For The Record:
Laurel @ Hersey Street Closing
Orange @ Glenn Street Closing
Public Hearing & Council Vote
Tue,2007Nov20
Pressured by ODOT-Rail, council will decide on
permanent closings of Laurel St at Hersey St, and
Orange St at Glenn St (at the tracks). These aren't
temporary construction detours. They're permanent
street closings at 2 railroad crossings.
What railroad crossings would be closed?
(1) The railroad crossing where Orange St becomes
Glenn St ("Orange-Glenn crossing") would be
permanently closed in both directions to all vehicle
traffic. (Bicyclists and pedestrians could cross.) Glenn
St is the northernmost exit from Quiet Village onto Main
St. Ifs a frequent route for Quiet Villagers to
Talent-Phoenix-Medford.
Traffic would be permanently diverted in a C-pattern:
east toward Laurel, south up Laurel, then west up
Hersey to the dangerous Hersey-Wimer intersection at
N. Main St.
This dosure would funnel all northbound traffic onto
Laurel St, whiCh now has speeding problems
endangering children.
(2) Laurel St southside would be closed at Hersey
St. This would divert some traffic to Helman St. Here's
a map.

How much Glenn St traffic are we talking? The last
traffic count (done years ago) showed 985 vehides
crossed Orange-Glenn daily. Since then, traffic has
increased because Planning Commission and council
didn't require a northern exit from Billings subdivision to
North Main St. More is coming.
Isn't the Laurel-Hersey crossing already
dangerous? Yes. The Laurel-Hersey crossing is
unusual and dangerous. Railroad tracks bisect the
intersection at nearly a 450 angle. Shifting traffic from
Orange-Glenn to Laurel-Hersey hurts safety because
traffic is funneled from a 1-street crossing to a
dangerous intersection crossing. Glenn St crossing is
safer.
S
E + W
N
Is this map telling me you can't get there from
here'? Yes. ODOT-Rail's proposal means we could no
longer go up Laurel St to Main St (to Briscoe SChool,
Methodist Church, N. Main offices and restaurants,
downtown, Plaza, Siskiyou Blvd). Many people use ,~he
Laurel 5t stoplight as the safe way to turn left onto Main
St. Helman@Main is less safe. OOOT -Rail proposes
to move all Orange-Glenn St traffic to Laurel St, and
some Laurel St traffic to Helman St.
Is this profJOSlll expected to improve safety? No.
The proposal doesn't claim overall safety
improvement.
Nobody has put forward any evidence that funneling
traffic through 1 crossing increases safety compared to 2
crossings.
Nobody who's studied these 2 crossings has claimed
on the record that diverting all Orange-Glenn traffic to
Laurel-Hersey, or Laurel traffic to Helman, would
improve safety.
All record evidence to date has been that this project
would DECREASE neighborhood safety for Quiet
, Village.
If it hurts Sllfety, why does ODOT-Rall want it?
Money. ODOT-Rail (not 'regular' ODOT) has an
objective to decrease rail crossings statewide, and a
budget to do it. They promise communities money if
they close crossings. Fewer crossings mean less work.
This isn't a safety project. It's a "traffic-
diversion-so-we-don't-have-to-maintain-the-crossing"
project.
How does ODOT-Rail's proposal hurt safety?
1. Closing the Orange-Glenn crossing increases
driving, thus more accident exposure. Added
distance increases exposure to more accidents on more
streets for more families and children. (Plus more
pollution and congestion.)
2. Closing the southside Laurel-Hersey crossing
increases driving and exposure for those going to the
Laurel St section of N. Main (Briscoe School, Methodist
Church, etc.). More miles = more exposure = more
accidents.
3. Road rage increases. ODOT -Rail's proposal would
require a Quiet Villager who wants to drive north to drive
east, then south, then west, then north. C-Ioops make
drivers angry, who speed up to "make up for lost time".
This road rage speeding increases danger along the
entire route.
4. Triple the crossings. When you turn left from
Laurel St east onto Hersey, you actuaHy cross the tracks
twice (more exposure to trains). Closing Laurel
southside forces drivers to downtown to take this
"double-cross" turn, drive to Helman St, and cross the
tracks again, a "triple-cross". ODOT-Rail's design
TRIPLES railroad crossings for this frequent route.
Why would ODOT-Rall close Laurel Sf southside
and make us cross the tracks 3 times via Helman Sf,
thus decreasing safety? To save $150,000 for a
crossing arm.
What's the train situation? The official record shows:
1. Two freight trains go through daily, no passenger
trains.
2. Railroad tracks are in such bad shape, trains creep
through Ashland at a crawl. (Train speeds are actually
slower than average car speeds on Laurel St.)
3. CORP (Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad) said
costs prevent upgrading the tracks (which would mean
faster trains).
4. Nothing in the record shows that 2 freight trains
creeping through Ashland per day will change in the
foreseeable future.
5. Ashland doesn't have a train frequency or train
speed problem at any railroad crossing, including these 2
crossings.
6. Ashland's railroad crossings need crossing arms,
lights, and roadbed reconstruction to improve safety.
Didn't we settle this issue already? Yes. This is
the second council hearing on this design. At the first
hearing, (2006Apr4) Public Works Director Paula Brown
and Jim Olson told council the proposal would NOT
improve safety. I signed in, outlined the major safety
problems to council, and exPlained the surveyed
neighborhood opposition.
Council voted 5-1 to improve both crossings, and
close neither. ODOT-Rail said they'd pay City $400,000
to improve the Oak St crossing-- if.City closed Glenn St.
All except 1 voted to not tradeoff our safety for money.
After council voted NO, ODOT-Rail gave City the Oak St
upgrade money anyway.
Which councilor voted FOR these 2 closings?
David Chapman, the councilor featured in the Oct3
USA TOday page 3 article for his profanity in council
meetings. Chapman has repeatedly cursed and
screamed at council meetings, the only councilor to do
so. As 'facilitator' in Nevada St LID, Chapman allowed
government employees to verbally attack neighbors who
opposed bumpouts, which he wanted.
Is this hearing a repeat? Yes. Same design and
safety problems as before, with more pressure and new
$ estimates.
Critical incident Ethics ordinance, vote changing.
Council has a strange vote-changing pattern. Example:
Councilor Kate Jackson waited months, until second
reading of the ethics ordinance, to remove the provision
stopping electees and appointees from representing a
client before a city commission. Jackson's last minute
change allows her to make money by representing
developers at Planning Commission (she's a land-use
consultant, elected last fall with major developer
contributions). Silbiger and Chapman changed their vote
from 1st reading, which had approved the ethics upgrade
5-0 (Jackson had walked out just before the vote). If this
last-minute tactic repeats, we cou1d have another 3-3 tie,
with Morrison's tie-breaker going to
Jackson-Silbiger-Chapman.
How is this hearing different? Last time, Brown and
Olson recommended against closing Glenn St for safety
problems, traffic flow, and neighborhood opposition. The
proposal is unchanged, yet now they recommend closing
Glenn St and attack the neighborhood as 'resistant to
change'. Their report turned up pressure to approve an
unsafe design that council has already voted down, and
discounted opposition as folks stuck in their ways.
Brown and Olson stacked the deck againstQuiet Village.
If councilors join the parade and chanoe their votes, we
may need to win in Circuit Court, as in Nevada LID and
Schofield LID. After we proved in circuit court that all 6
councilors, mayor, city attorney, and city recorder knew
of 8 financial conflicts of interest for Paula Brown in
Nevada LID, she resigned, effective next month.
Why is Public Works doing this now? They want to
trade the Glenn St closing for a new crossing at 4th St.
ODOT -Rail wants to close crossings, not add new ones.
City is sacrificing our neighborhood safety for a political
"credit" (their word) toward a new crossing at 4th St, in
the Historic District.
What did Traffic Safety Commission say about this
new proposal? Nothing, because Brown and Olson
didn't ask. Traffic Safety Commission was negative the
1st time, since evidence showed worse safety. One
commissioner called ODOT-Rail's proposal a "bribe".
This time Brown and Olson skipped them, so they
haven't reviewed the revised "bribe".
What does Emergency Services say? "Laurel
Street is a preferred Emergency Route."
What do the staff summary of Quiet Village's
position? "It is exPected that many within the Quiet
Village neighborhood may oppose any cross- ing closure
on Laurel or Glenn as these 2 crossings provide
connectivity for the neighborhood and Helman School."

Closing Glenn St
Public Hearing and Council Vote
Continued To Tue, Dec 4, 71ml.
We're First On The Agenda.
Please Mark Your Calendars I
Thanks to dozens of people who attended, signed in,
and spoke, council's hearing and vote to close Glenn St
was continued until Tue, Dec 4, 7pm, Council Chambers,
1175 E. Main St, near Mtn Ave, by the police station.
This time we're FIRST on the agenda (after approval
of minutes and consent agenda), so arrive at 7pm.
If you didn't watch or tape the hearing, you can watch
it online at ashland.or.us (click 'Videos'). For help, call
city recorder Barbara Christensen at 488-5307. She's
responsible for public records, including council videos.
The week before the hearing, i informed mayor Morri-
son that some wanted to speak and would be out of
town for holidays. i asked him to leave the hearing open
so everyone would have an opportunity to speak for the
safety of their families and neighborhood when they
returned from Thanksgiving. He declined to do so.
So many people showed up and signed in that the
hearing wasn't finished by the required 9:30pm stop time
for public testimony (council can meet until 1 0:30pm).
Mayor cut each speaker from 5 minutes to 3 minutes, yet
even that was unsuccessful at shoehorning the hearing
before 9:30pm. The overflow prevented the hearing
from being slipped below the radar on a holiday week.
So thanks to your neighbors, you have a second
chance to speak and emall council before it decides
whether or not to permanently close Glenn St
Please send your public email to council at
cornment_to_the_council@llstashland.or.us
Or write a letter and deliver it to city recorder's office
downstairs at the comer of City Hall on the Plaza. Make
sure to say "For The Record:" in the subject line of
your email (or top of your letter), or it may be ignored.
Then attend the hearing and sign in. Council may not
read your email or letter, though they'll listen to you read
it or speak from the heart. Morrison, for example, has
refused to read emaits, angrily yelling at the camera in a
council meeting (as if speaking to you) that 'If you want
me to ready those emalls, you'll have to PAY ME.'
If you've spoken and want to speak again, you can
bring a friend to sign in and transfer their time to you. At
least 1 person prepared their testimony for 5 minutes (as
the agenda said), only to have Morrison shave it to 3
minutes and cut them off before they were done.
Summary Of Hearing Part 1
Staff presentation. In their staff presentation, Brown and
Olson never even mentioned the words "neighborhood safety".
Nobody, including OooT -Rail and Public Works, claims that
closing Glenn St would improve neighborhood safety.
Blown and Olson recommend permanently closing
Glenn Sf as a "batga/nlng chIp" (their words) to add a
crossing on 4th St. They said OooT -Rail is reluctant to add
crossings, so City needs a "credit" for 4th St. Quiet Village
safety has become a "bargaining chip" in negotiations. City
also wants another 'neNI crossing in the cemetery. (Converting
the current "private crossing" adds 1 to the offici~ count.)
OooT -Rail's interest is fewer crossings (less work). Quiet
Village's interest is public safety of the families and children
who live here. A letter in the record shows that after the coun-
cil meeting, Olson told an upset 4th St property owner that City
didn't really want a crossing at 4th St, they were just saying this
to get money from OooT to fix Laurel St.
Council should decide the Glenn St issue based on pub-
lic StIfety for Quiet ViUIItfJe taxpayws, not a fake forced
choice of 4th St vs. Glenn St.
Councilor Kate Jackson asked Olson about the laurel St
"canying capacity". MCanying capacity" is not a safety meas-
ure. Ifs a volume measure assuming back-to-back cars all day
long. In my experience, when council shifts from safety to
"canying capacity", ifs preparation to okay a traffic diversion
because "Laurel St is wide enough to handle It".
Public testimony was awesome. Speakers were passion-
ate, cfear, respectfut, thoughtful, and convincing. Many were
long-term residents who've seen it all, and only believe half of
it. Any objective councilor would be convinced by the over-
whelming evidence now in the record that closing Glenn St is
against the public interest for neighbortlood safety.
The hearing was Quiet Village at its best, and a sharp c0n-
trast to council. Polite yet firm. No personat attacks. No dis-
tractions. No cursing. No sniping, as Morrison did in the Verde
Village hearing before ours. Comments were relevant to the
matter at hand- closing Glenn St and protecting our safety.
If the people of Quiet Village ran City government, this mess
would be cleaned up in a huny.
Emails To Council Have Been Overwhelming
Council tistserve is hopping with emails like this:
http://lists.asI1land.or.uslpipermaillcomment_to_the_council
I write this 8S a person in her 8th month of hospitalization,
rehab and 24 hour home care after being struck by a van at the
intersection of Hersey and N Main streets. My injuries were: a
broken pelvis, a broken leg (with a metal rrxJ in it now), a br0-
ken arm, and severe wounds on my legs which have required 2
surgeries so far. I am in constant pain.
If the proposed closure goes into effect, it will result in even
more traffic at this busy, dangerous intersection where I was
struck. Also, Lori Lane wiN experience increased traffic and
danger. Please do everything possible to keep the Glenn
Street RR crossing open.
Claire Collins, 482 Lori Lane
Laurel St Update
We can OO\N focus on the proposed Glenn St closure. After
our handout, city administrator Martha Bennett committed to
not discussing the Laurel St closing, so it VtQJJd now be legal
error to do so. Olson added that CIty planned to make Laurel-
Hersey a 2-way stop. Hersey traffic VtQJJd apparently have the

Mayor And Councilors' Ex Parte Contact
With Paula Brown And Jim Olson
Art Bullock, 2007Nov20
Extensive undisclosed ex parte contact has occurred between council and Public Works Director
Paula Brown, and Interim Public Works Director Jim Olson. Paula Brown has a personal financial
interest in the outcome of the Glenn St closing. Paula Brown owns/owned property inside the area
where traffic would be diverted by the Glenn St closing.
Brown's personal financial interest makes her a party to this quasi-judicial decision. That means
all communication between council and Brown, or mayor and Brown, is ex parte contact. Brown has
communicated directly or indirectly through other staff such as the city administrator or legal
department. Under Oregon law, ex parte contact regarding a quasi-judicial matter must be
disclosed with opportunity to rebut prior to beginning the public hearing. Chair John Morrison failed
to require ex parte disclosure, to explain the substance of that ex parte, and to allow opportunity for
rebuttal. As a result of undisclosed and extensive ex parte contact, mayor and councilors have been
biased in their decision-making.
A key issue before you in Glenn St closing is how Billings traffic will use Glenn St to go to Main St.
In Nevada LID, where Glenn St closing was discussed, City admitted in writing to the circuit court
that mayor and all 6 councilors, city recorder, city administrator, and city attorney knew of 8 conflicts
of interest for Paula Brown, including Billings developer/Mike Peru improving her real property/value
at 800 Cambridge St at Nevada St. At last check, none of these 8 conflicts of interests have been
disclosed as required by ORS 244.120. Oregon ethic laws requires her to disclose these conflicts in
writing with a request that the appointing authority dispose of the conflict. Mayor Morrison and all 6
councilors are Brown's appointing authority, and must dispose of this conflict of interest in the public
record. At last check, Brown has still not disclosed in writing her 8 conflicts of interest in matters
affecting her real property, the Billings subdivision, and the Glenn St closure.
Under oath in deposition, Jim Olson admitted that Paula Brown gave him the illegal percentages
used in Nevada LID, that she gave them to him early on, that he knew those percentages to violate
Resolution 1999-09 when she gave them to him, and that he failed to inform council and
neighborhood though he was project manager with budget responsibility. Olson's deposition
showed he acted as Paula Brown's agent in securing illegal cost-sharing percentages that used tax
money to illegally subsidize Billings subdivision.
Because of his prior role as Brown's agent in Billings subdivision matters, all communication
between council and Olson is also ex parte contact and must be disclosed on the record with an
opportunity to rebut. As of today, Paula Brown has resigned as Public Works Director, and Jim
Olson is Interim Public Works Director. City's web site claims Paula Brown has been hired as a
part-time engineer with the task to prepare next year's Public Works budget and capital
improvement plan. Under the current arrangement, Olson is Brown's boss, though Brown continues
to do director-level tasks.
John Morrison, Kate Jackson, David Chapman, and Cate Hartzell have been party to discussions
in 2004 about Glenn St closure as part of Nevada LID, including meeting minutes and written notes.
None of the related documents or substance of the communication has been placed in the record
with opportunity to rebut. The communication was so extensive, inside and outside meeting, that the
parties require time to respond and rebut any such ex parte disclosures. After this extensive ex
parte contact is disclosed, the parties should have at least 1 week to respond and rebut.

Good evening.
Thank you for the opportunity to address the
council.
My name is John Gronberg. I live at 470 Lori
Lane here in Ashland.
I am also the resident manager of Glenn Vista
Estates; a 48-unit town home complex which
borders the RR crossing in question.
I am speaking for myself as a resident of the
immediate neighborhood of the RR crossing and
as a spokesman for the Glenn Vista Board of
Directors and the 92 residents and owners of
Glenn Vista. (Read Board Resolution).
If the RR crossing at Glenn Street is closed, we
here at Glenn Vista will experience increased
traffic, with its resulting noise and danger. We
ask the council to do everything it can to prevent
this closure from happening.
Thank you again for your attention
TO: Ashland City Council
FROM: GlennVista Homeowners Association
The GlennVista Homeowners Association is opposed to closure of Glenn Street at the
railroad crossing.
GlennVista consists of 48 condominium units in nine separate buildings. It is bounded by
Hersey Street, Lori Lane, Glenn Street and the railroad berm.
Glenn and Hersey streets are the main arteries leading to a sizable residential community,
including Quiet Village and the Billings Ranch subdivision. Closure of Glenn Street would
result in:
1. Additional traffic on Hersey, exacerbating the already dangerous and congested
condition of the Hersey-North Main-Wimer intersection;
2. Increased traffic on Lori Lane as motorists seek a "detour" around the dangerous,
congested Hersey-North Main-Wimer intersection.
Lori Lane is a narrow neighborhood street, barely wide enough to allow two cars to pass.
Additional traffic would create an intolerable and dangerous situation for our residents.
We request that Glenn Street be kept open.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: The proposed RR crossing closure at Glenn Street.
I write this as a person in her 8th month of hospitalization, rehab and 24 hour home care
after being struck by a van at the intersection of Hersey and N Main streets. My injuries
were: a broken pelvis, a broken leg (with a metal rod in it now), a broken arm, and severe
wounds on my legs which have required 2 surgeries so far. I am in constant pain. If the
proposed closure goes into effect, it will result in even more traffic at this busy, danger-
ous intersection where I was struck. Also, Lori Lane will experience increased traffic and
danger. Please do everything possible to keep the Glenn Street RR crossing open.
Claire Collins

Please do all in your power to prevent the closure of Glenn Street at the railroad tracks. This will
cause undue hardship on all residents within the general area in addition to increased traffic on
Lori Lane as well as cause the Glennvista entrance to become a turnaround nightmare.
Thank you.
Bud Wilkey

Dear Council:
I write to protest the proposed closing of Glenn Street to vehicular
access at the railroad crossing. If this action is taken, the short
city street, Lori Lane, will become hugely congested as Glenn Street
traffic is diverted there. Lori Lane was never designed as a
thoroughfare and increasing its traffic load will cause more problems
than you can imagine.
If there was a great deal of railroad traffic I might understand the
desire to close Glenn; however, only two trains a day use these
tracks--one usually after eleven p.m. and the other around nine a.m.
This certainly doesn't seem like a huge hazard; it is preferable to the
closure's ramifications noted above.
Thank you for your consideration.

I unfortunately won't be able to attend the council meeting on Dee 4th, but am defmitely
in opposition to this harebrained plan to turn Glenn St. into a dead end. Please count m,e
among our residenmts that are opposed.
All the best, Maggie Purves

Yes as a Glenn Vista resident and Lori Lane condo owner- I object to this proposal and think
citing the lack of sufficient turn around space if this is accurate as a good political point to stand
fIrm on.
Good luck - egads !

AS RESIDENTS OF GLENNVISTA - WE ARE APPALLED AT THE SUGGESTION OF
CLOSING GLENN ST AT THE RR CROSSING.
THINK ABOUT IT - WHAT A MESS. FIRST OF ALL PEOPLE LIVING EAST OF GLENN ST
HOW DO THEY GET TO THE HOSPITAL IN A HURRY?
OUR MAIN DRIVEWAY WOULD BE FULL OF CARS TRYING TO TURN AROUND. THE
INCREASED TRAFFIC ON LORI LANE WOULD BE HORRIFIC AND DANGEROUS!
A VERY BAD IDEA!

I am, Joseph W. SCott, a resident at } 60 Glenn St. I have been apprised of the
tollowing proposal.
nThe Oregon DepartmentotT ransportation Rail Division is proposing the closure
ot the RR crossing at Glenn Street..
I do not know wh'y this is being done, but I would like to protest against it in an'y case. I
use that crossing to avoid the jammed downtown area-alread'y clogged with traffic. I
use that crossing to drive across the cit9 to I)i Mart and other such stores on that
side of town. Going through the downtown area would be a hardship.
Having a dead-end street in that location serves no useful purpose-trom what I can
see-tor those of us who live in the neighborhoods in the area. How would it benefit
us? I can1t see how.
Flease don't close it.
Joseph W. Scott

Would like to add my name to the many who think that the closing of the Glenn
Street railroad crossing is definitely not a good idea. I cross the tracks one, two
or three times a day for the past 10 years and never had what might be termed a
critical happening, the layout, and the ones using it, must be 95% locals, make
for a cautious approach.
Ralph Herbold

John,
Thank you for being informed about the proposed closure.
Of course I would like to understand why ODOT is proposing the closure.
My points are as follows:
1. At first glance, such a closure would eliminate connectivity and
circulation that is essential to the overall functioning of our City
street system.
2. Another concern is that of having an sufficient vehicular turn-around
or cul-de-sac that is dedicated to the public. If local government
decides to create a deadencl street, then it needs to provide a public
dedicated turnaround; there does not appear to be sufficient land
area at the rail crossing to dedicate for this purpose and land
acquisition! condemnation would be costly to the taxpayers. It would
be unreasonable and inequitable for the City Council to expect the
public to use our private street (to Phase lof Glennvista) as a public
turnaround, as the homeowners pay for its maintenance and repair.
3. The emergency service providers (Fire, Police and EMT) within the
City should also weigh into the proposed closure as it would appear to
lengthen response times.
I will try to join you for this City Council meeting. lets keep in touch.

Members of the Council:
Michael Delaney and Diane Yu, owners of the residential property located at 374 Glenn Street,
hereby add their opposition to the planned closure of Glenn street as a thoroughfare that crosses
the railroad tracks. We are aware of no demonstrated need for this proposed action, and we be-
lieve that creation of a dead end street where a through street has long existed would lead to con-
fusion for drivers, and would markedly increase traffic flow that win be imposed on alternate
routes. These routes include the most immediate alternative to Glenn Street, Lori Lane, which
was not designed to accommodate such an increase in traffic, and is not well configured to do so. .
In addition, there is no practical space for a turnaround area adjacent to the tracks, and numerous
drivers seeking an alternative route wiI undoubtedly go into the lengthy main driveway that
serves the Glenn VISta residences. That drive itself offers no outlet, but due to its length of
several hundred feet, that fact win not be obvious to drivers who will probably clog the limited area
serving our residential development
A closure or cut-off of an existing sIreet should only be undertaken under limited circumstances,
and with a truly compelHng rationale. In the absence of same, we ask that this proposal be
rejected by the City Council.

For the Record, 4 December, 2007
To the Mayor and City Council members,
Ashland's citizens elected you to watch out for the better interests of the city of Ashland and
its people. We did not elect you to serve the interests of other entities such as the Railroad or
other organizations or persons outside of the Ashland community.
In particular this means that you should place the long term interests of Ashland above any
short or long term interest of such outside entities. You should NOT close the intersection at
Laurel and Hersey streets, nor should Glenn street be closed. In both cases, the Railroad
should upgrade the crossing to assure the safety of Ashland citizens as well as to promote
good flow of traffic onto North Main St. Traffic lights should be added on North Main at these
access points which have too much traffic for uncontrolled access to be safe.
If these streets are closed, it will increase traffic on previously quiet side streets such as Ohio
and Orange, and degrade property values as it increases road rage and endangers our
children. This would be a bad thing.
While a vehicular crossing of the railroad tracks at 4th Street might be seen by some people
as being beneficial, I do not see it that way. MAKING A PEDESTRIAN THROUGH WAY, LIKE
WAS DONE BY THE PEOPLE BEFORE THE FENCE WAS ERECTED, AND EXPANDING
THE RAILROAD PARK WOULD BE A BETTER USE OF CITY RESOURCES. THE ENTIRE
AREA COULD BE TURNED INTO A PARK!! ASHLAND NEEDS MORE PARKS!!
There are some reports of rude behavior on the part of Mayor and/or Council toward citizens
in this matter. If these are true, you should carefully consider whether you ought to step down
from your job, if you don't enjoy it, and don't feel willing to best support the citizens and
interests of the town, including listening to public input. If these reports about rude behavior
are not correct, then those persons distorting facts should be publicly corrected.
Do not succumb to pressure that promotes actions which are penny wise and dollar foolish,
much less actions that are flat out stupid, or contrary to the best interests of Ashland and its
long term well being. Rather than close or block existing traffic access to North Main, what's
needed is a new access point, for example a connection between Nevada street and North
Main. In addition, the existing railroad crossings should be fixed up so they are safe.
In addition, Ashland's alleys are an important part of its quaint small town charm. There are
far too many which have been paved over already. This represents unnecessary
expenditures that would be better applied to sensible actions such as improving the safety of
Laurel, Hersey and Glenn streets railroad crossings. DO NOT PAVE OVER ANY MORE
ALLEYS!!! DO NOT ADD UNNECESSARY STREET LIGHTING, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS
WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T WANT SUCH SO CALLED IMPROVEMENTS,
WHICH IN REALITY DEGRADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN ASHLAND.

To the Mayor and City Council members,
Ashland's citizens elected you to watch out for the better interests of the city of Ashland
and its people. We did not elect you to serve the interests of other entities such as the
Railroad or other organizations or persons outside of the Ashland community.
In particular this means that you should place the long term interests of Ashland above any
short or long term interest of such outside entities. You should NOT close the intersection
at Laurel and Hersey streets, nor should Glenn street be closed. In both cases, the Railroad
should upgrade the crossing to assure the safety of Ashland citizens as well as to promote
good flow of traffic onto North Main St. Traffic lights should be added on North Main at
these access points which have too much traffic for uncontrolled access to be safe.
While a vehicular crossing of the railroad tracks at 4th Street might be seen by some people
as being beneficial, I do not see it that way. Making a pedestrian through way (such as
already existed before the area was fenced oft) and expanding the Railroad Park would be a
better use of City resources. In fact, the entire area could be turned into a park that would
enhance many aspects of Ashland which certainly does not have too many parks.
There are some reports of rude behavior on the part of Mayor and/or Council toward citizens
in this matter. If these are true, you should carefully consider whether you ought to step
down from your job, if you don't enjoy it, and don't feel willing to best support the citizens
and interests of the town, including listening to public input. If these reports about rude
behavior are not correct, then those persons distorting facts should be publicly corrected.

For the Record - Glenn Street Closure
Mayor and Council,
I am an urban planner and an Ashland residentlhomeonwer in close proximity to the proposed Glenn
Street Closure. I submit to you the following comments and questions:
1.. At first glance, such a closure would eliminate connectivity and circulation that is essential to the
overall functioning of our City street system. Has Council thought about this?
2.. Another concern is that of having an sufficient vehicular turn-around or cul-de-sac that is dedicated to
the public. If local government decides to create a deadend street, then it needs to provide a publicly
dedicated turnaround; there does not appear to be sufficient land area at the rail crossing to dedicate for
this purpose and land acquisition/condemnation would be costly to the taxpayers. It would be
unreasonable and inequitable for the. City Council to expect the public to use our private street (to Phase 1
of Glennvista) as a public turnaround, as the homeowners pay for its maintenance and repair. Has
Council throught about this?
3.. Lori Lane was not built to the urban standard sufficient to carry increased traffic. Is it the usual
practice of a municipality to make street closures that would potentially increase traffic on public streets
that are not designed for such capacity?
4.. The emergency service providers (Fire, Police and EMT) within the City should also weigh into the
proposed closure as it would appear to lengthen response times. Have these agencies analyzed this
closure?
5.. Has the City completed a traffic analysis?
6.. Is this a monetary issue? Has ODOT and City Staff worked a deal to fund street improvements that is
now being put to the test with the public?
7.. This situation feels very similar to the will of a developer putting impact upon the general public; in this
case the City of Ashland is the developer placing its will upon the public, who would likely be impacted by
the closure.
Please include a copy of this email in the record of the City Council for the Glenn Street Closure. Please
email me a copy of the City Staff Report on this matter.
Sincerely,
George Rubaloff, AICP

[Comment_to_the_council] Glenn Street proposed closure - FOR THE RECORD
To the Mayor and City Council:
FOR THE RECORD - December 4,2007- Continuation meeting on Glenn Street
Closure Proposal
Concerning the closure of Glenn Street to vehicles, the Council has received
considerable public comment in opposition to this proposal at its meeting on
November 27. Among the most critical revelations to emerge from public
testimony are the safety issues that need more thorough examination.
Reported personal experiences of our townsfolk using surrounding
thoroughfare streets, including Glenn, have raised serious safety issues
that give great pause to this issue being handled ligthtly.
Instances of life and death circumstances have hinged on quick access to
medical emergency destinations. Diverting traffic still further to these
other streets should Glenn Street be closed, raises more safety concerns
because these alternative thoroughfares pose grievous problems where serious
accidents are likely to increase. To date, there have already been victims
of the dangerous intersections at Hersey and Wimer and Hersey and Laurel.
These present more reason to retain Glenn Street as a throughway to avoid
compounding the problem with the necessity of more people required to divert
to these imposed alternative streets.
We need a clear understanding of what the affects of closure might be and,
therefore, a Safety Study examination by the Council and public citizens
seems not only merited, but imperative, so that a sound decision can be
made.

TO THE COUNCIL:
Currently, it seems that the major businesses in Ashland are tourism and real estate. And so we keep going
around in circles between the social and environmental values everyone would like to have, and whether we
can afford to actually be very rigorous about them. Under the current dynamic, Ashland will continue to become
ever more affluent, and materialistic. Development pressures from the outside will increase even further, of
which you are undoubtedly aware. There might never be a time when the clarity of Council's priorities will be so
crucial. Can you afford to be laissez faire? Can you afford to be so value-free that you are indifferent to whether
coke-dealers, pyromaniacs, pedophiles, serial killers, and real estate speculators begin to populate Ashland? Do
you want to see Ashland become another Sausalito? It will happen all by itself, if Council is not discriminating.
In this regard, I think Ashland could take a page from Arcata, our neighbor to the south, who has been very
proactive in preserving the character of their community, even passing laws to do so.
If you cogitate here, I think you will see that we clearly need at least a third leg to stabilize Ashland' socio-
econmic table. Personally, I would love to see Ashland become a true college town, like Ithaca, Madison,
Berkeley, etc. I think this is actually doable, with a clear enough strategy, and determination. But it will not
happen soon, in any event. I propose now a course of action which can be set in motion immediately.
We could form an ad hoc citizen committee, membership to be approved by Council, to assess the viability of
various green industries, in terms of their economic contributions, energy requirements, and possible pollution
(see accompanying Internet pages), among other things, and how then to recruit these resources to locate
within Ashland. The stock market in so-called "green chip" stocks is exploding, particularly for solar. For good
references on this try Googling "Jeff Siegel", & "Brian Hicks".
The ad hoc committee could be called, for simplicity, the "Committee On Useful Green: Assessment &
Recruitment". Whatever. Once the concept is accepted, the City could run announcements in the Tidings. I'm
willing to post flyers.
From my own experience with committees, I'd advise that you make very clear that this is an ad hoc committe,
set up for a finite time only. As Mark Twain and others have observed, "There is nothing that focuses the mind
so wonderfully as the prospect of being hanged in the morning.". So I'd recommend that this committee be given
one month to produce results, and give recommendations to Council. If they can't complete things by then, but
do have some clear accomplishments, give them another month. No more.
Here are some possibilities.
1) There are currently over 70 listings of solar companies in Oregon. California has many more, and across
the United States there are many hundred. We might be able to lure some companies to relocate, not only from
California, but places like N.J., which lack our lovelitude. I am thinking less about local applications, than
manufacturing and shipping materials elsewhere.
As example, Honda has a subsidiary, Soltee. which manufactures a new type of solar cell composed of
Copperllndium/Gallium/Selenium which they think is competitive with the traditional Silicon based solar cells,
and is "50% greener" (less energy consumption) to manufacture. I imagine Soltec would be happy to get a
foothold in the US, and this is labor-intensive stuff, often requiring technical expertise, which should gladden the

hearts of many.
Nanosolar, in California has developed technology, called "revolutionary" by many outside sources, which
produces ultra-thin, non-silicon, photovoltaic films, which can be applied to windows, roof tiles, etc. The process
drops the product cost from $3/watt to $1/watt. Production costs are only -$0.30watt.
IBM has a reclamation process which converts used silicon wafers into solar wafers. They might be open to
putting an installation in Ashland.
The Russians have a process for producing industrial quantities of polysilicon (a precursor for solar silicon
wafers) which eliminates the usual chlorine contaminants attendant to the manufacturing. Would they like an
American foothold?
There are problems of pollution of various sorts which, ironically, are generally associated with the
manufacturing processes here. I've attached a few reference pages from the Internet with regard to this.
2) I would really like to see an electric car factory in Ashland. They can be exported all over. There is presently
a ZAP ("Zero Air Pollution") factory in Santa Rosa, CA. Honda. again, has finished testing and demonstrating
their FC Clarity, and intends production to start in summer of next year. These things run on a lithium battery,
with a range of -270 miles. They will be leasable for $600/month. Again, would they like a foothold on the US
mainland?
Next best would be a facility that converted cars to hybrid. Or we can try for both: electric and hybrid facilities.
3) Geothermal energy is very promising in general, and has particular potential in Oregon. This is, after all,
merely one huge volcanic shield, and you often only have to drill down -200ft to hit some very hot rock. Then
you get steam from it. I view this as both a potential turbine source for Ashland's electricity, and as a research
facility for technology that could get transferred all over. This means big Federal grants, and would probably
involve SOU
4) Then there are many other less glamorous possibilities, not to be snubbed. E.G., there is a rapidly growing
interest in utilizing hemp both for nutritional and textile products. (Check out the stock market.) The raw material
comes mainly from Canada. We still haven't gotten over the phobia about growing it, although this stuff has so
little THC in it you'd have to eat about 50 pounds to get high. I know few with sufficient enthusiasm. Anyway, this
is the ideal place for many such mom n' pop industries.
As a final possibility here, there is growing interest in innovative &lor cost-saving building materials. One
example is the growing enthusiasm for "cob", which is a mixture of clay, sand, and straw. This material is cheap,
highly insulating, fire-proof, and malleable enough for anyone's practical or artistic ends. I suspect this would
appeal to sone Ashlanders.
The majority of the soil in Ashland is alluvial; i.e., a mixture of clay and rock. If one pulverized the rock into fine
gravel, this might substitute for sand. Then you just have to get the straw. This gravel has a much lower silica
content of course, but since, as I understand it, the mixture isn't fired, I don't know what difference it would
amke. The question then is how much digging in our dirt can we tolerate for manufacturing purposes.
There are now cob constructions companies in Portland. Perhaps they'd like a branch office.

SOLAR MYTHS AND FACTS . ITC RESOUR(
SOLAR ENERGY MYTHS AND FACTS
MYTH #1 Solar devices require more energy to manufacture than
they produce in their lifetime.
FACT:
This study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory conclusively demonstrates tha
energy payback for photovoltaics is, in the worst case, less than 4 years. Given that PV
module lifetimes are generally in excess of 20 years,
a PV system will produce far more energy than it
consumes over its lifetime. Technological progress in
the 4 years since the issuance of this report has
tended to bring down the energy consumption of PV
manufacturing yet further, as silicon growth
processes in particular become more efficient.
This particular myth also does not stand up to even a
cursory "sanity check." Imagine a 100 Watt solar panel operates at 80% of rated power fo
8 hours a day, 300 days out of the year.
Over a 20-year lifetime, then, it will generate
(100*.8*8*300*20/1000) 3840 kWh of energy. At
current industrial prices for electricity, that would
represent ca. $230 of electricity, while the panel
itself would sell for ca. $300 in volume
unsubsidized prices. Energy output / input ratios
for concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar
thermal devices are even more favorable, given
their simple manufacture. As best we can
determine, this myth has its origins in the early
history of photovoltaics, when they were
essentially custom-fabricated devices intended for
the military, space, and research markets.

MYTH #2 Solar manufacturing results in more pollution than is
saved by solar usage.
FACT:
As shown in the National Renewable Energy Laboratory study above, a PV system meetil
half of the electrical needs of a typical household would eliminate approximately half a tor
of sulfur dioxide pollution from the air, and ca, 600 Ibs. of nitrogen oxides.

In contrast, the pollutants produced in the manufacturing process are minimal and largely
recycled.
Concentrating solar power devices and solar
thermal devices are essentially specialized
formations of glass, steel, aluminum, and plastics;
their manufacture is comparable to that involved in
making household windows, water heaters, or
mirrors.
Photovoltaic devices are essentially "electric
glass" - their (usually) silicon substrate is a close
relative of window glass, and the processes used
to render it electrically reactive are the same as are
used in the microchip manufacturing industry,
much prized by states and municipalities as a
clean manufacturing process.
MYTH #3 Solar is too expensive for widespread usage.
FACT:
Solar photovoltaic technologies have declined in price every year since they were
introduced onto the market, driven by improved research and development, and most of a
by steady increases in sales volume. (In 1954, approximately one watt of PV generating
devices was manufactured. In 2004, approximately one billion watts will be manufactured
worldwide.)
Every solar panel purchased
makes the next one cheaper, in
stark contrast to nonrenewable
sources, which become scarcer
and more expensive with every ton
that is burned.

PV has recently exploded into a
number of industrial markets,
1916
where it is quite simply the lowest -
cost source of power available.
These include highway warning
signs. rural irrigation applications, and remote electrical and communications devices.
Similarly, for any application more than ca. half a mile away from the electrical grid, a sola
system will likely prove less expensive than will power line construction.

The most rapidly-growing segment of the solar industry is for "grid connected" systems -
rooftop solar panels on homes or businesses that remain connected to the conventional
electrical grid. In some cases, as where electricity is more expensive during the middle of
the day, or when solar is used to support power-critical applications (e.g. banking,
microchip manufacturing,) the economics are very compelling, without further incentives. I
other places. comparatively modest state or Federal incentives (listed comprehensively at

http://www.dsireusa.org) can make solar a great investment for home or business owne
- and better every year. Utilities and large consumers are becoming more conscious of thE
value of solar and other generation sources with the publication of works like "Small is
Profitable" - available at http://www.smallisproftable.org .
MYTH #4 Solar won't work where I live.
FACT:
Solar thermal and photovoltaic devices are dependent on
light, not heat - and this light does not need to be direct.
Put another way. if you can find your way around outside,
a solar panel could be working. The map below shows
solar resources throughout the US . While the Southwest
enjoys particularly good resources, the entire US has
adequate solar resources.
McMurdo, Antarctica
More important than place-to-place variations in solar
intensity is the price of daytime electricity where you live, and the existence of state
incentives for clean energy. A solar contractor in your area can give you a good idea of
whether solar is right for you.

TO THE ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL
December 4, 2007
I wish to state objection and suggestions to the following Agenda Items:
ITEM X, 2
Comments and objections have been raised in the press with which I agree. There must be no
"gag" placed on Council members as to what they discuss with the press. There are sufficient
guidelines have been laid down at the State level as to what topics discussed in Executive
Session are not appropriate for discussion outside of the Council, ie. personnel matters,
pending litigation, land negotiations, etc. These guidelines are sufficient and there is no need
for this Council to expand on them.
SUGGESTED REVISIONS TO Section 2.04.080
~,
Comments have been raised relative to contact and interface between Council Members and
city employees. I believe that any contact with staff, or concerns about city staff performance
should be channeled through the City Administrators office. Council members are certainly
entitled to reference to staff in order to govern effectively. However, the code is presently
ambiguous about the estimation of time required to answer Councilors concerns. There has
also been discussion of potential intimidation or undue pressure on employees. In the interest
of proper management of staff, I therefore suggest that the Code be modified as follows:
A. Councilors may make inquiries of staff to increase their understanding of an issue or
action. All such requests shall be directed to the City Administrator who will evaluate
whether the request will require minimal time of staff to answer and may direct staff
to answer directly. Any request which, in the judgment of the City Administrator,
will require significant staff time or resources (2 hours or more) may be approved by
the City Administrator or referred to the Mayor, City Attorney or to the City Council
for an approval by majority vote.
(E) Councilors with concern about the performance of a particular staff person should
express that concern to the City Administrator, the Mayor or City Attorney. Strike the
words" . . . or to that particular employee's department head."
ITEM X, 3
COUNCILOR HARDESTY'S "GENTLEPERSON'S AGREEMENT
This "agreement" is in part unnecessary, ie. Section 3: Section 2.04.040 states that "the
presiding officer shall be responsible for ensuring order and decorum is maintained"
Respectfully,

ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS TESTIMONY -
States across the nation passed "open government" or
"sunshine laws" in the 1970s because of public concern
about secrecy in government. 9,~~,9.~,~ passed its own
Public Meetings Law in 1973. Like the state's landmark
bottle bill and land use laws that protect farm and
forest land, Oregon's laws on public meetings are
unique and progressive.
Journalists are allowed to sit in on government
executive sessions, which are closed to the public,
but cannot report on information discussed there.
However, if a government official talks about
information discussed in an executive session outside
the session, a reporter may use that information in a
story.
The ~~,~,!~,~~.g,~!!Y...T.!9,~~9.~ is very concerned about
proposed restrictions on the media's right to question
any government official about an executive session.
The city of Ashland is proposing that the City Council
designate the mayor, a councilor or a city staff
person to talk about appropriate details of an
executive session with the press.
According to Jack Orchard, legal counsel for the
9.~~,9.~!~ Newspaper Publishers Association, that new rule
does not conform to Oregon Public Meetings Law.
If the City Council adopts restrictions on executive
sessions, Orchard recommended that the Daily Tidings
initiate discussions with the Oregon Department of
Justice about possible violations of Oregon Public
Meetings Law.
Government officials would be restricted from talking
about details of executive sessions. This is
especially problematic when the City Council discusses
an issue in executive session, where decisions cannot
be made, and then votes on the issue without public
discussion in open session, These situations create
confusion for the public, which looks to the press to
provide an explanation of the vote.
The press has the right to question any city staff
members or elected officials about the meaning of the
vote and should not be restricted to a designated
person or designated people.
Each City Councilor is elected independently by the
citizens of Ashland. When only a designated person is
allowed to 's'pe'aJ<;"especially on a controversial issue,
elected officials lose their right to exercise their
own judgment in speaking to the press and expressing
their own opinions.
These new council rules on executive sessions are
overly broad and regulate more than is necessary, and
are therefore subject to legal challenge. Councilors
already face civil and criminal penalties for
releasing or using executive session information to
benefit themselves or others.
The ~~.~!?!.~~.P.~!!Y...T.!9.~~9.~ asks the City Council to not
adopt these unnecessary changes that potentially
violate the letter and spirit of Oregon's Public
Meetings Law.
