Verne Wheelwright suggested that the Administrator prepare,
by the next meeting, alternatives and a recommended method and
schedule of payments to liquidate any proposed G.O. bond issue for
the development of the Willamette River at Wilsonville.
Motion was made by Verne Wheelwright and seconded by Gene

the existing water purchase contract with the City of Portland
regarding the system development charge. Motion carred unanimously.
Motion was made by Hugh Brown and seconded by Verne Wheelwright
to approve the Administrator's recommendations on increased meter and
fire sprinkler connection charges, effective January 1, 1976, to in-
clude the system development charge per size of meter imposed by the
City of Portland, as follows:
Meter Size
5/8" x 3/4" 1" Above 1"
Copper Service $ 65 $ 95
Meter 85 155
Connection Fee 300 300
Total: $ $ 512 (Cost + $400) + 25%
Further, that if Portland's system development charge per unit,
applicable to the Tigard Water District, should be greater than the
system development charge based upon the size of meter that the
difference will be added to the cost of such meter. Motion carried
unanimously.
Administrator was requested to submit at the next meeting a proposed
schedule of single dwelling equivalencies to be used in determining
charges for multiple dwellings or meter installations larger than 3/4-inch,
using as a guideline the equivalencies established by U.S.A. and Wolf
Creek Highway Water District.
The Board expressed the desire of a favorable response to the
Metzger Water District's letter of October 27, 1975 regarding improved
