Minutes of Meeting June 19, 1962, read and approved. -Mr Wallace E Johnson, owner of property fronting Johnson Street be- tween Pacific Highway and S W Grant, requested to know what could be done to put the ground in proper condition since the laying of the sewer. The sewer line, according to Mr Johnson, was laid above ground, and sincenegotiations'in process for development of the property are being held up pending the City's completion of the Tigard Sanitary District's agreement "to put the ground back in the same condition as before" he feels some definite plan is necessary. _Councilman Verharen expressed that the City has a moral responsi- bility here, and after discussion Mayor Phillips requested Mr John- son to provide Attorney Anderson with copy of the easement, which was executed by the owner previous to Mr Johnson, and the problem would be considered. Councilman Woodard reported Charles F Tigard Grade School Board's payment of the balance of the sewer assessment, without interest, had been accepted. Regarding the Nalley Plant problem, the Charl- ton'Laboratory report of analysis together with report of a 'two week sampling and testing at Hillsboro, should be ready''£or next Council meeting. Letters have been sent property owners Blair, Palmer, Craven and Hunziker, advising that sewer service charges prior: to July 1962, would be cancelled, that they may now connect to the sewer line without assessment,' but at the regular connection charge, service charge to commence as of July 1962, whether or not they;have connected. Councilman Woodard; questioned the amount of $66,900 fire insurance coverage, which premium of $270.27 is due July 1, `1962, expressing that it seemed there is not that amount of material that would burn. ' And since Attorney Anderson is presently studying;the boiler policy which, it appears,` does not cover for the steam damage recently, suffered at the plant, it was agreed the fire policy would be;given him for study also. Councilman Woodard turned Mrs E C Warner's letter of complaint, re- garding sewer disconnect'charge, over to Mayor Phillips for reply. Councilman Verharen brought up the matter of purchase of an adding machine a^d meog aph for office use Councilman Woodard MOVED that themimeograph costing $390.00 be purchased, and that the Clary ; Adding Machine be purchased from Mr Propst at a cost of $160.00. A service contract on the adding,machine also be purchased at a cost of $26.40 for one ,year. SECOND by Councilman Verharen, ;and approved. Councilman Verharen reported having talked with Mr Miller of Qualser Lumber Company, learning he will rent his building on the corner of Commercial and Main Streets for $200.00 per month; and that 500 square feet of space at the Tigard Plaza would cost $125°.00 per month. Counc-'_man Hanneman suggested that Councilman Verharen prepare some 7-2-62 Page`.1. figures as to the rent cost per square foot for various available office space, what equipment if any is available, and that some publicity be given showing comparisons. Mayor Phillips stated the Council should decide what is to be done about the lease-option on the v�icant bank building which calls for a rental of $100.00 month- ly. It was planned Attorney Anderson would talk with Mr Meyers of the U S Bank, advising that decision will be made after the election of July 9, '1962. Harris Hansen, President of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, intro- duced Ted Michael, Chairman of their Get-Out-the Vote Committee, who'told of their plan for a baby-sitter service, transportation to and fro, and a direct-mail letter to each registered voter, notify- ing of the date and place of the election. The Council expressed appreciation for the splendid cooperation of the Jaycees. Councilman Hanneman reported a letter and Resolution from the State Speed Control Board, notifying of their decision toposta 40 MPH' speed limit, and posting of 3 stop street signs, and reouestincr a reply by July 19, 1962. Washington County_has`agreed to cooperate in the erecting of the 3 stop signs. However, Councilman Hanneman expressed his opposition to the 40 MPH on Walnut Street, and the Council concurred unanimously. It is Councilman Hanneman's opinion that 30MPHspeed limit within the City limits would be a much safer speed. The Council unanimously approved Councilman Hanneman's letter so suggesting ,to the Speed Control Board. Councilman Hanneman had requested the County's cooperation on street paving work for 1962-63, and it was agreed to makesomesort of split on re-paving or bringing the roads up to standard, the City to ac- cept' the streets after one year. There are 6.1 miles of County roads within the City, and with $10,000.00 appropriation in 3 years, it might be;possible to keep up the county,roads within the City. There was discussion of the 2miles of dedicated private roads with- in the City, and McKenzie Street which is much traveled and in very bad shape. , There was question whether the City can take McKenzie Street and make it an improvement district.; Councilman Hanneman suggested splitting the road fund on the basis of 2/3 to the County program and 1/3 on private main streets, and accept them after the .,State brings them-up to County standard. There was discussion of approaching property owners on the streets in the;poorest condition for contributions toward improvement. However, this proposal would then need to be offered other property owners and it was recommended` decision be withheld until the State is heard from. It was estimat-r ed the cost would be 504 per running 'foot for both sides of a :street. Councilman Hanneman felt a temporary job would not be economical, since eventually the work will have to be done on permanent'`basis.; Councilman Hanneman learned from Engineer Caufield' that 'the prelim- inary.plan for a new access route to'Tigard Main Street had been turned over to Tigard Development Corporation on June 19, 1962; and any further information will be forthcoming from Tigard Development Corporation. Regarding the Eastham property,' there appears to be some'disagree- ment among members of the County Court regarding transfer of this property to Tigard for a;Park. , Councilman Hanneman felt_ the oppos- ition was unwarranted, but that any action must now await the`'return of Judge Jaross, who is pr?sently out of town. Attorney; Anderson stated that Mr Eastham will be here about July 10, 1962,- and it is his opinion that Mr Eastham will conform to anything we wish, since it is his wish that the 'property be used for a park. 7-2-62 Page,2. s REM Councilman Hanneman brought up the need for an Ordinance regarding uncared'for and unsightly property within the City, some in such shape as tocreate a definite fire hazard.. in this connection Mayor Phillips read a`letter from Hobert W Campbell, 13025 S W Grant, regarding property on Grant Street where weeds and grass have 'grown up to constitute a fire hazard. It was planned Attorney Anderson would talk with Fire Chief Barngrover regarding that District's fire ordinance,,and prepare a City ordinance if the Tualatin Rural Fire, District Ordinance does not cover the situation. Mayor Phillips reported talking with Mr Crawford of the Beaverton Rural Fire District, and their written proposal for Tigard Fire pro- tection, giving details as to cost, legal steps necessary, etc., should be received this week. While it is too late to accomplish anything this year, it is hopedthat by getting,the information now, a complete comparative study can be readied for next year. Council- man Aitken to get the information regarding equipment and housing,' ` so that all: information will be in hand for a decision far enough in advance to allow good planning for next year. Councilman Woodard reported suit has beenfiledin Circuit Court by Tigard Shopping Plaza, Inc., and MOVED that Attorney Anderson be re- quested to represent the City of Tigard and get any necessary infor- mation regarding the former Tigard Sanitary District from Attorney Ed Wheelock.` SECOND by Councilman Hanneman, and approved. Attorney Anderson briefly stated the position of the Tigard Plaza in the re- cent Summons, and expressed his belief that our position is defensible. Attorney Anderson expressed that the Sub-division ordinance should be considered,by the City Engineer as to standards, and suggested it might be-well -to hold off until the planning and zoning is establish- ed, since it is best not to legislate unless we legislate well, and do a thorough job. The procedure to be followed for meetings has not yet been readied by Attorney Anderson. Mayor Phillips reported a request for zone change from R-7 (residen- tial) to A-2 (apa"rtments) at 9350 and 9460;5 W Tigard between Grant and Highway 99, wher6 apartments are anticipated on a 2 'acre plot. This is to be ch<cked into and taken up with the applicant.
