November 19, 2019 A question arises periodically, and has arisen again recently, about when a member of the City Council should decline to participate and vote on an agenda item before Council. This memo is intended to provide clearer guidelines for Councilmembers to use in deciding how to answer that question in particular, necessarily fact -specific situations. This memo addresses guidelines for recusals in legislative decisions only. It is important to distinguish the guidelines that apply for recusals in quasi-judicial decisions on land use matters from the guidelines for legislative. decisions, especially since the two are easily confused. Short summary: In legislative decisions, recusals by public officials are to be based on potential or actual conflicts of interest; in judicial or quasi-judicial decisions, recusal by public officials are to be based on both conflicts of interest and potential personal bias. State ethics law concerning conflicts of interest (ORS 244.020) is stated concisely in this quote from a powerpoint presentation provided by the Oregon Government Ethics Commission: "Public officials should not be receiving any significant economic benefit by virtue of their position beyond what is available to the general public" (emphasis added). The City code of ethics says no public official shall "engage in any business or participate in any proposed or current City transaction, contract, purchase or sale... which would tend to impair independence of judgment or action in the performance of that public official's official duties without first disclosing such potential or actual incompatibility or impairment of independent judgment or action to the proper authority." AMC 3.08.020E. While the City code provision does refer to personal bias ("impairment of independent judgment"), it is apparently limited to bias resulting from economic benefits, as the statutory provision expressly does. When potential'personal economic benefits or detriments are in the picture, it is relatively easy for a Councilmember to figure out whether to declare a potential conflict and participate in deliberation and voting on a matter or whether to -decline to participate at all. - Pagel of 3 LEGAL DEPARTMENT 20 East Main Street Tel: 541A88-5350 david.lohman(a)ashland.or.us Ashland, Oregon 97520 Fax: 541552-2092 katdna.brrrvnt7o ashland.or.us, www.ashland.orus Tess odffNs(o)ashland.ocus ®� r It can be more difficult to decide how to proceed when personal economic issues are not involved at all in a legislative matter before the Council. If you have reached a fairly definitive, perhaps thoughtfully - researched conclusion, or have a preconceived notion, or even have a political philosophy that might well affect how you would vote on a particular agenda item coming before Council -- but have no financial stake in the outcome --should you nevertheless excuse yourself from participating with respect to that item? A non-profit national Institute for Local Government analyzed this question as follows: Institute for Local Government Everyday Ethics for Local Officials Deciding when Not to Participate in an Agency Decision December2002 What if there is no foreseeable material financial effect on your economic interests from a particular matter, and you are confident in your ability to make a fair and public -minded decision, but others are questioning your ability to do so? "As with many ethical dilemmas, this is an example of conflicting and important values." "One value is fulfilling your responsibility as an officeholder to make decisions —which, of course, is what your constituents elected you to do. Related to this value is the benefit of having as many decision -makers as possible participate in decisions to reflect the full range of community perspectives. "The other value is preserving the public's trust that the agency's actions are based on principles of fairness and what best promotes the publics interests— as opposed to decision -makers' self interests or those of their friends and family." "Adopting the approach of avoiding even the appearance of bias or impropriety may mean not participating in an important decision. Perhaps even more difficult is the fact that those who do participate may make what you consider to be the "wrong" decision, in terms of the long-term interests of the community, and one with which your constituents disagree. Some of your constituents may feel disappointed and angry if you step aside and let others make a decision with which they disagree." As suggested in the analysis above, the question of what to do becomes even more difficult to answer when one has been accused of prejudging an issue. The question becomes, "Should a Councilmember abstain or recuse oneself from voting on a matter because the Councilmember has already decided how he or she probably will vote or because someone has alleged that the Councilor has prejudged the matter, even when the Councilor has no financial conflict of interest and believes his or her views on the matter are based on the best interests of the community?" Four factors seem relevant to answering that question.

Persons holding elective legislative offices, including city councilors, are elected to exercise their judgment as to the best interests of their constituents. Their offices are inherently political, not judicial. Outside of land use cases and situations in which actual personal conflicts of economic interest are involved; holders of such political offices are not obligated to set aside their political values br their views of the long-term interests the constituents they serve. They are typically elected because they have well -considered political views and are willing to publicly articulate them and stand up for them. 2. If a Councilmember has reached a viewpoint on a particular matter in advance of the meeting at which it will be voted upon, stating that viewpoint ahead of time would aid transparency and provide useful advance notice to all concerned. Waiting until the meeting to reveal one's thinking is certainly acceptable, but certainly not required. Recusing oneself when you happen to have already developed a viewpoint negates the elective investment of those who voted for you to exercise your best judgment. 3. If having been accused of bias or of having prejudged a matter were relevant to a Councilmember's decision whether to refrain from participating in a decision about a controversial matter, unelected advocates for or against a particular decision could try to influence the outcome merely by making an accusation of bias against Councilors whose views they oppose. 4. Our code provides a pretty clear response to the question by (1) permitting a Councilmember to participate and vote on a matter after making an appropriate public disclosure even when he or she has concern that his or her independence of judgment might be compromised; and (2) requiring that "each Councilor present must vote for or against the motion unless a majority of the Council excuses that Councilor for doing so."

This involves a stretch of city owned ditch and piped sections totaling 12,165 feet. 7,160 feet is currently an open ditch in various states of repair of which only 23% is deemed poor while the remaining 77% is in fair to good condition. I want to draw your attention to the 5,005 feet of ditch that is already piped. Of the 86 properties listed in the Adkins Engineering Report, 21 of those properties abut a section of ditch that is already piped. This footage would also include street crossings as these will need to be dug up too. No photographs were included of these properties in the engineering report, yet these properties stand to be hit the hardest if this project moves forward. The constraints to be dealt with on these properties alone are: 87 trees, 4 fences, 6 driveways,13 raised beds, 4 sets of stairs, 2 retaining walls,1 decorative path, a carport, a sprinkler system,13 canal pipes,14 curb/gutters, I sidewalk, 9 water lines, 4 storm lines, 5 overhead power, 2 power transformers, 4 under ground power, 6 sewer lines, 3 under ground communication, gas lines,1 trash rack, and 10 "other" which includes mailboxes, water meters, storm grate and curb inlet. That's just for 21 properties! Several of these property owner's are also concerned about the loss of privacy due to the removal of their trees and mature landscaping. It can take years to regain that even if the city were to replace the plantings. Staff did note in the recently published "answers" that trees would not likely be replaced. The biggest constraint, in my opinion? Contractors will need to work within a narrow easement, 10 feet on center, and half of that easement is on an uphill slope. Are they planning on carving that away in order to have a full, flat 20 feet to work on? One neighbor behind me will certainly take notice when this new road comes right next to the corner of her master bedroom (photo attached). I mean right next to it as the corner of her house sits on the 10 foot mark. How will the disturbances of destruction and then construction affect the foundation of her home? In my opinion this is an incomplete project with too many unknowns and too many unanswered questions regarding the constraints that will have to be dealt with. Final engineering is not the time to decide these issues. We need a less impactful way to take care of this neglected ditch. Please consider FRC applied via shotcrete as a viable option and vote NO to piping.

But, let's first read the American Shotcrete Association's (www.shotcrete.org) statement of purpose. "The American Shotcrete Association (ASA),www.shotcrete.org is a non-profit organization of contractors, suppliers, manufacturers, designers, engineers, owners and others with a common interest in advancing the use of shotcrete. The ASA advocates for the recognition and safe application of the shotcrete process in concrete construction." Julie said, "The ASA sounds like the AMA, American Medical Association." I thought, The ASA site is a clearinghouse for information, regulation, certification, study, methods, and hundreds of answers to relevant questions. Listen caretuiiy. The ASA provides accurate answers just like the AMA, because it is their mission,"their job", And, if they don't act responsibly, buildings could fall, tunnels might collapse, canals could seep..... people could die. The ASA has high ethical standards, just like medical associations. Contractors all over the world use the ASA and trust the professional answers provided. THEY CANNOT FALL BACK ON THE "OPINION OF STAFF". They operate in the real world. The shotcrete method is a billion dollar industry used everywhere on earth ........ it works! At almost every turn, ASA's years of practical experience, research, and findings, COUNTER the narrative of Staff. That Julie and my use of information and answers from the ASA has been so easily cast aside by Staff, is certainly disrespectful of the ASA, and frankly a "diss" to a couple that have spent hundreds of hours trying to provide factual information to you, the Council. Recent answers to citizens after almost two months, to me, showed no indication of additional research. One more time: ,..What will always remain obvious is that a shotcreted canal can still be 77% fair -to -good after 50 years of neglect. Z. A "we'll figure it out later" project mentality with so many unknowns, and a simple proven method/solution in the wings, is pure folly. 3. Do you really think $3.5 million will get it done? Go read about the US F35 jet fighter boondoggle. 4. If Staff should prevail, it is my personal opinion that a precedent will be set from which you may never recover...and everyone will be watching. 5. Concrete is Concrete, no matter how is applied. Fiber reinforced shotcrete is superior to traditional methods. 6. If Public Works wants to remove the existing liner, why was it not removed before the application up at Starlight monitoring station? 7. With a simple additive shotcrete is totally waterproof. 8. If greenhouse gases from concrete manufacture are such an issue, perhaps City should forgo sidewalks, foundations, and curbs. Need I mention the $35 million dollar water treatment plant for the "growing" Ashland population. Concrete absorbs 43% of the CO2 created in its production, and the industry is working towards a negative carbon footprint. You folks have a decision to make tonight. With All Due Respect, William Shanor ......Out Council Meeting, November 19 Issue: Piping the Ashland Canal Let's see where we are after nine months of meetings and conversations. First, over time at least 1,000 residents have signed petitions, attended council meetings, and spoken or written about why the city should not pipe the Ashland canal. This is much more than a NIMBY issue; it is about our community's shared asset —the open, Ashland canal. Second, the city's project is to pipe two miles of the canal to save water and to eliminate Ecoli from the canal. The cost will be at least $5 million given that the engineers four existing constraints were not solved nor were the 31 areas of ecological concern addressed fully in the budget or planning. Of course, the city presents a final estimate of costs only with the final engineering report. Third, the loss due to piping is significant. Three hundred trees, ecosystems and fauna along the century old canal will be destroyed. In addition to this, property owners will see major construction changes in their yards, along with structural property changes to their homes due to the piping. The quaint path along the canal will become an access road with little or no shade for those two miles according to the documents on the city's website. The canopy will be destroyed. Fourth, there is an alternative to this destruction. It is the use of the canal liner shotcrete on steroids that prevents water loss. Shotcrete stops the seepage at one fourth the cost or $1 million. Maintenance on a shotcrete canal isn't required for at least 25 years when the cost will be somewhere around $100,000 per mile according to Robinson Concrete Pumping. This alternative stops the seepage of TID raw water. Destruction of a century old environment is avoided with shotcrete as well as avoiding the serious disruption of 100 families along the canal. Finally, Ecoli is not an issue; we have to learn to live Ecoli with or without a pipe. The 1.2% evaporation loss of raw water provides a humidity barrier for the canal trees and for the water shed just beyond it. We'll have a trail with a canopy not a service road along the canal. Therefore, vote no for piping and take up the citizens alternative of shotcrete. A community shared asset — the open Ashland canal - is at stake. Remember who you represent and serve, the people of Ashland. Dr. Carol Voisin, Ashland November 19, 2019 National Alliance on Mental Illness Southern Oregon (NAMI SO) Position Regarding Jackson County New Jail Proposal My name is Caren Caldwell. I live in Ashland. I am a member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, aka NAMI. Along with a modern jail facility, the population of our county needs a 24/7 mental health crisis center. We also need an expanded mobile crisis team. Both of these programs are used elsewhere in the state and are far less expensive than jail. They serve effectively as alternatives to arresting people simply because they are exhibiting symptoms of mental illness. I am asking this Council to please vote on the resolution to join the jail service district only after you have a commitment from the County Commission to fund these services. You have time to postpone tonight's vote. The County Commission won't vote on the jail until Feb. 5. Members of Southern Oregon NAMI have participated in every public meeting the Sheriff has held since you voted against the new jail in May. Many times we have asked for some information, some guarantee, some assurance that mental health services will actually be provided in a bigger jail. We have received no such commitment or documentation. That's why NAMI is holding out for some specific evidence that we can count on this County to provide those services within the county budget. We need evidence that funding will be provided for diversion and recovery services as well as in-iail services. The Sheriff cannot provide that evidence because he only administers the jail budget. The evidence must come in the form of decisions by the County Commissioners who hold the purse strings. We are urging you to use your influence well. If you vote yes tonight on the resolution, you lose your edge to make a difference. Please wait until you have a commitment for human services funding from the County. The National Alliance on Mental Illness Southern Oregon Steering Committee Re: Proposed Jail Levy and Special District As you may remember, the National Alliance on Mental Illness came before you earlier and explained our goals around the intersection between MH and LE. With those goals in mind, we made some requests of the County, in order to make us comfortable with supporting the proposed new jail levy. We asked for: A comprehensive diversion program; some budget guarantees for MH services in the new jail; a transition center; and flexibility to allow any excess moneys to be used for diversion or Community Justice, The County's response was that the way this proposal is designed as a Special District makes all these requests illegal. ' Finally, we also requested an elected Board to oversee the Jail's Special District. Not only is that legal, but we use elected boards to oversee Libraries, Education. Sewers. However, the County does not have to set up an elected board for the jail levy. It appears they do not intend to. We hope they will reconsider. For the record, we do not expect any single levy to solve all MH problems; we would have been satisfied if the County Office had reached out and said "We can't use this bucket of money over here for these Ideas, but let's meet up and discuss what we can do..." We will meet that offer enthusiastically and will put our own time and energies into making successful. There have been some individuals, including Sheriff Sickler and Eric Guyer, who have already reached out to address MH concerns, and they are definitely acknowledged and applauded. We expect we will continue working together, hopefully with the support of the County and our whole community. We know that diversion (including a 24/7 psychiatric crisis center) will save suffering and money. recent presentations from Eugene and Marion County quoted financial savings of $15.5 Million and decreased bookings of 20-25%, respectively. An initial upfront investment will create a system that can pay for Itself] If this proposal goes through for a vote in May, we know that our many members — and the many non- members who have been affected by mental illness —will all be closely watching to see if the County will step up and join us to ensure Treatment before Tragedy. --------- Forwarded message -------- From: Nathaniel Sickler <SlckleNJCa�lacksonc ntV.org> Date: Fri, Nov 15, 2019 at 2:23 PM Subject: Fwd: Jail construction costs vs. operating costs? To: Tonya Graham <tonya aC)council.ashland.or.us>, Meesha Blair <meesha(ZDscottsrocks. com> This is the spread sheet for costs. If you look at the cost increases for Medical it is likely we will always have a ample budget to run our desired programs. While I cannot predict the future, I think we will be okay. Please look at the Materials and service -section near the top for a detailed projection. The below text was a response to a media inquiry. Let me know if this helps. - Please remember these are projections - looking 20 years out - and adjusting for factors that may or may not be in our control. It makes assumptions that may -of -may not be exact. With that said, I think the projections are valid given everything we know and can assume at this point. Here is how to interpret the spread sheet I've attached. Total cost of constructing the new jail is $60 million general fund reserves, $6.6 million for land and $ 3 onded construction cost (which will be paid by the district) for a tota 0.9. Total bond payments are indicated in column X row 41 on the attached worksheet in the amount.of $138,274,580 ( combination of principal and interest payments over time). Toil district support (new taxes) for ppeia inn and is would. be the sum of row 43 from —columns o V for the first 20 years o 514,0 2,038: The same total as row 66 Columns C to V ( taxes collected). Total projected continued general fund support for the jail operations would be the sum of'row 36 columns.0 to V for the first 20 years or $241,798,994. a ration expenditures for the 20 years is the sum of row 32 columns C to V or $713,861,93 Total budget would be the comb' ati ro 32 "Totallu Ex ' es" os row 41 or, b nd pay_ me s which equals 4C852f36 As you can see in row 66 taxes collected for the district would be about $18,177,080 in the first year. You will also notice that the last year the project is spending about $6.1 million (reserves row 70 column V) more than it is collecting: The last bond payment is due that year (Row 45 column V) so it falls off in year 21 and the revenue used to pay down the bonds will go toward operations and the budget will be balanced.

Hi Danny, Looking at the numbers again, I thought the majority of the roughly $170 million overall cost was actually to cover the increased cost of operations. Are you saying just building the physical jail (including land, permits, etc.) would cost that much? I thought the idea of the service district was to fold in construction costs plus increased operating costs and bundle that together in an easy to understand package for voters. Adding on another $15.5 million per year in additional operating expenses would put the additional operating costs at roughly $309 million over 20 years if the costs stayed the same annually. The overall construction and operating costs of a new jail would be roughly $479.6 million over 20 years. - Vickie On Mon, Nov 4, 2019 at 1:37 PM Danny Jordan <JordanDLCaDlacksoncountV.orcl> wrote: Hi Vickie, The cost of constructing a new jail based on the latest projections, including soft costs, is $164,265,515. Soft cost are items such as architects, permits, development fees etc.. In addition the County has spent $6.5 million to purchase 47.07 acres of land on the East side of the airport for the new facility. It's hard to show an actual operating budget comparison since the new jail doesn't yet exist and . wouldn't be open for a few years after the district is formed and the service model will change to provide more service to those with physical health, and addictions and mental health issues. The jail's current operating budget for FY 19-20 is $13,516,972, with approximately 80 fulltime equivalent (FTE) employees housing approximately 300 prisoners. The newjail's operating budget is projected to be $29 million when it opens in FY 24-25, with approximately 105 FTE housing approximately 800 prisoners.

That's state law about county service districts, defined in the ORS's. So the whole mental health and substance abuse treatment angle becomes a false flag. • http://iacksoncountyor.org/sheriff/Jail/New-Jail-Project Without Ashland becoming a member of the new county police service district, the jail can't be built. The revenue from Ashland's property taxes is the foundation for the jail. Don't give us a "false" vote because the rest of the county can vote for the jail and we still have to pay for it even if 90% of Ashland doesn't want it. It is a county -wide vote that determines the funding for the jail and Ashland pays the lions 1 share of it. ``�&Ek-, � Let's work on funding more diversion programs( d set upr mental health clinics and services that can significantly reduce the population in ot�ail.
