ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
1. Resolution to approve minutes of last meeting,.
2. Resolution to pay vouchers.
3. Visitors.
4. Resolution to increase fire sprinkler rates from $5 to $10 per
month for services 6-inch and below. and from $5 to $15 per month
for services 8-inch and above. effective May 1. 1974.
This increase will effect the 26 establishments shown on the
next page. Additional revenue will amount to $2,460 annually which
will contribute toward paying the bonded indebtedness.
It should be noted that these were the firms which gained the
most in savings on insurance premiums when the fire district was
re-graded from a Class 6 to Class 4. The water district was instru-
mental in attaining this excellent rating which required extensive
capital improvements at high costs. For example, Fought and Company
or Gerber Blades who are each assessed close to a million dollars,
the amount of savings realized is about $420 annually, depending upon
the type of construction. It is believed that they should share some
of this savings with the water district.
As a comparison, effective July 1st, Portland Bureau of Water
Works will increase fire sprinkler rates by as much as 15 times its
present rates as shown below:

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
5. Resolution to annex 58 acres for development called "Windsor,
Heights" consisting of 24 homes to be constructed near West Colony
Park, south of Bull Mountain Road.
This development was discussed by the Board on February 8,
1972 (2 years ago) at which time George Scott, Chester Warnock and
Fred Warnock, developers, appeared before the Board. At that meeting
the Board agreed to serve water to the area, but not to annex it.
A. plot plan has been submitted and the developers are now
requesting annexation so that the matter can be approved by the
Boundary Review Commission. Under present statutes, no water mains
can be extended outside district boundaries without the Boundary
Review Commission's approval. Map on page 8 shows the area.
6. Other business.
a. Tour of Lake Oswego treatment plant has been arranged
low immediately following the meeting. I think you will enjoy viewing
this facility and understand why John Miller and I are sold on this
source of water.
I intend to invite others to take this tour, including Hugh
Brown, Les Rawls, Martin Johnson, Al Popp, Bill Bieker, Bill Heppner,
George Guthrie, Duane Meyer, Pete Gerber, Arden Manning, and any others
who may be interested. Wives are invited too. The tour should start
about 8:30 p.m.
to be
Others,/invited are the budget committee, George Maleta, Floyd
Bergmann, Gertrude George, Bill Masters, and George Penrose.
b. Budget meeting. The first budget meeting has been scheduled
for 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 14th, immediately following the regular
Board meeting. The proposed budget will be sent to each member of the
committee prior to that date. Since there will be several new members
on the budget committee, the budget message may be more lengthy than
usual.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
7. Report of resolution to recommend to Tri-County Water Districts
Association that an attorney be retained to determine the merits of
filing a lawsuit against Portland Bureau of Water Works on water rates.
The Association met on March 21st at the Hazelwood Water District
office. The proposed resolution was discussed and met with disaster.
There was absolutely no support for it.
George Birnie, attorney, attended the meeting and expressed the
belief that Portland was vulnerable by applying the Systems Development
Charge (SDC) to outside customers. He thought Portland could not be
challenged on the rate increase because they were entitled to a profit.
A court would have to decide if the profit were arbitrary or unreasonable.
Ken Baines has indicated that, among other things, since Portland
is not supported by property taxes, that the disparity in rates could be
attacked.
A consensus of the water districts indicated that, by a 10 to 1
margin, they preferred the SDC versus the additional rate increase.
Most desired this charge because they have very little growth, and thus,
would cost their district nothing. For example, West Slope had negative
growth last year, and the actual number of meters decreased. If Portland
approves the SDC, those districts with high growth will bear most of the
burden.
Other reasons for not challenging the City of Portland included:
(a) Proposed city-county merger.
(b) Proposed merger of 6 water districts by the Boundary
Review Commission. -- Powell Valley, Hazelwood, Menlo Park, Gilbert, etc.
(c) A belief that both the rate increase and SDC are justified
and that Portland needs the additional funds to build their system.
(d) A belief that if the Association were successful in court
in eliminating the SDC, that Portland would merely impose the additional
rate increase.
Since most of the districts are happy or at least satisfied with the
new rate structure there is no reason to fight the case. Certainly, it
will effect us the least as we intend to use as little Bull Run water as
possible. It would appear that a likely candidate to file or support a
lawsuit would be the Oregon Homebuilders Association with its 900 members.
They, in effect, will be paying most of the cost to construct the improve-
ments for the Bull Run system.
