MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL
January 21, 1986>
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
and Elerath, Reid, Bennett, Acklin, Laws and Smith were present.
Mayor Medaris noted that the two Lombard boys were present in the
audience to fulfill a meeting criteria to earn their Life Scout
status.
Councilor Smith asked that the minutes be corrected on page 3 to
reflect that she felt a logo badge for the City could be more
broadly used and not to say that the honorary citizen certificate
is not effective for other purposes. Bennett moved to approve
minutes of the regular meeting of January 7, 1986 as corrected;
Smith seconded the motion which passed unanimously on voice vote.
The City Administrator noted that several letters had been attached
;to the agendas and said that another had been received from
Barbara Allen speaking for the Merrimans, Pierce and herself in
opposition to the improvements. Almquist noted that there were
59.42% in favor including the 37.6% who had presigoed as a result
of a previous planning action; that 30.05% had sigoed against
the proposal and 10.53% had not responded which included the::
Hargadine Cemetery Association which Almquist said the City would
probably have to pick up the assessment on. The Mayor opened the
public hearing and John Eads, attorney spoke on behalf of
Lawrence, Byers, Moore, Schofield, Knight,> Ligon .and Westerman.
Eads said that some of the people he represents are those who
have presigned and also appear on the remonstrance list. Eads
said that in reviewing the improvement agreement signed by the
individuals in his opinion such agreements are invalid because
not all the persons signing the agreement were property owners at
the time the agreements were given the City. Eads said in the
instance of the Lawrences and Moores who have property at the.
upper end of Sheridan Street there would be no special benefit
and said that Council must find there is a special benefit and
enhancement to property to justify improvements. Eads showed
pictures of properties and noted the Schofield property could
not be served by Sheridan Street because of the terrain. Eads
said that Moore and Lawrence could have some benefit from Sheri-
dan improvement but that Walnut Street would not be a special
benefit to that property. Eads added that the vast majority of
the property owners would not have special. benefits by improvement
of Sheridan above Walnut. Eads said that Council has authority
to levy assessments by the decision they make as to whether the
improvepent is a special benefit. Eads read Sec. 13.20.100 of
AMC/s~~~ if Council is intent on the improvements special conditions
should be considered for the property owners who will not have
special benefits by having the street paved. Eads showed proper-
ties on the map which do not have actual access to Sheridan say-
ing they represent about 25% and said there is a strong argument
that these people will not have special benefits.

Public Hearing
cont./Sheridan
has been
Elerath noted that paving/done in the past when there has been
a majority in favor and doesn't see any difference in this
proposal.
Salter agreed with Ead's interpretation of the Code as outlined
and said the decision as to whether there is a special benefit
rests with the Council and if there is no such benefit he
doesn't think they have a right to put the improvement in.
Don Skinner - lot 200 spoke in opposition to the proposal saying
that it would cost $9,763 for his portion and doesn't consider
it a special benefit as it is on the back of his property.
Skinner expressed concern that property owners are charged the
same for the narrow portion as for the standard street. Alsing
said the costs are predicated on front footage basis.and all
project costs..are divided by the number of property owners.
Lynn Merriman, 731 Grover Street, opposed to the project said
although he lives at Sheridan and Grover, neither section would
benefit his property. Merriman said there isn't an erosion
problem in that section and that Grover is nothing but an alley.
with solid bedrock and that all property owners are against the
40 wide pavement proposed. Merriman said he would like to see
the country/rural atmosphere left intact. Barbara Allen,
355 Grant Street opposed the measure saying no one would benefit
by the paving of Grove Street. Director of Public Works Alsing
said Grover is scheduled to be paved 36' wide down to 28' where
the standard street wouldn't be possible where more right of
way would be required than available. Bob Baylis, 300 Sheridan
Street spoke in favor of the project saying that there will
always be those in opposition to paving and that the cost will
increase as time goes on. Steven Lunt, 375 Grant Street, spoke
in favor of the proposal saying that it would eliminate a dust
problem due to traffic every Summer. Lunt went on to say that
he would like to see Grover Street remain unpaved to preserve
the rural atmosphere. Lunt said he would like to know the
cost of the project in separate segments and was told that
Sheridan would cost $34.50 per front foot; Grover $40.00 and
Walnut $40.00 - the last two increased because of excavation
expenses. At this point the public hearing was closed and
after brief discussion by Council relative to paving of upper
Sheridan Laws moved to delete Sheridan above Walnut and
delete Grover; Acklin seconded the motion. On question of
Alsing as to how difficult it would be to come back later to
pave Grover, Alsing said it wouldn't be a problem. On voice
vote the motion passed unanimously. Almquist said an ordinance
authorizing improvements would be brought back at next meeting.

The Hmorab1e L. Gordon f>'edaris
f>byor of Ashland
City Hall
Ashland, CR 97520
Dear t>byor f>'edar is:
This is to noti fy you that the following property has been proposed
for nominatim to the National Register of Historic Places and will
be reviewed by the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation
on February 21, 1986.
Enci!rs Buil ding (1910-1914)
250- 300 East Ma in St.
Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon
The National Register is the Federal Government's official list of
historic properties worthy of preservation. Listing in the National
Register provides recognition Q'ld assists in preserving our Nation's
heritage. Enclosed are a copy of the rreeting agenda and a copy of
the criteria lJ1der I'otlich properties are evaluated.
This is to ITilk e certa in th at you are aware of: (1) the effects of
1 isting a property in the National Register of Historic Places, and
(2) your opportunity to cornrrent on the proposed nomination.
Listing in the National Register results in the following for
historic properties.
Cmsideration in planning for Federal. federally licensed, and
federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Pet of 1966 requires that Federal agencies
allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an
opportunity to cornrrent on all projects affecting properties
1 isted in the National Register. Details of the revi&/ and
cornrrenting procedures are given in 36 CFR roo.
Eligibility for Federal tax provisions. If a property is listed
in the National Register. certain Federal tax provi!';ions ITilY
apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1984 revises the historic
preservation tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax
Reform Act of 1976. the Revenue Act of 1978, the Tax Treatment
Extension Act of 1980, and the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981.
I'otlich provici! for a 25 percent investment tax credit for
rehabi1 itating historic cornrrercia1, indJstria1 and rental
residential buildin9S instead of a 15 or 20 percent credit
avail able for rehabi1 itation of non-historic bui1 dings rrore than
2
30 years old. This can be combined with an 18-year cost recovery
period for the adjusted basis of the building. Certified
structures with certified'rehabi1itations receive additional tax
savings because owners are allowed to reduce the basis by
one-half the amount of the credit. The Tax Treatment Extension
Act of 1980 provides Federal tax deductions for charitable
contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in
historically important land areas or structures. For further
information'please refer to 36 CFR 67.
Consideratibn .of historic values in the decision to issue a
surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with
the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977. For further
information p~ease refer to 30 CFR 700 et seq.
Qualification for Federal grants for historic preservation when
funds are available. Funding is unavailable at present.
Under ORS 358.475 to 358.565, owners of Oregon properties entered
into the National Register of Historic Places, including those
properties which have been designated as contributing features of
historic districts, may apply for special assessment status--a
"freeze" of the true cash value for a 15-year period. In return
for this benefit, which is a temporary freeze on increases in
assessments, the property owner agrees to maintain his property
in such a way that it does not deteriorate and is encouraged to
submit all plans and specifications for alteration,
rehabilitation or restoration'for review and approval by the
State Historic Preservation Office.
Under Chapter 49 of the Uniform 8uilding Code recognized in
Oregon, National Register properties, and certain other historic
properties, are eligible to be considered for waivers of certain
normal code requirements in the interest of preserving the
integrity of the property.
Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register of
Historic Places have an opportunity to concur in or object to listing
in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act and 36 CFR Part
60. Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to
object to listing may submit to the State Historic Preservation
Officer a notarized statement certifying that the party is the sole
or partial owner of the property, as appropriate, and Objects to the
3
1 isting. For a single privately ol'61ed property with one ol'61er, the
property will not be 1 is ted if the owner objects. In nominations
with multiple ol'61ership of a s,ingle property, or in nominations of
historic districts, the property, or district, will not be listed if
a majority of the OW1ers Objects. Each OW1er or partial OW1er of
private property has me vote regardless of what part of the property
that party owns. Normally, a property ol'61er wi th in a proposed
historic district may not have his individual property deleted from
the nomination by a letter of objection.
If the property cannot be listed because the owner or a majority of
OW1ers objects prior to the submission of a nOll)ination by the State,
the State Historic Preservation Officer shall, under federal rule,
submit the nominatim to the Keeper of the National Register for a
determination of el igibil ity of the property for inclusion in the
National Register. If the property is then determined eligible for
1 isting, although not formally 1 isted, Federal agencies will be
required to allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an
opportunity to cormrent before the agency may fund, license or assist
a project l'i1ich will affect the property.
If property owner s ch oos e to obje ct to th e 1 is ti n g of the ab ove-nalTl:!d
property, the notarized objection must be submitted to this office by
the date of the forthcoming meeting of the State Advisory Committee
on Historic Preservatim on February 21, 1986. Comments of others on
whether the property shoul d be nominated to the National Register
should be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office also.
A copy of the nomination ooculTI:!nt is m file at this office and will
be made available upon request, as will information on State and
Federal tax provisions.
We hope this information is helpful to joU. If questions concerning
the National Register nomination process arise, I can be reached at
th e foll ow in g number (503) 378- 5001.
Sincerely,

Dear Brian:
This is to update you regarding our joint efforts with Pacific Power
& Light, Pacific Northwest Bell and C P National to have constructed
and placed in several locations in our area payment boxes for customer
convenience.
The bids for construction are due this Friday, January 31. Once a
contractor is decided upon, five of the boxes will be made in two
or three weeks. Our goal is to have these five in place by the end
of February.
Representatives of the project will be meeting today with bank officials
in Ashland regarding placement of one of the boxes.
There is a prototype box currently located in Pacific Power & Light's
Medford main office, in use on a "pilot" basis.
As we advised the City Council at its January 7 meeting, we are making
every effort to have the program implemented by the first quarter, and
to date we are on or ahead of, schedule.
Should you have any questions, or need further information, please
advise.

Industrial Waste Pretreatment Regulations
Last summer the Planning Department was contacted by an industry which
was interested in locating in Ashland.
This industry would have discharged a sewage into the domestic system
which would have had a high concentration of oil and grease, and
concentrated solvents. The volume was estimated at 70,000 gallons per
day with a high biochemical oxygen demand.
Since the City presently does not have sufficient industry to require an
Industrial Waste Pretreatment Program under the Federal Clean Water Act,
we were not prepared to accept this type of industry or to set pretreat-
ment requirements.
Attached is a draft ordinance which, if adopted, would cover industrial
wastewater discharge. This ordinance would satiSfy all Federal
Wastewater pretreatment program requirements. It was patterned after the
ordinance adopted by the ,City of Medford and the BCVSA.
The proposal could be adopted now or held for the future. As to admini-
stration, it is now set up to be administered by the Director of Public
Works, but this could be changed to be administered by the City Admini-
strator if that would be your desire. Chapter numbers would also need to
be inserted according to requirements of the proper chapter of the A.M.C.
Also attached is an article from Public Works Maqazine that relates to
enforcement of industrial waste pretreatment regulations.
The completion of this ordinance draft satisfies one of the goals set
forth for the current six-month period under my Goals and Objectives Work
Plan.

Recommendation from Traffic Safety commission
The Traffic Safety commission at its meeting of January 22, 1986, voted
to recommend to the Council that:
1. The first two parking spaces on the south side of Siskiyou Blvd.,
easterly from Tolman Creek Road, be designated as loading zones be-
tween the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M.
This area has caused problems of vision clearance for motorists en-
tering the Boulevard from Tolman Road in a northerly direction. The
Bellview School administration and P.T.A. are concerned for the
safety of school children at this location. Other complaints have
been received from motorists about vehicles parked at this location
causing vision clearance problems.
2. Yield signs be placed on Scenic Drive where it enters Nut1ey Street.
Although there have been no recently recorded accidents at this loca-
tion, several residents of the area have requested traffic control to
establish which driver has the right of way and because of the steep-
ness of Nutley Street.
3. Auburn Street be paved to a width of 20 feet and that parking be pro-
hibited on the norther!y (downhill) side. Auburn Street will be
paved this coming summer through petitions presigned with planning
actions.
There is only room within the right, of way for a twenty-foot street,
curb to curb. Normally it takes a twenty-eight foot street to allow
parking on one side, but in this case the street is only a short two
blocks, serves only four or five houses, and is not a collector or
arterial. Because of its uniqueness, the Public Safety Department
does not feel that the 20-foot/one side parking would be a problem.
Recommendation from TSC
January 29, 1986

The commission considered reducing the speed on E. Main St. between
the railroad :and Walker Ave. 'to 25 MPH. This section of E. Main St.
was recently annexed to the City. The road itself remains a county
road. The request for the speed reduction came from Police Chief
Barnard. His concern is for the heavy vehicular and pedestrian
traffic in tne vicinity of the Junior High School. If the Council
agrees, it willl need to work through Jackson County and the State
Speed Contro] Board.
The commissidn considered input to the State Highway Division con-
cerning its six Year Highway Improvement Program. The 1984-1989 Six
Year Program ,proposed traffic signals at Tolman Road and Siskiyou
Blvd. and at Walker Ave. and Siskiyou Blvd. The signals were pro-
posed for installation in 1989.
I
I
The 1987-1992, Six Year Program does not include either of these sig-
nals but does include replacement of the traffic signal at Wightman
and Siskiyou Boulevard.
A second project being considered is replacement of the traffic
signals at Beach Street and SiSkiyou Boulevard.
I.
The Council m~ght want to comment on these or other proposals.

Dear Mr. Alsing:
At the sugges~ion of Jim Olson, Engineering, we are writing to
you concernin~ the upcoming improvement on Auburn Street.
I
The roadway as now used is approximately 20 feet wide. It is two
way 'Nith parKil'ng on both sides. It is a short street with not
much traffic. There have been no incidents or accidents that we
Know of due to its present width.
The Engineerin1g Dept. has drawn up
c'Jrt, to curb, land has met .wi th the
desiqn details. The Engineers seem
of cost a,nd si'mpl i city. More than
into front ya~ds, driveways, etc.)
plans for a 20 foot improvement,
neighbors to work out the
to favor this plan (because
20 feet would cut drastically
We, the property owners who consitute the Improvement District,
do not ,,'ant mo,re than a 20 foot roadway. We also want parKing on
at least one side.
Therefore, we :are request i ng a 20 foot two-way road wi th park i ng on
one side. The're are precedents for 20 foot, two-way, parKing-on-
one-side, stre~ts right in the neighborhood (Mead at Vista - this
gets even more traffic than Auburn; Hillcrest with no I imitation
on p.~r'King.)
If this should cause problems, then later we would be will ing to
a,pply for' one-i.,oay desigr.ation. crf it were to be one-way, we
thinK it shoul~ go from Iowa to Gresham because Iowa is easier
in snow and ic~; and the turn onto Gresham from Auburn is easier
tha,n onto 10Wl.!. I>Jhat little traffic there is seems to be equal
in either direttion. This is a short street, by no means a
col 1 Eo c t or or ap t eo ria 1 . )
,
I
We prefer the parking to be on the NE side, since there will be a
walKway or sidewalK there.
I
We hereby requ~st a hearing with the City Council and/or Traffic
Commi'.':,ion ifth;;,t is necessary. !Ale thanK you for your consideration.
We also want tb mention that we have been pleased with the
cooDer.B,t i ve sp1i r it of the Engi neers. They have been very accom-
mc,da,tin9 in ma:King this project, involuntary for some owners, as
acceptable as possible. They have not only I istened well, but
have done thei~ best to minimize property change and ~pset.

REQUESTS FOR TRANSFERS OF APPROPRIATIONS WITHIN FUNDS
Several budgetary matters need Council action:
1. Due to workers compensation coverage and other matters, it was
necessary to hire some of the workers for the Perozzi Fountain
project, rather than contracting the work.
2. Parks & Recreation salary and benefit changes for 1985-86 need
to be appropriated.
3. The Hospital needs to replace a cauterizing unit which has
become inoperative.

WORKERS COMPENSATION ALTERNATIVES
In order to reduce workers compensation costs to the City, the
safety program has been accelerated in the operating departments.
To further reduce these costs, we wish to explore other alterna-
tives, to the City's existing workers compensation insurance pro-
gram. Toward that goal, we are asking Council permission to
apply for the program now being formed by the League of Oregon
Cities, in cooperation with the counties' league. .
The attached Resolution is required as a prerequisite to parti-
cipating, but it does not create any obligation or responsibility
beyond those already imposed upon us by statute.
Before signing a contract with a new carrier or self-insurance
group, I would cautiously review all facets of the proposal, not
just initial cost. Then a recommendation would be presented for
your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE CITY/COUNTY-
C.I.S. WORKERS COMPENSATION SELF-INSURED GROUP
WHEREAS, the City of Ashland desires to protect its employees
through statutorily-required workers compensation coverage at the
least possible cost and without unnecessary financial risk; and
WHEREAS, at this time, the City/County - C.I.S. Workers
Compensation Program appears to meet these criteria;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:
1. The City of Ashland agrees to be liable for the payment
of any compensation due subject workers of the City of
Ashland or other amounts due to the Oregon Worker's
Compensation Department under ORS 656 incurred by the
City of Ashland. Further, the City of Ashland under-
stands and agrees that should the City of Ashland ter-
minate from the group that the City of Ashland will
continue to be liable for the payment of any compen-
sation due its subject workers and other amounts due the
Workers' Compensation Department when such compensation
and other amounts arise out of a period when the City of
Ashland was a member of the group.
2. The Director of Finance is authorized to apply for partici-
pation in the Program, to examine proposals, and to make
recommendations concerning insurance coverage to the City
Administrator.
