Discuss Changes to the WAB Minutes Brian Rager discussed the new format for the WAB minutes per Councilor Robbins’ suggestion. The WAB had no objections to the new format. 5. Annual Meeting – Discuss any WAB Policy Recommendations to the Tigard City Council Brian Rager discussed how advisory boards communicate with Council which is operational in nature. Commissioner Brewin stated conservation and carbon emissions are important topics to discuss with the Council. Counciler Robbins agreed. Chair Henschel stated the watershed efforts/conservation efforts are other important topics that could be discussed with the Council. Commissioner Streicher asked about conservation, and whether the system itself has been looked at. Mr. Rager asked Rob Murchison to address the Board to answer that question. Mr. Murchison stated the city has replacement programs, and that some of the technology is satellite based. There are some data analytics that will let the city know where a leak is. Commissioner Brewin brought up the backflow prevention that was previously discussed in a prior WAB meeting; the Board discussed this topic further. Councilor Robbins stated that, typically, the joint meetings between the council and boards and committees are not very long. The board in question will typically state what it has been doing regarding the topics it has to present. The mayor might then ask what help the board would want from the Council. The Council may ask for follow-up on any given item. The board can then make recommendations to the Council. Councilor Robbins also noted the Board could acknowledge the Council’s goal regarding more housing and point out that there is a limited amount of water, and advocate for continued research into other sources of water, including possibly looking into the Willamette River investments that could be applied. 10/9/2025
