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.
A resolution calling for a public hearing was set for June 3, 1986

The City Administrator noted that the Forest ..Service....wisnes to~"sub-

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. Mack said

that the Physical Therapy unit could accommodate SoA.I.F. & Work-
mens Compensation cases along with the athletic programs for
the various schools and college. 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

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. Laws noted that
people who live in apartments usually own more vehicles and there-
fore use the streets more. On roll call motion passed unanimously.
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.

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. Acklin moved to adopt;
Elerath seconded the motion which passed unanimously on roll call

Mayor Medaris reported that there will be an Ashland Airport Day
on May 31, 1986 and asked Public Works Director Alsing to comment
on details. Alsing said it would afford the citizens of Ashland
an opportunity to visit their Airport and that many activities have
been planned by the Airport Commission and that refreshments are
being served on the occasion.

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.

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.

Laws said the percentages shown could be 10 points off due

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.
Budget Officer Nelson reported that the budget reflects
the same level to Social Services and acquiring a piece of
heavy equipment to use in street chip sealing.

AYES.
Nelson said a public hearing must be held on State Revenue
Sharing budget and funds, like in prior years, have been
allocated for Fire Department use. On question from
Elerath on gasoline tax revenue, Nelson reported that the
budget reflects 1% allocated for the bikepaths and the
balance is reflected in the Street Fund.

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.

The description used-with the petition appears to be in error. 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.

Dear Plaroning 'Departrner.t,
The attached petitions are in support of my desire that the city vacate a
pc,rtion of its right-of-way adjacent to my property. 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.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Proposed Paving of Alley Off Nursery Street
We recently received a petition requesting improvement of the
alley off Nursery Street between Rock and N. Main Streets.
The attached summary notes that a total of 65.33% of the
front footage is represented as being in favor of the
improvement. .
We need to proceed with the public hearing on this project.
It might be too late to work this into the current year's
projects, but we should proceed with the paperwork at this
time.

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.

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.

Re:
Dear Gordon:
At your request, enclosed is an ordinance addressing
the problem of noise interference with performances of the
arts.
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.
Very truly yours,

Tour bus/Specialized Vehicle Policy
{j/'
V
The COIIllIlittee appointed by Mayor Medaris consisting of~ Sandra
James, Paul Nicholson, Dennis Perkins, Brian Almquist, Terry Koerner,
and myself as Chairman, met to discuss a proposed policy regulating
tour busses and specialized vehicles.
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.

RESOLUTION NO. 86-
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A POLICY FOR THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL
OF REQUESTS FOR TOUR BUSES AND SPECIAL VEHICLE PERMITS.
WHEREAS, Chapter 6.28 of the Ashland Municipal Code sets forth a
process for the certification and licensing of taxicabs; and
WHEREAS, certain vehicles are exempt from the provisions of the taxicab
certification ordinance, and there is a need to regulate
exempt vehicles to prevent traffic and parking congestion in
the business district, and the size and route of tour vehicles
using other city streets in the interest of safety.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Traffic Safety Commission Responsible. The Ashland Traffic
Safety Commission is hereby delegated the authority to review and
approve or deny requests for intra-city tour bus services and special
vehicle permits, subject to appeal to the City Council by an affected
party who may be dissatisfied with the decision of said Commission.

b. Special Vehicles shall mean horse-drawn carts or
carriages, bicycle-type vehicles for transporting passengers, licensed
motorized trolleys and other similar specialized vehicles.
SECTION 3. Application Required. Any person, firm or corporation
requesting a permit to use city streets for transporting passengers for
profit, shall complete the application available at the office of the
City Administrator. The application shall contain the following
information:

~ECTION 4. Criteria for Approval/denial. In approving or denying an
. application for special vehicle permits, the Traffic Safety Commission
may attach special conditions and shall utilize the fOllowing criteria:

prior approval of the Traffic Safety Commission; or if the service is
discontinued for a period of five (5) days without prior written
notification to the City Administrator.
