Mayor Phillips called the meeting to order at 7:30 P. M., andsince
budget committee members were not all present, he called on Mr George Lewis,
chairman of the Chamber Of Commerce Steering Committee for the proposed
retirement home. '
Mr Lewis stated that the necessary comprehensive study needed prior to
the making of any plans or any committments had been under way for 4
o_r_5 months. The Committee had studied homes in the,western part of
the United States and checked some sites within the Tigard area. As
is customary when such information is aired land prices have a tendency
to sky-rocket and since the project is only an effort to provide living
quarters for elderly people of modest income, it was necessary that
costs be kept as low as possible and that is the major reason for keeping
the project 'quiet. The Committee has scoured the area for suitable sites
that could be served by public utilities. `While there are lots of open
space, when it comes to land 'suited to such a project those available
-
are very scarce. There are several quite suitable but none within the }
city limits of Tigard. The Committee had approached the Tigard City
Council on one practical, site and are awaiting word regarding sewer be-
fore anything further can be considered. There have been ro commit-
ments,
ommit ments, no options, nothing in the present status of the project to even
suggest anything can be done. Mr Lewis asked, is it possible for the
City of Tigard to make sewer available to this non-profit project which
would place no burden on the taxpayer,
Mayor Phillips' stated the City has no funds and what can be done legally
will need to be discussed, and he asked if funds have.been set aside to
provide`a sewer system. The Council would want to know what they have
to>cohtribute 'to such a,project. Based on present ordinance 150 living
units would figure about $37,500 plus additional for cafeteria, infirmary,
and so 'forth.
Councilman Verharen suggested the sewer`could'be run through an area
that could be developed as ;part of the City.
Attorney Anderson expressed that the Committee first get an option,
,that such a ,project would require' a lot of planning.' He suggested ;he
Committee first pick-a site, tie it down as to location and then 'the
Council would have something to work toward.
