A memo was read from the Finance Director recommending the use
of $30,000 of Revenue Sharing funds earmarked for the Water Line
Revolving Project fund for a quarterly payment.to the social
agencies affected by the recent threatened cutback of funds by
Revenue Sharing. AJ-mquist noted that each agency would receive
equal shares of . $1l,66i.0.O. as fi~si: payment and. if the revenue
sharing funds are retored the monies will be returned to the
Water Project fund. On Elerath's question as to what the future
holds for the agencies depending on the support of Revenue Sharing
Smith said this amount would give agencies time to plan their
costs and needs, Acklin noted that the appropriate time to discuss
the matter would be at the Budget Committee level so that every-
one could be present to make decisions. Acklin moved that the
portion of revenue sharing be used for funding of agencies for
three months; Reid seconded the motion which passed unanimously
on voice vote.

League of Cities Convention in Seattle saying that the opportun-
ity would be unique in that the organization usually meets in

of budgetary plans. Council discussed the matter at length and
asked that Reid bring back a more specific proposal as to costs.

~ubjett: Park Estates Development - Dr. Aubrey Hiil Letter
I have reviewed Dr. Hill's letter and looked at the
situation on site.
It is true that the fill ends right at the irrigation
ditch. The cut and road fill which produced the fill
in question is only roughed out at present and it is
difficult to see what the final slope will be.

Re: Park Estates Development
Dear Members of the Council:
Part of the extension of south Morton street includes a road fill
west of approximately lot #9. On the east side of this fill is a
bank I estimate to be 20 feet in height and at an angle of approxi-
mately 45 degrees. The bottom of this slope is at the edge of a
portion of the irrigation ditch. Even though there has been very
little rain since the placement of this fill, 'there has already been
an erosion up to one foot in depth. This material was deposited
in irrigation ditch. This deposit is up to 8 inches~in depth now
at the bottom of the ditch. This area is presently marked by/a
stake designated SEW 25.
It is my understanding the granite contains iron molecules. Iron,
especially at the surface of the fill, oxidizes readily. It then
becomes a soluble material which washes out of the remaining granite,
thus leaving a po~o~s surface which is susceptible to perpetual eros-
ion. The process continues to de~pen as :the sarface -erodes.
It appears to me a retaining wall of adequate height, strength and
reinforcement is required to avoid a continuing problem. There
are probably other solutions.
I strongly request the city's engineering department investigate
this matter and that the city not accept the completed work until
the engineering department is satisfied with the solution.

Members of the Council;
We are appearing at the Tuesday, July 16th City Council meeting
to request a time extension for the Farmers Market, presently operating
from 8 a,m. to 11 a,m.
Our location is a '12 space parking lot on Guanajuato Way, Due to '
the heavy demand on parking in that area our marketing time and use of
that lot had been decreased from our original request, Now that the
market has operated for six weeks, oUMeeds have become clear, We will
be able to operate the market using only 4 of the 12 parking spaces,
On all previous Saturdays we have shared the parking lot with the public,
Ldf:TJ )} ( )
Considering the fact we are placing less of a demand on parking, we
request an extension from the 11 a,m, closing to extend to a 1 p,m, closing.
Our most~selling begins close to 11 a.m.---- it's going to take more than
one season to get folks in the habit of coming early.
Your support will be greatly appreciated!!!!!
Thank you,

RE: Street Assessment - District No. 43 - Tax Lot l4CC-2900
Dear Ms. Grimshaw:
In reviewing your street assessment lien, I find that the
payment due on January 15, 1985 has not been paid.
You will recall that you signed a 'Confession of Lien' on
May 18, 1982 agreeing to pay the street lien in full by
April I, 1983. On March 15, 1983, you appeared before the
Ashland City Council on this matter and at that time, the ~'
Council voted to extend the time and give you until January~
1985, at which time the monies would be due and payable or
the loan assumed by new owners if your property sold.
If payment is not received by July 10, 1985, this matter will
be placed on the City Council agenda for July 16, 1985 for
action to be taken.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Yours Truly,

RE: Sidewalk Assessment - District No. 49 - Tax Lot 5DD-8000
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Troutman:
As you recall, the Ashland City Council, at ~ts regular meet-
ing on January 22, 1985, considered your appeal concerning
your sidewalk assessment, and it was determined that a mini-
mum monthly payment of $10.00 be required, beginning February
1, 1985.
L have received no payment from you since April 11, 1985. If
payments for May, June and July are not received in my office
by July 10, 1985, this matter will be placed on the Council
agenda for July 16, 1985.

I sincerely hope you will meet this schedule so further
action will. not be necessary.

Ashland, OR 97520
Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council:
I would like to take this opportunity to inform the council that I
met with City Administrator, Brian Almquist, and Director of
Public Works, Al Alsing. We have discussed the possibility of the
initial work which is being done on Park Estates subdivision in
the south hills of Ashland to serve as the beginning of a water
system for the high-level area between Terrace Street and Beach.
In our discussion, it was agreed that information would have to be
put together by the city staff to give guidance to the council as
to the feasibility of this request. I would request your in-
structing staff to prepare a report for your next council meeting
so that this .item could be placed on the agenda and discussed at
the meeting. I feel that this can be mutually beneficial to the
city of Ashland, Park Estate subdivision and for other individuals
who are interested in the development of their property in the
south hills.
Your consideratioh ~f this request will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Since fire danger is already quite high due to the
hot summer and lack of rain, and it will become
greater as 'the summer goes along, we are becoming
quite concerned with the unauthorized travel in this
area.
The Ashland Department of Public Safety shares our
concern and has indicated that the Fire Chief has the
authority to close the roads into the area. i

The U.S. Forest Service has indicated that it IWOUld
support such a closure.

In the event that the Council agrees, we have ~ttached
