Report from Dick Wanderscheid on Watershed Partnership general findings and recommendations concerning flood restoration projects. Conservation Manager Dick Wanderschied and Watershed Partnership member Scott Kurtz reported to council on two meetings that had been held to discuss implementation of the Ashland Watershed Partnership General Findings & Recommendations concerning flood City Council Meeting 5-2-97 2 restoration projects in Ashland. Wanderschied explained that at the meeting, various recommendations from the Watershed Partnership were presented and a group discussion process began on the feasibility of implementing these items and policy directive for implementation. He explained that one draft policy was developed to address all of these items and that if the draft policy was adopted by council, most of the policy issues would be addressed. Kurtz commented on the encouragement that the Partnership has with the progress and communication links with the city. The meetings have been very positive and encouraging. Felt that the policy statement was an example of staff and public working toward the same goal. Commented on the commendable efforts that the Public Works Interim Director Jim Olson has used with the Partnership, for consulting in some the problem areas which have resulted in solutions and strategies in dealing with these problems. Kurtz explained that the Partnership will continue to work towards strengthening trust and communication with city staff including the Parks & Recreation Department. Informed council that Assistant City . Administrator Greg Scoles, has kept the Partnership apprised of the work that OTAK is doing. There is a majority of the group that feel they are being listened to and that some of their concerns have been addressed. Also, gave their thanks to Dick Wanderschied for his assistance. Councilor Wheeldon questioned the policy statement, in relationship to the area of the park that the Parks & Recreation Department is responsible for and how this would interface. Would like to question how public input would be coordinated with the Parks & Recreation Department. Wanderschied explained that the issue of partnership and interfacing with the Parks & Recreation Department is addressed in the one of the findings. Clarified for council that at the second meeting of city staff and the Watershed Partnership, Parks Director Ken Mickelson was in attendance. Stated that the Partnership would like a relationship from the Parks Department, but need some kind of policy direction from Parks Department, either at the staff level or the Commission level to adopt a similar policy. Wanderschied commented that many of the things that are in the proposed policy are currently being done, but is not written down anywhere. Believes that it is important, should the council adopt the policy, that the policy is made available to everyone in the field. Councilor Hagen questioned if there was any discussion amongst staff and the Partnership on Finding #13, where it was indicated there was money allocated for a storm water master plan. Felt that the storm water master plan would be a major decision point in dealing with storm water and flood waters. Wanderschied explained that there had been a request at the a budget committee meeting for a study to look at a particular creek, where $55,000 was allocated for a "storm water management plan". This had been reported at the second meeting of staff and the Watershed City Council Meeting 5-2-97 3 �J Partnership. At,the meeting it was felt that the $55,000 could not do the whole study and that it could possibly be done by an RFP and certain creeks would be targeted. Wanderscheid and Kurtz explained for council under policy statement "A", what "mode of failure" means. An example of "mode of failure", is an Arizona Crossing. If the culvert fails, it goes over the road and doesn't take out the bank. It is designed that when you have excessive flows, the water that gets out of the drainage system, and has a minimal amount of damage. Councilors Hauck/Hagen m/s to adopt policy statement. Roll Call vote: Laws, Hauck, Hagen, Wheeldon and DeBoer, YES. Motion passed. NEW & MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS 1. Letter from County Commissioner Ric Holt requesting appointment of Council member to Strategic Planning Committee to investigate consolidation proposals. City Administrator Brian Almquist strongly recommends that council not formally approve this request at this time, as it may cause problems in the recruitment process currently underway for Ashland Police Chief. Councilor DeBoer commented that the city should be involved in the process. Councilor Laws commented that he had concerns about not participating in the process and that it may not improve our relationship with the other communities. Laws would like to see some kind of involvement in order to look at the total picture. Council discussion on the possibility of jeopardizing the current search for Ashland Police Chief and questioned the timeline on the request from County Commissioner. DeBoer did not believe there was a set timeline, and this was more of an intent by the County Commissioners in getting representatives of the communities participating in the process. Councilor Wheeldon commented that it is understood there is a need for regional dialog, but that there may be more specific needs in Ashland. Noted that Ashland has always been supportive of county levy efforts and felt there can be cooperation, but that it was important to have a strong law enforcement identity in Ashland. Laws suggested that the council indicate their willingness to participate, but would not participate in any study of consolidation of the law enforcement functions. Hagen commented on his concern of the track record regarding support for funding measures by the rest of the county as opposed to the support by Ashland residents. Hagen felt he could support this, if the law enforcement portion was pulled out. Mayor Golden explained that cities normally subsidize what goes on in Jackson County. It costs more to provide services to the individuals in the outlying areas compared to those that live within city limits. Commented that even though Ashland is a generous and supportive City Council Meeting 5-2-97 4 J community, it has per capita, some of the poorest precincts in Jackson County. Feels that Ashland already consolidates, backs each other up and looks for more ways to be more efficient. Laws commented that because of the major focus being put into this proposal, there may be suspicion of motives made and does not believe that Ashland should be put in this position. DeBoer felt this was not a decision making group, but only that the county has asked that Ashland participate in the discussion. Stated that all discussions should be a part of the committee. DeBoer clarified for Hagen that this letter had not come before the School Board at this time, and that he always encourages discussion. Fire Chief Woodley explained for council, that the two 911 dispatch system centers are connected by a "hot line", but are separate centers. Cate Hartzell commented on the concerns shared regarding the consolidation of the law enforcement and possible jeopardizing of recruitment at this time. Wheeldon commented that the letter indicates that goals have already been made and that the next step is to get cities involved. She would like to get additional information as to the direction of this committee before becoming a participant. Laws suggested and council concurred, that this be postponed until someone from the Go Team group brings additional information back for council to make a decision with. 2. Request of County Commissioner Ric Holt for $650 contribution to bring demonstration commuter train to Rogue Valley. It was suggested that the council put a portion of their stipend toward this contribution. Councilor Hagen/Hauck m/s to approve request. Voice vote: all AYES. Motion passed. 3. Request to cut newly paved alley. Interim Public Works Director Jim Olson submitted to council a request from Jerome White and Dale Shostrum to cut the asphalt pavement surface in the alley north of "A" Street between Fourth and Fifth Streets. This pavement was installed on August 15, 1995 and is protected by moratorium until August 15, 2000. Olson reported that the purpose of the requested cut, is to install lot and footing drain lines to the storm drain line located in the center of the alley. Olson reported on background information on this area, that under normal circumstances downspout and lot drainage is directed to the top of the pavement at the edge of the alley and allowed to flow to the center of the alley to the nearest down slope catch basin. But, in this instance the existing grade is too low to provide the necessary slope to the alley surface. City Council Meeting 5-2-97 5 He felt that it would be possible to provide drainage for both lots by using a combined trench at the common lot boundary with a minimal cut. A letter from both White and Shostrum was provided to council outlining their request and the purpose for the cut. The Public Works Department recommends approval of this request. Councilors Laws/Hauck m/s to approve request. Voice vote: all AYES. Motion passed. 4. Status report on Talent/Ashland/Phoenix intertie project. City Administrator Brian Almquist summarized memo submitted by Rogue Valley Council of Governments, Associate Director Paula Brown, PE. Almquist reported to council on the options that were discussed with the Talent/Ashland/Phoenix (TAP) Water Intertie Committee, regarding Ashland's interest in funding the incremental construction costs at this time, and not paying for any capacity or usage driven numbers. He reported that Ashland has made a initial proposal to Talent/Phoenix, that would allow participation on an incremental cost basis. This means upsizing the pipe. The additional cost of the pipe, only as opposed to capacity cost. Almquist reported that the cost of the incremental upgrade of this pipe would be about $710,000. When Ashland connected to this pipe in the future, there would be an additional $516,000 due, plus any bond interest payments that may have been made in the interim. The total cost of this project would be about $1.226 million. Commented that constructing the line down to the Ashland Water Treatment Plant would be an additional $3.08 million. The grand total with this inclusion, would be $4.3 million at such time that the line was actually brought down to Ashland. Almquist clarified that this is a 1997 estimate and does not include the cost of purchasing the water, which would need to be brought along with the project from Lost Creek reservoir. The current cost of this water is $625.00 per acre foot, assuming 1.8mgb over a four month summer period, the cost of purchasing the water rights would be about $415,000. Annual Operation & Maintenance costs are $35.00 per acre foot, and once connected there would be an additional cost of $6,000 per year for O&M costs, whether the water is used or not. Almquist reported on the costs involved to bring all of Ashland's water supply from the Medford system, pealing at approximately 12 million gallons per day in the year 2050. If Ashland was to upsize the line to Talent only, the incremental cost increase would be $3.35 million. When Ashland connected to the line, there would be an additional $2.59 million due, for a total cost of $5.94 million. To bring this all the way to the City of Ashland and up to the treatment plant for re-chlorination and re-distribution, the grand total cost would be $12.65 million. Cost for purchasing water rights would still need to be factored into this total cost. City Council Meeting 5-2-97 6 i Almquist clarified for council that to bring all water supply from the Medford system would require a 36" line from Medford to Talent and a 30" line from Talent to Ashland. Almquist suggested that if it were possible to get a zero interest loan, or low interest loan it would be in our best interest to consider purchasing water rights at this time. Almquist reported that there should be additional information on the TID option of piping the irrigation ditch by October. Council commented that it is important to stay in the process if .it enables Talent and Phoenix to be in a better position for funding. Concern was shared on the reluctance of putting money out long range, but to continue as long as it doesn't cost the city any money. 5. Request by the City of Talent for an Intergovernmental Agreement for the provision of plans review and building inspection services for a two-year period. City Administrator Brian Almquist reported to council a request from the City of Talent for interim assistance in their Building Department for plan review and inspection activities through June 30, 1997. In addition, the City of Talent would like to seek a two-year Intergovernmental Agreement to continue these services beginning July 1, 1997. Almquist explained that City of Ashland Building Official Mike Broomfield, analyzed their service needs and are comfortable that this could be provided at the Ashland City Hall without any increase in personnel for 75% of the plans review and permit fees. Almquist stated that Ashland will not provide any Planning or Housing Code reviews. Almquist recommended that the City Attorney and himself be authorized to work with City of Talent official in preparing an agreement that would be submitted to both the Talent and Ashland City Council for their approval prior to June 30, 1997. Almquist noted that it also may be necessary to secure approval for the State Building Codes Division, if the Council approves the current recommendation. Councilor DeBoer/Hauck m/s to approve request. Voice vote: all AYES. Motion passed. ORDINANCES. RESOLUTIONS AND CONTRACTS 1. Second reading by title only of "an Ordinance Amending Sections 18.72.020, 18.72.040, 18.72.180 and 18.68.120 of the AMC relating to Wireless Communication Facilities (cellular towers)." Planning Director John McLaughlin clarified for council the addition and changes to the ordinance on page 4, under subsection (1) and subsection (2). McLaughlin clarified for council that the reason cell towers are prohibited in the North Mountain overlay zone and not in all residential zones, is because there are at present no buildings over 35 feet in height. Explained that there is no vision, in the No. Mountain Plan, that there would be any building over 35 feet in height. Explained that in other City Council Meeting 5-2-97 7 r+ residential zones, where there are schools or churches, there may be opportunity to coordinate cell towers on existing structures only. City Attorney Nolte explained that to the best of his knowledge, the reason for not allowing communities to consider health impacts, was that the federal government may have been lobbied heavily by the providers. The providers were concerned that they would be subject to a thousand different regulations and concerns by municipalities over the health effects. McLaughlin clarified that the Historic District is exempt under this ordinance, the only building that may be allowed would be the Mark Anthony Hotel. Also explained that in forcing competing companies to negotiate shared use of towers, under Preferred Designs, the first preferred option is co-location on existing towers. Question in regards to the possibility of challenging the prohibition in residential zones by providers could not be determined by McLaughlin. Explained that staff took the strictest approach in the initial planning of this ordinance, and through testimony, opportunities with local cell providers, changes were made to allow on existing structures incorporated in the architecture. McLaughlin clarified for council that it was the opinion of the planning staff and included in the first draft of the ordinance, that there is enough area for providers, that "barrier to entry" would not be a problem, if restriction in residential zones was challenged. PUBLIC HEARING OPEN: 8:55 p.m. Cate HartzeW881 E. Main/Shared facts she had obtained on the environmental effects and health impacts by radio frequency emissions. It was her opinion that the industry has already petitioned the FCC to delay the implementation of these regulations. Felt that compliance is based upon not considering health effects, as long as facilities comply with existing FCC regulations, which the industry has requested to suspend. Explained that the FCC regulations only pertain to the thermal effects of radio frequency, which is the ability to heat or explode. Hartzell quoted an FDA article that said, there is not enough evidence to say what kind of criteria should be used to determine the health effects for the non-thermal effects. Commented that there is indication that attorneys are intending to challenge the constitutionality of this clause in the Telecommunication Act. Commented that there are groups and communities in court who have contested the construction of these facilities on school properties. Commented on studies that showed the correlation between the increase of public concern on EMF and decrease in property values. Hartzell feels there are liability issues for the city in the future around these effects that we are being told you cannot think about. Felt that the concern regarding decrease in property values could be used as criteria considered in allowing these facilities. City Council Meeting 5-2-97 8 Urged council to look again at the Valdez Principles where it indicates being prudent. To use restraint in allowing these facilities in neighborhoods and schools, and draw boundaries around areas that can have boundaries drawn around them. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 9:05 p.m. McLaughlin clarified for council that the Conditional Use Process would be looking at issues of neighborhood compatibility, especially in the CUP when it has to be integrated architecturally into the structure. Does not feel there would be any more pressure put onto this through the CUP because it is a new technology. Councilor Hagen proposed prohibiting in residential rather than using the CUP process. Councilor Hauck in favor of seconding if made into a motion. McLaughlin pointed out to council that the proposed ordinance has had three previous noticed public hearings and that the AT&T representative had been at all previous hearings. Shared his discussion with AT&T representative, where based on this being second reading of an ordinance, that it was unlikely council would make any dramatic changes in the part of the ordinance that was previously discussed, such as the CUP for residential zones. Noted that the original change had been to broaden the ordinance to allow additional tower locations through stadium lighting. McLaughlin did not believe council would take this current direction, so the AT&T representative was not encouraged to attend the second hearing and this was not noticed as a public hearing. Requested that council allow opportunity for the representative to review what was said and offer a rebuttal. Hauck noted that council had agreed to look at the language regarding the proposed change, but only to see if it would work before making a final decision. Councilors Laws/Hagen m/s to postpone approval of second reading on Ordinance 112802 until June council meeting in order to notify AT&T representative. Discussion: Council discussion on considering alternatives for second reading which prohibits residential zones and may exempt school districts. Councilor Wheeldon in favor of relying on the CUP. Voice vote: Laws and Hagen, YES; DeBoer, Wheeldon and Hauck, NO. Motion denied, 2-3. Councilors DeBoer/Hauck m/s to amend Ordinance under Zoning Designations (1) page four, "Only allowed on existing structures greater than 45 feet in height". Roll Call vote: Laws, Hauck, Hagen, Wheeldon and DeBoer, YES. Motion passed. Councilors Hauck/Wheeldon to approve Ordinance #2802 as amended. Roll Call vote: Hauck, Hagen, Wheeldon and DeBoer, YES; Laws, NO. Motion passed 4-1. City Council Meeting 5-2-97 9 t 2.

Motion passed. OTHER BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS Councilor Wheeldon shared with council a meeting she attended at the Parks Commission where a presentation was made by Skip Andrews and Ellen Fabricamp. Wheeldon stated these individuals offered to facilitate a meeting regarding Flood Restoration. The Parks Commission was asked, if they were interested in providing a question that would be a center piece of the facilitation. It was discussed, that because this is a joint effort by the Parks & Recreation Department and City Departments, that the City Council may also participate in providing a question relating to the Flood Restoration. It was discussed then, that the previous public meetings by OTAK may not have been enough to get all the ideas out from the community. There was an agreement at the meeting that people would have liked to have met more often before the data was presented by OTAK. Wheeldon felt this was an opportunity for the council to join in and present a possible over- riding question to the community. Shared the Parks & Recreation Department question, "After the flood, how can the Historic character of Lithia Park be continued?". Councilor Laws understood that there was an agreement that there would be additional meetings of citizens, and different topics would be identified to meet on. He felt this was being arranged by the people who were currently participating on the coordinating of what was going on, and does not believe there is any need to bring anyone else in to do this. Laws not sure what reason there is to have someone else involved or managing what we currently have. Wheeldon explained that this offer of mediation was as a gift to the city and to the park. She describes this as a big brain-storming session, which would allow people to not focus on specifics, but on the big picture and how people felt about the sense of the park. Laws stated he had no problem with the proposed meeting, as Wheeldon clarified that the Parks Commission was in favor of this type of joint session. Cate Hartzell spoke and shared her understanding on the RFP related to Winburn Way. And, how to utilize that area in a way that maximizes its ability to handle potential flooding. Explained that there had been discussion on how to do this holistically, and to include the rest of the park in this consideration. Questioned what ways this could be done to integrate appropriate use of the park with its ability to serve its flood plain function. Felt this would steer people toward thinking about an integrated use approach. City Council Meeting 5-2-97 10 t Laws commented that this was close to the technical aspect, which the consultants were hired to do, as opposed to the vision. Would like to stay with the vision aspect. Council did not offer any question for the proposed session, but agreed to continue with this group and their participation. Hagen voiced his frustration on meetings that are being scheduled over other city meetings and the difficulty in keeping informed. Wheeldon reminded council that a committee needed to be formed for ICCA. Wheeldon commented on the activity in the air during Sunday's Airport Appreciation Day. DeBoer shared that there was a great number of children that were given rides and the enjoyment of all that were in attendance. He understood that this may be a concern of the citizens, but that this was one day of the year for this celebration. DeBoer explained that the Airport Commission has been in the process for the past seven months, to increase height of the airplanes in the pattern. Felt that this would cure a lot of problems, especially over the golf course area because it will change the turning radius. Informed council that the Commission is almost through the process, but it is a cumbersome process in making sure that FAA rules are followed and notifications are done. Believes this should change from 800 feet to 1,000 feet. " is DeBoer stated that the Airport Commission would address and be available to anyone with questions or problems. Wheeldon informed council that she had accepted an invitation to join and be part of the SOREDI Board. Councilor Hagen requested another council member to attend a Regional Planning Effort meeting that he would be unable to attend. Councilor Hauck agreed to attend and will provide packets and materials for council from the meeting. ADJOURNMENT Meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Barbara Christensen, City Recorder Catherine M.

Woodley, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Retirement Of Firefighter Marty Burns Marty Burns began his fire service career with the City Of Ashland on November 15th, 1971, at 25 years of age . Marty was born in Concord, California, and relocated with his family to Ashland as a youngster. Marty graduated from Ashland High School in 1963 , having firmly planted his "roots" in his new community. Marty has received numerous recognitions over the past 26 years of service to the citizens of Ashland for his work on a variety of department programs. He was instrumental in developing the community smoke detector placement program, which is still actively in place today as an important service of Ashland Fire & Rescue . His athletic prowess is nothing short of legendary among the present and past members of the department, having received numerous awards for competitive sports events . Marty is probably one of the most well-recognized members of the department, because of his good-natured personality and tendency to joke and tease those around him. Marty has displayed an uncommon ability to "bounce back" from misfortune, as witnessed by his successful return to work following a serious back injury. His tenacity has manifested itself on numerous occasions in his emergency work with the department . While we salute Marty in his fulfillment of 26 years of faithful, dedicated service to his community, we will greatly miss his lively personality in our department . We know, however, that we will continue to find him in our midst, on his daily walks along the streets of Ashland, giving the badminton courts a good workout and thoroughly enjoying his retirement in the community that he has so faithfully served. We congratulate Marty & Carolyn on Marty' s retirement from an organization that will greatly miss him. ASHLAND FIRE & RESCUE M E M O , May 13 , 1997 TO: Mayor Cathy Golden and City Council FROM: Keith E. Woodley, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Retirement Of Firefighter/Engineer Bill Robinson Bill Robinson began his fire service career with the City Of Ashland on November 1, 1967, at 21 years of age . Had it not been for a serious back injury necessitating his retirement from firefighting, Bill would have celebrated his 30 year anniversary with the Ashland Fire Department this coming November. Bill was born in Yreka, California, and moved to Ashland with his family as a youngster. Bill graduated from Ashland High School in 1963 and gained full-time employment within the community. Bill embraced his fire service career with great enthusiasm, and by 1971 he had been promoted to Firefighter/Engineer. In 1972, he tested and successfully gained placement on the promotional list as an Acting Battalion Chief . While his work with the department occupied a large amount of his time, Bill actively pursued numerous hobbies . His interest in hunting and fishing is widely recognized, earning him the descriptive motto : "If it runs, it' s done. If it flies, it dies ! " Bill also is an accomplished woodworking craftsman, having completed woodworking projects for the department throughout his 29 years of faithful, dedicated service to his community. Bill is also an avid "bleacher parent" , and has often been found on the sidelines during the sporting events of his children. We wish Bill and Sue great happiness and satisfaction throughout Bill' s retirement years and offer our appreciation for a "job well done" over the past 29 years with the Ashland Fire Department . ASHLAND HISTORIC COMMISSION Minutes May 7, 1997 CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at the Ashland Community Center by Chairperson Jim Lewis at 7:45 p.m. Members present were Jim Lewis, Terry Skibby, Vava Bailey, Cliff Llewellyn, Keith Chambers, Larry Cardinale, Curt Anderson, Joyce Cowan and Bill Harriff. Also present were Associate Planner Mark Knox and Secretary Sonja Akerman. No members were absent. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Cardinale moved and Bailey seconded to approve the April 2, 1997 Minutes as submitted. The motion was unanimously passed. STAFF REPORTS Planning Action 97-039 Conditional Use Permit 78 Sixth Street Ronald and Tracy Bass Knox explained the applicants are requesting a Conditional Use Permit in order to expand their garage eight feet for a home office. It is located one foot off the alley. They have met the Review Board and all agree, including Staff, this is the best alternative for an addition. In discussing the elevations, Knox related the railings seemed a little high so the applicants have agreed to lower them. The details will match the house. One parking space will still be in front of the garage, the other will be on the street. Staff is recommending approval. Skibby commented the one foot setback from the alley is typical in the area. Chambers said the owners are doing a tasteful job. Anderson noted there would be minimal impact on the neighborhood. Chambers moved to recommend approval of this application and Anderson seconded the motion. It was unanimously passed. Planning Action 97-035 Site Review 120 High Street Ryan Langmeyer Knox explained this application was administratively approved as a Staff Permit, but was called up for a public hearing by the neighbors, who appealed the decision because of alley ownership and traffic concerns. Knox said the alley is publicly owned. Overall, the parking i and tum-around will work with some minor adjustments. It is felt most of the neighbor concerns have to do with the owner's proposed townhouses on Church Street, which is a separate planning action. Knox said mediation broke down on that action and the appeal will go back to the City Council soon. Designer Ryan Langmeyer also maintained the call up was due to the other project and feels the neighbors want to stop everything the owner tries to do in the area. Contrary to Knox's contention the two planning actions are unrelated, Langmeyer stated there will be a lot line adjustment to allow more footage to the Church Street project. The site plan which was submitted depicts the adjusted footage, not the current footage. Harriff asked about the increased traffic. Langmeyer said he is not aware of a traffic count for the alley, but estimates the renters for 120 High Street will most likely access the property via High Street, not Church Street. Knox clarified the alley is 16 feet wide. Lewis and Chambers declared since there are no exterior changes, there wasn..t much for the Commission to discuss. Harriff moved and Llewellyn seconded to recommend approval of this application. The motion was unanimously passed.

Skibby stated the schedule is now on the Internet. Memo to City Council Regarding Ashland Pioneer Cemeteries Knox said that in speaking with the Finance Director, she indicated the City would wait to see if the flood bond measure passed before committing money to this. Changes in Elevations after Building Permits Issued Knox stated the materials and window sizes have changed on 62-66 East Main Street since the Building Permit was issued. After discussing this, Chambers suggested writing out critical points the Commission will be watching during construction, then keeping one on Ashland Historic Commission Minutes May 7, 1997 Page 3 I file and giving one to the contractor. Cardinale said if the Commission is concerned with the look of the building, the contractors should not be given options. This will be discussed during subsequent meetings. NEW BUSINESS New Members Knox related Mayor Golden had appointed Dale Shostrom and Carol Abrahamson to the Commission as replacements for Bill Harriff and Cliff Llewellyn. He stressed the importance of Review Board attendance. The Commission thanked Harriff and Llewellyn for their work on the Commission and commitment to historic preservation.

CITY OF ASHLAND • °"`°" "'° Department of Public Works �2 Public Works Administration MEMORANDUM REG I,y 1VP11 DATE: May 30, 1997 TO: Honorable Mayor Catherine Golden and City Council FROM: James H. Olson, Acting Public Works Director �j e V RE: Termination of a Public Utility Easement at 2510 Siskiyou Blvd REQUEST: Mr. Paul Kay has requested the termination of a 6-foot wide public utility easement across his property at 2510 Siskiyou Boulevard as shown on the attached maps. The public utility easement is to be replaced with a private utility easement to allow more flexibility in building encroachments. BACKGROUND: The 6-foot wide public utility easement was created as a large parcel was split in two by a land partition action in 1996. Because of the narrow lot configuration of the newly created lots the easement width was approved at six (6) feet rather than the usual 10 feet. To access existing facilities in Siskiyou Boulevard it was necessary to cross the width of the lot some distance south of the north property line thereby restricting the building envelope even further. As indicated in his attached letter of March 4, 1997, Mr. Kay is proposing to construct a building which is completely within building setbacks . but has a front porch encroachment across the full width of the easement. The easement currently carries only private service lines. Mr. Kay has presented a plan for encasement of these utilities in oversize conduit sleeves under the encroachment area. This would allow service lines to be replaced without disturbing the porch located above the easement. A public utility easement would not allow the flexibility of any building encroachment. Mr. Kay is confident that this encroachment would be acceptable under a private easement arrangement. PAGE I— (c:engineer\easement\termsisk.Mem) Mr. Kay has provided a quitclaim deed whereby the public utility easement would be extinguished. If the quitclaim deed is approved it is important that it not be recorded prior to the establishment of the private easement. The various utility companies have voiced no objection to this action. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council authorize the signing of the attached quitclaim deed.

WHEREAS, a continuance of this levy was not to be requested if the State of Oregon would fund schools at a level allowing for student teacher ratio and program offerings that were in place prior to Ballot Measure 5. WHEREAS, those revenues from the state have not been forthcoming, and the school district has been operating with a decrease in school support funds every year this levy has been in place. WHEREAS, the revenues supporting the Athletics and Activities from this levy have helped the school district maintain a quality academic program. WHEREAS, the Ashland School Board believes it is in the best interest of the students and the community to see that these athletic and activity programs are maintained. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Ashland School Board supports the continuance of the Athletic and Activity Levy and requests the City of Ashland to place it on the ballot for the September 16 Election.

Board Chairperson Date i boomm SCHNEIDER MUSEUM OF ART May 22, 1997' Mayor Catherine Golden MAY f Ashland City Council LV`1�Ljar7rtsC=J 20 East Main Street __------------------------ Ashland, Oregon 97520 Dear Mayor Golden and Council members: The Schneider Museum of Art, with the endorsement of the Southern Oregon University Executive Committee, wishes to request City Council approval to permanently mount fabric banners on city light poles on the center island of Siskiyou Boulevard at the locations shown on the enclosed drawing. Specifically, the Museum is planning 4 double-sided banners, 138" high x 48" wide, to be tandem mounted on two poles. The size of the banners is the same as those approved for the Pacific Northwest Museum and will utilize similar mounting hardware. The banners will be fabricated by Doublet in San.Francisco and installed by Outback Welding of Ashland. Enclosed is a drawing illustrating the graphics for the banner. The background will be lavender with white lettering. Please call with questions, or if you wish a representative of the Schneider Museum to be present at the Council meeting.

The proposed rate schedule reduces an average residential customer bill by 7.7 percent. This is the first change in water rates since October of 1994. Background: In the fall of 1993 the City commisioned a water and sewer rate study. This comprehensive water study prepared,by Hilton,Famkopf and Hobson, looked at operating and capital costs through 1998, and included developing a water and sewer rate model for the City. Cost-of-service analysis was performed to allocate revenue requirements to the residential and non-residential customer classes. Costs were also allocated among water customers on the basis of their average and peak demands and on the basis of their meter sizes. This study recommended a new rate design,which was adopted March of 1994. In that year, the City faced many uncertainties as discussed below: March `94 The new water rate design and schedule were implemented. This design was to encourage the wise use of water through increasing block rates, but was a totally new design for the City water rates. April `94 The City Council authorized the staff to proceed with the issuance of bonds for the $2 million upgrade to the Water Treatment Plant. A state-wide ballot measure was certified which,upon voter approval, would have precluded any further utility rate increases without a vote of the people. This ballot measure failed in November `94. June `94 A resolution was passed increasing water rates effective October 1. This was prepared without the knowledge gained by using the rate model through a peak water use period. This was necessary because of the water revenue bond covenant, which required that the City ensure that water revenues would be adequate to provide for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the water system as well as all debt service. Since revenues received.by the City are very dependent on weather and fluctuate widely from year to year,it was necessary to be conservative in our estimates to satisfy this covenant. i Water Use Rates Page 2 July `94 The City Council approved increasing the bond issue from $2 million to $3.8 million based upon the more complete engineers' estimates of the cost to epgrade the Water Treatment Plant. Aug-Sept `94 Water curtailment was instituted for approximately one month. October`94 The City issued water revenue bonds for the construction of the Water Treatment Plant. Summer`96 Ample water supply and hot dry weather contributed to increased water revenues for the City. I, Sept `96 Water Treatment Plant was completed for a cost of$3.8 million. The City was able to reduce staffing at Water Treatment Plant from a total of six employees to two employees,resulting in personnel savings. January` 97 The flood caused approximately$985,000 damage to the water system. May `97 The citizens approved a bond issue paying for the flood damage capital costs not reimbursed by FEMA. May `97 The water rate model was updated based on the 1997-98, 1998-99, and 1999-2000 budgets. This included more recent operational data,and separate multi-family water-use statistics based on actual data. In the previous model,this information was estimated because this customer group was included with commercial customers. Some of the most common asked questions may be as follows: Since water rates are going down do I get a refund? No. The City needs to replace the roof to Crowson Water Reservoir during 1997-98. This larger-than-expected cost will require excess fund balance or carryover to be used. Why doesn't a commercial customer receive a rate reduction? The recent rate study shows that the current rate charged to this customer class is adequate to cover the costs of this customer group. What is my savings? The average residential customer will see their annual water bill drop from $293.24 annually to $270.60. This is equal to an average $22.94 (7.72 percent) annually or $1.89 per month. Will my sewer rate go down also? No,this does not directly effect your sewer bill. Your sewer bill is calculated on the average water metered in January through March. If you change your water use pattern during this winter period,then your sewer bill will be effected. Water Use Rates Page 3 How long should these rates be good for? The proposed rates should be adequate for the next couple of years, based on the current operational standards and capital improvement plan. There is discussion within the community about a water exchange with TID and a Medford intertie project with Talent. Since these projects are in the conceptual stages and no decisions on water supply have been made by the City council these costs have not been included. The eleven-page water rate model is available from the Finance Department upon request. Attachment: Resolution 97- adopting new fees effective July 1, 1997.

ZZ MEMORANDUM DATE: May 22, 1997 TO: Mayor Catherine Golden and City Council FROM: James H. Olson, Acting Public Works Director RE: Request for Water Service to Property on Dead Indian Memorial Road REQUEST: Mr. John Bergren who owns the residence at 380 Dead Indian Memorial Road has requested permission to connect to the existing water main which runs along his residence. The property is outside the City limits but within the Urban Growth Boundary. BACKGROUND: As Mr. Bergren expressed in his letter (copy attached), his property received extensive damage during the New Years flood. His water well also received damage in the form of water contamination. His efforts to clean the well have been unsuccessful. As his property is located on Neil Creek and the relative small size of the lot precludes moving the well much farther from the Creek, it is anticipated that contamination problems may be ongoing. Clean-up of contaminated wells is extremely difficult and often times is not possible. SUMMARY OF EXISTING FACILITIES: The water line in Dead Indian Memorial Road is a 6-inch pipe from Highway 66 to the Airport. There are currently three (3) residences and the Airport is served off this line. The line pressure is over 100 psi. With the completion of the Airport Water Main Project in August of this year the water flow will increase significantly. The connection of another residential service would have no adverse impact on the water system in that area either before or after the new waterline connection is made.

Ashland, OR 97520 482-1426 City of Ashland Public Works Dept. 27 1/2 No. Main Ashland, OR 97520 Dear Mr. Olson, This is a formal request for our residence to be hooked up to Ashland city water as per our conversation in your office last week. Our home was flooded on the morning of January 1 ,1997. We had our well tested as was recommended because of the flooding and found that our water was contaminated with e-coli bacteria. We have been buying bottled water for human consumption since . then, but it doesn't seem safe to use the well water for other purposes either. The city water is piped by in front of our house and we would like to hookup to the city water as soon as possible. Thank you for your help in this matter.
