MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL March, 3, 1987 Mayor Medaris led the Pledge of Allegiance and called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M. on the "above date in the Council Chambers. E1erath, Reid, Bennett, Acklin, Laws and Arnold were present, Bennett moved to approve minutes of the regular meeting and executive session of February 17, 1987; Reid seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice vote. The City Administrator reviewed the concept of incorporating all of the capital improvement needs into one document first drafted in October of 1984. Almquist said that the City Council reiterated its goal of adopting the Capital Improvement program in 1987 with some changes at the February 1986 goals session, Almquist showed the cost breakdown of the six basic categories and requirements for future bond issues and said the City Council should be looking at the general plan for the next five years and the plan will be reviewed on an annual basis,with specific actions by City Council and the Budget Committee, The Mayor opened the public hearing and Al Wi11- statter, 128 Central Street said he had picked up the Capital Improvements data and didn't know there was going to be a public hearing, It was noted that the public hearing had been advertised in the legal section of the local newspaper, was noted in the mini agenda published and also the subject of a news story. In the absence of any other comment from the audience,' the public hearing was closed, Bennett moved to accept the capital improvement program as a guideline for the City; Acklin seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice vote. A letter from the Chamber of Commerce was read requesting certain street closures for the traditional Fourth of July parade and other events and Arnold moved to approve; Elerath seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice vote. A letter from }ffi. Kyle Meisner requesting permission for stud- ents of the AMS to use the downtown area for skateboarding for a video the students are making to send to East Asia was read, Jennie Bergstrom reviewed the plans for making the video and noted the activities would be supervised by teachers and other adults, E1erath asked the student if the video would deliver the message that students can do something which is illegal and Kim Kiley who had reviewed the plans said she didn't think they would get that impression. Bennett noted as chairman of the Bikeway Committee she is concerned about the skateboarding since it is illegal in the City. Jane' Morgan, the 7th grade teacher supervising the event said that every effort will be made to keep the event safe and under control at all times, Acklin moved to approve as long as guidelines are followed; Reid seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice voteo 3(3(87 P. 1 :ular Meeting' , . , , , '\, , GOLF COURSE EXPANSION NEW & MISCELLANEOUS BUS. Bi-mart Liquor License Audit Services-Contract Ashland City Council' 3/3/87 'P; 2 Ken Mickelson reviewed recent negotiations with the Lessee of Oak Knoll Golf Course as it relates to the proposed expansion and reported that a concept of having the present Lessee con- tinue to run the golf course and when bonds for expansion are used for the project that the Lessee will retire those bonds rather than the City as was previously planned. Mickelson said that Oak Knoll, ,Enterprises would be responsible for maintenance and operation of the golf course facility and it is a different approach than the concessionary concept. Mickelson said that Oak Knoll Enterprises is now studying the lease concept and will report to the next meeting. Reid asked if there would be a different cost concept with the new proposal and Mickelson said the cost factors for expansion would remain the same but that Oak Knoll would make the payment to the City for retirement of bancroft':bond debt. On Reid's question relative to taxes, the City Attorney said the taxes would be forestalled until a different plan is adopted. On question as to whether the City would be looking at a whole new proposal, Mickelson stated that the only change would be Oak Knoll's responsibility to pay the bonds off and noted that during negotiations it has been difficult to arrive at an acceptable conclusion as it relates to the concessionary concept. Reid asked if there would be another public hearing and Laws said the public would be given an opportunity to speak when the matter comes up on the agenda. Acklin moved to approve the liquor license'change of ownership as applied for by Bi-mart Company; Bennett seconded the motion which passed ,unanimously on voice vote. Medaris noted coopera- tion by Bi-mart relative to the debris collection in the ditch adjoining Bi-mart. A memo from the Director of Finance was read noting that only one bid was received when proposals were called for on the City audit and that it was received from present auditor Gerald Burns. Minutes of the Audit Committee were reviewed recommending that Council accept Burns' proposal and Reid said she would like to see the letter that went out for bids which went out late and called for people to go to Burns' office for the informationo The Mayor said he knew of no dissention on the Audit Committee relative to awarding the bid to Burns and said it must have been a visitor or spectator 'at the Audit Meeting at which time the recommendation was made to retain the services of Burns. Arnold agreed there was no dissention among members of the committee. Elerath asked what members were present to make the decision and the Mayor said that he polled Prickett and Cooper who agreed on awarding the bid to Burnso Arnold moved to accept recommendation of Audit Committee; Laws seconded the motion which passed with Reid, Bennett, Acklin, Laws and Arnold voting YES. Elerath opposed. 3/3/87 P. 2 ,gular Meeting - , . 'Ashland City'r.ounci1' . '3/3/87'P.3 . , . Drive-up Windows A memo from the City Administration requesting clarification of drive-up window regulations because of an application pend- ing before the Planning Commission which includes a request for a drive-up window and the possible sale of same by a person having a drive-up window at another location was read. The memo cited need for clarification as to whether the original maximum of 12 windows with additional windows'a11owable for each additional population increase of 1250 be site specific to run with the land or whether the permits may be bought or sold in order to transfer to another location. Almquist said he understood that if the use of one of the drive-up windows was discontinued over a period of six months that it would be treated as a nonconforming use. Acklin felt it would run with the land and if new window was applied for then it would be treated by the site review process. On Reid's question as to how the decision as to who would have the next drive-up window Acklin said the first person to apply and qualify for a drive-up window under the attached Section 18.72.105 would get the privilege. E1erath noted after editorial comment in the local newspaper and other publicity he contacted DEQ in Portland and was told the significance of C.O. caused by windows was not a problem and that the affect of idling would be less than stop- ping the motor and starting it up again. E1erath moved to delete the 8th condition of the Section calling for a limit of twelve windows. Arnold said he was opposed to what Council was doing since there is a planning action going on. Laws stated that a clarification is necessary to preclude the expense of a possible appeal of the Planning Commission's decision and that clarification is necessary at this time. Salter noted he has a problem with the word "new" in the eighth condition. Acklin noted the amendment was a compromise when it was written and recalled she was working with I & M at the time and that it was not felt that Carbon ~dioxide was a problem. Acklin added it was her understanding that when one of the twelve grandfathered in was dropped, then anyone could apply for the available drive-up window, and it was used for a guideline. Bennett felt that selling the privilege of a drive-up window was not the original intent. Rich Hansen, 1390 Tolman Creek Road spoke from the audience saying that restrictions being discussed will create a negative a~dhunwarranted.business climate for the Citv. .Hansen said you mlg t alSO consl0er del1very ot plzzas causlng alr POllutlon. Al Wills tatter said he didn't recall that 12 was a magic number and if Council is concerned with carbon dioxide they might look into the mail box si~uation. Barbara Allen ,noted that ,had.iec!"ntly' " bought the building and understood the drive-up wind~ had value and the the Planning Department suggested it "could be sold if,ludt needed. City Attorney.

The City Attorney advised that it would be appropriate to amend the ordinance to show intent. Arnold said he would agree with the City Attorney as long as Council acted prospectively. On Reid's question as to whether the drive-up window would be "site specific" Laws said it would not. Acklin said that if a drive-up window is boarded up it is considered to be abandoned Laws noted Council was concerned only with the number of windows and if the property owner doesn't use it, it can be sold. Arnold moved to take no action on the matter and wait until an action comes before Council specifically; Bennett seconded the motion. On roll call Bennett and Arnold voted in favor; Laws, Acklin, Reid and E1erath opposed and the motion failed. Laws moved that interpretation be that 12 drive-up windows in exist- ence in July of 1984 remain operable or can be sold or transfer- red to new location; Acklin seconded the motion. On voice vote Elerath, Reid, Acklin and Laws voted in favor; Bennett and Arnold opposed. The City Attorney affirmed the motion by declaring that the number of drive-up windows will not exceed 12 plus one additional for each 1250 increase in population. Laws moved to adopt standards for Fixed Base Operator for the Ashland Municipal Airport; Bennett seconded the motion. E1erath asked about the F.B.O. carrying insurance and noted that most airplanes are worth $100,000. The City Attorney noted that the. insurance is required in the lease. On voice vote the motion passed without opposition. No comment from the audience. Second reading by title only was given an ordinance levying assessments in Local Improvement District No. 57 and Laws moved for adoption; Acklin seconded the motion which passed unani- mously on roll call vote. (Ref. Ord. 2416) First reading was given an ordinance adding Chapter 2.68. Arnold noted that the ordinance presented went through several drafts working toward a specific definition of public benefit which could be used as it comes before the Historic Commission and asked that the last sentence in the 3rd pp be deleted. Reid asked Arnold for clarification on criteria relative to 2.68.010 (Public Benefit) and asked what would keep her from applying for tax freeze if all four conditions were not necess- ary in rehabilitation requirements of a building. George Kramer, Chair of the Historic Commission said it was the intention of the Historic Commission in wording the ordinance to assure that there would be some effort to keept the structure in viable condition. Acklin said that only the necessary of the four conditions be required but the ones applicable would be utilized Elerath asked if the interior of the home is altered would it change the historic designation and Kramer said it would still be a historic house. .. ..0 continued 3/3/87 P. 4 ~ular Meeting . , , Historic Buildings cont.

Salter said if they do nothing, they get nothing. Salter said the intent is to restore and protect the integrity of the historic building. Bennett moved to second reading as amended; Reid seconded the motion which passed unanimously on roll call vote. Resolution concerning parking 'restrictions and limitations at certain locations was read and Laws moved to adopt; Acklin seconded the motion which passed unanimously on roll call vote.

Director of Pub11C Works Alsing reviewed a p an which would retain the roads system at a reasonable rate throughout the State with the combination of city/county/state revenues. . Alsing noted there is a gap of $21 billion and the six year goal is about $1.2 billion which could be raised for about half of the funding needed for that period of time. Alsing said that 225 cities are involved in the effort and if some- thing isn't done by the Year 2004, all streets would be classed as being in "poor" condition.. Alsing cited the different ways the revenue would be raised and Almquist read the resolu- tion endorsing a six-year transportation financing strategy. Bennett moved for adoption; Reid seconded the motion which passed w.i~h:'.Reid, Bennett,' Acklin" ::Lgws and Arnold voting YES. Elerath opposed. A memo' from the Director of Finance.was read relative to'a request by. the Hospital Board for revision".of the 86-87 budget for the Hospital and a resolution increasing total nonproperty tax resource estimates and increasing materials and services appropriations was read. On question of Laws relative to the $425,000 beginning balance and the rationale for that paragraph, Almquist said he would contact Finance Director Nelson for an explanation and get back to Laws. Arnold moved to adopt; Reid seconded the motion which passed unanimously on roll call vote. A resolution transferring appropriations within a fund was read and Laws moved to adopt; Arnold seconded the motion which passed unanimously on roll call vote. 3/3/87 P. 5 gular 'Meeting Ashland City'Council' 3/3/87P;6 , , OTHER BUSINESS FROM MEMBERS H.S.

Flo,^,e,.e March 9, .1987 Mayor Gordon Medaris City of Ashland 20 East Main St. Ashland,Oregon 97520 Dear Mayor Medar~s: We are currently making a concerted effort to prepare an economic development strategy for Curry County in response to requests from Governor Goldschmidt and Senator Bill Bradbury. The theme of our program will be to promote and support everything that is good for Southwestern Oregon. Our particular focus is directed toward fishery enhancement, retirement and touri~m development in Curry County. We have been encouraged to coord~nate our ,efforts with Coos and Douglas Counties to the North and with Josephine, Jackson, Klamath and lake Counties to the East, and that is the purpose of this letter. We are doing everything within our power to maintain the health and vigor of the commercial fishing and forest products industries in our county. But automation and economic circumstances which we are powerless to influence or control continue to reduce the job potential of that traditional industrial base. It is still exceedingly important and deserving of our earnest consideration but the truth is that we must pursue economic diversification by seeking alternative industrial activity. We believe this can best be accomplished in Curry County and in Brookings by turning our attention to tourism, fishery enhancement and retirement, and by broadening the recreation opportunities available to tourists and retirees even beyond our present capabilities. Brookings weather is legendary and our scenery is unsurpassed. Together with Gold Beach and Port Orford we offer some of the finest ocean and river fishing, sightseeing and ,back country activities in the world. These activities are continually being expanded with port improvements and riverside boating and fishing facilities. They already draw many visitors and retirees to Curry County. But these activities are also weather dependent and seasonal beyond our control. We find a compelling need for alternative activities which compliment existing assets and provide additional recreational choices for local and regional residents, tourists, retirees and guests. Variety and alternative choices will motivate the tourist to stay longer and the retirement community to grow. These people become clients, customers and sightseers throughout Curry County and Southwestern Oregon, to the advantage of everyone. ~ihe_,C1ty'-o-i -Orook1n9s tias b'eeti-W-O'rkfiig'-dITIgentlywft-h South Coast '!-rumber Company for the acquisition of a 130 acre site as the '":locatlon of an IS-h,ole golf course; 'This site will soon be donated, ~to the City for development. It Is our firm belief that such a facility can do more to provide expanded recreational opportunity: and economic growth throughout Curry County, than any ~ther slngl~ activity. One must presently trav~l over 100 miles from Srooklngs , to enjoy play on an IS-hole golf course. Golf may well be the 'fastest growing and most attractive adult recreation activity In America today. Many tourists now limit their stay and move on quickly to places where they find golf courses. By e~tendlng the visitor's time In Curry County, and by expanding our attraction for retirees, every aspect of our economy will benefit. We will be most Interested to. learn if there are ways In which our strategy can compliment the economic interests of our neighbors. Please bring this matter to the attention of your City Council for their consideration. We welcome your comments and solicit your support and offer our reciprocal support for the strategy you adopt. Please let us know how we can coordinate our efforts and promote our community and regional strengths and our mutual welfare. What is good for Southwest Oregon will certainly be good for each of us!

I will be requesting the Council to approve 1,606 dollars for preparation of a proposal for a Public Access Television program for the City of Ashland. There has ,been considerable effort invested in researching Public Access this past year, inc~uding formation of a committee to study the possible fund- ing and administration set up of such an institution. I feel the time has come to develop' a definite proposal so that action can be taken to make this concept a reality in the ne~t year. A public access channel would be of great benefit to the community, the municioality and the communications program at Southern Oregon State College. There has been a great deal of positive response to the idea from all of the above and it is my opinion that the Council will find support for my proposal at the meeting Tuesday evening.

ASHLAND MUNICIPAL POWERHOUSE Jackson County Ashland Creek, vicinity of Ashland The power plant is one component of the hydroelectric project developed for the City of Ashland from 1908 onward. While it.is the focal point of the power-generating system, it functioned in relation to an impound- ment, penstock, raceway, and so forth. Ideally, all components of the historic system would be proposed for nom- ination as a linear historic district. If the comprehensive approach is infeasible, the power plant should be nominated with enough area to provide a functional context. In our view, the minimum area to make a val id nom- ination wouldfficompass more of the immediate setting of.the powerhouse and include the concrete-linedraceway channel. At the City's discretion, the water treatment buildings might be included as non-historic features. The following items are recommended to complete the documentation. 1. A metes and bounds description of the nominated area. The boundary need not.be a surveyed line. The point of beginning may be the point of intersection of a line of convenience, such as a section line, with the bank of Ashland Creek. Distances can be scaled from a map. 2. Acreage of the nominated area. 3. Site map showing the boundary of the nominated area and the positions of historic features. within the boundary. 4. Statement briefly describing the functional operation of the system as a whole, indicating the distance traversed by penstock to the powerhouse, and so forth. 5. Brief statement justifying nomination of one functionaf unit of the system as opposed to the whole. In addition, it is recommended that the following questions be considered. 1. When was the title "Reeder Gulch Power Plant" first applied to the project? 2. What original equipment remains in the powerhouse? It will be necessary to list historic equipment on the premises, and display items, such as sections of wood stave penstock, should be distinguished from operating equipment. 3. Is the building of concrete construction with brick veneer, or are the walls of brick construction above the sandstone ground course? 4. Information on this property added to the Statewide Inventory of Historic Properties in 1979 identifies the building as the second plant of the Ashland Electric Power and Light Company. We assume the Inventory Data Sheet (No. 15) is in error. Can this discrepancy be clarified? . . -"\ / STATE OF OREGON INVENTCRY OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES State Historic.

The company began with 150 stock shares with a total lalue of $15,000. On January 30, 1889, the City of Ashland issued Ordinance #62, granting 1 perpetual franchise for the company. Water rights and land were purchased in 1889. The First plant was constructed on the present site of the tennis courts in Lithia Park. )isputes' over the ownership of water rights arose with the city in January 1891. The :ompany was victorious, in the squabble. Around 1895, the first site was sold and the Jperations moved fo' the present location. Between 1900 and 1908, the company experienced 1 healthy expansioq but still had an ongoing dispute over water rights.

March 2, 1987 ~". To: Brian L. Almquist, City Administrator From: Robert D. Nelson, Director of Finance MONTHLY FINANCIAL COMMENTARY - JANUARY 31. 1987 Electric Utility January was a little disappointing in terms of electric utility revenues, but we still believe the $1,057,000 fund balance estimated for July 1 is reasonable. This optimism recognizes the near-record wholesale power bill which was paid a few days ago. This should translate into very substantial sales revenue~ in the next few weeks. Water Quality Water Quality should meet its budgeted July 1 fund balance. General Fund The General Fund also had a mediocre January. Liquor revenues, including State Revenue Sharing, will continue the almost uninterrupted decline which began after 1978-79. We look for a total of only $155,000, compared with $192,101 eight years earlier. If electric utility franchise and users taxes are as favorable as implied in the "Electric Utility" discussion above, the budgeted July 1 fund balance of $214,000 should be achievable. Revenue Sharing The final payment adjustment was received in February, and the July 1 fund balance estimate for Revenue Sharing should be increased by $300, thereby erasing a small portion of the $178,000 shortfall. Hospital Fund Nationally, many hospitals are having severe financial problems. How- ever, Ashland Community continues to operate on an economically sound basis. For example, the liquidity has improved. Cash less accounts payable has improved by more than $300,000 in the past year. The Hospital's net worth increased by a half-million dollars during the same period. Summary . Except for Revenue Sharing, there is no change in the above funds, or any of the others that we monitor, which would justify amending the beginning balances in the 1987-88 Budget.

The proposed planting calls for ten trees seven red maples [Acer rubrum (var.)] and three holly oaks [Quercus ilex]. An additional three trees, crepe myrtles [Lagerstromia indica], are proposed as an option for the owners of Jazmin's. They are to be planted in concrete raised planter boxes on their front patio. Planting Specifications I. Hole size: Each hole should be about twice the diameter of the container or root ball. In soils that have good structure, the plant ing hole need only be deep enough to hold the root ball. Plant "high" or "proud" in all but sandy soils. The sides and bot tom of the hole should be roughened with a shovel to intermingle the backfill and field soil and to provide easier access for developing roots. II. Soil Amendment: For all street tree plantings, a backfill soil mix composed of 25% nitrogen stabilized wood residual or humus and 75% tree pit soil is recommended. III. Fertilizer backfilled, distributed an analysis (optional): When tree is placed and about 2/3 slow-release fertilizer tablets can be evenly around the root ball. The tablets should have of 20-5-10 N-P-K or similar balance. V. Staking: All trees should be double staked with 8' long stakes with a minimum two inch diameter. The stakes should extend to five feet above ground or 2/3 the height of the tree. Ties should be one inch wide canvas web belting or rubber, looped around trunk in figure eight pattern and nailed t.o tree stakes. The tree should remain staked not more than two years. VI. Responsibility: The City of Ashland shall oversee and/or maintain the care of the street trees planted. in the ground for the first two years after planting. . . .~/ ---~ \ . ORDINANCE NO.

WHEREAS, Southern Oregon State College offers a diverse baccalaureate program through its six schools, and graduate programs in business, education and liberal arts and sciences; and WHEREAS, the College serves a large geographic region of the state composed of 27,282 square miles with a popula- tion of 432,OQO and is a primary resource of information and services through the Regional Services Institute, and other public services; and WHEREAS, the term "university" no longer distinguishes schools offering a doctoral degree from others and, instead, distinguishes schools that have a broad range of coursework reaching to the graduate level from those with a more narrow focus; and WHEREAS, a name change would recognize the status the College already has gained through its various departments and degree programs, and would attract faculty and students; and WHEREAS, comparable institutions in Washington and California already carry the unviersity title. NOW TIIEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Ashland City Council vigorously supports changing the designation of Southern Oregon State College to Southern Oregon State University, and urges the State Board of Higher Education to implement this proposal at the 'earliest possible date in the interests of the State System and to enhance the economic development of the region.
