Fred and I met Friday afternoon and decided the most appropriate action for the City to take is to consent to the exact terms of the Public Utility Commissioners order. This action will have the effect of 1) putting the City on the positive side of the _ issue from a public relations standpoint and 2) possibly avoiding additional costs being allocated to the City as a result of further railroad action. This consent should be by resolution of the Council. Fred will have the proper resolution for presentation and action after a more detailed oral explanaticn at your meeting Mondayevening.

"2.

"3. Oregon Electric Railway Company shall bear the total cost of installing; the necessary actuation devices or electronic controls which will meet the specifications found required in this order for the 'tracks owned by it." The order specifically provides, in accordance with Section 763.170 ORS, that it shall become effective only "upon- receipt " by the Commissioner of notice from the City of Tizard' that it con cents to the:apportionment of costs made herein` and agrees to comply,therewith". On June 23, 1971 the terms of this order were discussed in the City,Administrator's office with the following persons being; present: Steve: Telfer, Keith Thompson, ,Richard:Franzke ( O.F. at- torney), John Wiley Gould (S.P.attorney), and engineering or right- of-way people from each of the railroads. The purpose of the meet- ing, as I understand, was to discuss the problems existing between: the City and the railroads as to the sharing of the costs of the work in accordance with Paragraphs' 1, 2 and 3 above quoted of the - Commissioner's order. It should be stated, of course, that there Memorandum - June 24, 1971. are other provisions of the order K no dut.ies an• upon the railroads resnectivoLy and the CIL7, ?ut hhmsc 2a: ao..a' aspects are not, apparently arjecLicnnhie no any of i 2^ r;r icl pating parties. As I understood from the eonfarence- the nositiqn of th(-' railroads with respectothe three , tr aP' , Of quoted, is approximately an follows: (1) Each of the railroads opposes es t x r omm i ons ' -.. mno- sition of costs under Far r, apho 2 and 3 with rospoct to bearin,7 ^ "the total cost. of .i.nstal.lQ7 the niece :r;; actuation devices or electronic controls', upon the i 2lrocd for thpir rc�snoctive trru Vs, and each o;. the railroads iesiVen that Paraqraph 1 be amended tc include the actuation devices or electronic controls in the cont:. unuer Paragraph 1. to be split 1/2 to the City and 1/2 t o the rail- roads as to the respective devices or controls required for each of their tracks. At the conference It develoned that tLe3n was no unan- imity of thinking or cleat under -tandin- of what i <r pr ren c''I by the terms "actuation devices" or "electronic controls' Particu- larly with respect to "predictor devices" which woul enable vehicular traffic to continue to pass over the tracks while a trainwas proaching until. t !rc train had reached : doolmnatcd proximity po`.nt, whereas, in the absence of such s device, slow 01 stopped trains within the siGnaliz:ition .rea would result in the latan t -inhciny down and traffic stalled for indefinite periods. .P. -s firm that the predictor mu hinstalled, and D.E. appears to besimilarly .; minded; 1ul; of ,e, bethn& stronoly that the predictor and 'other control media will basically call benefit the travelinE public on Main Street rather than the railroads ? l that it is inequitable that the railroads pa he l full Cost •__ .:of. (•2) Commissioner's ordercontemplates, I: , i do s . The Cor 121 Lonere`' a cantilevered gate at the most Northerly boundary of tho S.P. right-of-way and at the most Southerly rl boundary of the D.E. rirht- of-way, with interconnected controls that ,Iould activ tc the two gateswith respect to any tron on any track, E, is in accord wish this n lit obut S.P. insists that a mate be installed at both the North n South bound- aries of the S.F. right-of-way which would, of course, contemplate three cantilevered gates instead of two. (3) The costs of signalization includinn actuation and nre- dictor devices, on an estimated basic, are as follows: S.P.'s fiEures: Total cost ,of 2 S.P. North and South'gates `30,000. with predictors If predictors omitted, subtract 6,000. If S.P. inner ,ate omitted, subtract' 2,500.

S.P. proposes to ;>ne l to Cy rt on frounds: a. That evidence adduced at the nearinq do s not support the order with respect to outside pates only. b. That S.P. will insist on puttins in a nate on each side' of its ri3h cif-:•iay (in addition to the third rate at the South line of the O.H. r_,_ht-of aW. C. The City to bear 1/2 of the.

C0DIMEN1'': (It appears that if the'City would agree to pay one-half of the total required by Para,raph> 1, 2 and 3, plus one-half the extra „ate for S.P., including one-half of the actuation electronic and p redictor device, the railroads will be ready to proceed.) r The question of the City's` financial position was"briefly discussed in the abstract. The railroads 4ndicated a probable will- ingness to allow the City to pay its share of the costs over at Least two, and perhaps three, budgetary periods; the railroads each doing their own work by their own crews and to'bill the City on a ;Mork-progression basis with a mutually a7reeable deferred payment plan.
