Ms. Smith-Wagar reported:
• The new monthly utility billing structure began on January 1, 2011.
• All customers will be on a four-week billing cycle by the end of January 2011.
• The switch to monthly billing was publicized in Cityscape, Know H2O, Tigard Times, The
Oregonian, and in a bill stuffer.
Note:Agenda item #6 was continued following the discussion of a non-agenda item.
11. Non-Agenda Items
The Board briefly discussed a memorandum from Mr. Goodrich comparing Tualatin Valley
Water District (TVWD) water rates to the new Tigard water rates. The memo is on file in the
IWB record.
Note:Agenda item#6 was continued.
Ms. Smith-Wagar went on to report Tigard has collaborated with St. Vincent de Paul to
administer a financial assistance program for water service. St. Vincent de Paul already
administers similar programs for other utilities such as electricity and natural gas. Eligibility for
water service assistance is determined by the same federal guidelines used for other utilities.
Tigard provided $10,000 in initial funding for the financial assistance program. The assistance is
available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Commissioner Buehner asked Ms. Smith-Wagar to update the Board next month regarding any
issues arising from the implementation of monthly billing.
7. Discussion of Durham's Comments on the Intergovernmental Agreement(IGA)with
Durham City Attorney Bill Scheiderich— Dennis Koellermeier
Mr. Koellermeier introduced Durham City Attorney Bill Scheiderich. Mr. Scheiderich was
appearing on behalf of the Durham City Council to review the Council's feedback on the sixth
version of the IGA. The feedback is summarized in a letter, which is on file in the IWB record. A
summary of the IGA comments and the Board's corresponding discussions are as follows:
• Durham asserts it should be treated as a co-owner as opposed to a wholesale water
customer.
• Item 1 -The parties cannot delegate condemnation authority to Tigard. A previous draft may
contain alternate language that addresses this issue.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 12,2011
2
• Item 2— Durham would like all parties to have a vote regarding water sales to non-parties. A
majority vote of the four jurisdictions was proposed. The concern was that Tigard, as the
managing entity, could make decisions to the detriment of the member jurisdictions.
Commissioner Winn suggested this was a managerial issue and should be left up to Tigard.
• Item 3— Durham questioned the use of the word "surcharge," and preferred the existing
practice whereby the rebate is not listed separately on the utility bill.
Mr. Koellermeier noted water revenue has recently increased. The intent of this language
was to fix the member jurisdictions' rebate to about two percent of current revenue, as
opposed to an ongoing calculation tied to revenue increases. He noted Tigard did not
receive these funds; the funds were passed along to the member jurisdictions. The rebate
was originally developed to generate revenue for Durham, King City and the Tigard Water
District (TWD). The TWD has no other source of revenue.
Commissioner Stone said if the member jurisdictions wanted to maintain the rebate, then
the rebate should be transparent to customers and labeled accordingly.
Commissioner Winn advised the Board had already reached consensus on a two-percent
rebate, irrelevant of what terminology is used.
Commissioners Henschel and Mr. Scheiderich said they did not want the fee to be
delineated on the bill.
The Board discussed possible terminology and Mr. Koellermeier said he would try to
develop language that would be acceptable to the member jurisdictions.
• Item 4—This item may be similar to item 1.E. in the seventh version of the IGA.
Mr. Koellermeier said this was a carryover from the original agreement. He clarified
Durham's comments were applicable irrespective of whether the revenue was generated for
infrastructure inside or outside of existing Tigard Water Service Area (TWSA) boundaries.
In terms of a member jurisdiction vote, Commissioner Winn commented the IWB does not
have authority to dictate to the City of Tigard; the IWB is advisory.
The Board discussed its role and authority as it relates to the Tigard City Council.
• Item 5—Commissioners Henschel and Winn suggested a five-year notice of termination was
appropriate.
Commissioner Stone inquired about Tigard's budgeting process and the impact of a shorter
termination notice.
Mr. Koellermeier reported Tigard is obligated to purchase a certain amount of water from
Portland, and this obligation was predicated upon Tigard's commitment to provide water to
the member jurisdictions. He said Tigard would likely need a five-year notice of termination.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 12,2011
3
• Item 6— Durham wants to have a vote regarding the disposition of surplus assets.
Commissioner Henschel concurred with Durham's position on the dispositions of surplus
assets.
Durham also requested use of the IWB meeting space once per year for each member
jurisdiction.
Mr. Koellermeier said he would prepare a response to this item.
• Item 7— Mr. Scheiderich reported this item was not a principal concern for Durham. He
noted other information under this item was commentary.
• Item 8— Mr. Scheiderich said this was the same concern mentioned earlier, namely that
Tigard had the authority to overextend the water system by constructing infrastructure to
serve areas outside the existing TWSA boundaries. Durham would like to see an IWB vote
on such issues.
• Item 9— Mr. Scheiderich said this was an oversight in all the earlier drafts. The IGA should
have additional language to prohibit member jurisdictions from selling their share of the
water system to another party.
Several Commissioners said they supported this addition.
• Item 10— Durham views itself as a co-owner of the system. Durham acknowledges its
interest may be an equitable interest as opposed to a legal interest. Mr. Scheiderich
reported Durham is adamant that if their ratepayers fund infrastructure, they should have an
ownership interest in that infrastructure. Durham acknowledges this request is subject to
bond covenants and the Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership agreement.
Commissioner Buehner and Winn concurred with Durham's request.
Mr. Koellermeier said Tigard was exploring the issue of equitable interest.
Commissioner Winn said that once the bonds for Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership
are paid, infrastructure associated with the project should become a system asset.
Commissioner Winn acknowledged Tigard had assumed all the risk associated with
bonding. Mr. Koellermeier said the issue of bond risk still needed to be resolved.
Commissioner Winn said when the bonds were paid, and Tigard no longer had any bonding
risk, then King City ratepayers should have an ownership interest in the projects funded by
the bonds.
Mr. Koellermeier said the member jurisdictions, as partners, and Tigard, as the managing
authority, have a unique relationship. He acknowledged the member jurisdictions were
"owners," but said the level of ownership was not equal. He said that should a member
jurisdiction leave the IWB, they would have an equitable interest in the water system. He
added that, in addition to system assets, other asset classifications might be created.
Commissioner Winn said he wanted only system assets.
Intergovernmental Water Board Minutes January 12,2011
4
Mr. Koellermeier said he would try to develop a compromise that was acceptable to the
Board.
Commissioner Jehnke suggested the IGA could stipulate that a member jurisdiction could
not leave the partnership until the bonds were paid.
Commissioner Winn summarized his comments on the seventh draft of the IGA. His comments
appear on a copy of the agreement, which is on file in the IWB record. Aside from minor edits,
notations regarding changes to content are shown on pages 6 and 10.
With regard to Commissioner Winn's comments on item 7.F., (page 6), Mr. Koellermeier
confirmed that the IWB's approval would be advisory to the Tigard City Council.
Mr. Koellermeier pledged that where possible, he would develop language that represents
"middle ground" between Tigard's interests and Mr. Scheiderich's and Commissioner Winn's
comments. If, from Tigard's perspective, there are issues where middle ground cannot be
reached, Mr. Koellermeier said he would be direct about Tigard's position.
Commissioner Buehner said some issues might require a consultation with Tigard's bond
counsel.
Mr. Koellermeier inquired about comments from TWD. Commissioner Henschel reported TWD
Commissioners were asked to review and compare the various versions of the agreement.
Commissioner Buehner asked if the TWD could submit their comments in advance of the IWB's
next meeting. Commissioner Henschel said the TWD's timeline might not allow for this.
Commissioner Henschel said he would not have any comments to share until the TWD had met
and discussed the agreement. Commissioner Winn directed the TWD work from the seventh
version of the IGA.
Commissioner Stone inquired how the IGA addressed defending against claims and negligent
operation of the water system. Mr. Koellermeier said he would work on this language.
8. Progress Report on Water Policies and Procedures Update—John Goodrich
Mr. Goodrich reported that on January 25, 2011, the Tigard City Council would consider new
procedures for delinquent payments, credit for leaks, curtailment, and meter tampering. These
procedures were requested by the IWB. Also at the request of the IWB, the Council will
consider increasing the City Manager's signing authority to $2,000. If approved, only credit for
leak requests over$2,000 will come before the IWB. Mr. Goodrich also explained the process to
amend Tigard's administrative rules related to these procedures.
9. Progress Report on Water System Development Charge Implementation —John
Goodrich
Mr. Goodrich distributed and summarized a handout detailing new City of Tigard Water System
Development Charges (SDCs). The fee schedule is on file in the IWB record.
The Board briefly discussed SDCs.
Mr. Goodrich reported the Tigard City Council adopted the SDC implementation recommended
by the Home Builders Association. This represents a four-step, three-year phase-in of the
charges. The new SDCs will take effect February 1, 2011.

10. Informational Items - Update from Commissioner Buehner on Lake Oswego/City of
Tigard Oversight Committee activities.
Commissioner Buehner reported:
• The Lake Oswego and Tigard City Councils approved the Supply Facilities Capital
Improvement Program.
• Neighbors surrounding the Waluga reservoir are upset about possible expansion of the
site.
• A value engineering review of water partnership project plans will be underway soon.
Such a review is conducted to determine if any additional efficiencies or cost savings
can be identified. The Oversight Committee will receive a report in February.
In response to a request from Commissioner Winn, Mr. Koellermeier said he would provide the
value engineering report and costs to the Board. He said performing a value analysis was
typical for projects of this type.
Mr. Koellermeier reported the contract for the treatment plant design would be awarded in
March. This is the first of six design contracts.

VALUE ENGINEERING
IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSE GUIDE
As you read through the value recommendations developed by the VE team,please remember
that you are reviewing"as-is hand written material"prepared by the team members during the
workshop. Time is constrained in the workshop environment, which may result in apparent
errors or oversights in the development work sheets. If you find any such inconsistencies, kindly
call me directly so we can double check our work and respond accordingly. We can be reached
at 360.789.5905.
Listed below is a guide for helping you prepare your implementation response comment for the
value recommendations contained in the preliminary report. Keep in mind, most responses will
not be clear cut,but rather will fall into one of the modified categories between accept and reject.
VALUE ENGINEERING
IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSE COMMENT GUIDE
RESPONSE COMMENT TYPICAL USE
Accept Shows agreement with the idea as stated in the VE report.
Partial Accept Shows agreement with one or more of the concepts
presented within the VE idea but not all. Identify that
aspect of the recommendation being accepted.
Further Study Further research(technical, regulatory, etc.)is needed to
validate or respond to the idea. Identify what information
needs to be developed—and the anticipated implementation
action once further study is completed.
Open A policy or management decision is necessary to resolve an
issue before a decision can be made on acceptance of the
VE recommendation. Identify the action to be accomplished
such as a policy decision or technical memorandum.
Designer Option A minor detail best left to the designers creativity—the
recommendation will be integrated into the project.
Reject Shows disagreement with the idea. Provide reason for
rejecting the idea. In some cases one recommendation is
rejected in lieu of accepting another.

4. Water Supply Update
Mr. Goodrich reported:
• Average water demand is about 4 million gallons per day.
• Injection is ongoing into aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) well one. Injection is
completed in ASR well two.
• The City of Portland proposed a 10 percent increase in the cost of wholesale water
rates. Tigard anticipated this increase in its upcoming 2011-2012 budget. Similar rate
increases are expected over the next five years.
• Tigard signed-on for 31 million gallons of summer interruptible water from Portland. The
water will be available in July and August. This adds 500,000 gallons per day to the
water supply over the two-month period.

• Half-street improvements, including a wall and sidewalks, are under construction as part
of the 10-million-gallon reservoir improvement and transfer pump station project. A
coating was applied to the inside of the reservoir to prolong the life of the concrete. A
new back-up generator is awaiting installation.
5. Update on the Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership
Mr. Koellermeier introduced Joel Komarek, Director of the Lake Oswego-Tigard Water
Partnership. Mr. Komarek gave a PowerPoint presentation to update the Board on the water
partnership. The PowerPoint presentation is on file in the IWB record. Mr. Komarek also
provided the Board with handouts, which are also on file in the IWB record. Topics of Mr.
Komarek's presentation included:
■ Supply Facilities Capital Improvement Program
■ Project definition
■ Value engineering
■ Design firm procurement
■ Permitting/land use
■ Water rights
Presentation highlights:
■ In response to concerns from neighbors bordering the future Waluga II Reservoir, the
Lake Oswego City Council elected to construct a taller, 3.5-million-gallon reservoir tank.
This will decrease the footprint of the new reservoir, but means Lake Oswego will incur
some additional pumping costs over the life cycle of the facility.
■ Mr. Komarek discussed horizontal directional drilling techniques that will be used to
route the finished raw water pipeline through Oswego Lake.
■ Mr. Komarek briefly talked about siting options for the Bonita pump station.
■ Tigard and Lake Oswego are considering upsizing pipeline capacity in the event Tigard
ultimately receives more than its allocated 14 million gallons per day.
■ Mr. Komarek discussed neighborhood concerns regarding the expansion of the water
treatment plant in the Robinwood neighborhood. Lake Oswego is seeking an amenable
resolution, however, the Lake Oswego City Council is prepared to take legal action if
necessary.
■ Overall water partnership costs are estimated at $230 million.
• Design contracts for various partnership projects will be awarded by the Lake Oswego
City Council. Design firms for all projects are expected to be under contract by August
2011.
■ Mr. Komarek discussed options to transport raw water across the Willamette River.
■ With regard to water rights litigation, a final order is expected within the next 60 days.
■ Water permits, when issued, will be in effect through the year 2040.
6. Election of Chair and Vice Chair
Mr. Koellermeier informed the Commissioners that they were required to appoint a Chair and
Vice-Chair at their February meeting each year. Since the Board did not meet in February, the

Commissioner Jehnke seconded the nomination. Commissioner Winn was appointed to
serve as the Chair by unanimous vote of the Commissioners present, with
Commissioners Buehner, Henschel, Jehnke, Stone and Winn voting yes.
