Exhibit A
City Engineer's Report
Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No.20
Background
This project will be constructed and funded under the City of Tigard
Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program(NSEP). Under the program the City of
Tigard would install public sewers to each lot within a project area. At the time
the property owner connects to the sewer,the owner would pay a connection fee
of $2,335.00 and reimburse the City for a fair share of the cost of the public
sewer. There is no requirement to connect to the sewer or pay any fee until
connection is made. In addition, property owners are responsible for
disconnecting their existing septic system according to Washington County rules
and for any other modifications necessary to connect to the public sewer.
To be considered for the program,a neighborhood needs to submit evidence of
owner support of the project. Generally, at least one half of the owners within
the proposed district must express support for the project. This was
accomplished by an owner, Mr.John Hazard,who collected signatures from nine
of the fifteen owners in the proposed district. The signatures and Mr. Hazard's
letter requesting sewer service are attached.
Proiect Area-Zone of Benefit
An existing sanitary sewer line is located in SW 118'' Avenue east of the
proposed district as shown on Exhibit Map B. A line would be extended across
SW 118'Avenue,then across a residential lot not in the proposed district, 13855
SW 118'" Court and finally across a residential lot within the proposed district,
12025 SW Rose Vista Drive, before reaching SW Rose Vista Drive. The line
would serve fifteen properties along SW Rose Vista Drive. The lot at 12035 SW
Rose Vista Drive is not included in the proposed district since this lot is currently
served from a public line at the southeast corner of the lot.

' Cost
The purchase price of the two easements is included in the project'cost and will
i be recoverable through the collection of the reimbursement fees. The easement
across 13855 SW 118' Court (not within the proposed district) has been
purchased for$2,410. The cost of purchasing the easement across the lot at
12025 SW rase Vista Drive is described in the attached agreement between the
owner and the City. The agreement provides for the payment of$8,280 plus
waiver of the connection fee of $2.,335 for a total purchase price of $10,615,
This results in a total cost for the two easements of$13,025. Construction of the
line through this easement will require removal of the septic system, which will
necessitate immediate connection to the sewer. The owner has agreed to place
a deposit with the City towards the fee required for service. Once the sewer is
available,the owner may immediately connect to the sewer using the deposit as
payment for the reimbursement fee. 1 he City will concurrently pay the
connection fee as required by the owners agreement with the City and recover
the cost by funding through the Reimbursement District.
The estimated cost for the sanitary sewer construction is$160,760. Engineering
and inspection fees amount to$21,700 (13.5%)as defined in TMC 13.09.040(1).
The total project cost including these fees and $13,030 for easements is
$195,490. This entire amount should be reimbursed to the sanitary sewer fund
as properties connect to the sewer and pay their fair share of the total amount.
In addition to sharing the cost of the public sewer line, each property owner,
except for the owner providing the easement, will be required to pay an
additional $2,335 connection and inspection fee when connection to the public
line is made. All owners will be responsible for all plumbing costs required for
work done on private property.
Reimbursement Rate
All properties in this area are zoned R-4.5 and have similar lot sizes as can be
seen in Exhibit Map B.Therefore, it is recommended that the total cost of the
project be divided equally among the fifteen properties included in the
reimbursement district. Resolution 98-51 limits this fee to$8,000 to the extent
that is does not exceed$15,000 per owner for connections completed within one
year of final approval of the City Engineer's Report.
Other reimbursement methods include basing the proportional share upon the
square footage of each property or by the length of frontage of each property.
These methods are not recommended because there is no correlation between
these methods and the cost of providing service to each lot or the benefit to each
i lot.
' Each property owner's estimated fair share of the public sewer line is
$13,030. Each owner's fair share would be limited to$8,000 to the extent
that it does not exceed$15,000,for connections completed within one year
of My Council approval of the final City Engineer's Report following
construction in accordance with Resolution 98-51(attached). In addition to
paying for the first $8,000, owners will remain responsible for paying all
actual costs that exceed$15,000.

Annual Fee Adjustment
TMC 13.09.115 states that an annual percentage rate shall be applied to each
property owner's fair share of the sewer line costs on the anniversary date of the
reimbursement agreement. The Finance Director has set the annual interest
rate at 6.05%as stated in City of Tigard Resolution No.98-22.
Recommendation
It is recommended that a reimbursement district be formed with an annual fee
increase as indicated above and that the reimbursement district continue for
fifteen years as provided in the Tigard Municipal Code (TMC) 13.09.110(5).
Fifteen years after the formation of the reimbursement district, properties
connecting to the sewer would no longer be required to pay the reimbursement
fee.
