Mayor Woodard: Before we hear from the visitors, we,would
request Mr. Peter Wo Heintz be sworn in as Councilman by
Attorney Anderson. (At this point, Attorney Anderson
administered the Oath of Office to PeterIT. -Heintz, whos
then took his place as Councilman.)
Mayor Woodard: We will now hear from anyone who has something
they wish to present to Council.
Mr. Russell Struchen,, of the Betty Kies Realty Company, spoke
in reference to a piece of property, 8.23 acres, 'south of
Tigard Street and west of the City limits. He stated he
needed a Zone change and thought it necessary to annex to
the City of-:Tigard; he felt the property should be Zoned b:-3
and sought information as to learning the possibmlity of
securing the Zone change upon annexation to the City. It was
explained to Mr. Struchen that', it would be best for him to
follow the regular procedures with respect to annexation and
then 'make application for a Zone change. Attorney Anderson �
went into :the matter fully and suggested Mr. Struchen secure
from 'him the necessary form for annexation :and then follow
the orderly procedure for Zone change. The general discussion
with respect to the duly proposed use of the property and
it's location, was entered into by all members of Council
and Attorney Anderson. ,Superintendent Janoe advised the
property-is across the creek and goes to the railroad right-
of-way and is adjacent to the City limits. Mr. Struchen

advised he was not aware of the detailed proposed use of the
property but understood it was for the assembly of parts
shipped in from other sections"of-the country but that it
was not heavy assembly work. The question was raised with
respect to the sewer and City superintendent Janoe stated
he had informed Mr. Struchen that at the present time there
were no facilities for sanitation but the City has been
thinking of a trunk line up there. Superinteddent Janoe
informed Council Tigard Avenue was deep enough and it would
go doom Tigard Avenue on gravity flow.
Mayor Woodard sucjested to Mr.' Struchen start out;by gettinc
the necessary forms from the Attorney, following the regular
procedures,advisinq it would be up to him to put the sewer
in the location.
Attorney Anderson: I will need a legal description of the
area.
Mr. Barris Hansen, ,President of the Junior Chamber of Commerce
then addressed the Council stating, the organization would
like to,assist in whatever way they can in promoting the
Charter; that it had been reviewedd and it was felt by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce to be a good Charter.
Attorney,Anderson: I think that is very fine, I think one
of the things is that you havereviewedit carefully and
anything you can do to keep it before the people will be
very fine.
Mayor Woodard and the Council expressed their appreciation
toward.Mr.-Hansen's efforts.
Mr. E. G. Kyle then addressed the Council: I am also from
the Junior Chamber of Commerce. I am very happy at this time
to present to the Tigard City Park Fund>a check for $30.00.
I am very sorry it can't be for a larger amount. This conies
as a result of the "Tigard nay" celebration and we hope the
Council will again cooperate with us in the next years'
celebration.
AttorneyAnderson: If the Council"thinks it proper and if
you feel I can be of any help to show low important the
Charteris, maybe I could come out and present that in a
much more simple manner.
Councilman Hanneman: ' At the last meeting I&Was )requested6o
secure the presence of Mr. Lind of Securities Intermountain
to clarify the matter of the proposed Retirement Home in
Tigard. ' I received a letter as follows`: (reading letter)
I might add t-o'that, -that the decision that the matter is
closed is a surprise to the entire Council as I believe) we
el were not:advised that it was closed, so to answer Mr. Lind's
letter I`will merely state those facts and offer to him a
copy of the Minutes of May llth, which was the' last 'the
Council heard from the sponsoring organization on the
10-22--62 - Page 2.
Retirement Homeand the final statement appearing in our
Minutes was "It was agreed Council would await more definite'
word from the Committee";more or less to clarify with him
my reasons for asking him, to attend.
Councilman Cooper stated in his opinion the information should
be more specific with respect to those ina.king the statements
reflecting on the Council and the details with respect to the
sewer costs,
Councilman Hanneman Thanks to the Junior Chamber, not all
of our ;honey is "out-go". I received the bill for pavinc.,,
$7,904.98, turned in last week. As far as this new access
to the City of Tigard, known as the "Caulfield Report", I
believe we will allow that to wait until the ne�rt meeting,
until the Council rets a chance to read it over. Other than
that, Mr. Mayor, just a couple questions to Attorney Anderson.
is there anything further on the park case?
Attorney Anderson.. No, there is not; we are going to ret
together with Mr. v attorney to work out a description.
Councilman Hanneman: Our "No Parking" Ordinance?
Attorney Anderson: I have one roughed out here but since I
am not sure I understood these drawings, I will need some
nypl_anatipn 1—fc-a T.finally prepare the ordinance. ._.-
this point Attorney Anderson and Councilman Hanneman checked
the drawings and arrived at the proper locations.)
Councilman Cooper: There is one thing I would like to bring
up and that is Fowler Junior High; the number of children
that are darting between traffic.
Mayor Woodard: There is a pushbutton signal there.
Councilman Cooper: Would it be possible to send a letter
to the Junior High principal, asking, him to remind the
children to use the lights put there for their own,safety.
Attorney Anderson also expressed his knowledge of the
conditions there and having seen hoi the children sometimes
disregard the lights.
Mayor Woodard: Would you be willing to write such a letter? ,
Attorney Anderson: Yes. (A copy of Mr. Anderson's letter
to Mr. Delbert Fennell, Superintendent and Mr. Darwin Shinn,
Principal of Fowler Jr. High School is on file with the City
Clerk.)
Councilman Cooper then brought up the question of a traffic
light at St Anthony's School and Councilman Hanneman said
he would appreciate some assistance.:
Mayor Woodard: I would 'suggest that Councilman Cooper work
along with Councilman Hanneman to see what can be done.
Councilman Cooper:• I would like to ask Mr.' Hansen if his
10-?.2-62 organization would do something about that.
Page 3.
Councilman Hanneman: I would like to suggest it be handled
by the City with the Junior Chamber's support.
Councilman Hannernan: This check from the Tigard Junior.
Chamber for $30.00, 2 would propose it he deposited in the
U. S. National Bank, in the Park Fund., separate from the
City funds entirely.
Councilman Cooper: I have been trying to contact Mr. Savage,
he has been out of town. I will try tomorrow evening to
get him again.
Attorney Anderson: I have a matter or two I might mention;
The City of Tigard may have to defend a suit brought by "
Wally P•.. Johnson, around the laying of the sewer. I suggest
I should be authorized to;represent the City in reference
to this and do what I think is professionally necessary.
Councilman Cooper: I move that Attorney Anderson take the
necessary steps to pursue this matter to a conclusion.
Motion,seconded.by Councilman Heintz and unanimouslv approved
by Council. -
Attorney Anderson: (Addressing Mayor Woodard) I handed
a copy of a letter to you, I do not have any contract between
the Fire District and the city. The othew—atters involve
only the election; I know we have done everythingnow,
everything this week in order to get the election in proper
persl cctivc. The Ga,t,la ballot :should be .ceady''Thut's ay.
Twill have to have the names of the candidates as early
next week as I can and get then on the sample ballot and
also gettheballots'produced. Other than that, I'do not
think there is;any problem on the election. The Bancroft
Bond issue is approved with some minor additional proofs
required by the bond examiners and we will have them printed
by November 1st. I'have not forgotten about the Vouet
and the City office matters. '
Mayor Woodard: Did Mr. Carter see you about the sewer
going through this property?
Attorney Anderson: He sent-me some data and I.intend to
get together with Ed Wheelock and take whatever'steps I
can to get the thing in proper perspective.
Mayor Woodard at ,this time read a letter from the Tigard
Water,Board.
Mayor-Woodard: The answer there is that you will have to
take it up with both of them before doing anything.
Attorney Anderson: Mayor Phillips told me to prepare this
agreement, I was not sure whether he talked to the Water
People or Fire people, I think it is:merely a matter of
proper liason, they now feel they should not have anything
to do with it. 14 do not know what the Water Board's
attitude is.
At this point, City Superintendent Janoe went over the full
10-22-62 - Page 4.
history _and present situation with respect to 'the buildincr
and statins that a meeting of the Fire Council would be
called for nert month an,9, Iie felt rAprosentatives of all
the, Councils should-sit clown and restate tine position with
respect to this building and that the buildi:nc_ floes not
belong to the Water District.
Attornev Anderson said lie felt what Sumeri-ntendent Janoo
stated was correct, the water District holds this buil(linc
in trust, there was a question *whether tlicy would deed the
lot or hold it and become ':ru^tee. I t.in% it would. be,
well if Superintendent , oe is c;oing to call a meeti.nc o3'
the Fire Council, to have ever-vbocly sit rinwn and review i-{t
again. Attorney Anderson further said that maybe rre can
work out something whereby this buildin:: can be re,Cdlicatecr
to it's orir_inal purpose; it should be brought into proper
perspective before we necrotiate,
Councilman Cooper: I suggest the City request Attorney
Anderson to attend this ineetinq to take care of the interests
of the City.
Mayor Woodard: 'That meeting w^uld consist of the Water a oar(,,
Fire council and the Ci-tp Council. Could we hac_n this meeting
on a S'onday night when ..c ha-vc- no Council r.eetinc^
Superintendent Janoe: I must call a special n:ectinc;.
Councilman IIanneran: I would make,a motion that Superintendent
Janoe call the parties for this r,;eeting, a representative of
each croup be there together with Attorncy Anderson, to r-et
abetter understanding o3_ the build-inc. Seconde by Council-
man Heintz. Unanimously arproved by Council_
Mayor Woodard: :I have:a proposal here from tile Fire Council;
this should have been'brouc]it uP by Mr. Phillips in regarr!
to paying a charge for;our night ;neetings. i•r.` Phill:i.ps has
never brought it?up; 'now we are asked to 'pay for meetings
from January 1962 to October," as listed, 39 reetangs.
Ordinarily the charge would be $5.00 per meeting but we
should not be responsible for back �,r ls` since we were
never notified, ;my understanding was/were' cetting this at
a free basis. I suggest that if we paid $75.00 for the
year, it would be proper. I would;like to hear from the
members of Council.
Councilman Beintz: You are fi.curing on paying $5.00 a-
meeting as of now?
Mayor Woodard: No, I ficruredon paying $75.00 for this
year, 1962.
City Superint8ndent Janoe: I think $75-00 would be
agreeable;with the Fire Council and the T-anacinci Committee
for this building.
