COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S RECOMMENDATION:
I concur with the requested action.
Agenda Item No. 6.a.
Date: 04/21/20
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this agenda is to hold a public hearing and request that your Board adopt Temporary Policy T-311 – Novel Coronavirus/COVID-19 Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (E-PSL) and Emergency FMLA Amendment (E-FMLA) Policy, and to temporarily amend the Revised Personnel Rules & Regulations by adopting Temporary Policy T-312, Novel Coronavirus/COVID-19 Vacation Accrual Cap and MAPPS Utilization Cap Policy.
Another temporary policy (T-310) was already implemented by the County Administrator as allowed under the County’s Personnel Rules and Regulations, Article 1.4 ‘Suspension of the Personnel Rules and Regulations’, which permits temporary suspensions and revisions of the Personnel Rules in certain circumstances. Although temporary policies T-311 and T-312 are also being implemented due to the current COVID-19 Emergency Declaration, their end date is expected to exceed the end of the Emergency Declaration. Temporary Policy T-311: Novel Coronavirus/COVID-19 Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (E-PSL) and Emergency FMLA Amendment (E-FMLA) Policy
This policy is needed to comply with the new temporary leave laws enacted by the United States Congress pursuant to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

ADOPT RESOLUTION AND ORDER TO AMEND THE REVISED PERSONNEL RULES & REGULATIONS AND ADOPT TEMPORARY POLICIES T-311 AND T-312 BOC 04/21/20
If an employee has work available but is unable to work or telecommute due a qualifying reason related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Employees will be eligible to take Emergency Paid Sick Leave (E-PSL) or use Emergency Family Medical Leave (E-FMLA), or Emergency Oregon Family Leave (E-OFLA) leave to care for a son or daughter whose school is closed due to COVID-19, as described in the attached policy. All employees meeting the eligibility criteria are eligible for these types of leave. This leave is in addition to County paid sick leave that employees accrue under Washington County’s Personnel Rule 7.3.1. Employees’ accrued sick leave banks will not be withdrawn from for leave taken under this policy unless the employee elects to do so for the first 10 days of unpaid E-FMLA or any E-OFLA leave. According to Federal law, this policy is proposed to expire on December 31, 2020.
Policy T-312: Novel Coronavirus/COVID-19 Vacation Accrual Cap and MAPPS Utilization Cap Policy
Vacation: This policy temporarily amends Section 7.2.5 of the Revised Personnel Rules, temporarily changing the maximum accrual limit of Vacation Leave from three hundred and sixty (360) hours to four hundred and eighty (480) hours through and until June 30, 2021. The remaining provisions of Section 7.2 of the Revised Personnel Rules and Regulations, Vacation Leave, will continue to apply as written. All vacation accruals in excess of three hundred and sixty (360) hours must be utilized by employees prior to July 1, 2021. Effective July 1, 2021, any vacation accruals an employee holds over three hundred and sixty (360) hours shall be forfeited.
If an employee separates from employment with the County, for any reason, the maximum vacation payout shall remain three hundred and sixty (360) hours, regardless of any additional hours carried by the employee in excess of 360 under this temporary policy.
Management, Administrative and Professional Personnel System (MAPPS) Leave Accrual Carryover: Currently, FLSA-exempt (MAPPS) employees are provided 40 hours of Administrative Leave each fiscal year and must be used dur that fiscal year or it is forfeited. Under this Rules amendment, employees who are eligible for MAPPS Leave will be allowed to carry a maximum balance of 80 hours until June 30, 2021. All other provisions of the MAPPS policy will continue to be followed as written. As of July 1, 2021, any unused MAPPS leave carried by the employee will be forfeited.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Community Feedback (Known Support/Opposition): None Legal History/Prior Board Action: Temporary Policy T-311 is related with Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) Budget Impacts: • Temporary Policy T-311: Federal law requires that employers cover the expense of
implementing the policy provisions, and costs to each department will vary depending on how many employees utilize the leaves, and to what extent they are used.
• Temporary Policy T-312: None. Although the maximum vacation accrual cap is temporarily raised, the maximum vacation payout rate at end of employment remains the same as it is currently.

GENERAL POLICY:
If an employee has work available but is unable to work or telecommute due a qualifying reason related to the COVID-19 pandemic, they will be eligible to take E-PSL, E-FMLA, or E-OFLA leave as described below. All employees meeting the eligibility criteria are eligible for these types of leave with two exceptions for E-PSL and E-FMLA that are identified below. This leave is in addition to County paid sick leave that employees accrue under Washington County’s Personnel Rule 7.3.1. Employees’ accrued sick leave banks will not be withdrawn from for leave taken under this policy unless the employee elects to do so for the first 10 days of unpaid E-FMLA or any E-OFLA leave.
Exceptions
E-PSL and E-FMLA are not available to employees whose classifications are within the definitions of health care provider or emergency responder set forth in this policy.
Qualifying Reasons for Emergency Paid Sick Leave (E-PSL)
(1) Quarantine — to comply with a federal, State of Oregon or local quarantine or isolation order related to COVID-19. This does not include situations where a city or county orders its residents to “shelter in place”.
(2) Self-Quarantine — to self-quarantine, if the employee has been advised to do so by a health care provider for reasons related to COVID-19.
(3) Diagnosis or Treatment — to obtain a medical diagnosis or treatment if the employee is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
23
4
(4) Care for a Quarantined Individual — to care for an individual who is an immediate family member or who resides in the employee’s home or with whom the employee has a personal relationship such that the employee would be expected to care for them, where such individual is subject to a federal, State of Oregon or local quarantine or isolation order related to COVID-19 or who has been advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine for reasons related to COVID-19.
(5) Child Care — to care for an employee’s son or daughter if the son or daughter’s school or child care provider has been closed or is unavailable due to COVID-19-related issues. Employees may only use this leave when the employer has work for them to perform either at the work place or through telecommuting and they are unable to do so due to the need to care for their child. Employees who have not been assigned work to perform either onsite or through telecommuting are not eligible for this type of leave.
(6) Substantially Similar Care — to care for a substantially similar condition, as determined and specified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Accrual of and Requesting Emergency Paid Sick Leave (E-PSL)
Full-time employees will receive up to 80 hours of E-PSL. The number of hours of E-PSL available to part-time employees depends on the number of hours the employee is scheduled to work during a two-week period and may be calculated using the average number of hours worked in the six months leading up to the commencement of the leave. As an example, if a part-time employee works, on average, 20 hours per week, the employee would be entitled to 40 hours of E-PSL.
Any unused E-PSL will not carry over into 2021. Employees will not be paid the value of any unused E-PSL if they quit, retire, are laid off or terminated.
Although E-PSL is available to employees immediately, employees must follow Washington County’s call-in requirements for regular sick leave use under Personnel Rule 7.3.2. subsection 2 when using E-PSL.
Further, employees will be required as soon as is practical under the circumstances to certify their need for E-PSL, and are required to provide verification as follows:
(1) Quarantine — The name of the federal, Oregon or local government entity issuing the quarantine or isolation order relating to COVID-19. This order must include the Employee’s name or other identifying information sufficient to allow Washington County to conclude that the order affects a particular employee.
(2) Self-Quarantine — Name of the healthcare provider who advised the employee to self-quarantine due to concerns related to COVID-19.
(3) Diagnosis or Treatment — Written verification from the employee’s medical provider of the employee’s effort to receive a medical diagnosis for COVID-19 or treatment if the employee is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
(4) Care for a Quarantined Individual — The name of the federal, Oregon or local government issuing the quarantine or isolation order regarding the individual’s requirement to be quarantined that includes the individual’s name or information sufficient to determine that it applies to the individual, or the name of the individual’s health care provider who advised the individual to self quarantine due to COVID-19 concerns.
(5) Child Care — No verification required for school closures due to COVID-19 issues if evidence of closure is publicly available. Written verification from the child care provider about its/his/her unavailability to provide child care due to COVID-19-related issues.
24
5
(6) Substantially Similar Care — Written verification from the employee’s health care provider of the employee’s need to stay home for a substantially similar condition, as determined and specified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Capped Wages Paid Under Emergency Paid Sick Leave (E-PSL)
• For leave due to reasons (1), (2) or (3), above, an employee will earn the employee’s regular rate of pay, capped at $511 per day, for a maximum of $5,110.
• For leave due to reasons (4), (5) or (6), above, an employee will earn 2/3 of the employee’s regular rate of pay, capped at $200 per day, for a maximum of $2,000.
Employees will not be allowed to use their paid accruals or County COVID-19 Absence leave to supplement E-PSL or any paid portion E-FMLA leave pay. However, employees may use any paid accruals or E-PSL pay to cover the first 10 unpaid days of E-FMLA leave.
Employees may only request to take E-PSL intermittently to care for a child whose school or daycare is closed.
Emergency Family Medical Leave Act (E-FMLA) and Oregon Family Leave Act Amendment (E-OFLA) Policy for School Closures
Employees are eligible to receive time off under E-FMLA and E-OFLA when the employee is unable to report to work or telecommute due to a need to care for a son or daughter because their school or place of care has been closed, or because the child care provider of such son or daughter is unavailable due to reasons related to COVID-19 when they have met the eligibility requirements below. Under E-FMLA, an employee must have work that can be performed for the employer but be unable to do so or to telecommute due to the need to care for their son or daughter. Employees who have not been assigned work to perform either onsite or through telecommuting are not eligible for this type of leave. Benefits provided during the use of E-FMLA and E-OFLA are described below.
Employees may only request to take E-FMLA or E-OFLA intermittently to care for a child whose school or daycare is closed.
The leave of absence available under E-FMLA and E-OFLA, will be referred to as “School Closure Leave”, regardless of the terminology used in both laws. If not specifically addressed in this policy, all other provisions in Washington County’s Family Leave Policy, Policy 304, apply.
Eligibility Requirements
E-FMLA: Employees who have worked for Washington County during the thirty (30) calendar days leading up to the start of the School Closure Leave.
E-OFLA: Employees who have been employed for at least 180 days and worked an average of at least 25 hours per week leading up to the start of the School Closure Leave.
Length of Leave
E-FMLA: Up to 12 weeks of leave, to be taken any time during the period of April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. If E-FMLA leave under this policy is started on December 1, 2020 (for example), the employee will
25
6
not be allowed to continue the leave past December 31, 2020 even if the employee still has available FMLA leave. An employee’s ability to take FMLA leave for other purposes before or after School Closure Leave depends on the employee’s “eligibility” under FMLA. An employee’s use of E-FMLA shall be counted against the employee’s maximum FMLA leave entitlement.
E-OFLA: Eligible employees may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave, to be taken any time during the period of March 18, 2020, to September 13, 2020. The 12 weeks of E-OFLA School Closure Leave must be used before September 13, 2020. No E-OFLA School Closure Leave may be used after September 13, 2020 regardless of whether the full amount available was exhausted. An employee’s use of E-OFLA shall be counted against the employee’s maximum OFLA leave entitlement.
School Closure Leave under these laws will run concurrently, where applicable. Washington County will apply the law that is most generous to the employee if the School Closure Leave runs concurrently.
Notice and Verification
E-FMLA: Where the need for public health emergency leave is foreseeable, an employee shall provide the employer with as much notice as is practicable under the circumstances.
E-OFLA: Employees must provide at least 30 days’ notice before School Closure Leave is to begin if the reason for leave is foreseeable. If 30 days’ notice is not foreseeable or practical, an employee must give verbal or written notice as soon as possible.
Notice should be provided to the employee’s supervisor who shall then forward the notice to Washington County Leave Administration at [email protected] within 24 hours of commencement of the leave. Supervisors shall not retain a copy of the notice.
Under both E-FMLA and E-OFLA, School Closure Leaves, no verification is required for school closures due to a public health emergency if evidence of the closure is publicly available. Written verification from the “place of care” provider regarding the unavailability of child care due to reasons related to COVID-19 is required.
Benefits During Leave
E-FMLA:
• The first ten days of leave are unpaid. • After the first ten days of unpaid E-FMLA School Closure Leave, and for each day thereafter, eligible
employees will receive paid leave calculated at 2/3 of an employee’s regular rate of pay and the number of hours the employee would otherwise be normally be scheduled to work.
• E-FMLA paid leave will not exceed $200 per day, or $10,000 in the aggregate.
Employees will not be allowed to use their paid accruals or County COVID-19 Absence leave to supplement their pay while on E-FMLA leave with the exception of the first 10 days of unpaid E-FMLA.
E-OFLA:
• E-OFLA School Closure Leave is unpaid.
26
7
• Employees may, however, use any accrued paid leave or County COVID-19 Absence leave during the period of E-OFLA School Closure Leave to supplement their pay up to the amount of their full regular pay.
If an employee is on approved School Closure Leave under either E-FMLA or E-OFLA, or both laws, Washington County will continue the employee’s health coverage under any “group health plan” on the same terms as if the employee had continued to work. An employee wishing to maintain health insurance during a period of approved School Closure Leave will be responsible for paying the cost of his/her share of group health plan premiums which had been paid by the employee prior to the School Closure Leave.
Seniority, Leave Balances, Accruals and Other Benefits
1. Employees on qualified E-PSL, E-FMLA or E-OFLA leave will retain accrued balances for sick leave, compensatory time, administrative leave, floating holiday and vacation leave earned prior to leave, except for the amount of any leave accruals used during unpaid E-OFLA leave.
2. Employees on E-PSL, E-FMLA, or E-OFLA leave will be eligible for holiday pay as provided for in the County’s Personnel Rules and Regulations or applicable collective bargaining agreement.
3. Payroll periods for employees on E-PSL, E-FMLA or E-OFLA will be considered qualified provided an employee is in paid status for not less than 90% of their regularly scheduled hours for the Payroll Period in accordance with the Washington County Personnel Rules and Regualtions.
4. An employee on E-PSL, E-FMLA of E-OFLA leave will accrue sick and vacation leaves as provided in the County’s Personnel Rules and Regulations.
5. Step increases and review dates for employees on E-PSL, E-FMLA, or E-OFLA leave will be adjusted for unqualified payroll periods according to the provisions of the County’s Personnel Rules and Regulations.
Leave periods under E-PSL, E-FMLA or E-OFLA will be treated as continuous service (i.e., no break in service) in accordance with the Washington County Personnel Rules and Regulations for purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate in Washington County benefit plans.
Job Protection E-FMLA and E-OFLA: Employees returning to work from School Closure Leave will be reinstated to their former position. If the position has been eliminated, the employee may be reassigned to an available equivalent position. Reinstatement is not guaranteed if the position has been eliminated under circumstances where the law does not require reinstatement. Employees are expected to promptly return to work when the circumstances requiring School Closure Leave have been resolved, even if leave was originally approved for a longer period. If an employee does not return to work at the end of a designated School Closure Leave period, reinstatement may not be available unless the law requires otherwise. Retaliation Prohibited
Any employee who retaliates against another employee for asking about, requesting or using E-FMLA or E-OFLA School Closure Leave or E-PSL leave shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of their employment.

WASHINGTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Agenda Category: Action – Health & Human Services
Agenda Title: DECLARE AN EMERGENCY RELATED TO COVID-19
Presented by: Marni Kuyl, Director of Health and Human Services; Steve Rhodes, County Administrator; Alan Rappleyea, County Counsel
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S RECOMMENDATION: Declare an extension of the emergency until May 5, 2020 under Washington County Code Chapter 8.36 to support response activities to COVID-19.
Agenda Item No. 7.a.Date: 04/21/20
SUMMARY: Washington County Health and Human Services, the County Administrative Office and County Counsel are bringing forward a request for consideration of an extension of the emergency declaration related to COVID-19. No expansion of authority is requested.
The number of individuals who have tested positive with COVID-19 continues to increase. Our Public Health Division and EOC is working on many fronts to support activities that keep our community safe. Continuing the declaration of emergency will allow for additional resources to assist in the response to COVID-19. It will also provide the Board with the tools to address COVID-19.
A declaration of emergency is authorized under Chapter 8.36 of the Washington County Code. A declaration lasts 14 days. We will also propose an emergency ordinance to allow extending emergency declarations for 30 days at you May 5th meeting.
Before requesting that the Board take action on the declaration, Public Health staff will provide a COVID-19 update.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Community Feedback (Known Support/Opposition): The Board received 7 comments in opposition of extending the emergency declaration. The theme of these comments was on the effect of the closure on the community. As the Board knows, the Governor’s Executive Order effected the closure, not the County’s Emergency Declaration.
Legal History/Prior Board Action: Board work session on 2/11/2020 and Board presentation on 2/25/2020. Adopted a resolution and order declaring a county-wide emergency on March 4th, 2020, continued the declaration for 14 days on March 17, 2020, continued the declaration until April 16, 2020 and continued the declaration until April 21, 2020.

Agenda Title:
Kathleen Leader, Chief Financial Officer Presented by:
SUMMARY
Clean Water Services (District) and Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD) are working together to select and implement a new Customer Information System (CIS).
The project is a multiyear, multiphase technology project that relies on best practices in utility industry CIS implementations and delivery of a CIS solution. District and TVWD jointly own the project with TVWD serving as the managing partner of the project and of the new CIS after the system is fully functioning. In the Phase I IGA that was approved by the District Board of Directors in 2018, the parties prepared and conducted a robust needs evaluation and vendor selection process. The selected vendor is Open International, LLC.
In the Phase II IGA, the parties will first negotiate the services contract and software licensing agreement. If a contract is agreed to, implementation is expected to start in June 2020 with a 14- to 16-month implementation period, go-live in summer/fall 2021, and four months of post-go-live stabilization. The budget estimate for the complete project is $9.5 million and includessoftware licenses, consulting and vendor services, third-party services, internal labor and facilitycosts.
The Phase II IGA for implementation identifies the types of costs to be shared by District and TVWD and will authorize management to create a task-based cost structure to equitably allocate project costs shared by both parties and those borne by each individual party.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
CLEAN WATER SERVICES AND TUALATIN VALLEY WATER DISTRICT FOR
CUSTOMER INFORMATION SYSTEM PROJECT ACTIVITIES This Intergovernmental Agreement ("Agreement") effective____________, 2020, is entered into by CLEAN WATER SERVICES ("CWS"), a county service district, organized under ORS Chapter 451, and TUALATIN VALLEY WATER DISTRICT ("TVWD"), organized under ORS Chapter 264 (each a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"). RECITALS 1. TVWD and CWS are units of local government, as that term is defined in Oregon
Revised Statutes 174.109. 2. ORS 190.007 provides for the furthering of economy and efficiency in local
government by intergovernmental cooperation. 3. ORS 190.010 provides that units of government may enter into agreements for
performance of any and all functions and activities that parties to the agreement, its officers or agencies have authority to perform.
4. The boundaries of CWS include all or nearly all the boundaries of TVWD.
Recognizing these joint customers and the efficiencies that could be obtained by cooperation, TVWD has provided utility billing and related services for CWS by agreement since 1997.
5. The original Joint Billing Agreement whereby TVWD provides these services
dated September 27, 2004 as amended effective July 1, 2005 (Billing Agreement) has been renewed at five-year intervals.
6. Under the Billing Agreement, TVWD provides all hardware, software, staffing and
other services, acts as the payee on all invoices and when funds are received, retains the TVWD portion and remits the CWS portion. TVWD and CWS both use TVWD’s internally-developed, customized utility billing application, the last upgrade of which TVWD deployed in 2007.
7. TVWD has identified and reported to CWS that the current utility billing
application has limited functionality and requires significant ongoing maintenance and development costs.
35
Page 2 of 7
8. As technologies have evolved, water and wastewater utilities, such as TVWD and CWS, have benefited from implementing a commercial‐off‐the‐shelf customer system which the industry generally refers to as a Customer Information System (CIS); these systems are used for utility billing and customer care functions, and have greater integration with financial and other systems.
9. TVWD and CWS have both determined that the aging legacy TVWD billing
application should be replaced with a commercial-off-the-shelf CIS Project (Project), and both agencies have budgeted funds for this replacement strategy. The total cost of the CIS implementation has not yet been determined.
10. The Project will be a multi-year, multi-phase technology project which will rely on
best practices in utility industry CIS implementations to select and deliver a CIS Solution.
11. TVWD and CWS have determined that the Project will be a collaborative
partnership, jointly owned by the Parties, wherein TVWD will serve as the managing partner of the project and of the new CIS.
12. TVWD and CWS have previously identified the need to enter into three CIS-
related agreements over several years, two for the Project and a new operations agreement under the new CIS.
13. TVWD and CWS entered into the first CIS agreement, for Phase I, in June 2018. 14. Phase I covered the needs assessment though new CIS system vendor contract.
Phase II, through a second agreement, will provide for the selected vendor and product implementation. Phase III requires a third agreement for ongoing operations following implementation which will replace the current Billing Agreement.
15. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement for Phase II of the Project. 16. The Parties and their ratepayers will benefit from the economies of scale by the
Parties entering into a joint venture and sharing implementation and ongoing costs of a new CIS.
The parties agree as follows: I. BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF WORK This Agreement pertains only to Phase II of the Project. All Phases are set forth in general terms below to indicate the full breadth of the Project.
36

implementation of the selected CIS Vendor and product as defined in Section II below.
3. Negotiation of any necessary agreements between the Parties or vendors for operations following contract completion.
C. PHASE III Phase III will generally consist of agreements, protocols and other matters
necessary to operate and maintain the CIS Solution upon completion and implementation by the selected vendor. The final Phase III agreement between the Parties will replace the current Billing Agreement.
II. MANAGEMENT OF PROJECT AND CONSULTANT CONTRACT
A. TVWD shall manage the Project for both Parties through a collaborative process with CWS, including the contracted professional services provided by Consultant or Vendor as specified in this Agreement. B. Each Party shall appoint a Project Sponsor and designate its team to Coordinate the Project. The Project Sponsors will jointly agree on major decisions and direction to Consultants or Vendors. TVWD will be the point of contact with the Consultants or Vendors.

The Parties shall equally share in direct Project expenses, including but not limited to: Consultant and Vendor costs for Project products and services; CWS and TVWD staff allocated to and performing work on the Project; Project facility costs; and other Project costs as mutually agreed upon and incurred by the Partners. The Chief Executive Officers of CWS and TVWD, or their designees, shall jointly be authorized to develop and modify a task-level methodology for sharing Project costs. This methodology shall be used to determine which costs: are benefitting both CWS and TVWD and are thus appropriately shared by both CWS and TVWD; or are benefitting only one Party and are thus appropriately borne by either CWS or TVWD. The Parties will develop a monthly procedure to review project charges and agree to an appropriate allocation of costs before the development of the invoice to CWS.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, TVWD shall be responsible for administering Project procurements and Consultants and Vendor contracts for services specific to the Project. As costs are incurred but not less frequently than every 30 days, TVWD will provide a copy of any invoices or billing statements received and request payment from CWS. Payment shall be made by CWS within 30 days of receipt of the request for payment.

To: Washington County Coordinating Committee
From: Erin Wardell, Principal Transportation Planner
Date: April 2, 2020
Subject: Annual Transportation Development Tax (TDT) Rate Adjustment
The Transportation Development Tax (TDT) rate adjustment is established by the TDT Ordinance (as amended). The TDT provides for an annual adjustment of the rate schedule according to the fluctuation in construction costs. This year, the TDT will increase by 3.36% as calculated by the index. Though the TDT annual rate adjustment is nondiscretionary, the Board of County Commissioners must still act on the adjustment. The TDT increase goes into effect on July 1, 2020 pending Board approval.
The proposed TDT rate adjustment is presented for your review and comment. Staff will share your comments with the Washington County Board of Commissioners prior to their approval of the TDT adjustment in April. The WCCC Transportation Advisory Committee reviewed the proposed TDT adjustment and recommended approval to the WCCC at its March 5, 2020 meeting.
The index adjustment information for 2020 is attached (A). An adjustment will result in an increase for a single family home from the current $8,968 to $9,269. A rate increase history is attached (B).
The index utilized by the TDT program is based on the three components:
• The percentage change in the National Highway Construction Cost Index (NHCCI 2.0) ‐ reflecting the cost of materials (weighted 50%)
• U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index for Private Industry Workers, by Occupational Group and Industry, Construction Group ‐ reflecting the cost of labor (weighted 30%)
• The average annual change in total real market value of Washington County real property as estimated from data published by the Washington County Department of Assessment and Taxation ‐ reflecting the cost of right‐of‐way (weighted 20%)
A five‐year moving average of the index is utilized to avoid significant annual fluctuation. The rates cannot increase more than ten percent in a single year. The TDT code excerpt attachment describes the TDT index method (C).

E. The tax rates per unit for each land use set forth in Appendix B to this Ordinance shall on July 1 of each succeeding year be adjusted automatically based on a five-year moving average of the TDT index described in Appendix D. A final product ending in $0.49 or less shall be rounded down to the nearest dollar, $0.50 or more up to the next dollar. The TDT index shall be calculated based on a combination of the following indices:
1. The National Highway Construction Cost Index reflecting the cost of materials (weighted 50%)
2. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index for Private Industry Workers, by Occupational Group and Industry, Construction Group reflecting the cost of labor (weighted 30%)
3. The average annual change in total real market value of Washington County real property as estimated from data published by the Washington County Department of Assessment and Taxation reflecting the cost of right-of-way (weighted 20%)
In the event the above index factors use a different base year (i.e., calendar year or fiscal year), the most recent year with complete data shall be used. In the event any of the index factors set forth in this section and Appendix D are no longer available, the Board may by Resolution and Order adopt a replacement index factor that meets the requirements of ORS 223.304(8) for the same type of cost information.
F. Beginning April 1, 2013, and not later than April 1 of each succeeding year, the Director shall calculate the index adjustment as provided in the section for the preceding five-year period. In the event the TDT rates in Ordinance 691-A Engrossed, as adjusted by this index calculation, are greater than the TDT rates set forth in Appendix A to his Ordinance, then the lower set of TDT rates shall apply as provided in subsection H below. In the event the TDT rates in Ordinance 691-A Engrossed, as adjusted by this index calculation, are less than the TDT rates set forth in Append A to his Ordinance, then the lower set of TDT rates shall apply as provided in subsection H below. This subsection G shall apply only for the duration of the revised rate phase-in.
G. The Board of Commissioners of the County shall implement the adjustment annually by resolution and order adopted by May 1 of each year, to take effect on July 1 of that year, including a revised rate table showing adjusted rates for all land uses. In no event shall there be an increase of over ten percent (10%) per year.
H. Washington County shall promptly notify each city in writing of the increase or decrease. The adjustment to the dollar amount as described above shall apply to all building permit applications accepted for review on or after July 1, by the county or city having jurisdiction over the development.

DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE CORNELIUS PASS ROAD (FRANCES STREET TO TUALATIN VALLEY HIGHWAY) PROJECT NO 100254
Presented by: Stephen Roberts, Director of Land Use & Transportation
DEPARTMENT’S REQUESTED ACTION: Approve Contract Amendment No. 1.3 with WSP and authorize its execution upon completion of the County’s contract review process. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S RECOMMENDATION:
I concur with the requested action.
Agenda Item No. 2.c.
Date: 04/21/20
SUMMARY:
The Cornelius Pass Road (Frances Street to Tualatin Valley Highway) Project is funded through the Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP) Bonding Cost-sharing Program, approved by the Board of Commissioners in June 2015. The project also includes installation of a water transmission pipeline for Willamette Water Supply System. The project will widen Cornelius Pass Road within the project limits from three vehicle lanes to five and will also add a dedicated right-turn lane from westbound Tualatin Valley Highway to northbound Cornelius Pass Road. The project also includes bicycle and pedestrian facilities, stormwater treatment facilities, illumination, traffic signals, signing and striping. The Capital Project Services (CPS) division is managing the project through the design, right-of-way, and construction phases. WSP is the consultant selected to perform the final engineering and design for the project. WSP began preliminary engineering and design study work for this project in 2016. This amendment will allow WSP to complete final design services for the project. WSP was selected for this project based on their knowledge and experience with similar transportation improvement projects. They were also the design consultant for the Cornelius Pass Road/TV Highway Intersection Project (in association with the South Hillsboro development), which this project will tie into. (continued)

Presented by: Stephen Roberts, Director of Land Use & Transportation
DEPARTMENT’S REQUESTED ACTION: Approve the attached Resolution and Order authorizing staff to acquire the necessary right-of-way and protective rent payments for the Century Boulevard Extension (Main Street to Lois Street) project. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S RECOMMENDATION:
I concur with the requested action.
Agenda Item No. 2.d.
Date: 04/21/20
SUMMARY:
Century Boulevard is a north-south collector roadway per the Washington County and City of Hillsboro Transportation System Plans. The road is currently discontinuous, with a gap between Main Street (formerly Baseline Road) and Borwick Street. This project will construct a new three-lane road between Main Street and Borwick Street, including a bridge over Rock Creek, as well as realignment and improvement of the existing roadway between Ariel and Lois streets. Additional improvements include continuous sidewalk and bicycle facilities, street lighting and storm drainage upgrades. The project is funded through the Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP) 3e. In order to construct the improvements as designed, additional right-of-way and ancillary easements may be required. Right-of-way acquisition may require protective rent payments. Accordingly, the Board is requested to approve protective rent payments for this project as necessary, which has been done on other similar projects. Right-of-way acquisition for the project will follow Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) guidelines and policies adopted by the Board.
