and we ware soliciting all the organizations for funds so was
could erect the building for the Fire Departr;ent. I happened

We had a lot that came in later; these are the
original and still active today. Mr. Levin set up the meeting
and the people decided that they wanted a fire house and
the TAgard Water District wanted 225 square feet of floor
spaces 'agreement was made by the:p&rties`concerned- It was
pointed out the District needed an office building and this
property would prov_i le a suitak#le, locat4ons that the Tigard
Business Men'in`Club e�ssad if the'District would pay the
purchase price for thee`:property that it wouldflassigri it's

the $450:00. on accousit of construction costs for the prcpoeed
building end join withFyothor individuals, groom and organics:
ations in drives neclool to raise funds:to erect the fits
station building, such;building to contain ad
equat® epees
therein for offices for this District, not leas than 225

coup it.
Committees Were set up for the,planning,and con
stiruction,;they•consisted of the Chairman, Charlie Premo,
Art 'Plason,'Art Vincent„ Lyle Walker, Harold Johnson, Leonard
Vol Jake Lohrenz, deorge Youri and Walley Larson. .,They
drams up a set of plans and got the approval of the Tualatin
Rurual Fire District. Before ers got our plena finished and
started construction of the Nuildirg we enlarged the building',
to 721 x'66' and instead of the,225 square feet of water
space, are 'gave them 15" x 25' for. a water office. Zrlthe
agreement the Water office was tri be finished by the Water
District and was 'strictly their o-#i the Community hall was
for the Com=unity and the Fire Hall for the Fire Department.

Wahad to raise funds asnd'contract for the rest of the
building to b.&•`fin ishad. We elot'the Chamber.of Commerce to
underwrite $700.00 for the roof i wthe Water'Board went .ahead
and prepared to finish that room. we warn short-in the n0gha
borbood of _$2000'.00. .Pix. Mason &Ad.mr,R#,ewia called on the

`. th�:lJiatriet co31d t a . for that
te e. -r, to give hits tib bsr`i e ig a '`thy
aaBtter and after a couple of Voehs he Cam up with the r
to the problem so instead of $2084.00 -the Water District
contributed $2$00.00 toward the building, tho c6MIGtod cast
of which was $30.000.00.
About that time we were working on the leasoa between
the water District and the Fire District. We got & lease
agree)nant but the Hater Board, nor the Tualatin Rural Fire
nistric a neither --anted to handle the management of the
building. The.Tigard Fire Council',was supposed to disband
since we hAd never undertaken anything but to buil("the
buil4ing.. We got the-contrrict signed between the WAt®r
Distxict and the Fires District; than Chief Barngraver put the
equipment in the Fire Department.
The Water District tried to get the Tigard• rirea
actotszacil to h&ve'the Chamber of ccq=*. rce or the Lions Club

E That brings uo pretty much'up-ta�date as to.how the
situation was set up and how it stands ,today; the, Water District
in handling the building as Trustee for the Tigard riga Council,
At this time I wruld.like to call on Ivan Jack and ask,
if ha has anything to report for his 5,years as Chairman.
Ivan Jacks x.11 I have to report would be more or less
rh,. e` mmunity Board. The council has otsartited
as a 5 man board for the past i or's years and we are very,
much of a policy that we.rrill operate the hall as cheaply as
poe�.nible to the residents; it was never intended to be a money

different organizations that;bave helpad to maintain and
contribute various items. The' Chamber of Commerce; Tigard
Lions Club and the American Legion have gone ahasad each year
and put something into the Community Center. The Chamber apd
thw Lions Club each paid half of the cost of the chairs and
the Lions Club paid for the clock and the American`Legion has
[ made-various iinprrvements.
At this time, r. •Jack went into detail with respect
to the organizations using-'the Community Center-and the
charges-,which have been established foA the variousi meetings
