Mr. Wilton Phillips, Mayor
City of Tigard
Tigard, Oregon
Dear Mayor Phillips:
I would like to again call your attention to the
overcharge assessed against the property at
11485 S. W. Greenburg Road for sewer hook-up at
the time of construction in February, 1960.
In order to _refresh the memory of some members
of the City Coulicil, and inform the others, the
following facts are cited.
As the time of commencing this project, I inquired`
of Mr. Charles Janoe, :District Superintendant
and Mr. Hamilton, the Chairman of the Tigard `San-
itary District, the amount of monies that would be
necessary to be deposited as connection fee's to
serve the twenty-one `unit development. I was in-
formed that hook-up fees would be two hundred
uviars ( 2u0.00) per unit and that I should deposit
the total sum of forty-two 'hundred dollars ($4,200.00).
This I did on Alarch 3, 1960. I 'then" inquired `as `to
the status of the present sewer hook-up which was
into the property and served the residence then
located there. I was informed that g would be en-
titled to a refund of one connection fee, but for
the present it would be necessary to deposit the full
forty-two hundred dollars and the refund would be
made later.
As you will recall, it- was only °recently that your
body acted upon a resolution to withdraw the above
mentioned property from the Metzger Sanitary District
into which it was taken when that District was formed.
It should also be borne in mind, that the property
in question was served by, the Tigard Sanitary District
Wath sewer beforeilthe AietzgerDistrict was
oreat ada alt 110-ugh it was not in the Tigard
sanitary:District.
Since the above date, I have refreshed the memory
of members of the Sanitary board, as well as
Mr. Janoe, of the agreement and requested that
action be taken. I likewise was
numerous board meetings and brought up thea
matter and was al Ways placated with the 'state-
.ment that it would-be brought up and acted upon.
To date, nothing has been done and I am, therefore,
requesting that formal action be inaugerated and a
refund of two hundred dollars ($200.00) be made.
Very truly yours,
GEL:RF -2
