Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting Minutes September 10, 2003 Members Present. Dick Winn, Brian Moore, Beverly Froude, and Patrick Carroll (Bill Scheiderich—absent/excused) Staff Present. Ed Wegner, Dennis and Twila Willson Visitors: Roel Lundquist and Marc Delphine 1. Callao Order, Roll Call and Introductions Commissioner Patrick Carroll called the meeting to order and staff called roll. Bill Scheiderich was not present and was excused. 2. Approval of Minutes—August 13, 2003 Commissioner Beverly Froude motioned to approve the minutes of the August 13, 2003, Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting and Commissioner Dick Winn seconded the motion. The vote to approve and accept the minutes was unanimous. 3. Assistant PW Director's Utility Report—Ed Wegner Dennis Koellermeier was not able to attend the meeting and Ed Wegner gave the utility report. ASR-The land use permit has been applied for and should take approximately 45 days to process. The drilling at the 10-mg well should begin within 60 days and the Baggenstos property test well will follow that schedule. Summer Peaking -Water demand dropped with cooler weather last week. The summer peak day reached a record high of 14.28 mgd. Tigard shut down two wells to reduce purchasing of water and avoid the City of Portland's operational penalties which are set at 20% reduction. Bull Run—The City of Portland announced that they will continue to blend water through the end of October at a 60% Bull Run, 40% groundwater ratio. They have not received complaints from mixing the water. Weather Protections -The weather projections anticipate drier than normal weather for the next two months and possibly longer. Vulnerabiiity Assessment Study—This study is mandated by Congress. Tigard will be meeting tomorrow to begin the process of assessing the vulnerability of the water system, how to prevent intrusions and provide a report. This report is not a public document due to the nature of the issue. Intergovernmental Water Board i September 10,2003 DRAFT COPY Loaned Employee Program—Public Works divisions have loaned employees to help out with the seasonal operational needs of the Streets and Parks divisions; the exchange will begin in October. This program has become necessary due to budget cutbacks. Rider School/Reservoir—A neighborhood meeting was held Monday night with the school district. There are some traffic issues for school parking and buses and the neighbors want a left-turn lane to channel traffic, but it doesn't appear that there will be problems for the reservoir. There is a living estate agreement between the school district and Mrs. Rider,which allows her to live on the property in the two existing structures without any intrusion by the city or school. One concern of the neighbors was how the city would access the reservoir to monitor its operation. It was stated that access would be decided by the school district either through a secondary access road off Bull Mountain Road or a private cul-de-sac off 133`d Street. 4. PW Director's Report- Ed Wegner Joint Water Commission—The JWC draft agreement should be ready at the end of the week. Once the final details are worked out between the four existing city managers and Tigard's City Manager, it will be presented to each of the four agencies involved in the IWB for approval and signature. The raw water pipeline is moving along well. The route has been determined and talks are starting with some of the landowners to purchase easements or property for the pipeline. Some farmers are reluctant to give the easements, but no severe opposition and negotiations will continue. Portland Wholesale Contract— Portland presented three scenarios to the wholesale agencies and from the responses received from those scenarios, Portland realized that they might loose other agencies, including Tigard, as wholesale customers. The City of Portland's attitude has been that the Bull Run water is the best and they haven't thought other agencies are serious about going to other water sources. In actuality, most of the agencies are looking for other sources. The agencies have asked Portland how they would bring their prices to a competitive level, but Portland simply seems not willing to do so because they need $15m to meet their needs and don't want to waiver from that target goal. Soon there will have to be a reality check on both sides. If Tigard no longer purchases water from Portland as a wholesale agency, then other options are necessary in order to back up that decision. At this point, Tigard is not able to go to the Willamette River without a vote of the citizens, the JWC cannot provide enough water until the dam raise takes place, and with ASR wells Tigard will still fall short of what is needed for demand. A decision will have to be made within the next few months. 5. Informational Items-Ed Wegner The water comparison chart did not make it in the Cityscape because of a decision to reduce the size of Cityscape, but it is available on the city web page. Each of the informational packet articles were briefly described. Intergovernmental Water Board 2 September 10,2003 DRAFT COPY The memo regarding Bull Mountain annexation impacts is very important and annexation will affect the TWD board configuration through boundary reduction changes. Referring to the wall map, Mr. Wegner explained that the Tigard Water Service System includes the cities of Tigard, Durham and King City and the Unincorporated (TWD) area, and these four entities are partners. Annexation would reduce the unincorporated area (TWD) and could eventually eliminate it all together. 6. Public Comments Roel Lundquist asked for an update on the quarry project (Bridgeport Village). Mr. Wegner indicated that the project was put on hold because of appeals. The cost analysis has not been completed and nothing has gone to an intergovernmental agreement. Roel Lundquist went on to report that road improvements were going to be worked on at Findley Road and Tigard may want to put the pipes in now in conjunction with the road project. Mr.Wegner said he would have Dennis coordinate that part of the project with the City of Durham. Commissioner Marc Delphine (TWD) requested a brief explanation about the Intergovernmental Water Board and Tigard Water District. Mr. Wegner explained that there are five seats on the IWB consisting of representatives from the Cities of Durham, King City and Tigard and the unincorporated area of Washington County(TWD) plus one appointed member-at-large. The IWB was established in 1993 through an intergovernmental agreement. He went on to explain the process of passing on information from staff to the entities. Commissioner Delphine also requested a survey from the IWB members regarding the fluoridation issue. Commissioner Moore indicated that a survey had not been made of the constituents and their response would be personal opinions only. Mr.Wegner stated that when Beaverton decided to fluoridate their water, the IWB decided that fluoridated water was not an issue with the Tigard Water Service Area because it would be diluted down to only a trace in the system by the time it reached our area of the pipeline. 7. Non-Agenda Items -None 8. Next meeting date— Tuesday, October 21, 2003, at 5:30 pm (location to be announced), followed by a Joint Meeting with Tigard City Council in Town Hall 9. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 6:40 p.m. Intergovernmental Water Board 3 September 10,2003 DRAFT COPY r Water Rate Model Update & SDC Analysis City of Tigard, Oregon Intergovernmental Water Board Meeting November 12, 2003 Financial Consulting Solutions Group, Inc. 8201-164"' Ave NE, Suite 300 ■ Redmond, WA 98052 (425) 867-1802 ■ fax (425) 867-1937 ■ www.fcsgroup.com Presentation Overview 1 .

RECITALS On or about , 2003, the individual members of JWC approved a Water Service Agreement,which replaced earlier agreements between these same parties creating the Joint Water Commission. The Water Service Agreement provides a comprehensive agreement in all aspects of the System as defined therein, including among other things, operation,maintenance,repair, replacement,ownership and allocation of the System,including water rights, and mechanisms for governance and future capital improvements. The City of Tigard desires to become a member of the JWC and the JWC is willing to grant Tigard membership' All parties and Tigard wish to amend the Water Service Agreement, and being fully advised, now therefore the parties agree as follows: 1. Covenant of Tigard. In consideration of Tigard becoming a member of the JWC, Tigard agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions of the Water Service Agreement dated , 2003 and this first Amendment. 2. Acknowledgement of Tigard. By execution hereof, Tigard acknowledges that it has no stored water rights or surface water rights in the Tualatin River, Hagg Lake, or Barney Reservoir and that any water it obtains from JWC shall be through leases of water and use of System components as approved by the JWC according to the Water Service Agreement. 3: Capital Contributions and Future Capital Projects. The JWC,by and through its individual partners, and Tigard, are presently involved in preliminary feasibility analysis to expand stored raw water capacity or to obtain additional stored raw water in Hagg Lake. The parties recognize that such expansion and the amount of stored raw water that may be available as a result of these efforts is speculative and subject to numerous factors that may result in no additional raw water ora completed project yielding less stored raw water than anticipated. The parties agree that Tigard's Capital Contribution to the System will be for these improvements to obtain additional stored raw water and that Tigard's proportionate ownership in the System will AMENDMENT TO WATERSERVICE-JOINDER AGREEMENT,Page 1 of 5 C:\DOCLTME—l\ed\LOCALS-1\Temp\WATERS—l.DOC be calculated based upon that Capital Contribution. Tigard acknowledges and agrees that if additional stored raw water is not obtained through these efforts then no water will ultimately be available to Tigard and Tigard will not be able to continue as a partner. In such event, Tigard agrees that it will voluntarily terminate and withdraw from the System as provided in the Water Service Agreement. 4. Governance. The parties agree that Tigard will have three representatives as set forth in Article III, Section 3.1 of the Water Service Agreement. The parties agree to modify Article III of the Water Service Agreement as follows: "3.1 The Commission. There is hereby continued pursuant to ORS 190 the Joint Water Commission-Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Beaverton, Tigard, and the Tualatin Valley Water District(the"Commission'). The members of the Commission shall be three(3)persons from each of the parties who are from time to time appointed by their respective bodies pursuant to the laws and regulations of the governing bodies. Members of the Commission shall serve at the pleasure of their respective appointing bodies. The name of the Commission shall be the "Joint Water Commission-Hillsboro,Forest Grove,Beaverton, Tigard and the Tualatin Valley Water District." . . . "3.4 Meetings; Manner of Acting. Meetings of the Commission shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Oregon Public Meeting Law, ORS 192.610-192.710. The Commission shall hold meetings not less than quarterly. Such meeting may be cancelled by a vote of the Commission. Special meetings may be called by the Chairperson or by any Vice Chairperson. Sem) Eight 8 members of the.Commission(including at least one(1)member appointed by each party) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of the business of the Commission. An affirmative vote of a simple majority of the members of the Commission,provided that one(1) affirmative vote is received from each of the parties to this Agreement shall be necessary to decide any issue before this Commission,unless a different voting requirement for a specific action is specified or allowed in this Agreement." . . . "3.8 Management Committee. Each party shall appoint its Chief Executive Officer or their designee to serve on the Management Committee. If the Commission elects to hire its own employees for management the Commission, as provided for this m Section 3.7 of this Agreement,then the General Manager of the Commission shall also be a member of the Management Committee. The Management Committee shall meet as required to review the business operations of the Commission, such as planning, operations, etc.,to make recommendations to the Gemmissien General Manager." 5. Lease of Water by JWC. Until the projects referred to in Section 2 above regarding expansion or obtaining additional stored raw water are successfully completed, and at all times subject to the terms of the Water Service Agreement, JWC will lease water to Tigard upon mutually agreeable terms as to quantity and price. AMENDMENT TO WATERSERVICE-JOINDER AGREEMENT,Page 2 of 5 C:\DOCUME—I\ed\LOCAJ-S—I\Tenv\WATERS—I.DOC 6. The Parties agree that Article V, Section 5.3 of the Water Service Agreement shall be amended as follows: Section 5.3, Stored Raw Water. "Each party shall have available to it or obtain Capacity in Stored Raw Water, such that sufficient raw water is available at the Water Treatment Plant Facilities to serve the Demand of the Party. The Capacity requirement for Stored Raw Water shall consist of the water used by the Party for the period of May 1' through October 31St. Such period may be adjusted from time to time based on the legal and operational availability of Surface Water Rights. Stored Raw Water Capacity may be obtained by purchase of existing Stored Raw Water, expansion of Stored Raw Water and/or leasing of Stored Raw Water from another Party." 7. The Parties agree that Article VII, Sections 7.5 and 7.6 of the Water Service Agreement shall be amended as follows: Section 7.5,Excess Use Payments. "To the extent that a Party uses capacity in the System in excess of its owned or leased capacity but such use does not exceed the threshold for over use as defined in Section 5.8,the Parties shall be required to compensate the Party or Parties for the excess capacity used. The determination of when the terms of this Section apply and the price paid for use of Capacity will be determined bye Commission with the intent being that the Parties are treated equitably and fairly. If there is a lease in place, the lease price shall gpply to the excess. This_pro_vision shall not apply to those.circumstances where the Commission offers additional water to a Party because of operational needs or considerations." Section 7.6,Effective Dates of Leases "The effective date for leases set forth in this Article 7 shall be on March 1, 2003 following the adoption of this Agreement and every March 1St thereafter." 8. Existing Agreement. In all respects, and except as specifically modified by this First Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Water Service Agreement are in full force and effect.

The study began in November 2oo1 as a collaborative effort led by Clean Water Services in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation and local water providers. Background A series of water supply studies set the stage for the.WSFS. In the early 19go's the Regional Providers"Phase I Source Options Study"evaluated 29 different new water source options (options list attached in Appendix A).Expansion of Hagg Lake was not included in this study. Phase II of the Regional Water Supply Plan(RWSP), adopted in 1996,detailed how to meet regional 2050 water supply needs and added conservation to the supply options recommended in Phase I. The Integrated Water Resources Management Strategy(IWRM),completed in 2oo1,is a, cooperative approach among water resource agencies in Washington County for addressing a range of water issues. A priority IWRM action is to ensure a long-term water supply to meet future basin needs. The IWRM strategy estimated that the Tualatin Basin would face supply shortfalls by 2050 WSFS Source Options Screening The current Tualatin Basin WSFS is the next step of the IWRM. Using the comprehensive list of potential sources from previous studies and input from a scoping process in early 2002,a set of options were identified for more detailed evaluation: The following options were carried forward. • Water conservation. Programs and policies that reduce the demand for municipal/industrial and agricultural water supplies. • Wastewater reuse. Infrastructure to distribute treated wastewater for irrigation, primarily for non-food crops. Reuse would result in a reduction in demand in the municipal/industrial and agricultural sectors. • New Tualatin Basin storage. Includes several specific options: ■ Scoggins Dam raise. Constructed dam raise would result in a larger pool behind the dam and increased storage. ■ New in-line storage'on a Tualatin River tributary. New dam on a tributary,similar to the existing Scoggins Dam. ■ Off-line storage on a Tualatin River tributary. Water impounded away from tributaries in the high flow season and pumped back to the tributary during low flows to satisfy in-stream water needs only. ■ Stimson Dam. New dam below Scoggins Dam and upstream from Stimson Lumber Mill. Water Supply Feasibility Study y . Supply Options Evaluation Summary r V • Aquifer storage and recovery(ASR). Injecting treated drinlang water into underground aquifers during low demand periods and pumping it to provide supplemental peak use supply.Assumed to satisfy municipal needs only. • Bull Run System Contracts. Two scenarios: Near-term(by 202o)expansion of supply capacity through filtration treatment and a raise of the existing Bull Run Dam Number 2; and construction of a third dam in the Bull Run watershed. Either requires a new transmission pipeline to Washington County and is assumed to satisfy municipal needs only. • Irrigation Exchange Pipeline from the Willamette River. Raw water pipeline from the Willamette River pumped for Tualatin Basin agricultural irrigation use. Provided to Tualatin Valley Irrigation District(TVID)in lieu of the Hagg Lake storage making that water available for municipal and in-stream use. WSFS Source Options Evaluation The Washington County Water Manager's Group(WMG)evaluated these options based on criteria developed from prior studies. Comments received from the Tualatin River Watershed Council,Clean Water Advisory Council and the general public also helped shape the following evaluation criteria list. Evaluation Criteria • Cost • Recreation • Institutional and financial • Flood control feasibility • Environmental impact • Legal and regulatory feasibility • Timeliness • Supply reliability . Property rights preservation • Emergency reliability • Security from intentional harm • Efficiency • Water quality The objective of the screening process was to identify source options that rated poorly in terms of their ability to meet the criteria. These source options were not recommended for further WSFS analysis. It should be noted that source options not being carried forward in the WSFS may be revisited in the future. Based on this evaluation,the WMG made the following recommendations for further WSFS detailed analysis. Source Options-Not Recommended for Further Study These options were ruled out,primarily due to high cost or impact to private property: • Stimson Dam—New dam has the advantage of providing same amount of storage as 40 foot Scoggins raise with impacts similar to 20 foot raise and potential for meeting fish passage requirements on a new facility better than retrofit of existing dam. Main disadvantages are high cost per acre foot of new storage compared to the Scoggins Dam raise options,impacts to fish habitat,Stimson operations and relocation of access roads. Water Supp#Feaaiil,Study page 2 Supp#Optima Evaluation Summary • New,in-line tributary storage— Storage sites throughout the basin have been studied for years and have been rejected for multiple reasons including high cost, water availability,feasibility,environmental and property impacts,and water rights conflicts. • Off-line tributary storage—Only useful to meet in stream flow needs. Significant drawbacks include area-intensive footprint,cost and competition with existing land use, and impacts to private property. • Bull Run Dam#3—This source option is being evaluated in a regional context as part of the RWSP Update,now underway. Information will be considered as it becomes available. This source option has the disadvantage of not increasing the diversification of the region's water supplies. Qualitative Assessment of Source Options Not Recommended for Further Evaluation nor Stimson Dam New In-Line Stora Off-Line Stora Bull Run Datil 3 will be evaluated in RWSP U date =good =fair ❑ =poor Source Options That Should Be Components of All Supply Alternatives These options were perceived as strongly positive in one or more evaluation criteria and should be considered as part of any overall water supply strategy. • Water conservation—Reducing per capita demand is an ongoing goal.Water use in the Portland area peaked in the 198o's and has been dropping ever since (estimated to be a 20 percent drop). An 8%Washington County demand reduction assumption has been made for this analysis.Potential supply—7,600 AF/year*** (***based on updated information,the yield is reduced to 5,000 AF/year) Wastewater reuse—Based on Clean Water Service's Recycled Wastewater Master Plan,WSFS assumes that a modest level of reuse will be achieved by 2050. Potential supply—3,5oo AF/year*** (***based on updated information,the yield is reduced to Y,000AF/year) Water Supply Feasibility Study page 3 Supply Options Evaluation Summary • Aquifer storage and recovery—Several Tualatin Basin water providers have tested,or are currently testing,ASR. WSFS assumes,lo MGD will ultimately be developed including 4.5 MGD being developed by Beaverton. Potential supply— 5,50o AF/year(M/I use only). • Near-term Additional Supply from Portland-Assumes that Portland will continue to provide water and that additional water may become available to the Westside by 2020. New transmission pipeline will be required.Potential supply— 9,20o AF/year(M/I use only). Source Options Recommended for Further Study • No Action—This scenario considers the impact of no increase in water supply on flow and water quality,on irrigated agriculture and on municipal/industrial demand in the Basin. • Scoggins Dam Raise(2o feet) —Raise would increase Hagg Lake storage but would not be adequate to meet projected'2050 water needs unless combined with conservation,reuse,and/or ASR. Potential supply—26,50o AF/year. • Scoggins Dam Raise(4o feet)-Raise would increase Hagg Lake storage to meet 2050 projected need. WSFS will study the environmental impacts of any dam raise, as well as impacts to property and park facilities. Potential supply—50,60o AF/year. • Irrigation Exchange Pipeline from the Willamette River—Trading Willamette River water for TVID irrigation supply in Hagg Lake. WSFS will study the engineering feasibility,cost and environmental impacts of the roughly 18 mile irrigation pipeline. Potential supply—25,00o AF/year.(M/I and in-stream use only) Qualitative Assessment of Source Options Recommended for Further Evaluation NNW No Action co ' s Dam Raise-20 .

The Study reviewed the alternatives analysis results of previous water supply studies conducted regionally and within the Tualatin Basin. An additional 5%000-acre-feet of water could be needed by the year 2050. The analysis was a qualitative review process. Sources options were evaluated against a broad range of criteria. The cost criterion is one of the key elements of the alternatives analysis. In some cases, the cost criterion was not the determining factor for maintaining or removing a source option. Costs shown here represent the estimated current capital cost for each option,when available. These cost estimates are accurate to a planning level, which is defined as +50% to —3o%. The following is a review of the estimated costs for the various source options reviewed. Source Options Not Recommended for Further Study These options were ruled out,primarily due to high cost or other key criteria: • Stimson Dam—Downstream of Scoggins Dam and upstream of Stimson o Build a new dam to elevation 313 feet(existing height). • Additional storage yield-11,2oo AF/year ■ Estimated cost -$107 million • Cost per additional storage($per acre-Ft)- $9,590 • Stimson Dam—20 foot raise o Build a new Dam to elevation 333 feet(20 foot increase) ■ Additional storage yield—48,000 AF/year ■ Estimated cost -$153 million ■ Cost per additional storage($per acre-Ft)-$3,188 • New in-line tributary storage— o New dams on Tualatin tributaries(Rock Creek and McKay Creek) ■ Additional Storage yield- 35,000 AF/.year ■ No.cost information developed. ■ Regional Water Supply Plan did not develop cost information ■ Option removed due'-to other evaluation criteria • Off-line tributary storage o Construct storage facilities adjacent to streams for winter diversion or pumping. • No cost information developed ■ Option removed due to other evaluation criteria,such as impacts to private property • BullRun Dam#3 -Portland Water Supply System o Build a third dam in the Bull Run Watershed ■ Additional Storage yield of 58,goo AF/year ■ Estimated cost -$210 million WaterSrppl#Fea ibikty,St4 page 1 Reared Sept.2003 Cort Cntma Rmem Summary ■ Cost per additional storage($per acre-ft.)—$3,566 ■ Option being reviewed as part of the Regional Water Supply Plan Update • Municipal yield reduced 5o %,due to instream flow and ESA requirements ■ Additional transmission and storage facilities would be required for Westside municipal and industrial supply utilization,cost undetermined. Source Options That Should Be Components of All Supply Alternatives These options were perceived as strongly positive in one or more evaluation criteria and should be considered as part of any overall water supply strategy. • Water conservation o Water suppliers Conservation programs ■ Potential supply- 7,600 AF/year*** ■ No cost information currently available ■ Regional Water Supply Plan Update is reviewing programs and costs (**'based on updated information,the yield is reduced to 5,000 AF/year) • Wastewater reuse o Clean Water Services Recycled Wastewater Master Plan-:L992 ■ .

The need for this study was determined through an Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) strategy to ensure adequate water in the Tualatin Basin for instream flow, agricultural irrigation and municipal and industrial demands. The study is evaluating reliable, safe and cost-effective water supply options to provide up to 50,000 acre feet of water by the year 2050. This Update reflects the major steps in the study that have been completed to-date —the scoping process and identifying/receiving input on key source options for further study. Scoping Process: January — February 2002 On December 13, 2001, a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was placed in the Federal Register by the US Bureau of Reclamation, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The first step in preparing an EIS is called Scoping, a process of information-gathering relevant to the study, including important resources, opportunities and constraints. Scoping is accomplished through notification and provision of opportunities to comment on the study. For the WSFS, the Scoping process was intended to inform stakeholders and the general public about proposed evaluation criteria and a range of source options to be studied and to solicit their initial feedback. A notice for four (4) scoping meetings was distributed with a fact sheet to a combined mailing list of about 1500 developed by Clean Water Services. The list included Hagg Lake property owners, environmental groups, elected officials, CPOs, businesses and interested citizens. A press release was distributed to all area newspapers announcing the scoping meetings. The notice was printed in The Oregonian. Scoping meetings were held on January 8 from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm at a Clean Water Services facility in Hillsboro and January 9 from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm at Metro in downtown Portland. A total of 23 people attended the scoping meetings. Comment cards were distributed at the meetings and four comment cards were received. A Scoping Report summarizing the process with copies of all materials and comments was prepared by the project consultant (Montgomery Watson Harza) and distributed to the Water Managers Group who serve as the technical staff from each partner city/district for the project. Most comments were consistent with previous comments from meetings and other communications, with several questions about Hagg Lake as a source. Other comments were received via e-mail. 1 Meetings with Key Stakeholder Groups Tualatin River Watershed Council Tom VanderPlaat attended the January meeting to provide an update and receive comments from this group about the evaluation criteria. Clean Water Services Advisory Commission (CWAC) In January, Clean Water Services staff attended the commission and presented an update on the study process and comments. Coordination with Hagg Lake Resource Management Plan (RMP) Clean Water Services staff attended an open house for the Hagg Lake RMP and provided fact sheets, comment cards and other information. Regulatory Agencies Clean Water Services staff held a meeting for regulatory agencies to provide an overview and solicit comments on the study. Agencies attending included Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), Corps of Engineers, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Oregon Dept. of State Lands (ODSL). A summary of the meeting is contained in the project file. Summary of Issues from Scoping Concerns about raising Scoggins Dam as a supply option, including: • impacts home owners around Hagg Lake including geologic impacts • impacts to wetlands, fish and wildlife and upstream tributaries • whether the dam is structurally sound enough to hold the additional volume of water and whether it is seismically sound Concerns about building a pipeline from the Willamette River, including: • impacts to natural resources from construction • inefficient use of water due to annual energy cost to pump it, cost to build it and uncertainty of its availability because of senior water rights • impacts from mixing the water with local water on fish and other habitat • concern that the Willamette River water would be used exclusively for irrigation and not for drinking and assurance that the water is safe for irrigation of crops Questions and comments about conservation and reuse, including: • important that the public (homeowners, businesses, golf courses and farmers) practices water conservation • need for a thorough analysis of both voluntary and mandatory measures • need to examine reuse of treated effluent as a strategy to reduce temperature loading and provide irrigation source • what types of conservation would be recommended? • what amount of total supply could be attained with conservation and reuse? 2 Comments about aquifer storage and recovery, including: • need to do analysis to identify suitable aquifers • what are the impacts to ground water, neighboring wells and historic hydrologic function? Comment that the study should identify options for restoration of the watershed in addition to options for water supply—they are inter-related. Concern about building in-channel water detention facilities as a supply option because of the impacts to fish and wildlife. Concern about water rights and need to insure that farmers who wish to continue to irrigate will be able to do so. Concern that the study is promoting growth by projecting a larger water need rather than seeking ways to discourage growth. .Source Options Review: April 2002 — May 2003 Water managers proposed three key source options and several other source options to reach a total need of 50,000 acre feet. Public involvement for this step included meetings with key stakeholders and community groups, newsletter articles and accompanying public information materials - a 2002 Spring Update, frequently asked questions, source option display and survey. Key stakeholder groups Hagg Lake neighbors 2002: Staff from the study met with 26 residents of the Hagg Lake area in June to present the proposed key source options and preliminary information on road relocation. Maps of the proposed road relocation were distributed to those whose property was impacted. A summary of the meeting is contained in the project file. Individual meetings were held with six (6)with property owners to answer specific questions. Letters were sent in November to 23 owners directly adjacent to the lake to determine their interest in using a surveyor to measure approximate water levels on individual properties with a dam raise. 2003:" Staff met with one property owner who had submitted a petition with 80 signatures opposing the 40-foot.dam raise to discuss concerns and ideas. A separate meeting was held with six (6) property owners to discuss specific concerns and a third meeting with a property owner wanting general information } Tualatin River Watershed Council 2002: Staff attended the June and December meetings to provide an update and receive comments from this group about the key source options being recommended for further study. Members of the group were asked to take the web survey and provide individual feedback about the source options. 200= . q§takeholder group was asked to respond to the thre proposed keysource options by voting whether to continue studying them. The council was not unanimous but the majority recommended continuing to stud the three key source options. n s. J Y 9 Y Y p , ... ,. 3 Clean Water Services Advisory Commission (CWAC) 2002: Updates about the study were provided by mail in June, including a web survey about the source options that CWAC was asked to assist in testing and revising. In November, Clean Water Services staff attended the commission and presented an update on the study process and survey responses. 2003: In February, CWAC heard the public response to key source options and public comments from a Hagg Lake neighbor who submitted'a petition with 80 signatures opposing the 40-foot dam raise and suggested alternative dam sites. Staff, coordinated a tour of Hagg Lake and Scaggins Dam requested by CWAC.. xy � ,, Public Information on Key Source Options 2002 • Clean Water Connection to 9,000 (elected officials, stakeholder groups, Friends Groups, CPOs) • Article in CPO newsletters • Article in Westside Economic Alliance newsletter • Article in billing insert to all customers in Sept/Oct and Nov/Dec (Water Words - 50,000) • Water Supply Study display sites (all partner facilities, libraries, PCC, Pacific University) • Events (Crawfish Festival, Washington County Fair, Hillsboro Tuesday Market) • Web site page with overview of the study, survey and all public information materials • Presentations to 16 civic, environmental and citizen participation organizations including Beaverton CCI, Tigard CIT, Washington County CCT, Hillsboro Leadership team, Forest-" Grove Rotary and Tualatin Riverkeepers • Article promoting web survey in City of Beaverton and City of Tualatin newsletter • Newsletter (67page)to 1,0,000 including Clean Water Services list and CPO lists 2002 Web Survey and Display A survey was designed to obtain feedback through the internet about the key source options, other source options and criteria for the water supply study. A limitation of the web survey is that it is NOT scientific and therefore the results are not a representative sample. There is no assurance that responses are not duplicated. The web survey went online in August 2002 on the Water Supply Feasibility Study page of the Clean Water Services web site. At the same time the web survey was promoted, the was also available at sites with a P survey display describing the source options. The display was scheduled for consecutive weeks (see details in the chronology at the end of this report)at events, libraries, colleges and local partner buildings from August through November. Total number of responses to both the web survey and display surveys as of November 18, 2002 was 102. Many respondents made additional comments, especially on the web survey. 2003 Web"Surve' l�� Y' p Articles in January 2003 newsletters to promote web survey: "Your City" (City of Beaverton) and City of Tualatin newsletter F s, 4 1'0 Ifil .n ri ,S's y +r. �" '4- ) �¢'' ?. ,1 i Ltal. ponses from web survey 129 Web survey 129 responses (most from reading Clean Water Connection, Water Words and TRWC; zip codes are Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Aloha — includes stakeholders and general public) Events/display 37 responses (most from Hillsboro, Beaverton, some Portland —students and general public) TOTAL: 166 Summary of comments • No particular source option received significantly stronger support than any other • A majority of respondents can accept or"live with" any of the three key source options. • There is a slight preference for the 20 foot dam raise over the 40 foot dam raise. • Many people have reiterated their support for conservation measures to reduce the demand for water. • Respondents are concerned with meeting water quality standards and maintaining a reliable water supply with few environmental impacts. Key Source Options Questions/Concerns Dam raise: • what are impacts to wetlands • how is fish passage addressed • need fair compensation to residents who are impacted • need for more data before comparing or making a preference • recreational features should be enhanced Pipeline: • impacts of removing water from the Willamette River • impacts on water quality • fewer environmental impacts than dam raise • opposed to using Willamette water on food crops Other Source Options Survey respondents selected conservation as one of the two most important other sources. Portland supply and wastewater reuse were also selected as important. Level of Criteria Importance Respondents rated "meeting water quality standards" the highest in importance, and "reliability of supply" as the second highest. "Ability to withstand catastrophes" and "protecting from intentional harm" were also ranked high. 5 Additional factors to consider in selecting key source options: • Impact of silting • Compatible with overall restoration of watershed • Diversifies water sources • Encourages conservation • Protects instream flow for aquatic species and ecosystem functions • Support sound land and water conservation efforts • Progressive rate structures to induce conservation • Less susceptible to cyclic drought years and climate changes • Meets longterm supply needs General survey comments: • Waiting will cost many times more...now is the time to be wise and expand our water sources • Conservation through wise use and low impact on the land is the best way to go • Price water fairly to all users and develop more programs to encourage conservation • Do not consider any further the use of the Willamette water for drinking or agricultural purposes until the political will is there to fully return this river to the condition in which our pioneers found it. gigp 6 ti Listing of Presentations and Publications - 2002 Hagg Lake Property owner Meetings Feb 25 Bill Stoller Tom V, Jeanna C June 4 John Kelly Tom V June 13 all residents for Source Options update Tom V, Jeanna C, BoR July 3 Doug Hogue about road relocation Tom V, Jeanna C June 26 Dan & Beth Irwin about road relocation Tom V Sept 23 John Heistad, John Kelly—survey prep Tom V Dec 3 Doris & Larry Beman—general information Tom V, Jeanna C 7 Public Presentations on Water Supply Feasibility Study Scoping January 8 2 Scoping Meetings, Water Quality Lab Tom V, Lisa O, Jeanna C, BoR January 9 2 Scoping Meetings, Metro Jeanna C, Lisa O, BoR January 9 Tualatin River Watershed Council Tom V January 17 Hagg Lake RMP open house Tom V, Jeanna C January 18 Joint Water Commission Tom V February 6 Tigard Open House Tom V, Lisa O, Jeanna C, BoR February 15 Regulatory agencies Tom V, Lisa O, Jeanna C, BoR February 21 Washington County Parks Advisory Board Tom V Source Options May 21 CCI (representatives from all CPOs) Jack Franklin (CWAC member) May 30 WA County League of Women Voters Mark Jockers June 3 Congressional staff: tour of Hagg Lake Tom V June 5 Tualatin River Watershed Council Tom V, Jeanna C July 11 West Beaverton NAC Jeanna C July 12 Washington County Elected Officials update Chair Tom Brian, staff Aug 16 Senator Wyden staff: tour of Hagg Lake Tom V Aug 29 Westside Economic Alliance Chair Tom Brian Sept 16 Cornelius: amend contract Tom V Sept 17 Tigard: amend contract Tom V Sept 18 TVWD: amend contract Tom V Oct 7 Beaverton: amend contract Tom V Nov 1 Senator Smith staff: watershed tour Tom V November 12 WA County Soil &Water Conservation District Tom V November 20 CWAC—update and process review Jeanna C, Tom V December 3 TRWC - update and process review Jeanna C, Tom V December 26 Beaverton Optimists Club Jeanna C Source Options Display and Survey July 25-28 Washington County Fair Aug 5—9 Tualatin Library & Crawfish festival Aug 12— 16 Hillsboro Public Service Bldg, Tuesday Market Aug 17 & 18 North Plains Garlic Festival Aug 19—23 TVWD Aug 26—30 Tigard City Hall Sept 3—6 Beaverton Library Sept 9— 13 Beaverton City Hall Sept 16—20 Forest Grove library Sept 23—27 Cornelius City Hall/Library Oct 21 - Nov 8 PCC Rock Creek Nov 11 —25 Pacific University Related Newspaper Articles and Broadcast Coverage January 7 The Oregonian Community Snapshot-"water study meetings" January 16 Forest Grove News Times "Hagg Lake raise topic of meeting" (RMP) January 24 Forest Grove News Times "Planning for the Future" (RMP and WSFS) January 31 Tigard Times "Clean Water Services sets Water Supply Meeting" June 10 The Oregonian Community Snapshot—"Hagg Lake Meeting" 8 June 12 Forest Grove News Times "Hagg Lake meeting set" June 19 Forest Grove News Times "Engineering not the only problem in securing water" June 20 The Oregonian "Future a worry for Hagg Lake neighbors" June 27 Tigard Times "Search for water supply options goes deeper" Sept 19 The Oregonian "Tunnel to Tualatin River considered" Newsletter Articles February 2002 newsletters for Washington County CPOs-WSFS Fact Sheet and notice for Tigard open house February 2002 Tigard Cityscape—Finding enough water to meet future demand July 2002 newsletters for Washington County CPOs—Tualatin Water Supply Feasibility Study Identifies Source Options Summer 2002 Clean Water Connection(Clean Water Services newsletter)—Tualatin Basin Water Supply Study Proposes Key Water Sources, Studying the Major Source Options Sept/October Water Words (TVWD &Clean Water Services billing insert)—.Planning for Future Water Supply Nov/Dec Water Words—Tell us your ideas about future water supply options 2001 Public Presentations of IWRM Overview and Water Supply Feasibility Study February 15 CPO 3(W.Slope/R.

The amount of credit has been calculated to be $549.32 using the existing credit for leak policy outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code (TMC). The TMC requires approval by the Intergovernmental Water Board when a credit is over $500. However, in this case, the customer is also requesting additional credit citing that the initial billing dated June 25, 2003 indicating higher usage was never received and did not become aware of the high usage until she received a past due/shut off notice on August 7, 2003. At that time, the customer called the billing office and someone was sent out to the property and determined that indeed there was a problem. The customer has indicated that a friend promptly repaired the leak once discovered. Please see the attached letter from the customer requesting additional credit. I reviewed the account based on the comments from the customer and found the following: 1. A report was generated on June 20, 2003 indicating higher than normal usage on this account. The bill for$450.80 was manually pulled and mailed separately from the rest of the billing group along with a high usage letter. The customer has indicated that they did not receive this bill or high usage letter. (Attachment A) 2. An urgent notice was mailed to the customer on August 4, 2003. 3. The customer called on August 7 and a Public Works staff person went out to the property to check for a leak. Please see Service Request Detail dated August 7, 2003. Public Works staff found that there was a problem with the irrigation system and explained to customer that it would be their responsibility to repair. (Attachment B) 4. Another billing was mailed on August 20, 2003 in the amount of$1,302.44. A high usage letter was not sent with this billing because staff knew that the customer was obviously aware of the high usage from the phone call on August 7, 2003. The total billing for both cycles now amounted to $1,753.24. 5. Attachment C is a copy of the account history showing consumption. If you have any questions regarding this item, please feel free to call me at 503-718- 2488. 09/16/2003 13:10 FAX 503 630 1471 CM_OF TIGMW Q001 REQUEST FOR ADJUSTMENT DUE TO A, LEAK The City of Tigard has a policy of issuiung partial credits for leaks that are repaired in a timely manner. The city expects leaks to be repaired within ten days of discovery. Credits are based on your average usage for the same period in previous years. This average is deducted from the total consumption used during the time of the leak. The excess usage is charged at the wholesale rate of water,with the difference between wholesale and resale cost deducted from the utility account as the Credit for Leak Please desen'be the specific circumstances of your request:_ 1 "hy—Si-- ;eh�OA e5h t title:%) Yl;t` G1.0 ` f 1� �� lin i � I.C,r � (�, L V c��� �(-tt,t-Cy r•l, I`d !ri 1)CCA cr l LLC;U(6k ha trP� , ( ; [chi IrCC Iry ,P�12i CCal i E214-1-AA J rKA 1 J i•�C i- ','1!-n le 414 1L1P4i,tr �rl.� /� (�/y � 7�U— / u 1(('1'GY , l tr '�LUQ I✓CTtl.-t'�t� `t`ly2 BlCt J a &A s Un i Yl Gam( -Date leak found: I,-_2, C>3._ '"nom- h41kL I-)Cu}C. rr, Date leak repaired-_&j 4A I'% �,�,fr , Accountit: PLEASE SEND LETTER +wy Lim, � � r.

This facility is proposed to be 150 feet tall, and serve only the Police and Fire communications systems, and is not a commercial-installation. WCCCA has held an informational meeting with the neighborhood and has met numerous times with City staff. It appears that staff's concerns regarding security and avoiding a negative operational impact on the water facilities can be met. The neighborhood meeting was well attended and the desire of the neighbors to avoid cutting existing trees to build the tower has been met. Because of the size of the material packet this information is being distributed to you now for action at your November meeting. At that meeting a WCCCA representative will be present to explain the project and answer any questions. Since WCCCA is not the owner of this property, the IWB will be asked to approve a motion to authorize WCCCA to proceed with fling their land use application. If WCCCA is successful in obtaining a land use permit, staff will return to the Board for final approval of the lease agreement. li SW CANTERBURY LANE f".

CCA M + aEA Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency PROJECT MEMORANDUM TO: Chief Ron Goodpaster, Tigard Police FROM: John Hartsock,Project Manager DATE: September 3,2002 RE: Public Safety Radio System Expansion—Canterbury Lane Site Per your request the following outlines WCCCA's need for the Canterbury Lane radio site. Attached to this memo is an outline of the current Communications Upgrade project which is being funded by the voter approved levy passed in November 2000. This outline provides a perspective on the entire project.we are currently implementing. The most significant portion of the project is the upgrade and enhancement of the 800MHz public safety radio system. The current radio system, installed in 1992,was designed with 4 simulcast radio sites: Parrot Mtn, Sherwood;Bald Peak and Gales Peak, Washington County; and Council Crest, Portland to serve the County. This design was based on coverage predictions and budget constraints at the time. The engineering input at the time was that the four"high" sites ringing the County would provide adequate coverage. We have subsequently determined from user agency input, field surveys, and extensive coverage predictions studies that additional sites are required to provide adequate radio coverage. The areas of Tigard, Tualatin,Beaverton, and Hillsboro require additional sites to enhance radio system operations. Areas in Tigard along Highway 217,Bonita Road,Highway 99, I5, and Washington Square Mall in particular have lacked adequate radio coverage and have been a significant concern.. Motorola, our system vendor, through further engineering work and experience in other systems has determined that the"high" site concept though providing good general coverage is inadequate for dense urban areas. There recommendation is that we add additional sites lower and more closely related the radio traffic needs. The partnership between WCCCA and Clackamas County on the joint 800MHz public safety radio system will dramatically enhance the coverage in the Tigard, Tualatin area, specifically in the I5 /217 area and along 217. This project is just now coming on line with the Cooks Butte PO Box 6375 • Beaverton Oregon 97907 a (503) 690-4911 "F.rn-Monro. In Fmervancv!',nmmunicntinnc" Chief Ron Goodpaster Page 2 September 3, 2002 site in Lake Oswego, which will enhance the Washington County area the most, scheduled for early 2003. It has been determined that though this will help Tigard's radio needs it will not answer all the questions. Motorola's engineers and the technical staff at WCCCA have spent considerable time in studying the potential sites which would achieve the goals of enhancing and improving coverage in the County and specifically in the City of Tigard. The terrain of the County dictates that we need to identify sites which provide coverage to the greatest area while not being blocked by the adjacent terrain. The sites that they have chosen which provide the most advantages coverage while being able to minimize the number of sites are: Canterbury Lane in Tigard; Witch Hazel in Hillsboro; Burntwood in Beaverton; and the relocation of the Council Crest site to Cedar Mill at Highway 26 and 217.. The Canterbury Lane site has adequate elevation to maximize coverage and it provides the best solution to improve radio operations in key spots within Tigard. The team did produce coverage predictions utilizing other sites for Tigard including Nansen Summit; Cooper Mtn;Bull Mtn; and others. None of these other sites provide as good a solution as did the Canterbury Lane site. We fully understand the Cities concern about communications structures and in particular the significance of this site and the surrounding area. We feel however that we can locate this tower within the large trees on the Canterbury Lane site thus masking its appearance as much as possible. This site is critical to improved public safety communications and thus requests the City's consideration of this use. It additional information or a presentation is required please advise. IWCCC Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency 9-1-1 Communications System — Wireless Enhancement Project September 3,2002 The Washington County Board of Commissioners included a WCCCA requested public safety communications upgrade project in the November 2000 voter approved Public Safety Levy. The WCCCA Board determined the need for this communications upgrade project through the work of a Blue Ribbon Committee appointed by the Board. The members of the Blue Ribbon Committee were: Bill Monahan,City of Tigard;Helen Cain,City of Tualatin;Virgie Reis,City of Forest Grove; Rob Massar,City of Hillsboro;and David Maertens,Washington County. The Board charged the Committee to determine the issue and make a recommendation. The Committee,based on user agency and WCCCA staff input,determine the required upgrades to.maintain WCCCA's mission. ISSUE: The ability of Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency(WCCCA) to continue to provide the level of 9-1-1 emergency communications services required by the member agencies and the citizens of Washington County. The most significant technical challenge facing WCCCA today is the need to expand and upgrade equipment and systems to maintain technologically current solutions. It is important to avoid obsolescence and have the ability to enhance and maintain these vital systems and equipment. WCCCA strives to maximize technology to minimize staff and increase efficiencies. PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES: Voice Radio System: ❖ Update to the `SmartZone' technology similar to the seamless type service on cellular telephones. Improved interoperability with the Portland,Clark County, and Marion County systems, as well as the new Clackamas County system currently under development. PO Box 6375 • Beaverton, Oregon 97907 a (503)690-4911 "FrrPAmrv. Tn Fmeroanry r6mmunirntinm" • ' Chief Ron Goodpaster Page 4 September 3,2002 ❖ Upgrade of existing base station radios and related microwave equipment from analog to digital-capable equipment due to manufacture discontinued production of the current equipment,and technology advances. ❖ Improved radio coverage and quality within the most populated areas of the County. o Addition of 3 new simulcast radio sites and relocation of an existing site in the urban part of the County. o Upgrade of 2 existing standalone sites to simulcast technology and the addition of 1 new site in the west end of the County. ❖ Expansion of the microwave system that is utilized to communicate between the sites and back to WCCCA. ❖ Construction of new radio sites,which includes buildings,towers,battery systems,and emergency generators. Data Radio System: ❖ Addition of new radios on existing and new sites developed for the voice system to improve coverage and availability of mobile data. Paging Radio System: ❖ Addition of new radios on existing and new sites developed for the voice system to improve coverage and availability of paging coverage countywide. BACKGROUND: Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency(WCCCA),is an ORS 190 organization formed in the fall of 1990 to provide 9-1-1 call answering and public safety dispatch for all of Washington County, except the City of Forest Grove which maintains its own 9-1-1 call answering and Police dispatch. WCCCA serves 12 law enforcement agencies, and 7 fire/EMS agencies,which are: Law Enforcement Fire/EMS Washington County Sheriff's Office City of Banks Police Department City of Beaverton,Police Department Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue City of Hillsboro Police Department City of Hilsboro Fire Department City of Cornelius Police Department Washington County Fire District#2 City of North Plains Police Department City of Forest Grove Fire Department City of Gaston Police Department Tri-Cities Fire Department City of Tigard Police Department City of Cornelius Fire Department City of Tualatin Police Department City of Gaston Fire Department City of Sherwood Police Department City of Durham City of King City Police Department 9-1-1 Communications System—Wireless Enhancement Project Page 4 SMtemher 3. 2007. Chief Ron Goodpaster Page 2 September 3,2002 WCCCA is governed by a Board of Directors(Board)made up of one elected or appointed member(an alternate)from each jurisdictional member,with equal voting shares,which meets quarterly. The Board appoints a five member Executive Board(E Board),which meets monthly to oversee.the agency's policy and financial operations. WCCCA's FY 02-03 budget is $7.7M that is funded through:user fees of$4.3M; 9-1-1 telephone taxes collected by the State of Oregon of$1.8M; and miscellaneous income from operations and a beginning fund balance. The Agency employs 57 dispatchers and 19 administrative and support personnel. In 2001 WCCCA: ❖ ANSWERED 500,980-9-1-1 and NON-EMERGENCY CALLS ❖ DISPATCHED 443,175—POLICE CALLS ❖ DISPATCHED 38,768—FIRE/EMS CALLS This work effort expands each year primarily due to population growth,which over the last ten years has averaged 4%per year. This kind of growth challenges the personnel and systems in place to maintain a high level of service to the Citizens and Public Safety personnel in Washington County. Since 1989,when WCCCA last upgraded its technology and facilities,the following factors have occurred: ❖ COUNTY POPULATION HAS INCREASED 40% •e• 9-1-1 CALLS HAVE INCREASED 69% •e• CALLS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIRE/EMS HAVE INCREASED 55% (This includes 9-1-1 Calls,non-emergency calls, and officer initiated activity i.e. community policing) ❖ DISPATCH STAFF HAS INCREASED 20% ❖ TECHNOLOGY HAS IMPROVED AND ADVANCED ❖ EQUIPMENT HAS OR IS BECOMING OBSOLETE (Technology Enhancements and Upgrades) . ❖ MEMBER AGENCY OPERATIONAL NEEDS HAVE CHANGED • STAFFING LEVELS • COMMUNITY POLICING • FIRE RESPONSE METHODS •e• ENHANCED INTERAGENCY COOPERATION AND RESPONSE TO EMERGENCIES •S MORE SOPHISTICATED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING •e• GROWTH HAS DICTATED A BROADER RADIO COMMUNICATIONS COVERAGE 9-1-1 Communications System—Wireless Enhancement Project Page 2 September 3,2002 WCCCA is the second largest dispatch center in the state and a model for cooperation and consolidated operation. Its level of service is the highest and its cost of providing service to its users is the lowest in the metropolitan area. The Agency's mission statement is: "EXCELLENCE INEMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS The Agency's Goals Are: ❖ Provide the highest level of service possible to assure protection of the public. ❖ Dispatch appropriate responders to all calls for service in a timely manner. ❖ Provide and maintain effective telephone,radio,and computer communications equipment. HISTORY OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMIVIUNCIATIONS IN WASHINGTON COUNTY: In 1988,public safety communications in Washington County was a somewhat confusing situation. The ten police agencies,the sheriff,ten fire agencies, and three emergency medical agencies,were served by three 9-1-1 centers for call answering and four dispatch agencies. Those providing 9-1-1 call answering and dispatch were Tigard,Tualatin Fire,Forest Grove,and Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency(WCCCA). It was determined that: ❖ Most of the public safety agencies could not communicate with one another due to differing radio frequencies and equipment; •:° Call taking and dispatch times were slow and resulted in delaying emergency response; ❖ Citizen calls were transferred to various agencies to provide service; ❖ Only basic 9-1-1 was being offered to the citizens in lieu of enhanced,i.e.,the ability of the 9-1- 1 operator to receive address and telephone number information automatically; ❖ Lack of adequate facilities and technology to provide appropriate service to the citizens and public safety personnel of the County. WCCCA,developed a plan to resolve these issues which included: ❖ Consolidation of Public Safety Answering Points(PSAP's) for 9-1-1 calls and dispatch centers in a new facility to house the consolidated organization. ❖ Implementation of Enhanced 9-1-1 for the County. ❖ Development of a new radio system countywide to allow cross communication and growth,as well as improved coverage and reliability. ❖ DeveIopment of the computer aided dispatch system(CAD)to improve dispatch time, accuracy, and reporting. 9-1-1 Communications System—Wireless Enhancement Project Page 3 September 3,2002 ❖ Development of a mobile data terminal system,i.e., computer terminals in the public safety vehicles,to improve dispatch time and information reporting. ❖ Development of a new radio paging system for fire and EMS users to improve dispatch time, coverage and reliability. ❖ Irnprovement of geographical map development for fire dispatch and reporting needs. The plan was completed in 1990 and recommendations prepared with the total cost of the project being $16.6 million. The County took the lead agency role and placed the issue before the voters. In August 1990,by a 60 to 40 margin,the voters approved a three-year serial levy. PROJECT ACHIEVEMENTS: Significant improvements set as a part of the long-range plan were achieved: ❖ 9-1-1 call answering average speed to be 5 seconds or less, 95%of the time. ❖ Reduce the dispatch time of 90%of priority 1 calls from 3 minutes 25 seconds for law enforcement and 1 minute 45 seconds for fire EMS to 1 minute. ❖ Development and implementation of a countywide public safety radio system. ❖ Reduction in radio airtime of 45%due to the use of Mobile Data Computers. ❖ Stabilization of work force expansion due to added technology. Though added staff has been required due to population increases it is considerably less due to the implementation of the technology additions. CURRENT ISSUES: "The most significant technical challenge facing WCCCA today is the need to upgrade equipment and systems to maintain technologically current solutions. It is important to avoid obsolescence and have the ability to maintain these vital systems and equipment" As with all technology,the Washington County radio system being no exception,it ages and becomes obsolete. Obsolescence manifests itself as software and hardware being no longer available,technical support becomes difficult, components do not perform as needed,and the system dose not meet the operating expectations of the users. There are also issues relating to coverage of the radio system or more importantly,the lack of coverage of the radio system. This occurs in significant portions of the County that were not covered with the current system, due to technology and/or available funds or were unpopulated when the current system was developed. Some of the more significant areas are: Highway 26 at the West end of the County (high traffic counts);Highway 8 (high traffic counts);Tiffany Court Apartments,Tigard(high crime activity—gang—domestic—drugs);Washington Square Mall(high concentration of.citizens); and inside large office and retail buildings. There are significant needs for system coverage improvements to maximize citizen and officer safety. Technology Direction:Fully digital and/or satellite public safety communications systems are still significantly(8 to 10 years)into the future. Though the equipment we would purchase now is digitally capable and upgradeable,there is much of what we own that isn't and will have to be replaced when the technology is developed. 9-I-1 Communications System—Wireless Enhancement Project Page 4 September 3,2002 Who Benefits from the Upgrades:All of the current WCCCA radio system users will benefit by the proposed enhancements. Though the large countywide agencies,Sheriff and TVF&RR,will receive the most overall benefit it does improve what Hillsboro,Tigard,Tualatin,Beaverton, Forest Grove, Sherwood, Cornelius or even North Plains, Gaston, or King City will get from the system. Therefore the Countywide levy will be an equitable distribution of cost to.benefit as in the original levy. PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES: Voice Radio System will be updated to the Sm.artZone technology. This allows the system to utilize multiple zones within one system in a seamless manner, similar to the cellular telephone system. This also improves interoperability with the Portland,Clark County and Marion County systems,as well as the new Clackamas County system currently under development. Upgrade of existing base station radios to allow compatibility with the new equipment and allow the conversion to digital technology in the future. Motorola no longer offers the current base station radios, and replacement and repair will become more difficult in the near future. Upgrade of channel bank communications equipment to improve performance and compatibility with the new equipment. Addition of a second simulcast control system to allow the utilization of two simulcast systems to provide coverage for the County. This will improve coverage and quality within the most populated areas of the County and resolves many of the user issues. Additions of 3 new simulcast sites to serve the most populated portions of the County, Canterbury Lane in Tualatin;Burntwood in Beaverton;and Which Hazel in Hillsboro. The relocation of the Council Crest site in Portland to Cedar Hills intended to improve coverage in Highway 26,Highway 217 area. The upgrade of 2 existing standalone sites to simulcast technology at Round Top and Buxton and the addition of a site at Pumpkin Ridge intended to expand and enhance coverage of the system in the west County. The addition of these radio sites will require the expansion of the microwave system that is utilized to communicate between the sites and back to WCCCA. The addition of these sites also requires the construction of the sites,which includes buildings,towers,battery systems, and emergency generators. Data Radio System: Addition of 5 new radios on existing and new sites developed for the voice system. This will improve coverage and availability of mobile data. Paging Radio System: Addition of 5 new radios on existing and new sites developed for the voice system. This will improve coverage and availability of paging coverage countywide. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is budgeted at$13.9M. This budget projection is based upon a partnership between WCCCA and Clackamas County in which the new Clackamas system, now under development,will provide radio coverage enhancements into Washington County. In return WCCCA will provide use of their system controller and management of the Clackamas system. This partnership creates a regional solution to radio issues, and reduces capital and operating costs for both entities. 9-1-1 Communications System—Wireless Enhancement Project Page 5 September 3,2002 Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (WCCCA) 800 MHz Trunked Radio System Phase II Expansion: Site Selection Process by Motorola I. RF coverage Design Methodology: A.Area of Operation,Level of Service,and Subscriber Radio Information: The Motorola customer initially describes the geographic perimeters for desired radio operation, the level of service required within each perimeter,and the subscriber radio types and operational usage.In the case of WCCCA,the Washington County boundary was the general limiting guideline:However,sub-perimeters were described which outlined"Central' and "West End"sub-systems,and differentiated between levels of service for mobile and portable coverage. For public safety radio systems, the level of service is based upon a Motorola"delivered audio quality"rating of three(DAQ3), and a suggested area reliability(CPC Contour reliability)of 95%and a(CPC Area reliability)of 97%.Motorola designs for Area Reliability and conducts CATPs (coverage acceptance test plans)to validate Area Reliability. Subscriber radio types and operational usage information is required to identify transmitter and receiver specifications,antenna types,and how the radios will actually be used or worn in the field. In the case of WCCCA,mobile coverage maps were based upon MCS series mobile specifications with a standard roof-mount antenna,and upon NITS series portables with a'/2 wave dipole antenna(receive on the hip and transmit at head level). R Topographic Projection: Utilizing the Motorola HYDRA computer application tool,engineering creates raised topographic projection maps on-screen in conjunction with the customer perimeter information. An initial comparison is made between desirable high points on the topographic maps and the desired perimeter,keeping in mind fading and signal strength loss characteristics for the particular frequency band of operation,in this case 800 MHz.Existing known sites in and around the customer-defined perimeter are reviewed and taken into account. From this information,the first groupings of potential sites are noted.HYDRA default values are interleaved with customer requirements(area of operation,level of service, and subscriber . radio information)to generate initial fixed network equipment ratings and subscriber radio field operational characteristics. The coordinates and elevations of initial potential sites are run on HYDRA utilizing the above data;then applicable coverage from each site is examined and cross-correlated. Initial sites are accepted or rejected,with an emphasis on site groupings that achieve the best coverage in high profile areas,while looking'for combinations that require the least quantity of sites.The fust list of potential site locations is then generated and saved temporarily for the next step. C.Existing Sites and Customer Perimeter Drive-around: Armed with both existing and potential site location data,a"site search"drive-around is conducted throughout the coverage area to visually determine the accessibility and viability of each known existing site and each new potential site.Lastly,previously undocumented existing RF sites spotted in the area are noted and cataloged using a GPS receiver. D. Sites"Washing' Process: The collected field data is used to generate the second iteration of temporary coverage map models,using the HYDRA tool.This process involves the comparisons of multiple site overlays,and how sites and required coverage relate to each other.Antenna patterns are then reviewed and adjusted carefully at each site for optimal coverage(esp.for interaction with adjacent sites). The impact of tower height on coverage is also modeled,but is balanced out against drive-around visuals of local foliage, structures, and land use. The top two or three combined coverage map series are then modeled,with a purposeful preference for utilization of existing RF sites over un-improved new potential sites.Motorola SmartZone trunking systems can utilize simulcast site groups as subsystems,IntelliRepeater (trunked)standalone sites as subsystems, and conventional fill-in repeater sites(usually for sparse outlying areas). Reality checks are inserted into this process to make sure that potential site groupings and standalone site solutions pass another sanity check for cost effectiveness and for undesirable coverage overlap redundancies. E.Sites Recommendations Deliverables: The next step is to get customer feedback in deciding that the quantity and location of sites modeled provides adequate coverage for their users within the plan of the.original system criteria.A simple dossier is generated for each site in each subsystem, and initial infrastructure requirements are blocked in. The following typical RF coverage design engineering factors(from Motorola Coverage Standards)are considered in the site acquisition and coverage determination process: 1. Reliability Predictions: Suggested Public Safety Area Reliability percentages 2. Delivered Audio Quality:Public Safety recommended ratings 3. Subscriber Receiver Sensitivities and Transmitter Specifications:mobile and portable types,antenna types,operational usage specs. 4. Fixed Infrastructure Transmission and Reception systems:Receiver antennas and multicoupler networks;Transmission antenna and combiner networks;base station/ repeater types. 5.

WCCCA Sites Selection Process: A.Existing Sites: The existing WCCCA 800 MHz trunked radio system consists of a group of four(4)sites, configured to work together as a single integraied simulcast trunked radio system. These existing sites are as follows: 1. Parrett Mt.site:located at the east tip of the Chehalem Mountains overlooking Sherwood to the north and Wilsonville to the south. 2. Council Crest site: located at the eastern apex of the West Hills,overlooking the City of Portland to the north and Tualatin to the south. 3. Gales Peak site: located on a mountain ridge overlooking Haag Lake to the south and Forest Grove to the east. 4. Bald Peak site: located at the center of the Chehalem Mountains overlooking Beaverton and Cornelius to the north and Newberg to the south. B.Proposed Sites: Four(4)new proposed sites are configured to work together with three(3)of the existing simulcast trunked sites to provide more uniform coverage and-critical penetration into the growing high traffic areas of central and eastern Washington County.The existing Council Crest site infrastructure will be removed and replaced functionally by the proposed Cedar Hills site.These are the proposed sites as follows: 1.Cedar Hills site: Co-located with multiple cellular sites in a commercial zone in Cedar Hills at the junction of Highway 26 and Highway 217 with West Haven to the north and Beaverton to the south. This site was selected because of numerous existing coverage depressions in residential areas to the immediate East and southeast of the proposed site,and to improve portable coverage penetration into new mixed commercial and residential zones to Aloha west along Highway 26 and the high traffic northeastern half of Beaverton. Existing site/tower re-usage. This location includes a tight cluster of four existing cellular sites.Geographically speaking,any of the four existing locations will provide virtually identical coverage. The problem is tower height at existing cellular sites.None of the towers_in that cluster exceed 60', and a minimum 150'tower is needed to provide the needed public safety coverage penetration required. Cellular systems sites are spaced closely,relying heavily upon large quantities of low-lying sites and heavy WCCCA Site Selection Page 3 September 2003 frequency re-usage to achieve acceptable wide area coverage. WCCCA sites are few,and are by necessity spread far,apart,depending heavily upon tower height(in relation to surrounding foliage,protrusions, and structures)to achieve needed coverage. 2.Burntwood site: Located at the wooded apex of a small1u11 with residential areas nearby,overlooking AIoha to the north and Hazeldale to the west. This site was selected to enhance penetration into mixed commercial and residential zones along Farmington Rd,TV Highway 8 East end,and especially into the high traffic southwestern half of Beaverton and Aloha. Existing site/tower re-usage. There were no other RF towers or equivalent structures discovered in the Burntwood vicinity. WCCCA sites are few,and are by necessity spread far apart,depending heavily upon tower height(in relation to surrounding foliage,protrusions, and structures)to achieve needed coverage. A minimum 150'tower at this location is required. 3.Canterbury site: Located at the apex of a low-lying hill water tank site past the east end of Bull Mt.,with residential areas nearby, overlooking Tigard to the north and Tualatin to the south. This site was selected to provide enhanced coverage in Tualatin and Tigard particularly along the Hwy 217 corridor,and to enhance penetration into growing commercial and residential areas nearby,such as King City,Durham,and Scholls. Existing site/tower re-usage. This site is already used as an RF site by other local public agencies on VHF and UHF,but antennas are mounted down low on existing buildings and structures.No other RF towers or equivalent structures were discovered in the vicinity. WCCCA sites are few,and are by necessity spread far apart,depending heavily upon tower height(in relation to surrounding foliage,protrusions,and structures)to achieve needed coverage.A minimum 150'tower at this location is required. Bull Mtn to the west is a higher site but coverage is blocked to the Hwy 217 area by this site. 4.Witch Hazel site: Located at the Clean Water Services Facility at River Road and Witch Hazel,with Hillsboro to the west and Aloha to the east.This site was selected to fill in TV Highway 8 West end coverage, and especially to enhance penetration into surrounding growing high traffic commercial and residential zones. Existing site/tower re-usage: There are adjacent cellular sites.Geographically speaking,any of the existing locations will provide virtually identical coverage. The problem is tower height at existing cellular sites.None of the towers in that cluster exceed 60',and a minimum 150'tower is needed to provide the needed public safety coverage penetration required.Cellular systems sites are spaced closely,relying heavily upon large quantities of low-lying sites and heavy frequency re-usage to achieve acceptable wide area coverage.WCCCA sites are few,and are by necessity spread far apart, depending heavily upon tower height(in relation to surrounding foliage,protrusions,and structures)to achieve needed coverage.

Lessee's Right to Cure: Lessor's Remedies: In the event Lessee defaults in performance, or observation of any of the covenants, obligations or conditions, other than payment which is governed by Section 5, on its part to be performed or observed under this Lease, Lessor shall, before exercising any right or remedy provided herein or by law, give Lessee written notice of the default which shall be cured by Lessee within thirty (30) days. If the default is one which, due to its nature, cannot reasonably be cured within thirty(30)days, Lessee shall be deemed to have cured the default if Lessee has commenced the actions necessary to effect a cure within said thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently proceeds with all actions necessaryto effect a complete cure. If at the expiration of the applicable period, cure has not occurred, Lessor may exercise any available right or remedy, including termination of this Lease. 14. Lessor's Right to Cure: Lessee's Remedies. In the event the Lessor defaults in performance or observation of any of the covenants, obligations or conditions on its part to be performed or observed under this Lease, Lessee shall, before exercising any right or remedy provided herein or by law, give Lessor thirty (30) days written notice of the default or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required to,cure a default which, due to its nature, cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, if during said thirty (30) day period, Lessor commences efforts designed to affect a cure and thereafter diligently pursues such efforts. If at the expiration of said period, cure has not occurred, Lessee may, so long as the default remains uncured, in the place and stead of Lessor, make the payment or accomplish the performance or observance with respect to which Lessor is in default, and in the event Lessee does so, all sums necessarily expended and costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lessee in connection therewith shall be payable by Lessor to Lessee upon demand. 15. Restrictive Covenants. During the term of this Lease, Lessor shall not use the Property in any manner which would adversely affect the operation of the Communications Facility or use the Site or G:1Real_Estate\Tigard\Canterbury Site-WCCCA Lease\Lease2DGC(081403).doc Page 3 erect or place thereon any structure, vegetation or other condition which would obstruct the transmission of radio frequencies to or from the Communications Facility or otherwise interfere with operation of the communications Facility or use of the Site. Lessee's sole remedy for a breach by Lessor of this covenant shall be the right to terminate the Lease. Upon written notice to Lessor specifying proposed actions, and subject to prior written approval by Lessor which may be conditioned, granted or withheld in the exclusive discretion of Lessor, Lessee may, at its own expense, control or remove natural vegetative growth on the Site. Lessee shall be liable for all damages, whether to the land or improvements of Lessor or any other, which may be caused by erosion created by the removal of any vegetation. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to all officers, directors, subsidiaries or affiliates of Lessee or Lessor, if applicable, and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Lessor and Lessee. 17. Hazardous Materials. Lessee shall not cause or permit any hazardous material to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Site or the Property by Lessee, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees without the prior written consent of Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld as long as Lessee demonstrates to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction that such hazardous material is necessary or useful to the Lessee's business and will be used, kept, and stored in a manner that complies with all laws regulating any such hazardous material so brought upon or used or kept in or about the Site or the Property.

It will take about 4- 7 days for this change to reach many of our customers since some groundwater remains in the system until ongoing demand consumes what is currently in pipes and storage. We ran the wells as a supplement to the Bull Run supply throughout the peak season, starting July 22. The blend was typically about 60% Bull Run to 40% groundwater for the last two months. Using groundwater helps extend stored water supplies through the peak season. Current forecasts indicate reservoirs may start to refill within a week. Switching over to 100% Bull Run is typical supply management for this time of year. As we move into the fall, groundwater also helps offset seasonal color in Bull Run water. Seasonal color may be more obvious to all of our customers as we make the transition to 100% Bull Run. That, too, should abate as the rains resume and the reservoirs refill.

I prepared a scientific, annotated 36-page report on the Bull Run water system. It concludes that our water quality is so superior that additional treatment will provide no measurable improvement. Moreover, if Portland adopted a state-of-the-art water quality analysis program, it could have a water system that is safe from all threats, internal and external,for a nominal cost. The Water Bureau continues to claim that its construction plan will cost the average household water user about$1.25 a month. This is false. The true cost of the Water Bureau's total construction water safety plan, including both the reservoir burial and ancillary filtration project and the interest on the bonds to fund it,will be$1 billion.The combined water-sewer rates of Portlanders,already the zecond=highest in the nation, will more than double in the next 10 years. If this project goes forward, it will become Portland's greatest public works disaster.

This is only natural, but it natural, too,that those paid to wont'about the safety of Portland's water have not been able to laugh off the city's vulnerability quite as easily as some members of the public. The Portland Water Bureau's duty is to safeguard our city's astonishingly pure and plentiful water supply. It flows, by gravity,from the Bull Run reservoir near Mount Hood to storage reservoirs at Mount Tabor Park that are open to the sky, built in a far more trusting age. Bull Run water is treated with some chlorine and some ammonia, but that's before it reaches the park. From Mount Tabor's reservoirs, Bull Run water travels directly to the mouths of two-thirds of the city's residents.That's what makes the reservoirs such a point of vulnerability for the city. "We've become convinced that it's feasible to contaminate these reservoirs in a way that would be catastrophic for our community,"says Rosemary Menard, in charge of water resources. "We're not saying it's probable." The probability,we hope, is remote.At any rate, it's extremely difficult to assess. But even a hoax or threat of toxic contamination that eventually proves to be unfounded could shut off city water supplies for days and wreak havoc, Menard says. Testing for some contaminants is a lengthy process in itself, requiring a sophisticated analysis that isn't available in our area. In the meantime, a shutdown of water supplies or warning to boil water could have some fairly dramatic effects on our city. It wouldn't be a big draw for business prospects,that's for sure, even if the flurry all proved, in the long run,to be an unnecessary precaution. Given the gravity of the consequences of even a false report,water bureau officials say closer chemical monitoring of the reservoirs cannot take the place of burying them. Monitoring might warn of contamination, but wouldn't prevent it. The Portland Water Bureau did examine other options, but in the end, burial of the open reservoirs at Mount Tabor seemed the best way to minimize the city's risk.The$75 million price tag is daunting, but it would replace the existing obsolete reservoirs—the youngest of which is 92--with a 21 st century system,with the seismic strength to withstand earthquakes. Even if the open reservoirs could limp along, they would eventually need to be replaced.At that point, burial would be the only sensible option, because open drinking-water reservoirs are now considered substandard and hazardous.Across the country, as The Oregonian's Scott Learn reported this week, other big municipalities are facing the same risks and taking similar precautions. Many are taking their open drinking-water reservoirs out of commission. Opponents of the plan to bury the Mount Tabor reservoirs began with aesthetic objections. In response,the city held a design competition to ensure the deluxe, $14 million park treatment on top of the buried reservoirs will be top-notch. But the opponents have long since moved on to new objections. http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssP/base/editoriaU106636549964810.xm1?oregonian?ede 10/21/2003 OregonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 2 of-2 Upgrading infrastructure is the municipal equivalent of forcing down your vegetables.

A consulting firm is designing the fluoride-injection system that will be housed on the city's main water line near Southwest 209th Avenue and Tualatin Valley Highway,Tom Ramisch, Beaverton's engineering director, said Wednesday. As the design is completed, Ramisch's office and the consultant will begin looking for a contractor to do the work through a bidding qualification process approved Monday by the Beaverton City Council. Because of health and security concerns over injecting material into its public water supply, Ramisch said,the city must be sure contractors bidding for the work can show they have the expertise to do it. For that reason, he said, the selection will come in two steps,with prospective bidders first submitting statements of their qualifications. Once the city and its consulting firm, Economic&Engineering Services, are satisfied with their qualifications, firms will be invited to submit bids, Ramisch said. "We want to get a contractor who knows the drill,"he said. "We don't want just anybody and everybody bidding on it" State law allows the city to alter bidding procedures in such circumstances, Ramisch told council members Monday before they approved the steps. Last year, at the request of Stand for Children, a pro-fluoride group, Mayor Rob Drake asked the council to put the fluoridation question on the general election ballot.After a hearing that drew extensive testimony from people on both sides of the issue,the council agreed to the November vote, In which 53 percent favored the idea. The city tentatively budgeted $550,000 for the fluoride installation but will probably spend about $600,000 on it, Ramisch said. The extra will include costs of refurbishing a building at 209th Avenue and Tualatin Valley Highway that the city had purchased earlier because it is next to the city's main supply line running east from Hillsboro. The$600,000 will come from the city's water fund,supported by water billings and other revenue from water operations, not property taxes. Obtaining the necessary land-use approval from Washington County--the site is about two miles outside Beaverton city limits-- has taken four months, said David Winship, the city's engineer in charge of water operations. Other county permits related to the work are pending, he said. http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/metro west news/106630623064810.xml?oregonia... 10/21/2003 OregonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 2 of-2 The city water to be fluoridated supplies.central and southern parts of the city,taking in about 55 percent of the city's residential and business users.

Kathryn Gustafson and her Seattle-based firm Gustafson Guthrie Nichol won the job over three teams led by architects from Germany, Portland and Boston. The winning firm,announced by Commissioner Dan Saltzman on Monday, arrives amid continuing controversy over the necessity of capping reservoirs.and the project's estimated $77 million price tag, $13:7 million of which would go to build Gustafson's final design. "We cannot leave the reservoirs as they are,"Saltzman said,citing the 92-year-old reservoirs'age and new federal Environmental Protection Agency rules on water quality. Gustafson's design would change the three mostly disconnected reservoirs into a linked series of water experiences.The oldest and most hidden, Reservoir 1,would become a "water garden"of wetland plants. The middle one, Reservoir 5,would be covered by a 6inch-deep"water table"that visitors could wade in above the newly buried tank.The largest, Reservoir 6,would be split with a dramatic entrance walkway, bracketed by waterfalls, 15 feet high and 350.feet long, on each side. The eroding and fenced-off slope between 5 and 6 would.be refashioned.with terraces for picnicking and overlooks of the city. Gustafson's proposals are concepts only,developed during the three-week competition. She cautioned that her firm will develop the final design from further feasibility studies and public meetings. "There's great potential at Mount Tabor,"Gustafson,said from her Seattle office."It's rare to have such a big park with such great bones. I think Portland will get something much better out of it." Saltzman said the design speaks to concerns about changes to the park that capping the reservoirs would cause. "I believe a lot people who have opposed the project will now wonder, What are we against?'"he said. But the opposition group, Friends of the Reservoirs,actually grew by several members since the competition's designs were presented.publicly. "People think the reservoirs are pretty nice the way they are," Friends board member Steve Reinemer said."There's ways to spill them up that would be nice. But all the reasons cited for this project have not been scrutinized enough. That's the bottom line." Laura Gordon, a board member of the Mount Tabor Neighborhood Association who sat on the http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/front_page/106673785529770.xml 10/21/2003 OregonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 2.of 2 competition jury, said that city's process for deciding if and how to cap the reservoirs has been flawed. "But the design competition process was very strong," she added. "It's a very simple and refined vision for how we can move the park into the next phase of its life."

The move to bury two key drinking water reservoirs beginning in January 2005 will boost water bills by up to$19 a year for the typical residential customer,the bureau says. The$75 million budget is double the total federal grant money that Oregon has received for terrorism fighting equipment,training, planning and exercises since Sept. 11,2001. Is it worth it? Mort.Anoushiravani,the Water Bureau's administrator, said he balances the low likelihood of an attack against the reservoirs'ages and security consultants'warnings that an attack could have potentially lethal effects. Portland is one of only 16 large water utilities with open drinking water reservoirs, and at least half are planning to cover, bury or decommission their open reservoirs. Most of the rest have deep setbacks and restrictive fencing, not the walk-up public access of Mount Tabor's 92-year-old reservoirs. If the reservoirs,which supply two-thirds of the city's drinking water, remained open, "would something happen?"asked Anoushiravani. "I don't know, and I don't want to stand in front of the microphone explaining to people why we knew about something and didn't do anything about it." Opponents think the risk of a successful attack on the reservoirs is overstated.They want the city to reconsider its decision and study cheaper alternatives, including beefing up reservoir security and using high-tech monitors to detect contamination. Since the Sept. 11 attacks,the city has made do with reservoir security guards and cameras, noted Valerie Hunter, a radiologist and member of the citizens'group Friends of the Reservoirs. "if the city really believed there was an immediate risk from a terrorist,we'd have 200-foot setbacks and armed guards 24 hours a day," Hunter said.'There's been a false sense of urgency here." The City Council approved the project last year. Opponents.are vowing to fight it with ballot referrals and court challenges if the council doesn't reconsider. A look at the some of the key bones of contention: What's the real cost? http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssP/base/news/1066306037648l O.xml?oregonian?lcg 10/21/2003 OregonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 2 of 3 The City Council has approved spending $77 million, including $2 million to temporarily cap less accessible reservoirs in Washington Park, $61 million to bury the Mount Tabor reservoirs in concrete tanks and$14 million for a park on top of the tanks.The project will increase water bills about 8 percent,the Water Bureau says, or a maximum of$19 a year for the typical homeowner. Opponents say the bureau's rate calculation,which includes$30 million in credits for cost cuts and deferred building projects, understates the total hit by nearly 40 percent. Opponents also charge the bureau with low-balling the costs. The bill for topping the reservoirs could increase by at least$10 million,opponents say,citing a city landscape consultant's estimate.The city also has not included costs for increasing storage at Powell Butte Nature Park partly to compensate for the diminished storage at Mount'Tabor,an expense the city's consultants pegged at$22 million.And it has not included the$31.million estimated costs for burying the Washington Park reservoirs within 10 years. Commissioner Dan Saltzman,who oversees the Water Bureau, notes that none of those potential expenses has been approved by the City Council.Adding all of them to the tab brings the total cost to$140 million, about a fifth of the bureau's 10-year building budget. Is the terrorist threat real? Immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks, utilities downplayed the threat to water supplies, saying terrorists would need truckloads of contaminants to threaten the huge volumes in raw water storage reservoirs—including Portland's multibillion-gallon Bull Run reservoirs. But Portland and the rest of the water industry began shifting that stance by 2002. They said the pipes and storage tanks in the distribution system could be attacked with backpack-size quantities of a select few biological and chemical contaminants. Portland's first security consultant-, Veridian,warned in January 2002 that the open reservoirs posed a rare and exposed target. In a report that prompted the city to accelerate its burial program, the consultant said contaminated water could reach customers before it was detected. Rick Hahn,a California-based security consultant who was an FBI agent for 32 years, said there is evidence that terrorists have studied what agents could be used to contaminate water systems. "You are-at risk,"Hahn said. "We've got an enemy out there that has contemplated this." Experts disagree on how readily terrorists could acquire and"weaponize"contaminants that might be effective in large bodies of treated water, and how lethal they would be. If terrorists were looking for a way to attack,spreading chemical contaminants through the air as an aerosol appears easier and a more likely route,security experts say. The bureau's second security consultant, HDR, said in a report last year that one chemical agent and a handful of biological agents could potentially infect the reservoirs in small doses. A terrorist would require nearly 1,000 pounds of the chemical agent to successfully attack the huge Bull Run reservoirs, the consultants said. It would take only 3 pounds to contaminate the largest Mount Tabor reservoir, they said. But the report noted that there is"considerable debate"among scientists about the threat posed by microbial pathogens, considered likely contaminants. Can high-tech come to the rescue? http://wWw.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/news/106630603764810.xml?oregonian?lcg 10/21/2003 OrggonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 3 of 3 The Friends of the Reservoirs holds high hopes for relatively inexpensive"real-time monitoring," which uses high-tech sensors to sniff out contaminants throughout the system and warn system operators.They worry that the city will bury the reservoirs,then find a short time later that monitoring could have saved them. Those sensors could be used throughout vulnerable points in the distribution system as part of an improved security plan, not only at the open reservoirs. The Mohawk Valley Water Authority in upstate New York is installing,detectors, at$8,000 a piece, to enhance security and defer burying open reservoirs.The district's reservoirs are ringed by deep setbacks and barbed-wire fences, unlike Portland's. Connie Schreppel,the district's director of water quality, said the sensors can only detect a small number of parameters. But several of them, including chlorine residuals and alkalinity, could be changed by biological or chemical contaminants, providing an early warning, she said. Work is proceeding at a furious pace since the Sept. 11 attacks,funded in part by the Environmental Protection Agency, to improve detection systems. Neil Murphy, president of the State University of New York's College of Environmental Science and Forestry, said research by his school and others could lead to a robust system in two or three years. "I can certainly understand the criteria swaying the city's engineer"toward underground tanks, said Murphy, a former consulting engineer. "But I think you really do have to look at it from the standpoint of cost-effectiveness." Sally Gutierrez,director of the EPA's water supply and water resources division, put the timeline at 10 to 20 years for a system that would detect a wide range of contaminants. The detectors could trigger false alarms and would not prevent the contaminants from getting in the water in the first place. Portland Water Bureau officials said flipping a bypass valve and cutting off the reservoir flows would take 10 to 20 minutes, leaving a bubble of contaminated water in the system. Are there other alternatives to burial? The Water Bureau could build a treatment plant near the reservoirs that would kill small enough viruses to meet upcoming federal standards. That option would allow the bureau to keep the reservoirs open without a state-approved risk mitigation plan. The bureau's consultants, Montgomery Watson Harza, say building a treatment plant large enough to keep Mount Tabor's storage available to the system would cost as least as much to build and operate as burying the reservoirs,whether it was treatment using added chlorine, ultraviolet light or membrane filters. Some options would require pumping or extensive electricity, making the system less reliable in emergencies,the bureau says.And a treatment plant would not neutralize all potential contaminants. Opponents mistrust Montgomery Watson Harza's cost estimates and want an "independent" analysis of the alternatives.

Only 16 large U.S..utilities have open drinking water reservoirs.And at least half intend to bury, cover or deactivate them to improve water quality and security,a review by The Oregonian found. But proposed federal rules would not require the city to cover or bury.the reservoirs, as Commissioner Dan Saltzman and Mayor Vera Katz have asserted. The pending rules give the city the option of trying to keep the reservoirs open with less than.the. 50-to 100-foot exclusion zones that city consultant Montgomery Watson Harza said would be "required" by federal guidelines and regulations. A beefed-up security system, combined with maintenance to Mount Tabor's 92-year-old reservoirs, could cost water ratepayers as much as$10 million,the city estimates. Portland's$75 million reservoir burial,approved last year by the City Council and set to begin construction no earlier than fall 2004, has triggered fierce opposition. Park neighbors are concerned about aesthetics and a business group is concerned about rising water rates. Opponents.of burial want the city to reconsider the decision, this time looking at all security options. The city so far has shown no interest in reconsidering.They also want a review by an "independent"company that has no chance of getting future construction-related work. Valerie Hunter, a radiologist and member of the opposition group Friends of the Reservoirs, said she thinks a creative panel of experts could come up with state-approved security solutions"that would not destroy our park." Among the possibilities opponents suggest: decorative but restrictive fencing,walkways set farther back, additional guards, closing the reservoirs at night, closed-circuit television surveillance, motion alarms,and "real-time"monitors to warn of contaminants in the system. "There is no requirement for a 100-foot setback, and that means there is room for maneuvering and discussion,"Hunter said. "I can't help but think that we could come up with something better than a 10-foot chain-link fence." Saltzman,who oversees the Water Bureau, and bureau officials concede.the regulations give them more flexibility on security measures than depicted in Montgomery Watson Harza's analysis. But they say the difference is semantic. The state, which would be required to approve a risk mitigation plan, has said the reservoirs would need "control of public access"and "increased setbacks"to remain open. Even if the setbacks were slimmer, the city says, the plan would probably require a fence to block access to the -reservoirs, popular destinations for walking and jogging. http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?ibase/news/106621943125920.xml?oregonian?lcg 10/21/2003 OregonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 2 of 4. A$14 million budget for park improvements on top of the buried tanks would help compensate for the loss.of the reservoirs, the city says,while even a less-severe security plan would damage park aesthetics. To keep the reservoirs uncovered the city would also have to go against the advice of two security consultants,Veridian and HDR,who said after Sept. 11, 2001, that the reservoirs might be successfully attacked. HDR said attackers could use as little as three pounds of potentially lethal contaminants. The consultants recommended deep setbacks, reservoir covers and fencing that would obliterate one of the park's main roads and shut off blocks of park access if the city opted to keep the reservoirs open. Rosemary Menard,the bureau's director of water resources management,said the city could pursue a slimmed-down risk mitigation plan and possibly get a nod from the state. But she said the bureau can't pursue that option in good conscience given the security concerns and the reservoirs'advanced.age. "The flexibility is obviously there"in the proposed regulations, Menard said."But we've been convinced that open reservoirs are fundamentally not a good strategy." From real mountain to legal one Portland's water flows downhill from the huge Bull Run reserve near Mount Hood to the city's taps,with some important stops along the way.The water gets a chlorine jolt after it leaves Bull Run. Downstream, it gets a shot of ammonia to extend.disinfection. But by the time it reaches Mount Tabor's reservoirs, the water is ready to drink and receives no further treatment.The reservoirs send drinking water directly to two-thirds of the.city. After the Sept. 11 attacks, the Water Bureau accelerated long-dormant plans to bury the. reservoirs and put park land on top at a cost of$75 million.The city also plans to pay$2 million to cap two drinkingwater reservoirs in Washington Park. The EPA's proposed regulations, expected to take effect in about two years,would require Portland or any city that wants to maintain its open reservoirs to get a state approved risk mitigation plan.The plan would be required to address physical access and animal and bird waste. Kathryn Mallon, an engineer with Montgomery Watson Harza, said her firm looked at the proposed federal regulation, reports from the Water Bureau's security consultants,and 1999 Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for open reservoirs in concluding that the city would have to have the deep setbacks to get the plan approved. The 1999 federal guidelines use Washington state's regulations on open reservoirs as a model, and note that the state encourages.50-to 100-foot setbacks,with fence heights rising as the setback diminishes. But the guidelines also note that Washington state allows alternative security measures if the setbacks are"infeasible"at a given site. The guidelines fail to note that the.Washington state regulations referenced by the EPA were changed two decades ago, replaced after popular outcry with regulations that allow more flexibility.Today,the regulations don't reference any setback numbers,says the state's Department of.Health. The Washington state rales have allowed Seattle to maintain one reservoir—at popular Volunteer Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood—with a 10-to 15-foot setback edged by a chain-link, barbed-wire-topped fence for decades. The site also has closed-circuit video surveillance. The fence is ugly, said Eugene Mantchev,water capital plan manager with Seattle Public Utilities. But it does maintain a spectacular view from the Seattle Asian Art Museum of the reservoir and http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/news/106621943125920.xml?oregonian?lcg 10/21/2003 OrggonLiye.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 3 of 4 the Space Needle. "At the time it was a welcome relief because the alternative was burying the reservoirs," Mantchev said. Washington state requires long-term replacement of all open reservoirs. Seattle,which has six open reservoirs left, decided to accelerate its replacement plan after the Sept. 11 attacks. Oregon is not mandating replacement. Dave Leland, manager of the Oregon Department of Human Services drinking water program, said Oregon health officials prefer buried or capped reservoirs for treated drinking water. Oregon and the federal government have banned new open reservoirs for years. Portland's open reservoirs are"obviously"a security vulnerability, Leland said,and meeting the intent of the proposed EPA regulation looks"very challenging." Leland said in an April letter to the city that the reservoirs would need control of public access and increased.setbacks to remain open. But Leland stopped short of saying what specific security measures the state would or wouldn't endorse. "That'd be real speculative right now," he said. Mallon, of Montgomery Watson Harza, said a small setback would provide little security, particularly given the hilly terrain around the Mount Tabor reservoirs. "You tell me how a camera prevents intentional contamination,"she said. "You tell how a motion detector prevents intentional contamination, or how a guard does that. The only thing that keeps people away is a fence, and even then you can throw something in." Such reservoirs vanishing Nationwide, open drinking.water reservoirs are rare and disappearing. Even before the Sept. 11 attacks, many utilities were replacing them for basic water quality reasons, including fears of bird and animal contamination,dirty rainwater runoff, and human pranksters. A late 1990s EPA count found about 140 open drinking water reservoirs.A more precise count of utilities that serve more than 100,000 people found 48 at 16 large U.S. utilities, including Portland and Seattle's, 10 in Los Angeles and five in Baltimore. Of-the large utilities, at least half intend to cover, bury or decommission their reservoirs,which would leave at most two dozen open.Among the cities with..plans finished or under way: Seattle, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Calif., Tacoma and Salem. Most of the rest are at least studying the issue. Officials in Baltimore would not comment on their plans, citing security concerns. But the city's capital budget indicates it is studying whether to cover, downsize,decommission or replace the reservoirs. "If you look nationally, one way or another they're eventually going to get everybody with some rule or another,"said Martin Adams, director of water quality and operations for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. "The trend is no open reservoirs." Almost all the remaining open reservoirs at large utilities have significant access restrictions,with nothing near the walk-up access at Mount Tabor's reservoirs. That extra measure of security gives those utilities more flexibility. But there are exceptions. Pittsburgh planned to cover all its reservoirs but backed off on its easily accessible main reservoir in Highland Park after public protest, instead installing a $14 million treatment plant to meet state standards. http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/news/106621943125920.xml?oregonian?lcg 10/21/2003 OregonLive.com's Printer-Friendly Page Page 4-of 4 The plant,with a capacity of only 20 million gallons a day, cut the amount of water that could be drawn from the 120 million gallon reservoir. It wouldn't remove all the potential contaminants Portland and security experts cite. Unlike Portland, Pittsburgh's treatment regimen —using more potent free chlorine throughout the system instead of the more long-lasting combination of chlorine and ammonia—will allow it to avoid getting a state approved risk mitigation plan for its reservoirs under the proposed EPA regulations. Rochester, N.Y., has two open drinking water reservoirs in parks with walk-up access. Rochester also treats with free chlorine and doesn't have to submit a risk mitigation plan. Portland can't use free chlorine without re-treating the reservoir water at great expense,Portland officials say, because it needs to maintain disaffection throughout its far-flung system. Rochester shut down one of its reservoirs after the Sept_ 11 attacks,but has since reopened it during the day with boosted video surveillance and increased.barriers to cars.The other reservoir is too integrated into the park to close off,but its water is easily isolated, said Edward Doherty,the city's commissioner of environmental services. Doherty said.the city has shied away from covering or burying the reservoirs because of the cost. "We recognize it could be something we have.to deal with in the future,"he said. "But as long.as we're not obligated,we're going to at least postpone that issue."Scott Learn: 503-294-7657; scottleam@news.oregonian.com.

It will take about 4- 7 days for this change to reach many of our customers since some groundwater remains in the system until ongoing demand consumes what is currently in pipes and storage. We ran the wells as a supplement to the Bull Run supply throughout the peak season, starting July 22. The blend was typically about 60% Bull Run to 40% groundwater for the last two months. Using groundwater helps extend stored water supplies through the peak season. Current forecasts indicate reservoirs may start to refill within a week. Switching over to 100% Bull Run is typical supply management for this time of year. As we move into the fall, groundwater also helps offset seasonal color in Bull Run water. Seasonal color may be more obvious to all of our customers as we make the transition to 100% Bull Run. That, too, should abate as the rains resume and the reservoirs refill. If you have any questions regarding water quality, please call our Water Quality Information line at 503-823-7525.
