of the family composition within the community. When we made a presentation to the Urbanism Commission, we had a wonderful conversation afterwards and there were some questions about people with disabilities. They wanted more data on people with disabilities within the community and on access to housing. I mentioned the urbanism commission and I will now mention to your council that a part of the CHN is this very long and dense annex. And so there is a lot of data in there and when it will be ready to be shared with your council, there will be even more information here. By examining the community, the demography of the community and people with disabilities in particular in depth. And so, I wanted to bring out some of this information given the conversation we had with the Urbanism Commission here. At a general level, about 10% of the population of Tualatin has one or more disabilities. This graph shows different types of disabilities according to the geographical areas. We will come back to this in a moment. Concerne la race et l'ethnicité, nous examinons ici les données démographiques de TuaLatin sous cet angle. Un point important à souligner ici est que, si vous regardez le graphique de droite, la part de la communauté hispanique à TuaLatin a rapidement augmenté depuis 2010. En 2010, environ 16% de la communauté s'identifiait comme hispanique, latino ou latina. Aujourd'hui, ce chiffre atteint 23%. Disparities in terms of housing according to the occupation status. We like to cross these data a lot. We are examining here the occupation status. The occupation status concerns either ownership or rental. And by looking at race and ethnicity, we answer the question, is the status identical according to the communities? Here, you have reached, this is not the case. If you look, let's see, is it? Oh no, I went back. I thought I had surrounded this one too, but this is not the case. Look, I know there are six bars here. Look at the three bars on the right. These are data from 2024. These data show in burgundy and brown the housing occupied by tenants and in green those occupied by owners. Si vous regardez la cinquième colonne en partant de la gauche, vous verrez que près de 80% de la communauté hispanique de Tualatin est locataire, alors que 66% et blancs non-hispaniques sont propriétaires. Il existe donc une disparité entre les différents groupes démographiques de la communauté. Aaron and I discussed this morning with the work group on aging and we had an excellent conversation on the challenges of seniors here in Tualatin in housing. And a large part of this comes back to the cost, doesn't it? The financial burden on housing is another framework that we use in our work. It allows us to assess the difficulty that households have to assume the cost of their housing. The main measure of this financial burden is when a household spends 30% or more of its income on its housing costs. This does not only concern the rent or mortgage, but also the associated costs such as charges, taxes and maintenance. The only element that is not included in this charge and that is often mentioned are investment expenses. So if you have to replace your roof or face another major investment expense, this is generally not included. It is here to take into account these recurring monthly costs. The financial burden threshold used as an indicator is about 30%. Homes are considered to be heavily impacted when they devote 50% or more of their income to these housing costs. The graph on the left shows the financial burden by occupancy status in Tualatin. You will notice, remember that in comparison with other cities in the region, the rents in Tualatin were lower, weren't they? About $ 1,800 per month. However, this does not show the situation as a whole, because you see that the tenants, about 51% of them, if my calculation is fast and correct, are financially overcharged. And 27% of these tenants are under a very heavy financial burden. In total, about 35% of all Tualatin households are financially overloaded. In the context of the conversation with the work group on aging this morning, a question was raised concerning the owners facing an important or very important financial burden. We had an excellent discussion about the fact that many people with fixed income were able to buy their house a long time ago, while other costs, such as taxes and co-ownership charges, continue to increase. The financial surcharge affects everyone, but it is particularly acute for tenants. To go back to people with disabilities, we are trying here to show some disparities in the relationship between cost of housing and affordability. This shows that 12% of people with disabilities suffer a higher financial burden than the general population. Si nous examinons l'âge du chef de ménage confronté à cette charge financière, on peut voir que cela concerne les deux extrémités. Les personnes plus jeunes et plus âgées sont plus susceptibles d'être financièrement surchargées, ce qui est les personnes qui occupent leur premier emploi ou ont du mal à en trouver un au début de leur carrière, ainsi que celles avec des revenus fixes rencontrent plus de difficultés. Passons en revue quelques uns des points clés de la présentation de ce soir. Le revenu médian des ménages dans la zone est d'environ 130 $ par an. Le prix de vente médian d'une maison ici à Tualatin est de 640 $. Les revenus ont augmenté, mais pas aussi vite que le coût du logement. Renting in Tualatin is clearly more affordable than being a landlord, but once again, if we look at the financial burden, it is particularly high for community tenants. Tualatin is aging and seniors are facing housing challenges such as higher financial burden rates. Once again, this is a trend that we observe there. And by examining race and ethnicity within the community, there is a disparity in the occupancy status, especially with the Hispanic community, which is mostly homeless. And it's a growing part of your community. That's the in-depth analysis of all this data. I would be happy to answer your questions on this subject. Dans le cadre de ce travail, de cette phase de travail, nous collaborons étroitement avec votre personnel pour mener des actions de concertation. Comme je l'ai mentionné ce matin, nous avons rencontré le groupe de travail sur le vieillissement et avons eu une excellente discussion. Nous avons recueilli des retours très utiles sur les personnes à un revenu fixe et le besoin de logements accessibles. C'est un point que je n'ai pas encore abordé ce soir, mais une partie... This work consists of considering the need for accessible housing, i.e. housing equipped with doors adapted to the wheelchair, support bars in the bathroom, counter, accessible height, etc. We have therefore discussed some of these aspects. This consultation with different groups of community discussions at Tuas Latin continues and we will have more information on this subject. There is also a historical analysis that examines the development models of housing and current housing exclusions and we will talk about it again during the next session. Here are the discussion questions that I prepared for your advice tonight and I submit them to your reflection. Je suis également ravi de répondre à toutes vos questions sur ce travail du mieux que je peux, mais nous aimerions savoir comment ces tendances et ces données correspondent à votre compréhension de la situation du marché immobilier actuel atteint et comment les différentes communautés font face aux obstacles au logement dans la ville. Je m'arrête donc là, Madame la maire, et je vous rends la parole.

Des questions ou commentaires pour Matt et Erin ?

Merci beaucoup pour ces informations. C'est beaucoup d'informations. C'est utile de les avoir? Je suis curieuse de savoir concernant le croisement des groupes, si nous avons des informations sur, par exemple, les personnes handicapées et hispaniques ou ce genre de double facteur de risque.

Excellent question, Councilor Brooks. Yes, we have all this information, and as I said, it is simply, as you suggested, to cross them to see how these communities could be put to the test. We have examined this in different ways. We have examined, you know, the occupation according to race and ethnicity. I can check if there is a particular type of relationship that you would like to explore. We can, I can see if this is in the detailed annex that I talked about, and if not, it will be necessary to ask our technical team to create a cross-table to examine this relationship.

Well, for me, I think it would be around aging, disability and race.

Okay, very good.

Thank you. Thank you. And then my other question is, when we do community awareness, have we worked with Saint Andrews?

I don't know if Saint Andrews is on our list, but we can check. Is it a confessional organization?

It's a confessional organization and they did community work and awareness around housing, especially for the Hispanic community. Wonderful. So I think it would be a really good place for... And I say yes, Saint Anthony's.

Saint Anthony's.

Sorry. Saint Anthony's. I came back from vacation. Like, literally last night.

Oh, great. We will work with the team to collaborate with them.

Okay, thank you very much.

Any other comments, advice, Gonzales? Thank you very much for the information about the aging of the population. The costs are increasing. What information do you have on people who want to move from a two-story family house to a full-fledged house? I know that creating a work group to make Tualatin more welcoming for the elderly would be very important, with good ramps, good handles, one level, and this kind of thing. Have you had an idea of the will of the population to stay in Tualatin? If Tualatin became a city more adapted to aging, for this population, because they have different needs? That's an excellent question, advisor Gonzales, and it was really a theme in the conversation we had this morning with the work group on aging. Je me souviens d'une partie de la conversation où les gens parlaient du fait qu'on peut posséder une maison où notre richesse est contenue dans cette maison. Et donc, sur le papier, vous savez, il pourrait sembler que certains aînés sont riches alors qu'en fait, vous savez, la richesse, le capital est dans cette maison et ils ont du mal à trouver un endroit qui soit, vous savez, comparable ou qui réponde à leurs besoins au sein de la communauté. C'est vraiment quelque chose que nous avons entendu ce matin. Les gens cherchent le bon type de logement au sein de la communauté, mais ont du mal à le trouver.

On a mentionné un désir ou un besoin pour un programme pour les plus de 5 ans. Un type de développement similaire. Est-ce que Tiger a le désir d'avoir quelque chose de semblable? On s'est réuni à...

Thank you. Thank you for all this excellent information. I'm curious, the term and the conditions you use for disability, are they an industrial norm?

That's a good question. Counselor?

Explicitly focused on the aging population, so I'm curious to know why you don't collect that this information is an industrial norm? Or could you help me understand? Les seules personnes en situation de handicap qui subissent des handicaps. C'est pourquoi j'essaye de comprendre. Pourquoi.

D'accord, merci.

Comme ça.

Merci, conseillère. Les données ne concernent pas uniquement les seniors ou les personnes en situation de handicap parmi les données que nous examinons. Donc, c'est.

D'accord, donc la connotation est certainement présente, ou du moins selon mon interprétation de ce qui a été dit. Donc, merci de m'avoir corrigé à ce sujet. And I'm curious to know if you think that these data are influenced by the high number of homes for seniors and assisted living facilities that we have in our community, and how you carry out these recoupments.

Interesting. Yes, yes. Well, I think, as you said, that there is a relationship between age and disability. Sometimes, yes. So I think that could have a link. That's it, yes.

Okay, and I just wanted to point out that I noted that there has been a greater growth of our BIPOC populations between 2010 and 2024. I always appreciate that the number of our Hispanic, Latino and Latina populations is... However, there is a greater increase at this level. So I just want to make sure that when we have these conversations, all the community components are... And especially to raise awareness.

Your first question corresponds exactly to what I was expecting.

And I just see this, that there are disparities, because, you know, we work so hard to improve the community, to attract these well-paid jobs, and then we make it less affordable for others. So it's a big dilemma for us. And I'm just wondering, for people who rent an apartment for $1,100, they can afford it, but does it leave them a margin to save, knowing that they have a mountain to climb to access property?

That's an excellent question, and I think that indeed, some quantitative data is, once again, it is crucial to exchange with people individually to understand their experience within the community. But what quantitative data shows is that tenants are more heavily impacted by costs than owners. So yes, even if the median rent is lower, this population is particularly affected by housing costs.

Et je sais que nous ne sommes qu'au début du processus, mais arrivera-t-on à des recommandations concrètes pour, par exemple, encourager la construction de logements pour les seniors et les personnes handicapées, pour faciliter l'accès en fauteuil roulant?

Au sein de ces projets, juste un peu. Yes, because the housing production strategy, the HPS, which is the third project that the staff will undertake next year, is really where we address political decisions and actions, where we begin to talk about implementation at the local level. However, these projects certainly contain reflections on what is happening in the community and on the measures that you could take So it is not yet entirely turned towards action, but we are moving in this direction.

Any other comments or questions?

Yes, I think, as the President said, by the interim of the Council, that this fully corresponds to my understanding of what we have observed in recent years regarding the current cost of living for rents as well as for purchases. They did a good job to summarize everything. I come back to what the president of the Prat council mentioned, the fact that it's a bit...

The fact that it's a bit... Not deceitful, but to say that you have the third lowest rent at $ 1,800.

What I hear all the time from residents is that $ 1,800 is not an unreasonable sum for those who seek to live. And I hear that in several places, especially in the apartment complexes that we manage. Most of these people take apartments of three rooms with three tenants. And they barely manage to pay.

C'est assez trompeur, car oui, les loyers sont bas là-bas, mais pour la plupart des gens, comme vous le dites, c'est difficile d'y arriver, surtout si on est tout seul.

Vous prenez des colocataires et d'autres personnes dans ce genre. Ma question tourne donc autour du fait que, quand on regarde les locations et les membres du foyer, si c'est moi et mes trois copains, dans un appartement, est-ce considéré comme quatre membres du foyer, ou est-ce qu'on pense vraiment qu'il n'y en a qu'un ? Comment est-ce que c'est compté ?

Yes, this home is considered as adults living together, adults without kinship, living together. It's captured as such. We have some data on this subject in the Independent, and not just think that it's dirty, yes. I mean, yes, as long as everyone declares their residence during the American census. So yes, it would be a home, I think the term is not familiar.

Once again, for me, the important thing is to reflect if 3 or 4 revenues are combined just to pay this rent.

It goes as far as you are heavily indebted, it's over 50%. Exactly, Mr. Le Maire. And I appreciate your question. It also reflects, honestly, that the quantitative data that goes through the census, then that is put in a tabloid, only tells part of the story, doesn't it? So I really appreciate this evening's conversation and the discussion groups we work with, because hearing these testimonies of $800, when we are four in this housing and the difficulties to access the property. Another thing we heard this morning is that people really have a hard time finding first access housing in the community. Et s'il s'agit d'un logement de premier accès, ce serait un appartement qui ne convient pas à leur famille, qui ne répond pas à leurs besoins. Donc, j'ai hâte de m'engager davantage avec votre communauté et de m'assurer que ces données sont mariées avec les données quantitatives pour raconter une meilleure histoire.

Well, while you're still here, I know you're going to stay, but you did a fantastic job with the working group today. I just wanted to congratulate you, you were very involved and you made them talk. I think you did a fantastic job.

I don't know if I have a slide left here, which is just an overview of what happens next. So we will be in front of your urban planning commission in mid-October, then back in front of your council in early November. C'est là que nous pourrons examiner l'inventaire des terrains constructibles. J'ai toujours aimé faire ce travail. C'est vraiment intéressant de regarder la carte, de voir où se trouve le logement et où est le potentiel de nouveaux logements. Voilà, tout cela arrive bientôt. Il y a eu quelques autres commentaires lors des réunions précédentes pour lesquelles nous recherchons encore des informations pour vous. L'un d'eux concernait l'eau. So the DLCD is the state's method for establishing these allocation objectives for each city. We work with the DLCD teams to obtain a better synthesis of this information for you. There was another question, I think, from the Commission on Urbanism, concerning the BLI methods and their evolution. We will make sure to address all this at the next meeting. So we have not lost these topics. On this note, thank you very much. It's always a pleasure to be here in Tualatin, to be with you all.

Very well, our next point of the day tonight is the coordination of the river park project and the revitalization of the city center. Here is Queen Ikira, welcome. Hi everyone.

Good evening, Mr. Councilor. My name is Kyra, and I am the project manager for the parks and leisure departments. And we would like to thank you for the opportunity to present some really exciting projects tonight.

My name is Quinn Brunner, and I am the project manager for the city center revitalization project. These two projects, the river park and the city center revitalization project, are inextricably linked. We provide this joint update to celebrate two important stages of the project and to highlight how we intend to work together and where we plan to move forward. We have about 15 minutes of presentation and 12 slides. We will be happy to answer questions later.

I just want to briefly mention that Queen and I have been working very hard this past year to ensure that these projects are really unified. So we can't wait to move on to the next phase together and see all the beautiful things that we can accomplish with the community. In 2022, the $25 million obligation for parks and trails was adopted. The six areas that the obligation has decided to finance come from the park and leisure directorate plan. The six areas funded by the obligation are the sports fields, the replacement, the game equipment, the future, the acquisition of land, the road connections, the improvement of parks such as the Vétérance Plaza and finally the future river park to complete this obligation. Tonight, the approval of the architect's office will be in order, the landscaper who will design the future river park and will ensure the participation of the community. The basis of this work is based on the topographic survey already carried out on the site of archaeological studies, as well as an important part of natural restoration carried out by Tom Steiger and his park maintenance team. Without further ado, I would like to present to you the Berger Partnership cabinet, based in Seattle, in the state of Washington. One of the really great aspects of this cabinet is its experience. As you can see in the upper right corner, they worked on the seafront of the center of Olympia and the Maiden Bower Bay Park in Bellevue, as well as on the Riverfront Park in the Spokane region. It is Bergeritz Megma, this is how they call themselves. They really pushed us to see beyond the limits of ownership, their maintenance and their response to the call for offer. Nous sommes donc très enthousiastes à l'idée de les accueillir. Ils nous inciteront à imaginer ce que nous voulons voir et auquel nous n'avions pas encore pensé pour un site aussi contraint. Nous avons hâte de les intégrer et de bien démarrer avec eux en collaboration avec Walker Macy et l'équipe de Queen.

Taking a step back, we are officially entering the third phase of the revitalization project of the city center, which includes the creation of an urban planning framework and updating design standards. To carry out this work, as Kira mentioned, we are calling on Walker Macy. Walker Macy is the largest cabinet of urbanism and landscape architecture in the Northwest Pacific and they have worked on emblematic projects of the region, including the city center of Bend, the Japanese garden of Portland, Pioneer Courthouse Square and the original project of Tua Latin Commons. They have already begun to search in their archives and have found very useful documents concerning the initial design of our city center. The Walker Macy team will be led by Ken Peary, and I will include and list the other people involved. GLA Public Engagement, GBD Architects, Jet Planning, Walker Consultants who carry out our parking analysis, Leland Consulting Group who carry out an analysis of the real estate market, and finally Matt Brown who takes care of the development council with us. We have an exceptional team and among its many assets, its approach includes an early commitment of the owners and promoters, which we consider essential.

We will not only create a design framework and exceptional design standards, but we will also prepare the ground for future investments and redevelopment.

We plan to come back here in about a month and a half with Walker-Messi to present the third phase, to give a full overview of the process and Walker-Messi will be able to tell you a little more.

As you can see, this is the second slide where we find the same image and the same quote. It's a little internal joke, since Queen and I have been working on this project, this expression of project, a vision, is involuntarily become a phrase that we often say to ourselves. We even have a little hand sign, two projects, one vision. Queenie and I, when we walk in the corridors, we clap our hands and we continue. Our path is... This park, with the revitalization of the city center, will be one of the first projects authorized and built according to the new design standards of Walker Macy. This future park is located between the Tualatin River, the Lake of the Commons, the heart of the city center, and the Tualatin Community Park. He is therefore truly integrated in the city centre. We will ensure that Berger and Walker-Macy are closely aligned on what this vision will look like. The image you see is actually an aerial view of the Berger Partnership they have designed for us in their proposal and during their interview.

Thus, our team is already working very well together and we are planning to gather our

two teams of consultants for a workshop in the coming weeks in order to define how our teams will collaborate, to ensure that we know who is responsible for each decision and how to deliver all these elements in the right order so that our processes are carried out without addictions. However, we will take a few minutes today to highlight four points that Kira and I already know are crucial to coordinate. It is therefore our commitment strategy We want to ensure that our communication is unified because I do not think that the community will see it as two separate projects. We also focus on materials and finishes because we want the city center to look like an extension of the park and the park to look like an extension of the city center. We know that the façade of Bones Ferry Road will have a critical connection and we also know that the Thualatin River Greenway trail will have a pedestrian and cycle path crossing the park and connecting us to the city center. A fifth point that I would like to mention is that we know that the study of the passage at Thualatin-Sherwood level is another project that will have an important impact on these two works. Thus, when we gather our consulting teams in a few weeks, we will also talk about the sequence with this project to ensure that this project, a vision, not a gun, keeps this vision united. We will all work together, but not as well as a gesture of the hand. However, we will all work together there. I think I said what I was going to say about the commitment, but we will also have a common stand at the Pumpkin Regatta, which will probably be our first action of awareness including our consulting teams.

Oui, un événement n'est qu'une vision que lors du match de football du lycée de Tualatin contre celui de Tigard le 30 octobre.

Nous serons sur le terrain. Nous organiserons des groupes de discussion commun et nous assurerons de ne pas solliciter les mêmes groupes de... Nous allons également développer notre présence sur les réseaux sociaux et le faire de manière stratégique afin d'échelonner notre engagement.

Just quickly, we recognize that Boone's Ferry Road is a bit like La Voix Royale, as you know, there are 20,000 users who take Boone's Ferry Road. Thus, we have asked Burger Partnership to examine this facade and to collaborate with Walker Macy while he works on landscaping, so that they agree and complete themselves to create a fluid transition between the river, the park, Boone's Ferry, the city center, etc. This is one of the other areas on which we will combine our efforts.

Because we have pretty much everything. You all know the connection to the path, but determine how we know it will pass. I don't think this laser pointer works. Very well, but at its exit from the park, it runs Bouns Ferry Road to join Bangrover to the library or that it passes through the white parking near Jimenz, then on the other side of the library. There are a few different configurations that remain to be defined and on which we have to decide. We will carry out this work very soon and in collaboration. So there will inevitably be even more areas where we will collaborate on these projects together and we are delighted to work together and expand our project team.

Thank you for your time.

Questions for Quentin or Kira?

I just want to thank you for all the work of public awareness that you are going to do, because our park service in particular has been very effective in this area. And you know, if we want a final result that corresponds to the expectations of the community, this is how we have to proceed. This is how we have to proceed. Thank you. Any questions? Sorry, I have too many things in mind. Thank you very much for this presentation. Je suis très enthousiaste quant à l'esprit de collaboration que vous apportez tous les deux à ce projet. C'est l'un des projets les plus passionnants que nous ayons vu dans notre ville et j'ai toute confiance en vous deux en tant que nouveaux mais bons dirigeants de notre ville. Alors j'apprécie vraiment votre travail. My other point is that for community engagement, if you have small easy things to copy and paste for our social networks, let us know when you publish them so that we can help invite community members who follow our pages.

We appreciate your enthusiasm. Yes, we are all looking forward to seeing these two projects together and to be part of the community to move forward. Because as a municipal council, we are constantly asked about Riverfront Park. People are therefore very, very interested. Go ahead, do great things. That brings us to the third point of order of the day. The day's examination of the municipal council, communications and round table. Do we have any questions or concerns concerning the points of order of the day due to consent tonight?

I don't see any.

Councilors González and Reyes will share the proclamation of the Hispanic Heritage Month. I have the proclamation relating to the Constitution.

Who would like to take charge?

On this, we will start our round table by starting with our municipal director.

Alors, quelques points. Voyons voir. Notre foire sur la gestion des urgences de samedi s'est très bien passée. Ce n'était pas la nôtre, bien que nous y étions. Environ, je ne sais pas, 200 personnes peut-être sont venues. Et le flux a été constant toute la journée. C'est donc formidable. Merci à toute l'équipe du CEHRT, bien sûr, et aux personnes qui ont tenu des stands et apporté leur savoir collectif à cette foire. Le 19, soit ce samedi, n'est-ce pas? La Tualatin Cup, la régate de modèles réduits de voilier, parrainée par le CCEO, l'organisation d'implication communautaire, commerciale. C'est de 13h à 16h au Commons. Nous y aurons un stand et nous y serons également représentés. Il y a un suivi concernant le passage à niveau de Boonsferry sur lequel je voulais vous faire un point. L'ODOT, comme l'a rapporté Mike McCarthy, notre ingénieur municipal, a rencontré la compagnie ferroviaire la semaine dernière et ils vont revenir effectuer des corrections au passage à niveau de Boonsferry. Ils attendent une date et nous tiendrons informés dès qu'elle sera fixée. They will, the ODOT will ensure traffic regulation and signaling, so there will be no closure. This time there will be no complete closure. So we are waiting with impatience for this to be corrected, especially in the direction of the south, which gives a little impression of rolling on the edge of a cliff. Some news from the office of the municipal director. The national investigation with the community ended with about 303 answers on the aspects of quality of life in Tualatin. We will be in front of you on October 26 with these data. And I can't wait for us to be able to examine these preliminary data and start analyzing them. For our inauguration, I sent you an email. The inauguration of the micro-turbine project in sewerage will take place on October 12 before the meeting of the municipal council at 4.30 p.m. on site. We have planned a lot of interesting things for this inauguration, in particular the presence of Deputy Andrea Salinas as well as PGE, Energy Trust of Oregon and other partners who have supported the project financially. In terms of parks and leisure, the summer has been a good time to work on some small drainage projects thanks to dry weather and dry soil. Our park team worked on two small improvements, one at the Browns Ferry Park and one on the Chieftain Dakota Greenway in historically wet and flooded areas. At the Aquatic Centre, we have a trainee for the lunch program. She will work with Sarah Shepard, our water center manager, on the data collection of the meal program, as well as on the development of nutrition-related programs. And this is eligible, I believe, for the subsidy we received from the county of Washington. And we needed some of this nutritional information for this subsidy. The planning of the pumpkin regatta is in full swing. The event this year will of course take place on October 18th, preceded by the Pumpkins and Pines Hang and the Pesée des Citrouilles on Saturday 17th at Stickman. Le comité consultatif des arts de Thua-Latin et les comités consultatifs des parcs ont tenu une réunion conjointe en août à l'abri de pique-nique principal du parc communautaire où ils ont travaillé avec l'artiste originale de cette fresque pour la retoucher et la rafraîchir. Donc c'était passionnant.

Peut-être que le conseiller Brooks en a parlé, je ne m'en souviens plus.

The Tualatin Park Consultative Committee held a meeting on September 8 where they discussed the desire to undertake a community commitment to find an appropriate place in the park network for recreational fishing. They learned about an update on the new list of alignment tree plantations, then shared information on the Riverfront Park and Cora projects, as you heard today. They also listened to an intervention from a member of the Tualatin eBike Safety Coalition. La réunion publique virtuelle sur l'étude ferroviaire de Tualatin-Sherwood Road est ouverte à partir d'aujourd'hui et jusqu'à fin septembre. Le public est donc invité à consulter les documents. Il y a beaucoup de documents sur ce site web et les citoyens peuvent donner leur avis sur les alternatives proposées. Il y a un lien sur la page web du projet et lorsque vous allez sur notre site, il figure parmi les recherches les plus fréquentes. Just click on it. We have sent invitations to CEOs, community participation organizations, as well as to members of consultative committees, and we have installed panels around the study intersection. Finally, I attended a Metro meeting for municipal directors, organized by Metro. I wanted to highlight a few points addressed during this meeting. Comme vous le savez peut-être, ils envisagent une éventuelle taxe parcs et natureurs aiglés pour 2027. Il s'agit du renouvellement de la taxe de 9 centimes actuellement en vigueur. Ils avaient envisagé de l'augmenter, mais leur sondage indique qu'ils vont simplement se contenter de renouveler les 9 centimes existants. Ils souhaiteraient rencontrer notre Conseil, donc j'organiserai leur venue pour qu'ils puissent présenter des informations à ce sujet ultérieurement. Par ailleurs, concernant l'engagement pour la vision d'avenir, je sais que beaucoup d'entre vous ont été impliqués dans ce travail de prospective. Un sommet sur cette vision aura lieu le 8 octobre de 12h30 à 16h30 au Centre de Congrès, où ils synthétiseront tout le travail à comprendre. Cela semble être une très bonne occasion de découvrir ses travaux et je crois qu'il se projette vers 2048 ou 2050 avec cette vision d'avenir. Voilà pour mon rapport.

Très bien. Je vais changer un peu de sujet et commencer par la droite. Conseiller ça.

Très bien, merci. Le 2 septembre, nous avons eu la réunion du CAC. The majority of the meeting was devoted to updating Mike McCarthy, mainly on the study of the passage at the level of Theolatin Sherwood. Although we did not go into the details of everyone's opinions, it was a mainly informative meeting. It was interesting to see the reactions, you have the first reactions of people concerning the study on the passage at the level And I think it is clear that people need time to assimilate all this because there is a lot of information. As Shirin mentioned, when you go to the open door, virtual. So I really encourage everyone to invite people to go there and to assimilate all this information. Because as a student, I really wanted to know what others think of the options that are offered to us. J'avais donc noté d'inviter les gens à consulter la porte ouverte virtuelle. Elle restera en ligne jusqu'au 27 septembre. Et lors de cette réunion du CAC, nous avons également entendu deux recommandations de la part des membres du comité, ce qui a donné lieu à une excellente discussion. Et je voulais juste rappeler aux gens, comme je le faisais en venant ici aujourd'hui, que je me suis trompée de chemin en sortant de chez moi, que Martinazi est fermé. J'ai donc dû faire tout le tour. Mais Martin Assy est fermé au niveau de Blake. Donc si vous devez emprunter Martin Assy, sachez simplement que vous devriez peut-être chercher un autre itinéraire. Et j'ai entendu parler de... Vous avez mentionné la régate. J'ai entendu dire par certaines personnes que la Ville fait un excellent travail pour promouvoir cet événement. Je tiens donc à remercier la Ville pour la promotion de cet événement. Je l'attends vraiment avec un bassin.

Merci. Le 28 août, j'ai assisté, j'étais le suppléant, donc j'écoutais simplement la réunion du match. Ils ont approuvé un accord intergouvernemental pour le contrat de franchise de télévision par câble avec Comcast et davantage d'informations seront présentées au conseil et le directeur municipal ainsi que le personnel en disposent. Donc cela arrivera bientôt à un ordre du jour près de chez vous. And the 9th, we have a meeting of the architectural examination council where the applicant requested, it was in some way a renewal of an expired request to build an industrial building of 452,795 square feet, essentially at the place where the golf course was located. And so, in fact, the results were simply magnificent. People were very thoughtful. They could have built bigger. They could have done things differently and they specifically thought about the topography of the place and what has been visible since Sipuol or Sipuol, I can never pronounce it correctly. Please excuse me. And 124th May, I think it will simply be a wonderful addition. I prefer the green, I suppose, if you will, but I really think it will be an excellent addition to what we already have in the community to enrich our repertoire, if we can say, and these are really great people with whom we work. So I find it very exciting to be able to associate with them in our community.

No official meeting during the last two weeks.

I attended the Mac meeting on August 28th and we voted in his favor. Thank you for that, that's all I have to report.

Le 2, j'ai assisté à la réunion du caucus des femmes de la Ligue des villes de l'Oregon. En ce moment, il y a des appels à candidatures pour des postes de direction si quelqu'un souhaite siéger au conseil du caucus des femmes. J'espère que certaines personnes ont eu l'occasion de voir la série We Talk organisée par la LOC. Je sais que nous y avons consacré beaucoup de travail et cela a couvert tous les points que nous examinons en tant que priorité législative pour 2027. En dehors de nos réunions, mais en lien avec le Comité des Arts, j'ai assisté à l'atelier de Tu as Latin Valley Creates. For your information, the power of you building an authoritative brand, Ager chez Flytai, à Beaverton, c'était l'occasion de mieux connaître les artistes et créateurs locaux de notre région alors que nous essayons de développer davantage la culture artistique ici, dans la communauté. Ensuite, j'étais hors de la ville, dans l'Utah, pour le reste du temps. I would say that, thinking about my stay, I was often in Park City and the number of people using electric bikes was impressive to see, especially when the paths and everything else are well thought out and it was incredible to see how people could move everywhere with their electric bikes and their classic bikes. So it was quite exciting to see what other communities have done and there are also a lot of electric boxes decorated in Utah.

I forgot to mention before, Councilor Brooks, that it is your turn for the General Assembly.

May I ask you a question? For the LOC meeting, did they indicate which were the five priorities put forward? Did they mention during this meeting where they were? They reviewed all the priorities and they were presented by, I forgot the name of the lady, but one of the LOC employees. Were there any priorities for which we had priorities? You remember, we submitted priorities, so did our elements fit?

All priorities were taken into account. This was not the case, many cities have not yet voted. It was therefore informative so that people better understand the subjects they are examining. I appreciate it. Well, on August 26, I went to the inauguration ceremony of the LAM. The advisor was there with me yesterday, and the mayor was absent, I was able to make a little speech for TuaLatin, which was very amusing, except for the object that exploded behind me. But it was a really great event, and a lot of people and a lot of recognition. It's a huge project for our state, it's quite impressive. It's TuaLatin. Then we had the meeting of the CAC on the revitalization of the city center and Mike McCarthy deserves congratulations for having so well explained complex transport issues to the group. I was observing the room and he seemed to really understand and grasp what he was saying. Then on the 3rd, I had my meeting of the county coordination committee of Clacamas and we met in Happy Valley. I am quite jealous of their municipal building. But we had a presentation from Grace Kernighan, co-president of the Atelier sur la vision des transports, who studies all the different sources of income and the points that will be submitted to the examination of legislation. They do a really in-depth and excellent job. The same problems are nevertheless income, such as the fact that we want our 20 cents on each dollar, whatever the source of income. There is a lack of trust between the elected officials and the ODOT in our community. This has been raised and we have been encouraged to wait for the arrival of a new permanent director, hoping that things will change. Then, why did I write down? Lycée de Tigard has the collection of funds of the historical society. It is the advice here, the mayor was a presenter and they have judiciously called on Louis Martin to help with the answers to the questions of general culture. But it was very funny and people were dressed according to different decades. And the mayor was great in his Don Johnson costume. Then I went to the emergency preparation fair of the CRT, there were a lot of people. And I learned a valuable lesson on how to cut my natural gas valve in case of emergency. So I found it very productive.

As the President of the Prat Council said, yes, I assisted in the sale of the historical society of Tualatin. It was a fantastic event. I spoke with Rose Baker. They are still trying to count the money collected this year. But they were very enthusiastic about achieving the goal of subsidies where the two counterparty funds during our collection in 30 seconds. So it was really good. You know, I attribute it to the ceremony master, of course. I also attended the emergency preparation show. Fantastic stands, a lot of information. I appreciated that the TVFR distributes the little firefighters' helmets and that kind of thing. I saw a lot of it on the children. And I heard that about 200 people were present, so a good participation. And it wasn't a terrible heat like last year, so the weather was ideal for that. Today I attended, as mentioned, the meeting of the work group on aging. It was an important discussion group today, as Matt and Aaron have already mentioned. They had a series of questions for the group. There were excellent answers and a very good dialogue. And I know Aaron noted everything, just like Matt, to integrate it into the report on the impacts of housing on aging. One of the major points that came out, as Matt mentioned, is that If someone wants to sell his house, he must have a place to go. Especially if they want to stay in Tualatin and there is no place. The market is fully rented. They are looking for full-fledged housing, semi-accessible to people with reduced mobility, everything they need, but it does not exist. There is therefore a need for this kind of thing, especially with the population, aging, growing here in Tualatin. J'ai eu la réunion sur les transports du gouvernement local. Il s'agit de toutes les personnes représentant les villes dans les sous-comités des transports du gouverneur. Nous nous sommes réunis et avons fait le point. La plupart des comités sont maintenant dans leurs deux dernières réunions pour finaliser les mémos qui seront transmis au comité principal puis au gouverneur. J'ai ma réunion demain et la semaine prochaine sur le mémo concernant le fret. And for Fred, without surprise, the situation is summarized as follows. The road and bridges are falling into ruin. The trucks can't cross them or have to change routes. The congestion slows down the trucks, which leads to a drop in delivery costs. And then, the Connect Oregon program has been somewhat left out. Thus, the funds allocated to ports, airlines and railways have decreased. We are therefore working on this project to submit it to the governor in time. And finally, what was concluded today, before coming here for the meeting with President Harrington. She attended a presentation with the Sheriff on the project of enlargement of the prison and correctional services. It is a project that this Commission wants to see complete before the transition to a new team. The objective is to increase the capacity of reception, both for the prison and for the correctional services. Actuellement, la prison a une capacité totale de 572 lits. Il y a 12 ans, une étude indiquait qu'il en fallait 100. Nous sommes donc très en retard. La prison a 28 ans. Aucune extension modification n'a été effectuée depuis sa construction. Les services correctionnels disposent de 215 lits, mais seuls 167 sont financés.

Ils cherchent donc des solutions. Comment allons-nous augmenter notre capacité ?

Même dans le meilleur des scénarios, une nouvelle prison ne verra pas le jour avant 7 ans. Based on the planning process, it is interesting, the county of Washington is one of the only four counties in Oregon to have a community correctional service. Most counties do not have one. What strikes me is that during the last year of penalty, the state transfers the detainees to the county prison for a transition training. So in the counties without correctional services, what do these prisoners become during their transition from prison to civil life? They hope to realize their current plan in six phases so that the prison will be operational by 2032. That's far, isn't it? The DLR group was selected as a consultant to work on this project. The court obtained planning funds for this extension. One of my questions was, if we need a larger court near the prison, where will it be located? Can we simply erase the old court to rebuild it? It turns out that no. The court is a historical building that must be preserved. So where are we going to build this court to meet future needs, while staying close enough to the prison to facilitate the transfer of detainees? And finally, the county commission also planned in its work program to realize by the end of the year to submit to the May-2027 ballot the tax for the reinforcement of the sheriff's patrols only for the non-constituted areas in the county of Washington. They seek to register the ballot by May-2027. Once again, this has no impact on... But they want it to be settled so as not to leave the case to the new commission. They want to be able to act quickly and efficiently without having to predict that the new commission must catch up with its delay during the following months due to the arrival of new deaths.

Does everyone vote for it? Only non-constituted Washington residents?

Only non-constituted Washington areas. On this, that's all I had to say. There is about less than a quarter. We will therefore close this work session. We will meet again for the municipal council at 7.00 p.m.
