CITY OF kSHLAND Council Communication Title: Lithia Springs Property Dept: Administration Date: February 18, 2003 Submitted By: Brian Almquist, Interim City Administr Synopsis: Late last year, staff was directed to provide additional information to determine whether there are any impediments to offering all or part cf the Lithia Springs property for sale. The specific requests were to: 1. Look into the terms of the lease with the Ashland Park & Recreation Commission and the sublease with the Ashland Gun Club, to determine whether either lease can be canceled before its expiration in 2009 without legal problems; 2. Determine how much of the property would need to be retained to protect the wells comprising Lithia Springs and other historic structures; and, 3. Investigate the environmental effects, if any, of lead accumulation on the property leased to the Ashland Gun Club. Background: The Lithia Springs property was acquired around 1914 when the people of Ashland passed a $225,000 bond issue to pipe the water to town. Initially, it was piped to Lithia Park, the railroad station, Camegie Library, the Plaza, and several hotels. About this same time, a local firm received permission to bottle the Lithia water and sold it as "table water" as far north as Portland. During the 1950s, another company manufactured dry ice from the excess CO2, and sold it to fruit and produce shippers on the west coast. There are a number of wells scattered around the property, since after many years of pumping the Lithia water tums fresh and a new well must be drilled. Beginning in 1936, the City Council leased the land to the Ashland Park Commission for recreational use. Over the years several activities have occurred there including archery, go-carts, motocross, and more recently, by the Ashland Gun Club. The current lease between the City and the Parks & Recreation Commission, and a sublease to the Ashland Gun Club, runs through 2009, and both have no provision for cancellation at an earlier date. The following is in response to the three questions asked of staff by the City Council: 1. _Le~.at-Bamers: The Ashland Parks & Recreation Commission has subleased the ProPerty to the :: Ashland Gun Club through May 30, 2009 in order to allow the club to amortize the substantial improvements they have made to the site including concrete bunkers, targets, target shields, a club building, parking lot, etc. If the lease were terminated prior to that date, I would expect that the Gun Club could demand a capital reimbursement, plus damages, for the remainder of the 15-year lease. 2. Protection of the Wells: This question is more complex, in that wells have been drilled on various parts of the property. Any encroachment by new homes would probably require septic tanks and drain fields, in addition to new fresh water wells for water supply. Either would threaten both water quality and quantity of the Lithia source. There is also a question of what effect sales of part of the land would have on the historic values on the property. Native Americans are known to have camped near the springs which were thought to have medicinal properties, before the arrival of the settlers around 1850. 3. Lead Accumulations: A number of years ago, the Gun Club installed concrete bunkers so that the lead accumulation would be contained and reclaimed. As a result, I do not believe this a problem with the site. In order to be absolutely certain, we would need to employ an environmental consultant to do a complete site analysis. I believe the results would not show lead contamination, and would be very costly. Recommendation: It is recommended that due to the legal barriers, Lithia water quality issues, and the historic nature of the property, that this property be retained in public ownership for the foreseeable future. Fiscal Impact: Should the City Council decide to sell the property, staff is unable to access the possible claim for damages resulting from an early termination of the lease with the Ashland Gun Club. In addition, it is estimated the cost of an environmental consultant would be about $3,000.

A modification to uses in the E-1 zoning district in 1998 inadvertently excluded theaters as a use. This modification would allow theaters as a conditional use. This action was initiated by the Planning Commission by majority vote on November 25, 2002. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this ordinance amendment on January 14, 2003 at which time they unanimously recommended adoption by the City Council. Staff recommends that the Council adopt the ordinance as proposed. There are some theater groups in the community that are waiting for this amendment to become effective in order to apply for conditional use permits to allow for performances in the coming season. Time has been raised as a key factor by these groups. The Council may wish to consider approving first and second reading of this ordinance at this meeting, and declaring an emergency to allow the ordinance to become effective immediately. The ordinance as presented allows for this. If the Council chooses not to declare an emergency, this section may be removed. None. The ordinance, staff report, and minutes of the Planning Commission meeting are attached. ORDINANCE NO. _ AN ORDINANCE MODIFYING CHAPTER 18.40 OF THE ASHLAND MUNICIPAL CODE, LAND USE ORDINANCE, ALLOWING THEATERS AND SIMILAR ENTERTAINMENT USES AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE E-1 ZONE THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF ASHLAND DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 18.40.030.N- _Conditional Uses_ is added to the Ashland Municipal Code and shall read: 1. "N. Theaters (excluding drive-in) and similar entertainment uses." SECTION 2. Declaration of Emergency. The council finding that it is ne~ssary for the public peace, health, safety and general welfare, an emergency is hereby declared and this ordinance shall become effective immediately upon its passage by the Council and approval by the Mayor. The foregoing ordinance was first read by title only in accordance with Article X, Section 2(C) of the City Charter on the _ day of _, 2003, and duly PASSED and ADOPTED this __ day of _, 2003. Barbara M. Chdstensen, City Recorde, SIGNED and APPROVED this ~ day of _ _,2003. Alan W. DeBoer, Mayor Reviewed as to form: Paul Nolte, City Attorney ASHLAND PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT January 14, 2003 PLANNING ACTION: 2002-135 APPLICANT: City of Ashland ORDINANCE REFERENCE: 18.40 - Employment Zone (E-1 ) REQUEST: Modification of Chapter 18.40 of the Land Use Ordinance, allowing theaters and similar entertainment uses as a conditional use. I. Relevant Facts Background - History of Application: The City of Ashland's E-1 zone is designed to aeco~odate a wide variety of uses, from retail commercial to light industrial. The mix of uses allowed has made this zone very successful for new and different businesses. However, since several E-1 zoned areas are in close proximity to residential zones, some uses that may impact those areas have been changed to conditional uses. In 1998, the City modifed the permitted use of "eating, drinking, entertainment and dancing establishments" to a pcmfitted use of "restaurants" and a conditional use of"nightclubs and bars." However, reference to entertainment and dancing establishments was inadvertently left out of the amendments. The recent request regarding the A Street Marketplace Pavilion illustrated the difficulty associated with applying the "nightclub and bars" definition to an entertainment venue. In order to address this, this modification has been proposed. This action was initiated by majority vote of the Planning Commission at the meeting on November 26, 2002. Proposed Ordinance: SECTION 1. Section 18.40.030.N. Conditional Use_ __ s is added to the Ashland Municipal Code and shall read: "N. Theaters (excluding drive-in) and similar entertainment uses." Planning Application 2002-135 Ashland Planning Department Staff Report Applicant: City of Ashland Page 1 II. III. IV. Ashland is a community that is well known for its entertainment and theaters. While the majority of those uses are located within commercial zones (C-I) there are opportunities for additional uses to be appropriately located within the E-1 zone. It is Staff's opinion that the addition of"theaters (excluding drive-in) and similar entertainment uses" as a conditional use in the E-1 zone will further the community's efforts at providing a successful and lively arts scene. The conditional use permit process will also ensure that the level of review for such uses is appropriate given the surrounding uses. Procedural - Required Burden of Proof An ordinance amendment such as this is a Legislative Amendment subject to section 18.108.170 of the Land Use Ordinance, which states: "It may be necessary from time to time to amend the text of the Land Use Ordinance or make other legislative amendments in order to conform with the comprehensive plan or to meet other changes in circumstances and conditions. A legislative amendment is a legislative act solely within the authority of the Council." Conclusions and Recommendations. Staff recommends that Planning Commission recommend adoption of the amendments to the E-lzone allowing theaters and similar entertainment uses as a conditional use. It is our belief that the additional review associated with conditional use permits will ensure greater compatibility and reduce potential negative impacts of such uses. Planning Application 2002-135 Ashland Planning Department StaffReport A~icant: City__of Ashland Fire Department. Medinger said the ditch can handle the water. The land seems to be level, but the grade is pretty steep. They have a nice separation for parking Widerneath the building. They are tight on impervious surfaces and are motivated to keep as much green space for the seniors as possible. The engineers are recommending a large drainline. It allows the pipe to take some capacity and let it out at a slower rate. There is no room to have an above-surface surge protection. Medinger said with regard to the variances, he thinks it is like a subdivision. It is a piece ofland with varying uses and they putting parts of the uses in various places. They need to have the complex compact so the seniors can be together. He said the building has an east/west orientation with a lot of nice windows opening to the sun. There are skylights for daylighting in the upper floor. The pedestrian path is a good way for seniors to reach the bus access located diagonally across the park. Swales wants to make sure in the future since these would be two separate tax lots, that the ramifications have been fully thought through. Medinger said it would not be profitable for anyone to build only four units. JENNIFER HENDERSON, 321 Clay Street, said she is active with the Jackson County Housing Coalition. This proposal is an exciting possibility for improving the lack of affordable housing in Ashland. It addresses OOill, affordable housing in perpetuity for 51 years, and the faith based community being in partnership with the city. Chapman had a written question from Elizabeth Cross. Were traffic studies done for this area of Clay Street between Siskiyou and 'Ashland Streets? Will 20 new units change the livability of the neighborhood? Chapman answered that Clay Street is on the schedule for an upgrade. Medinger said this project would have a lot less traffic impact than if were developed as an R-I-5 subdivision. This is a population that does not drive or drives very seldom. The number of caregivers is light because the seniors are still living independently. Molnar said no traffic study has been done. There is ample capacity for additional trips on the street The biggest concern is the lack of pedestrian facilities. The Commission could require the applicant to do the front{lge improvements now. Staff would like to look at the entire section from Siskiyou to Ashland Street as one overall design and ha\.e the applicant put the monies aside in anticipation of forming a LID. Rebuttal - None Staff Response - None COMMISSIONERS' DISCUSSION AND MOTION Fields believes this is a great project and good the churches are stepping forward to do this type of development. Fields moved to approve P A2002-062 and Swales seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Briggs would like to see Staff prepare a plaque for this project and let the commissioners sign it It is a project we can be proud of. There was some discussion as to whether or not the Commissioners wanted to postpone any of the Type III actions. Mclaughlin explained that we usually to the Type II planning actioDS first because by state law we are under a limit of 120 days to make those decisions. The ordinance amendments are more flexible. PLANNING ACTION 2002-135 REQUEST FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE EMPLOYMENT (E-1) CHAPTER 18.40 OF THE ASHLAND MUNICIPAL CODE (LAND USE ORDINANCE) ADDING THEATERS AS A CONDmONAL USE. APPLICANT: CITY OF ASHLAND ASHLAND PlANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 14, 2003 7 '.......,. McLaughlin said this is a pretty straightforward modification of the ordinance. In contrast to what Mr. Lang raised in his comments about changes happening to benefit those with money or others, most changes occur for the benefit of the community. In 1998, the ordinance was modified where nightclubs, drinking and entertainment establishments were outright permitted uses in the E-I zone with a potential to occur next to residential property. The ordinance was amended to limit those conditional uses to ensure they were put in proper locations. That amendment was not done for the benefit of developers or wealthy property owners, but for the benefit of the community. Inadvertently, entertainment establishments were left out of that ~endment. Our local theater scene has been impacted by not having a process allowing theaters even as a conditional use or a permitted use within the E-l zone. Here is an opportunity go back and look at this and correct a situation. It was noted at the study session that this is seen as a benefit to the town and economy and a benefit to the overa11livability of Ashland. What is proposed is that theaters, excluding drive-ins, and similar entertainment uses are written back into the ordinance as a conditional use. It is not outright permitted, so if there are concerns about the size of theater, parking, hours of operation, proximity to residential zones, these can all be addressed to ensure that under the proper conditions, a theater would be allowed in the E-l zone. Staff is recommending approval of the amendment. JUSTIN LOCKWOOD, 506 Newtown, Medford, OR, 97501 NICOLE LOCKWOOD-HILL, same address J. Lockwood said they would like to open a very small, modest 35-seat theater in the former Cantwell's building. They want to be able to at least apply. It seems like everyone would benefit N. Lockwood-Hill said they operate Art Attack Theater. They saw an opportunity at 310 Oak Street to be cIoserto the center of town and in a more visible location with parking. Chapman reiterated Lockwood's remark that passage of this ordinance would at least allow them to apply. PHIUP LANG, 758 B Street, agrees that we make rules to benefit the community. The B-1 zone was exactly for the best needs of the community. The obfuscation around this issue has been very impressive and the propaganda has been furious. This all started because the owner of the A Street Marketplace wants ~ have a theater or wants to have a nightclub or anything he chooses. This is another example of violating the rules and then re-writing them. The reasons the Council voted to not allow theaters in E-I zone are stated as part of the record ofPA2oo2-094. There is a compromise solution. There are really two E-l zones. The first B-IA (Hersey Street area) is an industrial/commercial area and could have theaters as conditional use or even as an allowed use. The second B-lB zone would not allow theaters because of the R -2 overlay and location in the historic residential district, the lack of access, narrow streets and all the quality of life issues. It is not to the benefit of the community, it is to the benefit of the developer. That won't solve the problem of the A Street Marketplace that started this problem in the first place. KenCaim asked Lang if A Street Marketplace had not been an application, does Lang oppose the night life that is there and the theaters that sometimes have small poetry readings and plays and other things that happen on A? She said Newandart has plays. Is that not a theater? Lang said it is not an "official" theater with 1000 people. He said he owns a residential property across the street from the E-I zone with an R-2 overlay. He thinks it inappropriate to have a "formal" theater of the kind OSF has. KenCairn asked how big would be okay? Lang said they can talk about it He would trust KenCairn's judgment and discussion. If they are willing to discuss reasonable limitations, then that's frne. KenCairn said they can limit the use with a conditional use. Lang doesn't trust that kind of "can do". Gardiner thought it sounded like the E-IA zone is where Philip Lang lives and bas property and the E-IB zone is where other people work and have property. There are residences on Hersey street. Lang said the area where Art Attack was on Hersey Street is not the same as an historical, traditional, quiet residential neighborhood that requires peace and quiet at 11:00 p.rn. Chapman doesn't remember the peace and quiet on Oak Street. Lang said whatever banging and clanging went on at Oak: Street Tank and Steel went on during working hours, not 9 to II at night. He loved the break and lunch whistles. They didn't disturb anyone. Chapman still goes back to at least letting people apply. They can apply conditions to address the concerns of the neighbors. Lang believes there needs to be an outside fixed limit. ASHLAND PlANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 14, 2003 8 ',.... i Swales believes Lang is making a distinction between the B-1 zone with the residential overlay and E-l zones where it is purely employment uses. It is important to look at this carefully. ERIC NAVICKAS, 711 Faith Avenue, said his largest concern relates to the railroad property. Theater is a broad term that includes cinemaplexes. Would that be appropriate to our community? Perhaps cinemaplexes should be excluded considering the railroad property . KenCairn told Navickas if seating is limited, that would also prevent a cinemaplex from being developed. MARY ANN STRONG, 191 Orange Avenue, does not believe the Planning Commission has time to look at all the possibilities and make a decision tonight. Fields said there is a bunch of people doing theater illegally and because it has been brought before us, there is a timeline. Is the community willing to give this body the authority to allow someone to come forward and ask for special permission to have a theater? Should we rein this in and make it a big ordinance or should we just modify this one that that allows bars conditionally but excludes theaters? Weare trying to do a quick remedy for a decision the Council made. KenCairn explained to Strong that this item has been talked about it before. StatIwent away with those discussions and came up with a proposed ordinance. Knox noted that all the legislative items on the agenda have been discussed at study sessions before and in some cases two or three times. Swales said it seems there is all of a sudden this rush to bring these things into compliance. There are other avenues. Thompson said some areas could be rezoned to allow for theaters. When theaters were taken out and the Council had discussion, Councilor Reid was the only dissenting vote because she was concerned the neighbors had not been properly notified. He believes that giving a blanket conditional use for the whole B-1 zone, including those with a residential overlay are probably bigger than what we are considering with this simple change. KenCairn said a blanket conditional use means a blanket opportunity to have to prove to us that it is a good thing to have happen. So it is not a blanket anything. It is an opportunity to present a project. It doesn't mean we have to say ''yes''. Morris said if the zoning is changed to commercial, they can do anything in commercial that is penDitted. KenCairn said then we would have no control over what happens. . McLaughlin wondered if Swales is opposed to the use of the theater. What are the impacts? If it is noise, parking and traffic and those are addressed, what other issues are of concern? lbat is the reason for a conditional use. If there are other issues, those can be raised and addressed. What are the other issues that would make you not want a theater at all? Swales said he is not opposed to theater, but a blanket theater use can cover a huge range of sizes and different types of theater. He thinks there should be more restrictions on where it would go and whether it is residential. Kistler said that the way it is now. no one can even ask to operate. Swales believes there should be more restrictions that just the conditional use. ' Fields would not support re-zoning. McLaughlin explained that the R-overlay in the B-1 zone is to encourage mixed use and have people living within these environments and baving 24-hour eyes. It adds to the vitality of the area. The primary purpose of the B-1 zone is commercial, not residential. People are moving into a known commercial environment. It is going to be noisier. But there are benefits to that as well. You can walk to those uses or shop nearby. Your job might be right there. The residential is secondary to the E-1. Mclaughlin's concern is that if we get to the point where we are trying to protect the residential so much that we start restricting the uses that are allowed, then we will stop the job creation part that is the purpose of the E-l zone in the first place. We have to be careful if we allow too much respect for the residential portion. Gardiner said he could see a swing shift causing as much impact as a 50-seat theater. Chapman has no problem with people applying. ASHLAND PLANNING COMMISSION REGUlAR MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 14. 2003 9 ,....., Briggs wondered what would happen if someone wanted to put in a cinemaplex. What grounds would we have to deny it? Mclaughlin said they would look at scale, compatibility, traffic impacts, parking, etc. The whole idea of a conditional use is that you have far greater discretion than anywhere else. Gardiner moved to recommend moving this ordinance forward to the City Council. Chapman seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. PlANNING ACTION 2002-086 , REQUEST FOR AN ORDINANCE MODlFYlNG CHAPTER 18.108 AND 18.106 OF THE ASHlAND MUNICIPAL CODE (LAND USE ORDINANCE) REGARDING APPROVAL STANDARDS FOR ZONE CHANGES AND ANNEXATIONS. APPUCANT: CITY OF ASHLAND STAFF REPORT Molnar said this revision started over a year ago with the Housing Commission trying to address affordable housing through zone changes and to some degree annexations. We already require affordable housing in annexations. The changes to the annexation ordinance are to keep it consistent with whatever standards the community decides upon. Molnar said this is the fourth public meeting on this ordinance change. 1here were some concerns at the August meeting by some Ashland developers (Greene and Dale) primarily regarding the changes to the annexation affordability requirements. At the conclusion of that meeting, they agreed to have a meeting with the Greene and Dale. At this time, they have not provided Staff with any further information. Zone changes are more subjective than other applications we review. The approval body "may" approve it. It doesn't say "shall". 1he purpose of the ordinance was to provide a basis to approve a zone change based on a formidable commitment by the applicant to produce affordable housing and guarantee that affordable housing for a period of time. A lot of this came about because of an application to re-zone the Croman mill site from Industrial to different residential zoning districts and E-l. One of the primary reasons the applicant was arguing for a re-zone was to meet a public need for affordable housing. As they got into the application and defined what levels of affordability and what guarantees they would make, that is when the application began to be much more vague. It finally got down to where the applicants were going to comply with the same affordability levels that are in the current ordinance for projects within the city limits. Zone changes and annexations, by their nature, are voluntary acts a property owner is taking. He/she is coming to the city to ask for the rules to be changed on their property to allow either a more intense use than what is allowed for or a greater density than what is allowed. 1he feeling was, that as part of annexations and zone changes, the affordability requirement should be much more stringent to acknowledge the imparting of value on that property. And, the affordable units should be guaranteed to be in the program a certain number of years. Molnar said they removed the density bonus provision in zone changes. 1heyadded some additional subsections for complying with affordable housing requirements. They increased the number of units required. The term of affordability through a restrictive covenant would be for 60 years. If the applicant was not interested in building affordable units, there is an option that an area in the project or an amount of land in the project equal to the area needed to build those units would be transferred to a non-profit affordable housing developer. Those organizations would produce the affordable housing with the restrictive covenants. Molnar explained the hypothetical example in the packet. Gardiner wondered if it is possible to combine scenarios. Molnar said that has been discussed, however, they are trying to keep it simple. KenCairn asked about the quality of the lower income housing. Molnar said there is some language that they be constructed of similar quality. McLaughlin said the whole development would be affected by what is built for affordable housing. Molnar said they would be subject to the city's Site DesignStandards. PHIUP LANG, 758 B Street, believes this ordinance will not provide affordable housing. How many were developed with Systems Development Charge (SDC) abatement/density? This amendment will not produce any affordable or even moderate priced ASHlAND PLANNING COMMISSION 10 REGUlAR MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 14, 2003 r CITY OF SHLAND Council Communication TITLE: Report on Proposed Increase to Food & Beverage Tax to Fund Parks Open Space and Trails DEPT: Finance Department DATE: February 18, 2003 SUBMITTED BY: Lee Tuneberg, Finance Director APPROVED BY: Brian Almquist, Interim City Administrato( {]3-/ Synopsis: At their February 4th, 2003, meeting City Council requested a repOrt on the impact of an increase in the Food & Beverage tax rate from 5% to 6%, dedicating the additional revenue generated for funding the Parks Improvement Plan. Recommendation: If Council wants to refer the tax increase to the public for a vote they should take action by July to ensure adequate time for the City Recorder to submit the necessary documents to Jackson County for a September election. Fiscal Impact: The proposed budget for FY 2003-2004 would be adjusted to include an additional $336,000 in revenue from Food & Beverage Tax revenue, transferred to the Parks District for acquiring additional properties. Background: The Parks & Recreation Commission has considered many potential sources of revenue to provide additional funding for The Parks & Recreation Commission capital plan. At the February 4th City Council meeting, Parks proposed a change in the allocation of the current F&B revenue stream from 20% to Parks for acquisitions and 80% to the Wastewater Fund for debt service to 40% Parks and 60% Wastewater Fund. This would have necessitated a 14% increase on sewer rates to replace the lost revenue to the Wastewater fund. Council requested additional information be provided before considering an increase in the tax rate instead of the reallocation. Increasing the tax will probably not materially affect the amount of revenue generated for the Parks as compared to the reallocation. With an estimated increase in revenue of 3% per year, it estimated that an additional revenue for Parks of $2,780,000 would be generated by December 2010 (the sunset date of the current tax). Council Communication CITY OF ASHLAND TITLE: DEPT: DATE: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: 2003 Citizen Survey Administration February 18,2003 Ann Seltzer Brian Almquist Synopsis: The city has conducted random sample phone surveys in 1995, 1996, 1998 and 2000 and has budgeted for one in the 2002-2003 fiscal year. The objective of the survey is to gather information from Ashland residents, which reveal their attitudes about city and government issues, their understanding and awareness of city programs and satisfaction with these programs and city operations. The more current views and opinions will be compared to those of residents in 2000 and in 1998 when the baseline survey was conducted (the survey tool changed considerably from 1995 and 1996). The survey is conducted by phone to a random sample of 400 Ashland residents. The sample size allows a margin of error no greater than :t5%. Fiscal Impact: The 2002-2003 budget allows $15,000 to conduct the survey (allows for 12 - 15 minutes per call), the same allotment as in previous years. Request: Staff is looking for Mayor and Council input on topics/questions they would like to include in the upcoming survey. Included with this communication is a copy of staffs proposed questions for the 2003 survey. The proposed timeline requires all input not later than March 10. Timeline to conduct survey and prepare survey results. March 10 Final input due from Council. April 7-21 Conduct survey. Late April Prepare results. Early May Present results to council. Back2round: In 1998, the City issued an RFP for research firms to conduct a series ofthree citizen surveys. The firm selected was Scudder and Associates from Eugene, Oregon, now known as Lockwood Research. Upon completion of the survey, Lockwood Research makes a formal presentation to Council at a study session, and provides the City with a final detailed report. A new RFP will be issued for the survey to be conducted in subsequent years. Results for the 1998 and 2000 are posted on the City's web site. If you prefer a hard copy please let me know. ~~, NOTE: After the 2000 survey was completed in November of that year Council suggested conducting the survey in the spring to avoid competing with the numerous calls associated with the November election. Council also expressed some concern about the growing number of people who screen calls or answer the call and won't participate and the difficulty of getting a representative sample. There was discussion about weighting the sample size and/or using age and gender quotas. The following options are available. I) Weighting: Weighting uses demographic information from Census data. For example: The most recent demographic profile for the City of Ashland based on the 2000 Census indicates that 12% percent of the population is between the ages of 33 to 44. I f at the end of the survey, the num ber of respondents reached did not equal the demographic profile percentage of 12% the responses of the survey could be weighted. I f 10 of the 400 respondents were between the ages of 33-45--or 4% and 12% of 400 respondents is 48 people. Weighting would give each of the 10 respondents their own voice plus the "voice" on.8 others. 2) Gender and Age Quotas Quotas could be set based on the demographic profile. Using the above figure, callers would keep calling numbers until they had 48 respondents between the ages of 33 and 45. This would likely increase the cost ofthe survey because more calls must be made to meet each of the set quotas. 3) Promote the Survey in Advance By letting the community know in advance that the City is conducting a phone survey and asking for their patience and assistance, we may have fewer people screening calls and have more people willing to participate in the survey. An article about the upcoming survey will be in the March issue of City Source, information will be sent to the local media and posted on the City's website. Most of the following questions are the same as the ones in 1998 and 2000. Suggested questions new to this survey are identified and questions which staff feels should be deleted are italicized.

Male/Female 9 id-- CITY OF SHLAND Council Communication Title: Resolution to Protect Civil Liberties Dept: Legal Department Date: February 18, 2003 Submitted By: Paul Nolte ~ Approved By: Brian AlmouJs, t/~/ Synopsis: This resolution addresses constitutional concerns raised by the adoption of the USA Patriot Act signed into law by President Bush on October 26, 2001. The resolution reaffirms the city's commitment to the civil rights and liberties of all citizens and directs the Ashland Police Department to continue to recognize those rights when responding to any federal agency requests under, or enforcement of, the USA Patriot Act. The altemative resolution incorporates many of the principles and protections of the first resolution albeit in a less specific fashion. Recommendations: Adoption of either resolution would reaffirm the city's commitment to preserving and protecting thc civil rights and liberties of all citizens as provided in thc U.S. Constitution and the Oregon Constitution. Both resolutions provide direction to the police department as to its responsibilities in dealing with federal law and policies related to the USA Patriot Act. Fiscal Impact: Undetermined. No analysis has been made as to thc effect of the resolution on city/federal agency law enforcement cooperation or whether adoption of the resolution would affect any existing or future federal govemment grants. Background: The resolution was brought to the council by Paul Copeland and a community group informally known as the Ashland Patriots. Changes to this resolution, as indicated on the resolution itself, were made after consultation with the proponents. While most changes were accepted by consensus, the actual language of the changes has not been reviewed by the proponents due to time constraints. 1 - G:~IegalU3AUL\ORD\P~Patriot Act\Pal~iot Act Resolution 2-13 oc.wpd The recitals in the original version remain virtually unchanged except for formatting. No comprehensive analysis of the USA Patriot Act was possible in the short time-frame available. A perfunctory review of the USA Patriot Act sections cited in the recitals indicate that the citations are correct and that they could be interpreted in the manner suggested. Because of time constraints, no review of any kind was made of the cases, guidelines, memorandum, federal regulations or orders referenced in the recitals. The change in section 2.A was made to make it possible for the city's police officers to act in those circumstances requiring immediate action and where it is clear enforcement of the Patriot Act is not involved (e.g. threatened deadly force against a federal agent). The change in 2.C was made to make it consistent with the protected categories listed in section 1 and to allow investigation of crimes specifically focused on protected classes (e.g. hate crimes). Section 2.D was changed to allow continuance of non-announced searches permitted under Oregon law, including wiretaps and mobile trackers. These searches are only allowed to investigate state crimes after application to, and approval by, a s~ate court judge. Section 2.E was changed to make it clear that the police department would not participate in any federal program of clandestine civilian action. State law prohibits such participation otherwise. See section 2.B and the reference to ORS 181.575. Because the city lacks jurisdiction over schools and libraries, the consensus was to delete sections 3 and 4, but to notify the schools and libraries of the action taken by the city in this resolution. See renumbered section 4.D. Finally section 5 (renumbered to 3) was changed so that the onus was not placed upon the city administrator to poll all agencies who may operate under the authority of the USA Patriot Act or to assess the impact of it on Ashland citizens. 2- G:~legal~PAUL\ORD\P~atriot Act\Patriot Act Resolution 2-13 cc.wpd RESOLUTION NO. 2003- RESOLUTION TO PROTECT CIVIL LIBERTIES Note: The resolution presented to the council by Paul Copeland on January 30, 2003, is presented below with modifications drafted by the city attorney's office.

CITY OF ASHLAND Council Communication TITLE: DEPT: DATE: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: APPROVED BY: Synopsis: Recommendation: Fiscal Impact: Background: Resolution establishing Cable Television and Internet rates for the AsWand Fiber Network Electric & Telecommunication February 18, 2003 ~ Dick Wanderscheid Paul Nolte ,..,... Brian AlmqUi~ The last AFN rate increase was in August 2002. The business plan calls fo}.: annual rate increases to cover increased costs to operate the network. This proposed increase would be effective in May 2003. The proposal calls for a 7% increase in CATV, a $3.00 monthly increase for residential cable modems, and a $5.00 business cable modem increase. This proposal does not include a change to High-Speed Data customer's rate!? Staff recommends the Council adopt the resolution. This proposed rate increase should provide an additional $175,000 in revenue annually, based on current CATV and Cable Modem subscriber counts. AFN began service in February 2000. From that period until August 2002, 13 additional standard channels and a number of premium channels were added. In August 2002 rates were increased for the first time since launch. The AFN business plan as revised by the AFN advisory committee in October 2001, calls for annual rate increases to keep up with programming and other network cost increases. Since August 2002, 3 additional channels have been added and another is scheduled for addition shortly. The following table illustrates the proposed monthly CATV rate increase: Old Rate Rate Increase PEG Increase New Rate Tier I $ 7.00 $ .49 $ .15 $ 7.64 Tier 2 $11.46 $ .80 $ .15 $12.41 Tier 3 $28.46 $ 1.99 $ .15 $30.60 Tier 4 $37.97 $ 2.65 $ .15 $40.77 ElectriclTelecomm1Dlicatim Dept.

For comparison, the latest advertised rate by Charter for service that is comparable to Tier 3, is $32.40 plus $2.41 in franchise and PEG fees for a total customer cost of$34.81. This is $4.21 higher than AFN's Tier 3 rate of$30.60. Cable modem rates including franchise fees would increase as illustrated in the following table: Old Rate New Rate Residential (w ISP) Business (I-IP address) Residential (no ISP) $17.85 $63.00 $21.50 $21.05 $68.41 $25.78 Right now, AFN's certified ISP's are charging from $26.95 to $32.00 per month for retail service on AFN. We would expect $3-$5 retail increases would be passed on to retail customers as a result ofthis increased rate. For comparison purposes, Charter Internet rates in AsWand based on combining services of Cable TV and Internet are $29.95. This service has upstream speeds of 128Kb, and downloads speeds of 256Kb, comparing to AFN's up load speed of 128Kb and download speeds of3-5 M bits /second. Charter charges $39.95 for their Internet service if you don't bundle it with their Cable TV service. ElectricITelecomnllmicatioo Dept. Dick Wanderscheid, Director 90 N.

CITY OF ASHLAND Council Communication Title: A Resolution Supporting the Oregon Department of Transportation, Transportation Enhancement Grant Application in the amount of $580,000 for Construction of the North Ashland Multi-Use Path. Dept: Date: Submitted By: Reviewed By: Approved By: Public Works Department February 18, 2003 Paula Brown Paul Nolte Brian Almquist Synopsis: The attached grant application was submitted in response to the Oregon Department of Transportation's request for Transportation Enhancement grants. The City has had the North Ashland Multi-Use Path in the Capital Improvements program for the past few years, and staff from both the Engineering and Planning departments determined that this was the best opportunity for this year's grant application. Recommendation: Staff recommends the Council adopt the attached resolution Supporting the Oregon Department of Transportation, Transportation Enhancement Grant Application in the amount of $580,000 for Construction of the North Ashland Multi-Use Path. Fiscal Impact: Construction of the North Ashland Multi-Use Path from Hersey Street at the Railroad tracks to Jackson Road is estimated to be $868,000. Of this, $228,000 is being funded by the developer along the Billings Property, $60,000 is proposed as City funds from the Street SDCs, and the final $580,000 is being requested through the grant. Long term maintenance will be the City's responsibility and is estimated at $5,000 a year. If the grant is not funded, a partial path will be constructed with the Billings development, but the remaining connections will not be completed until grant funding or other sources of funds can be secured. Background: The North Ashland Multi-Use Path builds a connection for a separate bike/multi-use path from Hersey Street at the Railroad tracks to Jackson Road. A railroad easement has been previously obtained along the route. The grant application is attached and has detailed project reference information.

The funding of this project will allow the completion of another link in the Bicycle System Plan as outlined in the City's comprehensive plan and approved Transportation System Plan. The North Ashland Multi-use Path project is eligible for the Transportation Enhancement Program under the provision of facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists. This project, if funded, would complete a very important non-automotive link through the northern part of the City of Ashland, enhance the quality of Oregon's state highway transportation system, and help reduce dependence on the automobile. This project has been in the planning stage for more than 10 years and is now ready for implementation driven by a recently purchased 5,035 foot easement from Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad. The 10 foot wide paved multi-use path will begin approximately 2600 LF north of the railroad tracks at the north edge of a large track of private land presently proposed for development. It will run adjacent to the railroads tracks beginning at the north city limits at Jackson Road and Highway 99 (North Main Street) and end at Laurel Street and Hersey Street. The connectivity links are all state highways and busy arterial or local collector streets. The multi-use path will connect at the north end to the State highway system, but within Ashland's Urban Growth Boundary. At the south end, it will connect with bike lanes on Hersey Street that connect to lanes on Oak Street and eventually connect to the Central Business District and the existing Central Ashland Bikepath at Eighth Street. (See attached project drawing.) A private development proposed along a portion of the project will provide additional connectivity to Nevada Street. The total design, engineering and construction costs of the proposed project are approximately $640,000 in public funds and $228,000 in private funds. The City of Ashland seeks $580,000 in grant funding. (See Matching Fund and Cost Estimate sheets.) Purpose and Need: The ability to easily walk and bike is associated with higher levels of livability for communities. If Ashland is to strengthen this important part of its culture, it must implement vital transportation strategies. Oregon's past focus on accommodating the automobile must now be replaced by concerted efforts toward equally accommodating all modes of travel. A 1990 City of Ashland Bikeway Study by Robert H. Foster Consultants concluded that due to the narrow right of way, existing businesses and homes, the concept for bike lanes on this section of Highway 99 is limited without extensive land acquisition and demolition. He suggested that an alternative route along the railroad should be implemented. In 2002, Oregon State Highway 99 received paving improvements and introduced guardrails along a large segment of this proposed project. The guardrail replaced ODOr s originally planned concrete barriers known to the Bike and Pedestrian Commissioners and the press as "The Wall of Death." The guard rails are only slightly less problematic for pedestrians and bicyclists than the concrete barriers. Ashland needs a city-wide multi-use nonmodal path network that serves a large and diverse segment of the community. This project goes a long way toward that goal representing 30% of the total network. Without the federal highway funds provided by ODOT, this project will be put on hold. Furthermore, because the private developer will move forward in construction of portions of the project, the fragmented system would be an impediment to convenient travel. or-......-- Relationship to Transportation: Habit, established by our nationwide dependence on the automobile since the end of World War II, accounts for many of the current travel options and give rise to the choice of the automobile as the preferred mode of travel. Less apparent reasons for this choice are the perception of greater distance than actually exists and the presence of unsafe, unaesthetic or intimidating barriers to travel that discourage people from walking or cycling. This project minimizes these barriers and allows the citizens of Ashland to circumvent the over 22,000 cars per day that travel along Highway 99 (North Main Street). The proposed path will serve a minimum of 3,800 citizens including: two elementary schools, two large residential areas, as well as bike commuters, joggers, skaters, the 126 elderly of the Mountain View Retirement Center and recreational pedestrians and bicyclists from around the county. The goal of the path is to provide safe, direct and efficient access to both destinations and recreational opportunities not currently served. Two-thirds of the population of the City of Ashland both live and work in the City and generate an average car trip-length of under two miles. Changing energy and environmental costs have made the development of safe, efficient bicycle and pedestrian routes a City priority. In addition, walking and bicycling improve the traveler's health and well-being, as well as benefit motorists, employers, the larger community and the environment in general. Technical Merit: According to the 1995 Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Multi-use paths enhance bicycle and pedestrian travel in urban areas where the existing road system does not currently serve this population. The Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad right of way provides a ready- made corridor free of obstacles where street crossings are minimized. A 1993 study "Rails- With- Trails: Sharing Corridors For Recreation and Transportation," showed the trains and multi-use paths could safely and satisfactorily co-exist. The study showcased paths adjacent to tracks with 10-25 mph trains running approximately three times daily to one per month. One path was as close as eight feet to the tracks with minimal barriers such as vegetation and slight grade separation. No trail user/train accidents were observed. The study concluded that "rails-with-trails" might be the solution for providing communities auto-free pathways for transportation and recreation. This project will be planned and designed in accordance with the "Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan" as well as any applicable ODOT, AASHTO and FHW A current standards. Many years of planning and coordination go into the design of this project. This project is documented in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Systems Plan and the current budget. The scope of the project has been developed based on the opportunity presented by the recent acquisition of the required easements from the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad and adjacent private property. When the City limits extend northward in the future, it is anticipated that the multi-use path will connect with the Bear Creek Greenway thus facilitating a nonmodallink from Ashland and Gold Hill. As evidenced by the enclosed scope and cost estimate, the project is wholly practical, appropriate and provides a permanent alternative to a large cross-section of Ashland citizens. Support: Financial support for this project by the City of Ashland and the private developer is assured. The City of Ashland is contributing Transportation SDC's in the amount of $60,000 to be used as a hard funding match for this project. The developer of the adjacent property has committed to construct 37% of the project's length as well as grant easements in excess of '...............-4....___" $100,000. In addition, the City of Ashland acquired the railroad right of way for $100,000 using capital improvement funds. The inclusion of this multi-use path into the City of Ashland's existing bicycle and pedestrian system will further enhance the commitment of the City to move towards equality for all transportation modes. In effect construction of this path supports regional goals adopted by programs such as the Bear Creek Greenway, US Forest Service Trail Systems and Oregon Department of Transportation Bicycle and Pedestrian Department. This project is endorsed by Mayor Alan DeBoer and the City Council, the City of Ashland Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission, Traffic Safety Commission and the private developer of the property adjacent to the proposed path. The North Ashland Multi-Use Path is included in the current Capital Improvement Project pending funding. The Engineering Department will advertise for contract work to ensure timely construction within the specified budget. Long-term maintenance will be provided by the Ashland Street Department as part of their regularly scheduled maintenance program. Importance: The proposed project will serve a minimum of 3,800 citizens coming from all "walks" of life. There are two schools, the hospital, retirement facility as well as two large residential areas nearby. The goal of this project is to provide safe, direct and efficient access to destinations and recreational opportunities not currently served. Our goal is to serve more than resident cyclists, but by pedestrians, joggers and skaters - indeed, it will by an integral component of a community transportation system. In addition, because Highway 99 is designated a State of Oregon bicycle route we predict a high number of visiting cyclists as well. This project is identified by the City of Ashland and ODOT as an vital component of our transportation system. The City Council through its adoption of the Valdez Principles acknowledges direct responsibility for the environment and is committed to reducing air pollution. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission advocates the equal opportunity to use non-automotive forms of travel and to ensure the development of bicycle and pedestrian facilities into a well-designed, integrated transportation network for Ashland citizens. Ashland's award-winning Transportation Element of its comprehensive plan along with Southern Oregon's only Transportation System Plan adopted in 1998, identify the North Ashland Bikeway project as a priority. This project will be delayed until a new source of grant funding can be secured. Focus Areas: The North Ashland Multi-use Path represents new construction of an important nonmodal transportation route. Highway 99 is designated a State of Oregon bicycle route and many section within the City of Ashland are a serious impediment to safe and convenient travel. Connectivity of travel routes is as important as having a physical place to travel. The number of people who regularly walk and bicycle is one measure of a city's quality of life. The citizens of Ashland recognize the need and the project has been intended for a long, long time. This project is closely linked to a private development as described above. The Billings Ranch Subdivision will be a development of mixed housing, consisting of 23 attached town homes, 50 detached single family dwellings and common open space for "wetland preservation, passive recreation and aesthetic relief." ,'. -- PART 2 ..

DEPT: Finance Department DATE: February 18, 2003 /riff, Q- SUBMITTED BY: Lee Tuneberg, Finance Director APPROVED BY: Brian Almquist, Interim City Administrat0(r~ ~/~ Synopsis: Attached is a resolution authorizing staffto take the necessary steps to issue Water Revenue Bonds for capital projects and refunding the 1994 bonds. Included in the steps is publishing a Notice of Revenue Bond Authorization (sample attached) for legal compliance. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this resolution. Fiscal Impact: This is consistent with the 2002-2003 budget and past practices in financing capital projects. Background: The listing of projects included in the Capital Improvement Program approved as part of the FY 2002- 2003 budget process identified certain water infrastructure projects deemed necessary and appropriate to meet public need. Such projects routinely utilize multiple funding sources for the work including System Development Charges, Local Improvement Districts proceeds and borrowings paid over the life of the loan(s) with water rate revenues. Approved projects requiring partial funding through bond sale with the debt service paid by rates are: 1. New Fire Flow Distribution Reservoir ($2.3 million, $1.6 million form bonds) 2. Transmission Line from Reeder to the Plant ($1.2 million, $734,000 from bonds) 3. Main Supply Line from the Plant to Crowson Reservoir, ($1.1 million, $541,000 from bonds) Note: The amounts shown are the most current estimates for project costs. These estimates translate into a bond sale of approximately $2.9 million for projects. The resolution asks for a not to exceed amount of $3.5 million allowing issue costs and reserve requirements to be included in the sale. We estimate a rate of 4.5% on the new issue of 20 year bonds. The potential for refunding the 1994 Water Revenue Bonds is high with a net savings to the city of $188,000 over the remaining life of the bonds replacing the current 6.3% rate with a 3.6% borrowing. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF CITY OF ASHLAND, JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF WATER REVENUE BONDS FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED $3,500,000, AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION OF NOTICE. The City of Ashland resolves as follows: Section 1. Findings The Council finds as follows: 1.1 It is financially feasible and in the best interests of the City to authorize the issuance of bonds under the Uniform Revenue Bond Act to finance improvements, property acquisition and other public purposes related to the water system, including a transmission line, a distribution line, fire flow distribution, a reservoir, and a water treatment plant, and to pay all cost incidental thereto (the "Projects"). 1.2 The City is authorized to issue revenue bonds for any public purpose under Oregon's Uniform Revenue Bond Act (ORS 288.805 to 288.945 or the "Act"). Revenue bonds issued under the Act may be payable from all or any portion of the water system revenues of the City (the "Revenues"). 1.3 It is desirable to obtain $3,500,000 of bonding authority to finance the Projects. 1.4 The City will cause a plan to be prepared showing that the City's estimated Revenues which are pledged to pay each series of bonds authorized by this resolution will be sufficient to pay that series. 1.5 The City previously issued its Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1994 (the "1994 Bonds") that bear interest at rates that are higher than current market rates, and the City may be able to reduce debt service expense by refunding the 1994 Bonds. The City will establish the terms and conditions associated with those refunding bonds by subsequent resolution. Section 2. Bonds Authorized The City hereby authorizes the issuance of not more than Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) in aggregate principal amount of revenue bonds to finance the Projects and pay related costs. The bonds shall be issued and sold in accordance with the Act, and shall be payable solely from the Revenues which the City pledges to pay the bonds. Prior to selling the bonds the City Council shall establish by resolution or delegate the authority to establish the terms and conditions of the bonds pursuant to ORS 288.520. Section 3. Professional Appointments The City hereby appoints Preston, Gates and Ellis LLP as bond counsel and Westem Financial Group, LLC as financial advisor for the revenue bonds. Western Financial Group is authorized to Page 1 of 3 submit an advance refunding plan to the Oregon State Treasury in preparation for issuing refunding bonds to refund the 1994 Bonds. Section 4. Notice; Procedure 4.1 No bonds may be sold, and no purchase agreement for the bonds may be executed, until at least sixty (60) days after publication of the Notice of Revenue Bond Authorization, which is attached to this resolution as Exhibit "A" (the "Notice"). The Notice shall specify the last date on which petitions may be submitted, and shall be published in at least one newspaper of general circulation in the City in the same manner as are other public notices of the City. 4.2 If petitions for an election, containing valid signatures of not less than five percent (5%) of the City's electors, are received by the date indicated in the Notice: the question of issuing the bonds shall be placed on the ballot at the next legally available election date; and, no bonds may be sold under this ordinance until the question of issuing those bonds is approved by a majority of the electors of the City who vote on that question. Section 5. Bonds Payable Solely froru Revenues The bonds shall not be general obligations of the City, and neither the authorization nor issuance of the bonds shall authorize the City to levy any additional taxes. The bonds shall be payable solely fi.om the portion of the Revenues which the City pledges to payment of the bonds pursuant to ORS 288.825(1) and the resolution to be adopted by the City pursuant to Section 2 of this resolution. Section 6. Effective Date This resolution takes effect upon signing by the Mayor. This resolution was read by title onl~Ythin accordance with Ashland Municipal Code §2.04.090 duly PASSED and ADOPTED this 18 day of February, 2003. , City Recorder Barbara Christensen SIGNED and APPROVED this 18th day of February, 2003. , Mayor Alan W.
