ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
1. Resolution to approve minutes of last meeting.
2. Visitor's
3. Resolution to designate prime contractor per bids to construct
1-million gallon reservoir at Hi Tor, contingent upon results of special
bond election.
It has been determined that the new reservoir on Bull Mountain must
be in operation by next May 1st if we are to keep pace with anticipated
growth in that area. Substantial savings can result in the bid price if
wr• the contractor can commence construction in September in lieu of January
or February when the weather becomes a factor. Accordingly, Elden Carter
was requested to prepare detailed plans and specifications, and advertise
for bids to be opened at the next regular meeting. At least 6 qualified
and approved contractors have indicated a desire to bid.
Elden. Carter will be present at the next meeting to show the plans
and assist in explaining the details. He has done considerable work on
the project and the plans appear to be well prepared.
You may expect most of the contractors to be present for the bid
opening.
The designation of a prime contractor will not bind the District to
actual construction until approval for bond issue is granted by the public.
Estimated cost of construction should not exceed $90,000. The bid
will not include the installation of mains to Bull Mountain Road or land-
scaping of the site. Subsequent specifications will be prepared for those
contracts.
Recommendation: Accept lowest qualified bidder.
4. Resolution to establish capital improvements, amount of funds, and date
for special bond election.
Copies of the water study prepared by SUR were distributed to the
Commissioners on July 2nd. It appears to be an excellent, comprehensive
document and should prove invaluable in our planning for future construction.
Gil Meigs is prepared to make an oral presentation to both District and City
officials at your convenience. A special meeting will be scheduled.
-1-
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
Elden Carter, John Miller, and I are reviewing the study in detail
and will present a priority list with expected costs at the next meeting.
It would be beneficial to have an informal discussion of the proposed
capital improvements prior to the regular meeting, commencing at 6:30 p.m.
I will be calling each of you to remind you of this time and date. At
that time John and I will be prepared to identify our priority projects
and the recommended amount of the bond issue to be requested. At this time
it appears that the amount will be about $800,000.
An increase in water rates commencing next July 1st would seem to be
the best method to raise the funds. For each $100,000 borrowed for 20
years @ 6% interest, an annual payment of $8,600 (principal and interest)
will be due. The following summarizes the annual payments:
Amount Borrowed Annual Payment
$ 400,000 $ 34,400
500,000 43,000
600,000 51,600
700,000 60,200
800,000 68,800
900,000 77,400
1,000,000 86,000
In order to get a favorable response on the bond election it would
be advisable to indicate that no increase in taxes will occur. Next
Spring a review of our water rate structure will be in order.
The date of the bond election should be subsequent to the August
regular meeting which will be held on August 10th. Tuesday, August 17th
is suggested for election day. (Temperature forecast for that day: 105°).
Ken Baines has done considerable work in preparation for the special
bond election.
Recommendation: Establish capital improvements, amount of funds to be
requested, and date of election.
5. Resolution to increase overhead costs for pipe line construction from
5% to 107..
It has been determined that 5% of the total construction costs on pipe
line construction dues mot cower our costs. This 5% includes inspections,
administration, water sampling, water losses, etc. A survey of other water
districts revealed the following:

Metzger 77.
Aloha-Huber 77.
Capitol Highway 107.
Wolf Creek 107.
Lake Grove 157.
River Grove 157.
Tualatin 157.
An increase to 107. would appear appropriate.
Recommendation: Approve, effective July 1, 1971.
6. Resolution to accept new water rates for Bull Run water purchased
from Capitol Highway and Metzger Water Districts.
Effective July 1, 1971 increased water rates per 100 cubic feet '
purchased from adjacent water districts are as follows:
District Before Now Increase
Metzger 300 360 60
Capitol Highway 33c 38c 50 + $200 monthly
minimum
Capitol Highway has established a monthly minimum of $200 for the
meter standby. This is clearly in violation of our existing agreement
which expires October 1, 1973. However, I am reluctant to object as they
could conceivably raise the consumption rate to 39c or 400 and we have no
recourse. We need the water.
The Chairman, Capitol Highway Water District, has extended an invi-
tation for you to attend their next regular meeting on July 14th. (See
attached letter).
Recommendation: Approve as submitted.

'RV' ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
7. 72nd and Bonita Road connection
All Commissioners were notified that the Metzger Water District desired
to hold a meeting on Monday, June 28th, to discuss the TWD proposal for a
main connection at S.W. 72nd and Bonita Road. However, on the Thursday prior
to the scheduled meeting a preliminary meeting was held in which only Clarence
Nicoli was invited.
At the preliminary meeting the discussion was apparently diverted to
the feasibility of MWD utilizing our Baylor Street reservoirs. Many present
felt that a tentative agreement had been reached in which the TWD would give,
lease, or sell one or both reservoirs to MWD. Clarence Nicoli indicated
that no such agreement was reached, but that our Board would discuss the
matter.
On July 7th Mr. Haggland, Chairman of MWD, advised me that his Board
""� was split in opinion on our proposal for the connection. Most of all, they
believe that a temporary connection would eventually be a permanent one and
that a future shut-off would be impractical. Also they feel that they have
a responsibility to those residents in that area and believe they can ade-
quately serve the area within a few years. On the other hand, they do not
want to be the ones to refuse water service to the Tigard High School.
Their opinion of the situation appears to have some merit and a tem-
porary connection may be impractical.
Mr. Haggland has requested a special joint meeting of the two Boards
soon to discuss the Baylor Street reservoirs. It is believed that profes-
sional engineering assistance is needed to properly advise the Board. I
do not know the exact details of the proposal and believe that it should be
spelled out by those who desire some of our assets, namely the MWD.
Considerable work was done by this office to present our proposal to
all involved parties on the 72nd and Bonita connection. This included
engineering advice on fire hydrant flows, cost estimates, plans and
specifications, correspondence to the School District, Fire District,
Insurance Rating Bureau, 4 corporations, MWD, etc. A specific proposal
was delineated in writing in which all parties could weigh the advantages
and disadvantages. Likewise, it appears incumbent upon MWD to make known
to us exactly their intentions and proposals regarding the Baylor Street
reservoirs.
Any modification of the present system will require extensive study
from an engineering and legal standpoint. We do encourage such a study,
but at this time it is not clearly understood what the proposal is.
According to Elden Carter there are many alternatives that could be con-
sidered. Perhaps both districts can be mutually supporting to a gEeater
extent than at present. The possibilities are extensive and there is
mutual ground for benefits to be derived from both districts.
Recommendation: Approve a special joint meeting with MWD for Monday,
July 19, 1971 -4-
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
8. Water service to Tigard High School
Water service to Tigard High School via 72nd and Bonita connection
has been examined again in view of the objections of MWD. The engineering
study indicates another course of action to serve the high school. Three
possibilities exist as follows:
a. Extend main from Pacific Highway and Durham Road.
b. Install metered connection with Lake Grove Water District at
intersection of Upper Boones Ferry Road and Durham Road.
c. Extend main from Reservoir #1 to 98th and Durham Road.
It appears that "c" above is the best solution. This line must be
laid at some time in the near future if we are to serve the southeast part
of the district. No rebate or assistance will be available from the
residents for the installation of this transmission main from Reservoir
#1 to 98th and Sattler Street. (3400' of 12" C.I.-- estimated cost $49,000).
Along 98th Avenue between Sattler and Durham, adjacent property owners can
be served by gravity flow and charged for the main installation on a pro-
rata basis upon connecting. The School District would have the same cost
for 3450 feet from 98th and Durham to Highway #217 as from 79th to 92nd
Avenue. This proposal conforms to the STR study and is listed as a major
addition, 2nd priority (Page 38, #5).
This route would be advantages to both the TWD and the School District.
It would reduce the burden on the Little Bull Mountain pressurized system.
Funds would have to be appropriated from the new bond issue and would
be an excellent selling point.
The 8" main presently being installed along 79th Avenue will eventual
loop with the 12" main on Durham. The fire hydrant to be installed at 79th
and Durham will provide some protection to the Durham Grade School. There-
fore, our investment there has not been wasted. Approximately one-half of
those residents along 79th Avenue have expressed a willingness to participate
in the cost of that main.
Recommendation: Appropriate funds from the new bond issue to complete
this line.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
9. New cash balance on July 1, 1971
The FY72 budget predicted a beginning cash balance of $24,862 on July 1,
1971. Actual cash balance on that date was $17,155 (including $11,000 in
Time Deposits). This depicts a somewhat erroneous picture as the 8" pipe
for the 79th Street installation was purchased and paid for prior to June 30th.
This job was budgeted for fiscal year 1972. The cost of this pipe was about
$8,000.
10. Work performed by TWD personnel
a. Installed 200 feet of 12" cast iron pipe plus one fire hydrant to
by-pass transmission main at Canterbury Square Shopping Center for Iron
Mountain Investment Company.
b. Installed 12" tee, solid sleeve, and gate valve in transmission
main south of Coe Manufacturing Company for Columbia Hardware.
c. Installed 500 feet of 6" cast iron plus one fire hydrant on 114th
Place, south of Tigard Avenue, for A. J. Paterson.
d. Unloaded 3000 feet of 8" cast iron pipe for installation along
79th Avenue.
e. Performed extensive preventative maintenance on all pumps, meters,
vehicles, and equipment.
11. Work schedule for next few months
a. Install 3000 feet of 8" cast iron pipe plus 3 fire hydrants along
79th Avenue to Durham Road. (Pipe extension program)
b. Install copper services to 17 new homes for A. J. Paterson on
114th Place.
c. Install 12" tee, solid sleeve, and gate valve in transmission main,
south of Coe Manufacturing Company for Georgia-Pacific.
d. Install 100 feet of 8" cast iron plus one fire hydrant on Hi Tor
Drive in preparation for new reservoir construction.

Re: Well Water Supply
Dear Mr. Santee:
Wow
The enclosed letter was received by us on June 7, and we believe
you will be vitally interested in it. The next-to-last paragraph is
of great importance.
This suggests to us that perhaps purchase of the Baggenstos well
may be the only way to add more ground water to your supply system.
We doubt if the contents should be made a matter of general public
information without consent of the State Engineer.

De:.r Sir:
Your letter of Plarch 17, 1971 was forwarded to me this
date. Evidently, the letter was misplaced with other office
w err correspondence and for this delay, I apologize.
Our office at the r,rescnt time is working on a critical
ground water determination for the Cooper ountain - Bull
• mountain area ofWashington County. ;tater level observations
in key wells in the Tualatin basin indicate a steady water
level decline of 4 to 8 feet each year. It arpears that the
annual withdrawal rate is greater than the annual recharge
rate. lhe 'e.Gore, we believe that a mining situation occurs
within the critical ground water area. Some control on the
withdrawal of ground water from existing wells will be required
to reduce the present, rate of decline. This also su ?gests
that outside sources of -.,Tater will be required if continued
growth of population and industry are to be maintained within
the critical area.
I am sending under separate cover a copy of our ground
• water report Yo. 15 entitled Ground Water Levels 2::,67-19(3.
This report contains hydrnLr apps of observation wens within
the critical area and are shown on pages 19 and 21. Additional
hydrograph information is on file with this office and would
be made available to you for inspection should you wish to
have your personnel review our office records.
A large percentage of the ground water withdrawals within ,
the area are not metered. Therefore, the annual withdrawals
of ground water arc arnval recharge rates can only be estimated

rate of water level decline is a l:ey factor in the dcclara-
`11rr+ tion of this crit: cal ground :,rater area. Applications for
new wells within the area are not being accented and it may
necessary to control water use based on relative priority
dates of individual wells.
If water level data or well log information on file with
this office can be of assistance to you, we would be pleased
to make that information available.

Re: Tigard Water District
1971 Bond Issue
Dear Howard:
We are the attorneys for the Tigard Water District.
The District has authorized us to retain your office for the pur-
�=' poses of examining the transcript and for preparation of a legal
opinion as to the validity of this bond issue.
As I indicated to you during our recent telephone conversation,
the District intends to pass the enclosed resolution at its regu-
lar July, 1971 meeting and hold the election for the authority to
sell bonds during the month of August, 1971.
Also enclosed are Notice of Special Bond Election, Official Bal-
lot, and a copy of the Affidavit signed by the Director of Revenue
and Taxation for Washington County, Oregon.
At this time, the District does not know the amount of the bond
issue or the specific purposes for which the money will be used;
however, the amount will not be less than $300,000 and not more
than $1 million.
The true cash value of all property within the District upon the
1967-68 tax rolls was $49,996,820. The District's last bond issue,
which you approved, was held in September, 1968. There have been
many annexations to the District since September, 1968, most of
which have been without the approval of 100 per cent of the prop-
erty owners and have been after the creation of the Boundary Re-
view Commission.
It will be appreciated if you will advise me as soon as possible
which annexation transcripts, if any, you wish to examine. I
Mr. Howard Rankin
Page 2
June 21, 1971
anticipate it will take some time to obtain these, and I hope you
will feel this is not necessary.
I have instructed the District to discontinue all annexations until
after the sale of the bonds.

Re: June 30, 1971 Annual Audit
Tigard Water District
Gentlemen:
'=;\ We are the attorneys for the Tigard Water District and, to our
knowledge, there is no pending litigation wherein the District is
a party.
I have been advised that Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith,
Inc. , intends to commence an action wherein the District will be
named as a defendant regarding Tigard Water District Bonds No.
B-90 through B-lOS, which bonds allegedly were stolen from the
Prairie City Branch of the First National Bank of Oregon. Mr.
Orrin Forest allegedly was the owner of the bonds at the time of
their theft. Each of the bonds was in the face amount of $1,000,
and Bonds No. B-90 through B-98, inclusive, will mature November
1, 1973, and Bonds No. B-99 through B-105, inclusive, on November
1, 1974.
Mr. Forest has delivered a lost-securities bond wherein the Dis-
trict is the obligee and Peerless Insurance Company of the State
of New Hampshire is the surety. The face amount of the bond is
$22,697.50. Peerless Insurance Company has agreed to defend the
District and to hold the District harmless against this claim.
To my knowledge, there are no judgments against the District. You
may wish to inquire of Mr. Robert E. Santee, Superintendent of the
Tigard Water District, to ascertain whether or not there are unre-
solved issues from contracts and agreements involving disputes.

Re: Water Hate Increase
460 Centtemen;
Effective July 1, 1971, the City of Portland will increase water rates
25 percent. Also, the electric rate has recently increased anuroximately
10 percent. As a result of the increases mentioned above, the water
rate to Tigard Water District has been increased.
At the re,. alar monthly meeting of the hoard of Commissioners heii on
