MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL
June 3, 1986
.
,of
ROLL CALL
Mayor Medaris led the Pledge of Allegiance and called the meeting
to order at 7:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers on the above date.
Elerath, Reid, Bennett, Acklin, Laws and Arnold were present.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Bennett moved to approve minutes of the regular meeting of May .20,
1986 and Special Meeting of May 27, 1986 and Arnold seconded the
motion which passed unanimously on voice vote.
PUBLIC HEARING
7th St. Vacation
The City Administrator read a memo from the Asst. City Engineer
noting that without the City's signature on the petition it would
be impossible to gain a 2/3 majority and the area represented on
the petition is 45.2% of the total. Almquist noted that Council
had set the public hearing on it's own motion. Mayor Medaris noted
that the requested vacation is located in the Historic District and
has not gone before the Historic Commission. The public hearing
was opened and Donna Eden, applicant, reviewed the circumstances
leading to the request saying that her daughters' bedrooms are in
close proximity to the right-of-way and that bikes/mopeds are in
clear view because there is no area on which to build with the
exception of the City right-of-way in question. Council discussed
the possibility of screening the bedrooms and bicycle storage area
with a hedge and seeking recommendations from the Historic Commiss-
ion. Eden said she had constructed a deck/storage unit and was
forced to remove it because it was built on the right-of-way. David
Feinstein said he was told the City wouldn't need the right-of-way
strip to widen the street and felt the request reasonable. Fein-
stein said he couldn't envision a hedge accomplishing what is. needed
for necessary protection and that there is no place secluded because
of the church taking up all of the property. The public hearing
was closed. Arnold said that he'would vote in favor because he
didn't think a substantial change would be made and feels the applica-
tion is appropriate. Elerath said he is not in favor of giving
property away and said that property owners must cope with building
on their land and anticipating needs.:': Arnold asked if the request
would need to go to the Historic Commission and City Attorney Salter
said it is not required but noted that it could cause a problem in
setting a precedent and said its a problem that affects more than
one property owner. Bennett moved to permit shrubbery and refer to
Historic Commissio~. Laws said there was no need to allow shrubbery
so Bennett moved to refer to Historic Commission; Aclkin seconded
the motion and said she dislikes delaying applications but would
feel more comfortable with input from Historic Commission. Reid
said she supports the Historic Commission but felt Council should
look at a variance for use of the land. Bennett, Acklin and Laws
voted in favor. Elerath, Reid and Arnold voted against the measure.
Mayor Medaris broke the tie by voting YES on roll call vote.

NURSERY ST. ALLEY PAVING Almquist reviewed a memo from the Director of Public Works with
a petition requesting improvement of the alley off Nursery Street
between Rock and N. Main Streets with 65.33% of the front footage
represented and read a letter from L. W. & Edna Robinson in favor
of the improvements (Tax Lot 8400). The Mayor opened the public
hearing. Sue Kruse, 477 N. Main spoke as owner of a duplex at
tax lot 7000 and noted that when she applied for a Bed & Breakfast
at that location she was told she would have to improve the alley
at her own expense. Kruse opposed the proposed paving saying that
the improvement would benefit the apartment house and other build-
ings abutting the alley and she doesn't need it. Don Greene spoke
in favor of the project representing owners of tax lot 8800 where .
the apartment complex is located. The public hearing was closed
and Reid moved to approve; Elerath seconded the motion wich passed
unanimously on voice vote.
BANNER POLICY/BRITT FEST. Deferred to June 17, 1986.
"A" STREET PAVING PROPOSAL The City Administrator reviewed a memo and petition for paving and
curbs on "A" Street between 6th & 7th Streets and noted that the
Southern Pacific owns all of one side plus frontage on the two
tee instersections and it is doubtful that they would approve the
paving proposal. Almquist said that a public hearing could be
held and if a two-thirds remonstrance was not heard, the paving
could be accomplished. A resolution calling for a public hearing
for June 17th at 7:30 P.M. was read and Acklin moved to adopt;
Laws seconded the motion which passed unanimously on roll call vote.
CANVASS OF VOTE/PROCLAMATION Almquist read the canvass of.the vote and noted that the Swimming
Pool levy had passed with 2410 to 1548 and read the Mayor's proclama-
tion and resolution. Bennett moved to adopt the resolution; Arnold
seconded the motion which passed. unanimously on voice vote.

The first reading of an ordinance addressing the problem of nnise
interference with performances of the arts was' tabled.

Second reading was given an ordinance levying property taxes for
1986-87 and Acklin moved to adopt; Laws seconded the motion which

A resolution listing services provided by the City to qualify for
State Revenue Sharing was read and Laws moved to adopt; Elerath
seconded the motion which passed unanimously on roll call vote.
j
A memo from Tour Bus Policy Chair Acklin was read as well as the
resolution adopting a policy. Mayor Medaris asked what protection
the City has concerning liability and the City Attorney said that
a section could be added for enforcing capabilities for penalties.
Elerath congratulated the Committee on its work and said he likes
the idea of the decisions being made by the Traffic Safety Commission.
Elerath pointed out that Section 6 calls for the City Administrator
to be notified of discontinuance of the service etc. and Elerath
thought this inappropriate. Almquist said the language was included
because there is a month between TSC meetings and this would be for
interim purposes. Elerath asked that in Section 2(b) "bicycle-type"
should be changed to pedicab and trolley should be changed to street
car. Elerath asked that Section 4 #6 be changed to allow for pick-
up by pedicab in Lithia Park by adding "except pedicabs through
Lithia Park" at the end of the sentence. Dennis Perkins, Ashland
Cabs, said he had no objections about the pedicab being able to pick
someone up in the Park, but not other streets. Jon San Jose spoke
from the audience as an applicant to provide pedicab service and
asked that he be allowed to serve the Plaza area. Reid noted the
Park extends through Guanajuato Way. Arnold recommended that the
City require a significant amount of liability insurance and the
City display disclaimer on responsibility. Almquist amended the
ordinance to include a section requiring liability insurance in
the amount of at least $250,000 per individual and $250,000 or
$500,000 per occurrence and provision made that insurance is not
cancellable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
City. The problem of a quorum for the Traffic Safety Commission was
discussed and the Mkyor said he plans to increase the membership
from five to seven by amending the TSC o'rdinance. A new section
was added to the Tour Bus ordinance which would include Violations
and the City Administrator read all changes into the ordinance
and Acklin moved to second reading as amended; Elerath seconded the
motion which passed unanimously on roll call vote.

ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE The City Administrator noted that the current resolution regarding
PUBLIC SAFETY Public Safety structure ends on June 30, 1986, and Council had
requested that no mandatory cross-training be required. Almquist
said the resolution being considered implements this. Reid requested
that another public hearing be called on the subject because there
has been such a large turnout at earlier hearings on the matter.
Acklin pointed out numerous public hearings held including hearings
by Budget Committee, and that the.Resolution accomplishes exactly as
the Council and Budget Committee directed. Elerath wondered about
the Public Safety titles and Almquist noted that the Director of
Public Safety would also be the Police Chief and the Police Captain
would have charge of Police Division operations. Laws noted the
Charter specifies criteria for . the Police Chief and that Management
personnel levels are being cut back on July 1 to where they were
in 1983-84, with the exception of the Communications Director. Larry
Culler, President of the Ashland Firefighters Association asked that
the forms signed by employees agreeing to possible cross-training be
pulled out of the files. Almquist reviewed the policy saying that the
form signed does not make cross-training mandatory, but does not
feel it appropriate to foreclose options for future Councils. On
Acklin's question as to whether adopting the resolution would require
new hires to sign the agreement, Laws said that the issues were sep-
arate and the Resolution had nothing to do with the agreements.
Reid said she would vote only if the cross-training clause is removed.
Acklin said cross-training isn't a goal but an option and agreed that
the pre-employment agreement is one issue and the resolution is
another, and asked that the City Attorney give his opinion on the
issue at the next Council meeting. Acklin moved to address cross-
training issue when a report is received from the City Attorney;
Arnold seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice vote.
Arnold moved to adopt the resoluti9u; Bennett seconded the motion
which passed with Elerath, Bennett, Acklin, Laws and Arnold voting
YES. Reid opposed.
OTHER BUSINESS
Councilor Reid asked when the Community Health & Social Services
Committee report would be available to Council and Arnold said it
should be ready for the next meeting.
Mayor Medaris thanked members of the Tour Bus Committee for their
efforts.

Petition for Curb and Paving
Attached is a memo. and other information concerning the proposed
curbing and paving of "A" Street between 6th and 7th Streets.
This is an unusual situation in that Southern Pacific owns all of one
side plus frontage on the two tee intersections. Even if all of the
properties on the opposite side 'sign in favor of the project, they
would not represent 50% of the frontage, thus it appears that S.P.
could hold up this project as long as it wishes and we have not seen
any interest from them in the improvement.
Another unusual situation in this project is that two of the interested
owners are willing to assume the assessments of the third and remaining
owner on the south side of the street.
I do not believe that S.P. will ever agree to signing a petition for
this work, so perhaps the only way to' accomplish the improvement would
be to call the hearing and use the two-thirds remonstrance procedure.
This section of "A" Street is becoming quite heavily traveled with the
development of Sandler Films, Walt Anders Auto Repair and other
commercial developments.
I would recommend that this item be placed before the Council for a
public hearing.

Proposed Paving of 'A' Street - Proposal No.3
As you have requested, I have prepared a third proposal for the
improvement of 'A' Street between 6th and 7th Streets.
As you have pointed out, the Southern Pacific property abutting 'A'
Street is commercial property rather than right of way and may be
included in a proposed improvement district. This third proposal
assumes the S.P. Transportation Co. will be included in the L.I.D. with
440 feet of frontage including the intersections at 6th and 'A' and 7th
and 'A'.
Allen Sandler has agreed, along with Richard Barnett, to assume the
assessments on lot 2000 (Ditsworth) thereby placing the entire south
side of the street "in favor". However, since the S.P. Co. has 59.46%
of the total frontage, a majority "in favor" represent.ation is not
possible.
Since only a 40.54% will be shown in favor, any action taken will
necessarily be by the Council's own motion.
Attached is proposal no. 3 showing percentages, total costs, etc.

Dear Brian:
Last summer we were pleased to be able to plac
Britt Festivals banner across Main Street during
Classical Festivals. We'd like to do this again ~
summer during the early weeks of August (the ev
runs from August 1 - 19).
We are aware that there was an issue about our eve
taking place in Jacksonville, but we feel there i
preponderance of reasons to set this concern aside.
My wife and I are both Ashland residents, supportec
work at Britt, paying our taxes here as do seve
other Britt employees.
Britt is in fact a tourism destination that stron
benefits Ashland. As our audience survey taken ev
night of the Britt season shows, one third of our c
of-town audience utilizes Ashland lodgings, Kno~
that the lodging portion of a tourist's budget is
most significant, and also the portion which gener,
tax revenue, Britt contributes a significant P01"(
of its total $4 million economic impact to Ashland
In fact, when an Ashland based tourist goes to B1'.
they are in fact staying in Ashland one more day.
Britt has also taken a leading role in develof
regional tourism promotions. The enclosed ad from
Oregonian, and other pieces generated by our off
emphasize the entire Southern Oregon area, not j
Jacksonville. In fact, we have made serious effc
and overtures to involve Ashland and Shakespear(
more of this work and are making positive progres~
that direction to the benefit of all area agencies,
I hope that our banner request is approved this
future seasons as our separate efforts are mutu~
beneficial.

Ci ty. of Ashland
City CoUno:l.l
Ashland, Oregon 97520
I have attended the Planning Meeting of May 14, 1986, and have spoken
to Mr Alsing, and I believe presenting this matter to the City Counoil
for..oonsideration. is in order.
May 19, 1986
I live at 342 High Street. I bought this property to remodel It years
ago. In that time, I have had suffioient time to watoh and deoide that
there is a life threatening situation to the ohildren in this area that
I feel has a very equitable solution for everyone involved.
The problem area I will refer to is the alley( (the unimproved portion)
beside 342 High Street ( see map).
The pedestrian traffio to Brisooe sohool every morning and evening
down this alley is very heavy. The automobile traffio is basioally
limited to people who want a short out to or from North Main. The alley
serves no needs that oan not be serVed by either wimer Street or
Manzani ta Street. The Alley now is unimproved, without speed signs,
speed bumps or stop signs. The unimproved area is hard granite with
loose gravel in the summer. This makes it very sliok for oars to stop
or for ohildren to walk or ride bikes on. Presently, even if a oar.
is going very slow, it oould not stop to avoid ohildren. In the winter,
the granite washes down past Manzanita Estates on a 10%+ grade whioH
oreates ruts, and plugs the drain on North Main Street.
The easement on the tax map for this alley is 8 feet from oenter,
or 16 feet total. At present, the home owners surrounding the alley
are going to trim the shrubbery to improve visibali ty . What we
would like to see is for the oity to vaoate this property, and then
the land owners surrounding the alley would dedioate 6 or 8 feet
( whatever the ooundmllfeels is adequate) for a walkway similar
to the Alioe Piel Walkway.
This is a narrow, short stretoh that is at an odd angle to High Street.
'I don't believe that 16 feet is wide enough for emergenoy vehioles,
or city maintanoe, and eqen if you deoided to improve this alley,
beoause of its looation (olose to the school), and the steep grade,
it still would be a dangerous situation for the ohildren.
My oonsoious has led me. to write this letter and ask you to study this
situation for the childrens safety. I oringe everytime I hear sliding
tires in the alley. I would like to add however, that even though
outting the shrubbery on my property would be no big loss, that damaging
or removing the hedge from the other side of the alley would create
a war, . . and I would be the sole target.
I understand this situation oould be studied by the traffio Safety
Commission f",r oonsideration. PI se ale to any meetings,

ATTN: City Council
I have enclosed the first letter I wrote, and the response I received
from Mr. Alsing, I am a bit frustrated.
In talking to the' city', the Planning Conunission, and Mr Alsing, we
understood we were to use the term 'vacation' in regards to a walkway
on this alley, There was never a mention of a $250.00 fee for this
'vacation' ,
My concern is genuine, and I have informed alot of people of this
problem. I have offered to landscape and put up a fence to accomodate
this walkway, I am not interested in building a fence, and planting
shrubbery to have to move it, at my expense again, at this c1tys whim.
I don't feel it is my responsability to pay this city $250.00 to
accomplish what I feel is a public safety matter. Is Ashland really
so big that it can't reconsider or relingquish these fees in this
instance? If the city would like to build a walkway that wouLibe
great, If you would be interested in working with me to protect my
interests, great.
Since the first letter was written, the lady (Jane) that wwns the
house on the other side of the alley has died. One of her relatives
(Marge) who has taken care of Jane and lived with her for four years
is still 11 ving there, She is very concerned about th-a hedge Jane
planted so many years ago, Please be kind. Marge is very hurt by
Janes death.
Now that all of that is off my mind, I would formally like to
request that the city council do whatever they can, Hopefully in
regards to a walkway, in this alley,

Dear Ms. Shea:
Perhaps I misled you during our recent telephone conversa-
tion concerning the alley off of High Street.
I did not understand that you were interested in an actual
vacation of this alley, but thought that the closure would be
accomplished by landscaping, fences, etc.
At any rate, in order to request a total vacation of the
alley, it will be necessary to file a petition for vacation
along with your letter, and deposit a $250.00 filing fee.
Our Engineering Division can explain the petition process
and help you identify the affected property owners.
Please call me if you .have any questions about this.
Very truly yours,

AShland Historic Commission
PETITION FOR STREET VACATION - RAILROAD ADDITION
In response to a request by the Council to assess the potential
vacation of a portion of 7th Street, just south of East Main
Street, and the potential for the development of a policy for
street vacations throughout the Railroad District, the Ashland
Historic Commission addressed a memo from the City
Administrator at its regularly scheduled meeting on June 4,
1986 and hereby forwards the following recommendations:
1) It is the Historic Commission's belief that the Council should
develop a policy to narrow the rights-of-way to a uniform width
throughout the District to be no less than 47 feet. At
present, this is the widest right-of-way dedication requirement
for new City streets. Vacations should be addressed on a
street by street basis rather than by the individual parcel.
, Based on this, the Commission's recommendation is that, while
this specific request does not appear unreasonable, no action be
taken on it until such time as the policy is adopted.
2) Relative to the potential visual impact on the streetscape
this policy may have, the Commission believes that there are
ample protections within the Ordinance to protect against such
occurrences. Each request for a building permit within this
District currently requires Historic Commission review and this
condition will not change. If the Commission believes that the
proposed structure will negatively impact the District, it will
make that judgment on an individual basis. Further, there
presently exists a provision within the Land Use Ordinance in
Chapter 18.68.110 which allows for structures to be placed closer
than the standard 20 foot setback allows under certain conditions.
A) "If there is a dwelling or accessory buildings on both
abutting (even if separated by an alley or private way)
lots with yards of less than the required depth for the
District, the yard for the lot need not exceed the average
yard of the abutting structures."
B) "If there is a dwelling or accessory buildings on one
abutting lot with a yard of less than the required depth
for the District, the yard need not exceed a depth one-half
way between the depth of the abutting lot and the required
yard depth."
The Commission appreciates the Council's solicitation of input on
this matter.

RE: Historic Commission criteria for National Register Nomination
Dear Brian~
The staff has related to the Historic Commission your concern over
over National Register Nominations and the possible implications to
the City over the potential for an increase in the number of tax
assesment "freezes" that may result. By way of response I would
like to go over the process invloved for a National Register
application.
After the nomination forms have been prepared by the owner or a
paid consultant, an applications packet is sent to the State Historic
Prieservation Office (SHPO) in Salem. SHPO then sends the request
to any affected agencies or municipalities. In our case the request
goes to the Planning Department. Staff then notifies the Commission
and we have 30-4~ days to send our reccomendation to SHPO. The State
Review Board ~~, hopefully taking account of our reccomendation,
then either reccommends approval or rejection. SHPO forwards this
request to the National level and, in almost all cases, the National
Trust accepts the decision of the State. Should the State Review
Board deny the application the process stops at that level. Should
an application survive all the way to approval all that is granted
at this point is' "National Register Status". The application for
a frozen tax-base is a separate, additional, request. In other words,
not all National Register Structures have, or are even considering,
the frozen tax base available to them. Not all Register properties
are neccessarily even eligilble for this benefit.
Given the nature of the above process the Ashland Historic Commission
has relatively little control over the ultimate placement of a given
structure on the National Register, In recent months there have been
applications which have been approved over our reccommendation for
denial and at least one instance in which approval was granted prior
to the Commission having the opportunity to offer any knd of comment
at all. The Planning staff and the Commission have recently changed
the manner in which request for comment from SHPO will be handled so
as to avoid a repeat of that situation.
When a request does come before the Commission the criteria used for
evaluation are the same as those used by the National Trust. I have
enclosed a reprint of these standards for your information. Should
you wish to obtain the brochure in which they are from, along with
more detailed information on the Register nomination process, it is
available from the U:S. Government Printing Office, Publication
#1983-418-331. Additional information that may be of interest can
be found in The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for RehabilitatioJ
U.SP.O. #1983-0-416-688.
My personal feeling is that far too may structures from Ashland, not
all of them truly worthy, are being placed on the National Register
of Historic Places. So far most of these property owners do not seem
to be taking the additional step of applying for the tax freeze. That
possibility certainly does exist. I would hope that will more local
input to SHPO from Ashland that we will be able to insure only those
structures truly qualified to be on Register end up there.
If you would like to discuss this in greater detail, or if I can
be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

Historic Commission
JJr rom: Mayor & City Council
~uhjed: Tax Treatment of Historic Properties
,
Over the past ten years, the City has endorsed a number of appli-
cations for inclusion on the National Register, as well as applications
to freeze the assessed values of historic properties under a state law
(O.R.S. 358.475-565).
The Council, while supporting the general concept of protecting
and'encouraging the preservation of historic properties, has a growing
concern about the ultimate effects on the other taxpayers of the City.
Under the State constitution and laws relating to tax bases, whenever
taxes are "frozen" on a particular piece of property, the City still is
able to levy its full tax base plus 6% (the so-called 6% limitation).
This of course results in a tax shift to all of the other taxpayers not
enjoying a similar "freeze".
The Council wishes to have an evaluation made of the number of
properties which have already received this favored tax treatment, and
a listing of the potential number of additional historic properties
that may qualify.
It is the Council's underst~nding that a list of significant
historic properties has been prepared. Perhaps this listing could be
made available to the Council, along with a designation of which of
those properties have received a tax freeze.
In addition, the council would like to schedule either a study
session or presentation at one of its regular meetings, to discuss the
methodology and criteria used to decide whether a property is deserving
of a designation or favored tax treatment, and to get some idea of the
total tax impact to date.

In these times of every increasing federal governmental concerns
about budget deficits and the rising costs of tax-supported programs,
local governments are being forced to provide more and more services
to those who cannot provide for their own needs. These federal funding
cuts in health care and other social service programs initiated in
1981 while intended to protect the truly needy have actually impacted
those on the margin of poverty, This segment of the population has
been identified as "falling through the cracks".
In Jan?ary, Mayor L.' Gordon Medaris, at the request of the Budget
Committee, appointed. a citizen's committee to address the need for new
sources of revenue to cover the City's ongoing commitment to health
and social service programs for. the needy in Ashland. At its first
meeting the committee divided into two subcommittees -'one to focus
on estimating "the need", and the other to focus on identifying
alternative sources of funding.
The subcommittee on Human Service Needs Assessment spearheaded by
Nancy Ames, Director of the Community Health Center, addressed the
following questions:
1, How many Ashland residents have human service needs and what
kinds of needs do they have?
2. Are the existing human service agencies addressing these needs?
If so, do they have enough resources to address them adequately?
If not, what is the magnitude and kind of needs that must still
be' addressed?
3, Can we identify "the needy" and whether or not their needs would
be met if they could afford available services?
Recognizing the limits the committee would face in terms of inadequate
time, money,. staff, data management resources and the sophisticated
methodology needed for a thorough study, we set a goal of determining in
general what social service needs exist in our community and to what
extent these needs appear to be met by existing services.
Information gathering was confined to brief statistical overviews and
subjective testimony from persons either working in human services or
working in the c9mmunity on behalf of people with human service needs.
The following sources of information were chosen to prepare this report:
1. An outline of human services needs prepared by the Jackson County
Human Services Commission in the course of its ongoing needs
assessment process for the county as a whole, Appendix A,
2, Testimony from human service providers regarding the needs they
perceive in this community regardless of whether or not those
needs are a concern of their own agency, Verbal reports were heard
from Crisis Intervention Services .(CIS), CERVS, Children's Dental
Clinic, Ashland Teen Center, the Community Health Center, and
Steve Bohlert a representative of the Ministerial Association.
,
3. Data submitted by these agencies to the Budget Committee
identifying the numbers of persons served.
4. Data collected at Ashland Community Hospital related to use of
the Emergency Room as an inappropriate source of health care
and the amount of uncollected charges. Appendix B
Using data from the 1977 National Medical Care Expenditure Survey
adjusted to 1984, 24% - 37% of the U.S. population under 65 years of age
lacks adequate health care coverage. State Health Planners use 133% to 150%
of poverty. as an index of "medically needy". Although currently one must
be below 75% of poverty to qualify for Medicaid in Oregon. That translates
to an extimated 2641 persons between 75% and 150% of poverty in Ashland,

1 From 1980 Census, based on 1979 levels of reported income.
2 Using 5% increase in population, based on total figures 1980 and 1986,
and estimating each group increase at same rate'. NOTE: This is probably
conservative, sjnce the December 1984 State of Oregon Labor Market Analvsis
for District 8 (Jackson and Josephine Counties) reports that the % of
population under 100% of poverty in 1979 was 11.7% nationally and by 1983
was 15.2% of the population, Jackson County has stayed generally in a
position of higher unemployment and lower median income than either State
or National averages during that time.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
(JAMA) in February, 1986 indicated that the segment of the population lacking
adequate health insurance protection includes the short-term unemployed
and their dependents, persons uninsurable for medical reasons, the working
poor.and self-employed individuals who do not have access to group coverage
and who cannot afford the premiums for adequate individual coverage.
.
The testimony from the human service providers, particularly Crisis
Intervention Services and CERVS gave the subcommittee insight into what
might be called the "demographics of need" in Ashland.
C.I.S. keeps data collected for one month of every six, on the kinds
of calls for help that are generated in Ashland.
5,320 calls of 28,000 total calls are from Ashland. The following
is a breakdown of Ashland requests:
CALLS PER MONTH
45
AREA OF CONCERN
Emergency Needs - food, shelter, clothing,
medicine/health or transportation
6
Suicide Calls
12
Sexual Assault
19
Youth Issues - all kinds (from "I don't get enough
allowance" to "r have just run away" or serious
family disputes
19
Elderly
27
Domestic Violence
15
Parenting
11
Physical Child Abuse
In addition, 2400 referrals were made to agencies in Ashland and 36
Ashland residents were sheltered in Dunn House, 13 families per week were
receiving support from Parents Anonymous groups and 20 per week from domestic
violence support groups. C.I.S. identified that unmet needs included
emergency mental health housing for the homeless (including transients) and
counselors for children.
CERVS pointed out that there is no current economic index which measures
the problem of underemployment. That is, statistics on employment take into
account both part-time and seasonal/temporary work and full-time, long-term
employment. As a result, it is difficult to measure the numbers of people
whose incomes do not provide enough for adequate health care, transportation,
medicines, utilities etc. CERVS testimony reiterated the need for adult
mental health services and concerns about domestic ciolence. In addition to
those who received vouchers for emergency needs, 132 people in Ashland
participated in the gleaning project.
Children's Dental Clinic (CDC) reported that there had been a slight
decline in requests for children's dental treatments. However, there are no
services provided for adult dental care for the indigent.
,
.
The Teen Center noted that although they provided services to a
cross-section of young teens in Ashland, there appears to be growing numbers
of separations and divorces with resulting single-parent households which
add to the problems of adolescence. The Teen Center suggested that more
recreational opportunities and more school counseling and other counseling
might help offset these emotional stresses.
Community Health Center (CHC) agreed tpat domestic violence/sexual
abuse appeared to be increasing. It was stressed that the problem with the
medical service delivery system in Ashland is not a shortage of physicians,
but rather that medical care is unaffordable for a large number of
underemployed and uninsured. Nancy Ames of CHC illustrated a formula that
had been'suig~sted by the State Department of Health Planning to obtain some
idea of primary health care needs. The population of uninsured/indigent
within the City of Ashland would require up to 5000 outpatient visits per
year that are not currently provided. The State of Oregon's Health Planners
are preparing a formal study to be completed by the end of this year.
A review of 207 '.'no-pay" emergency room accounts for visits made in
September, October, November 1985 and January 1986 concluded that 62% had
no insurance and 64% had no physician. The 50% who were listed as unemployed
included retired seniors over age 65, SOSC students and minors bringing the
actual unemployed to 23%.

Conclusions:
-
On the basis of information gathered from these sources, the subcommittee
established priority needs for both the short and long term.. An attempt
was made to limit the list to the number and type of needs the City of
Ashland might reasonably expect to address.
Short Term (Existing) Needs
1. Health Care
2. Information and Referral..
Crisis Services with emphasis
on coordination and
communication
3. Domestic Violence and mental
health ..
Long Term (Planning) Needs
1. Information and Referral with
emphasis on on-going assessment
of coordination. Consider imple-
mentation of computerized resource
guide
2. Enhancing the use of trained
volunteers to improve cost
effectiveness of service delivery
Taken together, the information provided both from testimony and
statistics very clearly supported the value of keeping some sort of information
and referral resource active to avoid unnecessary inefficiences such as
inappropriate emergency room use, and people not taking advantage of available
services when needed. C.I.S. stated that if their funding was cut they
would decrease their emphasis on I & R. The subcommittee felt that the
City of Ashland might need to reconsider the multi-service center concept
and set its own Information and Referral system.
The Financial Resources Subcommittee studied several alternative
sources of fundings to replace the loss of federal revenue sharing funds
that have supported human resources in the past. Several small sources of
funding were identified but added together they would not provide the
current level of support to these agencies on an ongoing basis.
Ashland has a unique economy which results in there being substantial
numbers of working poor in this community. The tourist industry traditionally
has low salaries and minimum health care benefits. The latest figures
used by the Ashland Chamber of Commerce are "approximately 50% of Ashland's
work force is involved in tourist-related jobs," many of which typically
pay base rate between $3.50 and $5.00 per hour. After average withholdings
the weekly take home pay is below the poverty line.
Therefore, Ashland has a need. for low-cost primary health care and
logically the funding for these programs could be tied to the tourist
industry. Through the use o{ the hotel/motel tax, the citizens could main-
tain a program meeting human services needs without direct cost to
themselves. The.tourists, the visitors that we serve would pay.
The committee therefore recommends an increase in the transient
occupancy tax from 6% to 7% with the increase to be used to fund those
agencies identified by the Budget Committee and the City Council as
.meeting the objectives discussed herein.

~rOnn:~Robert D. Nelson, Director of Finance
~uhjtct REQUEST FOR TRANSFERS OF APPROPRIATIONS WITHIN FUNDS
Several transfers of appropriations within funds are needed:
1. The replacement flusher truck, which was ordered
last February, likely will not arrive until July
or August. We recommend that the necessary resources
be sequestered in the Equipment Depreciation
Reserve until payment is made. (If we do not do
this, the Maintenance Division's 1986-87 capital
outlay plans will be seriously disrupted).
Following is a proposed Resolution for Council consideration:
*************************************************************
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION TRANSFERRING APPROPRIATIONS WITHIN FUNDS
WHEREAS, due to circumstances recorded in the above
memo from the Director of Finance, the Mayor and City Council
of the City of Ashland hereby determine that it is necessary
to transfer appropriations as f~llows:
1. From Central Services Capital Outlay to Central
Services Materials & Services (Maintenance Division
Depteciation) - $44,879.
. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that appropriations are.
hereby transferred as indicated abOve.
The foregoing Resolution was READ and DULY ADOPTED at
a regular meeting of the Ashland City Council on the day
of , 1986.

LITIGATION REPORT THROUGH May 31, 1986
.
Ashland vs. Lithia Homes of Ashland, Inc. and Mark Cooper:
Suit for money owed to the City in the sum of $7,934.82
plus interest, for work done by the City for the benefit of the
defendants in early 1983. Complaint is filed in the Circuit Court.
Ashland vs. Lithia Homes of Ashland, Inc. and Mark Cooper and G.
Jefferson Campbell:
Complaint for assessments owed to the City in the sum of
$24,132.3& plus interest and City's attorney's fees. Complaint is
filed in the Circuit Court.
Ashland vs. Lithia Homes of Ashland, Inc. and Mark Cooper:
Complaint is for an injunction requiring the defendants
to perpetually maintain the subject land in a safe condition, and
said injunction has been granted and is in full force and effect.
Ashland vs. Hoffarth:
This case was for condemnation of land for the widening
of Hersey Street a number of years ago. Judgment was entered against
the City for approximately $45,000.00, which the City deemed to be
excessive and thus the case is under appeal before the Court of
Appeals in Salem. The case has been argued and we are awaiting a
decision. The City is represented by Attorney William Mansfield,
who has had a great deal of experience in condemnation cases, as he
was employed by the State Highway Commission for a number of years
doing nothing but condemnation proceedings.
Denlinger vs. Ashland, et all
The City is being sued for damages for allegedly wrongfully
denying the privilege to cut the pavement. The case is at issue, and
discovery is being made. The City is represented by James Martin,
furnished by our insurance company.

.'
Krahel vs. Ashland:
;.
This case involves the rai+road cars and was originally
filed with the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA), where it was held
that LUBA does not have jurisdiction and the City may go to court
to require the removal of the cars. The case has been appealed to
the Court of Appeals with a like result, and it is presently pend-
ing before the Supreme Court on Krahel's request for further review.
Lichens vs. Employment Division:
The Employment Division denied Lichens' claim for unemploy-
.ment benefits and the case is presently before the Court of Appeals
.in Salem, with oral argument scheduled for June II, 1986. The City
is involved because if the Plaintiff prevails, the benefits will, in
effect, be paid by Ashland.
Lichens & Sigmon vs. Ashland:
This case involves a claim of wrongful discharge; and is
being handled by our insurance company. I am writing to our
\
insurance company's attorney for an updated report.
Cooper and Lithia Homes of Ashland, Inc. vs.Ashland, etal:
This involves the Plaintiff's claim of damages of many
millions of dollars for alleged conspiracy on the partcr the City,
its officers, agents and employees, and others. The case is filed
in the Federal District Court, and at present the City's attorney,
Jim Martin, provided by the insurance company, has moved for
monetary sanctions against the Plaintiffs and their attorneys for
filing and maintaining a frivolous claim.
Pacificorp vs. City of Ashland:
Suit by P.P.& L. to have it declared that the City does
not have the power to condemn P.P.& L.'s facilities within the City
limits. The City is represented by Don Stark in Portland, and the
City has filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, which should be heard
within the next month to six weeks.

.
Copeland Lumber Yards, Inc. vs. Ashland, et al:
This is a suit to foreclose a mechanic's lien. The City
has a security interest in the property, and is a named Defendant,
but by agreement with the parties, is not participating in the
lawsuit. The property has sufficient value to insure that the City
is fully protected on its lien. It is expected that the case will
be settled shortly, and the City's lien will continue in effect.
The lien is based upon our weatherization program.
.
Of course, if any of you have any further questions
regarding any of the above, please contact me. We will start
monthly reports in about six weeks. Unless requested to the
contrary, the monthly reports will merely reflect any changes
over the previous report.
Respectfully submitted,
