A Council of Governments (COG) is a voluntary association of cities, counties, and special purpose districts within a region. COGS serve as planning, coordination, program development, and service delivery organizations in regions across the nation. Although Councils of Governments differ in size and range of activities from one region to another, their fundamental shared purpose is to employ collaborative mechanisms to help the public sector operate more efficiently and effectively. In addition, as a matter of organizational design, COGS share a high degree of responsiveness to those with whom they work—because COGS are almost always voluntary associations, whatever they do must be accomplished with the expressed consent and support of their members. What is RVCOG? The COG promotes regional As provided for in Chapter 190 of the cooperation and provides services Oregon Revised Statutes, the Rogue Valley Council of Governments (RVCOG) and resources which might not was established by the member otherwise be affordable or available governments in 1968 to operate in Jackson and Josephine Counties. to local governments. Currently, RVCOG has 22 members: 15 local governments, as well as 7 other entities (such as special districts and Jackson higher education). Inherent in the coon design of councils of governments, Josephine RVCOG is owned and operated by its cOun� member entities. Elected and appointed representatives from each of Hie the members serve on RVCOG's Board of Directors, which governs the r organization. In addition to the Board, "d RVCOG's moving parts comprise an do, gym= Executive Committee, professional staff, and a variety of permanent and temporary advisory committees of stakeholders, members of the public, and technical experts. The majority of RVCOG's funding comes through grants and contracts with federal, state, and local governments, with additional monies coming from donations and membership dues. Unlike its member governments, RVCOG has no legislative, taxing, or enforcement authority. Providing Services Although the COG is officially organized along departmental and programmatic lines, services can also be considered a function of how the organization is designed to interact with member jurisdictions, and/or how the project or program's activities are funded. Along these lines, RVCOG has four major modes of operation: 4 1. We have the long-term responsibility for implementing certain state and federal programs. For example, we administer the Medicaid program for the region, and we are the home of the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (RVMPO) for the Greater Bear Creek Valley. 2. We collaborate with our members to obtain funding and cooperation from state, federal, and non-governmental entities to perform specific tasks. Our involvement can originate as a request from local members or from state or federal agencies. 3. We directly contract with our member jurisdictions for specific services. Grant administration is a good example of this, as is our ability to provide a staff member as a city's contract land use planner. 4. On a limited basis, we respond directly to requests from the private sector and from individuals. RVCOG Programs Rogue Valley Council of Governments is organized into seven main areas of operation: ➢ Natural Resources ➢ Senior& Disability Services ➢ Transportation Planning ➢ Senior Meals Program ➢ Land Use Planning ➢ Special Member Services ➢ Community Development Although RVCOG's programs have evolved over the years as a response to new needs of members and changing funding sources, it has always maintained its fundamental role as a regional resource for technical expertise and project management, as well as a collective voice for the region when working with the state or federal government.

The department supplies specialized technical assistance and planning services to RVCOG members and other partner organizations, and provides staff support for multidisciplinary committees. • h , Services Overview ➢ Regulatory Compliance (Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act) ➢ Regional Water Quality Planning ➢ Water Quality Sampling and Analysis ➢ Stormwater Management ➢ Riparian Planting ➢ Wetland Restoration ➢ TMDL Implementation ➢ Grant Writing and Project Management ➢ Educational Programs and Outreach ➢ Resource Mapping and GIS ➢ Vernal Pools Conservation Planning ➢ Meeting Facilitation and Coordination ➢ Stakeholder Involvement ➢ Biological and Hydrological Surveys t ➢ Feasibility Studies and Environmental Assessments ➢ Fish Passage Projects ➢ Parks and Greenway Planning(e.g., Rogue River Greenway) Main Advisory Committees The considerable variety of activities undertaken by the Natural Resources Department creates an ongoing need for temporary, project-specific advisory committees, but there are three long-standing committees that illustrate the core importance of water quality issues in the Rogue Valley. All of these committees address water quality requirements under the federal Clean Water Act. ➢ Bear Creek TMDL Committee includes representatives from the Designated Management Agencies (DMAs) responsible for developing and implementing water quality management plans to meet established allowable pollutant loadings(TMDLs)for the Bear Creek Watershed. ➢ Rogue Basin TMDL Committee includes representatives from the DMAs responsible for developing and implementing water quality management plans to meet established allowable pollutant loadings (TMDLs)for the Rogue River. ➢ Stormwater Advisory Team includes representatives from the DMAs responsible for developing and implementing Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations for the Bear Creek Watershed. Staff Contact Craig Harper Natural Resources Program Manager 541-423-1369 charger @rvcog.orR 6 Transportation Planning While our transportation staff offers a variety of transportation-related planning services outside of the boundaries of the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (RVMPO), the majority of its work is dedicated to staffing the RVMPO. Federal transportation law requires C z that transportation planning activities in urbanized areas with populations over 50,000 be coordinated through a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). MPOs were created in order to ensure that existing and future expenditures of governmental funds for transportation projects and programs are based on a continuing, { cooperative, and comprehensive(3-C) planning process. Metropolitan Planning Organization RVCOG was designated as the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (RVMPO) by the Governor in 1982. Today, RVCOG continues to fully staff the MPO,which is responsible for: ➢ Developing and maintaining a Regional Transportation Plan and , Transportation Improvement Program; ➢ Coordinating transportation decisions among local jurisdictions, state agencies, and area transit operators; ➢ Developing an annual Unified Planning Work Program; ➢ Performing air quality conformity analyses for carbon monoxide ^+ F' and particulate matter; ➢ Utilizing a regional travel demand model for the purposes of �. assessing, planning, and coordinating regional travel demand �l+ impacts; and, ➢ Providing public involvement opportunities in the transportation planning process. Main Policy and Advisory Committees ➢ RVMPo Policy Committee makes final RVMPO planning decisions. It is composed of elected officials from Central Point, Medford, Phoenix, Ashland, Talent,Jacksonville, Eagle Point, Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD), Jackson County, and ODOT. The Policy Committee considers public comment and recommendations from two permanent advisory committees, the Technical Advisory Committee and the Public Advisory Council. ➢ Technical Advisory Committee, made up of technical staff from the public works and planning departments of member jurisdictions, local agencies and state planning officials. ➢ Public Advisory Council, made up of appointed citizens from geographic and special-interest areas within the RVMPO who make recommendations from the public's perspective on proposed long-range transportation plans, project plans, priorities for state and federal funding and other transportation issues.

Ordinance development and updates, Comprehensive Plan updates, Periodic Review, and collaborative planning processes are among the services available. RVCOG's ability to provide contract planner services to jurisdictions is an excellent example of the benefits of RVCOG membership. For a reasonable per-hour cost, our member jurisdictions can purchase only the services they need, when they need them, without incurring the costs of a full- or part-time employee and without the potential conflicts of interest that could result when hiring a private sector planner. _ Staff Contact Dick Converse Principal Land Use Planner ' 541-423-1373 dconverse @rvcog.org Community Development Part of the Planning Department, Community Development assists member jurisdictions, as well as other RVCOG departments, with the r development and implementation of public involvement processes required for a broad array of planning projects in our region. These projects are often multi-jurisdictional, ranging from transportation and water resources to planning for special populations. RVCOG also assists communities with strategic planning and goal setting; local assessments; public outreach; and special projects such as emergency planning, ordinance development, and opinion surveys. The newest addition to Community Development is an emphasis on facilitating the expanded use of renewable energy in the region, the main objective being the creation of quality jobs and the retention of local money in the region. Over the last several years, RVCOG's grant administration services have been the most requested service under Community Development. RVCOG can provide our members with expertise in even the most complicated and burdensome federal and state grant programs—Community Development Block Grants, State Energy Program Grants, Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants, as well as low- interest loan programs such as the Safe Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund and the USDA's Water and Wastewater Loans. Depending on the grant program, RVCOG's services are often free of cost to the jurisdiction. RVCOG can also assist in matching grant requests with funding sources, helped in large part by our excellent reputation with donor agencies for on-time, error-free grant administration.

Through its Senior & Disability Services department (SDS), RVCOG helps seniors and adults with disabilities in our communities, by coordinating with local service providers to develop a network of services to help seniors and _ adults with disabilities live with dignity and independence. A 23-member Senior Advisory Council and an 11-member Disability Services Advisory r. Council appointed by the RVCOG Board of Directors assist in coordination and development, planning and advocacy. SOS RVCOG directly receives a variety of federal, state and local funding. With these funds, the department is projected to provide $3,426,409 of services in Jackson and Josephine Counties during Fiscal Year 2012. SDS RVCOG is also administratively responsible for the State of Oregon Title XIX (Medicaid) Long-Term Care and Financial Assistance programs, which f are projected to provide approximately $70,000,000 of services in Jackson and Josephine Counties during Fiscal Year 2012. i . SDS RVCOG provides some services directly and contracts with local agencies for others. Direct services are provided through a central administrative office, located in Central Point, and three field offices: two in Jackson County—the Senior Services Office and the Disability Services Office—and the combined Senior and Disability Services Office in Josephine County. Main Advisory Committees Citizen involvement and community partnerships play a vital role in service quality, availability and delivery. SDS RVCOG has an executive committee, as well as several standing committees organized by functional area,which report to these two advisory councils: ➢ Senior Services Advisory Council (SAC), as mandated by the Older Americans Act and the Oregon Revised Statutes (Chapter 410), provides citizen involvement, guidance and support to the Area Agency (RVCOG) to help ensure that programs and service delivery meet the needs of local seniors. ➢ Disability Services Advisory Council(DSAC) receives its authority from Oregon Revised Statutes (Chapter 410) and advises Disability Services staff on basic policy guidelines for those clients receiving services to review and evaluate the effectiveness of the services provided by RVCOG SDS; to advocate for appropriate services; and to address other related topics, such as accessibility and transportation issues. Staff Contact Don Bruland SDS Program Director 541-423-1380 dbruland @rvcog.org 9 Senior Meals Program A senior nutrition program is designed to support independent living. Balanced nutrition and frequent social contact are key to maintaining good health—and vital for those who want to continue living independently at home. SDS RVCOG has operated the Meals on Wheels and Senior Meals Program of Jackson and Josephine Counties since 2001.The program, appropriately called Food & Friends, is serving approximately 220,000 meals a year. 5' Each month, over 300 dedicated volunteers deliver 15,000 meals to individuals living independently at home who for health reasons cannot " make their own meals, and approximately 4,000 meals a month are served at 12 congregate meal sites located throughout the two-county area. J In many cases volunteers are the only people our seniors see on any given '{ day. The program provides not only a meal—it provides vital contact and a safety net for local seniors—and can support seniors who have a long or - short term need for meal delivery. Each hot or frozen meal contains a . minimum of one-third of the recommended daily allowance of required nutrients. All meals contain an entree, two vegetables or fruit, milk, and a dessert. Low sodium and diabetic meals are available upon request. The Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) is authorized by the Older Americans Act (OAA) to provide additional funding for meals to older persons under the provisions of the Senior Nutrition Program. SDS RVCOG I f is reimbursed within federally allocated funding based on actual meal preparation costs. �•'" Because Federal and State funding only accounts for approximately two- thirds of what is necessary for Food & Friends to provide meals to the region's growing senior population, we rely on foundations, cities, ► �•�; counties, service organizations, businesses, churches, and clients to help q close the financial gap. As a result, fund raising activities are an essential part of our staff's responsibilities. Main Advisory Committee ➢ Nutrition Advisory Committee, as mandated by the OAA, meets quarterly to review all aspects. of the Food & Friends Program, including evaluation of outcomes and surveys of volunteers and meal recipients. Staff Contact Evelyn Kinsella Nutrition Program Manager 541-734-9505 x3 ekinsella @rvcog.org 10 Special Member Services RVCOG's Administration Department offers a range of services to its members, such as computer network design, accounting services, human resources, technical writing, procurement assistance, customer satisfaction surveys, executive recruitment, and special projects and studies. RVCOG also provides staff support and assistance to a variety of regional meetings to promote the dialog among local units of government and state agencies, including the Public Managers, Small City Infrastructure, and Local State Coordinating Group meetings. Information Technology RVCOG's technology specialist is available to member jurisdictions for network maintenance; website design, hosting and maintenance; consulting on hardware and software purchases; and evaluating information systems. For more information, contact Brian Benton at 541-423-1385 or bbentonCDrvcoa.orR. Finance Financial management (short or long term), financial systems analysis, and accounting services are offered to RVCOG members on a contract basis. To find out more, contact Alan Hudson at 541-423-1376 or ahudsonPrvcog.org. Special Projects, Studies and Surveys RVCOG strives to be flexible and responsive to its members' needs. RVCOG has helped develop requests for proposals, apply for grants, conduct surveys, and administer special projects, providing assistance and expertise where the work level could not justify devoting a member's own staff to the task. If a member needs experienced staff on a short term or irregular basis, • RVCOG seeks to find a way to meet that need.

As of June 2011, total fund equity was $844,000, attributable to the value of the COG's building and land, and the positive balance in the organization's internal service funds (building operations, leave liability, vehicle, and computer funds). For fiscal year 2010/2011, there was an increase in total assets over total liabilities of $27,595, with just over $20,000 of that (RVCOG's "profit" for the year) coming from project and administrative operations. The COG has also enjoyed greater stability and consistency in budgets over the last decade. From FY99/00 to FY03/04, the COG maintained an operating range of between $5 and $6 million dollars in its budgets, the result of a healthy balance of factors such as sustainable staffing levels, member needs, and local, state, and federal funding. Following this 5-year period of budget consolidation and slow growth, the last eight years have seen the COG move to the next level, between the $6 and $7 million dollar range, at which it is likely to remain for the foreseeable future. The current year's budget is$6.78 million. RVCOG Budgets FY 94/95 - 11/12 $7,000,000 $6,000,000 $5,000,000 $4,000,000 $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $ Ntscl 040, oCOP \\Cl �%�°'a oe oa"', o,\otio-V\", ovs d§1 o4 P ro oqP P a C%,P p oCV yCS�yy�~ti It is important to mention that RVCOG has managed to maintain its 17% indirect rate for the last five fiscal years. Although the rate was increased from 16% six years ago in FY05/06, the change was a necessary outcome of the COG's decision to reduce annual membership dues by 40% across the board. For our member jurisdictions, this 40%dues decrease has meant a total annual savings to our members of approximately $63,000, far outweighing the minor increase in indirect costs needed to make these 12 savings possible. It also merits mention that the COG has not increased dues for the last five years in recognition of the phasing out of O&C funds and the continued poor national and local economic trends. Although the decreased revenue has been a difficult adjustment for the COG, we felt at the time, and continue to feel, that we have no choice but to respond to national, state-wide, and regional economic issues, especially those directly affecting our member jurisdictions, while at the same time continuing to respond to local requests for our involvement and assistance. In addition, the COG has been aggressive in maintaining the billable hourly rate of its employees at a relatively flat level. As the graph below shows, from FY02/03 to FY11/12, a period of nine years, the average hourly billable rate for our employees has varied only slightly. At this point, our average loaded hourly wage is less than 7% more than it was in early 2003, a concrete example of our determination to keep our costs as low as possible. Average Loaded Hourly Rate, All Employees $48.00 $43.00 46.02 $46.00 $46.24 45.68 $42.85 $43.04 $43.28 $43.61 $42.15 $43.84 $38.00 02/03 03/04 04/05 05/06 06/07 07/08 08/09 09/10 10/11 11/12 46 staff 44 staff 44 staff 46 staff 46 staff 48 staff 44 staff 44 staff 45 staff 46 staff Finally, the chart below illustrates in summary form the various sources of COG funds. Although RVCOG membership dues are the organization's smallest revenue category at 1.4% of the total budget, their importance to the organization cannot be overstated. It is this revenue that helps us leverage critical federal and state funding, as well as pay for some of the COG's basic operating responsibilities that are not recoverable through our cost allocation plan (direct and indirect charges).

I admire the Ashland City Council and government for its historically progressive and activitist approach at solving the problems and meeting the needs of the community. You have consistently taken a leadership position in renewable resources and urban planning that is an important model for other governmental entities in our region. The two major issues that I want to address in my campaign are solar power and a Nurse Practitioner clinic for Jackson County. I am announcing the Nurse Practitioner clinic here tonight as I hope the people who are here or the people who are listening will write the current commissioners and express support for my idea. I think that Jackson County could open a Nurse Practitioner clinic for the public in Jackson County.at a cost of$30 for a primary care basic visit. The substantial savings to the public of this primary care is in the interests of the City of Ashland directly. If your group health insurance participants used the clinic for all the qualifying visits,then your employees and the city of Ashland would save up to$40,000 per year on its group health costs. 20,255 ashland population X .79(non-medicare/medicaid population) =16001 16001 x 1.65 = 26,402 nurse practitioner office visits 26,402 X 49=$1,293,717 savings for Ashland citizens on primary care. I have copies of my proposal with me tonight, and I will be presenting it to the County Commissioners on Wednesday April 4. 1 hope that some of you will contact the commissioners and express support for a clinic with such a low cost to bring down the costs for us all. You can find the details of my proposal on the clinic and also my solar power ideas at electmarksoderstrom.com Pvb e 1 ►n The $30 Office Visit or How to Save Up to $11.8 million on Primary Healthcare in Jackson County, Oregon* Presentation to Jackson County Commissioners by Mark Soderstrom April 4, 2012 Matt 25:36 I was sick and you looked after me, Let me first say I think you as Commissioners are doing a great job,and I also think the entire medical community in Jackson County has done a great job of taking care of us. Health care is a cost of doing business just as much as steel, as a raw material,or any other business cost. Health care is a cost of doing business just as much as steel, as a raw material, or any other business cost. You commissioners as policymakers for a health delivery system have it within your power to innovate here in Jackson County to reduce the cost and improve the quality of health care for our residents. More than one dollar of every six that is spent in Jackson is spent on health care. To make our county internationally competitive at attracting employers we need to reduce this cost to what foreign competitors in Europe and Japan pay for health care. If we can lower the cost of doing business or government in Jackson County it increases our chances that we can attract more employers to our county. Recently I heard a statistic that it costs one billion dollars more to build a computer chip plant in America than elsewhere. A significant part of that cost differential is the cost of health care. This proposal is only a first step in the development of a more streamlined system of health care for Jackson County residents. Additional cost savings need to be researched and perhaps pursued. Some of the additional areas that I would recommend this commission research are: Why are CT scans, MRI's, and other scans so much more expensive here than elsewhere? Why are anesthesiologists allowed a virtual monopoly in many Oregon cities and towns? Why specifically does our health care cost twice as much in Jackson County as a county in Europe or Japan?Why aren't Jackson County Commissioners allowed/invited to attend Board Meetings at our hospitals to represent the people in health care policy decisions? Be it resolved: The Commissioners of Jackson County should instruct the County Administrator to hire Nurse Practitioners and establish them in a primary care clinic that will serve the general public. The clinic should provide basic services only and follow scope of practice guidelines. The clinic should have no other employees than the Nurse Practitioners. The clinic should not have file clerks, receptionists,or billing clerks. The clinic should take cash or debit cards only, and the clinic should not bill insurance or Medicare. Background I have surveyed health costs in Jackson County.The cost of a private pay primary care visit in Jackson County is about$79 or more. Some offices were$150 or more.The charge for a primary care visit for a Nurse Practitioner is the same cost as a physician visit in most medical offices in Jackson County. Jackson County as a governmental organization has the power to significantly reduce health care costs for the citizens in Jackson County. 1. The average number of doctor visits per person per year is 3.19. AAFP.org/fpm 2. A nurse practitioner can see 20 patients per day. Medscape.com/viewarticle/728477 3. 52%of office visits could be handled by nurse practitioners. Aacm.nche.edu/media-relations/fact- sheets/nurse-practitioners. 4. Jackson County has about 874 employees, and it pays about$40.45 per hour salary for a nurse practitioner(Jackson County already employs 2-3 nurse practitioners). 5. Add about 37%to the hourly wage for non salary employment costs of a nurse practitioner. 6. Estimated savings: County Group Health Plan costs.

We believe that there are many who are homeless by circumstance and do what they can to extract themselves from this situation. However,we also believe there are some members of the homeless community who choose to be disruptive. We see an ebb and flow of people who congregate in front of the Black Swan Theatre,who often are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and who frequently harass our patrons and employees. I am not talking about benign panhandling but rather am talking about abusive language and intimidating behavior if patrons are not responsive to their requests or demands for financial assistance. Many patrons and company members have spoken about their fears and anxiety. Many choose to avoid that area altogether so they are not placed in a confrontational situation. Many have expressed reluctance about returning to Ashland. This is a serious problem that could affect the wellbeing and economic health of our community. We are committed to working with our local businesses,committee members and political leaders to find lasting solutions. v . Sincerely, Paul Nicholson Executive Director Linda Marley Fern Executive Assistant Oregon Shakespeare Festival 15 S.

Box 201 Ashland, Oregon 97520 2 April 2012 Ashland City Council 20 East Main Ashland, OR 97520 Re: Our lamentable Garbage Service To the Council, We don't have a good deal with Recology. There is no decline in the quality of the drivers so this is not about the drivers, but Recology's management policies have set up a climate of not serving rather than serving. For example; 1)In one multi unit complex former service policies allowed or required drivers to come onto the property to pick up can or dumpsters from a designated sheltered and screened area close to the front property line. But last Friday when I called to learn why no pick up was made, the office indicated that policy was terminated and they would no longer pick up from that sheltered and screened area close to the front. The tenants or someone at that multi unit complex must drag out containers to the curb to be ransacked by dogs and raccoons over night before pickup. 2)The company also refused to pick up a dumpster at another location if cars were parked anywhere near although there was more than an adequate amount of clearance from the traditional location of the dumpster to where it could be picked up. By traditional, I submit that Ashland Sanitary had been picking up the dumpster for 23 years before Recology wouldn't. Phone calls to Recology resulted in no accommodation so I solved the problem by becoming more insistent(my leases require recycling)about recycling at the complex and then exchanging the dumpster for two '/z half cubic yard carts which cost less money. This means Recology makes less money. 3) For months before exchanging the dumpster the drivers would leave the dumpster near the street instead of replacing it. Do we want our garbage company to leave dumpsters along our streets? Do we want all our trash cans to be left next to the streets to please Recology's management? That particular dumpster had been handy for use when I had occasional construction debris, but Recology's policy of not picking up the dumpster if cars were within any distance of the dumpster and of continually leaving the dumpster near the street rather than replacing it was inconvenient for the residents and for me,and again, it resulted in less revenue for them. 4)Recently I enquired about cleaning dumpsters. I asked the office if Recology still had a policy,where periodically they picked up dumpsters, cleaned them and then returned them. This was done by Ashland Sanitary on an as needed, six month or yearly basis. I was told Recology no longer did that. It was now up to the customer to hose out dumpsters. This means customers are now to tip dumpsters on their side (if we are strong enough) hose them out of all the toxics, food debris and other crud and flush it all into the storm drains if we don't want our dumpsters provide a putrid stench for neighborhood suffrance. The above four issues,I believe,need to be dealt with immediately. Recycling opportunities and compliance are much better than they were 20 years ago. That is of course a good thing,but recycling needs to evolve. Few probably remember Ken Hagen and how instrumental Ken was concerning recycling in Ashland and throughout the Rogue Valley. If Ken were alive, he would have pushed for a further evolution of our recycling opportunities. Thus,we should too. Over the long tern we need to make the following improvements: 5) We need to be able to recycle all types of plastic all year not just once per year. 6) We need to have a place to drop scrap metal rather than just at the dump. We must cease disposing of tons of reusable metal each year in our trash cans and dumpsters. Scrap metal is worth at least$.10 per pound or$200 per ton. This could likely be a profitable area for Recology if we could accommodate a debris box for scrap metal on Water Street. 7) We need a place or system to recycle sheet rock,concrete scraps,broken pavers and the like rather than throwing it out at the land fill. 8)Recology instituted a policy where the dump now rejects loads of used sheet rock causing contractors and homeowners to have to pay hundreds of dollars for environmental tests to merely dispose of some used sheet rock when sheet rock generally has not had asbestos for 35 years if it ever had asbestos. We need a study of this issue. This is a case where the consumer is ultimately penalized for the poor or conscienceless manufacturing or industrial practices of manufacturers. The probabilities of hazardous material being contained in the sheet rock are minimal. I ask the Council to turn this issue over to the building department or a committee or someone to end this hardship for small builders and"do it your self"homeowners unless there is indeed a bona fide hazard. If over the next 100 years disposing of sheet rock is indeed a problem as Recology`s policy would indicate,then our state legislature(Mssrs. Buckley and Bates) needs to ensure that every piece of sheet rock manufactured from now on prominently features the date of manufacture on the rear side so all will know that there are no hazardous materials in the sheet rock by that date of manufacture. I ask the council to have the Public Works Department or other designated person or persons immediately negotiate with Recology to remedy problems 1 thru 4 and follow up on 5 through 8. Lastly, I do want to acknowledge why it is understandable that drivers turn over the bins that we put glass in and that they leave our trash cans and recycling carts askew. After they go through a neighborhood, it does look"tomadoish" ,but I believe drivers want to make sure we know that the pickup was made so we don't call about a missed service that wasn`t. But overall we have a right to expect service from Recology, not reasons why we cannot be served. Our quality of service has declined. As a community it is not relevant that Recology may not make the return on investment they want. If they cannot meet our needs,the company should sell the Ashland-Talent operation to a group,hopefully local,that fits in better. We know we don't want continual recycling of their same old"how can we not serve you policies". Thank you. Just wanting trash and recyclables picked up and disposed of, Brent g:-Thompson—L n +� 541488-0407 �5a � - l 41a/ ia� Owning Ashland's Homeless Crisis (,er(y The homeless crisis isn't going away,Iand is here to stay, both in Ashland and throughout the United States. Economic pressures,joblessness, mental illness, and reactionary attitudes or, at very minimum, personality disorders will insure that the homeless problem will not solve itself without thoughtful and creative solutions. The homeless crisis will require the combined efforts of municipal governments and NGO's. Turning our heads the other way or burying our heads in the black sticky clay will not make the crisis disappear. True, the backdrop of poverty does not bode well for a town rich with education, bed and breakfasts, and Shakespeare. But if we have learned one thing, it is that homelessness needs to be addressed proactively with a solution-oriented team approach, with City Council taking an engaging position, if not leading the way. Exclusionary zones will not work. Passing out tickets or time spent in jail have proven to be ineffective solutions. Our tranquil hillsides continue to be occupied by homeless camps, and are environment is under the continual threat of forest fires, as well as surface and ground water contamination. 1:Rubbish; 2. Forest Fire above Lithia Springs Inn and also on the South end of Ashland that claimed some 11 homes. I would offer two solutions that are already in our midst and within arms reach, as soon as the City Council activates itself and embraces homelessness in a sincere and mature fashion as a real and palpable problem in and around Ashland. I perceive that your job description entails identifying Ashland's resources, both physical and fiscal, and matching them with the problems at hand, towards the end result of safety, stability and livability for the majority of people. I don't envy your positions, and I honor your commitment to identifying lasting solutions to the mounting challenges that afflict Ashland. To date there are 18 some odd venues, studios, or academies within Ashland or its urban growth boundary where classes are being conducted. These spaces are rented out for courses and workshops such as dance, exercise, and yoga. Only a few of these spaces achieve 100 percent occupancy whereas the majority have room to accommodate other renters. On a per capita basis, Ashland is rich with classroom rental space. Three of these venues include the Ashland Community Center, Pioneer Hall, and the Grove. These three venues are grossly underutilized, in part because of the abundance of other local venues. I don't have to remind the Council that the Grove was established through non-profit funds to address the problem of challenged youth. Turn the clock forward a decade, when a number of Ashland's challenged youth that slipped through the crack are contributing to the homeless problem in Ashland and around the country. There are 18 venues to conduct yoga and meditation classes in our vicinity, yet not one steady venue for the homeless to conduct their personal matters, such as showering, meals, or staying in contact with family by mail, phone or internet. All business owners and Shakespeare are keenly aware that downtown Ashland cannot offer these services. The best way to manifest an exclusionary zone is to manifest an inclusionary zone that is more successful in addressing the needs of the homeless than the Plaza. Meeting that job description, the Grove offers showers, a kitchen, classroom space for activities such as chess and group counseling, as well as small rooms for social service intervention and counseling. Coupled with parking space for the La Clinica medical and dental van, a heated space for freezing nights, and the reassuring juxtaposition to the Police station, and less co-mingling of residential neighborhoods, The Grove becomes the ideal location. But only in as much as City Council is able to conceptualize that homelessness is an issue that falls under its purview and responsibility. The paucity of classes being conducted at the Grove can relocate to a host of other locations, at the same or even cheaper rental fees for its renters. The other portion of the equation— a location for a homeless camp— is also a simple solution that already exists within our grasp. My time is running out, and I will save this discussion to the next meeting. I implore City Council to embrace the homelessness issue as Ashland's own, identify a location away from the city center for the homeless to conduct their business and for Ashland to do it's business of rehabilitation and empowerment for the disenfranchised, and finally, to establish a homeless corridor that skirts around the city center and business community. A thorough and objective cost/ benefit analysis that takes into consideration the costs of porta-potties, policing, court time, staff time, and the threats to forest, water and land contamination, and the loss of homes and businesses to fire would argue in favor of the City Council taking a proactive stance in remedying this issue.

When other sections of the city want something they get together and set up a process to accomplish it...People wanted the YMCA...The Ski Area...Lithia Park...Shakespear Festival-Public Pools...on and on and on...Ashland is fantastic for making things happen... Now some of the more prominent business men in the Plaza and members of the homeless community want to do something for themselves and the City of Ashland. I do not have time in 5 minutes to discuss our plan in full so I am asking the Mayor to set up a meeting with us and invite the Police Chief, City Administrator, City Attorney and any members of the city council as you wish... to hear our concept for the City of Ashland. I and other business men of Ashland and a contingent of Homeless will attend the meeting and lay out our plan. In a nut shell some members of the for profit community and some members of the Homeless community want to have the homeless community be a part of Ashland. The intention is to be proactive and establish a community of Homeless that will enhance the city of Ashland as does a lot of other groups. We intend to set up a community that will help the elderly...enhance community spirit, help homeowners in need and work with the chamber of commerce to keep the unique spirit of Ashland alive and well... by turning this counter culture from a negative to a positive connotation. We want to maintain the uniqueness of Ashland. In other words the group of Homeless I have been talking to want to be a part of Ashland ..want to be law abiding citizens living in a kind of counter culture within the law in a manner that the other citizens of the city will respect and accept. We all want this to be an accepted way of life for people that want to be free to live in a manner they decide to live in ...all under the respect of the law ..just like every other citizen needs to live within. This group want the city to educate the citizens both counter culture and other citizens relating to the extent of the law dealing with what the counter culture can and can not do. The counter culture and the business community want, once the law is understood to have the city authorities prosecute the law as it does to the non counter culture citizens. When I do not follow the city building codes I am shut down...When I run a red light I get a ticket...no playing around...When a member of the counter culture does not follow the law he or she needs to be closed down. Ckitchenland r pls t start small...get a piece of land and build a residential dorm style shelter much like m s housing at SOU...sleeping for about 20 to 25 persons,bathrooms and toilet facilities, dinning meeting room. Styled as a true living community with some open space. The business community will consult and advise, but not dictate or run the facility. The-business community will take on the financing of the project. The business community will look to the city for land to either purchase and or lease. This will develop into a self supporting project. This first phase needs to be structured without demands to extend past the primary function of the dorm facility. We do not need a non profit running the community. The community will run itself with the help of attorneys, accountants and business advisers mental health specialists all to help consult and mentor... but not dictate. Please set up this meeting so this counter culture group can be a part of Ashland community in a positive way....Many other groups have their niche...Lets let this community live in the manner the way they want to under the law and for the betterment of all the citizens of Ashland as so many other groups do.

The Chamber is sponsoring a fund drive to purchase them. The City Public Works Department will install the boxes before Memorial Day. The boxes offer Ashland residents and visitors an alternative to handing cash to panhandlers. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul agreed to receive the funds to enhance their Ashland work in the prevention of homelessness and to help those who do not wish to remain homeless. A description copied from Rogue Valley District web site reads: The St.Vincent de Paul Society was founded in Paris, France in 1883 by a young law student, Frederic Ozanam, and several colleagues to help the poor and destitute of Paris.The society grew rapidly into an international volunteer movement to help the poor. By the year 2000, local chapters were operating in 130 countries, supported by over 900,000 members.Though the Society's name is recognized around the world, each council is locally organized,funded and staffed for the purpose of helping our neighbors in need. Our local council has no financial connection or obligations to any other organization,church or institution. We serve all who come regardless of race, creed or ethnic origin. (htto://www.stvincentdepaul.info/index.htm) The St. Vincent volunteers meet with referrals, assess their needs and motivation before making the appropriate referral. They follow up with clients to help them with any obstacles to progress. Please encourage your customers to donate via the boxes as an alternative to giving to those panhandling. Give a hand up, not a handout to those in need. Additionally,we are planning to have clear Lucite donation boxes available for your cash register area should you want them. Please contact us if you would like one. Contact Graham at Graham @ashlandchamber.com or S41-482-3486. Donations are deposited in a special account at People's Bank. People may donate via that account should they not wish to give through the boxes. We will be providing cards detailing the process in the near future.

In order to regulate competing uses of public forums, a city can require a permit and a fee before authorizing public speaking, parades, marches, rallies, or assemblies, including events involving expressive activity protected by the First Amendment, as long as certain court-established criteria are met. In general, restrictions on expressive activity in public forums must relate to time, place, and manner only. Any such restrictions must satisfy four fundamental criteria: (1) They must be narrowly tailored to serve substantial government interests; (2) They must leave ample alternative ways for such expressive activity to occur; (3) They must contain narrow, objective and definite standards to guide the licensing authority (that is, must avoid delegation of overly broad licensing discretion to a government official); and, most importantly, (4) Such restrictions must be either content-neutral or, if the restrictions do regulate content, they are subject to strict scrutiny and must both be necessary to serve a compelling governmental interest and be the least restrictive means for serving that interest. Forsyth County v. Nationalist Movement, 505 U.S. 123, 129- 30 (1992); Perry Educ. Ass'n v. Perry Local Educators'Ass'n, 460 U.S. 37 (1983); Foti v. City of Menlo Park, 146 F.3d 629, 636 (1991); Santa Monica Food Not Bombs v. City of Santa Monica, 450 F.3d 1022, 1056-57 (2006). Ashland's proposed Special Events policy is content-neutral: It applies to special events regardless of the ideas or views that may be expressed in the course of the event and, indeed, whether or not the event involves expressive activity at all. Therefore, the government interests Ashland's time,place and manner restrictions are designed to serve must be (1) unrelated to suppression of expression and (2)substantial, but need not be compelling, and the restrictions must be narrowly-tailored to serve those interests but need not be the least restrictive means for serving those interests. "Narrowly tailored"means "not substantially broader than necessary"to achieve the government's interest. Long Beach Area Peace Network v. City of Long Beach, 574 F.3d. 1011, 24 (2009). The criteria in paragraph 41 above entail many nuances. The nuances relevant to Ashland's proposed Special Events policy are addressed in the questions and answers below. CITY OF ASHLAND David H.Lohman,City Attomey Tel:541-088-5350 20 East Main Street Fax:541-552-2092 Ashland,OR 97520 TTY: 800-735-2900 lohmand @ashland.or.us 1. Is constitutionally-protected expression impermissibly burdened by the insurance prerequisite in Ashland's proposed Special Event policy? Answer: No. The insurance requirement is permissible because it is avoidable if the event takes advantage of the provision for rolling road closures or does not make exclusive use of a right-of-way at all -- if, for example, it utilizes the Lithia Park or the Plaza or the sidewalk (and complies with established pedestrian and traffic rules). Points and Authorities • Some courts have found parade insurance requirements to be overreaching. See cases cited in Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc. v. City of Long Beach, 14 Cal.App. 4th 312, 342 (1993). But the cases cited therein did not meet the four criteria outlined above, principally because the amount of the insurance premiums could vary with the content of the expression at the event. The court in Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc. explicitly notes that an insurance requirement could be designed so as to meet the four criteria. Id. at 342-3. • If the insurance requirement is content-neutral and event organizers have other alternatives that do not require insurance, the insurance requirement does not offend the First Amendment. Long Beach Area Peace Network 574 F.3d. at 1030-32 (2009); Santa Monica Food Not Bombs, 450 F.3d at 1056-57. • The proposed Ashland Special Events policy is content-neutral in that it applies to all events regardless of what might or might not be expressed during the event. Further, event organizers can avoid the insurance requirement altogether by utilizing a public forum that does not require exclusive use of public right-of-way or by taking advantage of the rolling road closure provision. 2. Is constitutionally-protected expression impermissibly burdened by the requirement for a hold harmless agreement in Ashland's proposed Special Event policy? Answer: No, provided the wording of the yet-to-be-written hold harmless agreement makes clear the scope is limited as prescribed in Long Beach Area Peace Network v. City of Long Beach and Santa Monica Food Not Bombs. Points and Authorities • In Santa Monica Food Not Bombs, the majority opinion upheld an ordinance provision conditioning issuance of the city's public space permit on signing a broad hold harmless agreement. 450 F.3d at 1056-57. In her opposition to the Santa Monica hold harmless agreement, the dissenting judge acknowledged a properly constructed hold harmless agreement could pass constitutional muster: "If this indemnification provision were limited to meritorious suits concerning permitees' actual activities, I would have no problem approving it." 450 F.3d at 1051. 2 CRY OF ASHLAND David H.Lohman,City Attomey Tel:541-088-5350 =, 20 East Main Street Fax:541-552-2092 Ashland,OR 97520 TTY: 800-735-2900 lohmand @ashland.or.us • The court in Long Beach Area Peace Network invalidated the City's special event permit hold harmless and indemnification agreement upon concluding that it was not sufficiently narrowly tailored to serve the City's interest. The court provided a template for a hold harmless agreement that could pass constitutional muster: It must(1) apply only to acts or omissions of the permittee and its officers, agents, or employees; (2) exclude losses caused by the City; and(3) exclude losses caused by reactions of third parties to the permittees' expressive activity or resulting from other activites at the event that are outside the control of the permitees. Long Beach Area Peace Network, 574 F.3d. at 1039-41. The court spoke approvingly of the particular agreement adopted by Santa Monica. • Upon Council approval of the Ashland Special Event policy, staff will draft a hold harmless agreement designed to incorporate the best features of the Santa Monica hold harmless provision and overcome the defects in the Long Beach indemnification and hold harmless agreement. 3. Does Ashland's proposed Special Event policy appropriately provide for spontaneous expression? Answer: Yes, provided the yet-to-be-written actual application or a change to the current draft policy makes clear the City will respond to appropriate permit requests for rolling road closures within three business days or less. Points and Authorities • A requirement for advance notice (a permit application) absent any obligation by the city to respond within a specified number of days is impermissible. Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc., 14 Ca1.App. 4th at 332. A permitting ordinance must provide for expression concerning fast-breaking events. Santa Monica Food Not Bombs, 450 F.3d at 1047. But special provisions for spontaneous events are obligatory only in places where there is no threat of disruption to the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Long Beach Area Peace Network, 574 F.3d. at 1038. • A very brief notice requirement that is otherwise limited and properly tailored in its application does not offend the First Amendment as long as reasonable alternatives for spontaneous expression are available. Santa Monica Food Not Bombs, 450 F.3d at 1047-48. Ordinances requiring fewer than three days advance notice have survived challenge. Id. at 1045. • Ashland's policy provides for expression concerning fast-breaking events in three ways: (1) Payment of a$250 "rush fee" can get a quick decision on a permit application; (2)The event can be designed to take advantage of the Rolling Road Closure provision, so as to obtain a rush decision without having to pay the Rush Fee; and (3) The venue for the event can be one that does not require a permit, such as Lithia Park or downtown sidewalks. 3 CITY OF ASHLAND David H.Lohman,City ANomey Tel:5414885350 �`, 20 East Main Street Fax:541-552-2092 Ashland,OR 97520 TTY: 800-735.2900 lohmand @ashland.or.us , • Withstanding constitutional challenge would be even more likely if the following sentence were added at the end of the currently-proposed provision on Rolling Road Closure: "The City will provide its response to a permit request for an expedited rolling road closure within three business days after submittal." 4. Is constitutionally-protected expression impermissibly burdened by the requirement for the permit fees in Ashland's proposed Special Event policy? Answer: No. Ashland's proposed special event fees meet the various court-developed criteria described below. Points and Authorities • The amount of a special event fee does not offend First Amendment rights because it is more than just nominal. Forsyth County, 505 U.S. 123 at 137; Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc., 14 Cal. App. 4th at 334. (The interpretation by several previous courts that more than merely nominal fees pose an impermissible obstacle to speech was laid to rest in Forsyth County case.) • The amount of a special event fee must be based on objective standards. Forsyth County, 505 U.S. 123 at 130. • A special event fee can be set at amount designed to recover part or all of actual cost for providing police protection and administrative services to facilitate safe conduct of an event. Id.; Cox v. New Hampshire, 312 U.S. 569, 571 (1941). But the fee cannot recover more than the extra costs exclusively attributable to the event, as distinguished from costs which are appropriately a general public responsibility and cannot recover more than such actual costs. Nemo v. City of Portland, 910 F. Supp 491, 497 (D. Or. 1995). • A special event fee can vary according to the likely actual costs of managing disruption of normal street use as a result of the event. Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc., 14 Cal.App. 4th at 334. • Special event fees cannot distinguish among applicants by charging different fees based on the information content of any messages intended to be or likely to be issued during the event or on the possible consequences of the issuance of such messages. Forsyth County, 505 U.S. 123 at 134. 5. Is Ashland's proposed Special Event policy constitutionally-required to provide for reduced fees for organizers with limited financial resources? Answer: No. Case law specifically addressing waivers for indigent event organizers is skimpy, as evidenced by the points and authorities below. But logical deduction from the principles outlined in 4 CRY OF ASHLAND =, David H.Lohman,City Atlomey Tel:541A88-5350 20 East Main Street Fax:541-552-2092 Ashland,OR 97520 TTY: 800-735-2900 lohmand@ashland.or.us the points and authorities in item#4 above strongly suggests such waivers are not constitutionally required. Points and Authorities • A special event fee cannot effectively preclude First Amendment activity by a particular group. However, if a cost-free public venue is available for reasonably effective exercise of First Amendment rights, a city should not be required to absorb the costs of providing the required city services for use of the different venue preferred by an event organizer. Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc., 14 CaLApp. 4th at 336-37."Refusal to fund protected activity, without more, cannot be equated with imposition of a `penalty' on that activity. Harris v. McCrae, 448 U.S. 297, 317, fn.19 (1980). • In one recent case, a federal district court in Oregon determined that failure to provide for waiver of the special event fee for poor or indigent persons was one of the reasons for its finding that Portland's permit policy for Pioneer Square was not narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest. Nemo v. City of Portland, 910 F. Supp. at 497-98. The absence of a waiver provision was one factor among several which led to the finding, and the case involved a fee for the non-exclusive use of park space which did not require disruption of normal street use and consequent need for extra traffic control services. Id. • No cases suggesting mandatory waiver of fees to cover actual costs of city services to accommodate an event's exclusive use of roadways have been found. • One recent case in California expressly rejected plaintiff's contention that"only a `nominal' fee, with a waiver for the truly indigent, can avoid the constitutional pitfall of posing an impermissible obstacle to speech." Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc., 14 CaLApp. 4th at 334. But'the court provided no analysis of the "waiver for indigents"portion of the proposition. • In Long Beach Area Peace Network, the court rejected plaintiffs' challenge that an indigent waiver provision allowed for unbridled discretion in the determination of indigent status. 574 F.3d at 1029- 30. The court's ruling did not provide any guidance on how to cure the problem of determining indigent status without impermissible exercise of discretion, and the case did not require a ruling on the whether a waiver for indigents is either required or allowed by the First Amendment. 6. Is it constitutionally permissible for Ashland's proposed Special Event policy to provide for disparate treatment of a Council-designated "community-wide" special event? Answer: Yes. The exception for the Fourth of July parade does not constitute content-based favoritism. This parade is a true community-wide event, with community-wide benefits and with no restrictions (except perhaps indecency restrictions) on views expressed or groups represented. 5 CRY OF ASHLAND David H.Lohman,City Attomey Tel:541488-5350 =, 20 East Main Street Fax:541-552-2092 Ashland,OR 97520 TTY: 8DO-735-2900 lohmand@ashland.or.us ,r Points and Authorities • Disparate treatment for events which are sponsored by the city and for which the city has paid the permit fees are permissible provided the city can show the events it sponors and for which it has paid the permit fees are reasonably related to its government function. Stonewall Union v. City of Columbus, 831 F.2d 1130, 1138 (6th Cir. 1991); Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc., 14 Cal. App. at 343. Using city funds to promote and facilitate events the city sponsors or otherwise encourages, for the benefit of the city is permissible as long as the funds are not used to disfavor or suppress one viewpoint in favor of another. Id. Departmental service charges are not discriminatorily applied if they are imposed on all, but in some cases paid by the city's treasury. Id. • In Stonewall Union, the court said, "[A]though plaintiffs have a First Amendment right to parade on behalf of gay and lesbian rights, they do not have a right to demand that the City sponsor that right by paying their parade permit fees because it sponsors other speech-related activities." 831 F.2d at 1138. • Withstanding constitutional challenge would be even more likely if the "Community-wide events" section of Ashland's draft Special Event policy made clear that that special event fees for the July 4th celebration were to read as follows—in order to demonstrate more clearly adherence to the guidance provided in case law: "The July 4h celebration is a community-wide event for which the permit fees are paid by the City. The City Council may, at its discretion, provide similar support for other community-wide special events. 6 CRY OF ASHLAND =, David H.Lohman,City Attorney Tel:541 488-5350 20 East Main Street Fax:541552-2092 Ashland,OR 97520 TTY: 800-735-2900 lohmand @ashland.or.us CITY OF ASHLAND Special Event Policy Overview Ashland values special events as a means of bringing people together to enrich lives and strengthen our community through the celebration of arts, sports, culture, commerce and more. A Special Event is an organized activity, such as a parade, race, street fair, athletic event etc. that requires the exclusive use of public right of ways or city-owned property including but not limited to sidewalks, streets, parking spaces, parking lots, alleys etc. and/or substantially impacts or impedes traffic flow. The City of Ashland regulates these types of events to ensure the safety of the event participants, spectators and the general public and to minimize inconvenience to the general public and disruption of public services. NOTE: This policy does not apply to neighborhood residential block parties. Purpose The purpose of this policy is clarify the use of the public right of way and city property for special events; to minimize City expenses associated with special events; to provide options and minimize expenses for special event coordinators; and to minimize safety risks to the event participants and the general public. Scope This policy applies to all persons requesting the use of any public right of way which has been determined by Police Department and or the Public Works department to require unimpeded access and controlled traffic for the safety of the event participants and general public. Use of City parks and facilities is subject to policies set forth by the Parks and Recreation Commission. Use of the Plaza requires a separate permit available at www.ashland.or.us/plazapermit. Community-wide events The July 4'h celebration is a significant and historical community-wide event. The City will absorb all City related expenses for this event. The City Council may add other events to this category at their discretion. Permit 1 Permits are required for all special events. Special Event Permits are available on line at www.ashland.or.us/specialevent. Note: Applicants requesting use of State Highway 99 (North Main, East Main through downtown, Lithia Way, Siskiyou Blvd.) and/or Highway 66 (Ashland Street) must secure a permit from the Oregon Department of Transportation, in addition to a permit from the City of Ashland. Applicants requesting use of East Main from Walker east to the city limits and/or Crowson Road must secure a permit from Jackson County. Siskiyou Blvd. between Gresham Street and Walker Street is under City jurisdiction. Fees All applicants pay an administrative fee of$130 when the application is submitted. If the application is not approved, or if the applicant withdraws the request, the City Administrator and/or staff designee will evaluate and subsequently determine if a refund if appropriate. 1) Events that do not require City staff overtime (determined by the City): City staff will review the route proposed in the permit application and determine the location of barricades, traffic safety cones and traffic control locations where an ODOT certified flagger can be used. The event coordinator is responsible for securing and placing barricades, cones and flaggers at each designated location at least 60 minutes in advance of the start of the event. The event cannot begin until authorized City personnel drive the route prior to the race to make sure barricades, cones and volunteers are in place and then informs the event organizer of approval. If event organizers are unable to secure the required number of ODOT certified flaggers and city staff must be used for traffic control,the applicant will pay 60% of actual cost for staff overtime. 2) Events that require City staff overtime (determined by the City) City staff will review the proposed route and determine how much City staff overtime will be needed. In addition to the base permit fee of$130, the event applicant will be charged 60% of actual costs. ODOT Certified Flaggers may not work at intersections or other locations where the City has determined there is significant risk. ODOT Certified FIaz ers The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) provides traffic flagger training. After completing the training, participants will be certified flaggers for two years. If using ODOT Certified Flaggers, the applicant must submit to the City a list of the volunteers who will work the event. If the applicant is unable to recruit the required number of ODOT Certified Flaggers, City staff will be assigned to work the event, if available, and the applicant will pay 60% of the overtime costs. The City cannot guarantee city staff will be available to work the event with less than 30 days notice from the date of the event.'If the applicant cannot secure the required number of certified flaggers and city staff is not available the event cannot proceed. 2 Meeting with City Staff After receiving the completed Special Event Permit, a meeting between City staff and the applicant will occur so both parties can review the proposed route and traffic management plan and are clear on the expectations, limitations and costs of the event. Pre-approved Routes The City has identified a number of different special event routes within Ashland, on both State and non-State Highways. The approximate resources and requirements associated with traffic control for each pre-approved route are available for event coordinators planning a special event. Event organizers are not required to use pre- approved routes. Rolling Road Closure Some special events on roadways with two or more lanes of traffic in each direction can be accommodated with a rolling road closure of one lane of traffic. A rolling road closure event is one that occurs during daylight hours, lasts 45 minutes or less, does not block intersections for more than 5 minutes and can be managed with on-duty city staff. These events are subject to the $130 base fee only and will not be charged a Rush Fee (see below). Permit approval is subject to staff availability. The City will respond to permit requests for a rolling road closure within three days of receiving the permit application. Application and Deadline The application for a special use permit is posted on the City's website at www.ashland.or.us/specialevent or can be obtained from the Public Works Department at 541=488-5587. Completed applications should be submitted to the Public Works Department no later than 90 days in advance of the event date. It can take up to three months for City Departments to coordinate traffic plans, police services, public work services and more. Applicants will be notified of permit approval at least 60 days after the application is submitted. Rush Fee: With the exception of rolling road closures, applicants for a special event permit who cannot meet the 90 day requirement will be charged a Rush Fee of$250 in addition to the base fee of$130 if the requisite City staff can be made available within the time frame requested. Otherwise the permit will be denied and the $250 will be refunded. Time Limit for Road Closure Roads will be closed for no longer than two hours. Event organizers should plan accordingly. Road closures,particularly in the downtown and business areas of the community, impact local businesses and can impede customer access. A maximum road closure of two hours ensures those businesses are not adversely impacted by the special event. 3 Exceptions to this rule include the July 4"' Celebration, Children's Halloween Parade and the Festival of Lights. The City Administrator may exempt future events who require a road closure for longer than two hours. Race Start Times The downtown area, particularly the Plaza, becomes extremely busy with pedestrians, vehicles, merchants, etc. For the safety of the general public and participants, races must start and clear the downtown area no later than 9:30 a.m. Neutral Start for Bicycle Races A neutral start is the preferred option and will be used until the event reaches a location predetermined by City staff. . A neutral start is used at the beginning of bicycle races to create a parade atmosphere as the event gets underway This controlled pace protects, riders, pedestrians and vehicles in highly congested traffic zones. City staff will determine at what point the neutral start ends and the racing begins. Special Event applicants may be denied future permits if racers pass the lead police vehicle. Notification of Businesses and Neighbors Event organizers are responsible for posting notification signs along the event route 24 hours in advance of the event. In addition, event organizers must notify businesses and homes along the route of the street closure, as well as cul-de-sac streets that intersect with the route, fourteen days in advance. At a minimum, the notification must include the date and length of time road will be closed. Public Works may require signatures to be collected indicating the property owners have been advised of the closure. Public Safety Safety of participants and the general public is the highest priority. The final decision on public safety requirements rests with the Ashland Police Department and Public Works. The Oregon Department of Transportation requires certified flaggers or police personnel at locations that require traffic control. ODOT Certified Flaggers may not work at intersections or other locations where the City has determined there is significant risk. Certificate of Insurance and Hold Harmless Agreement The City of Ashland requires a Certificate of Insurance in the amount of no less than one million ($1,000,000) dollars to protect the City against claims for personal injury or property damage that could that could occur because of the event. The certificate will name the City as an additional insured. A copy of the certificate must be submitted with the completed permit application. ODOT also requires a Certificate of Insurance if the event occurs on ODOT right of way. Events that can be accommodated with a rolling road closure are not required to secure a Certificate of Liability insurance. However the City strongly recommends the organizers secure liability insurance to protect themselves. If during the event a participant is 4 injured and seeks damages or if private or public property is damaged by a participant, the insurance provides protection for the event organizer. In addition, the City requires all applications to sign a hold harmless agreement (provided by the City) in order to receive a permit. The Special Event Permit covers the use of the sidewalk(s) or street(s). It is possible your event may need additional permits such as a noise permit or a Parks permit.

Approved: Date: Dave Kanner, City Administrator Reviewed as to form: Date: David Lohman, City Attorney 6 Barbara Christensen From: comment to thecouncil-bounces @list.ashland.or.us on behalf of Pam Vavra [pam @nv.net] Sent: Monday, April 02—, 2012 12:29 PM To: comment_to_the_counci1 @1ist.ashland.or.us Subject: Re: [Comment—to—the—council] Special Event Fee Policy 23 March 2012 Dear Mayor Stromberg and Council members, (cc: City Attorney) We, the undersigned, have read the revised Special Event Fee Policy as drafted by Staff and presented at your March 6 Study Session: http://www.ashland.or.us/Files/Spec%2@Event%2OPolicy%2@Atch.pdf. We understand you will be considering adoption of this policy at your upcoming meeting on April 3. We are writing because we are concerned that if passed as written, this policy could expose the City to constitutional challenges in at least these three areas: 1) The draft policy requires applicants to provide a certificate of $1M liability insurance. Courts have held that such a requirement is an unconstitutional prior restraint on free speech and right of assembly. 2) The draft policy exempts three specific annual parade events on July 4th, Halloween, and the Festival of Lights parade. This action, without providing clear and objective criteria by which a decision to exempt a particular event is made, risks a challenge of discrimination based on content and/or the identity of the applicant. 3) No provision is made for a fee waiver based on financial need of the applicant. Indigent applicants need to be given a mechanism for disclosing information regarding income and assets, and if they fall below some reasonable pre-determined bar, the fee should be waived in full or at least in part. We suggest that if he has not already done so, Mr. Lohman have a conversation with the City Attorney of Medford, Mr. Huttl. Before Ralph Temple passed away, he and Bill Mansfield, an attorney in Medford; worked closely with Mr. Huttl to correct constitutional defects in the Medford policies regarding marches and assemblies, some of which were very similar 'to items being proposed in the draft policy presented at your Study Session. Temple and Mansfield were working on behalf of the Oregon ACLU, which was called upon to represent several local groups including Peace House, Jackson County Pacific Green Party, Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice, Citizens for Peace and Justice, and Oregon Action, who felt their constitutional rights were being abridged by the Medford policies. Court cases pertinent to the discussions in Medford include: 1) Nemo V. City of Portland, 910 F. Supp 491 (D. Or. 1995) - invalidated fee for which court saw no good reason; individuals' speech rights in a public forum cannot be denied on the basis of inability to pay. 2) Forsyth County v. The Nationalist Movement, 505 US 123, 120 L.ed 2d 101 - cost of maintaining order cannot be passed on to those wishing to demonstrate in a public forum as a pre-condition of the granting of a permit; affirming Nationalist Movement v.. City of Cummings, 913 F.2d 885, 891 (11th Cir. 1990) - $1,000 permit fee unconstitutionally high 3) Long Beach Area Peace Network v. City of Long Beach 574 F. 3rd 1011 (9th Cir. 2009) 1 4) Santa Monica Food Not Bombs v. City of Santa Monica, 450 F. 3d 1022 (9th Cir. 2006) 5) Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride, Inc. V. City of Long Beach, 17 Cal Rptr 2nd 861 (2003) 6) Berger v. City of Seattle, 569 F. 3d 1029 (9th Cir. 2009) We hope this information is useful to you. We applaud your efforts toward crafting a uniform and comprehensive policy governing special events. Our only other suggestion is that the policy could be improved by specifically covering what are legally referred to as "expressive events" such as protest marches as a separate category. Thank you for this opportunity to provide comment. If you would please include this letter among the relevant testimony on this topic, we'd be grateful.
