3. Visitor Comments
Kinton Fowler- 16170 SW Hazeltine Lane, unincorporated area of Bull Mountain,
Mr. Fowler attended a meeting with City of Tigard on the 20th where they discussed the feasibility
study and mentioned a couple of properties in the unincorporated area that are Tigard Water
District properties (reservoir at High Tor Drive and a small property on 150th). He got the
indication that they may be in negotiations or planning negotiations with the Tigard Water District
to either sell or transfer those properties to the City of Tigard. He would like to speak for the
people of the unincorporated area that are working on this corporation process and ask,
respectively, that the Tigard Water District table any kind of transfer of property of the
unincorporated area until it is determined whether or not there will be a City of Bull Mountain.
Mr. Fowler reported that August 9th is the last date that the Washington County Commissioners
can put an initiative on the November ballot to incorporate the City of Bull Mountain.
Lisa Hamilton-Treick- 13565 SW Beef Bend Road, unincorporated area of Bull Mountain
Ms. Hamilton-Treick, speaking on behalf of the Friends of Bull Mountain, presented an original
letter dated June 25, 2006, to Dennis Koellermeier and copies to the Board of Commissioners.
The letter was addressed to the Intergovernmental Water Board (IWB) and Tigard Water District
(TWD) with copies to the Washington County Board of Commissioners, Larry Derr, Clark
Balfour, Oregon Special Districts Association and State Representative Jerry Krummel. The
essence of the letter is that the Friends of Bull Mountain have been made aware that there appear
to be some proposed land transactions or asset transfers in the works and they ask that any
transaction now under way be suspended pending the election.
Additionally,Ms. Hamilton-Treick commented there has been a significant change of
circumstance in regards to the Tigard Water District and the future of unincorporated Bull
Mountain since agreements were prepared by the City of Tigard back in 1993. No one anticipated
that the City of Bull Mountain would now be placing an incorporation proposal on the ballot.
When Ms. Hamilton-Treick started to make reference to plans to bring all of Bull Mountain into
the City of Tigard's city limits and eventually dissolve the district, Commissioner Rhine clarified
that the district would not be dissolved because the district represents the unincorporated part of
Washington County served by the Tigard Water system. Whether Bull Mountain goes into Tigard
or forms the City of Bull Mountain, there is still a portion of the county the TWD would serve.
Although the constituency would probably change, this board would continue to exist.
Ms. Hamilton-Treick had additional concerns and questions about assets and Commissioner Rhine
replied that there has been nothing before this board about transfer of assets. If that were to
occur, then it could generate an Executive Session. Ms. Hamilton-Treick asked that Clark Balfour
be present at that meeting if that occurred.
A discussion continued about two parcels of land on High Tor in the unincorporated boundary
area and pledged to the City of Tigard and a parcel on150th. It was her understanding, according
to Mr. Balfour's analysis of the situation that, should they incorporate as a city, the assets in their
future boundary area would become the assets of the City of Bull Mountain if the water district
was dissolved. Just like the assets that are in the City of Tigard's boundary, those would likely
become assets of the City of Tigard if the district dissolves. Commissioner Rhine confirmed that
the properties are deeded to the Tigard Water District and pledged to the Tigard Water system as
long as they are needed.

Ms. Hamilton-Treick asked that the Tigard Water District commissioners receive a copy of the
June 20th Tigard City Council transcript. Commissioner Rhine clarified that she could not request
that, but he could and asked Mr. Koellermeier to provide those for the board.
Helen Honse - 14640 SW 14L Avenue, unincomorated area of Bull Mountain
Ms.Honse asked if the board would be open to taking more visitor comments after Agenda Item#9.
Commissioner Rhine responded that the board would accept more comment. Also, Ms. Honse had
concerns about maintaining the integrity of the proposed boundary area up through the forum where
the voters have a chance to vote and appealed to the board as representatives of the unincorporated
area to observe and maintain that should that become an issue.
Wynne Wakkila-Ms. Wakkila asked if the IWB would actually own the land. Commissioner
Radley responded that was not a simple question and referenced the letter Clark Balfour submitted
that provided detailed analysis of the laws and ownership. Commissioner Froude commented that
the Intergovernmental Water Board is the final arbiter as far as voting and Tigard Water District is
just one part of that.
5. Update on Bylaws and Bylaw Modifications
No update on Bylaws and Bylaw Modifications at this time.
6. Water Supply Update
and
7. IWB Update—Dennis Koellermeier
Summer Peaking- Mr. Koellermeier reported that it has been an interesting year from a supply
standpoint because the hot weather was three weeks earlier than normal. The system did a very
good job meeting peaks on weekends. On Sunday the system used 12.5 mg of water,which only
brought storage down to about 90 percent. Today's usage should be about the same. The peak
numbers are not as high as expected. The whole metropolitan region is seeing conservation
messages kick in, because some places are shaving 10 percent off historical peaks of water usage.
Portland Contract-Tigard signed a 10-year water supply contract with the City of Portland
effective July 1st that provides about 60 percent of Tigard's supply. This contract gives the ability
to buy interruptible water (non-contract water) at a lower cost. Tigard can buy extremely
inexpensive water when it is available in the winter to load the ASR wells,which makes the ASR
system more economically viable. Agencies on the westside (except West Slope Water District)
opted to take the 10-year contract and those on the eastside took the 20-year contract.
Mint Water Commission (TWCI —Tigard is still working through the process of the environmental
impact statement for the Henry Hagg Lake Dam Raise project. Tigard started taking water last
week from the JWC.
Lake Oswego—Tigard is currently taking water from Lake Oswego and the kick-off meeting for
the joint supply study with Lake Oswego is June 27th. Tentative reports will probably be available
on that feasibility in October.
Willamette River - There has been no activity on the Willamette River Water Coalition. The
process of renewing or extending water rights,which was made very clear by the legislature, has
Tigard Water District Draft Copy Time 26, 2006
3
been muddied by the interpretation of various state agencies that are involved. The Water
Resource Department is at a point where they will have to make a decision. The Willamette River
Water Coalition has elected to put an administrative hold on the process so it is not decided under
the current set of rules, go back to the legislature to clarify a few issues, and then take the issue up
again next year.
8. Update on Water Related Educational Information—Marc Delphine
Mr. Koellermeier indicated he had been in contact with the contractor and provided information
sources to keep the project moving. He then referred to another project where the City of
Tigard has the opportunity to use the Tualatin Valley TV studios to produce programming
where he has reserved some of Tigard's programming capacity. A video project has begun about
water for the Tigard service area,the choices,and the decisions that are coming up, etc. The
same data sources link these two projects together and,hopefully, the board will agree that the
two projects will grow together. Both projects tell the same message; one in print form and the
other in video form. Putting this together is probably a 60-day process. Mr. Koellermeier
indicated the data source, scripts,etc.,used to develop the video will be shared with the print
media people scheduled by Commissioner Delphine. He also indicated the City of Tigard may
not create a website of its own, but refer people to a series of websites by providing a link.
9. Board Comments on Bull Mountain Economic Feasibility Study
Mr. Koellermeier offered an introduction to this topic and made suggestions to the board as
follows:
• The board is clearly an interested party in this potential proceeding.
• Staff thought it appropriate to have an agenda item and the materials that are available for
a discussion on this item if desired.
• The range of actions as a board is very broad: TWD could accept the report, take
position on the proposed formation of a new city and convey that action to the Board of
County Commissioners, or TWD could take no action.
• Mr. Koellermeier stated his goal was to provide the board with information and share
questions he is aware of that pertain to water.
• He was prepared to answer questions and indicated the audience would be a good source
of information if the board had questions.
Commissioner Rhine thought a discussion should take place. He remarked that if a position were
to be taken,it should be taken at the PWB level. Commissioner Froude responded the IWB is
only as strong as each individual city, so the IWB would be the final arbiter. Commissioner Rhine
said the IWB,representing Tigard Water Service area (Tigard,Durham, King City and Tigard
Water District) ought to discuss whether they plan to modify or not modify the charter if a new
city is formed. Commissioner Radley suggested that the TWD recommend putting that issue on
the IWB agenda in the near future. Commissioner Rhine indicated that was a fine position for
the board to take.
Discussion continued about water related issues and statements made in Clark Balfour's letter as
they may pertain to the IWB. Mr.Koellermeier clarified that the IWB is simply an ORS 190
organization,which is very common, and creates its own charter. Mr. Koellermeier said that
because the proposed boundaries of the new city do not encompass the entire water district, the
ORS law that addresses that issue does not apply. A remnant of the water district would be left
and it would have to be determined at that point whether it is an economical,viable organization.

Mr. Koellermeier pointed out two issues from the water perspective. First,the clause in the IWB
formation ordinance stating the City of Tigard is under no obligation to serve water to areas that
would come into the Tigard Water District after the formation of the IWB. Secondly, the
proposed density as laid out in the economic feasibility study is 20 percent denser than what was
assumed for the same property when the water master plan was done. That is not fatal, but all
parties are treated equally in the IWB. From the aspect of capital planning and expenditure, the
IWB is bound to the boundaries of the various jurisdictions. If the new city comes in and needs
additional capital,which it will if they are going to put in 20 percent more people than anticipated,
there will be an unequal situation and the IWB will have to determine if they are willing, through
water rates,to subsidize the growth in that area for higher density. The IWB may come back and
say the area within this higher density is going to have to come up with an additional share of the
cost of developing those improvements. Those are the issues staff thinks this board will have to
resolve regarding its relationship with the potential new city and the IWB.
Commissioner Radley commented that while the density may be higher,it was his understanding
that a large part of area 63 and 64 would be set aside for parks and would not be developed. The
actual number of water customers might be less than originally projected.
Mr. Koellermeier stated areas 63 and 64 were considered in the master planning effort of 2000.
There was a density assumed for those properties. The system capacity to serve those areas at a
given density is incorporated into the master plan, as well as the sizing of capital improvements
since 2000. There is also language in the agreement that Tigard is under no obligation to serve
those areas for the life of the IWB,which is at least until 2018 unless it is renegotiated before then.
Ms. Hamilton-Treick commented that parks, commercial,industrial, 25% slopes, sensitive land
and wetlands are not included in the net buildable acres. She continued to express her concerns
about having water provided to the area. Ms. Hamilton-Treick stated the Metropolitan Housing
Rule is what determined the density for 63 and 64 resulting in a projection of about 600 more
households. The new City of Bull Mountain does not have to provide for super-sizing the
density. It is possible the density could end up less than it would have been in the City of Tigard.
Commissioner Rhine asked Commissioner Zeider if she had any comments. Commissioner
Zeider commented that she was really impressed with the economic feasibility study and felt
water was the only issue the board would have anything to do with. Commissioners Froude
and Delphine had no comment.
10. Non-Agenda Items
Commissioner Delphine commented that he would like food and water provided for the
meetings. There was a brief discussion about the refreshments offered to the board and guests.
Mr. Koellermeier indicated water would be provided for future meetings.
11. Executive Session—Real Property Transactions
Commissioner Rhine asked Mr. Koellermeier to explain more in the public meeting the reason
why the board would need to go into Executive Session. Executive Session does not give the
right to make any decisions, only hear comments by Oregon law. The TWD cannot make a
determination on what to do because that has to be done in a public session. There are topics
that are germane to hold in Executive Session,which means the public is not included and those
issues are listed in the italicized section at the bottom of the Agenda.

Mr. Koellermeier commented that he made a presentation to the IWB at their last meeting on this
same issue regarding property and a Tigard Water District board member at that meeting asked
him to bring the same issue before this board. This does not include this board taking action to
purchase a piece of property,which would be an action of the IWB.
The Commissioners discussed the reasons for going into Executive Session and Commissioner
Rhine told the guests,who expressed their concerns about the board going into Executive
Session,that the board would call Mr. Balfour when and if it was appropriate. Commissioner
Rhine then announced they will go into Executive Session and proceeded to read the notation
pertaining to Executive Session provisions of ORS 192.660.
The Tigard Water District Board of Commissioners went into Executive Session at 8:31 p.m. and
ended at 8:50 p.m. At 8:53 p.m. the TWD meeting reconvened.
12. Set next meeting date—July 24,2006, at 7:00 p.m.
13. Adjournment
Commissioner Delphine motioned to adjourn, Commissioner Froude seconded the motion, and
the meeting unanimously adjourned at 8:53 p.m.

From: Robert Davis, County Administrator
Subject: Tigard Urban Service Area Agreement
As you know,the Bull Mountain Residents for Incorporation(BMRI) submitted a petition to the
County to create the City of Bull Mountain, and is requesting that the proposal be placed on the
November 7,2006 ballot. Upon review,the County determined that the petition complies with
State and Metro filing requirements and has scheduled public hearings on the proposed
incorporation in accordance with Metro Code 3.09.130, as required.
County Counsel has subsequently advised staff of the need to make certain amendments to the
County's Comprehensive Framework Plan for the Urban Area(CFP)and to the Tigard Urban
Service Agreement(TUSA). The proposed changes are necessary because the CFP and the
TUSA do not contain language recognizing that the urban unincorporated territory in the Bull
Mountain area may choose to incorporate. The proposed changes would allow for the
incorporation of the new city and would require the parties to the agreement to consider making
any changes to the TUSA to recognize the existence of the new city, if formed.
Enclosed for your consideration are the proposed changes to the TUSA. The County respectfully
requests that,if possible,the changes be approved by your council or board before August 8,
2006. However,if the changes are not acceptable,please advise the County at your earliest
convenience,but no later than August 8,2006. Also enclosed for your information is a copy of
Ordinance No. 666.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or desire
additional information,please call Paul Schaefer at 503-846-8817.

Page 5
. the dispute,the parties agree to submit the matter to non-binding mediation. Only after
these steps have been exhausted will the matter be submitted to arbitration.
Step 1 —Negotiation. The managers or other persons designated by each of the disputing
parties will negotiate on behalf of the entities they represent. The issues of the dispute
shall be reduced to writing and each manager shall then meet and attempt to resolve the
issue. If the dispute is resolved with this step,there shall be a written determination of
such resolution signed by each manager,which shall be binding upon the parties.
Step 2—Mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of initiation of Step
1, a party shall request in writing that the matter be submitted to non-binding mediation.
The parties shall use good-faith efforts to agree on a mediator. If they cannot agree,the
parties shall request a list of five mediators from an entity or firm providing mediation
services. The parties will attempt to mutually agree on a mediator from the list provided,
but if they cannot agree, each party shall select one name and the two mediators shall
jointly select a third mediator. The dispute shall be heard by the third mediator and any
common costs of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties,who shall each bear
their own costs and fees therefore. If the issue is resolved at this Step,then a written
determination of such resolution shall be signed by each manager and shall be binding
upon the parties.
Step 3—Arbitration.After exhaustion of Steps 1 and 2 above,the matter shall be settled
by binding arbitration in Washington County, Oregon, in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association,the rules of the
Arbitration Service of Portland, or any other rules mutually agreed to,pursuant to ORS
190.710-790.The arbitration shall be before a single arbitrator;nothing shall prevent the
parties from mutually selecting an arbitrator or panel thereof who is not part of the AAA
panel and agreeing upon arbitration rules and procedures. The cost of arbitration shall be
shared equally. The arbitration shall be held within 60 days of selection of the arbitrator
unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The decision shall be issued within 60 days of
arbitration.
X. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE
If any portion of this AGREEMENT is declared invalid,or unconstitutional by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent
provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this
AGREEMENT.
XI. SIGNATURES OF PARTIES TO AGREEMENT
In witness whereof,this AGREEMENT is executed by the authorized representatives of
the COUNTY, CITY,DISTRICTS, and METRO. The parties,by their representative's

EXHIBIT C
PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
COUNTY and CITY agree:
1. That as annexations occur within the Tigard Urban Service Area shown on Map A,the CITY
will assume law enforcement services and the area will be withdrawn from the Enhanced
Sheriff's Patrol District. The Sheriff's Office will continue to provide law enforcement
services identified through the Cogan Law Enforcement Project and those services mandated
by state law. Eventually,the Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District, consistent with its conditions
of fonnation,will be eliminated when annexations on a county-wide basis reach a point
where the function of the District is no longer economically feasible.
2. That over time as annexations occur within the urban unincorporated area, the primary focus
of the Sheriff's office will be to provide programs that are county-wide in nature or serve the
rural areas of the COUNTY. The Sheriff's office will continue to maintain needed service
levels and programs to ensure the proper functioning of the justice system in the COUNTY.
The Sheriff's Office will also continue to provide available aid to smaller cities(e.g.,Banks
and North Plains)for services specified in the COUNTY'S mutual aid agreement with those
cities upon their request. The Sheriff's Office will also consider requests to provide law
enforcement services to cities on a contractual basis consistent with the COUNTY's law
enforcement contracting policy.
3. That the COUNTY and CITY and other Washington County cities,through the Cogan Law
Enforcement Project, shall determine the ultimate functions of the Sheriff's Office that are
not mandated by state law.
4. That the COUNTY and CITY shall utilize comparable measures of staffing that accurately
depict the level of service being provided to residents of all local jurisdictions in the
COUNTY.

PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENT FOR PARKS,RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE
CITY,TUALATIN HILLS PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT(THPRD), COUNTY, and
METRO agree:
1. That the CITY shall be the designated provider of park,recreation and open spaces services
to the Tigard Urban Service Area(TUSA)shown on Map A. Actual provision of these
services by the CITY to lands within the TUSA is dependent upon lands being annexed to the
CITY. Within the Metzger Park Local Improvement District(LID),the CITY will be a joint
provider of services. The CITY and THPRD,however,may also enter into inter-
governmental agreements for the provision of park,recreation and open space services to
residents within each other' boundaries,such as the joint use of facilities or programs. This
provision does not preclude future amendments to this AGREEMENT concerning how park,
recreation and open space services may be provided within the TUSA.
2. That the CITY and the COUNTY should further examine the feasibility of creating a park
and recreation district for the TUSA.
3. That standards for park,recreation, and open space services within the TUSA will be as
described in the CITY'S park master plan.
4. That the CITY and COUNTY are supportive of the concept of a parks systems development
charge as a method for the future acquisition and development of parks lands in the TUSA
that are outside of the CITY. The CITY and COUNTY agree to study the feasibility of
adopting such a systems development charge for lands outside of the CITY.
5. That at the next update of its parks master plan,the CITY shall address all the lands within
the TUSA.
6. That the Metzger Park LID shall remain as a special purpose park provider for as long as a
majority of property owners within the LID wish to continue to pay annual levies for the
operation and maintenance of Metzger Park. The CITY and COUNTY also agree to the
continuation of the Metzger Park Advisory Board. However,the COUNTY as administrator
of the LID,may consider contracting operation and maintenance services to another provider
if that option proves to be more efficient and cost-effective. This option would be presented
and discussed with the Park Advisory Board before the COUNTY makes a decision.
7. That continuation of the Metzger Park LID shall not impede provision of parks, and
eventually recreation services,to the Metzger Park neighborhood by the CITY. Continuation
of the Metzger Park LID will be considered as providing an additional level of service to the
neighborhood above and beyond that provided by the CITY.
8. That the CITY and COUNTY will coordinate with Metro to investigate funding sources for
acquisition and management of parks which serve a regional function.

9. That Metro may own and be the provider of region-wide parks,recreation and open space
facilities within the TUSA. Metro Greenspace and Parks facilities typically are to serve a
broader population base than services provided to residents of the TUSA by the CITY.
Where applicable,the CITY, COUNTY, and METRO will aspire to coordinate facility
development,management and services.

A. Supply generally will not impact service boundaries, given that a limited number of
sources provide all the water in the study area and the number of interconnections
between providers are increasing and are encouraged to continue in the future.
B. Future supply and conservation issues may be addressed through the Regional Water
Consortium to the extent reasonable and practicable for water providers in Washington
County. Service providers in the TUSA shall continue to participate in the Consortium
and use it as the forum for raising,discussing and addressing supply issues.
C. The Consortium may also serve as a forum to discuss and resolve water political issues to
the extent reasonable and practicable for water providers in Washington County. The
Consortium is an appropriate forum to bring elected officials together and for promoting
more efficient working relationships on water supply and conservation issues.
D. Intergovernmental agreements shall address ownership of interconnections between
CITY and Districts' sources, whether for the purpose of wholesale provision of water
from one entity to the other or for emergency use, in the case of a boundary change that
involves the site of the interconnection.
2. Maintenance/Distribution:
A. TVWD,TWD and the CITY do not anticipate any events in the foreseeable future that
would necessitate maintenance,rehabilitation or replacement beyond the financial reach
of any of the water providers in the TUSA. Each provider will continue to be responsible
for providing the financial revenue stream through rates and charges and to accrue
adequate reserves to meet foreseeable major maintenance needs.
B. TVWD,TWD, CITY,and COUNTY agree to maintain and participate in the Cooperative
Public Agencies of Washington County in order to efficiently share and exchange
equipment and services.

intersect or be built in proximity to CITY facilities. The CITY agrees to incorporate such
mapping into its GIS mapping system of utilities and other facilities. TVWD, TWD and
CITY agree to develop and maintain a common, on-going,up to date GIS mapping
system showing facilities of each water provider within the TUSA.
3. Customer Service/Water Rates:
A. Price of supply and bonded indebtedness will most likely have the greatest impact on
rates.
B. TVWD,TWD, and the CITY believe that rates are equitable within the TUSA.
C. Given adequate water pressure, level and quality of service should not vary significantly
among different water providers in the TUSA and does not appear to be an issue for most
customers.
4. Withdrawal/Annexation/Merger:
A. Notwithstanding Section I of this AGREEMENT-Roles and Responsibilities,or existing
agreements between the providers, future annexations may lead to changes in service
provision arrangements. Modifications to any service area boundary shall comply with
METRO Code Chapter 3.09 and provisions identified under Section IV. If necessary,the
Metro Boundary Appeals process shall be employed to resolve conflicts between parties
as they arise.TVWD,TWD, and the CITY shall continue to work together to adjust
boundaries as appropriate to improve the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of providing
service.
B. In the event that the entire service area of any DISTRICT is annexed in the future,that
district shall be dissolved. No attempt shall be made to maintain the district by delaying
annexation of a token portion of the district(e.g.,the district office).
C. The area of TVWD known as the Metzger service area shall remain in TVWD, except
those portions agreed to by both TVWD and CITY that may be withdrawn from TVWD
upon annexation to the CITY. In exchange, TVWD will support the CITY joining as a
partner of the Joint Water Commission.
D. Providers that propose a merger,major annexation or dissolution shall give all providers
in the study area an opportunity to influence the decision as well as plan for the
consequences. None of the parties waives its right to contest a major or minor boundary
change by any of the other parties on the issue of the appropriate service provider for the
area encompassed by the boundary change except when the party has expressly waived
that right as to a described service area in an agreement executed subsequent to this
agreement.
