City of Tigard's Proposed Agreement
David Knowles, Attorney, reviewed with the Board of Commissioners, the proposed draft
Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Tigard and the Tigard Water District
for Delivery of Water Service to Territory within the District Boundaries.
Each section was reviewed separately and key items were discussed when appropriate.
Attorney Knowles made notes regarding the concerns of the Tigard Water District Board
of certain areas of the agreement needing clarification and/or revision.
After general discussion regarding the draft proposed agreement and the Joint Water
Agency as it exists, Commissioner Morgan suggested that, as a Board at the September 29
meeting, recommend an alternate course of action to the agreement.
At this time, Commissioner Morgan motioned that at the September 29 meeting, the
Tigard Water District:
(a) express appreciation of the opportunity to review in advance, the draft proposal by the
City of Tigard;
(b) indicate there are a number of technical issues requiring additional study and review to
ensure that the unincorporated area understands the full impact of the agreement if
approved; and
(c) express disappointment that the Joint Water Agency is not, by the proposed
agreement, being given the opportunity to become a unifying force. Commissioner
Morgan further moved that the TWD Board would be more receptive to a Joint Water
Agency with a reconstituted membership and responsibilities for a period of 18 months
as the first phase of a two phase undertaking. Commissioner Froude seconded the
motion and after discussion, a voice vote was taken and the motion was approved
unanimously.
