BACKGROUND
The City Council sets goals each year to set strategic direction for the City, to identify the
opportunities and challenges that face the community and the City, and to set priorities for
Council time and City efforts. After the goals and initiatives are adopted, staff develops work
plans to implement the initiatives, which are the major projects the Council has decided to
undertake for the year.
DISCUSSION
Council adopted 19 major initiatives as part of its 2024 work plan. The vast majority of the
2024 Work Plan represents either an existing Council initiative or the next step of a project that
Council started in an earlier year. Some of these initiatives are capital projects, which tend to
have a "beginning, middle, and end" and others are policy projects. But even among the capital
projects, most of them are multi-year. And while some policy projects— like Parks Plan 2040,
and the Tree Code Update—will at some point be "finished," others are ongoing work that is
very high priority for the Council, such as the work identified around climate action, DEI or
housing. As Council noted in goal setting, much of the work of these ongoing priorities is
integrating Council's policies into operations. Finally, some of the projects are brand new, and
require significant scoping before the work plan is finalized. Perhaps the best two examples of
this category are the west side community center initiative and the "20 is Plenty" initiative.
Because the initiatives are not all alike, the work plans vary in specificity. The major question
for Council in reviewing the work plans is whether they identify the right overall steps,
especially for Council and community engagement. In addition, Council's feedback about
whether staff has identified the right scope is particularly helpful.
FISCAL IMPACT
Each work plan includes a fiscal element. With new projects, this fiscal impact analysis is very
high level and will need to be refined.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council approve the work plans for the 2024 Council Initiatives.

Foothills

Big Picture Goal: Support business investment and job creation in Lake Oswego.
Council Initiative: Update the Lake Grove Urban Renewal Plan and begin work on a plan to
use urban renewal to support the redevelopment of Foothills.
Lead Department: Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency (LORA)
Support Departments: City Attorney's Office, Finance, Engineering, and Planning.
Plan to Tackle the project:
In February 2024, the LORA Board directed staff to:
• Pursue increasing the maximum indebtedness of the Lake Grove Village Center Urban
Renewal Plan (LGVCURP) to fund projects in the area and bring back additional information
for the Board's consideration at a future study session.
• Initiate updating and pursuing grants for the Foothills District Framework Plan (FDFP) and
develop a Foothills Urban Renewal Plan (FURP).
For the LGVCURP, a study session will be scheduled to review tax increment financing revenue
projections, projects and cost estimates, funding strategy and detailed schedule for the
adoption of the substantial amendment to the urban renewal plan. Staff will also seek Board
approval to more forward with the amendment process.
Updating the FDFP and creating an new FURP is anticipated to be a time and resource intensive
process estimated to cost up to $500K. Preliminary schedules indicate it may take up to four
years to complete the planning process and an additional 10 months to create the new urban

renewal area. Staff is looking for ways to streamline the process without compromising the
quality of the work or the public involvement process. Funding for the project could partially
come from the City and the balance from either a Metro ($350K) or ODOT($250K) grant. While
the approval for both grants appears to generally follow an 8-month approval process, staff has
been advised that negotiating the scope and terms of the contract with consultants through the
ODOT process may take an additional 9-12 months. Alternatively, the City could fund the
project in its entirety and would still have to go through developing a scope and the public
solicitation process for consultants, both of which could also still take about 8 months.
Proposed Timeline and Major steps:
A) LGVCURP Substantial Amendment:
• June 2024 Board study session to review proposed changes to the urban renewal
plan and authorize staff to move forward with the substantial amendment.
• August 2024—January 2025: Public and taxing district outreach, and public hearings
for adoption.
B) FDFP Update and FURP
B1) FDFP Update: Over the next coming months staff will work with Metro and ODOT
staff to refine the schedule.
• 8 months— Metro or ODOT grant approval process (potentially add 9-12 months
for ODOT contract negotiation process)
• 18 - 24 months— Plan development, public engagement and adoption
B2) FURP:
• 10 months for Public and taxing district outreach, and public hearings for
adoption.
Proposed Staffing Required:
LORA staff will lead the process with assistance from:
• Finance, Planning, Engineering, Parks & Recreation to review financial feasibility of the
URAs and participate on the Technical Advisory Committee to update the Foothills
Framework Plan.
• Urban renewal plan consulting services:
o Elaine Howard Consulting, LLC: Technical advisor and plan update
o Tiberius Solutions, LLC: Financial projects and analysis associated with urban
renewal areas
Estimated Financial Need:

SUBJECT: Council Initiative Work Plan: Adopt an updated Urban and Community Forest
Plan
DATE: March 1, 2024
Big Picture Goal: Combat climate change and strengthen the community's resilience to
climate impact.
Council Initiative: Adopt an updated Urban and Community Forest Plan. Begin
implementation of any non-regulatory elements in the plan. Start the
process for targeted amendments to the Tree Code after adoption of the
Plan
Lead Department: Community Development
Support Departments: Engineering, Fire, Parks, Public Works, and Sustainability (CMO)
Plan to Tackle the project:
Work on the Urban and Community Forestry Plan (UCFP) update began in spring 2023 and the
final plan is scheduled to be adopted in June 2024. The updated UCFP will provide strategies for
a sustainable and integrated approach to tree management on public and private lands.
The UCFP includes a strategic plan with recommended actions based on guiding principles that
emphasize a well-funded urban forest, environmental and social benefits, improved quality of
life, resilience to climate change, and the need to balance management of our urban forest
with other needs, such as housing and urban infrastructure.The recommended actions are still
in draft form, but implementation will begin after adoption of the UCFP this spring and will be
on-going. One of the recommended actions will be to adopt targeted amendments to the City's
Tree Code (LOC Chapter 55). Implementation of these code amendments will be a priority for
the city to complete in order to assure compliance with ORS 197.307[4], which requires that
only clear and objective standards apply to applications involving needed housing.

2024:
• Evaluate advantages and disadvantages of various project delivery methods available.
Perform market sounding, select a delivery method, and prepare procurement
documents. Review proposals received and enter into a contract with the top ranked
proposer.
• Finalize baseline financing for the project including final design, construction, and long-
term operation and maintenance. This would include Lake Oswego utility rate
projections, bonds, City of Portland contributions, and any external funding such as
WIFIA. Continuously update.
• Proceed from 90%to final plans and specifications. Once the design is fully completed,
then construction is estimated to take about three years.

the FY 2023-25 biennium budget for the Wastewater Fund. The City of Portland will cover 30%
of these consultant costs.
On January 30, 2024, City Council authorized reimbursement to EPCOR Foothills Water Partners
(EFWP) of approximately $7.2 million for preliminary services rendered which included
production of 60% designs and a multitude of studies.
Total costs of the project, including final design, construction, and long-term operation and
