P.O.BOX 230000 TIGARD,OREGON 97281-1999 PHONE(503)639-1554 May 2, 1994 Tigard Water District Budget Message Fiscal Year 1994/95 In compliance with State of Oregon Local Budget Law and District Policies, the proposed budget for 1994/95 for the Tigard Water District is submitted for your consideration. This proposed budget includes the activities of the Tigard Water District board and the Districts share of the 1976 issue of General Obligation bonds . Last years Tigard Water District budget included all activities of the Water operation including all debt service issued by the district . Effective July 1, 1993, the Cities of Tigard, Durham, and King City withdrew from the district . From July 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993, the Water operation was administered by the 'Nave Southeast Washington County Joint Water Agency through an intergovernmental agreement . Effective January 1, 1994, an agreement was reached by all participants in the system whereby the City of Tigard would manage the water operation on behalf of the participants . The intergovernmental agreement with the Tigard Water District called for a contribution from the Water fund to the District of up to $40, 000 to support the Tigard Water District Boards activities from January 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995 . The majority of resources available to the District for 1994/95 operations come from this source . In addition, the District will receive one percent of water sales to customers in the district each year. As a result of the changes in the organization of water operations and administration, this Budget includes resources and expenditures related only to the activities of the Tigard Water District Board and the unincorporated areas share of debt service. All other costs of the water operation will be included in the City of Tigard budget with the exception of the share of debt service for Durham and King City which will be included in their respective budgets . All employees associated with water operations have been transferred to the City Of Tigard. District support including accounting, meeting support, and special projects will be provided ,,,o,,,, by City of Tigard staff and related charges have been included in the budget proposal . The Districts share of the 1994/95 debt service is 19 . 1 percent and *Nu.- requires a tax levy of $29, 675 assuming a 94 percent collection rate. This levy is estimated to result in a tax rate of 7 .3 cents per thousand. The rate for 1993/94 for the entire district was 7 .5 cents per thousand. The details of the budget proposal have been provided to you for discussion and consideration. I wish to thank the Board and the Citizen members of the budget committee for their participation in this process . Respectfully submitted /C94-4- Lou Ane Mortensen Tigard Water Dist •ict Board member Appointed Budget Officer April 28,1994 Memo: To Members of the Board of Tigard Water District From: George E. Morgan Reference : TIGARD WATER DISTRICT PRELIMINARY BUDGET 1994-95 Proposed addition following Budget Letter: As a means of identifying the primary "Mission" of the District in the 1994-95 fiscal year and to support the requested fund appropriations, a brief statement is needed. In addition since the District no longer provides direct water service to customers, I believe it is important to identify what our primary Goals and Ojectives are in the coming year. In other words, why are we preposing to stay "in business". Consistent with those comments, the following suggestions are advanced for the consideration of the Board: MISSION: Ensure that the interests of present and future water customers, within the service area of the T.W.D. (unincorporated area), are represented as prescribed in the District's Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Tigard, effective January 1 , 1994. Goals/Objectives 1994-95 1 . Participate constructively with representatives from the cities of Tigard, Durham and King City to meet the responsibilities delegated to the Intergovernmental Water Board, including, but not limited to the establishment of uniform water rates and conditions of service. 2. Participate with other agencies, while representing the longer term service interests of the present T.W.D., to secure high quality econom- ical, and reliable long term water supply contracts. 3. Participate with other agencies, while representing present and future water service interests of the T.W.D., to develop and implement a new Water Utility 5 Year Capital Improvement Program. 4. Provide funds with an ad valorem property tax to insure that the T.W.D. meets its designated share of the bonded indebtedness required to be serviced in the 1994-95 fiscal year. cc.
