CITY COUNCIL
MINUTES OF MEETING JULY 16, 1962
Those present: Mayor Phillips, Councilmen Aitken, Hanneman and
Woodard, ?nd Attorney Anderson.
` Mr Paul Taggart of Beaverton, was present to request consideration
of annexing the area bounded by Greenburg Road, ,98th Street and
North Dakota Avenue from Metzger in order to get sewer service.
Mayor Phillips suggested,Mr Taggard discuss this with other pro-
perty owners in the area to determine whether or not they are
willing to annex to Tigard. Attorney Anderson expressed that
legally sewer service may be extended without annexation, or ;Tigard
can annex the area without consent.of Metzger, however., Mr Tagg
should discusa this with the.Metzger Sanitary District,'
Mr`C H Embree, 9020 S W Burnham, reported that Ash Street had been :'
repaired by Mr Owen Snyder, apparently without authorization from
either the City or the property owners, Embree, Vandervluat or Hcrd.
Mr Embree reported the work was most satisfactory and that, in his
opinion, the cost of $75.00 should be borne 31 by the City and � by
the 3 property owners. Mr Embree stated the traffic to the sewer
plant is much in- excess of that by the 3 residents on the street.
Councilman Hanneman felt that,the only way it could be handled was
a 4-way split, and only if it was clearly understood this would not
be the practice in the future. Councilman Hanneman was requested
to discussthematter with Mr Snyder to clarify that there must be
authorization from the City Council foranyroad work within the
City limits.
Mr Vance Lee presented a proposal for a 2-year lease of 1100 square
feet of office space at 9005 S W Commercial Street for City office,
the City to provide it's own utilities except water. Councilman
Woodard suggested this be considered after;the council members had
an opportunity to;look at the;space. ,
Councilman Woodard reported that Mr Jance owns 50' of land on the
other side of the Water District office on which he is'willing to
erect a building 201 x 40', provide heat and electricity, and in-
stall plumbing, said building to be ready for occupancywithin 2
months, "on `a 5-year lease at a rent of $80.00 per' mothth; The"struc-
ture to be 'so built that it could be.added onto in the future.
Attorney Anderson reported that Mr Meyers of the ,United.States
National Bank has other interested prospects for the vacant bank
building on Main Street, and it was agreed .the lease-option on that
building would be returned.
Councilman Woodard has not yet.heard from Engineer Carter after
study of the Charlton Laboratories and other test reports made at
the sewer plant. ;Right .now with low'water, the sludge from the
Nailey Plant has been unusually heavy, has had to be skimmed off
and buried, and has necessitated the use of a considerable amount
of deodorant. Tests have indicated the plant is carrying a load
comparable to a population of about 6200.
Councilman Woodard reported the matter of capping the sewer connec-
tion at the Warner property had been satisfactorily resolved.

touch with the Neptune Meter representative to arrange for a check
of the water meter at the Nalley Plant.

July 23 through July 27 1962, but that he may becalledin event

There was discussion of the need to get the necessary fill dirt to
take care of the problem at the Wallace Johnson property. It was
agreed Councilman Hanneman would approach West Coast Telephone Com-
pany regarding the availability of fill dirt from their installa-
tion of underground cable in the City, also regarding a permit for
performance of that operation. Councilman Hanneman was also re-
quested to approach the State Highway Department regarding fill
dirt from their project on Highway 217. Considerable fill will
be required to correctthedifficulty at the Johnson property.
Councilman Woodard reported results of the certified letters sent
delinquent sewer users, and MOVED that the accounts of Phillip
Miller, John Scheckla, Lowell Jensen, W E Chamness, Russell K
Morgan and Neva Root be certified to the County Assessor for asses-
sment againt their lands, collection as other taxes and paid over

Councilman Hanneman reported a letter ready to go to Washington
County Court indicating the City's willingness to accept Tigard
Street, 87th Avenue, 95th Avenue (North of Greenburg) and Pfaffle
Street, ,upon their indication of agreement, the City Ordinance ac-
cepting same to follow. This letter also confirms tentative
agreement for cooperation with the County to improve county streets
within the city limits, based on the City's priority, and the
$9500.00 available each year for the next 3 fiscal years for that
purpose. There are several streets, namely Brookside Avenue,
Brookside Place and Lewis Lane within the city which are not county
roads, and should be 'accepted by the City within one year from the
date the streets were built.
Councilman Hanneman reported the prospect of the Eastham property
for a park is still hopeful, unless the public',s attitude regarding
the tax ;levy should work as'a detriment.'
Councilman Aitken reported letter had not been received from
Beaverton Rural Fire District, but that he will again make an
effort to get this moving.

fuse the tax levy to be voted for the third time August 3,
(copy attached) . Letter is to be prepared and sent each register-
ed voter in an effort to make clear that there may no need to
increase the,tax levy. Contact has been made with various organ-
izations offering that a councilman will be glad to appear to pre-

The Honorable Elton Phillips
Mayor of the City of i Lard
:igird, Oregon
Daar
mayor:
After truch discussion by our Board. of Director:-, it hr, been unci^.i-
mou ly agreed that we could not reasonably consider an annexation of
the City of Tigard into the,Beavertor Rural Fire Protection District
_s was previously d_ac, ed_ Th_.._ rp. l u=ani hnr-, pnn en,+.d by ti,u
fact that the fire protection neces.;ory for a city suclh as }ours is
much more requiring t}'an the protection ae, 35 afforded the rural area.
As you no doubt are aware, we operate, our -rural area on les,; than two
mills and this millage applied to your gas,—;es eci va"hiation would..not
provide sufficient funds to establish a station within the city. Al;o
it should be recogni ed that any eoui..ne.nt ,;u chasel by the _ural firs
district would nocesFitate`long term financ'_n of a long term invest-
ment, as compared to the restrictions placed upon us for short term'
contra.ctin_ to a maximum of three years. This, in itself, makes any
consideration economically unsoanci.
It is our recommendation that the City of Tigard remain a part of the
x'ualatin Rural Fire Protection District until ynu =ire financially pre-
pared to establish your own fire department. This recommendation is
made on the basis that additional protection as is req_uired by a city
can be provided for by contract with the present fire protection di.�-
trict, plus the fact that the Tualatin Rural FireProtection District
does have a mutual aid agreement with the Beaverton`Rural Fire Protec-
tion District which is able, willing and ready to respond upois request
of a`call by them.
Should the City of Tigard find their way clear to organize their own
fire department, then the Beaverton Rural Fire Protection'District'
would be interested in arranging an agreement to provide the support
of one fire truck from our Beaverton sub-station on a per fire call
basis.
rM
We trust the foregoing decision and recommendation by Beaverton Rural
Fire Protection District are accepted wholeheartedly as being in the
best interests for the residents of the City of Tigard at this t nc.
If we can be of any further assistance, be assured that our nrz_n,z_.ioa
to couperxte as i.,z feasible.
MNO
Very truly yours,
B':.r'.V�ONURAL REFP,O GiQ DISTRICT
