George Mardikes addressed the revised wording in the Agreement on page 7 paragraph B
which envisions 3 out of the 4 jurisdictions approving the capital improvement plan with
mediation available if necessary under ORS Chapter 36. There was discussion regarding

Tigard Water District
December 14, 1993
c. 1% Rebate
The Tigard Water District Board was asked by the participants in the proposed
intergovernmental agreement to prepare a budget based on anticipated costs for the next
18 months. The determined dollar amount would then be set aside in a fund dedicated for
the operation of the TWD and the fund be replenished with the 1% rebate. City of Tigard

The special meeting of the Board of Commissioners reconvened at 9:39 p.m.
Commissioner Morgan outlined for the Board, appropriate and necessary steps to seek
proposals for the allocation of assets. After the discussion, Commissioner Morgan
motioned that the Board proceed to seek proposals for the allocation of assets and rely on
legal counsel to prepare a rough specification, time schedule and if necessary seek outside
assistance in preparing the documents needed to initiate the process and the time schedule
be presented at the next board meeting for future planning. Commissioner Mortensen
seconded the motion. Hearing no further discussion, a voice vote was called for and the
motion passed unanimously.

submitted for review. Attorney Mardikes informed the Board that a revised version of the
letter was signed by the City of Tigard and Chair Haunsperger signed the final document.

filler vacancies for each of the five appointed commissioners on Board at this time.

in the review of the proposed Agreement between Cities of Tigard and King City

This Agreement is made and entered into by the City of Tigard,
an Oregon municipal corporation, (hereinafter "Tigard") and the
Tigard Water District, a domestic water supply district existing
under ORS Ch. 264, (hereinafter "District") . Tigard and District

2 . Pursuant to ORS 222 .540, the District is obligated to
turn over to the Cities its water mains, service installations,
structures, facilities, improvements and other property in the area
withdrawn from the District as it existed on June 30, 1993 ,

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 4 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
4. Division of Oriainal District Assets.
A. Pursuant to ORS 222 . 540 (4) , the District agrees that the
division of assets after withdrawal from the original District by
the Cities shall be consistent with the following concepts:
(1) Assets include real, personal and intangible property.
"Intangible property" includes but is not limited to: moneys,
checks, drafts, deposits, interest, dividends and income.
(2) Assets will be divided into two groups:
a. System Assets: Assets necessary for the operation
of Tigard's water supply system throughout the original
District, not including those "other assets" of Tigard.
Personal and intangible property are system assets.
Water mains, service installations, structures,
facilities, improvements or other property necessary for
operation of the City of Tigard's water supply system
throughout the original District are system assets.
b. Other Assets: Assets not necessary for the
operation of the City of Tigard's water supply system
throughout the original District. Other assets shall
become the property of the jurisdiction in which the
asset is located. Water mains, service installations,
structures, facilities, improvements or other property
not necessary for the operation of the City of Tigard's
water supply system throughout the original District are
other assets.
B. All system assets and other assets shall be pledged by
the Cities and the District to Tigard. All system assets and other
assets shall be managed by Tigard and shall be utilized by Tigard
in order to provide water services to properties, residences and
businesses in the original District.
C. Should one of the Cities or the District terminate its
water service agreement with Tigard, the Cities' and the District's
proportionate interest in a system asset shall be determined based
upon the following formula:
Jurisdiction' s Proportionate Interest = (A + B + C) /3
A = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Consumption in
original District
B = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Real Market
Value in original District
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 5 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
C = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Meters in
original District
The Cities ' and the District's proportionate interest in
a system asset capital improvement shall be based upon the capital
improvement's depreciated value. The depreciated value shall be
based upon the useful life of the capital improvement under
generally accepted accounting principles using a straight line
method of depreciation.
D. Upon termination of this Agreement, other assets shall
become the property of the jurisdiction in which the asset is
located.
5. Asset Ownership/Water Rates/Revenues.
A. Tigard's Utilization of Assets.
(1) The Parties agree that all system assets in which the
Parties have an undetermined proportionate interest and all
other assets received as a result of the division of assets
after withdrawal from the original District by the Cities
shall be utilized by Tigard in order to provide water services
to properties, residences and businesses in the original
District. The District' s ownership interest in the assets
shall remain though the assets are being utilized by Tigard,
unless and until transferred to Tigard by agreement or
operation of law. Tigard will maintain and insure the real
and personal property assets it utilizes. The Parties agree
to execute all documents necessary to allow utilization of the
assets by Tigard.
(2) Tigard agrees that it will maintain, preserve and keep
the assets it utilizes in good repair and working order.
Tigard may appropriate from the water fund all moneys
necessary to meet this obligation.
(3) Tigard shall keep the assets free of all levies, liens
and encumbrances except those created by this Agreement or
consented to by the governing body of the District in writing.
The Parties to this Agreement contemplate that the assets will
be used for a governmental or proprietary purpose by Tigard
and, therefore, that the assets will be exempt from all
property taxes. Nevertheless, if the use, possession or
acquisition of the assets are determined to be subject to
taxation, Tigard shall pay when due all taxes and governmental
charges lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect
to the assets. Tigard shall pay all gas, water, steam,
electricity, heat, power, telephone, utility and other charges
incurred in the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and
upkeep of the assets. Where there is shared use of the
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 6 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
assets, these costs will be shared in an equitable manner.
(4) Tigard shall maintain (i) casualty insurance insuring the
assets against loss or damage by fire and all other risks
covered by the standard extended coverage endorsement then in
use in the State of Oregon and any other risks reasonably
required by District in an amount equal to at least the
replacement value of the assets and, (ii) liability insurance
that protects District, including its officers and
commissioners, from liability arising from Tigard's operation
of the water supply system in an amount satisfactory to
District and (iii) worker's compensation insurance covering
all employees working on, in, near or about the assets as
required under the laws of the State of Oregon. Tigard shall
furnish to District, certificates evidencing such coverage.
All such insurance shall be with insurers that are authorized
to issue such insurance in the State of Oregon, shall name
District as additional insured and shall contain a provision
to the effect that such insurance shall not be canceled or
modified materially and adversely to the interest of District
without first giving written notice thereof to District at
least ten (10) days in advance of such cancellation or
modification. All such casualty insurance shall contain a
provision making any losses payable to Tigard and District as
their respective interests may appear. Tigard may meet any
of these requirements through a self-insurance program. Such
insurance requirements may be waived in writing by the
governing body of the District.
(5) To the extent permitted by law, Tigard shall indemnify,
protect, hold harmless, save and keep harmless District from
and against any and all liability, obligation, loss, claim and
damage whatsoever, regardless of cause thereof, and all
expenses in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, counsel fees and expenses, penalties and interest
arising out of or as the result of the entering into of this
Agreement, the ownership of any asset or any accident in
connection with the operation, use, condition, possession,
storage or return of any asset resulting in damage to property
or injury to or death to any person; provided, however, that
Tigard shall not be deemed to be indemnifying District for
claims arising from its own conduct. The indemnification
arising under this paragraph shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for
any reason.
B. The fees, rates and charges charged by Tigard for
providing water services to properties, residences and businesses
in District shall be the same as those charged within Tigard.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tigard may impose higher fees, rates
and charges for providing water service to properties, residences
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 7 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
and businesses when the cost of providing such service is greater
due to unusual circumstances, including, but not limited to
additional cost to pump water up hill to reach customers. Any
higher fees, rates and charges imposed for providing water service
shall be reviewed by the Intergovernmental Water Board prior to
taking effect and shall be limited to covering the actual
additional costs of providing such service. When higher fees,
rates and charges are imposed, they shall be consistently applied
in both Tigard and the remainder of the original District, except
that at the request of the District, Tigard will collect on behalf
of the District additional charges imposed by the District on
District customers.
C. Moneys/Revenues.
(1) Moneys and revenues for system capital improvement shall
be held by Tigard in a fund dedicated solely for this
purpose.
(2) Moneys transferred to Tigard as a result of the division
of assets after withdrawal from the original District by
Tigard which were previously dedicated by the District
to system capital improvement shall be used solely for
system capital improvement by Tigard in accordance with
subsection 5.D.
(3) Moneys deposited in a reserve fund for revenue bonds of
the water system are not a system asset and are not
subject to the system asset distribution formula in
Section 4 of this Agreement.
(4) The Parties agree to develop a methodology for system
development charges and to impose and collect such
charges in their respective jurisdictions. If any of
the Cities or District fail to impose system development
charges as contemplated herein, then the other parties
may elect to terminate collecting system development
charges within their jurisdictions. The Parties agree
that Tigard should collect the system development charges
imposed by the District until such time as Tigard imposes
its own charge.
D. Capital Improvements.
(1) (a) Capital projects shall be implemented in accord with
a long-range capital improvement program supported by
sound engineering analysis, in the best interests of
water customers within the original District, ignoring
city boundaries.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 8 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
(b) The capital improvement program must be approved by
the governing bodies of one less than the number of
jurisdictions holding an ownership interest in the water
system. A governing body may not unreasonably withhold
consent if the program is supported by sound engineering
analysis, is in the best interests of water customers
within the original District and consistent with the goal
of working together to provide all of the residents and
property in the original District with a clean,
economical water supply. If a proposed capital
improvement program is not approved as provided for in
this subsection, then the governing bodies of any two
jurisdictions may request mediation under the provisions
of ORS Chapter 36 to determine if approval of the program
has been unreasonably withheld.
(c) Tigard shall prepare and deliver to the District a
proposed Capital Improvement Plan no later than June 30,
1994 for consideration by the Cities and the District.
The District' s Capital Improvement Plan dated June, 1993 ,
will guide Tigard' s spending on capital projects until
a capital improvement program is adopted pursuant to
subsection (b) .
(2) The capital improvement program shall establish the
location of a capital improvement whether within Tigard,
King City, Durham or the District and shall distinguish
whether a capital improvement qualifies as a system asset
or other asset.
(3) Capital improvements made subsequent to entering into
this Agreement that are determined to be other assets
shall become the property of the jurisdiction in which
the improvement is located. For capital improvements
made subsequent to entering into this Agreement that are
determined to be system assets, the Cities and the
District each shall have a proportionate interest in such
"system asset" capital improvement's depreciated value.
The depreciated value shall be based upon the useful life
of the capital improvement under generally accepted
accounting principles using a straight line method of
depreciation. The Cities' and the District's
proportionate interest in such "system asset" capital
improvement' s depreciated value shall be determined based
upon the formula in Section 4 .D. of this Agreement.
(4) Should one of the Cities or the District terminate its
water service agreement with Tigard, such jurisdiction
shall have rights to the use of all system assets equal
to its Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest as
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 9 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
determined above. Tigard shall be provided reasonable
compensation for any use of its water system necessary
for the continued reasonable use of a system asset by a
jurisdiction. If the asset is not essential to the
operation of such jurisdiction's water system, Tigard may
terminate such jurisdiction's rights in the system asset
capital improvement by payment of a sum equal to the
Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest in the depreciated
value of such system asset.
(5) The Parties acknowledge that the water system currently
serving the original District is an integrated system.
To the extent that either Party should terminate this
Agreement, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other
and to enter into such agreements necessary for the
continued reasonable operation of the resulting water
systems.
E. Long-term water supply contracts shall be entered into
in accord with the best interests of water customers within the
original District, ignoring city boundaries. Long-term water
supply contracts must be approved by the governing bodies of one
less than the number of jurisdictions holding an ownership interest
in the water system. A governing body may not unreasonably withhold
consent to a contract if the contract is supported by sound
engineering analysis, is in the best interests of water customers
within the original District and consistent with the goal of
working together to provide all of the residents and property in
the original District with a clean, economical water supply. If
a proposed long-term water supply contract is not approved as
provided for in this subsection, then the governing bodies of any
two jurisdictions may request mediation under the provisions of ORS
Chapter 36 to determine if approval of the contract has been
unreasonably withheld.
F. The District shall receive an annual rebate equal to 1%
of the previous year' s water sale revenue within the District for
District expenses. In addition, Tigard, at the District's request,
will appropriate and deliver an amount not to exceed $40, 000 from
Tigard's initial (1/94 to 6/94) water fund budget for District
operating expenses for the period from January 1, 1994 through June
30, 1995. Tigard will reimburse the District from water system
revenues the cost of the District' s Division of Assets study
undertaken to fulfill the District's obligations pursuant to ORS
222. 540.
G. Accounting
(1) Water activities will be accounted for in the same manner
as other enterprise activities currently under the
jurisdiction of Tigard. Expenditures directly linked to
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 10 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
water activities will be recorded in the water fund.
Applicable indirect charges will be apportioned to the
water fund in the same manner as such charges are
apportioned to other enterprise funds to properly reflect
the costs associated with each activity. Tigard shall
use generally accepted accounting principles applicable
to utility enterprises for the recording and identifying
of all revenues and expenditures made for the water
system. The Intergovernmental Water Board shall review
such allocation and methodology.
(2) The accounting method used by Tigard shall, to the extent
possible, document the use of assets by Tigard for non-
water system activities. Use of assets by Tigard for
non-water activities shall be funded from resources other
than the water fund.
H. The Parties to this Agreement shall not have the right
to transfer ownership of or remove system assets or any interest
therein received or kept as a result of the Cities' withdrawal from
the original District or any interest in system assets acquired
during the term of this Agreement without written consent of the
other Party. Neither the benefits received by the District nor the
obligations incurred under the terms of this Agreement are
assignable or in any manner transferrable by the District without
the written consent of the City.
I. No part of this Agreement shall be interpreted as a
waiver of either Party' s statutory rights upon annexation of
territory.
6. Indebtedness.
A. Each of the Parties shall be liable for their respective
share of the debt, if any, acquired or retained as a result of the
Cities' withdrawal from the original District.
B. Tigard may incur, without the consent of the District,
debt relating to the water supply system, provided payment of the
debt is fee, rate or charge based. If the debt is to be paid for
by means other than fees, rates or charges, Tigard must have
approval and consent of the governing body of the District in
writing prior to incurring such debt. The District shall be liable
for its proportionate share of any debt for which it has given its
written approval and consent.
C. Tigard is authorized to perform the function and activity
of incurring water revenue bond indebtedness for the water system
by authorizing the issuance of water revenue bonds pursuant to ORS
288.805 to 288.945, as amended, for the financing of water system
capital improvements. Such debt may be secured by a pledge of
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 11 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
water system revenues, appropriate rate covenants, and mortgaging
of water system assets. Tigard may not mortgage water system
assets without first receiving the written consent of the Cities'
and District's governing bodies.
D. If this Agreement is terminated by either Party and
indebtedness remains under Section 6.A. or has been incurred and
approved by the District in manner described in Section 6.B. ,
District shall either:
1. Pay in full, within 60 days of the effective date
of termination, its proportionate share of the
indebtedness; or
2 . Pay annually its proportionate share of the
indebtedness as payment is due.
7. Services Provided By Tigard.
A. Tigard will provide water to properties and customers in
all jurisdictions equally. If circumstances require water
restrictions, each jurisdiction shall share equally. The District
may not sell water provided through this Agreement to a third party
without the prior written consent of Tigard.
B. Tigard will provide equally and in a manner consistent
with the terms of this Agreement all services required for delivery
of potable domestic water to properties and customers within the
cities of King City and Durham as well as the territory of the
District, including but not limited to system repair and
maintenance, water distribution, new installations, system
upgrades, and billing functions. Tigard is under no obligation to
provide such water services to areas annexed to the District
subsequent to this Agreement.
C. District agrees that Tigard is empowered to use any right
of condemnation possessed by the District that is necessary to
provide water services consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
and will take any action necessary for Tigard to exercise that
right on the request of Tigard.
D. To the extent that such agreements or contracts are
transferrable, the District agrees to take the necessary action to
transfer its water supply agreements or contracts with the City of
Portland and the City of Lake Oswego to Tigard in order to
facilitate the provision of water services consistent with the
terms of this Agreement.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 12 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
E. The District may use the former Tigard Water District
