Question:
How will the City Council address the ambulance services program in light of the diminishing revenue
stream associated with the provision of ambulance services?
45 minutes
Staff Recommendation:
Staff will provide background on this issue and will discuss short-term and long-term options with the
Council.
Background:
Historically, the City of Ashland provided ambulance service in the community from 1926 to 1936. In
1936 the ambulance service was purchased by Clarence Litwiller and was operated out of the Litwiller
Funeral Home when the City began experiencing funding and staffing problems in providing the
service. Ashland Life Support purchased the ambulance service from Litwiller's in 1982. Throughout
the ensuing years the City through its fire department provided field support for the ambulance service.
In 1967 the City of Ashland purchased a Chevrolet van to improve the provision of "first-response"
medical aid in support of the private ambulance company. In 1972 the City of Ashland purchased its
first transport-capable ambulance to provide back-up patient transport services for the local ambulance
company.
In 1994 Jackson County Health & Human Services, which regulates ambulance service providers in
Jackson County, determined that Ashland Life Support was not meeting the ambulance service
response standards required by law for the community of Ashland. The fire department was
transporting patients on an increasing basis as ambulances were frequently not immediately available.
On January 2, 1996, the City of Ashland entered into a purchase agreement with Ashland Life Support
for the provision of ambulance services in Ambulance Service Area No.2 in south Jackson County.
The fire department began billing patients in accordance with the Jackson County approved fee
schedule to offset the cost of providing ambulance services. The City of Ashland ambulance service
rate schedule is compatible with fees currently charged by the other two ambulance service providers
in Jackson County, and are within average when compared to the other ambulance service providers
within the State of Oregon. The County Commissioners approved a rate increase request in February
2007 in conjunction with the extension of our Ambulance Service Area contract through December 31,
2010. Our ambulance rate schedule includes automatic CPI adjustments which are calculated on an
annual basis.
On April 1, 2002, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented, as mandated
by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, a fee schedule for the Medicare reimbursement of ambulance
Page I of2
0] ]408 Ambulance Services.CC.doc
~~,

ASHLAND
services. The fee schedule is being implemented in 20% increments over 5 years. Once fully
implemented, the rates established under the new fee schedule will be 27% below the national average
cost, based upon a 1999 Project Hope study, of providing ambulance services to Medicare patients.
With Medicare patients accounting for 63.23% of the ambulance revenue for the City of Ashland, we
are experiencing a financial strain as a result of this below-cost reimbursement level based on the
national fee schedule. The Medicare component of our overall ambulance rate payer mix is steadily
increasing. In this fifth year of the phase-in of the fee schedule, many ambulance providers have
already been forced to reduce service levels, put fewer ambulances on duty or even discontinue
service. Ambulance services in many rural areas are some of the first to show the ill effects from the
proposed fee schedule. In the State of Oklahoma alone, 24 ambulance service providers have gone out
of business since the implementation of the fee schedule. A long-awaited report from the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) on Medicare reimbursement for ambulance providers has concluded that
the cost of providing care to Medicare patients is more than the reimbursement paid. Specifically, the
GAO found that for the years 2001 to 2004, Medicare payments were on average 6% below the
national average cost of providing ambulance services. Ambulance services throughout the U.S. are
currently supporting the inclusion of a two-year 5% Medicare increase for ambulance service providers
in the Medicare physician fix package currently under consideration in Congress.
The study session will provide an opportunity to explore options for enhancing ambulance services
program revenue and provide the city council with information regarding the structure and
performance of the ambulances services program of the City of Ashland.

Process briefing paper November, 2007
This is a three-part effort to create the Rogue Valley Heritage District in Jackson County.
First, the 11 city councils need to approve, allowing their citizens to be part of the district should the
formation be successful; if a council opts out at the start, the city would not be part of the district should
the district be formed. Electors within the city would be unable to sign the petition.
The controlling law is ORS 198.720 (1):
A district may consist of contiguous or noncontiguous territory located in one or more adjoining counties. If any part of the
territory subject to a petition for formation or annexation is within a city, the petition shall be accompanied by a certified
copy of a resolution of the governing body of the city approving the petition.
Second, petitioners must collect signatures from at least 15 percent of the registered voters living within
the proposed district. The petitions would then go to the Board of County Commissioners who would
then 1) set a county-wide vote as part of the November, 2008 general election and 2) call for nominations
for election of the five directors who would govern the Heritage District.
The third part is the election on formation of the district and setting a cap - or limit - on the property tax
rate, and election of the five directors.
The prospective petition to be filed with the county calls for a county-wide district. Should a city council
opt out at the beginning, the petition would be amended before circulation, reflecting that change, and the
economic statement would be amended. Directors would be elected at large. The tax rate would be
capped at seven (7) cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation (which would result in a bit less than $1
million for district distribution when levied for the first time in 2009).
The Jackson County Heritage Association', has worked with Our Heritage PAC to propose a distribution formula for the first year that reserves up to
$100,000 for a preservation and restoration fund, and allocates $900,000 to 14 members of the Heritage Association. If actual first year revenue falls
short, it would reduce the initial allocation to the preservation and restoration fund.

RITAGE MATTERS
ING TO CREATE THE ROGUE VALLEY HERITAGE DISTRICT
Rogue Valley Heritage District
Economic Feasibility Statement
11/12/2007
Description of Services and Functions:
Jackson County was formed by the Oregon Territorial Government in 1852,
seven years before statehood. Its history of human occupation goes back thousands of
years, and the geological history reaches back almost 400 million years. The
proposed district includes all Jackson County which has approximately 198,615
residents and covers 2,801 square miles. Seventy-one percent of Jackson County
residents live in the 11 incorporated cities.
The Rogue Valley Heritage District will support programs of heritage societies
within the district on behalf of the residents of Jackson County. It will operate and
maintain heritage sites and structures and acquire and preserve historical objects and
materials. It will be established under Chapter 562, Oregon Laws 2007 (Enrolled
House Bill 3528). If the petition drive is successful, the formation election will
include a vote to approve a permanent tax rate limit of no more than $0.07 per $1,000
of assessed value.
Analysis ofthe Relationships Between Services and Functions
Economic and Social:
Sixty years ago the citizens of Jackson County realized the need to preserve the
history of the area and approved a permanent property tax levy enabling the
preservation of the old Courthouse in Jacksonville. That launched wide public
interest in history now fostered through 15 community and regional historical
societies and museums. These groups preserve and are responsible for over 3 million
priceless artifacts and photos. They present public exhibits and collect research
materials for use by the general public, scholars and students. They maintain records
for historic community cemeteries, and in some cases physically care for those
properties. They lease and own significant historical properties 1 promoting interest in
our heritage. They sponsor local and regional education programs which enrich the
local public and private school curricula. They operate two research libraries used by
students, writers and the general public.
The 1948 permanent tax levy vanished with passage of statewide ballot Measure
47 in November, 1996. In following years, Jackson County government reduced the
amount of annual distribution and in April 2007, made its last grant to the historical
societies and museums, forcing an increase in volunteer support and private fund
raIsmg.
1Among the most visible publicly-owned properties maintained by Southern Oregon
Historical Society are the 1883 courthouse building and adjoining jail, the U.S. Hotel,
Beekman Bank, Beekman House and Catholic Rectory, all located in Jacksonville.
Despite this effort, the monies raised and additional volunteer support still leave
members of the Jackson County Heritage Association2 struggling financially. Funds
to protect historic resources - most ofthem publicly owned - have proven
insufficient for the task. Educational programs are being curtailed, and facilities that
attract tourists and scholars are open fewer hours.
Members of the Jackson County Heritage Association have partnered with
regional groups, including the Southern Oregon Visitors Association, that strengthen
the region's economy by marketing the local area as a preferred destination for
meetings, conventions and leisure travel. The museum and heritage associations are a
window to state and regional history for visitors and residents to enjoy. Thus, not
only do the societies preserve the region's history -- vital to our cultural needs - but
they also provide a direct economic benefit to the county and its communities. Last
year, Southern Oregon attractions generated $334,500,000 in visitor spending and
more than 4,250 tourism-related jobs [Source: Travel Oregon - Dean Ruyan Report
2007]. Out of area attendance at historic attractions (estimated at one-third total
visitors) generated more than $3 million each year in the period 2001 through 2003.
Limited operational hours caused by declining budgets affected attendance.
Over the past three years regional visitor numbers have increased, but the 15
historical organizations and their educational program services have shown a drastic
decline in visitor and student numbers. The estimated visitor spending for 2005-2006
is down to $2.2 million. Data for 2006-2007 is incomplete. From 2003 to 2006 school
visits have dropped by 37 percent and overall visitors by 85 percent. It is very
possible that with museum operational hours shortened, visitors stayed in the area
fewer days, resulting in economic loss for the county and its communities. If every
visitor stayed one more day, revenue would increase by 30 percent - a $10 million
gain in local visitor spending. Visitor spending per day, adjusted for Jackson County,
is currently figured at $125 including food, lodging and incidental purchases.
Governmental:
In addition to generating tourist spending that boosts the local economy, the
heritage associations are resources for the cities and county government. Their
expertise helps local governments comply with Goal 5 of Oregon's Land
Conservation and Development Commission. It requires local government programs
"that will protect natural resources and conserve scenic, historic, and open space
resources for present and future generations."
2Members of the Jackson County Heritage Association are Applegate Valley Historical
Society, Big Butte Historical Society, Camp White Historical Association and Museum,
Eagle Point Historical Society and Museum, Gold Hill Historical Society and Museum,
Lake Creek Historical Society, McKee Bridge Historical Society, Phoenix Historical
Society, Rogue Valley Genealogical Society, Southern Oregon Chapter of the National
Railway Historical Society, Southern Oregon Historical Society, Talent Historical Society,
Upper Rogue Historical Society, Woodville Museum, and Buncom Historical Society.

Question:
Should the City Council waive the second penalty and related interest on the delinquent Food and
Beverage (Meals Tax) Tax for Geppetto's Restaurant's activity for the month of April, 2007?
Staff Recommendation:
The tax, penalties and interest were calculated per the Ashland Municipal Code. The appeal letter does
not provide a basis for waiving the tax, second penalty or interest that has accrued. Staff recommends
Council direct the operator to pay all amounts owing immediately.
Background:
In 2004 the City Council changed the Ashland Municipal Code to give food and beverage operators an
extra month to pay a delinquent tax to avoid a second penalty. This change was part of several
recommendations made by Ron Roth during 2003. The prior code required payment 25 days after the
end of the period for which the tax was collected and a second penalty 30 days later. This was
changed to a first penalty at the end of the month following the period the tax was collected and a
second penalty to be applied 60 days following the due date.
This appeal originates from tax revenue collected by Geppetto's during April 2007 with reporting and
payment due into the City on May 31st. A tax report and payment of$2218.35 was not mailed to the
City until August 13, 2007. Between May 31 st and August 13th an estimate of $2500 was made by City
staff on June 12. A penalty of $250 was assessed effective May 31 st and interest began accruing June
1 st at 1 % per month. Mr. Roth had the opportunity to appeal this estimate within 30 days of receiving
the estimate. The appeal deadline ended on or about July 15th. A second penalty was assessed on July
31 st. All of this was done according to the current Ashland Municipal code. The unpaid amount as of
December 31, 2007, is $865.67.
The delay in this appeal is from several exchanges in correspondences including a request from staff
for additional information for the basis of an appeal. Geppetto's' November 29,2007, letter identifies
three points which are more related to suggested changes in the code rather than basis for an appeal of
the amount owing. Staff recommends Council deny the appeal because Mr. Roth is not disputing the
amount levied or that staff has correctly applied the code.
Attached are the various correspondences, excerpts of the City Code, one summary sheet of charges.
Omitted are some items due to confidentiality or redundancy.

City of Ashland Municipal Code Chapter 1.08.
Council Options:
Council may require Geppetto's to pay all amounts owing immediately or may waive any penalty
amount and/or accrued interest as it deems appropriate. Council may charge additional amounts based
upon Section 4.34.120 which allows the City to determine the delinquent reporting and payments as
"an infraction.. . punished as set forth in Section 1.08.020..." which is a fine of up to $500 per day the
tax is delinquent or based upon the existing settlement agreement approved by council in April, 2005.
Council could also direct staff to bring forward proposed changes in the municipal code at a later date.
Potential Motions:
0. Council moves to accept the staff recommendation and require immediate payment of$865.67.
B. Council moves to accept the staff recommendation and add additional charges per Section
1.08.020 and/or the existing settlement agreement from 2005, requiring immediate payment
upon receipt of a demand letter from the City Attorney.
C. Council moves to accept the appeal and reduce the amount by $ (such as directing
staff to recalculate all amounts owing based upon the actual tax amount reported ($2218.35)
equates to an outstanding balance of $508.08) and requires Geppetto's to pay the revised
amount immediately.

On or after July], ] 993, every operator shall, on or before the last day of the month following the end of
each calendar quarter (in the months of April, July, October and January), make a return to the director,
on forms provided by the City, specifying the total sales subject to this chapter and the amount of tax
collected under this chapter. At the time the return is filed, the full amount of the tax collected shall be
remitted to the director. A return shall not be considered filed until it is actually received by the director.
Payments received by the director for application against existing liabilities will be credited toward the
period designated by the taxpayer under conditions which are not prejudicial to the interest of the City. A
condition which is considered prejudicial is the imminent expiration of the statute of limitations for a
period or periods. Nondesignated payments shall be applied in the order of the oldest liability first, with
the payment credited first toward any accrued penalty, then to interest, then to the underlying tax until
the payment is exhausted. Crediting of a payment toward a specific reporting period will be first applied
against any accrued penalty, then to interest, then to the underlying tax. The director, when in the
director's discretion determines that it will be in the best interest of the City, may specify that a different
order of payment credit should be followed with regard to a particular tax or factual situation. The
director may establish shorter reporting periods for any operator if the director deems it necessary in
order to insure collection of the tax and the director may require further information in the return relevant
to payment of the liability. When a shorter return period is required, penalties and interest shall be
computed according to the shorter return period. Returns and payments are due immediately upon
cessation of business for any reason. All taxes collected by operators pursuant to this chapter shall be
held in trust for the account of the City until payment is made to the director. A separate trust bank
account is not required in order to comply with this provision. (Ord 2885, Amended, 08/06/2002; Ord
2903,01/06/04)
The amendments to Section 4.34.050 shall be considered effective as of January 1, 2003. Any operator
which may be entitled to a refund or a credit for penalties assessed and paid due to the application of
payments pursuant to AMC Section 4.34.050 as it existed prior to enactment of this ordinance, but after
January 1, 2003, must file a written claim within 30 days from the effective date of this ordinance for a
refund of such penalties with the director. Upon receipt of a written claim for refund of penalties
assessed, the director will, within 30 calendar days, make a determination as to whether any refund is
due. In the event a refund is due, an operator may claim a refund, or take as credit against taxes collected
and remitted, the amount overpaid, paid more than once or erroneously or illegally collected or received
in a manner prescribed by the director. The operator shall notify director of the operator's choice no later
than 15 days following the date director mailed the determination. In the event the operator has not
notified the director of the operator's choice within the 15 day period and the operator is still in business,
a credit will be granted against the tax liability for the next reporting period, if the operator is no longer
in business, a refund check will be mailed to claimant at the address provided in the claim form. Any
operator who fails to file a claim for refund as set forth in this subsection shall be deemed to have waived
any entitlement to refund of overpayment of penalties.

fraud, a penalty of 25% percent of the amount of the tax shall be added thereto in addition to the
penalties stated in subparagraphs A and B of this section.

operator the tax, interest and penalties provided for by this chapter. In case such determination is made,

and penalties, if any, may appeal to the city council by filing a notice of appeal with the city
administrator within 30 days of the serving or mailing of the determination of tax due. The council shall
fix a time and place for hearing such appeal, and the city administrator shall give five days written notice

hear and consider any records and evidence presented bearing upon the director's determination of
amount due, and make findings affirming, reversing or modifying the determination. The findings of the
council shall be final and conclusive, and shall be served upon the appellant in the manner prescribed

times.
SECTION 4.34.100 Refunds.
A. Whenever the amount of any tax, interest or penalty has been overpaid or paid more than once, or has
been erroneously or illegally collected or received by the city under this chapter, it may be refunded
as provided in subparagraph B of this section, provided a claim in writing, stating under penalty of
perjury the specific grounds upon which the claim is founded, is filed with the director within one
year of the date of payment. The claim shall be on forms furnished by the director.
B. The director shall have 20 calendar days from the date of receipt of a claim to review the claim and
make a determination in writing as to the validity of the claim. The director shall notifY the claimant
in writing of the director's determination. Such notice shall be mailed to the address provided by
claimant on the claim form. In the event a claim is determined by the director to be a valid claim, an
operator may claim a refund, or take as credit against taxes collected and remitted, the amount
overpaid, paid more than once or erroneously or illegally collected or received in a manner
prescribed by the director. The operator shall notify director of claimant's choice no later than 15
days following the date director mailed the determination. In the event claimant has not notified the
director of claimant's choice within the 15 day period and the operator is still in business, a credit
will be granted against the tax liability for the next reporting period, if the operator is no longer in
business, a refund check will be mailed to claimant at the address provided in the claim form.
C. No refund shall be paid under the provisions of this section unless the claimant established the right
by written records showing entitlement to such refund and the director acknowledged the validity of
the claim.

Any tax required to be paid by any operator under the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed a debt
owed by the operator to the city. Any such tax collected by an operator which has not been paid to the
city shall be deemed a debt owed by the operator to the city. Any person owing money to the city under
the provisions of this chapter shall be liable to an action brought in the name of the City Of Ashland for
the recovery of such amount. In lieu of filing an action for the recovery, the City of Ashland, when
taxes due are more than 30 days delinquent, can submit any outstanding tax to a collection agency. So

an appeal regarding your food and beverage tax payment penalties can go before the City

Ashland, Oregon 97520
Dear Mr. Roth:
I am in receipt of your August 24, 2007 letter to Richard Appicello requesting to "appeal all
penalties and interest" incurred as regards your meals tax account. As you know, under the City
Code all appeals must be filed with the City Administrator.
Based upon my April 2007 correspondence to you, I believe you are aware that an appeal
pursuant to AMC 4.34.080 must be filed within thirty (30) days of service of the estimated tax
and penalty. Accordingly, your attempted appeal of the Jun~ 12, 2007 estimated tax and the
May 31, 2007 penalty and associated interest is late and cannot be considered by the City
Council. The code also specifies that only the City Council can hear an appeal of a tax or
penalty, so it is inappropriate to request that the Acting City Attorney consider your appeal.
You may appeal the July 31,2007 "second penalty" ($275.00) because it is timely fiIed. I will
schedule an appeal with the City Council pursuant to AMC 4.34.080 on this second penalty. I
have tentatively scheduled that discussion for September 18, 2007.
As I told you in my April letter to you, staff believes that the terms of the March 3 I, 2005
settlement agreement between the City and yourself (and other parties) pertain to this issue. In
that agreement, the City agreed to stay all of the penalties due from previous delinquencies "so
long as Taxpayers comply with the terms and conditions of this agreement. . . for a period of
fi ve years." One of the terms and conditions was that the payments for Geppetto' s remain current
for five years.
The remainder of the charges are final and will be referred to a collection agency as set forth in
Mr. Appicello's letter.

RE: Delinquent Food and Beverage Tax
We are in receipt of your payment of $2,218.35 for the delinquent food and beverage tax for
the month of April, 2007. Thank you for your payment, however, since your Food and
Beverage Tax Return was not received by the deadline of 5-31-07, pursuant to Chapter 4.34
of the Ashland Municipal Code, the City Finance Department sent notification to you on June
12,2007 of the estimated amount due. The Municipal Code indicates that you had 30 days to
appeal the estimate or the estimate becomes the final amount due and payable. With interest
and penalties, there is still a balance owing in the amount of $831.90. Enclosed is a summary
of your tax account. Interest continues to accrue at the rate of 1 % per month on all
delinquent amounts, excluding penalties assessed.
This letter serves as formal notice to you that if the remaining amount due on your account is
not received in my office by Monday, August 27, 2007,.the city will turn your account over to a
collection agency. The Ashland Municipal Code allows us to recover the collection agency
fee, which could be as high as 50% of the amount due. This fee would be added to your total
amount due.

Re: Missing report
Customer No. 000367
Dear Mr. Roth,
I have been informed that you did not report or make payment on the Food and Beverage tax for the
month ending April 30,2007. The report and payment for the April taxes were due in this office by
May 31,2007.
I have reviewed the reports and payments for the prior periods and estimate the tax owing to be
$2,500.00. Including penalties, the amount you now owe the City of Ashland for the April report
is $2,750.00.
This letter and the calculations are in keeping with the Ashland Municipal Code.
Please submit your payment of $2,750.00 by June 26,2007. If we do not receive payment, your
account can be turned over to a collection agency and will be subject to additional fees.
If you have any questions, please contact Judy Taus in our Customer Service Division at 488-6004.

By D@yi(i Me Meehan
Of The Tidings
With two exceptions, every res-

prOposed food and beverage tax.

taxproposal," Roth said'Thursday
night. "My position is that we
should let the voters decide. "
This month, Roth donated.5
percent of every-Thursday night's
proceeds to. the city's open space
program, an idea he said was in-
spired by the Save Mount Ashland
campaign. .
. ,,' 'We considered doing this
even befo(e the council voted to

Roth said.

oppose' the rne~sure.
"Cathy Golqen is arepresenta-
tive of the city in everything she
does," Donov~m said. "Themes-
\.
sage being sent loud and clear is
that, if you oppose the city's
policy, you may find that the city
no longer does business with you.
That's very disturbing to me. "

80 restaurants in Ashland, the
Ashland LOdgingAssociation, the

several years as potential parks,
and the sites. will not be available
if the city does not act.
"Ashland has become very
popular, and the si tes are
developable sites," Erwin said.
"The whOle club feels that it is
important to have these park
facilities for the whole
community. "

Time is crucial for the MASA organizers
to raise the required funds for the pur-
chase of Ski Ashland and YOl"lt:,help: is
needed to make this purchas~<\:.i~ality.
The Ashland Chamber of Co.ITurt~rce is
and has always been very supportive of
Mt. AShland and its viability. Through-
out the years, we have supported the .~x-
pansion plans of Ski Ashland for the
future growth of winter business. The
Chamber has recentlY"t'iWnade a $4,000
contribution to MASA, has offered
support in fundraising and organizes!

Ron Roth and Ka!h-
letter to the editor, we
need to be repeated:
"Why should the community dig
deep to contribute to save Mt. Ash-
land? Because it is a community
thing to do. Skiers especially should
contribute because the mountain
they save will be their own.
"Not only is this our last best hope
but it is the way it should be done
because:
" -The ski area is in the watershed
and city ownership would give
more control over our water
"- Local citizen ownership
we can have input in our
mountain.
"-All will remain in
with community
to what to do with said
" -The economic impact of the
while difficult to pinpoint
exactly, is millions of dollars an-
nually.
"-Seasonal employment at Mt.
Ashland balances with summer
tourist-related employment for many
people.
" -The very existence of the ski
area is a recruiting tool for college
students and staff, and other in-
teresting people who like to ski.
"-If the ski area closed, the road
would probably not be plowed, se-
verely limiting access for cross-
country skiers, tubers, and snow-
person builders.
"-In the middle of winter Mt.
Ashland is often the best, and some-
times the only, place to get in the sun
and breathe fresh air.
" -Teaching your children to ski

to ski is a

U~Sk.iing is fun' ,
"Despite opinions to the contrary, Mt.
Ashland is a viable ski area, both eco-
nomically and as a plac~ to ski. We have
seen st~p-by-step improvements made
since 1278, the net result being that the
physical plant at Mt. Ashland is in the
best cOJldition ever.
uRev~~w of financial data provided by
Ski A$11land shows that the mountain
has op~rated profitably for six of the last
eight Yfars, with two years where they

where:~rey lost money. Eight-year aver-
age pO$ltive cash flow is $141,500.
uThe~,afteNchool ski program is a
tremen'Uous success with over 400 kids
being ~ble to ski at an affordable rate.

Ashland Public Library Opens October 241
Jackson County Commissioners decided in
September to reopen the Jackson County
public libraries by spreading out the one
year extension of federal timber subsidy
funding over three years. The Ashland Pub-
lic Library and the central library in Med-
ford are the first libraries to open on Oc-
tober 24 and other libraries in the system
will be open in November.
Oregon Poet Laureate Lawson 1nada was
on hand and Ashland Police Officer Malcus

Af ter the grief and anger of the li-
brary's April 2007 closing it was a wel-
come release to sing and dance to-
gether at the Barbecue For Books, a
community celebration in support of
the Ashland Public Library on Saturday
September 8.
Hundreds gathered at Eagle Mill
Farm to enJoy chicken barbecue and
vegiburgers, local beer and wine and
blackberry picking. Foot stompin', hand
clappin' music from Pam Galusha &
Pachanga, Craig Wright, Duane & Bob
and Frankie Hernandez roused every-
one at the beautiful valley farm. Dogs
gamboled about, kids shouted and par-
ents played under the huge shady oaks
that surround the fields, a perfect day.

Ashland Measure 15-79
More,than 57'7'0 of Ashland's regis-
tered voters cast their ballot in the
September 2007 in election for Bal-
lot Measure 15-79. 74'7'0 of these
voted for the measure, to fund the
library by raising property taxes up
to $.58 per $1,000 of assessed
value for two years beginning July 1,
2007. The assessment will be $.20
in the first year and $.25 in the
second year.
With the success of Ballot Meas-
ure 15-79, Ashland Public Library
will be open for 40 hours a week,
increasing access from 24 hours a
week under county funding. If Jack-
:2:5i
son County Commissioners had de-
cided not to fund the libraries, Bal-
lot Measure 15-79 would have in-
sured that the Ashland Public Li-
brary could re-open it's doors.
COAL (Campaign to Open Ashland
library) co-chair Pam Vavra says,
"Volunteers who made phone calls,
walked neighborhoods, staffed tables
and helped with so many other tasks
were vital to the victory."
Thank You Ashland!
What We Can Expect
Library Systems and Services, Inc
(LSSI) of Maryland has been
awarded the management contract
for the Jackson County publiC li-
brary system and is busy getting
the libraries up and running. Inter-
views for open positions were con-
ducted early in October so many of
the faces that we've come to know
and trust will be back on desk and in
the stacks before long. Many of the
familiar faces are returning, some
have retired, some have other jobs
but you will recognize your old
friends. Among them is Amy Blos-
som, who returns to the library
.; as Manager of the Ashland
'1'JI! Branch.
LSSI has years of experience
in running public libraries, and
currently manages the public li-
t:. braries of the city of Redding
t~1 and county of Riverside County,
~
, .~
California as well as others through-
out the country.
"There is a new energy coming
from the management philosophy of
LSSI - they are librarians who
know their business, and are dedi-
cated to good public service," says
Amy Blossom. "Their encouragement
to try new things and make the li-
brary even more accessible IS
shown, for example, in the change
of hours. We are challenged by be-
Ing open only 40 hours a week, but
think we have a great new sched-
