he was working with the staff at Tualatin Valley Water District on
evaluating two possible locations for interties (Bradley Corners and
Baylor Street Reservoirs) . The connection at Bradley Corners would be
with a 24" gravity line at an elevation of 426, the other improvements
to their system would be to increase the 10" meter to 16" meter at 80th
and Florence Lane. The Baylor Street connection would be made with
Tualatin Valley Water District 498 zone. The City of Tigard will be
contracting with Murray Smith and Associates to evaluate and model these
hydraulic conditions and recommend a course of action.
4. INTERGOVERNMENTAL MINUTES
The Tigard Water District requested to see minutes of the
Intergovernmental Water Board meetings in their agenda packets. Mr.
Wegner stated that these would probably be in draft form, due to the
schedules of Tigard Water District and Intergovernmental Water Board
meeting, because the IWB would not meet to approve minutes until after
the TWD Monthly Meeting.
5. ITEM FOR THE FUTURE
Commissioner Morgan asked that Tigard Water District's role in providing
water to the unincorporated area be placed on the November Tigard Water
District Agenda. Commissioner Morgan had three questions regarding this
issue:
a. Does the IGA in it's operational responsibilities adequately
represent the policy objectives and interests of the unincorporated
area?
b. Are there responsibilities beyond the IGA and/or the City of
Tigard, that TWD needs to address? What additional duties and
responsibilities does the TWD have?
c. Is the public well served with the continued existence of the TWD?
Mr. Wegner stated that the staff was doing everything possible to
provide water services fairly through out the water service area. Mr.
Morgan agreed and stated his concerns were directed toward the
Intergovernmental Agreement. Mr. Wegner asked the Board Members if they
desired to have their attorney present at the next meeting to answer
their legal questions regarding the Intergovernmental Agreement? The
Board members stated that they did not wish to have their attorney
present, but did wish to discuss the topic.
The next regular scheduled meeting of the Tigard Water District will be
Monday, November 21, 1994 at 7 :00 p.m. in the Water Building Conference
Room.
Commissioner Haunsperger motioned to adjourn and the Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Mortensen. The Motion carried and the meeting was
adjourned at 7: 31 p.m.
