An attempt to get some clarification
Here are some statements, by rtomes, in this thread (post number given in the 'Posted by' line):

I know nothing about the 18 km/s galactic expansion. It was not in any of the papers that I read. Maybe this came later.

Here are some extracts from the Tifft ApJ paper referenced above:
Quote:
II. PHASE DIAGRAM - MONOSTATES
Starting from the assumption that the redshift is periodic, and given a period P, we define the redshift phase V0/P. V0 is the redshift corrected for the motion of the Sun. The phase will consist of two parts, n, the integer part, and p, the decimal part. It is obvious that if P and V0 are correct, and galaxies are stationary, then p for pure monostates should be 0.00 and should average to 0.50 for pure bistates.

IV. THE SOLAR MOTION
The solar motion and redshift periodicity which produced the phasing shown in Figures 3 and 4 are
[...]
The values of [theta] and Z are reasonable and provide no surprise. The value of π is, however, especially interesting. The negative sign implies outward radial motion of the Sun in the Galaxy. Since the Sun shows no such motion with respect to the LSR, it follows that a similar motion applies to the LSR and hence implies galactic expansion, at least locally.

rtomes, did you read Tifft's " Astrophysical Journal Vol 221 Pg 756-775 1978 May 1" paper?
