PRESENTATION: WATER MASTER PLAN - KELLERASSOCIATES
PeterOlsen & Maureen Hennenfentwith KellerAssociatespresented the WaterMasterPlan.
Hennenfent noted the objective of the master plan process is to compare capacities to existing and future
system demands. The orocess mimics the existing system in a hydraulic model to assess pressures and
fireflowand uses anydeficienciesand otherrequired improvements to develop a capital improvement
plan. The 2021 population of 4478 was used for existing demands and a population of 5204 in 2042 was
used for the future 20-year projections with build out predicted to occur sometime around 2045. There are
four wells, three currently in use. Well 1 has been offline for several years due to water quality issues and
higher levels of iron and manganese. There are three reservoirs and one booster station. Historical SCADA
data was used to calculate existing demand and unaccounted for water loss was evaluated to remain at or
below 10%. Projected growth at build out was used to calculate future demand and was then compared to
existingwell and storagecapacity.
Mineraskedwhatassumptionswere madeforthe population projections.

Dirksrespondedthatstaffcheckedwith the Grand Rondeto seewhattheirprojected waterdemand and
metersizewould be forthe proposed entertainmentcomplexand the remainderis Metro predicted housing
growthfor underdevelopedareas.
Olsen noted the maps in the masterplan showthe likely areasof increasedgrowth and the suggested pipe
sizes to meet those demands.
Hennenfent noted that a capacity analysis was done with the largest producing well offline at maximum day
demand and there is a projected deficit of 49 gpm as a worst-case scenario in the 20-year projections. A
hydraulicmodel wasdeveloped and calibratedwithfield testing to evaluateaveragedaydemand (ADD),
maximumdaydemand (MDD) and peakhourdemand (PhD)with the required 40 psi minimumflow. There
were a couple ofareas with low pressure over a 24-hour period, in particular one comer ofWood Village
Green. Thefireflowanalysisshowedseveral areaswherefireflowwas insufficient, mostly in private lines.
Fireflow requirements haveincreasedsincethe publicfire line wasinstalled at WoodVillageGreen.
dark askedwhenthe minimum psi changedfrom 20to 40.
Olsen respondedthatwhilethe health department minimum in the system is 20 psi, for planningcriteria40
psi during peakhourdemand is used.
Rios-Camposnoted that mostofthe deficiencyseems to be in mobile homeparks.
dark noted thatthose areasalso don'thavelooped lines,
Olsen agreed and addedthatthese are also private lines not public lines.
Niiyama commented that the public fire system has roughly 120 hydrants and the map shows a
combinationof private and public hydrants.
Dirksnoted more state legislation is neededfor mobile home parks protection and howdisinvestmenton
the private side leads to public concerns and issues.
Amend asked what a looped water line is.
Olsen respondedthat a loopedwaterline is supplied from two directionswhich providesa bettersupplyfor
higherflows. Mostofthe system hasthe rightamountofflow, it's the fireflowsthatcreate a deficiency
sincethere is such a highdemand.There are some areasin the system that havetoo higha pressure and
pressure reducing valves (PRV's) were installed.
Hennenfentnoted recommended improvementsweredeveloped to addresscapacityand pressure issues.
Proposedcapital projects includeWell 1 rehab,WoodVillageGreen waterpressure issue and fireflow
issueastwoseparate projects and upsizingseveral fire lines.
Olsen added that the capital improvement plan shows proposed projects over the next several years, their
priority, the project's trigger, SDCeligibilityand estimated cost. Privatelyowned portions ofthe systems
were included as theywould mitigatedeficiencieseven thoughthe City does notown or maintainthese
pipelines, Severalofthe projects listed aredevelopmentdriven and SCDeligible.
Miner asked ifstaff is stilt reviewing the master plan with Keller.
City Council MinutesApril 25, 2023 | Page 2
Dirks responded it's close although there are still a few minor changes in process and the master plan will
be broughtbackto Council foradoption atthe next meeting.
Miner noted we are already working on one of the priority one projects and the other is development driven.
He asked Kellerifthe improvements would need to be completed in a particularorder.
Olsen responded that is more critical in the wastewater system. The water system projects can be
completed individually.
Amend asked if it's possibleto makechangesto private watersystems.
Dirks responded it is possible, but complicated. When we installed the public fire line in Wood Village
Green therewasa nexusto loop thewaterline to benefitthe wholesystem with betterwaterpressure and
quality. A lot depends on the funding used and howthe improvement is structured,
Hennenfentpresentedthewatermanagementconservation plan required bythe OregonWaterResource
Department, The plan serves as a guide for water management and conservation programs and consists of
a four-stage water curtailment plan in case of emergency and 5-year benchmarks. The City already does a
lot of the system maintenance items in the plan, but the update is required every five years.
PRESENTATION: WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN- KELLER
PeterOlsen & Maureen Hennenfentwith KellerAssociatespresented the WastewaterMasterPlan.
Hennenfentnoted the objective ofthe masterplan is evaluateexisting and future demandsusing planning
criteria including peak loads. Any deficiencies discovered using the model and other recommended
improvements were then developed into a capital improvement plan. This plan used the same population
projections as the water master plan. The wastewater system consists of three pump stations, 6, 400 feet of
force main, over300 manholes and a flume at Parshallalong the main trunk line, The wastewateris then
conveyed to the Gresham Wastewater Treatment Plant, The peak instantaneous flow (PIF) during a five-
year storm was used to determine the pipeline capacity at a max flow ration of 0.67 or 2/3 full. The model
was calibrated based on flow monitoring and rainfall data and analyzed with the largest pump offline and
projected demand allocation. Existing capacity deficiencies were located along the main trunk line with a
fewother areas in the City also over capacity. The 20 yr capacity evaluation added a few additional areas
that would be over capacity. Smoke testing was conducted in the field to identify areas of inflow and
infiltration (l&l) where rainwater enters the wastewater system. Most of the issues identified were clean outs
at private residences. A private storm water cross connection and a manhole requiring sealing was also
identified,
Rios-Camposaskedwhatthe clean out is.
Olsen responded that it is an access point for cleaning or scoping the sewer lines.
Dirks added that most of the issues with the cleanouts seemed to be missing or cracked lids.
Olsen addedthatcleanoutsare minorcontributors to l&l, butthe storm watercross connection is a high
prioritysince it directlycollects rainwater
City Council Minutes April 25, 20231 Page 3
Miner asked ifthe properties had been notified.
Niiyamarespondedthat notificationwas in process.
Hennenfentpresented the wastewatercapital improvement plan. The improvement plan consistsofseveral
capacity driven priority 1 projects including upsizing the main trunk line, regrading or upsizing other sewer
lines, Sheapump station improvements and manholesealant. Thestorm watercrossconnection is also
listed as a high priority althoughthis is a private improvement.
Miner asked how much of the main trunk line needs to be replaced.
Dirks responded that the entire line needs replacing.
CITYCOUNCILINTERVIEWS
Minerstated the interviewprocesswouldconsistofthe candidatesmaking a statementfollowed byeach
Councilorasking oneofthe interviewquestions. The Council wouldthen rankthe candidates'responses
and the combined highscorewould be used to selectthe nextCouncilor.
CandidateVictoriaMinnieweatherstated herfamily has lived in WoodVillageforthree years although her
family has owned the property for ten years, She has a BS in criminology and criminal justice and is
planning to enroll in law school. She is interested in community service and wants to see the community do
well. She is gregarious and is looking to work with and learn from others. Shecurrently serves on the
student legal service board and is interested in policy. Shewould liketo apply herknowledgeand
experience to positively affect the community, see it thrive and make sure different voices are heard.
Leadership is having the ability to cultivate others while maintaining a bit of separation to provide oversight
and constructive criticism. Being assertive, working with other people and open communication. It's
important when making group decisions to be aware the decision is for the good of the whole community
notjust personal wants. It's also important to have respect for others even when you disagree. The biggest
issue for the City is community involvement, especially with youth. It's important to really cultivate
relationshipswith the youth in the communityand teachingthem howtheycan impacttheircommunity. She
feels she can bring common sense, respect, and a willingness to work with people to the position, She
believes in advocatingfor people, showingup forthem in waystheywouldn'tanticipateand seeingthose
opportunitiesto build and improve the community.
Candidate Dara Tan stated herfamily has lived in Wood Village for 16 years. She is focused on making an
impacton hercommunity. She hasworked in thefinancialindustryfor 20 years and has a backgroundin
strategic planning, setting goals and achieving them, and working towards common goals. She works for
OnPoint Community Credit Union which is a community focused business. She has been a spokesperson
forthem at variouscampaignsand volunteers forvariousevents. There is a differencebetween being a
leaderand a manager. A leaderis someonethat peoplewantto follow, thathasgained respectand leads
by example. Someone who set the team up for success and helps them achieve the common goal. Group
decision making is about respect and taking the time to really listen to each other. Collaborating with each
other and holding each other accountable, One of the issues facing the community is howcan we make an
impact. The population of the City is 50% Hispanic. There's a need for us to be more involved in that
City Council MinutesApril 25, 2023 | Page 4
community, to understandthe needsofthatcommunity, and to really emphasizediversity, equity, and
inclusion. Ifwe understand the needs ofourcommunity, we will understandwhatwecan do to help support
them and the resourcesthat are available, Sheis willingto committhe time to being on Council and
believes this will have a huge impact on the future of her kids. She really wants to see the City thrive,
improveefficiencies,and see the Citycontinueto growand develop.
The final score was 97 for Victoria and 98 for Dara.
Upon motion by Amend, seconded by dark and passing 4-0, DaraTan was appointed to serve on Council
Position#3 through December31, 2024.

WOOD VILLAGE LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT STATEMENT
The Chinookan peoples known as the Clackamas and Cascades are the indigenous people of the land now
inhabited by the City of Wood Village and other areas of the Columbia River. The village of Nechacokee
(now referred to as Nichagwli – “nee chalk lee”) was located near today’s Blue Lake Park. Ancestral life of
these peoples included a seasonal round of resource gathering and stewardship from the Wapato fields
and fishing areas of the Columbia River to the cedar and huckleberry gathering areas of the high cascades.
Introduced disease from early settlers dramatically reduced the number of these people. They signed the
Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855 with the United States Government and were forcibly removed to the
Grand Ronde Indian Reservation.
We thank the descendants of these Tribes for being the original stewards and protectors of these lands
since time immemorial. We also acknowledge the systemic policies of genocide, relocation, and
assimilation that still impact many Indigenous/Native American families today.
We are honored by the collective work of many Native Nations, leaders and families who are demonstrating
resilience, resistance, revitalization, healing and creativity. We are honored to be guests upon these lands.
