1. Resolution to appoint Mr. Harold A. Myers as Commissioner to complete
the unexpired term of Mr. Lester Rawls until the next regular election on
December 3, 1973. (Position #5).
Ken Baines will be absent for the meeting; therefore, the Chairman
should administer the oath of office to Mr. Myers, as follows:
"I, Harold A. Myers, being first duly sworn on oath,
depose and state:
I will as Commissioner of the Tigard Water District
perform my duties as Commissioner in conformity with
the laws of the United States, the State of Oregon
and ordinances and regulations of the Tigard Water
District".
2. Resolution to approve minutes of last meeting.

3. Visitors.
Mr. George Marshall intends to appear before the board to request
that Tualatin Development Company be charged a reduced amount from the
normal 18% for overhead and engineering for the Summerfield development.
Tualatin Development Company has expended several thousand dollars
by installing 5 extra lateral mains (4 - 8", 1 - 6") to Durham Road from
the development. Also, the 12" main installed through the development
was oversized, and the circulation loop completed to Pacific Highway in
accordance with the master plan. Tualatin Development Company has
cooperated fully with the water district by installing, as requested,
extra fire hydrants, gate valves, etc.
Normally the district receives 10% of the total construction costs
for overhead, administration, inspections, water loss, etc. , and 8% for
engineering. The 8% for engineering should remain as the regulations
prescribe because this would be the normal fee no matter who performed
the engineering. The 10% is negotiable. It is believed that the "extras"
would total about 5% of construction costs. Therefore, it is recommended
that 5% be used in lieu of the normal 10% for administration and overhead.
Thus, a total of 137. would be received for the Summerfield development.

4. Resolution to pay vouchers.
5. Resolution to approve lowest, acceptable bid for pump station at
#2 reservoir to transmit water to Bull Mountain.
The last project from the bond fund promised the voters in August
1971 was the installation of a pump station to transmit water to Bull
Mountain. Specifications have been prepared and forwarded to 3 pump
manufacturers for bid proposals.
A subsurface "can" will be installed, similar to the Bonita Road
pump station, at #2 reservoir with provisions for 2 - 100 hp pumps,
one of which will be installed now. Each pump will be capable of pumping
1 mgd which is in accordance with the master plan of ST&R.
Telemetry will be an integral part of the pump station to include
recorders for flow rate, pressures, and reservoir levels of #2 and Hi
Tor.
An uneducated guess on cost is between $20,000 and $30,000.

6. Other business.
7. Direct connection to Bull Run system at Bradley Corner.
This connection should be operational within 2 - 3 weeks. A satis-
factory pressure test and potable sample must be received.
Portland Bureau of Water Works has completed the dual master meter
vault at Bradley Corner. However, the 10" Rockwell meter has not been
received. It will be 'Hropped in" upon arrival.
It will take a few weeks to install the telemetry for the system.
The flow rate from the electric meter will be recorded at the shop. Also,
the cla-valve (on/off; pressures), located in a vault at Tiedeman and
Greenburg Road, will be remotely controlled at the shop.
This connection will be used as a "standby" at $5 per month. A
particularly nice feature about this connection is that one does not have
to ask permission each time to turn the valve.

8. Shop building addition.
Drawings of the proposed addition to the shop on Little Bull
Mountain were presented to the Tigard Planning Commission for
approval on August 7th. They desire more elaborate landscape plans.
The case will be presented again at the August 21st hearing.
Upon approval, it is requested that the Chairman of the Board
be authorized to approve and hire sub-contractors for the construction.
Personally, I believe the Chairman should be reimbursed for this
service as he is doing a general contractors duties.

Gent :emen:
Your letters of July 13 and August 1, 1973 are acknowledged.
At a special meeting last night the Board of Commissioners adopted
a course of action which we believe will permanently resolve the water
service problem in the industrial area. The proposal is outlined in a
letter to the Metzger Water District, a copy of which is enclosed.
We sincerely believe that the Tigard Water District can best serve
all the customers, both domestic and fire protection water, in the
industrial area. Further, with another connection to the 16" main at
72nd and Bonita Rood, fire flows will be better than ever. Also,
specific problem areas can be isolated without loss of water to other
users by serving from two different directions.
It is hoped that an equitable solution can be achieved at an early
date. As for Tigard Water District, we can implement the proposal within
days if Metzger Water District agrees. Your personal support of this
proposal at the Metzger meeting on Monday, August 13th, would be bene-
ficial.
Very truly yours,
•

Gentlemen:
At a special meeting of the Board of Commissioners on August 9,
1973, recent correspondence regarding fire protection to the industrial
area along S. W. 72nd Avenue was reviewed. Evidently, the Metzger Water
District installation of an additional 12-inch cast iron main along 72nd
Avenue, north of Hunziker Street, did not solve the fire flow problem as
proposed. It appears that unless a reservoir is constructed Metzger will
be unable to adequately serve its customers in this area. Further, be-
cause of the geographic location and configuration of the area Metzger
cannot make a circulation loop to provide alternate routes for water
%iv transmission.
Our attorney has advised us that the Tigard Water District has no
legal liability nor responsibility in this area and the district denies
the various claims mentioned. However, as a public-serving body we are
anxious and willing to assist in any way to arrive at an equitable
solution to all parties.
Our letter to you dated January 13, 1972 indicated that the instal-
lation of a 10" FM meter at the intersection of S. W. 72nd Avenue and
Hunziker Street would resolve the matter. However, since that time a
significant change has occurred in our water system which would make
that course of action unacceptable. It would not take advantage of the
increased water availability and improved fire protection to the indus-
trial area. Also, fire flows at all times could not be reasonably
guaranteed by serving a dead-end line.
The district has recently completed a connection to the City of
Lake Oswego for Clackamas River water at a capital cost of about k
million dollars. Clackamas River is fast becoming our primary source of
water with Bull Run as an alternate. Both sources are considered "soft"
water. A 16" ductile iron main was installed along S. W. Bonita Road
and crosses 72nd Avenue. A high capacity circulation loop could easily
be made via a tie-in at this location and with the 12" cast iron main
located on 72nd and Hunziker. Fire flows would be better than ever,
\r would ensure the maximum possibility of uninterruptible water service,
and provide the customers with a better fire insurance rating.

It is believed that the best possible long range solution to the
problem would be for Metzger to discontinue all water service, domestic
and fire protection, to that area south of the Beaverton - Tigard Express-
way along S. W. 72nd Avenue. As an immediate solution Tigard Water Dis-
trict would be willing to assume all responsibility for water service and
world serve the customers on an "out-of-district" basis. A condition of
this proposal would he that the property owners in this area request the
Boundary Review Commission to withdraw from the Metzger Water District and
annex to the Tigard Water District.
Tigard Water District would assume control of all mains and meters in
the area. A connection to the 16" main would be made immediately and the
12" gate valve located at 72nd and Hunziker would be turned on. This
action would restore the fire flows and enhance the reliability of the
system with an alternate source of water. Other capital improvements
would include completion of circulation loops from General Chain Bar Co.
on Bonita Road to 74th and Bonita and installation of 400 feet of 6" cast
iron easterly along S. W. Cherry Street to 72nd Avenue in the Rolling Hills
Sub-division. Three or four additional fire hydrants would be installed
to insure adequate fire protection in the Rolling Hilts area. These addi-
tional costs would be borne by the Tigard Water District.
Out-of-district rates for this district are an additional $1.50 per
r✓ month per meter. However, this increased amount would be offset to the
customer by reduced user charges from 44c to 40c per 100 cubic feet.
Fire sprinkler rates are $5 per month (+$1.50 for out-of-district).
We would require that the parties involved in the November 14, 1966
agreement waive the provisions of:
(1) First paragraph of paragraph 4, page 3, in its entirety.
Tigard Water District would authorize and control all future connections;
however, those provisions in succeeding paragraphs pertaining to the rebate
to the corporations would remain in effect until December 31, 1976.
(2) Paragraph 5, page 4, in which Metzger agreed not to assess
any charge for fire protection standby service.
It is believed that the course of action as outlined above would best
serve the customers, Metzger Water District, and Tigard Water District.
Please advise.
Very truly yours,
TIGARD WATER DISTRICT
