regarding such an agreement. The board agreed to meet with the Board

ington County would wholesale water to districts and cities. Motion

Baines recommended and the board agreed to build the new reservoir at

parcels of land owned by the Tigard Water District.
It was moved to approve the May 20th billing at the existing (old) water
rates. June 20th shall be the 1st full 2-month billing on the new rates.
Motion carried.
Ken Baines was requested to prepare a legal document, for the chairman' s
signature at the next regular meeting, advising Metzger Water District
