VISITORS , ,; 3. RESOLUTION TO PAY VOUCHERS 4. OTHER BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT PRESENTATION BY GILBERT MEIGS, VICE PRESIDENT, STEVENS, THOMPSON & RUNYAN, ON THE MASTER, WATER?. PLAN FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY %err ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 1. Resolution to approve minutes of last meeting. 2. Visitors. Mr. Lloyd Schulze intends to appear before the Board to question the necessity of installing an additional meter where two houses are served from the same meter. He can see no advan- tage to either the water district or himself in installing another meter. I have presented the obvious reasons for having a meter for each individual house, but I have not convinced him. At the regular meeting on August Pith, the Board passed a resolution to require a meter at each house and revoke all past permits, legal or illegal. Enclosed is a copy of the letter that was sent to owners requiring an additional meter. I investigated each of the 37 reported cases where two or "` three houses were on the same water meter. I could justify only 14 cases where it was obvious that another meter should be in- stalled. The criteria used was: "Could the houses be sold individually, are now or could be on separate tax lots, thereby creating future problems on serving and billing?" The 14 property owners so notified are listed below: 1. John Overby 13320 S. W. Walnut • 2. Raymond J. Kastel 14300 S. W. 103rd * 3. James Willock 9640 S. W. Frewing * 4. Ronald M. McCreight 12035 S.

Enclosed is a letter from Ken Baines regarding the purchase of water from Scoggin Dam. It would appear from his report that if the district decides to assign its rights to the 2,500 acre- feet of water to others, it should be on a permanent and not temporary basis. Once the water is received, either by the district or by others, the obligation immediately, without revocation, commences to pay for the minimum amount of water agreed upon. %se 6. Eastern Washington County Water Purveyors Council. The City Manager of Beaverton has called for a meeting on December 19th to discuss water supply for eastern Washington County. His letter is enclosed. 7. Rating for TWD bonds. Ken Baines has researched and reported by letter (copy enclosed) the possibility of having future bond issues rated by Moody"s Investors Service Inc., thereby gaining the advantage of reduced interest rates. I am still researching the matter further. 8. Water pumped from wells calendar year, 1974.

Oregon 97221 Re: Water meter installation Dear Mr. Rider: Over the years the Board of Commissioners, Tigard Water District, has authorized, on a temporary basis, the connection of two or more houses to one water meter. A recent survey of the water district reveals there are 37 such eases, some of which were connected without permission. The meter for your present residence also serves an adjacent house. By resolution on August. 13, 1971E the Board has decided to revoke all such permits and require a separate service connection for each house in accordance with Section 4, Rules and Regulations of the Tigard Water District. It is not the intenetion of the Board of Commissioners to place a hardship on anyone. Consequently, the Board has agreed to waive some of the requirements, on a one-time basis, as follows: a. Each standard 3/4" meter installation will cost $150 in lieu of the normal $350. b. A time limit of 4 months or until March 11, 1975 will be granted for installation of the additional meter. Application for the new service connection should be made at this office. Allow 10 days to 2 weeks for actual installation of the meter. Please call me if you have any questions.

Moon, Acting Regional Director of the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, regarding the assignment by the District of its rights and obligations under the captioned %we agreement. Also enclosed are copies of all the documents enumer- ated in Mr. Moon's letter. You will note that the Department of Interior authorized the assignment by the City of Beaverton of its rights and obligations under its agreement, subject to the conditions enumerated in the letter addressed to Mr. Laurence R. Sprecher dated May 15, 1973. The City of Beaverton, however, remained responsible for payment of all charges becoming due under the contract. The commissioners should be advised that in the event the Tigard Water District assigns its rights under this contract and the assignee immediately diverts water from the project, the obliga- tions under paragraph 9 (b) shall immediately commence and con- tinue for the next 50 years, even though the rights and obliga- tions under the contract were reassigned to the District at some later date and diversion of water thereafter is terminated.

The purpose of the Committee is to provide a mechanism by which those of us in eastern Washington County who engage in the production, transportation and/or sale of water may have a way of coordinating our interests in such diverse things as (1) dealing with the City of Portland on Bull Run water; (2) seeking an alternate source from places like the Willamette River; (3) considering relationships with western Washington County in general, and the City of Hillsboro in particular, and (4) any other matters where cooperation might be better than individual action in the water field. To that end, I would like to meet with you here in the Council Chambers at City Flail, Beaverton, on Thursday, December 19, 1974, at 7:30 p. m. Vvho you choose to have represent you at that meeting is entirely up to you. it is my intention to have a representative both from my staff and from the City ouncil there. However, each of you is a better judge of who should represent you than l ever could be. We will also invite representatives of Washington County, the City of Hillsboro and the Portland Water Bureau to the meeting. It would be my hope by that time that Portland would be far enough along in their program that they could give us a little more definitive word concerning the future costs of system development in Portland. incerely, 7tt% Laurence .

Santee Administrator Tigard Water District • 8841 S. W. Commercial Tigard, Oregon 97223 Re: Moody's Investors Service, Inc. Dear Bob: The commissioners of the Tigard Water District plan to request from the voters next summer authority to issue general obliga- tion bonds in the sum of $1 million, with the proceeds to be used to construct capital improvements within the District. It is presently anticipated that this bond issue will be offered e for sale in the fall of 1975. I have been advised by Mr. Robert H. Atkinson, Jr. , of Atkinson and Company (who, with the United States National Bank of Oregon, purchased the District's last bond issue) , that it would be ad- vantageous for the District to have this contemplated bond issue rated by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. Such a rating might encourage additional bids but, more importantly, many institu- tions will only purchase bonds on resale that are rated by Moody's; therefore, the potential resale market for rated bonds is much greater. Bob Atkinson advised me that districts with rated bonds generally pay less interest than those with unrated bonds. I would suggest that you confer with other knowledgeable people about this matter. Enclosed is a three-page statement of Moody's policy of charging fees for municipal-bond ratings, together with a 14-page explana- tion of the services rendered by Moody' s. If the District is interested in pursuing this matter, I am ad- vised that your correspondence and request for necessary forms should be addressed to Frieda Ackerman. You should also inquire as to the length of time it will take for the District to have • f i' WHEELOCK,NIEHAUS,BAINES & MURPHY Mr. Robert E. Santee Page 2 December 2, 1974 this contemplated issue rated, because it will be of no benefit if the rating cannot be issued prior to marketing of the bonds. IVe truly yours,[ e.) • nneth W.
