Minutes for Summer Lake Task Force 3-18-00 Meeting Page 1 Mr. Banta suggested that the central goals of the Request for Proposals be reconsidered for • reasons detailed in a memorandum distributed to the members and which also included the following motion. "Motion: That the City of Tigard divide its Request for Proposal for the Summer Lake Water Quality Project into two phases as follows: Phase I—Examine and report whether there is an economically viable way to assure that water quality standards in upper Summer Creek(above the lake) are not violated during low flow times in the heat of summer. Phase II- Execute the work contained in the current Request for Proposal or as amended by the City response onse to Task Force recommendations. It is the sense of the Task Force that the P two phases be bid separately and that whether Phase II is carried out depends on the consultant's assurances in its report on Phase I." Seconded by Mr. McAdams. During discussion, a consensus was reached that the motion should be amended so that consideration of the stream above the lake would extend to the quarry site at Scholls Ferry and would account for efforts at that site to create aawnin area and reduce water aspawning temperature by pumping groundwater to the stream. Mr. Wegener expressed a concern that the motion was not within the scope of the project. Ms. Smith offered to contract with a consultant to provide this initial study(Phase 1). In the meantime,the Request for Proposals for Phase Two would proceed as proposed. • The amended motion passed unanimously. Other Items- In response to a question from the audience, members agreed to set aside time during meetings for questions from the public. Next Meeting: May 1, 2000. Location to be announced.
