work for the City, fee to be agreed upon, also the matter of
Mr Heffleyts acting as consultant for the City.
Mayor Phillips also reported a meeting with Mr Herb Frank, regard-
ing Sanitary, Se„vice Franchise. Consideration had been given to com-
bining the
ombining`,the rubbish collection fees with City sewer fees, this could
mean more money for the City ;than under a permit arrangement, in'ad-
dition to eliminating the disposal of rubbish in unsatisfactory manner.
Mr Frank had pointed out that not all residents of the City are San-
itary Service patrons, and that he is set up to do the combined billing.
It was learned some cities' revenue is based on $25.00 per truck per
year, the disposal site being owned and maintained by the collector;
other citi es r operate on apercentage of the gross take, and only 7
cities in the state collect their own refuse. The matter is being
considered further and definite information provided as to just how
many;Sanitary Service patrons there are within the City.
Councilman Woodard presented Engineer Carter, and the problem of the
necessary testing attheNalley plant was discussed. Experience
there indicates the potato chip industry gives a heavy load, but
that there has been less difficulty since,Nalley's treatment plan
has improved. The problem now is vvhien' tests can be made that will
be fair to:Nalleyts as well as to the sewer plant, and it was expres-
sed the Charlton Laboratories, an independent service might do the
testing since the State prefers not to. Presently Nailey's are not
running full time, and Superintendent)Janoe felt that March through
September,would be`:their peak season.: Engineer Carter felt that
tests'should be taken atl'the manhole where the plant discharges dur-
ing the day and at;their clean-up period, which apparently "slugs"
the plant pretty hard at times.` Engineer Carter recommended attempt-
ing some scheduled;agreement since Nalleyts have been cooperative.
It was agreed Engineer Carter would write Nalleyts with 'copy to the
Council, requesting when a typical test could betaken, since it would
oem-that minimum_,-:could be established at this ti Tree
The problem of future planning 'fcr expansion of the sewer plant was
discussed. -Engineer Carter stated that the;present plant is a°good
one for it's size,';but 'there is:the expansion problem. The activated
sludge type, combining raw sewage with oxygen, which combine quickly,
has been accepted by many new plants, and is in use at"Hillsboro.
He suggested the Council;visit the Hillsboro plant. The activated
sludge type plarl be readily enlarged and if considered score use `
could be made of the present plant; in Engineer Carters'opinion it
might,be possible to use about "80% of present plant equipment.' It
was .expressed that Tigard cannot ,grow until the sewage 'system is im-
proved. The possibility of joining with Metzger was discussed, and
it was agreed this mould be approached after the Metzger bond elec-
tion. Engineer Carter stated,that Federal Grant is available. It
was agreed doubling the present plant` is not the answer.

The question of Contractor Klock's requzst to use "Y" sewer connec-
tions;was discussed, Engineer Carter pointing out the problems that
arise in maintenance of the system and the City's responsibility to
maintain the system outside the owner's property. In his opinion
it is best tomaintain standard practice of separate laterals to each
lot, said laterals at least 10 feet apart, sewer lines down the center'
of the street, and 'water lines on the South or East side of the street`.
It was agreed the Council would consider the problem aril w.ite Mr Klock
their decision.
The matter of`sewer construction deposit was brought up by Mr Klock,
this is to be considered, legal opinion obtained and Mr Klock advised
of the Council's decision.
Councilman Woodard brought up the matter of the City adopting other
Sanitary District ordinances, and it was planned-he-would discuss
this with Attorney Anderson and present for the Council's -further
consideration:
i Mayor Phillips read a letter from MrEdwardBrady, freight rates
consultant, regarding standardizing freight rates to Tigard,: and
it was planned he would'meet with the Council at the February 12, 1962
