information. Wayne Lowry informed the Board that the $590
allocated in the budget for Advertising and Publicity was the legal
required amount.

into whether Cityscape, the Tigard city newsletter, was an
available and/or adequate source for information to the
unincorporated area customers of the water department.

items to Advertising and Publicity, the Committee agreed that the
