He gave the Board an update on the Hi Tor Reservoir. He then informed the Board that at Audrey
Castile's suggestion of last fall, a consulting firm has been chosen to do a wage and salary
survey. Cascade Employers, Inc., will give a presentation to the Board at the Septmeber 11,
1990 regular Board meeting. The third item is that the option to buy the 1.92 acres on 150th,
will be exercised at the end of July, 1990.
Jon Kvistad also had three pieces of Other Business. He said he would like to change the
regular agenda to add an Administrator's Report which would take place before Other Business.
Consensus of the Board was that they would like to try it. Secondly, at the last Board meeting, it
was suggested that a Tigard Water District sign be placed in the front of the building. Mr.
Miller explained that enough bricks have been saved to produce such a sign and that a conditional
use permit is necessary.
It was moved and seconded that the Administrator look into placing a sign on the Hall
Blvd. side of the building. Vote was taken and passed unanimously.

Miller, and that this would require an Executive Session following the regular meeting. .
