Kenneth Cossler, 4645 SW Statter Dr., Aloha, stated that he is a property owner in Oregon Water Wonderland. He stated that he represents the board of directors for the property owners association. He also stated that the board of directors took no stand on the formation of the district; however, on April 25 a letter was sent out to all owners within the association.

Of those 307, 245 made it known that they did not wish to have a road district formed, 43 said yes to the formation and 19 had no preference but made comments. He stated that all the letters are available to the board if they wish to see them. Tom Gibbons, 9337 SW Hill, Tigard, stated that he has been a property owner for six years and during that time the property owners association began with a zero budget and now has budgeted enough money to put a lot of gravel and cinders on the roads.

They were also able to regrade and oil Snowgoose road to cut down the dust problem. He stated that improvements are being made as money becomes available. They will become more available if the present assessment of $45 per year per lot is continued. He agrees that some of the roads are in bad shape, but these are little -used roads. He felt that the funds that are available should be used for the main arterials.

He stated that he has seen constant improvement over those years. George Forsythe, 15526 Stellar Dr., stated that he is a property owner and that when he purchased the property, there were no roads. It was purchased with the understanding that the developer would put them in. He was told that only gravel and cinder roads would be put in. Warren Collins, 17331 Brant Dr., stated that he fails to see where a special road district would give them any advantages that they don't have under their property owners association. He stated that under a special road district the registered voters would be the only ones with a say in regard to its administration. He feels that this is unfair to the many absentee property owners. Chair Prante asked for any other comments in oppostion to the road district. Hearing none, she asked for a show of hands of all those in oppostion to the formation of a road district. Diana Nichols made one last comment. She wants to refute a few things that were said and have it on the record. She stated that the letter which was sent out by the board of directors was not a truthful letter. She stated that the persons signing the petitions were not all registered voters. She also stated that the intention of forming a road district was not to pave the roads. Dick Maudlin asked the board and those present if there was a petition circulated for the purpose of paving the roads. After determining that there was not, he asked Mr. Collins to address that issue. The letter that the board of directors sent out to its members stated that such a petition was circulated.
