5. Update on Bylaws and Bylaw Modifications
The board decided to postpone further review of updates to the bylaws until after the results of the November
election were received. The election results for incorporation could possibly change the nature of the TWD
board;the board did not want to incur the expense until the outcome was known. Commissioner Froude
suggested they review the bylaws and adhere to them.
Commissioner Delphine requested a copy of the bylaws and Commissioner Rhine said he would send a
copy to him at his new email address.
Commissioner Rhine postponed the election of officers until later in the agenda.
7. Water Supply Update—Brian Rager/John Goodrich
Brian Rager complimented John Goodrich's staff for their preparation for the heat wave by ramping up
water supplies so Tigard was ready for whatever was to come. The peak came on Sunday at 13.4mgd,
which was lower than in past years. The conservation program may be accredited by making people more
aware of water usage.
(Commissioner Charles Radley arrived at 7:13)
There was a short discussion about the studies made for energy efficient appliances. Mr. Rager commented
that in the past Tigard has had rebate programs for energy efficient washing machines. John Goodrich said
most energy efficient appliances provide a 10-15% savings according to manufacturer's information.
Tigard currently has a landscape rebate program.
Mr. Eager said it was good to have ASR#2 up and running. ASR#2 has a capacity of pumping up to
2.5mgd,but due to staff preparation it was not necessary to pump at that high rate. Future plans for
additional ASR wells are being explored in the same vicinity. A test well would be drilled first,the hydro
geologist would run tests on the aquifer's performance and,if the results are good,the well would be
expanded to a larger production well.
Commissioner Rhine requested a map of the Tigard Water service area be provided to the board for
reference. Mr. Rager explained the map's boundaries of the water service area,the incorporated city areas,
proposed property annexation areas and the proposed Bull Mountain City areas. The map clearly indicated
the areas that would remain in the unincorporated area. Mr.Eager distributed the smaller maps to board
members and Lisa Hamilton-Treick. He was short one map,but would provide that to Commissioner Froude.
8. IWB Update—Beverly Froude/Janet Zeider
Commissioner Froude said that Mr.Rager covered most of the IWB information; she also stated the IWB
had a meeting on the issue of the Menlor reservoir site. TWD did not vote.
Lake Oswego—Mr.Eager reported the analysis study continues with an approximate completion in
October. There are ongoing efforts to complete studies so similar comparisons and decisions could be
made on how to proceed.
9. Non-Agenda Items
Commissioner Charles Radley asked about the housing density issues in providing water to the undeveloped
areas 63 and 64. He wanted to know if it was a cost issue or technical issue,if bringing in Willamette Water
to the system would change the issue,and what long-term plans were being made. Mr.Eager said staff would
report next month on the water issues that were presented at the special meeting tomorrow night.
