Minutes of the meeting of April 18, 1062 read. Councilman Hanneman stated that the meeting had not adjourned to the Birches but was moved to the Birches. Mayor 'Phillips'agreed. Councilman Hanneman also questioned Ue that the meeting was adjourned «t all at George Lewis. Mayor Phillips agreed that ithadnot been-adjourned. At this point Mr Francis J Cooper from the floor, arose to state his rights had been denied him. He read from ORS 221.908 to the effect that it is unlawful for City 1'i Councils to hold closed meetings. Attorney Anderson called atten- tion to ORS 221.010 ,and 221.120 public meetings must be held at least once each month but, he expressed that there is no law prohib- iting executive sessions of a City Council. He pointed out that y the section referred to by Mr Cooper was part of the Incorporation Act of 1893 and was inapplicable to the City of Tigard, which was incorporated in 1961 under lateralternativeprocedure. Attorney Anderson in his capacity as the Council's legal advisor, held that the Council was entirely within 'it's rights in holding an executive session without benefit ofaudience. Mr Cooper insisted his rights e had been denied but was unable to identify what rights he'felt were so'denied due to interruptions. Magor Phillips called for order and explained the reason for theb Closedexecutive...session in order'.to.protect the,.privacy of the real estate transaction proposed and in an effort to get facts as to the possibilities for extending the sewer to the area under con- sideration for a retirement home. Y_ Councilman Hanneman stated to Attorney Anderson that Mr Cooper's intent was to determine the legality of a'City ,Council`excluding the public from a meeting not adjourned. Mr Cooper asked if any'committments:had been made at the April 18, :1962 meeting. Mayor Phillips stated none had been made. The clerk was instructed to proceed with the reading of the Minutes of the meetigg of May, 2, 19v2, which were approved as read. �S Mayor Phillips then called on`visitors who wished to present requests Mr R T Barton stated he would be interested in a taxi cab license F and offered his help in preparati.on.of an ordinance for suchia service,"""` stating that while the City of Tigard was not likely to support a taxi cabs it was his plan to;serve 'the Tigard-Tualatin area. Mr Barton was asked to submit his proposal in writing.', 5-7-62' Page l s Mr Framcis J'Cooper, 12875 S W Watkins, then requested a review to correct his sewer assessment, which he protests in error asto the footage. Attorney Anderson expressed that the City of Tigard can- not reviews nor adjust any assessments made by the Tigard Sanitary District, that a written notice had been sent each property owner establishing a time within which protests would be heard, and that Mr Cooper should have filed his Protest within the specified:time. Mr Cooper stated emphatically that he had never received such a notice. Mayor Phillips stated the records would be checked and a written reply sent Mr Cooper by Attorney Anderson. a -Mr Joe Catancso of the Wild Rhino Restaurant at the Tigard Plaza j, was then heard in regard to installation of'a garbage disposal in his } -restaurant contrary to City Ordinance. Mr Catanese stated he had no information that the installationof a garbage disposal was illegal, that he had the same equipment at his restaurant in the Lloyd Center, that to remove the equipment would be costly and necessitate the use of garbage cans which are unsightly. Mr Catanese statdd the disposal is used only for scraps from the diners tables and not for heavy gar- bage nor arbagenor vegetable trimmings. Councilman Woodard and Superintendent Janoe stated that both Mr Otto, manager of the Tigard Plaza, and the plumber had been informed specifically that a commercial garbage dis- posal was illegal., Mr Catanese stated he would not willfully break the law, that he;appeared now to learn if some equitable settlement is possible. Councilman Woodard stated the suggested cost by;the Sanitary Board was Fifty Cents a day for use of the disposal and $100.00 installment fee. Councilman Verharen expressed that this is not the place to set fees. Mayor Phillips requested Mr Catanese to provide the Council with a letter statigg the facts for review by the Council and a`written'decision would be sent Mr Catanese. Mr Clarence Juergens who had appeared at the meeting of April 16, 1962, requestigg that he be considered for the rubbish collection service, had not presented his proposal and did not appea:Vat the meeting. Mayor Phillips then called on Mr Herbert Frank of Frank's:Sanitary Service, and the' Franchise for the City rubbish collection was dis- cussed. Mr Frank found the Franchise agreeable with minor changes. Attorney Anderson was requested to include the provision for re- negotiation each year, and prepare the ordinance for acceptance at the regular Council meeting on May 21, 1962. Mr Bud'Kyle, 12825 S W Grant, asked to be heard and presented a`letter' (herewith) regarding the traffic and parkigg problem created in that area by the use of Charles F Tigard school grounds for the Little League baseball dames. Mayor Phillips turned this 'problem over to Councilmen Hanneman and Woodard for follow-up. ,Councilman Verharen complimented Mr Ryle for the excellent manner in which his request was presented. Mr Joe Schultze, 10665 S W,Johnson, then stated that Johnson Street was in bad shape, that it was his understanding, and that of other residents of the area that after installation of the sewer that street: r 5-7-•62 Page 2. was to receive one lift. Councilman Woodard and Superintendent Janoe stated the one lift had been applied, and road contractor Owen Snyder stated that he personally had applied the one lift, but thattheroad bed had been very soft. -Mayor Phillipsrequested Councilman Hanneman ;T and Councilman Woodard to make a check of the street, Mayor .Phillips then called on Councilman Woodard for his report• which follows: The 'Video Scan had revealed a stoppage of the sewer line undertherailroad tracks (written report herewith) .' Engineer Carter had arranged with the railroad for permission to dig at the tracks a and the area is being dug up today in an effort to learn what steps <' will be necessary to correct the difficulty. A letter had been re- ceived from Mr'Otto of the Tigard Plaza, protesting the two sewer service'charges at the office occupied by himself and temporarily by Jean's Floral Shop (letter herewith) . Councilman Woodaad again pointed out the difficulty-in checking in- stallations at the Tigard Plaza since no plans are available and changes are constantly being made. Presently there is difficulty in learning just what openings there will be in the 'dentist's office which is :being installed. Councilman Woodard MOVED that the Council approve the expense of a ' survey of the land,at the location of the sewer plant. SECODD by . Councilman Verharen, and approved Councilman Woodard stated a 15 inch drain pipe should be laid after the survey. The Sanitary Authorities inspection had been made, reported Council- man Woodard, and they had agreed that the plan to double the plant capacity was a,good idea, also the 24 inch line to-service"West side residents. The Sanitary Authorities had also checked the manhole at the Nalley Plant and found that the 4 inch force line was half-filled with hard sludge. Nalley's are aware of the situation and have since �j had a roto-rooter clear the line, which hopefully will help;the difficulty. Councilman Woodard suggested cards be printed up for the use of the Superintendent in issuing permits,'inspections and stop-orders. The Council approved, and it was agreed Superintendent Janoe and co man Woodard check with Attorney Anderson for proper and necessary wording, and secure the cards. Councilman Verharen reported we had lost the battle for getting Tigard freight rates comparable to those of the Hunziker Industrial area, it was Councilman Verharen s;opinion that it would have been better to have had repre3entatives from industry approach Pacific Inland 'Tar- iff Bureau, rather than representative of the City Council. ' He sug- gested each councilman dig into this and talk with industry and com- mon'carriers in an effort to,get favorable action. =Since Vancouver has the same freight rates as Portland it would seem something can be 'done to get Tigard's the same as Portland also. 5-7-62 Page 3 Attorney Anderson expressed the need to get dates as to when and what sewer connections were madeatthe Voaet Building,,' Mr Voget feels that since he, paid once that should take care of all future sewer connections, Councilman Verharen MOVED that we proceed with the nec- essary steps to determine`Mr Voget's indebtedness to the City for sewer connections. SECOND by Councilman Woodard, and approved, Mayor Phillips reported a call from Mr Oleson of Beaverton Rural Fire District, advising that-they have a 1000 gallonpumperavailable for requested Councilman Aitken to check the Tigard area at no cost. He with Attorney Anderson for the information needed as to how to proceed Q.I with Beaverton Rural Fire District. t Attorney Anderson had not checked out the latest ruling on business permits as outlined in the League of Oregon Cities Manual, but ex- pressed t mac. pressed that under ORS 221.440'except`for cities of-.9000 than 10,500 population no statutory authority exists for' licensiny- for the purpose of revenue - this may be done under Charter provisions. Since a' city Charter will be offered to voters by fall, the matter of business licenses for revenum purposes could"await the city charter. Councilman Hanneman stated he felt the need to have the Minutes for - Attorney Alderson concurred but expressed guidance between meetings. that it is the duty of the'clerk to make the Minutes conform to what actually happens, that Minutes are not necessarily a finalized docu- ment when approved. `Councilman Hanneman MOVED that the Minutes, at #, least in rough draft, be mailed to the Councilmen within two days after each meetiag. SECOND by Councilman Aitken, and approved. ' v Councilman Hanneman stated the County is working up certain general restrictions regarding the use of the Eastham;property, and how to proceed; and this information will be presented at a: Council meeting, of at a meeting of the Parks and Recreation Committee. NoXbU9(J further had been heard by Councilman'Hanneman from Engineers Caufield & Caufield regarding the entrance to Main Street via Center Street, and the Street Sigas must wait until after July 1, 1962. Mayor Phillips reported 16.building permits have been issued to date, 3;within the last week - 2'are,pedding change in zoning from single family residence to duplex. Regardigg the application for permit for the 12 unit apartment on Highway 217, the A-2 zoning requires 18,000 square feet of land. The .land planned for the unit is just 16, JO square feet; but since it is on the sewer it;is felt that �^ r area,would be adequate. Plans showing ;the placing of the buildings were shown the Council. councilman Verharen MOVED that Mr Ernie Piluso be'issued a building permit for the 12 unit apartment at 12285 S i Highway,217. SECOND by Councilman Hanneman, and approved. Mayor Phillips instructed the clerk to give Mr Piluso copies of Ordin antes 62-1 and 62-2`when he gets the Permits so there will be no misunderstanding in that regard.` x 5-7=62 Page 4. Mayor Phillips named the following 9 residents to serve on a Citizens' Budget Committee: Owen Snyder, Al Pietila, K K Rutherford, Lou Girod, Bill Webber, A A Biederman, Del Ball, Art Mason and Mrs Nancy Steele. Attorney Anderson expressed that there,should be one committeeman for each council member, and that the terms should be staggered 1, 2 and 3 years, in order to avoid an entirely new committee each year. Those chosen weret', Al Pietila - 3 year term K K Rutherford I,year term Lou Girod - 3 year term Bill Webber 2 year term Del Ball - 2'year term Mrs Nancy Steele - alternate Mayor Phillips asked the clerk to call the members of the Budget Com- mittee for acceptance of the appointments and arrange a Budget Meeting Friday, May 11, 1962, at 7:30 P.
