Call to Order The regular meeting of the Tigard Water District Board of Commissioners was called to order at 7:03 p.m. 2. Roll Call and Introductions Roll call was taken with all members present 3. Intergovernmental Water Board Update Commissioner Buehner discussed the scope of Services contract with CH2M Hill for a Water Rate Study Update. The proposal is for $18,400 to conduct an evaluation of our current rate structure, to review the impact of the wholesale water rate increase from Portland and our ability to maintain our one million dollar annual set aside for capital improvement project expenditures. The proposal will only look at our present system and not the potential 42 million-dollar revenue bond issue for capital improvement. Commissioner Buehner discussed the proposed agreement to increase the 1% contribution to the Cities and District based on the water sales in each respective entity. The original IGA was designed to allow these funds (1% contribution) to be used however each entity desired. If it were decided that an increase was necessary for a special fund, then the length of time and determination of the increased percentage would need to be identified. At the IWB meeting an attorney's draft of an amendment to the IGA to allow these figures to be adjusted was passed out. Commissioner Buehner also informed the Commissioners that the Lead and Copper monitoring results from Portland was distributed to IWB members. Also distributed was the Columbia-Willamette Water Coalition Report, which outlines projects that Tigard is involved with jointly with other agencies and a report from Kim Swan, Water Quality and Conservation Program Coordinator, on Tigard's youth education annual report. 4. Utility Manager's Report Mr. Miller informed the Board that he had just received a memorandum from Loreen Mills, Risk Manager, regarding insurance. Mr. Miller stated that, if the Board so chooses, Mr. Drew Bolliger (TWD's Insurance Agent of Record) can be present at the TWD Meeting Minutes Page 1 August 30, 1999 4 September 27, 1999, Board of Commissioners meeting. The Commissionets were in agreement that they would very much like to meet with Mr. Bolliger and discuss TWD insurance coverage and the role and responsibilities of the Agent of Record. Mr. Miller then discussed peaking, how Portland water was purchased last summer and the reasons why we could not take advantage of the new peaking method last summer. Mr. Miller went into great detail in the methodology of Portland's peaking calculation of taking the annual average purchase from Portland Monday through Friday and then taking full flow from Portland on the weekend. This method had worked great for us in the past, but last summer we experienced an extended hot weather pattern at the beginning of the week and we could not fully recharge the reservoirs on the weekend. In addition, City of Lake Oswego could not deliver any water to Tigard for a 60-hour period. Because Lake Oswego could not deliver any water, and we had to drop back to our annual average starting at midnight Sunday night, we had to purchase additional water from Portland to maintain firewater reserves. Mr. Miller then discussed the new method, which Tigard has been utilizing for this summer. Mr. Miller stated that a recent newspaper article, by Ms. Linda Ames, was very critical of the City and how it manages the purchase of water from Portland. A general discussion of newspaper articles from citizens on the Willamette River option ensued. 5. Non Agenda Items Commissioner Strauss stated that the minutes from the TWD Board meetings continued to be late and that the agenda's were not coming out until the day of the meeting. Commissioner Strauss asked City staff if TWD should hire a secretary to complete the minutes. Mr. Wegner stated that Public Works has high a high rate of turn over recently in the area of office assistance. However, Mr. Wegner stated that Public Works is currently recruiting a person to fill Ms. Kathy Kaatz's vacancy (Ms. Kaatz has taken a new position in Public Works as Project Coordinator) and that the new person would be present at TWD meeting to take notes and transcribe the minutes. Mr. Wegner then discussed the Regional Water Supply (Consortium) meetings and the Regional Water Supply Plan. Mr. Wegner also discussed a recent Oregonian article by Gregory Noakes on the Regional Transmission and Storage Study. It was noted that Mr. Noakes' article was based on a Regional Water Supply Plan Technical Staff subcommittee meeting. Commissioner Penner questioned when these two bodies meet. Mr. Wegner responded by saying that the Consortium Board meets quarterly and that the Technical staff subcommittee meeting is the fourth Thursday of the month and is held at the Tigard Water Building. 6. Minute Approval of August 2, 1999 Meeting It was noted that during the selection of Vice Chair that David Strauss was the member who abstained from voting. Commissioner Buehner moved to approve the August 2, 1999 meeting minutes as corrected. Commissioner Rhine seconded the motion. All members present voting AYE, the motion passed unanimously. 7. Interview Attorney • TWD Meeting Minutes Page 2 August 30, 1999 r Commissioner Penner gave some general background on TWD. He stated tHat TWD is part of a consortium of other cities making up the Tigard Water Service Area. Prior to 1993, TWD ran and operated the entire water system. Since 1994 an IGA formed the IWB and the City of Tigard began operating the water system. Commissioner Penner continued by stating why the IWB was formed and why TWD needs some legal advice for what may happen with the recent ballot initiative. Mr. Sercombe gave a brief description of his experience. Mr. Sercombe then stated that TWD should focus its thoughts on issues preliminary work. Mr. Sercombe stated that there were several questions that the Board will need to answer. 1. Is TWD going to act alone or with other IWB members? 2. What issues are raised with the passage of the Tigard Charter Amendment? Mr. Sercombe then discussed questions about the Charter Amendment and the City Charter in general. He also stated that it was appropriate to place the initiative before the voters. He asked does the amendment actually impair the IGA. Or do you need to wait for the second vote. What is the scope of the Charter Amendment, and does it affect the other IWB partners? Commissioner Penner asked if Mr. Sercombe if he had ever heard of other like situations? Mr. Sercombe stated that he had. That the City of Eugene has a charter amendment to have citizen's vote before a major thoroughfare is constructed. A question was asked if Mr. Sercombe is aware of existing complex agreements. He stated he is aware of the Joint Water Commission and USA contracts. A general statement was made that if the initiative petition has certain impacts upon an agency, it is better to know now and prepare for it. Commissioner Strauss asked if there was anything that TWD could do before the election. Mr. Sercombe responded no. The only thing that TWD can do is question whether the Charter Amendment should have been place on the ballot in the first place. Commissioner Buehner, can a case be made based on takings, as in the Dolan remand? Mr. Sercombe stated no. Dolan had to deal with taking clause of the Fifth Amendment of private property. Governments are liable for temporary taking of private property. The Courts would look at the Tigard amendment if it were a breach of contract. Commissioner Buehner asked if there would be any conflicts of interest because of Mr. Sercombe's agency performing bond work for Tigard. Mr. Sercombe stated that the City has approved a declaration of conflict of interest waiver. Commissioner Penner asked if representatives from King City would like to join in the discussion. Mr. Gilmore, King City City Attorney stated that the Charter Amendment was a good case for breach of contract. However disenfranchisement is not. Mr. Gilmore continued by stating that Durham and King City felt that they were left out of the discussion regarding the Charter Amendment. Commissioner Buehner asked Mr. Gilmore if he had seen anything in his research that has to do with having a vote of the citizens with only a portion receiving benefit. Mr. Gilmore stated that he had not. TWD Meeting Minutes Page 3 August 30, 1999 I At this time the TWD Board of Commissioner adjourned into Executive Session under the provisions of ORS 192.660 (1) (d), (e), & (h) to discuss current and pending litigation issues at 8:08 p.m. At 9:00 p.m. the TWD Board of Commissioners adjourned their Executive Session and reconvened the regular session. Commissioner Rhine asked Mr. Sercombe if this is something that he wants to do. Mr. Sercombe responded yes. It's what I do for a living and it is something that I'm interested in. Commissioner Strauss asked if there would be a problem in getting a release from Tigard? Mr. Sercombe stated no. Commissioner Buehner moved to retain the services of Mr. Timothy Sercombe to do some research on a variety of issues and report to TWD at their regular meeting on September 27, 1999. Motion seconded by Commissioner Strauss. All members present voting AYE, the motion passed unanimously. Mr. Wegner discussed a time line for the TWD. The Tigard Election is September 21, 1999; IWB is meeting on September 22, 1999; and TWD is scheduled to meet on September 27, 1999. The IWB will be going back to its regular schedule starting October 13, 1999. It makes sense to not have a special meeting of the TWD. That the TWD should stick to its regular schedule. Commissioner Froude stated that George Mardikes was one of the attorneys that represented TWD in writing the IGA. Mr. Mardikes worked for Davis Wright and Termaine. Mr. Wegner stated that he and Commissioner Buehner toured Urban Area #47 recently. Mr. Wegner has asked Tigard City Planning to look into how TWD is to annex the Urban Reserve area that was recently brought into the Urban Growth Boundary. There continued to be a general discussion regarding the IWB Water Sales Agreement and what the percentage should be set at. 8. Adjournment The next Tigard Water District Board of Commissioners meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 27, 1999 at 7:00 p.m. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. TWD Meeting Minutes Page 4 August 30. 1999 • TIGARD WATER DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS Meeting of August 30, 1999 Notes from Executive session: Present: All Commissioners Ed Wegner, Staff Mike Miller, Staff Bill Scheidench, lBW & City of Durham Rod Ludquist, City of Durham Doug Comstock, King City Chris Gilmore, King City Jane Turner, King City Timothy Sercombe, Attorney Subjects discussed: Hiring of Attorney Methods of payment for Attorney MEMORANDUM A,,, TO: Mike Miller, Operations Manage FROM: Loreen Mills, Risk Manager RE: TWD Board Meeting Update DATE: August 27, 1999 At the 9/27/99 TWD Board Meeting, Mr. Drew Bolliger (TWD's Insurance Agent of Record) will be present.

August 13, 1999 ash,=- Ms. Phyllis Wall CRY OF TIGARD 15785 SW Alderbrook Circle Tigard, Oregon 97224 OREGON Re: Letter to Mayor Nicoli Dear Ms. Wall: On behalf of Mayor Nicoll, I have been asked to respond to your letter dated August 11, 1999. Your first question concerning what laws and regulations govern a municipal water source is straight forward. The safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA, Public Law 99- • 339), originally enacted in 1974, gave the federal government, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the authority to set standards for drinking water quality in water delivered by community (public) water suppliers. In 1986, Congress passed sweeping amendments to the SWDA. The SDWA amendment of 1986 has led to a significant increase in the complexity of drinking water;regulations. Included in the 1986 amendments were requirements for the EPA to establish h and set standards for 83 compounds within three years, requirements to establisf criteria for filtration of surface water supplies, requirement that all public water systems provide disinfection, and Congress mandated that the EPA establish 25 additional standards every three years. In the summer of 1996, Congress passed another set of amendments to the SDWA. These new amendments were designed to correct some problems that where encountered in implementing the 1986 amendments. Some of the new requirements of the 1996 amendments are: funding assistance in the form of a loan program administered by the states (State Revolving Loan Fund); an annual "Consumer Confidence.Report" (which Tigard will be sending out to all customers in September 1999) with the first report required to be delivered to customers by October 19, 1999; finalize the first stage of the Disinfectant/Disinfection By-Products Rule and Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule. Under the 1996 SDWA Amendments, EPA must specify a maximum .contaminant level goal (MCLG) for each contaminant that it regulates and then set the maximum contaminant level (MCL) as close to the MCLG as is technically and economically feasible and must specify in the rule the best available technology (BAT). In Oregon, the EPA has delegated primary enforcement responsibility for the drinking water program implementation and enforcement to the Oregon Health Division, Drinking Water Section. To maintain the authority to enforce drinking water regulations under the SDWA, the State must adopt drinking water regulations at least as stringent as the federal regulations. Oregon has adopted the federal drinking water regulations as its standard. The City of Tigard has been conducting raw water monitoring of the Willamette River near the proposed intake site in Wilsonville for the last year. Other local water 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223(503)639-4171 TDD(503)684-2772 • August 13, 1999 Page 2 of 4 providers have been monitoring the water quality at this location since the early 1990's. Other state agencies have been monitoring the rivers water quality for the many decades. The annual report from Montgomery Watson will not be available until the first of September. However, the use of the Willamette River as a drinking water source for the region has been considered for over ten years and intensively studied within the last five. The studies that were reviewed to form the basis of the design criteria of the proposed Willamette River water treatment plant are: • Regional Water Supply Study—Water Treatment Analysis— 1994 • Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD) Willamette River Pilot Study— 1994 • TVWD Willamette River Water Quality Monitoring Program—1994-1996 • USGS National Water Quality Assessment of the Willamette River Basin: 1991- 1995 • Willamette River Water Supply Study— 1996 • Wilsonville Water Supply Plan— 1996 • City of Tigard. Willamette River Water Quality Sampling Program — 1998- On- going These reports have confirmed that the Willamette River can be used as a source of drinking water supply for the region and that the raw water monitoring programs conducted by TVWD, USGS and City of Tigard demonstrate that very few organic contaminates are present in the water in the vicinity of the proposed intal ►. Of the organic contaminates detected all were measured at trace levels well below regulatory levels for even finished treated water. The City's current raw water monitoring program includes weekly sampling for routine water quality parameters which are relevant to drinking water treatment, as well as weekly and monthly sampling for standard physical, chemical and biological indicators of water quality. Our program also includes quarterly sampling over a range of river flow conditions for an exhaustive list of organic and inorganic chemicals, including: • Parameters regulated under he SDWA. • EPA Contaminant Candidate List, which comprises all compounds which could be subject to drinking water regulation in the future. • All pesticides and herbicides which were detected by the USGA from anywhere . within the Willamette Basin. • 25 suspected endocrine disruptors. Briefly, raw water quality data collected so far indicates that the general water quality near Wilsonville is comparable to other Willamette River Basin Source waters, including the North Santiam River and the Clackamas River. In fact, the Clackamas River was our primary water supply source from 1972 to '1996 and continues to be a secondary supply source during the summer months. The Willamette can be characterized as relatively low in mineral content and natural organic matter. Average alkalinity levels are approximately 25 mg/L while total organic carbon levels range from approximately 1 to 4 mg/L and average around 2 mg/L. Turbidity (dirtiness of water) levels are very low and stable in the summer months averaging approximately 2.5 NTU's. During the rainy season, turbidity is less stable with peaks as high as 200 NTU and an average of 14 NTU. August 13, 1999 Page 3 of 4 The proposed water treatment process is a state of the art system comprising of coagulation (adding polymer to make the suspended particles in the water larger); flocculation (mixing of the polymer with the water to form precipitant); sedimentation; disinfection by use of ozone; filtration using granular activated carbon; and finally disinfection with chlorine. Enclosed is a diagram of how the process works. As to the process of treating the water during different river conditions, it will be treated basically the same. The only difference is travel time for the water and the intervals of cleaning (backwashing) the filters. Modern water purification designs require that a number of options and methods be available to meet current and anticipated water treatment regulations. The processes illustrated in Figure ES-1 of the Willamette River Water Supply System Preliminary Engineering Report illustrate and reflect a thorough and comprehensive recognition that providing the safest drinking water requires study, preparation and diligence. A lot of information regarding the selection process and public involvement has occurred over the last two years. A partial list of public involvement activities that have occurred are: • Public forum in Tigard, organized by the Oregon Environmental Council • Tigard Citizen Involvement Team meetings were presentation§ on the Willamette River Project were made followed by Q&A sessions for four months. • Four open house meetings, including one afternoon session in Tigard with public Q&A periods. Table space was even provided to City of Portland and Citizens for Safe Water Willamette opposition group). • Three presentations and Q&A forums for Wilsonville residents — one each on groundwater, Willamette and Portland options. • Two open forums on water issues by City of Wilsonville. • Reports by panel of independent experts in Wilsonville on the Willamette River Option. Panel included 3 toxicologists, professor specializing in water treatment, and laboratory quality control expect. • Seven newsletters mailed by Tigard and Wilsonville to their residents on water supply option and water quality issues. • Comprehensive newspaper coverage in The Oregonian, Tigard Times and Wilsonville Spokesman. • KATU Channel 2 Town Hall forum. • Intergovernmental Water Board (representing Tigard, King City, Durham and the Tigard Water District) one public hearing. • Tigard Water District- one public hearing. • Tigard citizen Water Advisory Task Force—nine public meetings. • Tigard City Council—three public hearings. • Wilsonville City Council—two public hearings. • Tualatin Valley Water District—one public hearing, public workshop session. • City of Sherwood - three public hearings. Another area of concern in your letter are the problems with sewer overflows. A lot of attention lately has focused around the combined sewer overflow problems in Portlanc In fact, a health advisory was released recently advising people not to swim water August 13, 1999 Page 4 of 4 or fish in the Willamette in the Portland Harbor area. This is the section of the river that is in downtown Portland. Please remember that what Tigard is proposing is withdrawing and treating water from the Willamette at Wilsonville, 38 river miles upstream from Portland. In addition, it is also important to remember that the Willamette River flows over the Willamette Falls in Oregon City, running south to north, from Wilsonville to Portland. In closing, we believe we have made every effort possible to bring our plans before the public. The Willamette River Water Supply System Preliminary Engineering Report is a very comprehensive document that is over 3-inches thick and can be checked out at the Tigard Public Library for review. This information, including the proposal from the City of Portland on the expansion of the Bull Run/Columbia Southshore Well Field option to supply Tigard, have been available to the public since January 1999. If you prefer, you can contact me directly and I will have both the Willamette River Water Supply System Preliminary Engineering Report and the Portland Water System • Plan for Expanded Southwest Service reports available to you for your conveyance. Should you or Mr. Anderson have any additional questions or would like to meet to discuss the plans in more detail, please call me at 639-4171 x395.
