V. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Final Draft Boundaries
Planning Manager Don Burt explained that after discussion at the last meeting
the boundary boarder has moved westerly to include part of the Twin Creeks
commercial area near the rail crossing. He presented a map showing a cross
hatched area based on those properties benefiting from the urban renewal
crossing project. If the crossing is not improved the properties will have limited
development potential due to traffic limitations.
The High School property was removed to reduce the district's acreage
percentage. The percentage distributions are at 19%, the maximum allowed by
law is 25%. He may revise the boundaries again to reduce the percentage even
more where possible. We want to keep the percentage low so that if needed it
can be increased in the future.

There was discussion regarding the inclusion of the rail crossing when that was
the responsibility of the developer when the project was approved. Mr. Burt
explained that this is an opportunity to move forward on the crossing without
waiting for the developer to have the funds. With the downturn in the economy it
may be years before the developer can complete that project. Community
Development Director Tom Humphrey explained the financial responsibility that
the city has regarding the crossing whether it is complete or not. At this point the
City would benefit from the crossing which will encourage growth in Twin Creeks.
The developer is at a stage where he cannot continue development until the
crossing is complete, but he cannot complete the crossing without new
construction.
The City needs to include a possible creek crossing behind the Pilot Station.
Penninger Lane is overwhelmed now and it will continue to be a traffic issue for
the city. If we could build a crossing behind the Pilot station to the East it would
help alleviate some of that congestion.
B. Maximum Indebtedness and Financial Feasibility Overview (sections
1100 - 1200)
Mr. Burt explained that section 1100 explained the maximum amount of
indebtedness that may be incurred throughout the remaining duration of the Plan
shall not exceed $60,000,000. The Board of Urban Renewal Agency may borrow
money and accept advances, grants and any other legal form of financial
assistance from the federal government, state, city, county, or other public body
for the purpose of undertaking and carrying out this plan, or may otherwise obtain
financing as authorized by ORS Chapter 457.
Mr. Burt explained that sections 1102 and 1103 talk about the financial statement
as required by state and the budget process. It will be a separate process than
the City Budget Committee process. The agency will adopt a budget in
conformance with ORS describing its source of revenue, proposed expenditures
and activities. This budget will be submitted to the Urban Renewal Agency's
Budget Committee for review and approval. The Commission shall not undertake
any activities or expend any funds except as provided in the approved budget.
Section 1200 explains about the Annual Financial Statement that is required by
the State. The Commission will prepare a statement which contains the amount
of money received and incurred; the purpose and amounts of any money
received and expended; an estimate of monies to be received in a current year; a
budget stating the purposes and estimated amounts received and spent, and an
impact analysis.
C. Public Meeting and Study Session Scheduling to Discuss Urban
Renewal Draft Plans
Mr. Burt stated that the Commission could hold a public meeting in September to
get people interested and involved in the meetings. He stated that the
