Welcome everyone to the CET Council Yoga on August 26, 2026. Let us begin with a prayer in the presence of the Councilor Sakwaya. Please stand up.
I express my deep faith in the American people and the republic for which it stands. I accept this as a nation that has freedom and justice for all who are under God.
Next are the announcements. The first one is the announcement on September 11, 2026, in the city of Tuvala. Are we going to read this announcement or not? Okay. Councilor Brooks will read the announcement. Oh, I'm sorry. It's gone. Councilor Sacco will read the announcement. Thank you.
About 3,000 American soldiers were killed in New York City, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, in the event of a terrorist attack that was not seen in Washington, D.C. We remember the lives of the men and women who were lost, our civilians, the soldiers and emergency personnel, and their quick self-sacrifice. It is also important to remember the families who have lost loved ones due to these terrible attacks. This is the 25th anniversary of that unfortunate day in September. It has inspired national love throughout the country and inspired American citizens to act civilly. The people, organizations and communities will be united in this 25th anniversary and will remember our country until we die on September 11, 2001. Therefore, the CET Council of the city of Tuvala in Otikon announces on September 11, 2021, that it will commemorate September 11 in the city of Tuvala. To all the residents who have lost their lives without any reason or reason, I appeal to all residents to remember them with constant respect. It was announced and approved on August 24, 2026.
Oh God, I am sorry. In September 2026, there will be a national event in Tualatin city. Councilor Brooks will read the event. Thank you, Council President Pratt. September is the month of National Day. This is a political campaign to address the underlying circumstances. When major disasters occur, it encourages people and society to work harder and to help each other. Disasters can often happen quickly without any advance notice. Then the residents may have to leave their homes, schools and businesses. The events that occur due to weather conditions, i.e. strong winds, gusts, gusts of wind, gusts of wind, extreme rain, etc., will make the nature of the incidents that occur in communities dangerous and dangerous. It is the responsibility of each resident of the city of Tuvala to ensure that the prevention is safe for all residents. The National Preparedness Month is an opportunity to think and act on the responsibility of each resident of the city of Tuvala to ensure that the prevention is safe for all residents. As a community, we are committed to ensuring equal and equal participation in the prevention, relief and response of disasters. In the Tuvaladin Community Emergency Response Team, we are doing our best to support and encourage the participation of the people of the region. Therefore, the Tuvaladin CET Council declares that the country's pre-election month will be held in September 2026, and all residents and businesses will be encouraged to prepare their own pre-election methods and to work together to build a more comfortable society. On August 24, 2026, I thank all those who supported and encouraged us. We can do it. Yes, we can get our hands on the copy. Those in the church, come here. Do we have to tell them anything first? They have an urgent report. We have to get rid of it. Okay. Come here. I'll come. That's our office. Do you want to come? Okay. Good. My glasses and hair are matched. Good. What do you think? Okay. Now we have to introduce the new residents. We can start if you don't mind.
Namaskaram, Council President Prath, Council members. I am happy to bring a new police officer to the agency and to give him a position. So, I will start from that point and introduce Thomas. Matthew joined the police department on July 13th. He was a construction worker at the time, but he had worked in Matthew Beaverton Police Department for a year. There, he has also done experiments at the Otigan Police Academy. So, we were able to bring Matthew to the team in July. He is a TIGARD student. He studied at TIGARD High School. After high school, he studied mechanical engineering at Grand Canyon University and OIT. Matthew likes to go to the shooting and gym after work. His family is from Romania. Matthew knows the Romanian language very well. It is a good skill that he brings to the police department. So we are happy to have him with us. He is now in the night shift field test. So thank you for arriving here tonight. We appreciate it. So we are happy to have Matthew as part of our team and another officer to serve on the streets. So we welcome Officer Thomas. You all know Eric French, who is sitting on my right. So, I'll tell you a little history about Captain French. Eric joined the police department on June 2005. He started his police service life in Yuma County, Arizona. He arrived in Yuma County after coming out of the United States Marine Corps, where he served. As I said earlier, Eric started in June 2005. Eric has worked in most and all departments of the police department. School Resource Officer, Detective, K-9 Handler, etc. He has worked as a patrol sergeant and a community service sergeant. He is alive in such activities. He has organized various experiments with field training officers. He is a field training officer and program instructor. He has been one of the leaders of our peer support team for years. He is an expert in Thokeu, Force-on-Force, Scenarios, and many other things. I can say that Eric is one of my co-experts who traveled across the country, joined as a Tuvaladin flier, and gave experiments on the use of the bow. So, Eric is one of the people who do good things about Tuvaladin across the country. That's a very good thing. This year in April, when I went to Captain Rankin Medical Institute, until the end of July, Eric was appointed as the interim captain. We are very happy to see him as the captain and the patrol commander of the police department last week. We are very excited about this new development in Eric's career. Thank you. Officer Thomas, do you have anything to say? Yes. Aiyo, nyan unnum thayyar uduthit illa. Ivida varan kalinnyadhil inikki adhiyaya sandosham undu. It's been about 5 weeks since I started working in the city of Tualatin. I really like the people here. I also like to work in the police department. I would like to spend many years here and serve the people of my country. Okay. Officer French, I spent a few years in Umayal.
I think we have reached a good place now. I agree. Yes. Yes. Then, congratulations. This is what you wanted. Thank you. Do you have any other comments? No? Okay. Tell me. Do you both have anything to say about your achievements as Captains? I have not prepared any speech. I am happy to have served this community for so long.
I think it will continue for a short time. Yes, thank you very much. I appreciate your efforts. Thank you.
Now, I have to introduce you to a new life partner. No, no, no. This is for the County Clerk. Oh, I'm sorry. I made you into a mess.
Council President Pratt, Council members, good evening. I am happy to introduce you to the newest member of the Municipal Court team, Joel Walters. He is a court clerk. He comes from Beaverton. He has been a court clerk for 19 years and has been a permit coordinator for the last six years. Since he is 19 years old, he has a lot of experience in court proceedings. After joining the job on August 3, he is learning how to operate a toilet. He joined our team very quickly. That is a great achievement. He will be responsible for the process of citations and for helping the municipal court judge at the time of inquiry. Joel is a great friend of our team. He has a good reputation for his good behavior and good service to the Tualatin Municipal Council. He likes to spend time with his children when he is not at work. It gives him a lot of happiness. Even though he works here for 40 hours a week, I know that it gives him a lot of happiness. So I encourage you to welcome Joel to our team and to the Tualatin team. I believe he will do great things in the future. Okay, Joel, welcome. Do you have anything to say about how you react to Tualatin? It was great. Yes. Thank you.
Welcome.
Thank you very much.
Now, let us introduce our new Intercity Deputy Manager. Deputy City Manager.
Council President Prath, CET Council members. I am Sherilyn Mambo, the CET Manager here. I am very happy to introduce you to Robin Dowdy. Robin has agreed to be our deputy city manager for the time being when we enter Megan, Georgia. Until she is born, Megan is working at home on a monthly basis. We expect her to be disabled by the end of January. The first day of Robyn's last Monday, she passed away from work. She comes from North Plains. There, she has served as the Director of Library and Administrative Services for a few years. She has written a number of novels, including the most popular Ida Kala CET Administrator and Public Works Director. Yes, that's right. Robyn CET Manager's office matters are taken up and all the work done in that area is carried out. In particular, the methods that we are committed to, the community involvement organizations with the CIOs, relationships, government relationships, and the self-reliance of the government are the pillars. I know that all of you will join me in welcoming Robyn to this role.
Welcome, Robin. We are happy to see you in person. We are happy to have you here. As we have discussed, you have taken on a great responsibility in a timely manner, but we are waiting to work with you. Do you have anything to say? Thank you, Council President Pratt. The councillors have been very helpful. Of course, I can't be compared to Megan, but I will try my best to contribute to the office of the CET manager who used my skills in my time here. As far as I know more about this community, I understand that it is a beautiful city, that there are a lot of things to do, and that it is a city that is managed very well. I would like to thank the people for the warm welcome they gave. It was a very good week. Thank you. Okay. We are happy to have you. Thank you. Okay, let's move on to the public opinion. This department allows you to talk to the council about things that are not in the agenda. I urge you to avoid one thing. Apologize. Or I urge you to cancel a meeting from the consent agenda. Each person who speaks has been given three minutes. More research or detailed review or things that need to be done continuously will be sent to the CET staff and will be reported in the Bavi meeting. Is there anyone in favor of the public opinion? Nicole. Okay, that's over. Now let's move on to the consent agenda. Does the councillor want to remove anything from the consent agenda? Here we have two things. First, the work session on August 10, 2026 and the minutes of the regular meeting are accepted. Second, the new mid-term license of the new Chen's Kitchen LLC, DBLE, Tzu Kitchen is also accepted. Do you have any discussion? Do you get a motion? Do you get approval? I request you to accept the consent agenda that has been read out. I beg you. Those who agree, say yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. The next report is Tuvaletin CERT Cert 2025-2026. I see a few people. Hello, my name is Lingzai Marshall. I am a Management Analyst in the Department of General Affairs. Before we start the CERT, I would like to say a few good things about them. We have now read the report on the month of Emergency Preparedness. I think it is a memorable achievement for all of us. We need to pay attention to the circumstances that may change in the future. Like today, we need to be prepared to think and think about anything. Our CERT program plays a very important role in the development and management of the city, especially at the community level. Without their awareness, we would not be so strong. You all know them, it is love. Thank you.
I am Alan Perini. I am the President of CRD. You are used to seeing Kathi Holland in this room every year. This is our 10th year. Kathi was the President for 10 years. I met them in February. We started this relationship in 2014 from the initial discussions in the city. Two years later, it was cancelled due to the CET sponsorship. In our first batch, there were 17 people. 14 of them are still in the program. CRT is a non-profit organization that provides public security services to the city. It is responsible for the city manager, but TBD and I, TPD, have a good relationship. There are already 212 CRT units. There are already 212 CRT units, of which 143 are non-existent and 69 are non-existent. Radio is a major part of our operation. Therefore, 87 volunteers now have FCC Harm Radio License and 67 people have a license called GMRS. We believe that radio is the essence of CRT. After starting in 2016, we completed 21 batches. Even though the number of batches decreased during COVID-19, we are gradually returning. We expect to have 6 new batches in our next class starting on September 15th. Talking about the exams, last October, we participated in the Durantha Nivarana Exams with teams from Tualatin CERT, Tigard, Beaverton and Hillsborough. This is the first time such an experiment has taken place after the pandemic. We are very grateful to Tuvalat for the 14,000 dollars spent annually on the financial needs of the CRT. In fact, we got the cheque today. We get thousands of dollars as a grant from the state, federal government and women. FEMA is now in some trouble. There is no reason to believe that our federal assistance will be less this year. The Office of Emergency Management says the budget is safe. But we know that the current situation of FEMA is not that safe. Our Forest Emergency Preparedness is coming up. This was very useful. This will take place from 11am to 2pm on September 12th in the library. We hope you will all be there. You may have seen the parking control in the major public facilities that started with Blender Dash and Viva Tuvalat. We have also added Pumpkin Regatta and this year's Big Truck Day. It is expected that it will continue. These activities are not only carried out in the parking system. It is also possible for volunteers to work together and get to know each other better. After the snowfall in February 2021, when the city asked us to raise funds for infrastructure, this was very helpful. To explain our program and to add people, we send teams to CIO events every year. You must have seen us in such events. In such events. Yes, I don't know what that is. Do you know? In 2025, we got a grant to build a mobile communications unit.
Please turn that off.
It's working in a safe environment. I'm sorry. Here it starts. There's one more thing after that. Yes, this is a safe trailer that can be used to monitor and network through H.A.R.M. and G.M.R.S. radio signals. In addition, it can handle low-power messages from low-priced radios under the FCC classification called FRS Family Radio Service. These small radios may be familiar to you, but you may not have realized that our CERT program can be used by teams using FRS radios to operate as community safety monitors. The program that was only tested in Lake Oswego is now in the early stages of construction. We call it MCU. This is almost complete. It is now being used in normal operations. As you can imagine, this was built by a private operator. We did this in a very small number of cities with budget for professional facilities. This is a wonderful application. I explained the basic things. Let's see. The next slide is Devai. If you are interested in our 7-night sessions, which are 3 hours long, it will start on September 15th here in this room. I started CERT at the place called Kavaya. You can imagine that there was a lot of attention to the fires there. One slide, then another. The CERT program is focused on natural disasters that can happen in any community. So, naturally, we at Tuvalat pay more attention to the Earth. However, it is necessary to have the skills and expertise acquired from experiments for the actual CERT activities, but I say that it will be beyond the ordinary level of the experiment. Therefore, Tuvaletin CER-IT is ready to deal with environmental issues related to pollution, smoke, fire, excessive heat, polluted public health facilities, and water pollution. As you know, the features of this product are a wide variety. It can stop medical, internet, and mobile services, prevent water pollution on roads, and reduce waste. CER-IT is ready to respond to any kind of environmental issues. When we look at Bhaavi, we all know that it will take a lot of time for the entire volunteer force to respond to a large-scale incident. We all know that there will be difficulties in planning and mobilization. It is very unlikely that it will happen. But for that reason, we have already sent volunteers to many places throughout the city. We know that there will be problems in the small fields. For this reason, we have created an ancient response system that is capable of operating within 2 or 3 hours in a small underground facility. They can be deployed very quickly. We expect this to be able to operate by the end of this year or in 2027. This leads me to one of our programs. Shall I show you the next slide? Next. One more. This is one of our main programs from 2026 to 2027. We call this program, Toilet-in-Neighborhood-Ready. This is the answer to the question of what can be done to help the poor. I have asked Mary Silvia, who runs this program, to give a brief description of this program. Okay.
How many people are in the toilet? Does anyone know? Good answer. How many first responders are on duty at any time? Most of them are 20 people. This is enough in normal times, but if there are natural disasters like Cascadia earthquake, first responders will be able to respond quickly. Therefore, our residents will have to do things on their own until the agencies from outside reach the victim. According to the cardinal of the victim, this will last up to two weeks. Therefore, Tuvalet in Neighbourhood Ready is trying to encourage people to make their own decisions and to help the victims. That is our goal. We are testing how to prepare and protect businesses and people for this. I joined this organization about a year ago. I participated in about a dozen activities. When I spoke to the residents, I was surprised that many people did not even know how to turn off the gas meter. That's why we hold seminars for business people and residents. We teach them how to prepare water supplies, family plans, and essential parts. We teach them how to handle things after bad times. For example, how to turn off utilities and how to do it. Finally, how to get acquainted with the Ayyalvasis, how to help you to survive physically and mentally after a bad relationship with them. This is our message to the residents throughout this process. Through relaxation and preparation, you can improve your ability to survive the bad. We give them the information and details of how to do it themselves.
Next slide. The last slide is a summary of the things we did in 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2027. We are starting a general education promotion process. You may not have noticed the shirts we are wearing. Behind that, there is a question asking if you are ready for the next phase. That is why we are here. We are here to ask the community if they are ready to help. Thank you very much. Do you have any questions? I would like to thank both of you. I know that you are very active.
They see you and talk to you about the activities you are doing. I am happy to see that the community members who know each other are helping to raise awareness about the opportunities that people have to come forward and help to prepare the Paribhramikad together. Thank you. Thank you, Council President Prath.
Not only for all the things that you are going to do and are going to do, but also for the community to win, whether it is a small local event or a big event, I thank you for the efforts you are making to empower the residents. So, I thank you for that. I think that part is very important. It will help us to achieve our goals and to achieve more. So, thank you. You talked about the underground supplies in the city. Can we add a little more to that?
What is there in it? How many are there in the city? There is one for each CIO. Okay.
It includes weapons of the Prime Minister, as well as weapons of the Defence Force. Okay. She is a member of the Defence Force, but she is also there. According to our order, we are instructing her to meet with the CIO of the Defence Force. If that is a serious crime, then we will do it.
Okay, I can understand that. Then, if money is not an issue, what do you add to the CIO, CIO program or CERT search program? I.O. You can only choose one thing. We always need more radio applications.
In fact, by this year or 2027, we have requested a grant for LECO through the county. Through that, we will be able to run this Ayalpaka network. Oswego and Aswego have done this very well. We are only at the beginning of our program. We would like to use these small $20 handheld radios to provide the Ayalpakas with a variety of opportunities. This way, Ayalpakas will be able to carry out their work, and those messages will be transmitted from Ayalpakas to Ayalpakas and then to the county. That is what we are looking for now, but it will be postponed. Thank you both.
I know that you are always in the community.
Thank you for taking this program forward. This is very important for our safety.
Now we have a public hearing, so I have to read a sentence. This is for Ordinance No. 1457-26. According to the Gramsferry Road, the ordinance number 1499-25, which includes 54.79 acres of land, which is located in the northern Tornwin Loop of Basalt Creek Parkway, is in accordance with the law of the CET Council. Ordinance 1499-25 states that ORS 199.51 will be increased to the limits of clean water services. If accepted, according to the law, the ordinance will be up to 1457-26 to implement this under the terms of Sanitary, Rainwater, Rainwater Management, and Clean Water Services. The plans that are in the form of a plan text are important for the development of the state. Tuvaladin Development Code Section 33, Pujam 7, Pujam Earth Plans and Tuvaladin Comprehensive Plan are important points and rules. The hearing will be conducted in the following manner. First, the public hearing will begin with the announcement of the CET staff. Then, the council will hear from the people who wish to speak in accordance with the instructions, from the people who wish to speak against the instructions, and then from the people who wish to speak against the instructions. After the general hearing is over, the councillors will be asked questions to the city residents and witnesses. After the council's questions, the council will end this general discussion and move on to the next steps. After the next steps are completed, the council will decide whether to accept Ordinance No. 1457-26. In this regard, I have to ask if anyone in the council members is interested in staying out of this debate. Since no one is present, the CET Council will now begin the public hearing of the city residents. Good. Good evening. My name is Madalyn Nelson. I am the planner of the city of Tuvala. Along with the planning manager of Tuvala, Teresa Mondalvo is also with us. Today, in front of the council, we are announcing a special ordinance for the Tonwin Commerce Center Kooticherkal. This is known as case file ANN 24 Poojam 1. As a reminder, this area map shows the Kooti Cherkal that took place on April 2025. As a reminder, this Kooti Cherkal brought about 55 acres of land to Tualatin Nagar in Basalt Creek, Planing Meghalaya. After that approval, it was noted that the ordinance had misinterpreted that the property is under the Clean Water Services Act. The property was not in the EWS limit during the Kooticherkal period, so there is a requirement for the ORS to maintain it. Therefore, as per the Ordinance mentioned below, as per ORS 1995 October 2, this property and clean water services will be transferred to the limit of Sanitary Malina Jala, Kodungatta, Uparithala Jala Management. This will not affect the previous approval of the Ordinance Council, or the approval of the members, zoning, or plan design. This is only one letter of the actual Ordinance. Therefore, I request the City Housing Council to approve this Ordinance 1457-26. This will be approved by the actual Ordinance 1499-25. Okay. Is there anyone in the public who wants to accept this order and testify against it? No one. Okay. Is there anyone in the public who wants to testify against this order? There is no one. Okay. Finally, I am asking if there are any other people in the public who would like to testify on this matter. I think it would be the same thing. Okay. Do council members have any questions for the residents or those who have given testimony? Okay. If there are no more questions, the general debate ends here. Now, let's discuss with the council. Is there any discussion on this matter? I'm presenting a proposal. Okay. I'm presenting a proposal for this. We need to complete the second sentence of the first one. I agree. Um, resolution, number, or... To conduct the first sentence. Okay. You said you agree. Okay. What I meant to say here is what I need to agree on. I'm sorry. I read only the certificate and suggest the second reading. The first reading. I read only the certificate of Ordinance No. 5993-26 and suggest the first reading. 1457-26. I beg your pardon. 1457-26. I... I beg your pardon. Okay, I got an order and a PIN. All those who agree or not, we have to hold a roll call, right? Okay, Councillor Brooks. Agree. Councillor Gonzalez.

Okay, what I said was wrong. I resign. My turn. Okay, I resign. I resign. I resign. I resign. I resign. I resign. I resign.
I agree.

I request you to accept Ordinance No. 1457-26. I also request you to accept Ordinance No. 1457-26. I also request you to accept Ordinance No. 1457-26. Okay, thank you. Okay, now let's move on to general matters. There is one thing, that is, it is the resolution that the CET Manager has the right to enter into an internal government contract with the appropriate management and clean water services. Okay, let's continue. That's me. I'm back. One thing that I'm happy to share with you is that we've been working on this for a while now. And to make you feel better, my name is Rachel Six, Public Works Director. Tonight, I'm here to share with you the details of the new IGA we've created with Clean Water Services. I hope you'll like it tonight. And Sherry. Through this presentation, I will explain about the background of our activities as a clean water service and about the support process we received when this new IGA, IGA Reg was created. I will explain about IGA in a way that gives you a clear idea. I will explain the main steps of our urban activities implemented in IGA and the main instructions that I tried to implement in the IGA Reg. Finally, if you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have any questions, you can ask me. They and other members of the CWS organization were also involved in these activities. If you have any questions to ask the CWS, we can ask them at the time of the question. Okay, let's get started. First, I will explain to you briefly about the relationship between the CWS and the organization. As you can see in the slide, the former USA Unified Sewerage Agency, which is a clean water service, made our first IGE in 1990, and that's what I could understand from our insights. Even though CWS was in the state from 1970, I believe that their service to our cloud was in 1990. According to your website, that's right. Yes, that's right. After our initial decision in 1990, a major change was made in Operating IJ in 2005 and a new decision was made. This is the decision we have been following. However, you can see in the slide that some changes have been made in this IJ for years. One of the major differences in 2008 was the use of various local and regional standards and responsibilities. That was a big change. It happened when the management of CWS Watershed became the base. Then, in 2017, an amendment was made, which allowed cities to pay franchise fees or write-off fees in CWS. This is not something that happens in the state, but it is a big amendment, so we have to pay special attention to it. So now, after 21 years, IGA has become one of a kind. It does not include the various programs or administrative needs or procedures that we have been working together on, such as EPA and DQ. Therefore, this was happening for a while at the end of 2024. I approached the city of CWS Service Area to write a report on IGA, including all the cities. We have seven departments that count as co-directors. One of them is us. The aim was to develop an IGA that would include all the things I mentioned in a consistent language to all the co-directors and all the co-directors. From there, mainly because of the period of residence in my part, we have passed through IGI. It is now in front of you as a recognition. We can go to some of our guidance. So, when we take it to the beginning, as a beginning of our IGI program, I would like to accept a similar approach that we used in all the water treatment plants in the city of Portland. It was a great achievement that we completed, and I think that the process worked well for that. So, I wanted to think about what it was like to lead our activities with CWS in this achievement. We discussed and discussed these facts with CWS staff to ensure that the contribution that we want to make to each and every one of us in this activity and the positive results are the same. So, I think that many of the facts that have been discussed are clear. justice, integrity, and responsibility, but I felt it was a way to ensure that they were trained and discussed as a group, as well as the different fields we expected. The fact that the city has become one with you from the start, and that it is able to seek medical assistance. This is one of the things that the city has really benefited from over the years through our activities at CWS Uma. Malina Jala, Malha Vella Management is becoming more and more intensive and administrative. It is becoming more and more intensive and administrative as time goes by. As a common thing in Tuvalat, we are the ones who are responsible for many things, that is, we do not have a lot of administrative knowledge in special matters. There are people who know well about what they do in my staff, but our participation in CWS and their staff's access to administrative facilities help us ensure that there are plenty of ways to grow our agriculture. This helps us to find the inputs about the problems in our system and to move forward with the regular requirements that are constantly changing, because there are so many such requirements. In our daily activities, CWS has provided this assistance to the city. Even if there are changes in people or processes, we would like to stop this division and the entry of the city into CWS services. That is what we would like to emphasize in IGA. When we work together, it works very well. Even if we have good employees, it works well. But if not, what will happen? So we wanted to ensure the safety of Bavi and take some precautions for us. Okay, let's talk a little about this process. We are a very common process in the development of IGA. Certainly, CWS has also done a lot of work on this. They have created a template to test and respond to the city. As I said, they were passing through this process with other cities in Sevanamegala. So when we were testing the draft, other cities were also doing it. The new drafts of this Regio have been made available to many people with the attention and attention of the various authorities for more than a year and with the participation of many people who are more difficult than me. It was a long time since this update was made to other cities at the same time. So we got a lot of benefit from it. Various workgroups have been interviewed here. I think this makes it clear how much our activities are related to CWS. Public Works, Operations, Community Development, Building, Planning, Engineering, Finance, Legal etc. have paid special attention to their activities related to CWS and interviewed IGI. This was a great opportunity because I did not know about the various activities that we conduct with CWS. So, it was a new experience for me. But it was a good opportunity to gain a clear understanding of our relationship with CWS and its activities. We examined the parts of each work group that affected their activities in the IGA, and accelerated the instructions and questions. In addition, we conducted interviews with CWs to discuss our questions and to get feedback. In some aspects, we realized that more information outside the IGA was also needed. That is, we felt that the types of activities and work groups needed more information. It was an unexpected result. On the one hand, it may be for the good, so we are reflecting on some of the things we have seen in our activities on IGE. It was a natural process. As our opinions were revealed, the amount of time spent became more clear. The last thing I would like to point out in this slide is that during the process that went on for a year, there was a big local discussion about the administrative fees to be paid to Sister W instead of paying the billing fees to the cities within Tuvala. Therefore, it was Donam Sherlain who was in charge of that local discussion. This happened along with the use of IGR. Therefore, things were moving forward together, but it reached the last stage of IGR. Okay. So, the important aspects of IGA. I am sure that everyone has read the entire IGA. So, this will be just a reminder for you. But I would like to touch on some of the important aspects that need to be mentioned in order for you to pay attention to your knowledge. Only important things. One of the key issues of the IGA is that the city of Urupa and the clean water services and the CWS are taking care of the needs of AP and DEQ. It is the need of Sister W.S. that allows our Malinajala to operate rainwater systems. Therefore, the responsibilities and laws that each party has to carry out so that these permits can be maintained are also made clear. Therefore, it is ensured that Malinajala systems and manholes are being repaired at proper intervals. These are things that we are very responsible for. That is why it has been done to identify and identify the two parts of the amount in a horizontal manner. I am counting this as one of the most important factors in the IGE. As I said from 2005, there have been numerous changes in how this system is handled at the watershed level. The management of watershed management and rainwater management is more focused. All these activities have become more accessible and accessible. In 2005, the rainwater related activities were very simple. The new IGA is reflecting all these changes. I may be saying a little simply, but there have been a lot of activities in that field. So it is reflected in the new IGA language. Secondly, it is the financial department of IGA. As you know, Malanajala, which is located in Tuvala, provides utility income to the city and sister W and S for rainwater services. The EIGA and IGA ensure the ability to provide utilities for both institutions and their service needs, as well as the ability to withdraw system development charges . Our Malinijala SDC will return a large part of it to CWs, and it will continue to use it for SDC funds within Tuvalet itself for a large sum of funds. In addition, the finance department will determine the laws and responsibilities for billing services. We provide billing services for CWS, and when their utility bills are billed, divided and returned, the IGA pays an administrative fee to the city. This is an overhead that the city has been paying for so long. According to the new IGA, we will be able to pay the fees for CWS. So this is a discussion going on locally. Don did a great job in this. The IJL has not specified how much the administrative fee is. The IJL has only specified the right to pay the fee. Therefore, we will come to a special agreement to make sure what that administrative fee is. I think Don is the one who makes that operation happen. That's the next part of this. As I mentioned about the programs, there are many ways in which we can help CWS in various activities. These programs have been implemented in IGA. Moreover, there are also available options and answers. This does not go into detail about any program, but it makes it clear as to who is doing what and how to handle important things in a good IGA. For example, the FATS, Oils, Grease Program, which is managed by CWS for the city, is called the Industrial Stormwater Program, Capital Improvement Prioritization Committee, which is managed by the city and CWS according to the activities of agricultural users. This establishes the big pillars of the programs. The system is working in the most effective way to clearly identify the rights and responsibilities of various rivers, rainwater assets, and water resources in the system. The previous IGA was working in a different way in this matter. This IGA makes it more clear who is doing what, who is doing what, who is doing what, and who is doing what. That is, all sewer pump stations in Sister W, S, CWS cities, All the false mains and all the 24-inch-high pipes are being repaired. All of this has been made clear in the report. There have been no changes in the properties or changes in the responsibilities of the major contractors. Therefore, there is no information about IGA or IGA. This is more clear. Therefore, if there are any doubts in the report, the IGA will investigate and resolve the problem. Finally, it is not right not to say that either. Like any good IGE, there are legal systems in it that help us to control our relationship with Sister W Esumai. That is Kevin's point. There are clear ways to resolve disputes, and if necessary, there are systems that improve changes and differences in IGE. If this continues for a long time, it is more likely. The term of the term has been set for five years. In addition, a process for the next five years of innovation is described in it. If required, there is the option of a voice-over, but that is not mandatory. So, these are the things that are included in the IGE in a very detailed way without confusing you. When preparing the IGE, when we thought about the participation of Sister W. Esumai in the Bavi activity, we found out some important things that should be included in our needs in TrueWallet. In the beginning, we felt that there was a lack of clarity in some parts of Sister W.S. What does this mean? It means that we will help. What does that mean? But as time went on, when we and other cities examined this region, it became more complex and clear, and we got the information we wanted from the beginning. I think that the doubts that were there at first have been resolved. It is clear that this system is not necessary. Because it will only be a system, it is enough if we take it only when it is necessary. Therefore, we would like to have a small relationship in the way in which we are trapped. I believe that our desire to get the institutional assistance of SystemWS has been assured in this system. Then, if we examine this entire section in detail, you can see that it has been clearly stated in many places that CWS can be used for aid or support to the city. It is for the sake of ensuring that the development of that partnership continues that we have included those letters consciously, because it is one of the most important to us. We want to continue our participation in a special measure called Code Enforcement. In other words, when someone acts against our or CW's laws, this becomes present. It can be any kind of law-abiding Malini Nikshebam or anything else. In particular, if there is a need for further investigation or resolution of major and complex issues, in such cases, the CW's policy has been applied in the past, so we wanted to take that part into account. Another thing is that we have construction laws in the state. Most of our codes have their own code and CWs have their own code. Although most of them are the same, sometimes the code of the city is a little different and usually comes with a specific reason. Therefore, in any project within the CET framework, it is not different whether it is CWS or CIDI, but we need to make it clear in the IGA that it will be the most different code barrier. We decided to include this in the EIGA as a feedback base from the experiences gained from some projects that have taken place over the past few years. I spoke about the administrative fees earlier, right? That is a major factor. So, to make that process right, CWS and other cities cooperated and carried out a good operation. Finally, CWS wants to increase the participation of the city, the CET leadership, and the CET council to a greater extent and reach more people. Our joint activities are very powerful, but often it does not go out. Even though CWS is operating in the city, most people do not know how much they play a role in our Malinajala rainwater protection services and how much of their utility bill is being used for CWS operations. That is why the CWS representatives have come forward to our CET Council once a year to conduct presentations on their activities, methods, financial matters, and free processes, specifically at the IGA. Therefore, I think it will help a lot to increase the number of things they do in Tualatin Nagar. Finally, I had mentioned the opportunity to approve the IGA, IGA, and the International Declaration of Independence. If we want to do that, or if we need the opinion of the council, it is possible. So, okay, I don't think I'm going to go into too much detail, but I think you clearly understand what's in it. Therefore, we are looking for the permission of our CET manager to join IGE as the next step. IGE is only 5 years old, and this is new. A annual evaluation process has been implemented here. We believe that we can succeed in carrying out continuous activities with CWS and CWS. I have tried to make it clear that CWS and I have a very strong relationship. We are paying a high price for solving problems in the cloud and in the local area. The IGA understands these things very well. We can continue to work together in good times. At the same time, even if things are not so good in the future, this will be a great guide. Therefore, I think this is one of the main purposes of running an IGA with such guidance. We have done it here. That's why, by saying this much, you can ask any questions you have. I don't have an IGA card with me right now, so if it's something very special, I'll have to give it back to you. But since I've read it many times, I'm pretty sure what's in it. So, Sherry, do you have any questions? Do you have any questions? Counselor Brooks. First of all, I would like to thank all the departments of the CET staff for their hard work. I would also like to thank Clean Water Services for their help. I am very fortunate to be a part of this amazing team. I have a few questions that I would like to know. These questions are not about Karar. When you spoke about the enforcement, I knew that there was a possibility to investigate whether any donations had been made. This is a general issue, so I don't know. I don't think the city has such a record database. In other words, there is certainly a public information that you can access. I'm not sure if the CWS has such a reporting database or not. But they follow all the public laws that we follow in the city. But I don't think there is any other way to find citations or documents online. I know that there are officials who are aware of a news about VE. Once in a month, all the enforcement acts imposed on them are included. So it is a way to know what are the enforcement acts in the DEQ. But here in Tualatin Nagar, we don't have anything that is popular or popular. Okay, we don't have to worry about any kind of problems, right? I don't think so. That is, we are doing things very well. If it is a matter of the city's attention, we will be different from ordinary complaints such as Ayyalvasi is making a mess. Or if it is a problem related to the food path. But when our CET staff comes out, we take action if we notice that something is missing or something is missing. So we take the lead in such things. If there is a major problem related to those who use industrial stormwater, we call CWS for help in carrying out the major invasion. They have codes that they can use, because CWS controls the use of industrial stormwater. Therefore, we accept enforcement measures in such cases. Small things like cleaning the paint bucket after painting the house and pouring that paint water into the drainage. Such small enforcement measures are mainly handled by the city. If this is an exaggerated behavior, it can cause damage. However, we do not usually accept such a behavior at first. Okay. Then, I would like to continue to discuss water and artificial fertilizers. I would like to thank the people in the artificial fertilizers department for their efforts. And, I hope that we can continue to support more people in those roles. Then I have another question. No, I think there are two questions. That is, I have a little desire. Did you understand? This is a wonderful thing. The other day when I was talking to someone, they told me that some parts of the bridge can be boarded on the side due to the wind. I am aware of how we are handling the long-term facilities, water supply, weather, and droughts. I am aware of how we are handling the long-term facilities, water supply, weather, and droughts. I am aware of how we are handling the long-term facilities, water supply, weather, and droughts. I am aware of how we are handling the long-term facilities, water supply, weather, and droughts. I am aware of how we are handling the long-term facilities, water supply, weather, and droughts.
I am aware of how we are handling the long-term facilities, water supply, weather, and droughts. I am aware of how we are handling the long-term facilities, water supply, weather, and droughts. I am aware of how we are handling the long-term facilities, water supply, weather, and droughts. I don't want to say anything unnecessary, but I know that there is a lot of support for the development of water in Hague Lake. A large part of the water in Tuvala has been reserved for municipal needs. The water supply system will help to reduce the demand for water. I don't know how this will affect the water supply in the Tualatin river. But looking at the big picture, I think it will be helpful. CWS is doing a lot of work. I know that Joe can talk about this better than me. They are taking a big part in handling all TMDLs. We have heard about the water level of the river. I am sure that the water level of the river is being carefully inspected according to the DEQ permits. Therefore, it is very important when there is a long rainy season, a long rainy season, and a long rainy season. There may be more incidents in the Andariksha river. On the other hand, I think that those who handle the water level of the Tuvaladin river will be carefully inspected. I am not doing that, but I believe that CWS is playing an important role in this. Yes, I would like to know what that is. Finally, we are standing below other users who use water from the same level.
When we think about PFAS measures, I have some concerns. How can we protect ourselves as a city? How can clean water services help us to solve the problems arising from the agriculture in the Mughal region?
That is a good question. We have not conducted a local PFAS inspection in the Tualatin river. I have only done it for our Kudivellas brothers. I don't know if our Kudivellas brothers have conducted any activities to inspect PFAS in the Tualatin river other than the Tualatin river. Joe, you may have some information about it. Is this on? Yes. Now this is on.
Counselor, I am not a lawyer, but we can continue to take steps. PFAS is one of the things we are very careful about, isn't it? So far, there are not many federal agencies, but they can come immediately. If you are thinking about the river and the agricultural clusters in the Hillsborough area, you can go to the Hillsborough plant here in Oduville and check it out. So, let's take this to our office. We will be able to get more detailed information on both your questions. Okay.
Yes, I heard some information about the changes in the measures from some of the people I know. So, I was curious about that. I would like to know what you saw. Yes. We are fortunate that we are in a different position regarding PFAS than other parts of the country. Yes.
Yes. We have to continue in that position. We have to continue there. Yes.
In order to reduce PFAS, INRIL has done a lot of work in their Hillsboro activities. To tell you the truth, it's a good business. I don't have any other items with me.
I like the details. So I thank you for the details. We can continue. Thank you. Okay. Councillor Hillier, thank you. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who have used the methods and relationships contained in this book and who have worked hard to unite everyone. I am happy that it has been implemented here. Thank you for sharing that history with us through the lessons we have learned. Also, thank you for being such a great partner here. Thank you very much for your hard work. Anything else? There is nothing next to me. Oh, I remember what I read. I want to make sure that the talks about administrative fees are not only in Tamil, but also in Tuvalet and other cities. That's right, isn't it? That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right.
I praise Don Hudson and Sherrilyn for their efforts in working with other cities. And I feel that we are in a good position now when we look at how they are moving forward with their opposition to other cities. As Rachel said, this is something that has been waiting for a long time. So,
Good. Okay. I think there have been a lot of good changes. That's a big thing. Certainly. Looking at the staff's performance, I am very happy with this rega. This is so much better than the old one. I tried to check if there are any new things in the old IGA and IGA. Nothing is written like the old one. This is more clear. If a person who comes to a place like me reads this, CWS and I, CWS, can fully understand how we are behaving. So that clarity is definitely an advantage. This will be very useful for those who are new to new roles or those who are familiar with new things. I think that the necessary details and the current situation in this matter have been well included in this. So I am satisfied with the way it is prepared. Okay. Okay. There is a proposal in front of us. I propose a proposal for the approval of Clean Water Services and Clean Water Services to be approved by Airpadan CET Manager in 1993-26. Okay. This proposal has been approved and approved. So let's go to the voting. I'm going back to the voting. Councillor Gonzales. Approved. Yes. Thank you very much. Thank you. Okay, we haven't removed any items from the consent agenda. So, we can move on to the next council communication. Do you have anything to say? Okay, on September 12th, from 11am to 2am in the library, we would like to remind everyone that the CERT or Emergency Preparedness Fair will take place. So, I would like to request to disperse the yoga. Okay, those who agree, please say Deva. Agree. Agree. Okay, thank you. The yoga is disperse.
