INTERGOVERNMENTAL WATER BOARD AGENDA—MARCH 10, 2010 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 2 oft Intergovernmental Water Board (IWB) Meeting Minutes March 10, 2010 Tigard Public Works Building 8777 SW Burnham Street Tigard, OR 97223 Members Present: Gretchen Buehner Representing the City of Tigard Patrick Carroll Representing the City of Durham Ken Henschel Representing the Tigard Water District Dick Winn Representing the City of King City Bill Scheiderich Departing Member At-Large Mike Stone Member At-Large Members Absent: None Staff Present: Public Works Director Dennis Koellermeier Utility Division Manager John Goodrich IWB Recorder Kathy Mollusky 1. Call to Order, Roll Call and Introductions Commissioner Carroll called the meeting to order at 5:33 p.m. Commissioner Henschel arrived at 5:41. Mr. Goodrich arrived at 5:45. 2. Approval of Minutes — February 17, 2010 Commissioner Buehner motioned to approve the February 17, 2010 minutes; Commissioner Winn seconded the motion. The minutes were approved by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with Commissioners Buehner, Carroll, Scheiderich, Stone and Winn voting yes. Commissioner Henschel was absent for the vote. 3. Public Comments: None 4. Credit for Leak Adjustment Commissioner Buehner motioned to approve the credit for Lloyd Gilbertson. Commissioner Carroll seconded the motion. The credit for the water leak was approved by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with Commissioners Buehner, Carroll, Scheiderich, Stone and Winn voting yes. Commissioner Henschel was absent for the vote. Due to Mr. Goodrich's attendance at the Lake Oswego meeting prior to the IWB meeting, and Commissioner Scheiderich's having to leave early to attend another meeting, the Board skipped to Item 8. Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes March 10,2010 1 5. Proposed City of Tigard Water CIP Fund Budget The budget is not completed. 6. Water Supply Update • Mr. Goodrich reported that water demand is currently 4.5 million gallons per day (mgd). The City of Tigard (COT) is still injecting into Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) 1. This will be completed by May 1. ASR 2 has reached the goal of 160 million gallons of water. • Commissioner Carroll asked what the water storage outlook is for Bull Run Reservoir based on the recent lack of snow pack. Portland Water Bureau does not know what it is going to be like this year and wants the question asked again in August. The current snow pack is a lot less than the two previous year's snow pack. 7. Select New Vice-Chair Former Vice-Chair Commissioner Winn becomes the new Chair. Commissioner Carroll asked for nominations for the new vice-chair. Commissioner Winn nominated Commissioner Buehner. Commissioner Carroll seconded. The nomination was approved by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with Commissioners Carroll, Henschel, Scheiderich, Stone and Winn voting yes. Commissioner Buehner abstained. 8. Process of How to Amend/Transfer Groundwater Registration Modification • Commissioner Scheiderich stated, and Mr. Goodrich supports, that every Member should have its name on the water agreement since everyone has a stake. The ASRs are not an issue. • Mr. Koellermeier acknowledges that more work needs to be done on the groundwater issue. Groundwater rights are straight forward, associated with physical system assets. • Commissioner Henschel stated TWD's legal council had questions. Mr. Goodrich answered some of the questions at TWD's meeting. The TWD is waiting for more information from Mr. Goodrich and TWD's legal. • Commissioner Henschel wants to verify the document in front of the TWD is in conjunction with state laws and regulations. For instance, there was a memo that listed three diversion points and the state had four listed. The TWD is doing due diligence and requests this be postponed until next meeting. • The State of Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) gave Mr. Goodrich until March 25 to get this completed, he will ask for an extension. Mr. Goodrich is having Groundwater Solutions and TWD's attorney meet to answer any additional questions and work out any outstanding issues. The Board skipped to Item 11. 9. Informational Items a. Update from Commissioner Buehner on Lake Oswego/City of Tigard Oversight Committee activities • Commissioner Buehner reported Jane Heisler set up a tour of the facilities. Commissioner Buehner has asked for a second tour date. • The meetings will have experts discussing technical requirements regarding what treatment options are available. Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes March 10,2010 2 • Commissioner Buehner met with the group running the outreach program to talk about what happened with the Willamette project. This will help to avoid the communication issues that occurred with the Willamette project. b. The Lake-Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership Video was shown c. Tigard Water District Board Voting Requirements • This item was not addressed during the meeting. d. Tigard Water District Answer to Signing Groundwater Registration Modification • This item was discussed previously under Item 8. e. Update from Commissioner Winn on West Bull Mountain Technical Advisory Committee Activities Commissioner Winn reported: • It would cost Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD) $25 million to serve Areas 63 and 64; it would cost COT $8 million. These areas could get water from the east (Tigard) or the south (King City). COT is capable and ready. The decision will be made by Washington County. • Commissioner Henschel stated that COT is not contiguous. TWD could annex the area. There are two entities contiguous, TVWD and TWD. • Commissioner Buehner stated the part in Area 63 that was not brought to the urban growth area last time is now part of the urban reserve area. • TWD is working on annexing a property on 131St that COT asked TWD to annex. f. Commissioner Henschel Reported on the Citizen Sounding Board • This is a good grouping or citizens, a variety of expertise from different areas. Some have experience with water, some are engineers, some are just citizens, a little of everything. They are pulling out issues that concern the community, some controversial points and other things they want to mitigate. 10. Non-Agenda Items • Commissioner Henschel would like to see steps taken by COT, in order, regarding the list of items that were supposed to be completed. In 1994, COT was asked to make changes to water rights, deeds, etc. The IWB needs COT staff to commit to doing the list. COT was directed to do everything in the City limits - all these buildings, Canterbury, etc., except the ones with any issues. Mr. Goodrich's understanding is that as things developed, money would be spent to change deeds. The IWB wants COT to compile the list of items do. The list includes an inventory of all water assets and property. Mr. Goodrich said he would do a complete inventory of all properties and bring the list back to the Board. Commission Buehner will help with this item. 11. Discussion of Draft 1993 Intergovernmental Agreements between Durham and the City of Tigard, King City and the City of Tigard, and the Tigard Water District and the City of Tigard - Commissioner Scheiderich • Page 9 Section 14 - Execution and Effective date is still to be decided. Is the effective date when signed by Tigard or when all Parties sign? If a Party chooses not to sign, is the old agreement in effect for them and the new one for everyone else? • Page 2 Section 1A - System assets are further defined as revenues belonging to all Parties no matter where the asset is located. Commissioner Winn wants revenue rather Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes March 10,2010 3 than revenues. For example, it is not appropriate to operating revenue, maintenance, profit, contracts, etc. Tigard staff will review; the Agreement could be more specific. The term system assets, ASR wells, pumps, etc. are included in subsection (i) revenues generated from sale of the Parties domestic water supply to any person wherever located. This could include wholesale contracts to sell in an emergency to Lake Oswego, Portland, Tualatin, or Beaverton. Mr. Koellermeier will have legal review and offer proposed language for revenues and contracts. It could be modified to say net revenue from sale of property is pledged to go back into the system. • Commissioner Carroll feels the only issue hanging out is system assets that are in and out of the service area. System assets to Commissioner Carroll are anything that has to do with providing water wherever located. All the Members are pledging system assets to the Tigard Water Service Area. Items become Tigard system assets when those assets are paid off or bonds are issued. The Board will let the attorneys come up with the proper language. • Page 5 Section 7A— System assets are all assets within the Parties' service area or where located. This is still undecided. Parties own an equitable, undivided common share as calculated by meter equivalency and other calculation methods of assets that are located within the Parties' combined service area or wherever located. • Page 6 Section 7F —Percentage of annual revenue is not agreed upon. • Page 7 Section 8A - If any Party terminates or withdraws, assets shall be divided using procedures set out in Oregon Statue ORS 222.540 or as renumbered. • Page 9 Section 14 —The Agreement may be executed in multiple signature pages. • Commissioner Winn wants COT and TWD to complete the review of the new IGA before the other cities. Commissioner Henschel feels the Parties are ready to send to entities to work out issues. At some point, the Board will have to agree on the remaining issues. Mr. Koellermeier feels other issues may come up besides the last two the Parties have here. COT will attach exhibits and forward to legal counsel. At 6:06, the meeting was adjourned for a short recess. Commissioner Scheiderich had to leave to attend another meeting. At 6:26, the meeting reconvened. Commissioner Henschel requested the Board go back to page one to complete what language to relay to Commissioner Scheiderich for the final IGA. Page 1 — Ignore the when date. Commissioner Stone has language ODOT puts in their contracts regarding this issue. He will send it to Mr. Koellermeier to insert. Recitals Section A - System assets as further defined herein stays — Parties agree. Page 2 Section 1A —The whole section in italics needs to be returned to Commissioner Scheiderich and Mr. Koellermeier as to what our intention is and they will work out legal. The version that comes back to the Board will have the changes. Commissioner Winn wants the words all revenues and all contracts fixed, needs clarification. Page 2 Section 1A, iii — How are all interests going to be parsed out between surface, in stream or groundwater rights? Will this affect the Willamette rights that are currently in COT's name? Water rights are a system asset if the language is not changed, then Tigard water rights on the Willamette would be considered a system asset. Mr. Goodrich stated one requirement COT had to give up was an application for water rights for 40 cfs. The language needs to be simplified or resolved. Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes March 10,2010 4 Page 5 Section 7A—correct the language to "wherever located". Wherever located is the key issue. Page 7 Section F —TWD wants 3%, currently at 1%. The IWB can support 2%. Have Commissioner Scheiderich put in 2%. Page 7 Section 8A—Commissioner Scheiderich will add "or its successor statute" after ORS 222.540. The italic section, as amended, is good. Page 9 Section 14 — is fine as amended. The Board returned to Item 5. 11. Future Agenda Items ■ The Water Rate Study will not be done next month. 12. Next Meeting: ■ April 14, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. Tigard Public Works Auditorium, 8777 SW Burnham Street, Tigard, Oregon 13. Adjournment At 7:17 p.m., Commissioner Buehner motioned to adjourn the meeting; Commissioner Henschel seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with Commissioners Buehner, Carroll, Henschel, Stone and Winn voting yes.

Call to Order, Roll Call and Introductions Commissioner Carroll called the meeting to order at 5:34 p.m. 2. Approval of Minutes —January 13, 2010 Commissioner Buehner motioned to approve the January 13, 2010 minutes; Commissioner Winn seconded the motion. The minutes were approved by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with Commissioners Buehner, Carroll, Henschel, Scheiderich and Winn voting yes. 3. Public Comments: None 4. Elect the Member At-Large Position Commissioner Carroll asked for nominations for the member at-large position. Commissioner Winn nominated Michael Stone. Commissioner Carroll seconded. The nomination was approved by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with Commissioners Buehner, Carroll, Henschel, Scheiderich and Winn voting yes. Commissioner Henschel requested staff send a letter to all the applicants thanking them for their interest. 5. Credit for Leak Adjustment Mr. Goodrich explained the credit for leak adjustment requests for Autumn Hill Homeowners Association and Gretchen Downey. Commissioner Carroll asked if there were any objections. Hearing none, Commissioner Carroll moved to approve both credits for leak adjustment. The credits for the water leaks Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes February 17,2010 1 were approved by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with Commissioners Buehner, Carroll, Henschel, Scheiderich and Winn voting yes. 6. Water Supply Update • Mr. Goodrich reported that water demand is currently 4.3 million gallons per day (mgd). We have injected 21 million gallons of water into Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) 1. This is about 20% to the goal of 100 million gallons of water; we have until May to reach the goal. ASR 2 has reached the goal of 160 million gallons of water. • Commissioner Carroll inquired if it was possible to fill both ASR wells at the same time and if it would cost more. Both ASR wells can be injected at the same time and the cost is the same. 7. Permit Amendment for Groundwater Registration • Mr. Goodrich supplied groundwater modification information at the last meeting. The IWB Board wanted more information, for instance, if the modifications could be done under a joint tenancy agreement. The Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) needs an affidavit of consent from TWD, the name holder. OWRD provided a new application sheet for all four signatures. Mr. Goodrich provided a copy of the actual modification of the ground water modification for anyone who wanted to view it. • The City is asking for a widening of the diversion points, of where water can be drawn out of the ground. These water rights will have to be adjudicated in the future. Currently, OWRD is treating them as unpermitted water rights. • Mr. Goodrich met with the TWD, February 9, to provide them with information regarding these water rights and to answer any questions. • Mr. Goodrich has the permit amendment application for signatures. The IWB Board needs to decide if they are comfortable signing or if they have to bring to each individual council. TWD is not comfortable signing without their attorney's approval. • Commissioner Carroll inquired as to how we are able to withdraw water from the ground if we have no water rights. Mr. Koellermeier explained the process. First, the hole is dug, then you have to run the well and show beneficial use - what areas it will serve, then the state issues water rights. Tigard is in a critical groundwater zone area. At this time, no one else can apply for water rights in our area. Municipal water rights are different, as they do not go with property. Groundwater registrations are different because they were issued before the permit and certificate process was law. • The Lake Oswego water rights stay in Lake Oswego's name. They commit so much water to Tigard. Tigard is in the area of beneficial use. • Mr. Koellermeier clarified that the intent of the IWB is that groundwater rights are viewed as system assets in the IGA. We still have to do work to modify with OWRD. The reassignment will be done in joint tenancy. 8. Informational Items a. Update from Commissioner Buehner on Lake Oswego/City of Tigard Oversight Committee activities. • Commissioner Buehner requested that the FY 10-11 budget be submitted soon so it could be available for the committee budget meetings. Tigard's goal is to bring the City water budget, which will include Lake Oswego cost, to the IWB in March. • The committee received a presentation on the public information outreach program. Part of the program is a video on the website. • The Lake Oswego/Tigard oversight committee is working to set up a citizen group. One or two citizens, in addition to one or two members of the IWB, should be our committee. Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes February 17,2010 2 • Commissioner Buehner met with the group running the outreach program to talk about what happened with the Willamette project. This could help with planning for the outreach program. b. Tigard Water District Board Voting Requirements • This item was not addressed during the meeting. 9. Non-Agenda Items • The IWB was invited to the Clackamas River Consortium meeting March 3. It is an update on the watershed and how it is being managed on the Clackamas River. • Mr. Koellermeier recommends we find two citizens who are not knowledgeable about water business and a couple of IWB members. The goal is that we send four members to the sounding board to help validate the treatment option process. The IWB Board should appoint two members. The Board recommended Commissioner Henschel and Commissioner Stone. • Commissioner Winn reported on the West Bull Mountain Technical Advisory Committee meeting. It would cost Tualatin Valley $25 million to serve Areas 63 and 66; it would cost Tigard $8 million. Washington County is spending a lot of money on planning. They are going to make it an ordinance so it has weight. Metro council, no matter what the county does, must approve the plan. There are two issues - transportation and water issues. Tigard has planned for the area, except for the urban reserve piece. 10. Discussion of Draft 1993 Intergovernmental Agreements between Durham and the City of Tigard, King City and the City of Tigard, and the Tigard Water District and the City of Tigard — Commissioner Scheiderich • Page 1, Section 1A— Commissioner Scheiderich will put system assets definition in agreement. • Page 2, Section 1 C - System revenues are to be disbursed annually. • Page 3, Section 3 - A Party notified that a position is vacant because someone is not showing up shall promptly appoint a replacement. • Page 5, Section 7A—This is proposed language. The Parties have equitable shares. Tigard shall issue bonds in its name and will let the issuer know the other members have ownership shares. • Page 6, Section 7D - If anything is sold, Tigard will keep the revenue in the Water Capital Improvement Fund, not the general fund. Commissioner Scheiderich will remove the word "trust" for clarification. • Page 6, Section 7F— Each party shall be entitled to dispose of its percentage of annual revenue collected from customers within that Party's boundary. Commissioner Henschel would like "by written direction" (third line) deleted. • Page 6, Section 7G —Added whether or not the meeting is related to the water system, the IWB members may use the meeting space. • Page 7, Section 8A— Commissioner Scheiderich added a note to add provisions for assumption of debt. This relates to what happens when a city withdraws territory from the district and the district has debt. The area withdrawn must pay the debt either up front or over so many years. • Page 7, Section 8B—This makes an exception for 7F. All revenue generated is pledged for use for the water system except the percentage mentioned in 7F. • Page 7, Section 8D — Mr. Koellermeier will get the date of the lease to Commissioner Scheiderich to put in the IGA. Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes February 17,2010 3 • Page 8, Section 10 — If there are any changes in the service area, the Parties agree in good faith to execute any documents. • Page 9,Section 14 - Multiple counterparts mean we can have separate signature pages. The effective date will be when Tigard signs or when everyone signs. Commissioner Scheiderich will put as an issue. • Next month will be Commissioner Carroll's last IWB meeting. The new appointee will begin in May. Commissioner Scheiderich will remain as Durham city attorney, so he will not be out of the picture. • Commissioner Winn asked the City of Tigard to run the IGA through their legal before the other cities. After the City of Tigard completes their review, then the TWD needs to run it by their legal. After TWD finishes, the rest of the IWB members will discuss the issues. Issues Remaining: • Lake Oswego system assets - Commissioner Carroll wants it stated that what we are building is a system asset and everyone has a share. Look at both agreements and define as system asset wherever located. Commissioner Scheiderich could define in the agreement that if purchases are made with water system revenue, it is a system asset and all IWB members have a percentage ownership in it wherever located. • Page 6, Section 7F— Commissioner Henschel wants the percentage changed. • Page 9, Section 14 - Commissioner Scheiderich — is the effective date when signed by Tigard or when everyone signs? 11. Future Agenda Items • The Water Rate Study will not be done next month. 12. Next Meeting: ■ March 10, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. Tigard Public Works Building, 8777 SW Burnham Street, Tigard, Oregon 13. Adjournment At 7:05 p.m., Commissioner Winn motioned to adjourn the meeting; Commissioner Buehner seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with Commissioners Buehner, Carroll, Henschel, Scheiderich and Winn voting yes.

This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of those individual agreements entered between Tigard and each of the other two other cities and the District in or about 1993 This Agreement shall be effective as between Tigard and each other Party as of the date that Tigard and that other Party have executed this Agreement by signatures of their authorized representatives. RECITALS: A. The three cities withdrew the areas included within their boundaries from the political boundary of the District effective July 1, 1993. In consideration of their separate contracts with Tigard for the operation and maintenance of a water supply to serve all four Parties, Tigard granted to Durham, King City and the Tigard Water District (all Parties other than Tigard being the "Served Parties") an equitable interest in those assets (described as "system assets" in those contracts) located within the combined service area. Water supply, storage and distribution facilities ("system assets", as further defined herein) were not divided between the cities and the District as provided for by ORS 222.540 and instead, all such assets wherever located were pledged to the use of the City of Tigard for the operation and maintenance of a single water supply, storage and distribution system to serve all four Parties. All Parties now desire to clarify the method to determine the value of those assets and the Parties' equitable ownership interest in same and to establish the methods for valuation of both real and personal property. B. The Parties intend that Tigard continue to provide and manage a water supply system serving all Parties for the duration of this Agreement including use of assets and facilities not within the combined service area that are owned by Tigard and other entities that are not parties to this Agreement. C. The Parties desire to clarify the role of the Intergovernmental Water Board ("IWB") as to those matters where its actions are advisory to Tigard or are binding on Tigard. In consideration of those premises as generally recited the Parties now AGREE: 1. Purpose and Scope. Tigard Water Supply Agreement 5th Draft 03/10/2010 Page 1 1A. Tigard shall continue to furnish and maintain a domestic water supply, storage and distribution system serving all Parties to this Agreement. All Parties pledge the use and benefit of all assets of that system, wherever located whether inside or outside the Parties combined service area, as they now exist and hereafter are constructed or accrue, for the duration of this Agreement as to each Party served. Each Party's equitable interest in any and all system assets located within the combined service area shall be deemed held as an undivided common interest until the Party terminates this Agreement or until the Agreement is dissolved. The term "system assets"as used in this Agreement includes, but is not limited to: i) all interests in real property, all improvements on that property and all other personal property and facilities wherever located that is used by any Party for the supply, treatment, storage, transmission or distribution of potable water to that Party or to any other Party; and, ii) all revenues generated from the sale of any portion of the Parties' domestic water supply to any person wherever located, including connection and systems development charges; and, iii) all rights to the use of surface-, instream- or groundwater held by- or for the beneficial use of any Party to this Agreement, notwithstanding that the formal certification or other evidence of that right may name fewer than all Parties to this Agreement as the holder or owner of that right; iv) all contracts held by Tigard or any other party with any entity not a party to this Agreement for a supply of water for the Parties'joint use. 1 B. All other Parties delegate to Tigard the authority to enact water system rates and charges, including systems development or connection charges, with the advice of the IWB and as limited by state law, in such amounts as are necessary to maintain the system for the benefit of all Parties.

Tigard shall enter into all contracts necessary or desirable to operate the system in its own name whether or not any such contract is subject to IWB approval. Tigard shall issue and make provisions for repayment of any and all municipal bonds issued to finance capital improvements to the system and may pledge any and all system revenues for repayment of such bonds except those shares of system revenues that are to be disbursed annually to each other Party under Section 7E of this Agreement. Tigard shall prepare and issue all statements and filings necessary to issue such bonds and shall make all continuing disclosures regarding the bonds as may be required by state and federal law. A served Party may not issue or contract for any debt that is to be secured by any assets that are necessary to operate or maintain the water supply system. 1 D. A served Party shall consider any request by Tigard to exercise powers of eminent Tigard Water Supply Agreement 5th Draft 03/1012010 Page 2 domain if needed to acquire property within that Party's political boundary for use for the water supply system. A Party shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such a request. A Party may condition its exercise of such authority on Tigard's agreement to pay all attorney fees and costs incurred in any such proceedings. 2. Term of Agreement. 2A. The term of this Agreement shall be perpetual. Any served Party may terminate this agreement as between that Party and all other Parties by delivering written notice to the other Parties not less than 5 years prior so as to allow the Parties to reconfigure the supply, storage and distribution system serving the remaining Parties after any division of assets that may result from such termination. 2B. Tigard may terminate this Agreement as to any served Party only for cause and only after Tigard has served written notice to that Party of that Party's default as to a material term of this Agreement and has allowed that Party not less than 30 days to cure that default. On a Party's continued default Tigard may serve written notice of termination to that Party not less than 5 years prior so as to allow that Party to arrange for a replacement water source and supply system with Tigard or with another supplier. 2C. Tigard agrees to negotiate in good faith a wholesale water supply contract with a terminating Party on that Party's request. Tigard and the terminating Party may mutually agree to a different date of termination. 3. Intergovernmental Water Board. A. The Intergovernmental Water Board (IWB) is continued.

In consideration of the 1994 agreement with Tigard for a water supply system, each of the Parties owns an equitable, undivided common share (as calculated per Section 7B of this Agreement) of all capital improvements and real property used in the system that are located within the Parties'combined service area/OR/wherever located, including those improvements to be constructed by Lake Oswego and Tigard under that certain contract between those cities entered in or about August 2008 that are located within the service area shown on Exhibit_to this Agreement if constructed using revenues or the proceeds of debt to be repaid from revenues generated by the Tigard Water Supply Agreement 5th Draft 03/10/2010 Page 5 sale of water within the Parties' combined service area. The Parties' equitable shares of ownership of any and all such capital improvements shall be pledged to the repayment of any revenue bonds and shall be subordinated to the interest of the bond holder(s) as to any and all revenue bonds sold by Tigard to finance capital improvements to the Parties' water supply system the extent required by the debt instrument(s). 7B. A Party's equitable share of a system asset, whether real or personal property, shall be calculated using cumulative meter equivalency values. Tigard shall recalculate those shares every two years in the course of Tigard's annual budget process and will recalculate the Parties' shares on any Party's termination or on dissolution of this Agreement. The Parties' shared interests in any system asset that is real property and that Tigard uses in part for purposes other than operation of the water system shall be shown by lease agreements between the Parties and Tigard and recorded in county deed records. The Parties ownership shares of any property subject to a lease agreement with Tigard shall be set out in the lease agreement and any change in those shares (after recalculation as provided for herein) shall be set out by amendment to the lease agreement. 7C. The value of a system asset shall be calculated by one method for assets that are personal property and another method for real property. An asset that is personal property shall have that asset's depreciated value over its useful life using straight line depreciation as are set out in the "Tigard Water District System Assets and Liabilities Final Report" of November 1994 , Section ll. 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. An asset that is real property shall be valued by an independent appraisal at such time as the property or a portion of same is assigned, sold or otherwise conveyed and at the time of any Party's termination or the dissolution of this Agreement. 7D. The proceeds of any sale or other conveyance of any portion or all of a system asset that is real property shall be allocated to each Party according to its current ownership share and shall be held by Tigard in the "Water CIP Fund" or similar other segregated account for use for capital improvements to the Parties' water supply system. 7E. Tigard shall maintain all system assets and shall recommend to the IWB the disposition of any asset that is or becomes surplus to the needs of the water supply system. Tigard shall adequately insure all system assets against all risks of loss. Tigard shall prepare and maintain a current list of all system assets including but not limited to intake facilities, treatment plants, transmission lines and storage and pumping facilities showing the general location relative to major streets and political boundaries, the original date in service and the original cost to acquire or to construct the asset. A list of such facilities that is current as of the date of this Agreement is attached as Exhibit X to this Agreement and incorporated by this reference. Tigard on any served Party's Tigard Water Supply Agreement 5th Draft 03/10/2010 Page 6 request shall calculate the value of that Party's ownership share of a system asset for that Party's use in its annual budget as may be required by General Accounting Standards Board rules. 7F. For the duration of this Agreement each Party shall be entitled to dispose of ?? percent of the annual revenue (pro-rated to the date of the Party's termination, if applicable) collected from customers within that Party's boundary. Tigard shall dispense that amount to a served Party at least once annually. A Party may direct Tigard to hold such revenue in a segregated fund in trust for that Party pending the Party's further direction on the disposition of that revenue. 7G.Tigard shall make the same public meeting space(s) that are used for IWB meetings available to any Party on request free of charge on reasonable advance notice for that Party's occasional use for a public meeting whether or not the meeting is related to the water system. 8. Division of Assets on Termination or Dissolution. 8A. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall divide assets using the same procedures as are set out in ORS 222.540 (as to partial withdrawals of territory from a water district upon annexation to a city) or, if applicable, and in lieu of a division of assets, the Parties may negotiate a wholesale water supply agreement between the terminating Party and the remaining Parties. A Served Party that terminates this Agreement shall not thereby be relieved from liabilities and indebtedness previously contracted by Tigard for the benefit of the water supply system and shall assume its share of that liability and debt in the matter provided in that statute or as otherwise agreed by all of the Parties. 8113. Except for the annual distribution of water system revenues provided for in Section 7F of this Agreement, all other revenue generated by operation of the water supply system shall not be subject to distribution or accounting on a served Party's termination and shall not be subject to an equitable- or other claim by that Party. 8C. A terminating Party may offer to convey its ownership share of system assets to Tigard and may waive its rights to a division of assets as provided in this Agreement in consideration of a wholesale contract for water supply between the terminating Party and Tigard. Any such contract is subject to IWB review and approval as provided for herein. If the asset is not essential to the operation of such jurisdictions' 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. 8D. Tigard shall have the first right of refusal to purchase a served Party's share of a system asset on that Party's termination of this Agreement or on the Parties' decision to sell all or a portion of a system asset, on the same terms and conditions as offered to Tigard Water Supply Agreement 5th Draft 03/10/2010 Page 7 any other person or entity. The offer to purchase and Tigard's exercise of its rights as to that offer shall be on the same terms as in that certain Tenancy in Common agreement between the served Parties and Tigard for the property commonly known as 8777 Burnham Street, Tigard, Washington County, Oregon entered in or about June 2007. 9. Accounting and Records. 9A. Tigard shall account for the operation and maintenance of the water system as an enterprise fund using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to utility enterprises for the recording and identifying of all revenues and expenditures.

Tigard shalll provide a copy of each year-end financial audit of its accounts to any Party upon that Party's request. 10. Annexation and Changes to Service Area. The Parties' combined service area as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement is shown, with relation to the Parties' political boundaries, on Exhibit X to this Agreement, attached and incorporated by this reference. An annexation of new territory to any Party's political boundary and annexation-related changes to political boundary between any of the Parties shall be subject to the process for boundary changes set out in Metro Code and in state law. The determination of what Party or what other entity shall be the water supply provider for the area to be annexed shall be decided by that process. Each Party to this Agreement reserves all of the rights granted by Metro Code and state law to appear and be heard in those proceedings. Each of the Parties agrees in good faith to execute any and all documents as is reasonable and necessary to effectuate a final decision on any boundary change as between any two or more Parties. Any of the served Parties may enter an urban services provider agreement with Tigard as to the water supply provider within all or a portion of that served Party's political boundary by the process set out in state law for such urban service provider agreements. 11. Amendment. No amendment to this Agreement and no substitution of any exhibit to this Agreement shall be effective unless in a writing signed and dated by all Parties. Tigard Water Supply Agreement 5th Draft 03/10/2010 Page 8 12. Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, all remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in effect until this Agreement is terminated or expired. After any declaration of invalidity or unconstitutionality of a portion of this Franchise, any Party may demand that one or more other Parties meet to discuss amending the terms of this Agreement to conform to the original intent of the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree on a revised agreement within ninety (90) days after such a court decision is final and binding, any Party whose rights and obligations are affected by the decision shall have cause to terminate this Agreement by delivering one hundred and eighty (180) days notice to the other Party. 13. Property Conveyances. All parties agree in good faith to execute any and all real property conveyances deemed necessary or desirable to show each Party's share of ownership of such property as provided for in this Agreement. 14. Execution and Effective Date. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement binding on all Parties who have signed, notwithstanding that all Parties are not signatories to the same counterpart. Each copy of this Agreement so executed shall constitute a duplicate original. AS OF MARCH 10, 2010 THE PARTIES HAVE NOT YET AGREED ON PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE FOLLOWING TOPICS: 1. Effective Date: Should this Agreement be effective between Tigard and each Party who signs, or effective only when all current parties sign? If the former, does the former (current) IGA stay in effect as between Tigard and the party who does not sign the new agreement? 2. System Assets: Do they include only assets within the parties' combined service area or all assets? Do they include assets that Tigard will co-own with Lake Oswego under those cities' separate IGA for a shared water supply system? Should this agreement require that any certificates or other documentation of water rights held by Tigard be revised or amended to name the other parties as having an equitable ownership interest? Note that the process required to amend those certificates has not been researched. 3. What portion of water revenues generated from customers within a Party's boundary should be sent to that Party each year? See Section 7F above.

STREET MAINTENANCE - IMPACTS REVIEWED You are what you drink Page 1 of 2 Lake Oswego Review You are what you drink Tests show that LO water quality ranks among best in the nation BY CLIFF NEWELL The Lake Oswego Review,Feb 4, 2010 When it comes to the quality of its drinking water,Lake Oswego is lucky and Lake Oswego is good. Lucky to get its water from an excellent source.Good because the Lake Oswego Water Treatment Plant takes extraordinary efforts to assure that the city's drinking water is clean. In fact,water plant manager Kari Duncan goes to such ` great lengths to meet clean water guidelines that she still feels bad about the one report that was turned in late last year. "We want to purify that water,"said Duncan,who has been plant manager since 2005."We want to do anything we can to get rid of dirt and particles. "All of the water that comes out is extremely clean.It meets all state and federal qualifications." That's a lot of water.The Lake Oswego plant is capable of producing up to 16 million gallons a day.The usual amount per day is 4.5 million in the winter and ii million gallons in the summer.It is remarkably clean and drinkable. "We have several things going for us,"Duncan said."The Clackamas River is a very good source of drinking water.There are few cities upriver from us." And also—"Pacific Northwest water is excellent in comparison with the water in other regions." Then the venerable Lake Oswego Water Treatment Plant,which was built in 1968,starts doing its work. Duncan and her staff of six operators guide a process that takes two and a half hours,from taking water from the Clackamas River to filling a glass with clean water for some thirsty soul in Lake Oswego. The plant is so closely monitored that a door cannot open without an intercom announcement that somebody is arriving or leaving. But it is the water that gets the closest attention as it goes through a filtering process that kills microbes and dissolves coagulants,letting raw river water filter through layers of anthracite coal and sand for 3o hours.From there it goes on to the giant pumps. There are even online monitors that test the clarity of the water. "We have many parameters that the process is working correctly,"Duncan said. No water is perfect,Duncan noted,but Lake Oswego water comes close.After all the filtering is complete,the water here has a turbidity level of just.05 units. mhtrnl:file://C:\Documents and Settings\kathym\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\C... 2/26/2010 You are what you drink Page 2 of 2 This is especially good news for local people,because the news is not nearly as good in many other cities.The New York Times has been running a lengthy series titled Toxic Water,which abounds with information about how millions of Americans are drinking water that is not healthy for them. This view is backed up by a report from the Environmental Working Group,which examined water quality levels in all major cities and put it into a giant database.With just 36,000 people, Lake Oswego didn't make the cut when it came to population.But Duncan viewed the results for the top cities,and she was gratified with the way Lake Oswego stacks up with the best. "When you compare Lake Oswego to the top large cities,our water is comparable,"Duncan said. "We're right up there.We meet all of the EPA regulations.In fact we meet them easily." Duncan noted that of the EPA's list of go harmful chemicals in water, Lake Oswego water has only four of them; and one of them,chlorine,is a mandatory addition for water safety. There is another question: How does Lake Oswego water compare to bottled water? Duncan thinks it does quite well. She said,"Forty percent of bottled water is municipal water that has been filtered.We have to meet many more regulations,we test it more and we have to put out more public reports." In general,Duncan believes that municipal drinking water is safer than it was 20 or 30 years ago because tests and treatment of water far exceed that of the past. Still, Duncan and her crew cannot rest on their laurels because Lake Oswego's appetite for water is growing greater and greater. "On some days in the summer we're pumping out 15 or 16 million gallons of water,which pushes us almost to the edge,"she said. But there will be a solution in the future. Duncan said that Lake Oswego is teaming up with the city of Tigard to double the capacity of the plant to 32 million gallons a day,enough to meet the needs of both cities,by 2o16.
