ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Cooperative PREVIOUS ACTION: None
Assistance Agreement
4ZZLII PREPARED BY: Ron Goodpaster
nRPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of agreement.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Over the past year, the Police Department has attended planning meetings with
the other agencies in Washington County to draft this county-wide
emergency/disaster response plan. We have provided input into the process
and have reviewed the final agreement. We have also had the City Attorney
review the agreement for approval.
The agreement establishes command systems and structures and addresses mutual
aid, coordination of resource requeets, planning, personnel, and equipment
issues when an emergency/disaster has been declared.
Emergency Coordinator for Washington County is seeking Council's approval of
this agreement. Once approval has been given, he will bring around the
original agreement for signature.
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
None.
FISCAL NOTES
Agreement would mutually benefit all agencies. We are not equipped to handle
an emergency/disaster and the outside resources would be critical to us.
Fiscal impact would depend on incident.
i
Approval of an agreement regarding the City of Tigard's participation in a
county-wide emergency response plan for the response to and management of
emergency conditions and disasters.

and, as needed, supersedes other local emergency automatic or
mutual aid agreements.
3. MUTUAL AID
If confronted with an emergency situation (as defined in ORS
401) requiring equipment or personnel not available to the
requesting party (requestor), the requestor may request
assistance from any or all of the other parties.
Upon receipt of such request, the party receiving the request

2
Cooperative Assistance Agreement
August 26, 1993
C. Dispatch available equipment and personnel to the
designated location.
D. In the event the needed equipment or personnel is not
available, immediately advise the requestor of such fact.
4. COORDINATION OF RESOURCE REQUESTS
The parties agree, in order to better manage resources, that
Washington County shall be divided into three resource
allocation zones to be managed by Zone Commands as follows:
WEST ZONE: Those portions of Washington County receiving
fire protection from Tri-City RFPD, Forest Grove RFPD, the
City of Forest Grove, Gastcn RFPD, the City of Cornelius,
Cornelius RFPD, and the adjacent unincorporated areas of
Washington. County which lie west of the eastern boundaries of
Tri-City RFPD and Forest Grove RFPD.

County RFPD #2, including that portion of Washington County
which lies north of the north boundary of Washington County
RFPD#2 and east of the east boundary of Tri-City RFPD.
SOUTHEAST ZONE: Those portions of Washington County
receiving fire protection from Tualatin Valley Fire and
Rescue and the Beaverton Fire Department.
When an emergency or emergencies which may require resources
not immediately available within the jurisdiction exist, the
Incident Commander(s) may request activation of the Zone
Command. These Zone Commands, consisting of fire, law
enforcement and public works representatives, will receive
resource requests from incident commanders and attempt to
obtain these resources, either from unaffected jurisdictions
within the Zone or from the County. If requests for
resources exceed available resources, Zone Command will
allocate available resources based upon life-safety needs.
If two or more Zone Commands are activated, the County will
activate an Area Command, consisting of the fire, law
enforcement, and public works coordinators within the
County's Operations Group, which will coordinate resource
requests from Zones, as well as to and from outside the
County.
Cooperative Assistance Agreement

his/her best judgment and discretion, to commit personnel or
equipment to a position in which danger of loss of life or
equipment exists. The commanding officer of the party
furnishing aid on duty at the scene of the incident shall be
the sole judge of the extent and imminence of such danger.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
The participating jurisdictions recognize and agree that this
Agreement is a cooperative effort to provide a program for
timely and appropriate response to major emergencies and/or
disasters. It is further agreed that any dispute among the
parties should be resolved in a cooperative fashion-and at
the lowest level possible. In the event of any dispute, that

Fire Chief) may pursue the complaint by presenting it in
writing to his or her counterpart with the party to whom
the complaint is made. The senior administrative
officials shall meet and attempt to resolve the dispute.
C. If the grieving party does not receive a response within
10 days of submission of the complaint or if the
complaint remains unresolved after any meeting between
the senior administrative officials, the grieving party

meet with his or her counterpart with the party to whom
the complaint is made.
If a participating jurisdiction does not have an
emergency command officer, any dispute shall be initiated
at step 2. above. Any dispute that remains unresolved
after utilizing the above process may be pursued by
litigation. However, no party to this Agreement shall
initiate any litigation arising from this Agreement or
any performance by a party as a result of this Agreement,
without first processing the dispute as described above.
Any litigation that may be initiated shall be filed in
the Washington County Circuit Court.
Cooperative Assistance Agreement

acquiring insurance, any party may provide self-insurance as
provided by law.
13. PRE-INCIDENT PLANNING
The parties shall develop pre-incident plans for the type and
locations of problem areas where emergency assistance may be
needed, the types of equipment and personnel to be
dispatched, and the training to be conducted to ensure
efficient operations. Such plans shall take into
consideration the proper protection by the responder of its
own geographical area. The Zone MACS and the Area MAC will
develop policy and procedures for implementing the resource
management system enabled by this agreement.
14. REVIEW
Y This agreement shall be reviewed at least every five years by
the Area MAC.
15. TERMINATION

date. This notice shall automatically terminate the
agreement with the jurisdiction requesting the termination on
the date set out unless rescinded prior thereto in writing.
Such termination shall not affect the agreement among the
remaining signatories.
16. NON-EXCLUSIVE
This agreement is not intended to be exclusive among the
parties. Any of the parties may enter into separate mutual

This Agreement is made and entered into by the City of Tigard,
an Oregon municipal corporation, (hereinafter "Tigard") and the
Tigard Water District, a domestic water supply district existing
under ORS Ch. 264, (hereinafter "District"). Tigard and District
are jointly referred to herein as "the Parties." Unless
identified as "original," District refers to the remnant district.
RECITALS:
1. The cities of Tigard, King City and Durham (collectively
the "Cities") withdrew from the original District effective July 1,
1993.
2. Pursuant to ORS 222.540, the District is obligated to
turn over to the Cities its water mains, service installations,
structures, facilities, improvements and other property in the area
withdrawn from the District as it existed on June 30, 1993,
(original District) that are not necessary for the operation of the
remainder of the water supply system of the District.
3. The area withdrawn by Tigard was a major portion of the
original District. Because of this, Tigard is entitled to a major
portion of the original District's infrastructure pursuant to ORS
222.540. King City and Durham are entitled to smaller portions of
the original District's infrastructure. Furthermore pursuant to
ORS 222.550, should the District dissolve, Tigard will be in a
position to obtain all of the District's remaining assets which
have not been distributed under ORS 222.540.
4. With the assets and infrastructure obtained by its
withdrawal from the original District, Tigard is creating a city
water department.
5. The Cities and District agree that it is in their best
interest if King City, Durham and the District were to be an
integrated part of a water supply network receiving water service
from Tigard's city water department. Tigard will receive revenue
from water users in Tigard, King City, Durham, and the District,
and with that revenue Tigard will provide the funds to pay for
expenses incurred in providing water service.
6. The Cities and District agree that it is in their best
interest to share authority for decision-making regarding the long-
term water supply and capital improvement planning to serve
present and future water customers of the original District.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 4 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
"Intangible property" includes but is not limited to: moneys,
checks, drafts, deposits, interest, dividends and income.
(2) Assets will be divided into two groups:
a. System Assets: Assets necessary for the operation of
Tigard's water supply system throughout the original
District, not including those "other assets" of Tigard.
Personal and intangible property are system assets.
Water mains, service installations, structures,
facilities, improvements or other property necessary for
operation of the City of Tigard's water supply system
throughout the original District are system assets.
b. Other Assets: Assets not necessary for the
operation of the City of Tigard's water supply system
throughout the original District. Other assets shall
become the property of the jurisdiction in which the
asset is located. Water mains, service installations,
structures, facilities, improvements or other property
not necessary for the operation of the City of Tigard's
water supply system throughout the original District are
other assets.
B. All system assets and other assets shall be pledged by
the Cities and the District to Tigard. All system assets and other
assets shall be managed by Tigard and shall be utilized by Tigard
in order to provide water services to properties, residences and
businesses in the original District.
C. Should one of the Cities or the District terminate its
water service agreement with Tigard, the Cities' and the District's
proportionate interest in a system asset shall be determined based
upon the following formula:
Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest = (A + B + C)/3
A = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Consumption in
original District
B = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Real Market
Value in original District
C = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Meters in
original District
The Cities' and the District's proportionate interest in
a system asset capital improvement shall be based upon the capital
improvement's depreciated value. The depreciated value shall be
based upon the useful life of the capital improvement under
generally accepted accounting principles using a straight line
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 5 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
method of depreciation.
D. Upon termination of this Agreement, other assets shall
become the property of the jurisdiction in which the asset is
located.
5. Asset Ownership/Water Rates/Revenues.
A. Tigard's Utilization of Assets.
(1) The Parties agree that all system assets in which the
Parties have an undetermined proportionate interest and all
other assets received as a result of the division of assets
after withdrawal from the original District by the Cities
shall be utilized by Tigard in order to provide water services
to properties, residences and businesses in the original
District. The District's ownership interest in the assets
shall remain though the assets are being utilized by Tigard,
unless and until transferred to Tigard by agreement or
operation of law. Tigard will maintain and insure the real
and personal property assets it utilizes. The Parties agree
to execute all documents necessary to allow utilization of the
assets by Tigard.
(2) Tigard agrees that it will maintain, preserve and keep
the assets it utilizes in good repair and working order.
Tigard may appropriate from the water fund all moneys
necessary to meet this obligation.
(3) Tigard shall keep the assets free of all levies, liens
and encumbrances except those created by this Agreement or
consented to by the governing body of the District in writing.
The Parties to this Agreement contemplate that the assets will
be used for a governmental or proprietary purpose by Tigard
and, therefore, that the assets will be exempt from all
property taxes. Nevertheless, if the use, possession or
acquisition of the assets are determined to be subject to
taxation, Tigard shall pay when due all taxes and governmental
charges lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to
the assets. Tigard shall pay all gas, water, steam,
electricity, heat, power, telephone, utility and other charges
incurred in the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and
upkeep of the assets. Where there is shared use of the
assets, these costs will be shared in an equitable manner.
(4) Tigard shall maintain (i) casualty insurance insuring the
assets against loss or damage by fire and all other risks
covered by the standard extended coverage endorsement then in
use in the State of Oregon and any other risks reasonably
required by District in an amount equal to at least the
replacement value of the assets and, (ii) liability insurance
1
INTERGOVER14MENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 6 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
that protects District, including its officers and
commissioners, from liability arising from Tigard's operation
of the water supply system in an amount satisfactory to
District and (iii) worker's compensation insurance covering
all employees working on, in, near or about the assets as
required under the laws of the State of Oregon. Tigard shall
furnish to District, certificates evidencing such coverage.
All such insurance shall be with insurers that are authorized
to issue such insurance in the State of Oregon, shall name
District as additional insured and shall contain a provision
to the effect that such insurance shall not be canceled or
modified materially and adversely to the interest of District
without first giving written notice thereof to District at
least ten (10) days in advance of such cancellation or
modification. All such casualty insurance shall contain a
provision making any losses payable to Tigard and District as
their respective interests may appear. Tigard may meet any of
these requirements through a self-insurance program. Such
insurance requirements may be waived in writing by the
governing body of the District.
(5) To the extent permitted by law, Tigard shall indemnify,
protect, hold harmless, save and keep harmless District from
and against any and all liability, obligation, loss, claim and
damage whatsoever, regardless of cause thereof, and all
expenses in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, counsel fees and expenses, penalties and interest
arising out of or as the result of the entering into of this
Agreement, the ownership of any asset or any accident in
connection with the operation, use, condition, possession,
storage or return of any asset resulting in damage to property
or injury to or death to any person; provided, however, that
Tigard shall not be deemed to be indemnifying District for
claims arising from its own conduct. The indemnification
arising under this paragraph shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for
any reason.
B. The fees, rates and charges charged by Tigard for
providing water services to properties, residences and businesses
in District shall be the same as those charged within Tigard.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tigard may impose higher fees, rates
and charges for providing water service to properties, residences
and businesses when the cost of providing such service is greater
due to unusual circumstances, including, but not limited to
additional cost to pump water up hill to reach customers. Any
higher fees, rates and charges imposed for providing water service
shall be reviewed by the Intergovernmental Water Board prior to
taking effect and shall be limited to covering the actual
additional costs of providing such service. When higher fees,
rates and charges are imposed, they shall be consistently applied
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 7 (12/23/93 - FINAL)

i~ that at the request of the District, Tigard will collect on behalf
of the District additional charges imposed by the District on
District customers.
C. Moneys/Revenues.
(1) Moneys and revenues for system capital improvement shall
be held by Tigard in a fund dedicated solely for this
purpose.
(2) Moneys transferred to Tigard as a result of the division
of assets after withdrawal from the original District by
Tigard which were previously dedicated by the District to
system capital improvement shall be used solely for
system capital improvement by Tigard in accordance with
subsection 5.D.
(3) Moneys deposited in a reserve fund for revenue bonds of
the water system are not a system asset and are not
subject to the system asset distribution formula in
Section 4 of this Agreement.
(4) The Parties agree to develop a methodology for system
development charges and to impose and collect such
charges in their respective jurisdictions. If any of the
Cities or District fail to impose system development
charges as contemplated herein, then the other parties
may elect to terminate collecting system development
charges within their jurisdictions. The Parties agree
that Tigard should collect the system development charges
imposed by the District until such time as Tigard imposes
its own charge.
D. Capital Improvements.
(1) (a) Capital projects shall be implemented in accord with
a long-range capital improvement program supported by
sound engineering analysis, in the best interests of
water customers within the original District, ignoring
city boundaries.
(b) The capital improvement program must be approved by
the governing bodies of one less than the number of
jurisdictions holding an ownership interest in the water
system. A governing body may not unreasonably withhold
consent if the program is supported by sound engineering
analysis, is in the best interests of water customers
within the original District and consistent with the goal
of working together to provide all of the residents and
property in the original District with a clean,
,f

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 8 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
economical water supply. If a proposed capital
improvement program is not approved as provided for in
this subsection, then the governing bodies of any two
jurisdictions may request mediation under the provisions
of ORS Chapter 36 to determine if approval of the program
has been unreasonably withheld.
(c) Tigard shall prepare and deliver to the District a
proposed Capital Improvement Plan no later than June 30,
1994 for consideration by the Cities and the District.
The District's Capital Improvement Plan dated [June,
1993], will guide Tigard's spending on capital projects
until a capital improvement program is adopted pursuant
to subsection (b).

location of a capital improvement whether within Tigard,
King City, Durham or the District and shall distinguish
whether a capital improvement qualifies as a system asset
or other asset.
(3) Capital improvements made subsequent to entering into
this Agreement that are determined to be other assets
shall become the property of the jurisdiction in which
the improvement is located. For capital improvements
made subsequent to entering into this Agreement that are
determined to be system assets, the Cities and the
District each shall have a proportionate interest in such
"system asset" capital improvement's depreciated value.
The depreciated value shall be based upon the useful life
of the capital improvement under generally accepted
accounting principles using a straight line method of
depreciation. The Cities' and the District's
proportionate interest in such "system asset" capital
improvement's depreciated value shall be determined based
upon the formula in Section 4.D. of this Agreement.
(4) Should one of the Cities or the District terminate its
water service agreement with Tigard, such jurisdiction
shall have rights to the use of all system assets equal
to its Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest as
determined above. Tigard shall be provided reasonable
compensation for any use of its water system necessary
for the continued reasonable use of a system asset by a
jurisdiction. If the asset is not essential to the
operation of such jurisdiction's water system, Tigard may
terminate such jurisdiction's rights in the system asset
capital improvement by payment of a sum equal to the
Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest in the depreciated
value of such system asset.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/WATER DISTRICT - 9 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
(5) The Parties acknowledge that the water system currently
serving the original District is an integrated system.

and to enter into such agreements necessary for the
continued reasonable operation of the resulting water
systems.
E. Long-term water supply contracts shall be entered into in
accord with the best interests of water customers within the
original District, ignoring city boundaries. Long-term water
supply contracts must be approved by the governing bodies of one
less than the number of jurisdictions holding an ownership interest
in the water system. A governing body may not unreasonably withhold
consent to a contract if the contract is supported by sound
engineering analysis, is in the best interests of water customers
within the original District and consistent: with the goal of
working together to provide all of the residents and property in
the original District with a clean, economical water supply. If a
proposed long-term water supply contract is not approved as
provided for in this subsection, then the governing bodies of any
two jurisdictions may request mediation under the provisions of ORS
Chapter 36 to determine if approval of the contract has been
unreasonably withheld.
F. The District shall receive an annual rebate equal to 1%
of the previous year's water sale revenue within the District for
it District expenses. In addition, Tigard[, at the District's
request,] will appropriate and deliver frem its> [an amount not

from water system revenues the cost of the District's Division of
Assets study undertaken to fulfill the District's obligations
pursuant to ORS 222.540.]

as other enterprise activities currently under the
jurisdiction of Tigard. Expenditures directly linked to
water activities will be recorded in the water fund.

of all revenues and expenditures made for the water
system. The Intergovernmental Water Board shall review
such allocation and methodology.

District, not including those "other assets" of Tigard.
Personal and intangible property are system assets.
Water mains, service installations, structures,
facilities, improvements or other property necessary for

water supply system throughout the original District are
other assets.
B. All system assets and other assets shall be pledged by
the Cities and the District to Tigard. All system assets and other
assets shall be managed by Tigard and shall be utilized by Tigard
in order to provide water services to properties, residences and
businesses in the original District.
C. Should one of the Cities or the District terminate its
water service agreement with Tigard, the Cities' and the District's
proportionate interest in a system asset shall be determined based
upon the following formula:
Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest = (A + B + C)/3
A = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Consumption in
original District
B = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Real Market
Value in original District
C = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Meters in
original District
The Cities' and the District's proportionate interest in
a system asset capital improvement shall be based upon the capital
improvement's depreciated value. The depreciated value shall be
based upon the useful life of the capital improvement under
generally accepted accounting principles using a straight line
method of depreciation.
D. Upon termination of this Agreement, other assets shall
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/DURHAM - 5 (12/23/93 - FINAL)

shall be utilized by Tigard in order to provide water services
to properties, residences and businesses in Durham. Durham's
Ou a--ship interest in the assets shall remain though the
assets are being utilized by Tigard, unless and until

taxes. Nevertheless, if the use, possession or acquisition of
the assets are determined to be subject to taxation, Tigard
shall pay when due all taxes and governmental charges lawfully
assessed or levied against or with respect to the assets.
Tigard shall pay all gas, water, steam, electricity, heat,
power, telephone, utility and other charges incurred in the
operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and upkeep of the
assets. Where there is shared use of the assets, these costs
will be shared in an equitable manner.

claims arising from its own conduct. The indemnification
arising under this paragraph shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for
any reason.
B. The fees, rates and charges charged by Tigard for
providing water services to properties, residences and businesses
in Durham shall be the same as those charged within Tigard.

and charges for providing water service to properties, residences
and businesses when the cost of providing such service is greater
due to unusual circumstances, including, but not limited to
additional cost to pump water up hill to reach customers. Any

in order to provide water services to properties, residences and
businesses in the original District.
C. Should one of the Cities or the District terminate its
water service agreement with Tigard, the Cities' and the District's
proportionate interest in a system asset shall be determined based
upon the following formula:
Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest = (A + B + C)/3
A = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Consumption in
original District
B = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Real Market
value in original District
C = Jurisdiction's Percentage of Current Meters in
original District
The Cities' and the District's proportionate interest in
a system asset capital improvement shall be based upon the capital
improvement's depreciated value. The depreciated value shall be
based upon the useful life of the capital improvement under
generally accepted accounting principles using a straight line
method of depreciation.
D. Upon termination of this Agreement, other assets shall
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/KING CITY - 5 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
become the property of the jurisdiction in which the asset is
located.
5. Asset ownership/Water Rates/Revenues.
A. Tigard's Utilization of Assets.
(1) The Parties agree that all system assets in which the
Parties have an undetermined proportionate interest and all
other assets received as a result of the division of assets
after withdrawal from the original District by the Cities
shall be utilized by Tigard in order to provide water services
to properties, residences and businesses in King City. King
City's ownership interest in the assets shall remain though
the assets are being utilized by Tigard, unless and until
transferred to Tigard by agreement or operation of law.
Tigard will maintain and insure the real and personal property
assets it utilizes. The Parties agree to execute all
documents necessary to allow utilization of the assets by
Tigard.
(2) Tigard agrees that it will maintain, preserve and keep
the assets it utilizes in good repair and working order.
Tigard may appropriate from the water fund all moneys
necessary to meet this obligation.
(3) Tigard shall keep the assets free of all levies, liens
NZ. and encumbrances except those created by this Agreement or
consented to by the governing body of King city in writing.
The Parties to this Agreement contemplate that the assets will
be used for a governmental or proprietary purpose by Tigard
and, therefore, that the assets will be exempt from all
property taxes. Nevertheless, if the use, possession or
acquisition of the assets are determined to be subject to
taxation, Tigard shall pay when due all taxes and governmental
charges lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to
the assets. Tigard shall pay all gas, water, steam,
electricity, heat, power, telephone, utility and other charges
incurred in the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and
upkeep of the assets. Where there is shared use of the
assets, these costs will be shared in an equitable manner.
(4) Tigard shall maintain (i) casualty insurance insuring the
assets against loss or damage by fire and all other risks
covered by the standard extended coverage endorsement then in
use in the State of Oregon and any other risks reasonably
required by King City in an amount equal to at least the
replacement value of the assets and, (ii) liability insurance
that protects King City, including its officers and employees,
from liability arising from Tigard's operation of the water
supply system in an amount satisfactory to King City and (iii)
T INTER'SOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/KING CITY - 6 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
worker's compensation insurance covering all employees working
on, in, near or about the assets as required under the laws of
the State of Oregon. Tigard shall furnish to King City,
certificates evidencing such coverage. All such insurance
shall be with insurers that are authorized to issue such
insurance in the State of Oregon, shall name King City as
additional insured and shall contain a provision to the effect
that such insurance shall not be canceled or modified
materially and adversely to the interest of King City without
first giving written notice thereof to King City at least ten
(10) days in advance of such cancellation or modification.
All such casualty insurance shall contain a provision making
any losses payable to Tigard and King City as their respective
interests may appear. Tigard may uic?t any of these
requirements through a self-insurance program. Such insurance
requirements may be waived in writing by the governing body of
King City.
(5) To the extent permitted by law, Tigard shall indemnify,
protect, hold harmless, save and keep harmless King City from
and against any and all liability, obligation, loss, claim and
damage whatsoever, regardless of cause thereof, and all
expenses in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, counsel fees and expenses, penalties and interest
arising out of or as the result of the entering into of this
Agreement, the ownership of any asset or any accident in
f connection with the operation, use, condition, possession,
? storage or return of any asset resulting in damage to property
or injury to or death to any person; provided, however, that
Tigard shall not be deemed to be indemnifying King City for
claims arising from its own conduct. The indemnification
arising under this paragraph shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for
any reason.
B. The fees, rates and charges charged by Tigard for
providing water services to properties, residences and businesses
in King City shall be the same as those charged within Tigard.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tigard may impose higher fees, rates
and charges for providing water service to properties, residences
and businesses when the cost of providing such service is greater
due to unusual circumstances, including, but not limited to
additional cost to pump water up hill to reach customers. Any
higher fees, rates and charges imposed for providing water service
shall be reviewed by the Intergovernmental Water Board prior to
taking effect and shall be limited to covering the actual
additional costs of providing such service. When higher fees,
rates and charges are imposed, they shall be consistently applied
in both Tigard and the remainder of the original District, except
that at the request of King City, Tigard will collect on behalf of
King City additional charges imposed by King City on King city

TIGARD/KING CITY - 7 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
customers.
C. Moneys/Revenues.
(1) Moneys and revenues for system capital improvement shall
be held by Tigard in a fund dedicated solely for this
purpose.
(2) Moneys transferred to Tigard as a result of the division
of assets after withdrawal from the original District by
Tigard which were previously dedicated by the District to
system capital improvement shall be used solely for
system capital improvement by Tigard in accordance with
subsection 5.D.
(3)
Moneys deposited in a reserve fund for revenue bonds of
the water system are not a system asset and are not
subject to the system asset distribution formula in
Section 4 of this Agreement.
(4)
The Parties agree to develop a methodology for system
development charges and to impose and collect such
charges in their respective jurisdictions. If any of the
Cities or District fail to impose system development
charges as contemplated herein, then the other parties
may elect to terminate collecting system development
charges within their jurisdictions. The Parties agree
that <T!qJard> [they] should collect the system
development charges imposed by the District until such
time as [the Cities impose their]
own charge.
D.
Capital Improvements.
(1)
(a) Capital projects shall be implemented in accord with
a long-range capital improvement program supported by
sound engineering analysis, in the best interests of
water customers within the original District, ignoring
city boundaries.
(b) The capital improvement program must be approved by
the governing bodies of one less than the number of
jurisdictions holding an ownership interest in the water
system. A governing body may not unreasonably withhold
consent if the program is supported by sound engineering
analysis, is in the best interests of water customers
within the original District and consistent with the goal
of working together to provide all of the residents and
property in the original District with a clean,
economical water supply. If a proposed capital
improvement program is not approved as provided for in
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/KING CITY - 8 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
this subsection, then the governing bodies of any two
jurisdictions may request mediation under the provisions
of ORS Chapter 36 to determine if approval of the program
has been unreasonably withheld.
(c) Tigard shall prepare and deliver to the Cities and
the District a proposed Capital Improvement Plan no later
than June 30, 1994 for consideration by the Cities and
the District. The District's Capital Improvement Plan
dated June, 1993, will guide Tigard's spending on capital
projects until a capital improvement program is adopted
pursuant to subsection (b).
Al
(2) The capital improvement program shall establish the
location of a capital improvement whether within Tigard,
King City, Durham or the District and shall distinguish
whether a capital improvement qualifies as a system asset
or other asset.
(3) Capital improvements made subsequent to entering into
this Agreement that are determined to be other assets
shall become the property of the jurisdiction in which
the improvement is located. For capital improvements
made subsequent to entering into this Agreement that are
determined to be system assets, the Cities and the
District each shall have a proportionate interest in such
"system asset" capital improvement's depreciated value.
The depreciated value shall be based upon the useful life
of the capital improvement under generally accepted
accounting principles using a straight line method of
depreciation. The Cities' and the District's
proportionate interest in such "system asset" capital
improvement's depreciated value shall be determined based
upon the formula in Section 4.D. of this Agreement.
(4) Should one of the Cities or the District terminate its
water service agreement with Tigard, such jurisdiction
shall have rights to the use of all system assets equal
to its Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest as
determined above. Tigard shall be provided reasonable
compensation for any use of its water system necessary
for the continued reasonable use of a system asset by a
jurisdiction. If the asset is not essential to the
operation of such jurisdiction's water system, Tigard may
terminate such jurisdiction's rights in the system asset
capital improvement by payment of a sum equal to the
Jurisdiction's Proportionate Interest in the depreciated
value of such system asset.
(5) The Parties acknowledge that the water system currently
serving the original District is an integrated system.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/KING CITY - 9 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
To the extent that either Party should terminate this
Agreement, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other
and to enter into such agreements necessary for the
continued reasonable operation of the resulting water
systems.
E. Long-term water supply contracts shall be entered into in
accord with the best interests of water customers within the
original District, ignoring city boundaries. Long-term water
supply contracts must be approved by the governing bodies of one
less than the number of jurisdictions holding an ownership interest
in the water system. A governing body may not unreasonably withhold
consent to a contract if the contract is supported by sound
engineering analysis, is in the best interests of water customers
within the original District and consistent with the goal of
working together to provide all of the residents and property in
the original District with a clean, economical water supply. If a
proposed long-term water supply contract is not approved as
provided for in this subsection, then the governing bodies of any
two jurisdictions may request mediation under the provisions of ORS
Chapter 36 to determine if approval of the contract has been
unreasonably withheld.
F. The City of King City shall receive an annual rebate
equal to 1% of the previous year's water sale revenue within the
City of King City for potable water supply related expenses.
[Tigard, at the District's request, will appropriate and deliver an
Aft' amount not to exceed $40,000 from Tigard's initial (1/94 to 6/94)
water fund budget for District operating expenses for the period
from January 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995. Tigard will reimburse
the District from water system revenues the cost of the District's
Division of Assets study undertaken to fulfill the District's
obligations pursuant to ORS 222.540.]
G. Accounting
(1) Water activities will be accounted for in the same manner
as other enterprise activities currently under the
jurisdiction of Tigard. Expenditures directly linked to
water activities will be recorded in the water fund.
Applicable indirect charges will be apportioned to the
water fund in the same manner as such charges are
apportioned to other enterprise funds to properly reflect
the costs associated with each activity. Tigard shall
use generally accepted accounting principles applicable
to utility enterprises for the recording and identifying
of all revenues and expenditures made for the water
system. The Intergovernmental Water Board shall review
such allocation and methodology.
(2) The accounting method used by Tigard shall, to the extent
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
TIGARD/KING CITY - 10 (12/23/93 - FINAL)
possible, document the use of assets by Tigard for non-
water system activities. Use of assets by Tigard for
non-water activities shall be f ended from resources other
than the water fund.
H. The Parties to this Agreement shall not have the right to
transfer ownership of or remove system assets or any interest
therein received as a result of the Cities' withdrawal from the
original District or any interest in system assets acquired during
the term of this Agreement without written consent of the other
Party. Neither the benefits received by King City nor the
obligations incurred under the terms of this Agreement are
assignable or in any manner transferrable by King City without the
written consent of Tigard.
I. No part of this Agreement shall be interpreted as a
waiver of either Party's statutory rights upon annexation of
territory.

A. Each of the Parties shall be liable for their respective
share of the debt, if any, acquired as a result of withdrawal from
the original District.
B. Tigard may incur, without the consent of King City, debt

{ is fee, rate or charge based. If the debt is to be paid for by
means other than fees, rates or charges, Tigard must have approval
and consent of the governing body of King City in writing prior to
incurring such debt. King City shall be liable for its
proportionate share of any debt for which it has given its written
approval and consent.
C. Tigard is authorized to perform the function and activity
of incurring water revenue bond indebtedness for the water system
by authorizing the issuance of water revenue bonds pursuant to ORS
288.805 to 288.945, as amended, for the financing of water system
capital improvements. Such debt may be secured by a pledge of
water system revenues, appropriate rate covenants, and mortgaging
of water system assets. <Any mortgaging [Tigard may not
mortgage] water system assets Eshall require the eensen-t-e€-the
elties and the Dlst lei [without first receiving the written
consent of the Cities' and District's governing bodies.]
D. If this Agreement is terminated by either Party and
indebtedness remains under Section 6.A. or has been incurred and

AGENDA ITEM #
For Agenda of December 28, 1993
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE
PREPARED BY: Wayne DEPT HEAD OK's CITY ADMIN OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall the City Council approve a supplemental budget for the inclusion of
Water activities in 1993/94.
s
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the supplemental budget.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Local budget law allows the governing body to adopt a supplemental budget for
the creation of a new fund and to increase appropriations by more than 10%
for any fund.
Because the City will be assuming the operation of the Water system on
January 1, 1994, it is necessary to budget for resources and expenditures for
those activities for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The attached supplemental budget resolution creates the appropriate Water
funds to account for water activities and establishes revenues and
appropriations for water activities for the balance of 1993/94.
A notice and budget summary was published in the Oregonian on December 13,
1993 and a second notice was published on December 17, 1993. If 10 or more
interested taxpayers request it in writing, the supplemental budget must be
referred to the budget committee. If no such requests are made, the council
may approve the supplemental budget.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
* Approve supplemental budget as submitted.
* Amend then approve.
FISCAL NOTES
This Supplemental budget as submitted creates four Water funds with total
resources of $5,158,500 and appropriations of $5,158,500.
