MEETING 1
August 17, 1994
1. CALL TO ORDER
The August 17, 1994 regular business meeting of the
Intergovernmental Water Board was called to order at 5: 37 p.m.
2. ROLL CALL
Roll call was taken and all members were present.
3. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the June 8, 1994 meeting were approved as written.
4. Visitors Comments
Jack Polans questioned what the status of public involvement'?
Information has been provided to the public via water billing,
Tigard newsletters, informational services in the Library. Mr.
Polans questioned whether the Board has received any input from the
public? Chair Manning referred this question to Ed Wegner. Ed
Wegner stated that the public takes the water supply for granted as
long as water is available to them when needed, which also seems to
be the consensus regionally. The public seems to believe that
water is a never ending source. Mr. Polans then questioned how
this will effect the passage of a water bond issue?
Chair Manning responded that from her observation as an advisory
Board they have made public input the priority that Mr. Polans
would appreciate and as a long range project it needs to be made a
priority. As a function of the IWB could put together and include
Mr. Polans as a member, a task force to work on identifying some
concerns of the water issues.
John Swartz stated that his past experience as a Water Board
Member, he has found that there is not a lot of public interest as
long as available at a reasonable cost. The where, how and when
you get the water is really a priority concern. The Board has
certainly provided ample information to the public. Mr. Polans
stated that providing the information is not doing any good, which
is why the City needs to provide facilitators that are trained to
provide this information to the public. Mr. Swartz stated that the
trained facilitators and the CIT's that the City has are not single
issues organizations. If there are water issues that need to be
addressed, it will be addressed through this manner. There may be
a need with the City of Durham and the City of King City and the
unincorporated area to provide such an avenue for this information.
George Morgan stated that he does concur with what has been said
and that until there is a definitive plan and a strategy to achieve
that plan, that it would be premature at this point to do any more
than we are currently doing. If there is a financial plan that
would require public approval, it would then be prudent on the
Tigard City Council and the Board to develop a plan to ensure that
the public is well informed.
Lynda Jenkins stated that the public input is important. A task
force or a group of people to get together and get the information
out is important but at this time, we are premature in doing this.
Chair Manning stated that she has gotten some input from a group of
young people who questioned why there is nothing in the media
regarding conservation. She has also gotten some input from the
citizens of the City of Durham in this same matter.
Ed Wegner explained why there has not been much publicity regarding
a drought and water restrictions. If you want to purchase surplus
water at a premium price, there is water available. The City of
Portland has been doing community service announcements regarding
water supply and conservation. The City of Tigard has provided
this same type of information to the residents via the City
newsletter. Tigard currently buys its surplus water from the City
of Portland and the City of Lake Oswego and they both have the
water that they need to operate their own systems and therefore are
not going to go on restrictions. The City of Tigard is currently
involved in a program with NW Natural Gas to conserve by
participating in a shower head program, that the City is funding.
The City of Wilsonville did take a lot of heat for their water
restrictions, due to the fact that there was ample water but they
wanted to keep that in storage. There is water available, if you
want to pay the price. Ed Wegner stated that he would be outlining
some conservation matters that need to be implemented within the
next six months for next summer.
Chair Manning questioned what type of heat the City of Wilsonville
take for their efforts with water restrictions. Mr. Wegner stated
that they had received some input from the public that they felt
that they had restricted water usage prematurely. He also stated
that if the water supply got to a critical level where you were
endangering fire flows then you would need to take other measures.
He stated that we need to keep in mind that for the Tigard water
service area, we can purchase all the necessary water needed at a
high price to prevent a critical water shortage. The price will be
paid over the next few years.
Chair Manning questioned how aware the public is of the fact that
our usage this year will effect costs over the next few years? If
they are given a choice with voluntary restrictions compliance
versus paying higher prices in the future for the water source.
She stated that she would like Mr. Polans to be involved with
trying to answer some of these questions.
Commissioner, Lynda Jenkins wanted to introduce the new alternate
to the IWB, Graham Haynes. Chair Manning welcomed him and thanked
him for attending the meeting.

5. Capital Improvement Plan
r
Ed Wegner stated that before getting into the presentation he would
like to bring to their attention a couple of important fact to the
Board. One being that as we have looked at the system the last six
months that they have found that with the growth and the absence of
water supply planning the last few years, we have an immediate,,
near future and long range water supply and demand problem which
need to be addressed immediately. We are currently attempting to
balance these concerns both economically and operationally. Mr„
Wegner stressed, as he stressed to the Tigard Water District last
week that we need to start now. The staff has developed a
timetable to get us to a point of approving this plan by the end of
October. (Timetable distributed to Board)
Mr. Wegner than stated that as a staff, which include the former
City Manager, the Interim City Manager, the Water staff, we have
put together some of the issues that are important (Information
distributed to Board)
- Be a player - not just a buyer of surplus water. We have some
control on when the switch is thrown and how we buy our water
and who supplies it to us.
- Try working with City of Portland - revamping their Contract.
- Phase II study is in progress and is going along but is not
going to solve our problems in the near future and we need to
proceed with other plans and attempt to coordinate regionally.
- Need a contract with the City of Lake Oswego by December 31,
1994 . We may not have a decision on all the negotiations done
on deciding if that will be the way to go long term, but will
need another year or two extension onto the current one year
extension that was granted last year.
Short term problems that need to be kept in mind are:
- Increasing minimum purchases will take five years to buy out.
Until improvements are made with Lake Oswego, they cannot meet
our demands. In July we averaged 8.9 mgd in our system, the
Lake Oswego plant can only accommodate 16mgd and they want to
keep 65-70% of their capacity within their city. During high
demand times they dropped this to 50% and during peak time we
were still purchasing water from City of Portland.
Wells are being put at maximum capacity which is 1.1 mgd. We
are looking at an additional well and changing some rights
around to add some more capacity to that.
Between July 20 and 31, we have peaked demand of 13 .6 mgd.
When Tigard is referenced that includes the whole Tigard
service area.
Commissioner Jenkins questioned if we are using a lot of water then
we will pay for that for a long period of time from Portland, then
why is it not advisable to try to encourage people to try and cut
back on water usage using that as a realistic reason and why do we
encourage people to use this supply? Ed Wegner stated that
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17 , 1994 - Page 3
traditionally people have said to pay the price for the supply, but
we can begin to change that philosophy at any time that we want to.
We are very careful to prevent buying supply during very high peak
times. We can go from .55/100 c.f. currently to 1.10/100 c.f. Some
entities are paying up to 3 .00/100 c.f.
Chair Manning stated that she would hope that we would have the
political courage to say that we have been ignoring reality and
that we have to begin thinking about the future needs. On the
average of 8.9 mgd is that summer use or a yearly average? Ed
Wegner stated that was usage during 22 days in July and the first
part of August. Chair Manning questioned what the normal usage
would be for summer? Mike Miller stated that the last two summers
were wet and did have some restrictions, but historically it has
run 6-7 million gallons per day.
Hal Murray stated that a lot has happened since their last meeting.
At the last meeting they talked in generalities about the water
supply options that they looked at, and contracts with the City of
Portland, what Lake Oswego was doing in the way of studies and what
the cost of water would be if we went with Lake Oswego. Hal Murray
stated that he would review what these supply alternatives were:
City of Lake Oswego gets their water from the Clackamas river. We
have a contract with the City of Lake Oswego for surplus water, but
they cannot supply all the water needed during peak times. We then
need to purchase water from Portland and they use an escalation
clause that states if we peak and use more water than you will
eventually pay more for the water that you use.
City of Portland supply which comes from the Bull Run River and the
Columbia River well fields.
City of Tualatin supply which is the same as the Bull Run supply
since they purchase water from the City of Portland. That supply
has been ruled out.
The City of Hillsboro/Forest Grove/Beaverton system which has a
joint water commission brings water in from the Trask River and
discharges it into the Tualatin where they pick it up and treat it
and pump it up to Forest Grove/Hillsboro/Beaverton. This supply
is not enough to supply anyone other than their current users which
now includes Tualatin Valley Water District which has been brought
in as a partner.
The South Fork Water Board was questioned as a water supply. It
takes its supply out of the Clackamas River which supplies Oregon
City and West Linn and the Claremont Water District. It takes
water out of the river just above Lake Oswego so is essentially the
same water supply but are treated in two different locations. The
South Fork Water Board is currently undergoing some expansion
themselves and have said they cannot sell any surplus water because
they need all of that supply for their own systems.
The Tualatin Valley Water District comes together in the Washington
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17 , 1994 - Page 4
Square area and they supply water to Washington Square. They could
very easily supply some water from their Bull Run Supply.
Willamette River supply near Wilsonville where Tigard as a City
could build their own treatment plant or go in with a regional_
system. Studies are being done on regional approach in the Phase
II study.
Commissioner Swartz questioned the fact that we would need to apply
for water rights and Hal Murray stated that would be the
disadvantage since Tigard does not have those rights. The Tualatin
Valley Water District does have water rights. MSA have done the
water rights analysis for the Phase II study and so are very
familiar with the problems in that area. There was a requirement
for anyone who had water rights prior to 1909 file those right:
with the State Water Resource Department. Some large rights showed
up in those applications, which involved the industries near the
Willamette Falls (James River and PGE) . These water rights that
were claimed actually exceed the flow of the river at Wilsonville,.
The process they will have to go through is quite lengthy and will
involve a court process to determine actual rights. If these
rights are given you will not be able to take water upstream. In
addition, there is another complication which is whether or not
water could be released for municipal use. The Corp has plenty of
water in storage but have no rights under their permits to provide
municipal water. These permits that they bought before the dams
originally were for irrigation and flood control purposes.
TVWD currently has water rights at Wilsonville and they may push
ahead and begin this process. The City of Portland and
Wilsonville are jointly operating a pilot plant at Wilsonville to
look at the water quality and treatability.
Tualatin Valley and Beaverton both are in need of more water and
Tualatin will eventually need more water. This region has the need
for more water.
MSA has narrowed down the alternatives to the City of Lake Oswego,
City of Portland, and Tigard's own supply on the Willamette. The
other options are not really long term supplies, but rather
possibilities for water purchases on short term basis and perhaps
cheaper water.
Commissioner Jenkins questioned whether this also included Tualatin
Valley (#6 of the Executive Summary by MSA)? Hal Murray stated
that was correct. Tualatin Valley cannot commit to a major amount
of supply for a long period of time. But it is recommended that
Tigard keep talking with them in regards to purchasing some water
to help keep the cost of water down. This means there are really
three areas that have been narrowed down which include negotiations
with the City of Lake Oswego and since they need a lot of
improvements, Tigard needs to continue talking with City of
Portland and continue purchasing water from them or start buying
water from the City of Tualatin.
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17 , 1994 - Page 5
Commissioner Morgan questioned alternative #4 (Executive Summary)
which is the Hillsboro-Forest Grove-Beaverton Joint Water
Commission supply. He stated that the supply alternatives that
have been identified reflect existing conditions or the potential,
but have not included the potential for expansion of that option.
In the meeting in June, Mr. Morgan stated that Hal Murray indicated
that there
was a potential of enlarging that supply reservoir due to the
potential growth of Hillsboro-Forest Grove-Beaverton area. Why
wouldn't the City of Tigard be a potential customer or owner of
some additional capacity. Hal Murray stated that they have done a
plan for expanding the Barney Reservoir, however, the actual volume
of water that they will be able to utilize is fairly limited.
George Morgan commented that the Metro Planning Area and the impact
that these kinds of restrictions have on the feasibility of
something that has regional significance. Other than the
Willamette River above Wilsonville, the options are no different
than before the regional study was undertaken. Hal Murray stated
that the Willamette River has the capability of producing a large
supply (100 ,000,000 mgd) that will be a regional supply if built.
The Phase II study will narrow these things down and pin point
future supplies.
Commissioner Swartz stated that one of these supplies being looked
at is a well system on Cooper Mountain. Hal Murray stated they are
looking at recharging the aquifer storage and recovery in the
summer during peak demands. They have also considered building a
third dam at Bull Run. There are really three major systems that
are going to have to be decided upon which are the Willamette, the
Columbia River or Bull Run. Chris Uber stated that they are
already talking of expanding the Clackamas to meet demands.
George Morgan questioned what the incentives are there for better
deals and clarification of unique contracts with Portland? Hal
Murray stated that our current contract with Portland essentially
states nothing about the maximum quantity and yet when we start
using that supply they are questioning our added use. The Phase II
study is seeing growth and Portland is wanting to ensure that they
have enough supply. We are not actually in need of a new contract
but the ability of utilizing our existing contract. Hal Murray
stated that MSA had provided Portland with information in regards
to Tigard's needs and they received back a letter from them with is
included in the Water Supply Plan - Appendix C. This letter
basically does not address committing to supplying Tigard with
water, it does address assignment of the contract from the District
to the City and it questions what the relationship is with our
demands with City of Portland and City of Lake Oswego which Hal
stated they did have from his office.
Ed Wegner stated that after receipt of the letter, Mike Miller,
Bill Monahan and himself meet with them and they questioned the
assumability of the Contract (IGA) . After this meeting, Portland
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17 , 1994 - Page 6
realized that Tigard was buying this water for survival not
storage, but at this time have not received any written response
from them.
Chair Manning questioned whether there was a written commitment to
honor this Contract. Ed Wegner stated that some people in the
Portland Water Bureau felt that the language was not good enough
even though the attorneys for both parties had meet with them at
the time and had agreed upon the Contract. We have had both
attorneys look at the contract and have it straightened out. Other
regional districts would have liked to seen that questioned. Since
Tigard has had a need for additional water they were wanting to
look at the assignability of that contract to state they don't have
any obligation with City of Tigard. Hal Murray stated that the
Contract is void of any mention of assignability which is rare,,
which puts us in a better position than Portland is.
Ed Wegner stated that as long as other water districts in the
regional can meet their supply needs, we should be ok.
Hal Murray talked about the report from the City of Lake Oswego
from their engineers reaffirming the cost of their 1988 Master Plan
and apportioning the cost of improvements needed to supply both
themselves and Tigard and in this document which is included in the
MSA Draft Report, they identified two different scenarios.
Scenario #1 is for the cost of supplying just themselves, while
Scenario #2 is a combination of supplying Lake Oswego and Tigard.
They conducted studies of both costs and it is obvious to everyone
that it is to their benefit to bring Tigard in and supply water to
both parties and water costs will end up cheaper to both parties,
therefore would like Tigard as a partner.
Chris Uber then discussed the evaluation that MSA made of these
water sources and the recommendations that were made. Chris Uber
stated that as Hal Murray had mentioned their recommendations have
been narrowed down to four alternatives. Chris Uber stated that
they needed to develop the criteria to measure each alternative.
'There are 8 criterias which Chris Uber displayed and discussed and
is included in the Draft Report (page E-2) . This ranking system
used with four alternatives (Lake Oswego, Portland, Willamette
River Supply both Tigard and Regionally) , one (1) being the
preferred raking and four (4) being the lowest ranking. Chris Uber
than referred to page S-20 of the Draft Report, paragraph three
(3 ) . Mr. Uber stated that this statement is opening the door for
Tigard to enter into an equal relationship for water supply. With
the City of Portland they have made no indication whether they
would allow the City of Tigard to be part owner in the water supply
system. Portland is waiting the results of the Phase II Study, but
Chris stated that Hal Murray was doubtful that Portland would offer
the City of Tigard an ownership share of the water system.
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17, 1994 - Page 7
Commissioner Swartz questioned Tigard's Contract being the same as
other agencies so other agencies are faced with the same dilemmas
that Tigard is faced with in regards to the use more pay more
aspect of the Contract? Chris Uber stated that in a sense we are
out there alone since part of Portland's rate setting mechanism
works on your five year average use looking back. Tigard has
historically had a very low use and you start ramping that up and
it begins to click up the five year average. The Contracts are the
same but, Tigard is at a disadvantage because of its historical
use. John Swartz questioned that if you go from 10% usage to 50%
then you escalate your costs for the next year based upon the ratio
of past usage to the new usage. Mike Miller stated that this is
true other than the fact that we have been taking water during the
summer. Historically we have used a lot in the summer and zero in
the winter and that is how they get those peak numbers.
Hal Murray stated that the Contract with Portland is a bad contract
and uses a formula that is very hard to understand. Chris Uber
stated that of course if you own your own treatment facility or a
regional facility which you have ownership in would be the most
favorable in regards to contracts.
While Chris Uber discussed the required improvements and estimated
projects costs, he indicated that this was developed with the cost
to improve the supply system up to the year 2020 and they tabulated
these numbers and they are in Section 3 of the Draft Report. Those
results are as follows:
a. City of Portland is 6.05 million dollars.
b. Lake Oswego's total cost to get to the year 2020 is 16.375
million dollars, a portion of which comes from the CH2M Hill
report apportioning improvements.
C. City of Tigard treatment facility with approximate cost of 35
million which was the most expensive alternative.
d. Regional treatment plant looking at 100 million gallons peak
capacity treatment plant in total of 182 million dollars. If
you take a average day of 50 mgd production and you were take
5 mgd, your estimated share would be 10% which works out to be
about 18. 2 million dollars which ranked number 3 .
Chris continued by discussing the estimated cost of water for each
alternative is as follows:
a. City of Lake Oswego estimated cost of water is $1.06/100 cf
b. City of Portland which was difficult to calculate and the
range that is in report is from .85-1.05 per 100 cf which is
comparable to Lake Oswego
C. City of Tigard treatment plant is estimated at 2.00/100 cf
d. Regional facility is 1.08/100 cf
Chris Uber then discussed that in the Phase II report which
identifies cost associated with reallocation issue which involves
taking the water out of storage. Mr. Uber contacted Montgomery
Watson who were the consulting engineers that had did the study if
they had identified a cost to be associated with reallocation and
no one is sure what that cost would be, but it is thought that it
will be from .01 to .05/100 cf.
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17 , 1994 - Page 8
Chris Uber discussed the water rights issues. In the Lake Oswego
document they outline how you could enter into an agreement with
them. They have included water rights in their estimated cost of
the system. If Tigard were to join them, the water rights would
somehow be transferred to Tigard. Hal Murray stated that they do
not actually transfer the water rights they would remain in their-
name but through an IGA would grant the right to use those rights.
George Morgan questioned if Lake Oswego's water rights to the
Clackamas quantifiable? Hal Murray stated that they are.
Chris Uber then passed around a document from the Phase II Supply
Plan that summarizes the water rights. Lake Oswego's total right:
are 56 csf, and they also have 5 mgd rights on the Willamette below
the falls which is not affected by the pre 1990 rights issue.
Chris Uber discussed the water quality and stated that alternative:
that were looked at would meet existing water quality standards and
anticipated future standards. The supply implementation timing is
the time it will take from now to day the water is turned on. The
City of Lake Oswego is approximately 3-5 years, if negotiation:
begin now. The City of Portland which is the shortest time line al:
1-3 years, which includes an improvement of long stretch of 24"
diameter pipeline. City of Tigard 7-12 years with a regional
supply plan could be 5-10 years.
The last criteria looked at was the certainty of supply. Each
alternative can be developed to give you all the water needed but
each has a degree of certainty, which is better expressed by
looking at how to develop entities responded to MSA's questions in
supplying to Tigard (Appendix B of the CH2M Hill Report) whic1i
outlines the plan. Chris Uber stated that he does not read
anything in Appendix D that states that Portland can provide a
supply to Tigard, however, it does state that they can continue to
talk.
Chris stated that the ratings for certainty of supply placed Lake
Oswego with the highest ranking with Portland receiving number two,
Tigard treatment plant on the Willamette received number four due
to the water rights issues and a regional facility on the
Willamette because it is undeveloped, but certain steps have
already been taken to put it ahead of Tigard received a ranking of
number three.
In conclusion, Chris stated that in the final ranking Lake Oswego
is the top ranked alternative with Portland being second, regional
treatment facility if third and Tigard is fourth. It is the
recommendation of MSA that the City enter into negotiations with
the City of Lake Oswego using the document that CH2M Hill prepare
as framework.
John Swartz questioned whether Lake Oswego water costs estimate of
1.06 would that include the expansion. Chris stated that did
include those costs. Commissioner Swartz then stated that if you
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17, 1994 - Page 9
went with Portland, initially your costs could be less but you
would have no guarantees and no ownership. Hal Murray stated that
they are also going to have some expansion needs in the future.
Chris Uber stated that Portland's rate model has the capability of
looking five years into the future, although they cannot tell you
what the rate will be at that time. Chris stated that on page 3-9
of the Water Supply Plan shows how MSA arrived at the figure for
Lake Oswego water.
The Board took a short break at this time and resumed their meeting
at 7 :15 p.m.
Chair Manning stated that at this time she would like to let Hal
Murray, Chris Uber and Ed Wegner decide how they would like to wrap
this meeting up since the Board does need to be out by 7:30 p.m.
and possibly set up an additional meeting in two weeks.
Chris Uber stated that on behalf of MSA he stated that they are
very pleased with this report and would like to summarize the
recommendations. Chris stated that MSA recommends that they go
ahead and begin negotiations immediately with Lake Oswego to
implement a long term water supply. On page E-3 of the report are
the recommendations. Chris then went into a little further detail
by stating that the City should start to develop and execute
agreements upon completion of successful negotiations. Tigard will
also need to be talking with the City of Portland and TVWD. The
City of Portland is going to need to supply Tigard water until the
Lake Oswego supply can come online. One of the issues that need to
be resolved with City of Portland is the cost of water and what
that is going to be. MSA recommends that Tigard review the
existing agreement for water service and discuss with Portland the
benefits of Tigard eventually withdrawing water use and there may
be room to negotiate a way that Tigard will not be penalized for
that withdrawal. There is also a question of capacity to Portland
intertie that also need to immediately talk about. Historically,
Tigard has been able to get 8 mgd, but for some reason we are
getting only 5 mgd, and Tigard will need to get as much as
possible. This may involve sitting down with Portland engineers
and looking at system maps and reviewing. Tigard should also sit
down and talk with TVWD about interim water supply. There is a 24"
diameter main which Mike Miller has included in the City of Tigard
Capital Improvement budget from Bradley Corner to Tiedeman Corner
and it is estimated at approximately $900 ,000 worth of work and we
could possibly avoid doing that for long term supply. There may be
an alternative location than this location for TVWD to supply
Tigard with water. Chris stated that Ed Wegner had pointed out the
wells and Chris suggested that we go through with that plan and to
do what we can to get as much as possible. We will need to look at
a lot of other resources until the Lake Oswego supply is in place.
All of these thirteen recommendations are outlined on pages E-3 and
E-4 and also presented in Chapter five of the report.
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17 , 1994 - Page 10
Chair Manning asked how much time Ed Wegner would need before the
close of the meeting? Ed stated that he would just need a short
time to outline where we need to be headed in the next few months.
Commissioner Jenkins questioned that Tigard area has the geological
needs to utilize aquifers as a means of storage and was that issue
looked at? Hal Murray stated that the regional water study is
looking at aquifer water storage and they have identified two
areas, one of which is Cooper Mountain and the other is located in
Powell Valley. There was one identified in Oregon City some years
ago but it is a fairly minor thing. John Swartz stated that there
is also some concern with where you can tap into these due to
ground water contamination. Chris Uber also stated that the one at
Cooper Mountain is small at only 20 mgd. Hal Murray stated that
the concept of aquifer storage is good although, but there is no
protection of the area which involves risking the loss of the
stored supply. You must also have the supply or the storage is not
an issue.
George Morgan discussed the possibility of a sub regional
association as a back up. Hal Murray stated that it is one of the
recommendations in the study.
John Swartz questioned whether MSA has talked with Lake Oswego
regarding their development of a regional supply concept and
whether they are receptive of putting their treatment plant into
that regional system. Hal Murray stated that what he believes you
will see in the regional plan is that the people that have water
rights on the Clackamas probably will expand to the maximum.
Chair Manning thank Hal Murray and Chris Uber for their
presentation at tonight's meeting.
Ed Wegner stated that he had a timetable to distribute to the Board
with a list of meeting times. Ed Wegner stated that he and Bill
Monahan, the interim City Manager had put this schedule together to
get an adoption of the Plan itself together by the end of October.
Ed Wegner suggested that sometime around the 7th of September or
the 14th of September we have a -joint meeting. The IGA calls for
an annual meeting of any of the jurisdictions and we can invite
those parties together and we would have two things of business to
handle, one which is to review the Water Supply Plan from MSA and
also to review the Division of Assets Reports which is being
provided to the Board tonight. We could have this joint meeting
and then get together with MSA with any needed changes. The week
of October 1st we will be going to the Tigard CIT's (Community
Involvement Teams) and also be available for the City of Durham and
City of King City to make presentation. Prior to the 12th of
October, we will do a press release and have Murray Smith
interviewed as to the recommendations so that at the IWB meeting
scheduled for October 12th we would have one more meeting to
attempt to provide the public with information and have adoption of
the Plan and then be forwarded to the Tigard City Council for their
approval. The first part of November we would hopefully be able to
Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting - August 17 , 1994 - Page 11
begin the process. On August 30th the Tigard City Council has
scheduled a meeting with Murray Smith to make a presentation to the
Council.
Commissioner Jenkins stated that she would be unavailable on the -
7th since that is King City Council Day.
After further discussion the Board decided to have a joint meeting
on September 14 , 1994. On the agenda that evening will be a
presentation by EES on the Division of Assets and Murray Smith and
Associates will review the Water Supply Plan.
Commissioner Jenkins questioned if there would be copies of the MSA
draft report furnished to the different jurisdictions? Ed Wegner
stated that the Tigard City Council had already received copies and
we could provide those to Durham and King City. Lynda Jenkins
requested six additional copies to provide to the King City, City
Council. Peggy Manning requested copies of the Executive Summary
to provide to their City Council and if needed will requests copies
of the full report. The Board discussed meeting at 6:30 instead of
the regular schedule of 5:30.
Ed Wegner stated that he did have a packet for the Board which
includes the Division of Assets Report from EES as well as a copy
of the adopted City of Tigard Budget for 1994/95 and the monthly
report for June.
Commissioner Swartz stated that a Tigard City Council meeting is
scheduled for September 13 with Lake Oswego to discuss the I5-217
issue and since Lake Oswego report is complete they will also be
discussing the water issues. Commissioner Swartz stated that he
would like to get an indication from their Council in regards to -
partnerships. Chris Uber stated that this report is representative
of the Lake Oswego Plan. Lake Oswego at this time have not been
given a copy of Tigard's Water Supply Plan. The Board discussed
