MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL May 20, 1986 ROLL CALL Mayor Medaris led the Pledge of Allegiance and called the meeting to order at 7:35 P.M. in the Council Chambers on the above date. Elerath, Reid, Bennett, Acklin and Arnold were present, Laws arrived at 7:40 P.M. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Reid asked that the minutes of the regular meeting be corrected to delete the last sentence in the second paragraph of the public hearing relative to a comment made by Arnold which he noted he had not made. Acklin moved that the minutes of the regular meet- ing of May 6 and Executive Session of May 6 be approved as correct- ed; Reid seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice voteo NELSON AWARD RECOGNITION Mayor Medaris recognized Finance Director Robert D. Nelson on receiving the RIMS Research Award based on a paper entitled "Suggested Program for Earthquake Insurance for the City of Ashland." Medaris reported that Nelson had received the award during the RIMS' 1986 REACH FOR THE TOP CONFERENCE in Toronto. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing on a proposed ordinance amending initiative and referendum procedures to require a measure to be placed on the primary or general election ballot if requested within 120 days of such ballot was opened. Ed Chapman of 113 Pine Street said he had spoken to Councilor Laws who had ~~reed Rome modifica- tion might be in order. Chapman noted that 2.36.080 is poorly written and. that 2.36.100 should be completely eliminated. Chap- man said that as the ordinance is written the matter could be entirely up to Council after 1600 people had signed a petition. Chapman criticized Section 2 declaring that an emergency exists relative to the public health and safety of the people of the City of Ashland. Laws said the emergency clause is necessary because of the additional cost of $3500 for a special election and also because it would not bring all of the peoples to the polls as would a General or Primary Election. Chapman said the emergency clause was not discussed and Acklin said that Council understood it was there and what the reasons were. At this point the public hearing was closed. The City Administrator read the title of the ordinance and Laws mo~ed to adopt in form submitted; Arnold seconded the motion. Reid said she would. vote for the measure because she is concerned that as many people as possible vote on an issue~ but expressed concern about the emergency clause. Laws said until he brought the matter up, the use of the section used to appear whether it was really an emer- gency or not. Laws reiterated that he considers this issue an emergency for the reasons he brought up earlier. On roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. NURSERY ST. PAVING A memo was read from Director of Public Works Alsing noting a petition requesting improvement of the alley off Nursery Street and said 65.33% of the front footage property was in favor.

The City Administrator noted that the Forest ..Service....wisnes to~"sub- mit a survey of community attitudes on the ~e of the Ashland Hatershed and requested that a Special I'eetin[l be held at 7:0n P.I". on I'ay 27, 1986 for that purpose to be followed by the scheduled Budget hearing: for 7: 30 P .Ie. on that date. Council agreed. Deferred to June 3, 1986 meeting. As Vice President of the YMCA, Allen Drescher reviewed the agree- ment and credited the efforts of Councilor Reid, City Attorney Salter, City Adm. Almquist, Parks Commissioners Nelson and Sears, Parks & Recreation Director Mickelson and Carol Jenson and him- self for coming up with the agreement to make the third major park in the City possible. Drescher noted the land was purchased for $175,000 through the efforts of the Y and that 1800 children will benefit by the cooperative agreement which calls for the YMCA to get preferential treatment in the use of the park after the scheduled use by the Parks & Recreation Commission. Drescher said the original language calling for a "safe & useable" condition be deleted but added that the field must be maintained to allow for use by soccer teams. Laws noted that soccer may not be a popular sport some time in the future and Drescher said that problem could be dealt with should that occur. After further Council discussion, Reid moved to authorize Mayor and Recorder to sign agreement; Bennett seconded the motion. Parks Director Mickelson thanked Council for their part in making the agreement possible. On voice vote the motion passed unanimously. A memo from the Police Department recommending approval was noted and Acklin moved to approve liquor license renewals; Bennett second- the motion. Lively said he has had minor problems during the year but nothing that couldn't be handled with the Bar owners. On voice vote the motion passed without opposition. A committee to study the Forest Management Plan and its impact on the Ashland Watersh~d was requested in a memo from Public Horks Director and the Mayor appointed Councilors Laws, Acklin,Bennett and Reid. CEO Thomas Mack reviewed request for additional building funds and reviewed remodelling plans for the Hospital to include a covered passageway for emergency cases. Mack noted that the the low bid on the project came in for $107,900 rather than the estimated $85,000 and the low bid will be accepted for $107,900. 'Mack reviewed the Sports Medicine addition to the Hospital functions and noted that a Physical Therapy Department is planned for the convenience of the patients and fiscal well-being of the Hospital.

Reid moved to approve request; Bennett seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice vote. A letter from Councilor Reid proposing purchase of land for Park and Greenway purposes was reviewed and City Attorney Salter noted he had written to Auditor Gerald Burns on legal indebtedness of the City and noted he had not received a reply as yet. Reid noted she had recently requested a list of City properties and stressed the importance of the site on Ashland Creek which she felt should be owned by the people of Ashland. Arnold moved to post- pone until the next meeting. Salter said an offer could be made so as not to jeopardize the purchase contingent upon favorable information from the Auditor. Elerath moved to make offer of $35,000 contingent on Burns' recommendation/clarification; Reid seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice vote. A request from Siskiyou Wheelman for temporary closure of Winburn Way, Nutley Street and Granite Street on August 17 from 6:30 A.M. until 12:00 Noon for bicycle race was discussed and Dana Bandy of the organization was on hand to answer questions. Reid commented on the success and interest of the previous races. Laws expressed concern about closing streets for that long a period and it was noted that only half of Granite Street was closed previously and it hadn't caused a problem. Elerath moved to approve; Bennett seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice vote. Lee Howard, 95 Ridge Road and Parks Director Ken Mickelson reviewed the proposal for purchasing 60 acres to accommodate the often dis- cussed expansion of the Oak Knoll Golf Course to include deletion of one hole on the present course with ten being planned for the property on Crowson Road owned by Erv Toney. Howard noted that the original proposal had not worked out and this current plan does not involve subdivision plans to be combined with the course. Howard recommended an increase of 1% on the Hotel/Motel tax to generate enough monies to retire the debt in a period of about six years should the proposal be accepted and noted the City would own the land in question. Howard said the funds would actually be coming from tourists and stressed the need for a 18 hole course to accommodate Conventions and said that the leaseholder Buddy Sullivan is working with Windmill's Ashland Hills Inn on the improvement funding for the course. Howard said that records show a dramatic increase in the use of the course and noted that there are more playable days in Ashland than anywhere in the Valley. Acklin recommended that public be afforded input. Mickelson noted that golf courses generate revenue and Parks Commissioner Nelson said that the Chamber has made a pitch to get conferences here in the Spring and Fall to bridge the summer tourism gap. The Mayor noted a meeting could be held after more consideration is given the proposaL 5/20/86 P. 3 >gular Meeting .

The City Administrator reviewed changes in Sections 1 and 2 amend- ing Ordinance 2373 and asked that implementation of the fees be changed to July.l, 1986 at which time the inhouse computer will be operable for the program. Almquist read the resolution and Acklin moved for adoption; Laws seconded the motion. Bennett asked for. clarification relative to apartment fees of seventy-five cents and Almquist explained the fees are predicated on the number of required parking spaces for apartment buildings.

A resolution changing the parking restrictions on Oak Street was read and Arnold moved to adopt; Bennett seconded the motion which passed with Reid, Bennett, Acklin, Laws and Arnold in favor. Elerath opposed and the motion carried. A memo was read from Director of Finance Nelson requesting inter- pretation of the Employee Discount Policy. Reid noted that she is in business and has two meters so complies with the intent of the ordinance. Council discussed a potential problem of an employee receiving the utility discount while operating a business in the home and the degree of impact on the utility bill. Almquist noted the discount averages $12. After further discussion, Council asked that the City Administrator research and recommend language which is more definitive for discount guidelines. Almquist said he would draft an amended version of the ordinance. A memo from the Finance Director was read and a resolution transfer- ing appropriations within funds was read.

OTHER BUSINESS cont. Reid noted that a man who lives close to the Nursery Street alley proposed for paving was the first to get a interstate trucking permit and suggested his name be used for the alley in question" Reid suggested the name "O'Harra" be used for the alley. Laws said it isn't appropriate for Council to name alleys and if the people come to Council expressing a particular interest then it can be considered based on special conditions. Reid requested that the Public Safety Department give accident and ticket history showing a comparison with that, experience of two years ago for Council information. The City Administrator noted that a proposal of improvement for Hosler Dam had been received from Morrison-Knudsen Engineers in the amount of $51,000 and that no action is necessary. Almquist noted that he had estimated the cost at approximately $50,000. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:25 P.M. to a Special.Meeting to be held May 27, 1986 at 7:00 P.M. Nan E.

FOREST SVC. :eport - Ashland later shed Minutes of the Special Meeting Ashland City Council May 27, 1986 Mayor Medaris called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. on the above date in the Council Chambers. Present were Elerath,Reid, Bennett, Acklin, Laws and Arnold. Jurgen A. Hess, Forest Landscape Architect at the Rogue River National Forest, Medford, Oregon, introduced himself and said the presentation was from the results of a student project he was required to do while attending a Professional Development for Outdoor Recreational , Management Program at Clemson University. He noted that the report in no way reflects U.S.D.A. Forest Service policy but are opinions expressed by himself. Slides of the watershed area, maps and graphs were shown and reviewed. Hess said Ashland residents were the subject for the survey and the study reflects collected and analyzed data to determine current and future visita- tion to the Ashland Creek Watershed. Hess reported that lack of information was the primary deterrent to usage and based on survey responses, a small to moderate increase in visitation is predicted to occur and a significant increase in use would occur if recreational opportunities were to be increased. He noted that residents were found to have a high level of concern for management of the area. Hess said the report indicates implications for management of the watershed, strategies are recommended for developing understanding and cooperation between different users. City Administrator Almquist voiced a concern on the impact, if people were encouraged to further use the area. He said it would create a problem for the City because it is the city's water supply. Acklin also expressed a concern and said she would be disturbed if the study was done to provide information for increased use. She said there is a need to increase people's sensitivity to this area because it is the city's water supply. . . Ev Elerath questioned skiing in the area and Hess said the ski area was not included in the report although it is in the watershed area. Bennett said she also shares Almquist's concern about further use if there were more roads and trails for people to use. Reid asked for a comparison of Ashland watershed and the District watershed and how cross-country skiing fits in both areas. Ron' Waite, U.S. Forest Service, gave a size comparison and said there is indication that skiing has increased since Bull Gap parking area is getting fuller. He said the Forest Service has a concern for the watershed and do take into consideration the delicate nature of the area. " ,c,shland. ci ty Council special Meeting May 27, 1986 Page Two .

Laws said the percentages shown could be 10 points off due to the number. of people surveyed. Bennett thanked Hess and said the study was appreciated and it was hoped the Forest Service is aware of the importance of water over recreation. Reid asked if Reeder Reservoir was treated to avoid fish and Alsing reported that the reservoir has been treated in the past for algae which might have had an effect on the fish, but the present treatment is different and there are fish there. Alsing said he was concerned about increased usage due to the vandalism that occurs. He noted that even now there is damage to pipes, equipment, etc. Alsing said there is a need for increased awareness and education is a part of it. Mayor thanked Hess"for the presentation and said the study would be helpful when the Committee sits down to draft strategy.

Almquist, City Administrat~ Vacation of a portion of 7th Street The attached petition does not contain the approval signatures of the requisite 2/3 of the affected. property ow~ers for the vacation of a portion of the 7th Street right of way. Thus, it is the prerogative of the Council to proceed to set the hearing, or it may reject the petition. As the attached memo from the Asst. City Engineer indicates, the inclusion of the City~owned Cemetery would place the petition over 2/3 majority, but this is .also the Council's prerogative. As you can see from the attached map, Ms. Eden is petitioning only for the vacation of the strip adjacent to her property (about 88 feet). This would allow the area to be fenced or a building addition to be constructed within this area. Since the present right of way is uniform from r:. Main through to "A" Street, it seems that a vacation of only the 88 foot portion could create a building setback intrusion which might set a precedent for similar requests throughout the Railroad District. Please note that all of the rights-of-way widths are uniform throughout the District. ~emorandum April 3, 1986 '(![ 0: Al Alsing, Director of Public Works ~ rom: Jim Olson, Asst.

The footage to be vacated and the footage to be retained (measured from the curb face) have been reversed (see attached letter). I have verified with the petitioner that the intent was to leave 5 1/2 feet of right of way west of the west curb face on Seventh Street and to vacate the remaining portion to the west. The description should read "11.5 feet off the westerly side of Seventh Street ..." Apparently, Ms. Eden presented the correct arrangement to those signers with whom she made personal contact. Hopefully this can be brought out during the public hearings without the necessity of recirculating a revised petition. Ms. Eden has spent a great deal of time in acquiring the attached petitions and would welcome a solution to this lengthy process.

I have been told by your staff that the right-of-way, which literally extends to my home which was built before the turn of the century, was established prior to the year 1900 for the purpose of widening the street in case the Railroad District needed it before the turn of that century. The street itself is very wide, and your staff has told me that there are nO plar.s of widening it further. The unusually wide right-of-way, however, prevents me from making normal improvements O~ my property. I have been working with your staff and the Engineering Department and have been instructed to obtain the enclosed petitions. It.has taken me over a year to obtain them, in part because some of the essential homeowners live out of the area and in part the telephone company (corner of Sixth and East Main) had to literally send someOne from Portland to study the situation before they finally agreed to the request. I have nc.w completed this arduous process. Even while I have been collecting the petitions, there has been further harrassment -- by adolescent boys of 'oy teenage daughters whose bedroom windows are on the ground level looking directly onto Seventh Street. Their bicycles have been stoler. twice (chains were cut), and I am prevented from building any sc.rt of ferlce, porch, or other protection from harrassmer.t for my daughters because of a right-of-way that everyone I've spoken with agrees is out-of-date and unwarranted. ~ Please infoMn roe of the next steps I Must take to complete this process.

Franklin City Recorder SIGNED and APPROVED this day of June , 1986. L. Gordon Medaris Mayor May 12, 1986 Brian Almquis~, City Manager City Hall Ashland, Oregon Dear Brian: Last summer we were pleased to be able to place a Britt Festivals' banner across Main Street during our Classical Festivals. We'd like to do this again this summer during the early weeks of August (the event runs from August 1 - 19). We are aware that there was an issue about our events taking place in Jacksonville, but we feel there is a preponderance of reasons to set this concern aside. My wife and I are both Ashland residents, supported by work at Britt, paying our taxes here as do several other Britt employees. Brit~ is in fact a tourism destination that strongly benefits Ashland. As our audience survey taken eveny night of the Britt season shows, one third of our out- of-town audience utilizes Ashland lodgings. Knowing that the lodging portion of a tourist's budget is the most significant, and also the portion which generates tax revenue, Britt contributes a significant portion of its total $4 million economic impact to Ashland. In fact, when an Ashland based tourist goes to Brit~, they are in fac~ staying in Ashland one more day. Brit~ has also taken a leading role in developing regional tourism promotions. The enclosed ad from the Oregonian, and other pieces generated by our office emphasize the entire Southern Oregon area, not just Jacksonville. In fact, we have made serious efforts and overtures to involve Ashland and Shakespeare in more of this work and are making positive progress in that direction to the benefit of all area agencies. I hope that our banner request is approved this and future seasons as our separate efforts are mutually beneficial. (w q. n. ce rel~, ! 1(',. \ (,II , \5JJ '- 'v\ j David Shaw General Manager ~ , .

Appeals may be made to the City Council. ~emnrandum May 22, 1986 mo: Brian L. Almquist, City Administrator ., ~ro~ft Allen A. Alsing, Director of Public Works ~ubjed: 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. Attachments/ ~emnrnndum May 12, 1986 mo: Allen A. Alsing, Director of Public Works Jrrom: "m O"on, A""t, City Engineer~jf) ffiiubjed: 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. Attachment (1) . \ .

I have asked Steve Jannusch to use the decibel counter and cooperate with representatives of sase, the Park Department with respect to the band shell, and Shakespear with respect to its theatre, to determine the question of what decibel level should be inserted as being the amount of noise that unreasonably interfers with the public performance of the arts. I am also asking Steve to take into consideration the decibel level at adjacent properties so that the level inserted does not unreasonably inter fer with the rights of the property owners to create noise on their property.

Attached is a suggested resolution which delegates the responsibi- lity for the review of applications to the Traffic Safety COIIllIlission, subject to appeal to the City Council. The proposed policy sets forth criteria to be used by the COIIllIlission in approving or denying such requests, which are mostly the issues on which we have spent many hours in the past. Hopefully this policy will provide a better forum to consider such requests, and will address the specific traffic safety considerations which normally accompany these applications. r . .. .
