ADJOURNMENT
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
1. Resolution to approve minutes of last meeting,.
2. Visitors.
a. Dr. R. A. Bissett intends to appear before the Board
regarding the district's alleged responsibility to level the fill
dirt on his property which was hauled by the contractor from the
new Hi Tor reservoir. (See letter attached).
When it became known to the public, about 1- - years ago, that
excess fill dirt would be available upon excavating for the new Hi
Tor reservoir there were at least 8 property owners who expressed
a desire for the dirt. In addition, other property owners were
willing to pay the contractor for each load hauled to their premises.
John Miller was advised by Dr. Martin Johnson that Dr. Bissett
wanted some fill dirt. Since Dr. Bissett's residence was closest to
the reservoir site (and thus the cheapest disposal site) John called
upon Dr. Bissett. Evidently, there was a misunderstanding about
leveling the dirt after dumping. John states that he does not recall
telling Dr. Bissett that either the contractor or TWD would grade the
fill dirt.
The district does not possess equipment to accomplish the job
and such work must be performed by private contractor. Estimated
cost: $300.
b. Mr. Jim Harris of Harris & McMonagle (Engineers) intends to
appear before the Board and request permission to perform the engi-
neering work on water main installations for specific sub-divisions.
You have indicated in the past that you desired the Administrator
to perform this function. Most engineers when designing a sub-division
prefer to plan all utilities, including streets, sidewalks, sewers,
storm drains, water, etc.
-1-
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
Aside from the income gained from the 8$ of construction costs
there are distinct advantages in retaining this function within the
district. We are familiar with the master plan, existing pressures,
sizing of mains, number of dwellings which can be served, fire pro-
tection requirements, etc. Other engineers often do not supervise
the installation adequately, resulting in shoddy workmanship. Also,
by utilizing outside engineering firms you have lost control of the
system.
I have managed to keep up with the workload and believe that only
one engineer should do the design work. If it is not correct, you have
a recourse.
3. Resolution to pay vouchers.
SOW
4. Resolution to approve lowest acceptable bid to raise elevation of
reservoir #3 by 12 feet.
At 1:30 p.m., September 12th, (date of the meeting) the Washington
County Planning Commission will consider the district's application for
"conditional use" to raise the elevation of reservoir #3 by 12 feet.
The Planning Commission is now the final authority on these matters;
thus the request will not be referred to the County Commissioners.
Also, on September 12th, Elden Carter will have bids from competent
contractors to perform the work.
It should be noted that the consulting engineers arrived at the same
solution in design as suggested by some of the commissioners at the last
meeting. The existing concrete top will be sawed off around the outside
rim and the walls extended on top of the existing walls. Most of the
present top will remain in tact inside the new tank. This goes to prove
that the commissioners are good engineers too.
5. Resolution to approve solicitation of bids for $480.000 of bonds and
approve the notice of the bond sale.
Ken Baines has prepared the resolution in detail which will be
available at the meeting.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
6. Resolution to approve revised rules, rates, and regulations.
One more time.
7. Resolution to approve contract with City of Lake Oswego to
purchase surplus water.
Mr. Deane Seeger, City Manager of Lake Oswego, has prepared a
contract for your review and consideration. (See attached). In
general, the contract appears acceptable. Ken Baines and I have a
few suggestions which will be discussed at the meeting.
Lake Oswego is particularly interested in serving the district
on a daily basis. CH2M estimates that by committing Lake Oswego to
providing water for Tigard would mean increasing the capacity of the
__ treatment plant 6 years earlier than originally planned. Lake Oswego
would use the revenue from Tigard to improve their capability to pro-
duce more water.
It was suggested that Tigard buy a minimum of $70,000 annually
at 14¢/100 cubic feet. I informed them that the Board desired to
continue pumping from the wells, and as the wells depleted, more and
more water would be purchased. A compromise minimum figure of $24,000
was offered and written into the proposed agreement.
The initial length of the contract would be 4 years with options
to renew the contract each 4 years thereafter.
To obtain a better understanding of this minimum figure, the
following data reflects the charges by Capitol Highway Water District
for 1972;
Month and Year Cubic Feet Cost
May 1972 158,900 $ 604
June 1972 1,978,700 7,519
July 1972 4,169,200 15,843
Aug 1972 4,909,000 18,654
AORK
Sep 1972 (est.) 1,942,000 7,380
13.157.800 $50.000
or 98.684.000 gallons
-3-
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
One can estimate that there will be at least a 10,$ increase
annually in water consumption by the TWD. Thus, savings would accrue
as follows: (It should be noted that $24,000 worth of 14¢ water
would cost $65,000 at 38¢).
Year Cost CHWD Cost L.O. Savings
1973 $ 55,000 $ 24,000 (min) $ 31,000
1974 60,500 24,000 (min) 36,500
1975 66,500 24,500 42,000
1976 73,200 27,000 46,200
1st 4 years: $155,700
1977 80,500 29,700 50,800
1978 88,500 32,700 55,800
1979 97,400 36,000 61,400
1980 107,100 39,600 67,500
2nd 4 years: $235,500
Total for 8 years: $391.200
It would appear that after 5 years the district's capital investment
would equalize the savings accrued by purchasing from Lake Oswego versus
Capitol Highway Water District.
Ownership of the main from I-5 to Waluga Reservoir was discussed.
It is mandatory that the master meter be set near the reservoir or if
the meter is installed near 1-5 that the district be rebated for any
subsequent connections between I-5 and the reservoir. If the latter is
the case, it should be included in the agreement contract.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
8. Resolution to approve lowest acceptable bid to install 4,000 feet
of 16-inch ductile iron pipe along S. W. Hall Boulevard, from Mac-
Donald to Bonita, and along Bonita, from Hall to Fanno Creek (75th).
At present, district personnel are involved with several main
installations of 6", 8", and 12" caliber. It is very important that
these mains be installed along with the 16" transmission main during
the good weather.
Bids have been received from two contractors (for labor only) to
install the main from Hall Boulevard and MacDonald to Fanno Creek on
Bonita Road. (4,000 feet). This is a very difficult section to
install and some special equipment will be required. Bids were as
follows:
Cornell Construction Co. (Forest Grove): $3.50/ft
Arndt-Colt Construction Co. (Portland): $4.37/ft
Bunyard and Pettitt (Portland): No Bid
It is estimated that $4,000 could be save in labor costs by
employing district personnel on this transmission line. However,
our personnel cannot perform all of the tasks that are pending.
It is estimated that an equivalent amount can be earned by district
personnel during the same period of time by installing smaller-sized
mains for developers; namely:
School District 23J: 900' of 6" behind THS
Burnham Park development: 1000' of 6"
Pathfinder development on Fonner:1200' of 6"
Apt. unit on 76th and Bonita: 400' of 8"
This does not mean that all 16" transmission mains should or will
be installed by private contractors. At this particular time there are
several other jobs to complete in addition to the concern to "beat the
bad weather".
Our goal is to have an alternate source of water by May 1st , 1973.
Help in the workload at this time would relieve the pressure.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
10. Purchase of 16" D.I. pipe (Class II)
Quotations were requested from the two pipe manufacturers for
20,000 lineal feet of 16" transmission main which is enough pipe to
connect to both Lake Oswego and Portland. These bids are valid for a
2-year period. Bids were as follows:
U. S. Pipe: $8.32/ft
Pacific States: $8.462/ft
11. Purchase of Bull Run water at Bradley Corners.
Elden Carter reported that Portland Bureau of Water Works has
agreed to a rebate agreement to the three water districts involved
for the 24" main to Bradley Corners. This was the main obstacle in
'400, the contract agreement.
It will be difficult to enforce the requirement that the TWD
be guaranteed 1/3 of the water in the line. The concept employed
by both Portland and Lake Oswego is that everyone is treated the
same with no priorities, except their own citizens. In other words,
everyone has an unlimited supply or everyone is restricted on water
usage. They believe it would be unfair, for example, to "cut-off"
one district entirely, but allow, at the same time, another district
unlimited water consumption.
The present status of the Portland agreement is as follows:
Mr. Birnie, attorney for both Metzger and Progress Water Districts,
is to meet with Ken Baines and prepare a legal contract for presentation
to the parties involved. It will be an inter-governmental type of
agreement. How long it will take Birnie to accomplish this is anybody's
guess.
12. Water from Scoggins Dam.
The City of Hillsboro is sponsoring a program to solicit assistance
from other cities and water districts on construction of mains and a
No., reservoir from the new Scoggins Dam which will be completed in about 4
years. The attached newspaper article describes the proposal. Total cost
of the project is $9.9 million, but will get a 45" transmission main to
the east side of Hillsboro only. Tigard is a long way from that point.
They have asked for a commitment by September 21st so that engineers can
proceed with the project.

13. New well.
A letter was written to Mr. Wm. S. Bartholomew, Oregon State
Geologist, requesting information whether the State Engineer would
accept our application to drill another well at the location
recommended by Mr. Newcomb. No response has been received.
The Oregon Board of Health also has restrictions on well sites,
some of which are noted below:
a. A map showing the source of supply, the proposed
location of the well, spring or diversion, drainage area involved,
known sources of ground water, general topography, the locations of
septic tanks and seepage pits, industrial waste, petrochemical
storage and any potential sources of chemical, physical or biological
contamination.
b. Laboratory data from a commercial laboratory, certified
by qualified personnel, attesting to the biological, chemical, radio-
logical and physical quality of the water as established by the O.S.B.H.
Bacteriological samples shall be submitted to the State Hygenic Labora-
tory for examination or to a laboratory approved by the State Hygenic
Laboratory.
c. Field data certified by qualified personnel attesting to
physical conditions such as well log, pump test, stream flow measurements,
flood levels and other data concerning the quantity of water as necessary
to determine the adequacy of the supply.
d. Documentation of legal requirements such as property
ownership, property easements, water rights or other state and local law
or regulations.
e. The transmission and distribution systems, with further
information as to the design flows, velocities and expected system pres-
sures.
f. The kind and character of the works for gathering, treating
and storing the water complete with engineering design data showing the
adequacy of the proposed works.
g. The services to be supplied, the expected water uses, average
and maximum demand flows and the reserve capacity provided for future
growth.

le..
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
h. When a well is to be provided for supplying either a
new or existing system, specifications for construction shall be
submitted to the division for review and approve' and shall be
approved before the well is drilled. As soon as available, a well
log, an analyses of the water as set forth above, a record of test
pumping with a pump rate versus drawdown curve and bacteriological
test results shall be submitted to the division. The project shall
be approved before the well is connected to the water system.
14. Inspection by Oregon State Board of Health.
It becomes more obvious every day that the O.S.B.H. will take
a more active role in carrying out its responsibilities to ensure
adequate, safe water for the citizens of Oregon. They recently
placed a ban on all new construction in the Aloha-Huber Water Dis-
trict because of an inadequate water supply.
At the instigation of a group of "Little Bull Mountain" residents
who object to the proposed Summerfield (King City II) project, the
O.S.B.H. made a complete inspection of the Tigard Water District. A
copy of the comments of the engineer is enclosed.
The corrections needed at the well sites will require lifting the
pumps with casings which involves contracting for a crane. The correc-
tions are not of an urgent nature, but should be accomplished as time
permits.
15. Purchase of terminal reservoir site.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Larson accepted the district's offer of $18,000
for 3.1 acres of land for a terminal reservoir site on S. W. 125th,
north of Bull Mountain Road. An earnest money agreement of $10 was
completed. The purchase is contingent upon obtaining a "conditional
use" permit to construct the reservoirs. Such application has been
submitted to Washington County.
This purchase will complete the district's reservoir site needs
for many years. With the 7 million gallons of storage now on hand,
reservoirs can also be constructed at the following locations:
-9-
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
125th and Gaarde (Larson) 10 million
Hi Tor (2nd tank) 1 million
#3 Site (2nd tank) 1 million
12 million
The ST&R Study indicates that 23 million gallons of storage will
be needed by year 2000 of which 19 million can be accounted for. It
should be noted that the district owns about 4- acre of land west of
reservoir #2. Unfortunately, the property is too low, at present, for
a reservoir site. Perhaps the land can be filled at some future date.
16. Fanno Creek crossing on Bonita Road.
In view of the Board's interest at the last meeting of making a
connection with Lake Oswego prior to Portland I re-examined the con-
struction plans to Lake Oswego. A crossing at Fanno Creek on Bonita
Road had to be accomplished prior to the rainy season. Accordingly,
after consultation with several members of the Board it was decided
to make this crossing now.
To eliminate a future need for a crossing at this location, a
24" D.I. (high pressure) transmission main was installed with a parallel
12" D.I. main next to it for domestic services.
Installation costs were estimated at $4,000. Cornell Construction
Company bid $3500 to install a 16" and a 12" main, and $3800 to install
a 24" and a 12" main. They were awarded the contract for $3800.
The completion of this crossing provides the Board with the option
of making a connection at either Lake Oswego or Bradley Corners by next
summer.

Gentlemenr.
I have asked for an appointment on your agenda at the September 12th
board meeting. The reason for this visit is as follows: Approximately
two years ago, I was approached by Dr. Martin Johnson (a board member)
about the possibility of dumping earth from the proposed reservoir on
my pasture land since it was the closest available site. I agreed
that this was possible and asked to have someone from the district
contact me. John Miller later stopped to see me and said that my site
was desirable. I then asked John about the leveling of the of the dirt
Now
piles and he definately said that this was no problem because this is
what the contractor commonly did in such situations.
The dumping of dirt was accomplished approximately one year ago and
since that time I have talked to John and Mr. Wiggins on numerous
occasions about when the leveling would be done. The replies have
been varied but that this would be done as soon as possible. About
two weeks ago I noticed that the equipment was being removed from
the reservoir site and so I once again asked about the leveling and
was informed for the first time that I would have to pay for this
service. I asked John about this and he expressed surprise, but then
told me that this was between me and hr. Wiggins.
My position is that I had a firm understanding with John, and that
At was his responsibility to complete the job committed to by him.
I am not asking the district to bear the burden of this cost, but
to implement the completion of this commitment by whatever means
available to them.
Sincerely,
Bob Bissett

Dear Bob:
I am enclosing, without any pride of authorship,
a proposed draft of agreement for consideration by your Board.
While the overall format conforms substantially to
the Agreement now in force with the City of Tualatin, I have
ter• tried to include language that reflects general "good faith under-
standings" tentatively reached in the course of our discussions
during the past few months. After a series of false starts, I
finally concluded that this might be best accomplished in a
"statement of purposes" (page 1, pgh. 4) .
If, after review by yourself and attorney, you wish
to present this draft to your Board, I am prepared to attend
your meeting. In the meantime, please feel free to present any
objections, comments or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Deane Seeger

AGREEMENT FOR WATER SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of
1972, by and between the CITY OF LAKE OSWEGO, a municipal corporation of
the State of Oregon, hereinafter called City, and the TIGARD WATER DISTRICT,
also a municipal corporation, hereinafter called District.
Witnesseth:
WHEREAS, District desires to obtain water from City and City is will-
ing to furnish such water upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
Now, Therefore, the parties hereto hereby agree to and with each other
as follows:
The services and commodity provided by City under the terms and pro-
visions of this Agreement are a special contract service and not provided by
City as a common utility service.
It is hereby declared to be the purpose of this Agreement to:
Nor
1. Make available to District surplus water supply from City to
reasonably meet District's normal daily requirements.
2. Guarantee to City an annual income of not less than $24,000
from sale of surplus water to District.
3. Establish a balanced schedule of purchase and delivery of
such water that will best serve the needs and requirements of
both City and District.
District recognizes and agrees that City will furnish and sell water
under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and it is the duty of City
to furnish water at normal volume and pressure to the City and its inhabi-
tants before selling or furnishing any water to District; however subject
to the above mentioned exceptions and those hereinafter set forth, City
will endeavor to maintain on its distribution system at the point of the
District's connection a normal volume and pressure flow.
District shall construct, at its own expense, all water system im-
provements necessary to connect the District system to the City system, in-
cluding a master meter, valves, controls and appurtenances, as approved by
City and as shown in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part of this
Agreement.
"' .' District agrees to pay monthly to City, on or before the 21st day of
each month, for all water delivered to District during the immediately
preceding calendar month at the rate of fourteen cents (140) per 100 cubic
feet as measured by the master meter at point of connection. It is further
understood and agreed that the aggregate of such monthly payments for each
12-month period, beginning with the effective date of this Agreement, shall
total not less than Twenty-four Thousand Dollars ($24,000.00) , for which
District will be entitled to receive up to 128,640,000 gallons of water for
said 12-month period.
Should the meter at any time fail to measure accurately the surplus
water passing through said meter, the charge for such water delivered during
the time the meter is out of order shall be based on the estimated volume of
water supplied as City and District may determine by using averages and
statistics for prior periods.
iwww
City reserves the right at any time to review the rate and schedule
of charges for surplus water heretofore made a part of this Agreement, and
to make such adjustment in the rates as may be found necessary in the sole
discretion of City, to reflect increased costs for the production and dis-
tribution of surplus water under this Agreement. In the event that Lake
Oswego adjusts and/or increases said rates, any increase shall not become
effective until not less than 60 days written notice of such rate change
is given to District.
This Agreement shall be effective, except as hereinafter provided,
for an initial period of four years from date of execution, and shall auto-
matically be renewed for subsequent four-year periods, subject to the pro-
visions hereinafter set forth.
This Agreement may be terminated by City at the end of the initial
four-year period, or the end of any subsequent four-year period, by giving
at least one year's written notice of its intention to do so upon City's
good faith determination that insufficient water is available to meet Dis-
trict's requirements and the requirements of City's own system. Termina-
tion may be effected by District upon the giving of not less than 60 days'
written notice to City for such reasons as District, in its sole discretion,
might determine.
City reserves the right to interrupt or curtail deliveries of surplus
wr, water to District, but in such event will make every reasonable effort to
give advance notice of service curtailment to District. District, in turn,
agrees to fully utilize other available supply sources during concurrent
periods of high demand upon District's and City's systems.
City shall own, operate, maintain, repair or replace all water system
facilities necessary to furnish water to the outlet side of the master water
meter used for measuring the quantity of water delivered to District, but
City shall make no separate charges to District for such maintenance, re-
pair or replacements.
Termination of this Agreement by either party for any lawful reason,
or non-delivery of water by City by reason of unavailability of surplus
water, shall not relieve District of any obligation for payments thereto-
fore accrued under this Agreement
This Agreement shall become effective upon execution by City and
District, and the obligations of both parties hereunder shall commence the
day and month water is first delivered by City to District.
In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
the day and year first above written.

Re: W - Tigard
Dear Mr. Santee:
DEPARTMENT OF
HUMAN RESOURCES On August 15, 1972, Bill Ross, Washington County Sanitarian, and I
JACOB TANZER conducted a sanitary survey of your water system and contacted John
Director Miller, Water Superintendent.
DIVISIONS
Health A review of your records of water storage in your reservoirs this
Children's Services
Corrections summer indicate that there has been a significant improvement in
Employment transmitting water from the Baylor reservoirs to the west end of
wr Mental Health
Special Programs your system to meet the peak demand conditions. This is accomplished
Vocational Rehabilitation in part by the installation of the Hunziker Road pumping station,
Welfare the surplus supply from the Capitol Highway Water District, and the
improvements of the distribution system in recent years.
During our survey we noted some changes needed at your existing wells.
The well casings do not extend above the concrete slab of the pump
house. These casings must be raised at least 18 inches above the slab
and be fitted with a sanitary well seal to prevent contamination en-
tering the top of the wells. In addition, the casing must have a vent.
This vent will allow free flow of air to prevent a vacuum in the casing.
The vent should be fitted with an elbow turned downward with a screen
to prevent contamination from being drawn into the well.
Reportedly, the oil lubricated pump for well #4 has developed leaks
causing a gradual accumulation of oil scum in the reservoir. This
well has a comparatively high operating cost because of its great
depth. The district should consider replacing this pump with a water
lubricated pump or use this well only as an emergency supply.
There is no auxiliary power provided for the booster pump stations.
Incase of electrical failure, the areas pressurized by the booster
stations will be out of water until the electricity is restored. In
order to increase the reliability of your system, the provision of
standby power should be included in the future planning of your system
grow improvement.
