Dr. Bissett stated that he was convinced that either the con-
tractor, Mr. Wiggins, or Tigard Water District would ensure that the
dirt which was dumped on his property from the High Tor reservoir
excavation would be leveled. It was suggested that the matter be
w.• returned to the Administrator, that the district assume responsibility
for leveling, and that the Administrator work it out with the con-
tractor. A motion was made to negotiate with the contractor for a
settlement between the district and the contractor as to the leveling
of the dirt dumped on Dr. Bissett's property. Motion carried.

denied. Motion carried.
