ScI u a still sta..ds on l figures and he said :.e will have to condemn the pio;erty to get it. Iii 1,cU; Mr. Meigs and Ittrie:d to see if we Couldn't get 'lit, mice I_a1f my and vnke it 750 a foot. We wrote him we would pay 50s a foot. t•r. Sha t:s :o o::- plaint coming that I can see and Mr. Board is out of th- question, lie wants us to give him $650.00. He has no fixtures in tile basement and proc;abl,r never Would put any in. .. Does the Council wart us to go ahead and co:idenv the praaer y and turn it over to our Attorney to proceed. The amount of money they hart is what we figured on paying for the whole job. If the others signed for 500 I don't see tiny the rest wouldn't be"able to sigh fvr it. Mr. Meigs: I talked to Mr. Hoard on the 'phone saying the City's Offer IMS 50¢ a foot., told him that was all we could offer at the pros rt t 1,e. He called me at the office and said that wasn't a satisfactory settlement to htm, he still felt he would wont his b cement hooked up in the new line. Shaw, Schulte, Lee and Board, we are just where we were before. We c*11ecked Mr. Sk2,w and Mr. Schulte; Mr. Sham could colmoct but Mr. Schulte T_ don't think can, the sever is too high for his basement. Mayor Woodard, Councilman laock and Councilman Johnson d scussed with Attorney Anderson the relative cost of condemnation proceedings as against the ..ml specified by the four property owners. Attorney Anderson: You nr.rst be on record form:l.iy bj r;tY,iug an offer; there is no;question but what it tales more than just buyi.ig It- you can pay quite a premium and 'there is no economy by going to Court. ' The question is where do you start and stop. h7syor Woodard. I thin]: we should allOw our Attorney to take that first sten :in writing that letter with aur Offer, at leas.. it "'ill give"u, something to ga on. In the future it is going to bother us, n.,.) doubt about it. Councilman Klock: I world make a motion to have the Attorney .:rite the letter of formal notification of the final sower easement offer. Motion seconded by Councilman Bergmann and u-oon call for vote was Unanimously approved.by Council all members being present. btayor Woodard gave a short report regarding the development of Ash Street from McDonald down to Garrett stating the County is going to order that in this summer; from Garrett to the creek is:in but we figure on devoloping'Ash Street from the plant to Frewiig; half of this street between Frewing and the flood Water would be put in by Willock so we figure if we 'can't get it any other way -,Te would do that half and come down to the:creek and the street between Frewing and Garrett could -wait. From Garrett to McDonald and Frering to the creel, is the worst and:if we showed signs of doing it we would get this money. ,dillock is going to do his side down Cto his boundary.: That fill can be just airt, just so it'sets fora year. 3-23-64 - Page 1. Councilman Johnson: This in regard to the notification in our Minutes =:bout the "No Parking" area thst rather Harrington wrote to the State about, this .is the answer that im have gotta:I. (11,e,-ding letter) Mayor Woodard: Does Council want to take actio:, on that or do you want to study it. (Discussion followed) Councilman Johnson: The easiest wag :is to have a motion. _T. move' accept r the recommendation of the State Highway D aaroment in relation to the akin; urea running 100 feet, nor tht.<Ist from McKenzie and 75 fret soutinxst from McKenzie. Motion seconded by CouticilmaT. Cooper. The qucstion being called for the roll call of vote resulted as follows; Councilman Coopr, -AY; Councilman Bergmann, NAY; Councilman Johnson, AYE: ',otir:cilmar. Klock, NAY; Mayor Wood-ird, NAY. The motion was lost ;,y a;;y0r;ty ;,ote. Mayor Woodard: Does anyone in ..he :audience have .n;=thir:'- to bring un before Couneil7 Mr. H. Mayes, 12450 S. 1,14, Knoll Drive- - have a letter here, I thing you .tae rough sketch of it :in regard to the Irvington Machin Works. (Rending the letter which dealt with the complaint of the citizens of ;Knoll Drive':::+ith ' regard to the additiorrl constnccLion. by the i .-Infitan 1'acn re ':forks. the noise from the Plant at night and 'the arc welding flashes of light. all of which are a source of disturbance to the people in tha- area. Councilman ilocl:: We will cconerate with ,you ...tui ro c•;er it with thein. I will break down all the facets and sce what we can do. i will put .t together as quickly as I can. Mayor Woodard: I am sure we will loot: into the matter and notify you people. Mr. E. C. Phillips: This is in reference to our rrouosed annexation which most of you know about already. This letter is the one we 'Ire planning to mail out the first of April. (Reading rough draft of letter) This is essentially the letter that:gill.be mr.iled to thepropertyowners. I Mould like the recommendation of the Planning Co.:imission discussed with respect to some of the items. Mr. Phillips then discussed the tax mileage which in the City of Tigard would be approximately 10 mills higher with the thought that an 3rran eraent could be made so as not to make a lump;sum payment the first year and that he had consulted with City. Attorney Anderson who did some checking and found these taxes could be,adjusted over a ten year period ocyinG 10;5 of this the first year increasing 10% each year so that at the end of the ten year period the property owner would be paying the whole share to the City of Tigard. These people would realize the City of Tigard was trying to do something for them. With sewer costs at four dollars a foot I don't see how you can>beat that. Lighting; it has been our understanding that the City does nroi:ose some expansion in the City of Tigard, it is suggested some of these lights could be put into this .area rather than in the City of Tigard proper, sho.i..ng txvthey are going to get something if they are annexed. Police; that is a self-explanatory factor. 1t our meeting April. Bth it is hoped ve get the full support of our City Council on these features. Mr. Godfrey: I was just going to sit in and listen to the proposal of thel change over at the Methodist Church. Attorney Anderson: All the Council should do is to pass the Resolution to set a hearing so we,can publish and post the notices. l was going to bring that up and have you consider a Resolution and schedule the hearing at your meeting on the 27th of April. It has to run five weeks in the paper. We have a petition to vacate a portion of;the street. I think we should have the Resolution read. The City Recorder then read the Resolution as follows: "RESOLUTION.

Mayor Woodard: Regarding repairs on 95th % Lincoln Ave. I have had Nr. t?eigs call for bids on that; we will probably have that ready for our next meeting. Councilman Cooper then read P. bid from Ace Iron Works on the flag pole and suggested we hold it up until we get other bids. Mayor Woodard: We have a Police Ordinance that we will study and bring up at the next meeting. On streat lighting I mentioned before theselocations were suggested by the'Engineer from the Portland General Electric.(Reading';the points of installation); Councilman Johnson: Ig,view of the motion made by Council. going along with the thoughts of the Planning and 'Zoning Commission in which 11r. Phillips asked for these two lights in the annexed area how soon would we be in position to install lights in this area. Mayor Woodard: We could do it right away, we could go as far,as putting in five in the first year. These eight lights would amount of $321.60'a year.

Mhyor Woodard: I would like each member of the Council to fiL-ure ou: what monies- they will need for their part of the �.o_s far 'th-is coming year so we c.:n m---Oke up worksheet and when we get the work sleet made 1-p give to e,.ch memk,er to study and see 3f it is the way they 1rant it or need to change it. Mayor Woodard: Ben Fd:*ards wants to coine back to work on Anril 1st I would like to know how the Council feels about l.etttng him come back; ars you know he has a heart condition in addition to which he is about 75 years of age. Councilman Cooper: I :,uCgest ire get - report from the doctor before we let him come back. Mayor Woodard: On the policies we have on regulations; we have all.,agreed on all except those of City Council. The only one we have left to approve is the last"one on employees requirements.

Councilman Cooper: I would like to direct a question to Councilman Bergmann; to your knowledge'did any of those fellows taking the police examination have any previous knowledge of any of the questions that were asked. Councilman Bergmann:d I told Don they can know the questions as we are not interested in the questions-we are 'i:.terested in the answers. Councilman Cooper: I heard that was done and I thought this was to see how they would react without knowing the 'questions. Councilman Bergmann: Asking questions in the oral examination was not to test their knowledge so I could see nothing wrong in knowing what the questions were. The written examination was the governing feature, we were interviewing whether they were qualified as police officers. Councilman Cooper: I was quite surprised when I heard it, `I thought it was supposed to be off the cuff. Councilman Klock: What about this Library money. Councilman Cooper: We have in excess of $1500.0-0 that we received from the candy sale and will probably have a'small amount in addition coming in. (There was some,further discussion about the%amount"of candy that had been distributed for sale as well as the normal loss which was established by Chocolates, Inc: and their claim about not rettinw the cooperation they were supposed to have from the schools and that any such undertaking in the future would:be more carefully supervised_) Councilman Bergmann: I have a letter from the Acting Chief regarding the exams that were given.
