The Willamette River at Wilsonville as a source of water was dis-
cussed. Commissioner Wheelwright suggested that the district obtain
'fter information and data on how funds from the bond issue will be spent,
a proposed time table, and a projection as to when water consumption
will start to pay off. Chairman Thomas advised that at the next
meeting the Board should be prepared to start making computations
on available and estimated revenue to amortize the anticipated bonded
indebtedness.
The water rights at Scoggin Dam were discussed. It was suggested
that the district's rights be sold. Possible buyers might be Wolf Creek
Highway Water District or the King City and Summerfield Golf Clubs.
However, the right of the district to regain the rights was paramount.
Commissioner Wheelwright recommended that:
(1) The district retain its present position.
(2) Investigate any alternatives as to whom might use the water.
(3) Retain right to reclaim the rights.
The Administrator was advised to determine the annual cost of water
supplied from Scoggin Dam if the district decided to use it.
In view of the petition signed by 48 residents from the Rolling
Hills Subdivision (Metzger Water District) requesting a return to Bull
Run water, the Board agreed to:
,�„� (1) Express to Metzger Water District a willingness to accomodate
the patrons if it is feasible.
(2) Accept from Metzger Water District any costs incurred as a
direct result of capital improvements made in the Rolling Hills area.
Motion was made to adjourn at 9:15 P.M. Motion carried unanimously.
