Resolution to approve minutes of last meeting,. 2. Visitors. 3. Resolution to pay vouchers. 4. Resolution to donate a 3/4-inch meter for the improvement of the traffic island located at the south entrance to the City of Tigard, Mary Woodward and Mrs. Bishop, wife of the mayor, have taken on a project to beautify the island located at the south end of the entrance to the City of Tigard. This is State-owned property, but they have been negligent in maintaining the area. Lawn and shrubs are to be planted in the island along with a water sprinkling system. The State Highway Department has agreed to pay the monthly water bill. 5. Resolution to increase meter installation charges by 107. of the system development charge imposed by the City of Portland. effective October 1, 1975. and to approve an addendum to this effect to be attached to the district's existing contract with the City of Portland. The Portland Bureau of Water Works has proposed an addendum to our existing contract to include the system development charge. Ken Baines and I have reviewed the document and have suggested some additions and modifications. The addendum has been returned to the City of Portland for resubmission to you at the meeting. The addendum provides for imposition of a percentage of the system development charge for new connections to our system. The exact percentage will not be known until one year hence. Therefore, an arbitrary figure (which is considered a maximum) of 10% of the system development charge has been collected for each meter installed since October 1, 1975. -1- 4 NNW ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued) These charges are as follows: Size of Service Charge 3/4" $ 22.50 1" 40.00 1)g" 70.00 2" 120.00 3" 140.00 4" 200.00 6" 300.00 8" 450.00 Per Unit charge schedule (whichever is greater): Duplex $20 per unit 3 or more units 15 per unit To avoid future charges or rebates to developers, which cannot be determined at this time and should be minimal, at the end of the year it is recommended that the TWD officially approve these increases in meter charges. At the last meeting you requested information on meter installation charges of adjacent and surrounding water districts and cities. Following is that information, including the system development charge, if applicable: 3/4" 1" West Slope $ 360 $ 600 Tigard 372.50 465 Lake Oswego 380 540 Lake Grove 400 550 Capitol Highway 425 660 Tualatin 460 585 Wolf Creek 525 800 Palatine Hill 550 700 Beaverton 700 925 Metzger 750 950 Obviously, there seems to be no rhyme or reason in establishing charges for meter installations. -2- ADMINISTRATORS REPORT (Continued) 6. Resolution to authorize ST&R engineers to conduct a water sampling, and testing program of the Willamette River at Wilsonville. SUR has recommended that a water sampling and testing program be conducted of the Willamette River during the next 8 months. (See enclosed letter). The initial estimated cost for this service was $5,000. However, it was suggested that TWD personnel take the weekly water samples and deliver same to ST&R. This procedure reduced the estimated cost to $3,000 to $3,500. Funds for this project can be budgeted during the next fiscal year. 7. Other business. 8. 10 MG Reservoir Mr. M. J.

Santee Administrator Tigard Water District 8841 S .W. Commercial Tigard, Oregon 97223 Dear Bob: Confirming our discussion on September 12 , we are writing to further explain the raw water sampling and testing pro- gram that we recommend with respect to the use of the Willamette River as a source of potable water. We recommend lip this program on the basis that the data to be developed will be useful basic information in connection with the design of a water treatment plant to serve the Tigard Water District. The program will extend from 6-8 months and the estimate of cost is based on an 8-month duration. The tests to be made on a weekly basis would be for pH, temperature, alkalinity, turbidity, and carbon dioxide . The test to be made once a month would be for ammonia nitrogen, nitrate, iron, manganese, magnesium, sulfate, chlorine or chloride, and a bacteria plate count for the most probable number. As we discussed after a <sampling point has been selected, we would train one of your staff to take the samples and he would deliver them to us for analysis . The person who gathers the samples will be trained to perform field titration for carbon dioxide sampling and also be furnished with a thermometer to read the river water temperature . On the basis of the foregoing we estimate that the cost to the district would be approximately $3, 000-$3,500. We would bill the district on the basis of our payroll costs times a factor of 2 . 7 to cover direct and indirect costs , overhead and profit and additionally, our transportation would be � calculated at 18 cents per mile . There will be no additional cost for the use of our field and laboratory equipment or for chemicals . SteN 'Thompson K, Runyan,t..c. Engineers'Planners V PTT-340 . 114 September 12 , 1975 Page 2 During the week of September 15 , we will call and make an appointment to visit with you and go to Wilsonville to look for an appropriate sampling location and also to discuss the procedure to be followed in taking the samples . We look forward with pleasure to providing further engineering services to the District, and if you have any questions in regard to the sampling and testing program, please feel free to contact us . Yours very truly, STEVENS , THOMPSON & RUNYAN, INC . , L 7.74-7f j Gilbert R. eigsL,///P.F,. Senior Vice Preadent GRM: ljp ti THE NEW WILLAMETTE • "The New Willamette," the Corps of Engineers' film on the environmental enhance- ment of the Willamette River, has been selected as one of the outstanding non- theatrical films of the year in the United States. CINE, the Council on International Nontheatrical Events, named the film a winner of its Golden Eagle award. As a Golden Eagle winner, the film will become a candidate to represent the United States at international film festivals. "The New Willamette" was produced by Portland filmmaker Homer Groening for the Portland District of the Corps of Engineers. _ The film features former Governor Tom McCall . CINE--a voluntary organization of film and television producers, distributors, manufacturers, users and associations--pre-selects films to be shown at over 100 foreign film festivals. The United States Information Agency has already entered "The New Willamette" in film festivals in Rome and Czechoslovakia, and has indicated interest in showing the film at some of its facilities world-wide. The film shows how the once-polluted Willamette River is now used and enjoyed by people, thanks to the cooperative cleanup efforts of citizens, industry and government. It suggests that people in other areas follow the Willamette's example and undertake the cleanup of their rivers. The 26-minute, 16 mm color film is available for showings to school classes and civic groups through the Corps' North Pacific Division office in Portland.
