6. Water Building/Asset Discussion - Continued from the January 10, 2007 Meeting
Mr. Koellermeier reported the City of Tigard's (COT's) interest in acquiring the water building
had not changed. He distributed two flowcharts depicting options for Tigard's ownership of the
water building and the surplus property at the Canterbury site.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes February 14, 2007
1
Commissioner Scheiderich said there were two issues before the IWB:
■ What is the preferred disposition of the water building?
■ If disposing of the building, what should be done with the proceeds? Possible
suggestions included a cash payout to IWB members, a rate rebate, or deposit the funds
in a capital improvement reserve.
The Commissioners responded as follows:
Commissioner Carroll The Durham City Council voted unanimously to retain
City of Durham ownership of the water building and enter into an
equitable, long-term lease agreement with the COT.
Money generated from rent should be placed in the
water capital fund.
Commissioner Winn Commissioner Winn would honor the 1993
City of King City Intergovernmental Agreement that established the IWB
and transfer ownership to the City of Tigard.
Commissioner Rhine The TWD had not discussed the disposition of the water
Tigard Water District building, but the surplus Canterbury property had been
(TWD) discussed. The sentiment was proceeds resulting from
the sale of a water asset need to be reinvested in water
capital improvement projects.
Commissioner Buehner The Tigard City Council is ready to act with regard to
City of Tigard ownership and is also supportive of putting funds into a
long-term capital fund. The COT wants an equitable
solution.
The Board briefly discussed the improvements the COT is planning for the water building.
Commissioner Scheiderich proposed the following options for the Board's consideration:
■ Lease Allowing for Improvement Credit
The COT and the IWB could draft a lease in which the City would get depreciated credit for the
water building improvements should the IWB partnership dissolve and the lease be terminated
prematurely.
■ Title Transfer to IWB Members
Commissioner Scheiderich recognized the City of Tigard did not want to invest $600,000 in a
building it does not own. He proposed the City become the property's owner of record. The
TWD would retain a proportionate share in the building, while deeding the remaining shares to
the Cities of Tigard, King City, and Durham. The City of Tigard, as the largest shareholder,
would have majority ownership in the building. This arrangement is known as a tenancy in
common and could be terminated by any of the tenants (IWB members) removing themselves
from the tenancy. This would force a sale of that member's shares in the building. Typically, the
other tenants would buy out these shares. The method to allocate shares would need to be
formulated.
Commissioner Scheiderich gave the example of the COT putting $600,000 of improvements into
the building, but also owning a 60 percent share in the deed record. The City would be
improving its own building and this would not be a concern for the other members.
Commissioner Rhine said this arrangement was similar to other joint ownership arrangements
the IWB had entered into. Commissioner Winn commented this option was reasonable.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes February 14,2007
2
Commissioner Scheiderich said such an arrangement would protect the ownership interests of
each IWB member.
Commissioner Buehner advised if the building were to be sold, all the members would have to
agree to the sale. Commissioner Scheiderich added a separate right of first refusal agreement
could be created. In the event one tenant should decide to back out of the tenancy, this
agreement would give the remaining tenants first option to buy the departing tenant's shares.
Commissioner Carroll countered if the larger shareholders decided to sell the building, it would
be difficult for the other members to raise enough money to buy the available shares.
Commissioner Buehner advised the general rule of joint ownership is none of the partners can
sell unless all the partners are in agreement. The smallest partner could prevent a sale, despite
the preference of all the other members. A side agreement could be created stating any tenant
who wants out of the tenancy could either require a sale of the property or have their interest
bought out. If the COT chose this route, the other IWB members might not be able to come up
with the money to buy the City's shares. This scenario would probably necessitate the sale of
the building.
Commissioner Carroll said he could support an agreement in which the water building could not
be transferred out of the water district without the approval of all four IWB members.
Commissioner Buehner responded this was the general rule. Commissioner Carroll said he
would want these terms included in an agreement.
Commissioner Scheiderich requested a legal opinion: If the TWD were to deed the water
building title to the IWB members, based on some type of proportional share formula, could any
of the owners in common (IWB members) prevent sale of the asset outright? Could any one of
the tenants in common force a sale?
Commissioner Carroll expressed support for a right of first refusal agreement. He emphasized
the important thing would be to create a document guaranteeing the water building stays under
the control of the water district representatives until all the members find a compelling reason to
liquidate the asset.
Mr. Koellermeier noted even after improvements, the water building will only house about half of
the Public Works Department staff. At some point in the future, it is likely the department will
need to move to a larger facility and the water building would no longer be used for water
purposes.
Commissioner Buehner said a side agreement could be created to transfer ownership to the
new facility based on the same ratios established for the water building. Commissioner Carroll
said if there came a time when the water building is no longer of any value, he would support
selling the property with the proceeds going to the water fund. Rather than have ownership in
the new facility, he proposed the water-related functions could be assessed an equitable fee
based on their proportional use of the new building.
Commissioner Winn added he wasn't concerned about the disposition of the water building as
long as it doesn't affect the operation of the water system.
The Board discussed the Public Works Department future facility.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes February 14,2007

Commissioner Rhine remarked if the water building had no public service value and was also
not needed for the operation of the water system, then the building would be surplus and should
be sold. Other IWB members agreed. Commissioner Carroll added the proceeds should go to
the water system. Mr. Koellermeier agreed, provided the water fund had paid for the initial
improvements.
Commissioner Rhine said it was reasonable for improvements to be credited or backed out of
the sale. Commissioner Carroll asserted not all improvements should qualify for a credit. He
continued by saying a major capital expense, like replacement of the HVAC system, should
qualify, while more minor improvements, like erecting walls for offices, should not.
Commissioner Scheiderich suggested two options should the COT vacate the water building
before the improvements were fully depreciated:
■ The City could be given a higher share of the proceeds from the sale of the building.
■ The City could accept the loss.
Commissioner Winn remarked the building was also appreciating in value.
Commissioner Buehner cautioned if the IWB created a tenancy in common, it needed to be
aware one member of the IWB would have the power to halt whatever the other members
wished to do. She suggested when the time comes to move to a new facility, all the members
should agree to be reasonable and prudent and to sign off on the disposition of the water
building.
The IWB agreed to move forward with an agreement.
Mr. Koellermeier commented this arrangement worked for the COT because money wouldn't
have to be moved from one fund to another.
Commissioner Scheiderich requested Mr. Koellermeier return with some options on how shares
in the water building might be calculated.
Commissioner Carroll asked how the $600,000 in improvements will affect the agreement.
Commissioner Buehner noted there would need to be a specific allocation of what goes into the
HVAC system versus more traditional tenant improvements. Mr. Koellermeier said the cost of
the HVAC system is approximately $350,000.
Mr. Koellermeier explained between 58 and 60 percent of the water building complex is being
used for water system operations.
Commissioner Scheiderich proposed 60 percent of the improvements should then be charged to
the water fund. As tenants in common, each of the IWB members would share in the water
building's appreciation. Commissioner Carroll asked how the remaining 40 percent of non-water
functions would be charged to the COT. Commissioner Scheiderich countered that since the
City owns more than a 40 percent share in the building, this was a moot point as far as the IWB
is concerned.
Commissioner Carroll asserted any non-water related functions should have to compensate the
water board for the use of the building. Commissioner Winn commented this compensation
should go to the water capital improvement fund. The other Commissioners concurred.
Mr. Koellermeier said he would draw up the points the IWB had discussed.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes February 14,2007

With regard to the water building, Commissioner Carroll commented the IWB's arrangement
with the COT could be a "paper exercise" where no actual money changed hands.
Commissioner Buehner noted fair rental value needed to be determined.
Commissioner Carroll added that 40 percent of the water building improvements should be
considered lease tenant improvements because this portion of the building would be allocated
for non-water functions. He continued by saying these users should pay a monthly rent based
on square footage.
The IWB agreed operational costs of the building would be allocated based on the use of the
building. Mr. Koellermeier clarified operational costs of the building are water department costs,
but they have a rent revenue.
Commissioner Buehner requested Attorney Clark Balfour be hired to work on the IWB's behalf.
Mr. Koellermeier outlined the process for the COT to acquire the surplus property at Canterbury
as follows:
■ Determine the boundary of the surplus property
■ Declare the property as surplus
■ IWB approves the sale of the surplus property
■ The COT buys the surplus property for park purposes
• Proceeds from the sale are credited to the water capital fund
The TWD Board of Commissioners has agreed to sell the property for the appraised value.
Commissioner Rhine commented the conditions of the sale of surplus property were spelled out
in the 1993 agreement that created the IWB.
Mr. Koellermeier advised the TWD had leased one corner of the Canterbury property to the
John Tigard House. With regard to the sale of the surplus property, he proposed two options:
■ Exclude the property leased by the John Tigard House from the surplus property. In this
case, the TWD would continue to own and lease this section of the property.
■ Include the John Tigard House in the surplus park property with the understanding the
COT will continue the lease. In this case, Mr. Koellermeier asserted the City should not
have to pay for that section of the property.
The IWB expressed a preference for the latter option. Commissioner Scheiderich noted this
arrangement should be subject to a lease strictly for the purpose of preserving the John Tigard
House. He suggested a conservation easement. Commissioner Rhine said the COT Parks
Division could administer the property.
The IWB discussed a property appraisal. In order to buy the property, Mr. Koellermeier advised
the COT's purchasing rules would necessitate an appraisal. He advised that although the City
wanted to purchase the property for a park, the Tigard City Council would have to approve the
purchase before the sale was finalized. Commissioner Scheiderich requested the partition be
designed in such a way that the property would be attractive to other buyers besides Tigard.

Commissioner Scheiderich requested Mr. Koellermeier provide some options regarding the
apportionment of the proceeds regarding the water building. Revenue generated might be
considered in the formula.
7. Election of a Chair and Vice-Chair
Commissioner Carroll motioned to reelect Commissioner Scheiderich to the position of
Chairman; Commissioner Rhine seconded the motion.
Commissioner Buehner asked Commissioner Carroll if he would continue to serve as Vice
Chairman, Commissioner Carroll said yes. Commissioner Rhine seconded the motion.
The motions were approved by unanimous vote.
Note: Commissioner Scheiderich left the meeting at 6:31p.m.
8. Informational Items
Mr. Koellermeier introduced Mr. Goodrich who provided information on proposed updates to the
cross connection program. In order to bring the program into compliance with state regulations,
Mr. Goodrich said the Tigard City Council will consider revisions to its municipal code regarding
cross connections. The proposed updates are comparable with other local jurisdictions,
including the Tualatin Valley Water District.
The IWB discussed backflow, different types of backflow prevention devices, and the process
for informing the public about the regulations. Commissioner Buehner advocated educating
water customers about backflow.

4. Water Building/Asset Discussion Continued
Commissioner Scheiderich pointed out the memo from Clark Balfour on the
Canterbury property which was before each of the Commissioners.
Mr. Koellermeier provided background on three real property issues the Board
has discussed over the past year. Mr. Koellermeier noted each of the three
properties has a unique set of circumstances. The three properties and their
status are as follows:
■ Clute property
- Both the Board and the Tigard City Council have declared the
property as surplus.
- Despite various attempts, the property did not sell on the open
market.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 10,2007
1
Since the property didn't sell, the City of Tigard decided to consider
constructing a park on the site.
If the City were to proceed with the park, the property would be
transferred from a water asset to a park asset.
The Clute property was purchased before 1994 and is considered a
system asset.
The property has been partitioned and appraised.
Process to Dispose:
• The next step to dispose of the property would be for the Board
to come up with a selling price to present to the Tigard City
Council.
• The City Council could either purchase the property or put the
property back on the open market.
■ Canterbury property
- A large portion of the Canterbury property is surplus to the
operation of the water system.
- The City of Tigard is proposing the surplus portion of the property
be converted to an other asset and be transferred to the City;
Tigard would like to construct a park on the surplus portion of the
site.
- The City of Tigard would like to have issue resolved by July in order
to construct the park in the next fiscal year.
- The property was a Tigard Water District (TWD) asset before the
1993 IGA was created.
- The property has never been partitioned.
- It was Attorney Balfour's opinion that the IWB was the decision-
making body with regard to the disposition of the surplus property.
- Packet information from a consulting engineer says there was no
need for the surplus property as it relates to the reservoir.
- Mr. Koellermeier proposed an easement be granted in the event an
ASR well is ever contemplated.
- Process to Dispose:
• IWB needs to declare the property surplus and authorize the
minor partition application process.
• Once completed, the TWD would deed the surplus property
to the City of Tigard.
Commissioner Rhine said the TWD had heard from many constituents during
the recent incorporation attempt of Bull Mountain. These constituents were
not in favor of the property being transferred. He indicated the TWD needed
to have further discussion regarding the transfer of the Canterbury property.
Mr. Koellermeier said he and the Chairperson of the TWD had discussed the
possible transfer and both are seeking a positive outcome for all parties
involved.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 10, 2007

■ Water building
- The City of Tigard is planning to remodel and upgrade the water
building and replace the building's HVAC systems; a $600,000
investment in the water building.
- It is messy for the City to make such an investment when the
building has such a complicated ownership structure.
- Some of Tigard's Public Works staff must be relocated because
their existing work place will be demolished as part of an upcoming
road project. Following the water building remodel, Public Works
staff could be housed in this facility.
- When the City of Tigard took over the operational aspects of the
water system, the City's finance operation moved into the water
building.
- A portion of the building is still used by the water and sanitary
sewer divisions.
- Since 1994, about one-third of the water building has been directly
used for water-related functions.
- The water building was completely omitted in the asset allocation
and description in the 1994 IGA. At that time, the building was used
solely for the operation of the water system and it is reasonable to
assume the building would have been considered a system asset.
As such, transfer would follow a process similar to that proposed for
the Canterbury property and outlined in the IGA.
- IWB partners' value in the building only exists if they were to
withdraw from the group. The formula related to such a withdrawal
is what could be used to identify the value of each partner's assets.
- Process to Dispose:
• Establish the value of the land, which does not depreciate.
• Calculate the value of the building based on the depreciation
schedule.
• Mr. Koellermeier suggested part of the disposal transaction
could guarantee the City would provide work space for water-
related functions as long as the existing IWB relationship
continues. In other words, IWB rate payers would not be asked
to fund the construction of another facility to house water-related
functions at some future time.
• The City of Tigard would pay minority owners for their share of
the building/property based on ownership percentages as
outlined in the IGA.
• Minority owners would give the City clear title to the
building/property.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 10,2007

In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Scheiderich, Mr.
Koellermeier confirmed:
- Four to five water billing staff are housed in City Hall.
- The plan is to house twelve or thirteen additional water division staff
in the remodeled water building.
- Equipment is stored at the water building and at the Canterbury
site.
- Operational and maintenance costs are calculated through an
allocation formula and are shared among building users by way of
interfund transfers.
- Depreciation costs are not included in this allocation formula.
Commissioner Scheiderich directed the discussion to IWB members' disposition
of their interest in the water building.
Mr. Koellermeier noted, as part of Tigard's planning process, the water building
was expected to remain in public use. Commissioner Buehner added the City
Center Advisory Committee and the Tigard City Council have incorporated the
water building into the downtown plan.
Commissioner Scheiderich inquired whether the Board's preferred disposition
would be to sell the building to Tigard or to dispose of the facility by some other
means. If sold to Tigard, some agreement regarding the housing of the water-
related functions/staff would need to reached. If the members agree to liquidate
the water building and Tigard pays the assessed value, then space issues for the
water function will need to be addressed.
Mr. Koellermeier stated the current plan is all water functions, except billing, to be
housed in water building.
Commissioner Carroll asked about the ramifications of the water building being
intentionally omitted from the IGA. Mr. Koellermeier clarified, per the IGA, the
TWD pledged all assets. However, the report that deals with the assets and
liabilities is silent regarding the water building.
Commissioners Scheiderich and Winn stated the building was a system asset.
Mr. Koellermeier added the building had been used as though it was a system
asset. Commissioner Scheiderich said viewing the building as a system asset
gives each IWB member a share.
Commissioner Carroll expressed a preference to come to an equitable monetary
agreement with the City of Tigard and maintain the building as a system asset of
the water district. Commissioner Scheiderich asked if that meant charging the
City of Tigard rent and then crediting that money back to the water system.
Commissioner Carroll suggested the transaction be monetarily neutral and the
only issue would be ownership. He suggested Tigard could sign a ten-year lease
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 10,2007
4
and the Board could consider issuing credits for the City's financial investment in
the building.
Commissioner Winn suggested the asset be transferred to the City of Tigard.
Commissioner Buehner said the agreement was deficient and the asset issue
needed to be resolved. Regarding the disposition of the water building, she said
each IWB member's interest should be determined and a method developed to
credit them or buy them out. Commissioner Buehner said she supported a
transfer.
Commissioner Rhine said he did not object to an equitable transfer. He asked if
such a transaction would affect water rates. Mr. Koellermeier responded rates do
not have a depreciation reserve. Therefore, the transfer would have no impact on
rates unless another water facility was constructed. To address this issue, Mr.
Koellermeier again proposed some sort of guarantee be incorporated into an
agreement stipulating King City, Durham and TWD rate payers would not be
asked to fund the construction of another water facility.
Commissioner Scheiderich proposed the IWB could also transfer a percentage
interest in the water building, exempting whatever percentage of the facility was
needed to operate the water division.
Commissioner Scheiderich suggested the each Board member discuss the
property transfer matter with their respective cities/TWD prior to the next IWB
meeting.
Commissioner Winn requested a brief written description of options.
Commissioner Scheiderich indicated staff could prepare the description and
would he edit the document.
In response to a question from Commissioner Carroll, Mr. Koellermeier said
almost all public works staff would be relocated to the water building following the
building remodel.
Commissioner Carroll suggested it may be in the best interest of water
customers to use the water building as a potential revenue source to affect water
rates.
Commissioner Scheiderich asked if the water building, or a portion of the water
building, was sold or rented, what did the Board want to do with the money. He
suggested some options might be putting the money in a capital improvement
fund, providing a rate rebate, or sending a check to IWB members.
Commissioner Carroll said his preference would be to keep the money for water-
related needs. He noted the cost of future capital improvements and the need to
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 10,2007
5
build reserves. He reiterated his desire that assets be used for water-related
needs which benefit all rate payers. Commissioner Scheiderich said this could
also be a discussion item when this matter was considered by the member cities
and the TWD.
Commissioner Buehner said she would seek a formal opinion from the Tigard
City Council, but added the Council was concerned about the impending cost of
capital improvements. Any money should go into a communal fund dedicated to
the long-term water source.
Commissioner Rhine concurred. He added there was some inequity in buying out
minority owners. The money would go into the general funds of King City and
Durham and the checking account of the TWD. The TWD has no way to spend
that money.
Commissioner Carroll asserted the agreement should be rewritten to say that any
asset, irrelevant of when or how it came into the system, is an asset of the
system's rate payers. He went on to say parks, roads, and green spaces were
not the Board's concern and he didn't think such discussions should take place.
He said the Board's focus should be to represent the rate payers of the water
system. Commissioner Carroll stressed the real issue was whether the City of
Tigard was willing to pay the fair market value for property and use property
proceeds to benefit rate payers.
Commissioner Buehner added the Board's decision should take into account the
possibility of a water system expansion.
Commissioner Scheiderich explained that whether through a property sale or
rental, money would be generated and the Board needed to discuss how this
money would be dealt with.
Commissioner Winn said the rate payers are the Tigard water department. The
rates paid reflect the health of the water organization. Commissioner Scheiderich
confirmed Commissioner Winn supported putting any proceeds into a communal
water fund.
The dissolution of assets formula in the IGA was discussed. The formula is
based on a combination of assessed value and the number of water customers.
Commissioner Carroll noted the formula becomes a moot point if all the money
goes into a capital expenditure fund.
Commissioner Scheiderich summarized the consensus was to place the money
in a capital fund.
Mr. Koellermeier recapped the options:
■ Outright sale of the entire water building.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 10,2007
6
■ Sale of a portion of the water building while reserving some fractional part
of the building for water-related uses.
Mr. Koellermeier asked if the Board's intent was to create a new agreement that
would function as a water-asset only operation and offer a level of equality
across all users. He noted this would be a very different from the existing IGA.
Commissioner Carroll responded that he was not suggesting Board
representation change. The Board has always given each member one vote,
despite the fact that some members represent more water customers than
others. He questioned whether this arrangement would continue with a new
agreement.
Commissioner Carroll added it was important to view the matter as a water
delivery system. Water customers are essentially the same and pay the same
rates, no matter what city they live in. He stated, in the past, the entire water
system was considered when making decisions and this is how the system
operated until the property disposition issues arose.
Commissioner Rhine commented the transactions involved disposing of a
surplus water asset and putting the proceeds towards another water system
asset. He said this was simply improving the asset base.
Commissioner Carroll agreed, but declared that Tigard wanted the Canterbury at
no cost. This offers no benefit to the rate payers.
Commissioner Carroll added he had no issue disposing of the water building if
there was a better use for the money and provided there is a financial benefit to
the rate payers.
Note: Item 4 was heard after item 5.
5. Update on Cach Creek Area Annexation
Mr. Koellermeier reported the petitioners have withdrawn their challenge and
the annexation will stand.
6. Informational Items
Mr. Koellermeier pointed out a Survey for Asbestos report regarding the Clute
property and advised asbestos and lead mitigation issues will add some costs to
building disposal. Options for disposing of the house include: deconstruction, a

3. STUDY SESSION
3.1 Joint Meeting with the Tigard City Council and the Intergovernmental Water
Board
Mayor Hammerstad provided the introductions. In May 2005 the City of Tigard approached
Lake Oswego because it was interested in having a stable source that would satisfy its long-term
water interests. The policy considerations would be discussed at this meeting,but no decisions
would be made. Each entity hoped to gather information from this meeting and develop an
understanding of complementary needs. Tigard desires to secure a long-term water source, and
Lake Oswego has an apparent surplus of available water from its water rights in the Clackamas
River. Lake Oswego has a high need for infrastructure improvements in the system the cost of
which was considerable. If the costs were shared over a larger base, then the improvements
would be more affordable. Tigard would not have to seek another water provider and would gain
some infrastructure on its own. Lake Oswego needed certainty regarding the access of adequate
water supplies and was responding to recent legislation that required Lake Oswego to use its
water right or lose it in the future.
Mr. Komarek reported that the Cities of Tigard and Lake Oswego entered into an
intergovernmental agreement(IGA)to jointly fund the study effort that began June 2006. The
preliminary findings of that effort were presented at this meeting. When he and Mr.
Koellermeier discussed the scope of work they identified objectives they felt needed to be
addressed. First and foremost it was important to talk about securing long-term supplies for
Lake Oswego and possibly Tigard. The intent was to identify a preferred supply scenario, its
feasibility and costs, and necessary facility improvements and institutional arrangements that
would allow for water to be shared between the two cities.
The Lake Oswego water supply intake was built in the late 1960's and was located about a mile
upstream from the confluence of the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers. The water was pumped
through a 27-inch transmission main under the Willamette to the treatment plant located in West
Linn. The initial size of the plant was approximately 11 mgd. The water was treated to drinking
City Council Minutes Page 1 of 13
November 14, 2006
water standards and pumped through another transmission main to the Waluga Reservoir on the
western edge of the service area. The pipeline from the intake to the treatment plant was about
14,000 feet, and the line from the plant to the reservoir was 20,000 feet. In 1980 the treatment
plant was expanded to its current capacity of 16 mgd. Water was presently supplied to Lake
Oswego residents, a number of special districts located within the urban service boundary(USB),
the City of Tigard, and several small subdivisions located in the City of Portland.
Some of the drivers from Lake Oswego's perspective had to do with a number of infrastructure
improvements needed due to age and demands within the service area. It seemed like an
opportune time to consider a partnership between Lake Oswego and Tigard. Even without such a
partnership the in-City demands were quickly approaching the current treatment capacity, so it
was important to start the planning effort. The major infrastructure was 40 years old and there
were vulnerabilities related to the single pipeline crossing the Willamette. The infrastructure
needs will be costly, so a partnership could ameliorate some of the rate impacts by spreading
those costs over a larger base. HB 3038 presented most entities holding water permits with some
uncertainty as to whether or not they would ultimately be able to develop all the water under
those permits.
Lake Oswego and Tigard have both been members of the Regional Water Providers Consortium
since 1995. That effort recognized the benefits of a regional system of transmission mains and
interconnected water sources for reliability and opportunities to reduce environmental impacts
that certain sources were exhibiting. This was an opportunity to explore regional benefits that
had been discussed at the Consortium for a number of years.
Mr. Koellermeier described the general boundaries of the Intergovernmental Water Board
service area that represented 55,000 people. It was bounded by Hwy 217, the Tualatin River,
Scholls Ferry Road, and the urban growth boundary(UGB). For all practical purposes Tigard
acquired its water on the spot market which was sometimes a tenuous position. The primary
water source at this time was the City of Portland under a ten-year service agreement. That
however did not provide all the water needed by Tigard, so water was purchased from several
other sources to meet peak usage demands. Tigard was a partner in the Joint Water Commission,
but it was structured in such a way that it only allowed the City to access surplus capacity from
the other partners. As those partners grew, the capacity was less available. The group was
working on a major water supply effort with the Hagg Lake Reservoir Complex which was very
expensive and complicated. Tigard would be the farthest customer, and transporting water was
very expensive. Shorter transmission generally was a cost-saving factor for any water provider.
The City of Tigard had enjoyed a wholesale relationship with Lake Oswego, and before 1994
most of the water in the Tigard District was obtained from the Lake Oswego system. A good
share of the infrastructure was designed around that model.
Tigard was involved with aquifer storage and recovery(ASR)which was a technique whereby
the City purchased water during the winter when it was plentiful and injected and stored in wells
for use in the summer. It was not the end all of Tigard's problems,but it was a good stop gap
measure for meeting summer demands. Tigard was one of the founding members with water
rights on the Willamette River. It was the first community that went through the process and
ended up with a charter amendment that required a vote of the people to approve use of
Willamette River water. Wilsonville has been using the Willamette River for three years with
excellent results.
It was important for Tigard to make some decisions. The City was growing while at the same
time water sources were scarce. The City wanted to be involved at the ownership level so there
would be some certainty and to be able to use the financial mechanisms at hand. Ownership
would put part of the financial burden into the SDC structure. Currently Tigard's source issues
had to be 100%rate funded. When Tigard negotiated 10-year increment contracts with Portland
or other large suppliers the rates were structured in such a way as to ease the cost to the retail
customers. Buying water was not a good position to be in because costs were driven up over
City Council Minutes Page 2 of 13
November 14,2006
time. Finally was the issue of timing. Tigard just signed a 10-year agreement with Portland, so
it would need to decide whether or not to stay with Portland. Although 10 years may seem like a
long time, it takes a long time to develop capital projects.
Mr. Koellermeier reported that Tigard had completed the population and demand forecast,
evaluated the condition and established needs over time,identified multiple alternatives,
identified the permitting and regulating requirements, developed a draft communication plan, and
discussed potential governance options that would allow multiple public agencies to work
together. If directed, staff would work on finalizing the costs of the improvement options,
complete the financial analysis and rate impacts,refine scenarios, costs, and rates for the final
document level,prepare a report, and reconvene this group for further direction. The schedule
was ambitious, and Mr. Koellermeier anticipated having a draft report by the beginning of the
year and reconvening this group in January or February to discuss the options and receive
guidance.
Commissioner Scheiderich asked if Lake Oswego's 38 mgd right were affected by any other
superior rights or in stream flow reservations.
Mr. Komarek replied in stream water rights varied depending upon the time of the year. Half of
the water permit was certificated but it was in its entirety senior to the in stream water right.
There was also a junior permit to the in stream water right. In terms of Western Water Law, the
Appropriation Doctrine, and first in time, first in right says if the permit was senior to the in
stream water right it took precedence in terms of use. The larger 32 mgd right was senior, and
the smaller 6 mgd right was junior.
Commissioner Scheiderich asked how far the water reached by gravity or if was it pumped.
Mr. Komarek replied all of the water was pumped. To reach Tigard from Lake Oswego the
water would be pumped two times to get to the Bonita Station and then once again to get into the
distribution system.
Commissioner Scheiderich asked the status of the other studies including Hagg Lake and the
feasibility study of the pipeline to supply Tualatin Valley Water and Beaverton from Wilsonville.
Mr. Koellermeier responded all these data points would come together in a relatively short
period of time. In the first few months of 2007 all three of those efforts would at least be in a
draft stage. From Tigard's perspective it would need to make some decisions about staying in all
three options or winnow out of sore.
Commissioner Carroll asked the vulnerability to the federal government's requiring a certain in
stream flow. Would everyone's water rights be reduced?
Mr. Komarek replied the in stream water right was established for the protection of fish and
other beneficial uses. He was not aware that the Water Resource Department(WRD)had any
plans to seek additional in stream rights. The senior permits would take precedence.
Commissioner Carroll understood endangered species protection would trump all water rights.
Mayor Dirksen asked the size of Lake Oswego's service district.
Mr. Komarek responded the City service area was about 33,000 plus an additional 3,000 to
4,000 customers in areas surrounding the City limits.
Mayor Dirksen understood the 16 mgd treated today was in excess of what was needed based on
Tigard's uses which in the summer peaked at about 13 mgd.
Mr. Komarek replied the City was approaching 88%of its treatment capacity. There was one
peak day last summer of 14 mgd.
Councilor Graham asked if Tigard had based it projections on full development of Bull
Mountain.
City Council Minutes Page 3 of 13
November 14, 2006
Mr. Koellermeier replied Bull Mountain was in the planning area and was a separate chapter of
the master plan.
Mr. Knudson was with Carollo Engineering and had been involved with regional water issues
for more than 20 years. They had looked at what it would take in terms of infrastructure, costs,
and governance as outlined in the scope of work. He discussed the water needs both today and
into the future. The key issue was recognition that a decision needed to be made. Lake Oswego
was in a position of either going it alone or potentially forming some kind of agreement. In the
go it alone scenario Lake Oswego would be faced with making some significant improvements to
its existing system. There were some shortcomings with the current system as it was near the
end of its design life in some cases, so there were deficiencies to be corrected. Additionally, the
system was very close to capacity that could potentially compromise operational reliability. In
the case of the joint entity some kind of expansion would be required, so one of the challenges of
this project was how one might go about creating a deal that allowed expansion to occur and
determining the logical degree to which the joint facilities would be expanded to maximize
benefits.
As a first cut, they looked at the service population. It was determined where the entities were in
2005 and where the area would be in 2030 by looking at build out at saturation development. In
most cases saturation was being approached in 2045 taking in just the Lake Oswego retail
customers. Then Stafford and other wholesalers within Lake Oswego's USB were added
excluding Tigard. Right now Lake Oswego was serving 33,000. At build out of both entities the
population would be 146,000.
Councilor Turchi asked if the current zoning was used to estimate build out.
Mr. Knudsen replied it was a saturation of all available land based on the current zoning.
Councilor Turchi understood that if he owned a house in the middle of a subdividable lot that it
would be considered two housing units for the purpose of build out. This assumed that every
piece of property was divided into its smallest buildable unit.
Mr. Knudsen explained there was a range of assumption that went along with that having to do
with the amount of land preserved for open space and things of that nature. Build out was really
a range of numbers, and these figures were what he believed would be the most likely worst case
scenario.
Councilor Turchi noted that Lake Oswego had discussed density at about 1/3 of the actual zone.
He suggested there should be some thought about the need to plan for the actual zone density.
Mr. Knudsen responded the attempt was to offer estimates based on the maximum demand in
the future to ensure supply.
Councilor-elect Buehner asked what kind of relationship the City had with its customers and
could those agreements be terminated.
Mr. Komarek replied the IGAs were for surplus supply. For the most part the entities were on
well supplies and purchased water from Lake Oswego during the summer.
Councilor Groznik stated there were some properties in the City, such as Foothills and
Avamere,that could have a greater population than current zoning. He was not getting worst
case out of this.
Mr. Knudsen understood the concern,but no one could predict the future. The figures reflected
the current situation or what was known and there might be places where density was higher in
the future. They hoped there would be some give and take between the opportunity for
preserving open space that has yet to be designated and that not every acre would be developed
to its maximum capacity. The population projections were translated into water demands. He
looked at what Lake Oswego was currently using and its per capita consumption and did the
same thing for Tigard. That was averaged over the past several years and applied to the
City Council Minutes Page 4 of 13
November 14, 2006
population projections to estimate demand into the future. Numbers were represented down the
last 100,000 mgd. These were projections and forecasts but showed what the overall demands
would be. The numbers to 2030 were based on Metro's population projection, and after that the
build out number was used.
Councilor Turchl asked why Tigard's per capita water consumption was substantially lower
than Lake Oswego's.
Mr. Knudsen thought part of it had to do with density and more multi-family residential. There
was less Greenspace in Tigard, and part of it was likely a lifestyle choice.
Mr. Komarek agreed Tigard had more density and there were lifestyle choices to consider such
as green lawns and open spaces. Water as a commodity seemed cheap.
Mr. Knudsen said it was important to recognize what he said in terms of how the demand
numbers were developed. Recent per capita demand consumption was used in projecting the
future. Those per person consumption rates would be the same into the future, and that may be
an extremely conservative assumption meaning the numbers were likely on the high side in terms
of per capita projections.
Councilor McPeak noted the assumption at build out did not include any change in conservation
efforts. She thought some additional conservation could be assumed but understood this was the
worst case.
Mr. Knudsen replied that was correct. There was a long discussion at the staff level, and the
challenge was that there were a lot of uncertainties beyond just per capita consumption because
of conservation. The other wild card was something like global climate change and how that
would influence the numbers. There was a band of uncertainty with these numbers,but there
needed to be a reference point for planning. Another uncertainty had to do with Lake Oswego
providing service to the Stafford Basin.
Councilor Graham asked if the projections took into account growth in Happy Valley and
Damascus placing additional demands on the Clackamas River.
Mr. Knudsen replied the growth was taken into account in terms of water rights. Lake Oswego
currently had up to 38 mgd of water rights, so that was treated as available capacity to serve
future demands. He had not allocated any demands on these projections for serving those entities
on the east side of the Willamette. They were currently developing these same types of
agreements through the North Clackamas Water Commission that allowed Happy Valley,
Sunrise Water Authority, Gladstone, and Oak Lodge Water to pool their resources and water
rights. He reviewed the four identified scenarios: (1) Lake Oswego does nothing and stays with
the current infrastructure capacity of 16 mgd; (2) Lake Oswego's ultimate build out demand was
projected at 24 mgd including the current wholesalers, so the logical scenario would be that Lake
Oswego planned to meet all of its future demands and build the infrastructure accordingly
without Tigard's being in the picture; (3) Lake Oswego had 32 mgd in senior water rights which
was highly valuable and could be used to serve both Lake Oswego and Tigard in a joint supply
scenario; and(4) was the same except the senior water rights of 32 mgd plus the junior water
right of 6 mgd for a total of 38 mgd.
In the do nothing scenario, Lake Oswego would not have to spend a lot of money up front.
However, a lot of the infrastructure was older than 40 years and rapidly approaching the end of
its design life. Some capital costs would be required to address demand issues. Based on those
projections and the growth curves the capacity of the existing infrastructure would be exceeded
within the next three years. Given that there were high operational risks Lake Oswego could be
in a situation that if pumps went out or if systems failed or the pipe broke the City would not be
able to meet the full capacity for some period of time. That was the worst case scenario,but the
City was near redline. Under this scenario,because the water was consumed by Lake Oswego
City Council Minutes Page 5 of 13
November 14, 2006
and its current wholesale customers, there was essentially no reliable capacity available for
Tigard.
In scenario #2 the system would be expanded to 24 mgd which was the ultimate demand of Lake
Oswego and its wholesale customers. Under that scenario Lake Oswego's needs were met with
some surplus capacity available for Tigard. As Lake Oswego grew, the Tigard capacity would be
reduced,but presumably Tigard could be served with available surplus. Given the additional
capacity and built in redundancy the risk of failure would be lower. The bad news was that it
was a small piece relative to what Tigard's demands were, so Tigard would need some other base
supply upon which to draw. Additionally 14 mgd of the existing water right would be left on the
table and was in jeopardy of being lost through the HB 3038 process or some other
environmental considerations. Given the fact that Tigard was looking at another primary supply,
he assumed Tigard would not be an owner in this scenario. There would be no redundancy other
than Lake Oswego's primary supply on the Clackamas River.
Scenario#3 would capture the full 32 mgd senior water right through a joint Lake
Oswego/Tigard agreement. Now that Tigard would realize a firm supply beyond Lake Oswego's
needs it was assumed Tigard would become an owner or partner in the process. This was
important to the financial modeling that would be discussed next. In the shared ownership
scenario the capital costs for the improvements and the annual operating costs were shared by
both entities and spread over a wider population base. Lake Oswego's demands were met, and
there was a minimum of 8 mgd of firm capacity available for Tigard to meet most of its needs.
He pointed out the Bonita pump station and the Waluga Reservoir where there was a major
interconnect between the two systems that provided some redundancy. In the event that Lake
Oswego lost the Clackamas supply or had diminished capacity for some reason conceivably there
was an opportunity to feed back from the Tigard system into the Lake Oswego system to provide
some backup. That connection existed now at a very limited capacity, and it would have to be
resized for capacity. Theoretically there was redundancy by an existing connection,but it was a
very low capacity and was not configured to operate that way. Under this scenario it would be a
small effort to ensure flow in either direction to meet both communities' needs. There was
redundancy and additional capacity that lowered operational risks. There was still 6 mgd of
junior water rights left on the table. This scenario did not meet all of Tigard's needs into the
future.
Councilor Groznik explained that the water was not being lost; it was going to a different use.
He had some problems with the terminology.
Mr. Knudsen continued with scenario#4 of 38 mgd. This was similar to the previous scenario
and would provide 14 mgd of firm supply to Tigard and meet Lake Oswego's long term demands
of 24 mgd. Tigard would assume an ownership position, and the costs would be shared. The
redundancy improved with the additional capacity between the two systems. All existing water
rights were committed and met all but a very small portion of Tigard's needs. They did not go
beyond that because the water rights did not exist to be able to provide all the water under the
planning scenario to meet both Tigard's and Lake Oswego's ultimate needs.
Councilor-elect Buehner asked if there were any thoughts about the long-term viability of the
water rights.
Mr. Knudsen replied there was some vulnerability as other development occurred in the
Clackamas Basin. A junior water right was conceivably susceptible to curtailment in the future.
Mayor Hammerstad said if every water supplier along the Clackamas River were to use their
senior and junior water rights to their maximum, were their enough water rights to satisfy the in
stream water rights, or would the Water Master step in and curtail that usage by all of the
suppliers? She was curious about the water rights of all the other providers on the Clackamas
and where that put Lake Oswego.
City Council Minutes Page 6 of 13
November 14,2006
Mr. Knudsen responded the basis of the water rights was first in time. Lake Oswego had a more
senior right than others based on the filing date so was protected. The last person with the last
water right would be the first one asked to curtail. The significance of junior and senior was
based on the filing for the in stream right. The priority would be the senior rights, in stream
rights, with the junior rights being the most vulnerable. They had taken a close look at all the
users and the rights along the Clackamas River. Basically, it looked like the River was fully
allocated which meant that between the existing junior rights, in stream rights, and senior rights
there was no additional water left on the Clackamas River. It all depended on what happened in
any given year with the weather, so potentially junior rights could be impacted by the Water
Master's asking for some curtailment.
Mayor Hammerstad was more concerned about growth in Damascus and Happy Valley.
Would they be in a position of using water rights superior to Lake Oswego's and where would
that leave Lake Oswego?
Mr. Komarek replied Lake Oswego's senior water right was fourth in line from the most senior
rights on the River. South Fork Water Board held the most senior rights, and CRW had one
senior to the in stream right but junior to Lake Oswego's. The sum total of South Fork was
about 75 cfs.
Councilor Graham asked with all the concerns and development on the east side if conservation
efforts would be instituted.
Mr. Komarek replied that in order to have access to undeveloped water one had to demonstrate
to WRD that everything to which one had access was being used wisely before further access
was granted. That was part of the Water Management and Conservation Plan requirement. Lake
Oswego had to demonstrate that the 16 mgd was being managed and conserved to the best of the
City's ability before asking for more. The City submitted its extension plan and will provide the
management plan early next year.
Councilor Graham hoped that Lake Oswego users would buy into that program. She asked for
an explanation of Water Master.
Mr. Knudsen said WRD was responsible for management of the state's waters. One of its roles
was to ensure that everyone holding water rights were not taking more than what was allocated
under the permit. The Water Master was responsible for ensuring the law was followed.
Mr. Komarek added that there were District Water Masters who were called upon to adjudicate
the use of water rights under low flow conditions.
Mayor Dirksen heard concerns about new development on the east side that would possibly
curtail of existing water rights. He asked if newer development and the water rights going along
with that would be junior to those already in place. Was it possible that water rights could be
transferred to someone else?
Mr. Knudsen replied generally not. However, some of those entities had senior water rights.
Damascus, Happy Valley, and Sunrise Water Authority did not happen to be any of those
entities. The water rights were still limited to a certain mgd. Just because they were senior did
not mean they could get more. There was really no more water on the Clackamas River.
Councilor Harding asked the unused water rights of the senior holders. What was the capacity
they could tap into?
Mr. Komarek had that data but had not brought it with him. Lake Oswego for example had
more than 50% of its total unused. South Fork Water Board probably had at least 50% of its
authorized use undeveloped.
Councilor-elect Johnson thought the City was working on the assumption that the senior water
rights were secure. How great would the impact need to be to affect Lake Oswego's senior water
right.
City Council Minutes Page 7 of 13
November 14, 2006
Mr. Komarek did not believe that was known at this time. If one looked at it in terms of
permits rather than population, then only so much could be taken from the River. When one
talked about how the Water Master might adjudicate permits on the River, then in a worst case
scenario where everyone was using their permits South Fork would be protected first then Lake
Oswego and on down the line. Those with junior permits would be subject to restrictions
because of in stream rights.
Mr. Prosser heard a lot of interest in getting more information on water rights. There were a
number of technical reports available through the public works departments.
Councilor Groznik asked the ranking of Lake Oswego's junior water right.
Mr. Komarek said the priority date was 1973, and there were a few permit holders on the river
with permits senior to that.
Mr. Koellermeier commented this was an interesting issue, and some of the other entities on the
Clackamas River were actually investing millions of dollars developing their junior rights. They
were betting that by having the infrastructure in place they would be better off when the day
came that there was not enough water for everyone.
Councilor Groznik asked if the sum of the senior water rights and perhaps duty rights equaled
the present flow of the Clackamas River.
Mr. Komarek explained right now total municipal permits on the river totaled between 290 and
300 cfs. About 210 cfs of those permits were senior to the in stream right. Last summer the
municipal permit holders used a total of about 110 cfs on a peak day. If one looked at last year
as an example, one would not say the Clackamas River was over allocated. There was enough
water to support the in stream right plus the municipal diversions. That could vary with the year.
On average the River flow was from 750 cfs to 1,000 cfs. The in stream right went from 400 cfs
part of the year to 640 cfs between September 15 and July 1. Even if more water rights were
allocated they would be potentially worthless except during very high flows.
Mr. Worth said early in the project a cross section of policy makers was interviewed to
determine what information was needed and to identity shared values and principles. In general
the policy makers were interested, open-minded, and hopeful that some solution might be found.
Cost was one of the main issues. Everyone was willing to look at the proposal because it was
evident what motivated the other jurisdictions. They also heard questions about the timing of
public involvement. The results of the stakeholder interviews were fashioned into values and
principles that captured the collective guidance. Mr. Worth reviewed the statements. Secure
Lake Oswego's and Tigard's water future ensuring both communities can meet their long-term
growth needs. Demonstrate cost savings and favorable rates when compared with other supply
options. Retain or obtain ownership interest in long-term drinking water resources. Retain and
perfect Lake Oswego's full Clackamas River water rights. Design the Lake Oswego/Tigard
partnership to offer parity, fairness,balance. Develop redundant water resources for backup and
emergencies. Promote equitable distribution of natural resources throughout the region.
Communicate openly with policy makers and the public education them on the communities'
current water sources, water system assets including water rights, future infrastructure needs, and
various supply options. Nurture cooperation among Lake Oswego,Tigard, and surrounding
communities that is beneficial to drinking water and other public services. Expand Lake
Oswego's and Tigard's leadership in regional water supply decision making.
Councilor-elect Buehner asked what kind of control West Linn had in terms of expanding the
water treatment plant.
Mr. Komarek replied some improvements were made to the plant about five years ago, and
Lake Oswego had to go through a condition use process. It was in a neighborhood,but the
zoning would allow for an expansion of the plant facility subject to conditional use approval.
City Council Minutes Page 8 of 13
November 14, 2006
Commissioner Scheiderich asked if Lake Oswego had considered other supply options, and the
response was that Lake Oswego was concentrating on its rights on the Clackamas River.
Commissioner Carroll asked if Lake Oswego had ever considered relocating its treatment plant.
Mr. Komarek replied Lake Oswego was asked that question during the last process with West
Linn, and there were some people interested in having the plant go away. No suitable relocation
site had been identified because it was tied to the intake site.
Mr. Knudsen said that was one of the first questions he had asked since it seemed like a viable
concept. Staff took a cursory look and confirmed there was not really another good place. Part
of the expansion envisioned to accommodate those demands could be done on the current plant
site and in the current footprint to minimize the community impact.
Councilor Groznik asked if a conditional use permit were needed if the improvements could be
done in the existing footprint.
Mr. Komarek replied there would be new faculties on site. Lake Oswego owned a little over six
acres, so it looked at least preliminarily that the plant could be expanded to meet the ultimate
treatment capacity of the City's total rights.
Councilor Graham thought the values and principles glaringly did not include conservation.
Councilor Wilson heard two engineers loosely refer to ownership. He understood the water
rights could not be sold,but for Tigard the ownership question was a very high priority. Tigard
had at least four options for water, so the degree of security in that ownership factored very high.
Mr. Koellermeier responded he had not wanted to get hung up on the term `ownership' because
there were different ways to get there. From Tigard's perspective ownership had to do with long-
term security and the ability to use SDCs. That would be addressed during the governance
discussion.
Commissioner Carroll suggested that `equity partner' might be a better term.
Councilor Harding said that while the values and principles were all good,the usage charts
showed that Tigard would not get its total use out of the Clackamas River venture. She found the
breakdown confusing and the charts unclear, partly because Tigard did not have a lot of buildable
land. All of Tigard's needs would not be met by one source.
Mr. Knudsen addressed preliminary results from the technical analysis. Key system
components were the Clackamas River intake, the raw water pipeline,the treatment plant,
finished water pipeline, Waluga Reservoir, and the Bonita pump station. The pump stations
associated with the raw water intake and treatment plant needed to be upgraded. A pump station
would also be needed to get the water into the Tigard system. These would not be new pump
stations,but they could significantly add to the capacity of the existing pump station. He
outlined the intake component needs based on the four scenarios. At the intake in the 16 mgd
scenario #1 some upgrading was required to the physical structure and pump capacity increased.
Overall the structure could accommodate it, and the screen area was large enough to make this
work. In the 24 mgd scenario#2 the pumps would need to be increased, and the pump station
would have to be modified. At 32 mgd it became cheaper to build a new intake than to try to
rehabilitate and modify the existing intake to handle the capacity. Similarly at 38 mgd a new
intake on the Clackamas would be required.
He addressed the 27-inch diameter raw water pipeline that was currently sized to handle 16 mgd.
It could carry more water with additional pressure but at the expense of using more energy. In
the long-term investment it was better to replace the pipeline. At 24 mgd it would need to be
replaced with 36-inch diameter pipe and 42-inch pipe for 32 mgd and 38 mgd. In all of these
cases he assumed the new pipe would take all the capacity of the scenario, and the existing pipe
could be used as a back up.
City Council Minutes Page 9 of 13
November 14, 2006
At 16 mgd the treatment plant was at capacity;however, there were some shortcomings with the
plant. The discharge pumps needed to be upgraded to increase the pumping capacity and
reliability of the pump station. The surge suppression tank needed to be replaced at a large
capital cost in any scenario. Scenarios 2 through 4 generally involved expanding the plant within
the current plant site. He concluded that conventional treatment made the most sense and was
the most cost effective long-term solution. It was possible to get the expanded plant up to 38
mgd on the current six-acre plant site with a fairly compact layout.
The finish water pipe was currently capable of handling the 16 mgd, so no significant
improvements would be required. A lot of the pipe was in good shape and had the capacity to
handle the 24 mgd. There were segments that would need to be paralleled to provide additional
capacity. As the mgd increased there would need to be additional, larger parallel pipes.
Mr. Knudsen addressed the storage facility. Depending upon other storage in the system one
might be able to avoid adding more storage at Waluga. In the 32 and 38 mgd scenarios there
were high flows going to Tigard, so a lot of water was going through this site to the pump
station. A wide spot in the pipe was needed to change the flow rate and run the treatment plant at
a fairly constant rate and provide operational flexibility.
Finally, the Bonita Road pump station under the 16 and 24 mgd scenarios would work because
there was relatively limited capacity going to Tigard. There might be some minor upgrades at
limited capital cost as compared to the 32 and 38 mgd scenarios. In those cases it would be
necessary to replace the pump station likely at its current site because of the hydraulics and
physical layout.
Mr. Knudsen summarized. Each component was run through the different supply scenarios. At
24 mgd to meet Lake Oswego's ultimate demand there were significant system improvements
required. Those were essentially the same system improvements required to be able to expand to
serve Tigard. Going back to the demand projection graphs and given the limitations, one saw at
16 mgd Lake Oswego would go over the line in about 2009, and at the end of the line was the
basis for the 24 mgd scenario. To serve Tigard with a system capacity of 32 mgd, the line was
crossed about 2020. Under the 38 mgd scenario the line would be crossed in about 2035. The
construction time table for the 32 and 38 mgd scenarios would be more than three but less than
five years including design.
Mayor Hammerstad asked Mr. Knudsen if he had looked at the capacity of other intakes such
as South Fork which was less than 10 years old. Did they have excess capacity?
Mr. Knudsen said there was additional capacity available at that intake, but the challenge would
be to get it down and across the River. By the time Lake Oswego bought into a share of the
capacity,upgraded the facility to increase available capacity, and built the raw water pipeline to
connect to the existing system the cost would be about the same as building a new intake.
Mayor Hammerstad challenged that Lake Oswego's intake was within a mile of the mouth of
the Clackamas River and downstream from the other intakes and perhaps a wastewater treatment
plant. If Lake Oswego did go in with another intake farther up the River,there might be less
treatment. She would like to know the relationship of cost under the scenarios of building a new
intake versus building the transmission pipes.
Mr. Knudsen would provide information. From an environmental standpoint there was value in
being at the lower end because the water stayed in the River a longer period of time. However,
water taken out above was not available downstream. From an environmental and permitting
standpoint,the state liked it when water was taken out further downstream even though one was
more vulnerable. The next step would be to address the costs of the various scenarios and what
that meant in terms of the aggregate alternatives particularly for Tigard as compared to other
alternatives. Once those were determined the numbers would be crunched into what that meant
in terms of rates. Some assumptions would be made as to how Lake Oswego would be
compensated for existing infrastructure and how costs were shared. These assumptions would be
City Council Minutes Page 10 of 13
November 14, 2006
a starting point for discussions. He would prepare a draft report to share with staff and the policy
makers for direction.
Councilor Wilson said in looking at the graphs from Lake Oswego's eyes going alone with 24
mgd the City would be good for 40 years. Almost was much money would be spent as scenario
#3,but it could be amortized over 40 years. The green option was obsolete almost the day it
opened. He asked if the projections were accurate. He suggested researching the relationship
between lot size and per capita consumption. The per capita projection might actually go down.
Councilor-elect Jordan asked how Stafford build out was considered as one of Lake Oswego's
wholesalers.
Mr. Knudsen replied it was essentially treated the same as the rest of the service area based on
zoning which resulted in a population of 7,000.
Councilor-elect Jordan asked if the City currently owned property next to the Waluga
Reservoir.
Mr. Knudsen replied that it did.
A participant asked when water rights might conceivably be lost.
Mr. Komarek responded there was no answer at this time. He did not know of a case in which a
municipal water provider relinquished its rights or had been challenged by a third party.
Commissioner Carroll thought the intent of the legislature was to move people in this direction.
There were areas like Tigard that did not have adequate water supplies, and they were trying to
push the `haves' together with the `have nots.'
Councilor Groznik did not see public participation mentioned in the next steps and did not
understand how a policy decision could be formulated by February.
Mr. Worth replied public participation was an open question. Everyone mentioned public
education because of the project's complexity. One of the leading questions was when that
process should begin. One view was that it should wait until there was actually something to tell
the public. Another was that the public education piece should start right away because it was so
complicated. One question was how the policy makers felt about those view, and another was
where the priority should be. He provided a draft public outreach strategy that tried to harness
the suggestions gathered during the interview process.
Councilor Groznik thought the process should have already started because there were groups
in Lake Oswego who were already concerned. The public was already talking about a number of
major infrastructure improvements.
Councilor-elect Buehner was concerned about going public before there was much information.
Councilor-elect Jordan said one of the biggest concerns was that this was an infrastructure
problem for Lake Oswego and Tigard that existed no matter how it was solved. The public
needed to know the problem existed, and it needed to be kept out in the open.
Councilor McPeak commented that the Lake Oswego Council was just coming up to speed.
After the next work shop they might be able to narrow down the options into workable sets of
ideas to handle public discussion more productively.
Mayor Dirksen said in the corporate world when one went to the boss with a problem one
should have a solution. When the public was showed this problem there needed to be some
answers.
Councilor Groznik did not see that as public involvement but rather as public dictation.
Councilor Turchi liked to have time to appreciate the complexity of problems, and he did not
feel had had sufficient time to consider this issue. He was surprised about where Lake Oswego
City Council Minutes Page 11 of 13
November 14, 2006
i
was in terms of its own capacity and infrastructure needs and felt he needed a greater
understanding. This information needed to be available to the public. The values and principles
looked good,but he had not had the time to really think about them or consider their
ramifications. He did not want to be pushed to a decision too soon and wanted the public to have
a chance to catch up with the Council.
Mr.Worth heard embedded in those comments the need to talk with fellow Councilors and
discuss Lake Oswego's and Tigard's problems.
Mayor Hammerstad observed this was an example of starting with the recognition of a problem
and working toward a solution. She had been involved in numerous activities in which problems
were identified. People will say they did not know about the problem and ask why they were not
included,but this was just the beginning. There were possibilities and limitations, and she
thought if a public involvement process were started with the existing information that people
would make up their own answers which would be the worst case scenario. Until there was more
information about options and costs and responsibilities she did not think the entities were ready
for public involvement. This was recognition of Lake Oswego's need to protect and perfect its
water rights. Was there a way to do that and solve two entities' challenges? She did not believe
there was enough information right now to take out to the public.
Councilor Groznik thought the public should be asked if conservation was on the table. That
issue had not been addressed. The problem was being attacked with the solution of developing
more water rights.
Mayor Hammerstad replied Lake Oswego was working on its Water Management
Conservation Plan that would identify conservation measures.
Councilor Groznik had not seen anything about that, and the citizens have not been asked. He
felt the City would be making a dramatic mistake if it did not involve the public now with what it
had, and let them own the decision.
Councilor McPeak thought Councilor Groznik had some interesting points. However, it
seemed as if more issues were being added to an already complex problem. She was concerned
if other issues were added,the Council would get nowhere.
Commissioner Winn commented as in many things there was too much information. He looked
for a simple summary of key points to address which to him was the protection of water rights.
Tigard was interested in being part of Lake Oswego's efforts in a mutual way so that Tigard
could have water,have some ownership, and help Lake Oswego get its capacity up. He
recommended a succinct presentation to the citizens.
Councilor Woodruff appreciated the opportunity to meet. This issue was probably more on
Tigard's radar screen because Lake Oswego did not have to worry a lot about its water source.
Lake Oswego had an issue with its infrastructure. This partnership may work if Tigard can get
source and Lake Oswego can get help funding infrastructure improvements. In that case
constituent needs were met in both cities. It had to be a solution for both sides so the public
could see it as a creative possibility that helped everyone. There would be some sticker shock
when people found out how the costs, and they will ask elected officials what they had done to
ameliorate the costs. There was an opportunity to do something that was very useful,but a lot of
work needed to be done by both Councils.
The group commented that this workshop was helpful and recognized that additional work
needed to be done in each of the jurisdictions.
Mayor Hammerstad thanked all parties for their perseverance and felt this was the beginning of
a relationship between the entities that she hoped would result in good decisions for the
constituents. The consultants and engineers presented this complex problem in a way that was
understandable and encouraged future discussions. It was an opportunity to set an example for
cooperative sharing of a limited resource.
City Council Minutes Page 12 of 13
November 14, 2006
Mayor Dirksen felt this problem was being addressed in a timely manner so action could be
taken before 90% capacity was reached. It was clear this was only a first step and that the policy
makers would need to have many more discussions. Some questions were answered while others
were raised. It was clear to him another round table such as this was needed in the near future,
and offered Tigard as the venue.

MEMORANDUM
TIGARD
TO: Intergovernmental Water Board
FROM: Amanda L. Bewersdorff, Accounting Supervisor
RE: Royal Mobile Villa Utility Account
DATE: January 30, 2007
The attached credit for leak request is being forwarded to you for your approval at the next
scheduled meeting on February 14,2007. The method used in calculating the amount of the credit
is based on existing policy and there are no extenuating circumstances to this particular request. As
noted in the request, a leak was discovered under one of the residents home and driveway located in
the mobile home park. Based on the consumption history it is apparent that the leak started after
the July 3, 2006 billing. The leak was repaired on November 13,2006. The read taken on January 4,
2007 clearly indicates that the problem at the site has been taken care of. The credit in the amount
of$3,980.08 was calculated for the billing period of September 1,2006 to November 3,2006 and
requires your Board approval before processing.
If you have any questions regarding this item,please feel free to call me directly at 503-718-2497. I
will be out of the country during the next scheduled meeting so Roger Dawes,Financial Operation
Manager,will be attending the scheduled meeting to answer any question you might have.
Attached is a history of meter consumption,all documentation of the leak being repaired submitted
by the customer,and a copy of the letter sent via certified mail to the customer stating of the date,
time,and location of the next Intergovernmental Water Board meeting so they may attend if they so
desire.

Dear Park Manager: %4
We have received and processed your request for adjustment due to a water leak. Once we
reviewed the water meter consumption history it was determined the credit amount was
greater than the amount that city staff can issue per Tigard Municipal Code(TMC)12.03.060.
It has been scheduled for your request for adjustment to be presented to the
Intergovernmental Water Board on Wednesday,February 14,2007 at 5:30 pm. This meeting
will be held in the Tigard Library located at 13500 SW Hall Blvd.,To floor conference
room You are welcome to attend this meeting and may be allowed to make a presentation,
if yvu so choose, to the Board at the discretion of the Board Chairman.
