MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
ASHLAND CITY COUNCIL
JUNE 18, 1991
CALL TO ORDER - Mayor Catherine Golden called the meeting to order and led the
Pledge of Allegiance at 7:32 PM on the above date in the Council Chambers. Laws,
Williams, Acklin and Arnold were present. Reid and Winthrop were absent.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - The Minutes of the continued regular meeting of June 5th,
1991 were approved as presented.
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS - Jim Olson, Asst. City Engineer and City Surveyor, was
presented with a certificate of appreciation for 20 years of dedicated service. Steve
Hall thanked Olson for the few year he's had the opportunity to work with Olson and
thanked him for All Alsing too who could not be present tonight. Olson just completed
testing for certified water rights examiner.
SPECIAL AGENDA ITEM - Confirmation of Mayor's appointment of Richard B. Thierolf
as interim City Attorney. Arnold moved approval, Acklin seconded, all ayes on voice
vote.
CONSENT AGENDA - Williams moved passage of the consent agenda and Arnold
seconded, all ayes on voice vote.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor asked Council to consider looking at Rem #3 first. Laws so moved and Acklin
seconded, all ayes on voice vote.
Proposed consideration of a revised building moratorium due to inadequate
water pressures in area of Strawberry Lane. Thierolf previously discussed the
proposed moratorium with Fregonese, Hall, Bashaw, Almquist and the Mayor and
researched the law as well as he could. The decision is very likely to be ruled quasi-
judicial if a court of appeals ever considered the question, and in light of that, the best
procedure would be to treat the notice requirement as falling within the rules for notice
of quasi-judicial matters, i.e., individual notice to all affected property owners. This is
Type 3 procedure, which also requires that each affected property owner should get
noticed. He suggested tabling the public hearing and noticing all affected property
owners. Golden asked if the City is liable if we notice all property owners but, due to
recent sales, the tax lot list is not up to date and everyone does not get notification..
Fregonese said the City has to have an affidavit that shows'good faith effort to give
notice, if they don't receive the notice, it doesn't invalidate the procedure. Almquist
said Type 3 requires a 20 day notice and the earliest date we could set the public
hearing for would be July 16th. August 6th might be better which already has two
public hearings scheduled so far. Acklin asked what they were and Almquist
responded another economic element of the comp plan and zone change. Laws
suggested postponing the comp plan element of that meeting. Williams said we .

should consider the philosophical issue, before going to the expense of notifying
everyone, we need to decide whether to present a proposal first which may negate the
need to set up the moratorium. It could save time and money. Acklin said there are a
number of alternatives to consider before going to the general obligation bond option.
Laws said it makes sense to ask for the proposal for resolution of the problem to be
brought back as soon as possible and at that time we can determine if we need a
moratorium, and suggested that today's date be the effective date of the ordinance if
we do need a moratorium. Golden asked if it could be done simultaneously. Acklin
said that would be appropriate. Hall believed state statutes says we have to be
through the second reading on the ordinance of the moratorium before considering the
options for solving the moratorium issue. Acklin said considering that, it would not be
appropriate to hold simultaneously. Thierolf said there is no law against trying to solve
the water problem without first adopting a moratorium. Williams moved to table the
action until staff has time to come back with a proposal to solve the problem, Acklin
seconded. Arnold said on the question of the moratorium, he has a conflict of interest
and will not be voting. The motion carried on voice vote with Arnold abstaining.
Planning Action No. 91-082, the proposed adoption of the Economic Element of
the Comp Plan. Fregonese said they've been working on the economic element
since 1989. CPAC, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Planning Commission has
had several work sessions. Both CPAC and the Planning Commission adopted it
unanimously. Williams noted on the last page, policy 7, regarding encouraging
businesses that do not to use a lot of water. Would we be violating our policy if down
the road we decided to build a pipeline to Medford and could allow a business like a
cannery? Fregonese said when that condition happens, you could update the plan.
It's not set in stone and should be reviewed frequently. The public hearing was
opened. Mark Murphy, 492 Lynn St., commented that he could not get the minutes of
the last Planning Commission meeting, and so suggested either continuing or consider
having one more public hearing on this serious issue. The public needs to be
informed how important this is in terms of its ramifications for residential
neighborhoods as well as economic zones. He addressed the philosophy of mixed
uses, and a copy of his transcript is included in the record: Fregonese said the only
thing the minutes say is that the planning commission moved to adopt the plan
unanimously. He said the minutes can be added to record within 10 days if Council
leaves the record open. Golden commented on the item regarding land for airport uses
and explained to Murphy that tie-many businesses need to be located near
airports, not just airport hangars. The intent of the airport land is to protect that land
for airport uses. Fregonese said mixed uses were debated a lot and Ashland is a
mixed use town. He showed slides of mixed uses, i.e., A Street area is a perfect
example of mixed uses. Planners are trying to get away from rigid uses. It separates
people from their employment and encourages use of the automobile. Fregonese told
Council there is nothing that they would be adopting tonight that would change how
residential uses are permitted in commercial zones. He reviewed the vacant lands
inventory, showed slides and entered a list of slides and the slides into the record.
There was no map included in the packet as intended. Golden asked Fregonese to
address the concerns of Murphy pertaining to conditional uses of E-1 land, that is, if
we allow residential uses on E-1 land, they won't be there when we need it for
Minutes - Regular Meeting - Ashland City Council - June 18, 1991 - P. 2
employment uses. Fregonese agreed with Murphy that our current ordinance has
served us well. Any future proposal needs to address the balance of commercial and
E-1 land. The new plan doesn't change that, the idea is mixed use, not exclusively
residential. Murphy said this will drive him and some other people out of the city limits.
He said the slides may show vacant land but they don't answer questions as to why
that land is not usable. The ad for this public hearing does not let the public know
what's really being done to the comp plan. The public hearing was closed. Acklin
said original comp plan did include housing that was a possible use in an E-1 zone,
the intent being to allow for mixed uses. Acklin moved to adopt the economic element
of the comp plan and Williams seconded. Fregonese reminded Council to leave the
record open for a period of 10 days to allow the addition of the Planning Commission
minutes. Acklin amended her motion, and Williams seconded, the motion carried
unanimously on roll call vote.
Continuation of hearing on reconsideration of a CUP and site review on remand
from LUBA to allow construction at Hospital. Fregonese said the City's first land
use mediation has been successful and both parties have agreed to plan which is
contained in Plan B. The mediation agreement is included and David Schieber,
mediator, is present for any questions. Fregonese said Council can adopt as a CUP
but not as a site review. Council has authority to move buildings and change access
after approval of the CUP. Staff will come back with separate site review for this
process at a Type 1 level. Fregonese noted Item C, two 2-story medical office
buildings will be built with each level comprising 2700 square feet, that's each level of
each building, a total of 10,800 square feet, noted for the record. It can be confusing
as written. Open public hearing. David Schieber, available for questions, thanked
Council for allowing the mediation. This was a 2 year dispute where the parties didn't
speak to each other for over a year. Golden closed the public hearing. Acklin moved
to accept the CUP according to mediation agreement and ask staff to bring back
findings supporting the decision, Arnold seconded. The motion carried unanimously
on roll call vote. Council thanked Schieber.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS - List of Hospital Board members was not included in packet
so this item was postponed for two weeks.
NEW & MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
Letter from Gary Schrodt. Almquist read a memo to Mayor and City Council dated
June 13th. Schrodt said he doesn't have any water use that's part of production
operation other than rest room facilities. He talked about transferring an existing use.
The amount of effluent that would be discharged is insignificant. If denied, he has
concerns about installing a septic system. He is willing to sign an agreement to be
annexed into the City when the City is ready. This was proposed to the county as a
conditional use permit which allows the City a say with any further use. His business
would be an asset to the City. It's a cottage industry, environmentally sound. Hall
ai this is currently being served by a 4" line. Golden asked how many fixturesco� a
lin accommodate and Hall said he didn't knoWthe exact amount but Council could
direct staff to find out. A 4" line should handle both units. Laws noted the response
from the City Attorney was missing. Almquist said it is within Council's discretion.
Minutes - Regular Meeting -Ashland City Council - June 18, 1991 - P. 3
Acklin said the agreements predates the ordinance on subject. Williams asked now
that we have agreement with Jackson County, does Council still have discretion?
Almquist said the City Attorney felt Council had that discretion. Arnold asked if mobile
home is a rental and used now. Schrodt said the mobile is a key part of the business
and is a dark corner, and he's concerned with theft and break ins. Arnold said if we
transferred the agreement from the mobile to the factory lot, that would not meet
Schrodt's needs. Schrodt said he would have to go to the county for a septic system
for the mobile. He expects to be annexed eventually so it seems like a waste of
money. Laws moved to adopt request with conditions suggested by staff, Acklin
seconded. Williams clarified that the motion means to transfer the service. Laws said
he moved to accept the amendment to the agreement as written by staff, and not go
beyond an amendment to the existing agreement. Acklin withdrew her second. She
wants both services and not a transfer. Laws withdrew the motion. Hall made a point
of clarification, his request was for the transfer of service, not two services. Under our
current ordinance, if a building permit or sewer connection is granted after July 1st,
Schrodt would have to pay for the dqBmnce in the number of fixture units between
S�(� a,and mobile and those in the plant i SECs Acklin said if this were two homes on 4ve- 47LQ_A
�—o}�'tha"Counry wo d probably urge'To—be connected to sewer rather than another
septic system. Williams moved to accept the second service under the condition that
the County will agree to it. Arnold asked if the motion allows service to both the
factory and the mobile? Williams said providing the Council agreed. Arnold seconded
and asked how could county can prohibit us from doing that? Almquist said the only
impediment might be the urban growth boundary agreement. Laws suggested not
referring to the county at all but to just make an amendment to our existing agreement
to include service to both. Williams withdrew the motion and Arnold the second.
Arnold said we need to deal with wording in paragraph 1 on the bottom of page 1 to
show that we are amending our agreement to include both mobile home and factory,
rather than calling it a transfer. Arnold moved to allow the request, include the
language that staff has proposed with the exception that paragraph 1 be amended to
allow service to both the mobile home and the factory. Acklin seconded, all ayes on
voice vote.
PUBLIC FORUM Opened and closed without comment.
ORDINANCES. RESOLUTIONS & CONTRACTS
Second reading by title only of an ordinance levying taxes for fiscal year 1991-
92. Williams moved to adopt the ordinance and Arnold seconded, the motion carried
unanimously on roll call vote (Ord 2635).
First reading by title only of an ordinance authorizing and ordering the
improvement of Lori Lane. Arnold moved passage to second reading and Williams
seconded. The motion carried unanimously on roll call vote.
First reading by title only of an ordinance amending Title 10 of the AMC. Acklin
moved passage to second reading and Arnold seconded. The motion carried
unanimously on roll call vote.
Minutes - Regular Meeting - Ashland City Council - June 18, 1991 - P. 4
First reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 10.88 of the AMC relative to
tobacco products. Almquist read the ordinance. Williams asked what the
significance of the blind section was. Acklin said the ordinances that this was modeled
after did not want to discriminate against news and smoke type of businesses
operated by blind people. Arnold thought the blind person couldn't see who was
buying the cigarettes so would not prohibit from having a vending machine. Williams
moved passage to second reading striking (7) on page 1 under Section 2 and (d) and
(e) under Section 4 on page 2. Acklin seconded. Laws liked it the way it was. Arnold
said the only way to enforce the proposed ordinance is for police to run a sting
operation. Arnold doesn't like an ordinance that can only be enforced with this
operation. He felt we should prohibit vending machines, except in a few places
licensed by OLCC, places only open to employees, and those not accessible to under
age 18. Laws partially disagreed with Arnold's philosophy and asked if this ordinance
be adapted? Arnold asked Thierolf If we could prohibit vending machines. Thierolf was
uncertain but could research and report back. Laws moved to amend motion by
striking (b) as well. Williams seconded. All ayes on voice vote. Thierolf said he spoke
with Ron Doyle in the audience, who is Sr. Assistant City Attorney for Medford. Doyle
said the City has the power to ban vending machines all together. The state
legislature may pass this proposed statute, which would render any less restrictive
statute moot. The motion to move passage to second reading was passed
unanimously on roll call vote. Arnold asked that the ordinance be brought back in
amended form for second reading.
Resolution authorizing participation in Aetna deferred compensation plan. There
has been some dissatisfaction with the existing two compensation plans offered so
Finance has sought out proposals and settled on Aetna as a third choice. Almquist
read the resolution. Williams moved adoption of resolution and Laws seconded, the
motion carried unanimously on roll call vote.
Resolution transferring appropriations within funds. Golden said under #5 in the
resolution, the $1700 can be removed because no one has put in for overtime.
Almquist agreed because there was a miscommunication between Turner and
Almquist. Acklin moved to strike #5, continue with the resolution and place this item
on the agenda, Williams seconded. The motion carried unanimously on roll call vote.
Almquist noted that a memo from Administrator Jim Watson regarding the hospital
fund indicated they are asking for an increase in the transfer from $300,000 to
$550,000 in order to handle the large additional operational expenses being incurred
due to higher utilization of hospital services and in order to be in compliance with state
budgetary guidelines. -
Laws moved to adopt the resolution with the exception of part 5 and allow the
amendment to the Hospital fund, Williams seconded. Almquist read the resolution, the
motion carried unanimously on roll call vote. (Reso 91-24)
Acklin was interested in discussing the police overtime. Almquist noted that the Mayor
had called employees of the PD in for interviews and he felt employees should be paid
overtime. Golden said the interviews were not mandatory and employees came on
their own accord. She understood that overtime was paid for work similar to work
Minutes - Regular Meeting - Ashland City Council - June 18, 1991 - P. 5
I
they would do while on duty. Golden said she has interviewed employees in the past
and it gives her a chance to meet the employees and gives her an opportunity of the
workings of different departments. Acklin referenced a copy of the Mayor's letter that
some items for discussion were currently in arbitration. Golden said as soon as it was
brought to her attention, it was not discussed. Almquist said there are ground rules
with various bargaining units that management is to deal with union only through
designated spokespersons regarding matters under collective bargaining. Acklin said
at least one employee said topics were discussed. Williams shared Acklin's concerns
and feels we could be in violation of unfair labor act. He found it unethical and feels it
jeopardizes the city. Golden said items were not discussed after called to her
attention. When letter was generated, she didn't realize that arbitration was continuing
after a year. Arnold asked City Attorney about overtime pay and Thierolf said yes,
employees should get paid for overtime under direction of employer. Arnold sees the
expenditure as inappropriate and needs to be addressed. One person (the Mayor)
has established a type of city program, an analysis or department interview program,
unauthorized. He said unauthorized expenditures must be stopped if such a program
is unauthorized. Mayor asked if this meant she could not meet with employees except
under approval of Council. Arnold said there is a program where Council meets with
employees and their departments. If Mayor wants to organize a formal process, she
needs to go through Council. Golden said she talked with department heads first and
got their okay. She doesn't feel she needs to come before Council but will schedule
interviews during city time in future. Williams felt this action undermined the union
agreement. If the Mayor feels departments need investigation, it should be shared with
Council. Laws said Golden should look at the way it affects administration as a whole.
He doesn't agree that she doesn't have right to interview, investigate or do audit. He
was not questioning her legal right, but advises in the process of investigating
department activities, to be careful not to undermine the administrative process. It
should be done in close cooperation with the City Administrator and the department
heads so as not to go around the chain of command. Gordon Medaris, said
employees can't have two bosses. The City Administrator is in charge. He would like
to see Golden attend to Mayor's duties. Golden said employees are still citizens and
have the right to come to the Mayor. She is not telling Almquist or Lively how to run
their departments. Laws notes that her letter implies more than getting acquainted.
Arnold said action must be taken and moved to instruct the City Administrator to
advise all department heads that no additional compensation is to be paid to anyone
for participation in this interview process with the Mayor. Further, Almquist should
instruct all employees that such requests from the Mayor are not authorized and
therefore, the employee is not required to attend, that such interviews are qpmpletely
voluntary.lAcklin suggested having a union representative present as well. olden

Resolution determining the necessity for the appropriation of certain land for
public use. Almquist said BPA is having difficulty getting approval from SPRR to get
onto property to make some further environmental reviews. If we are unsuccessful in
doing so, it will be important to have the City pass a resolution initiating condemnation,
giving the City the right to go onto property to do environmental reviews. He hopes

Resolution amending pay plan for management and confidential employees for
fiscal Year 1991-92. Almquist said they have reached settlements are with all
bargaining units except for police. These agreements call for an adjustment equal to
the March 90-91 CPI-W effective July 90-91. Recommends increasing management
and confidential employees be increased by 4.6% effective July 1, 1991 and attached
resolution be adopted. Almquist read resolution. Williams moved adoption of
resolution, Arnold seconded. Laws asked if there was an amendment to the schedule.
Almquist said yes, the Senior Program Director is included. The motion carried with
Laws abstaining. (Reso 91.26)
Ratification of new 3-year agreement with the Electrical Worker's Union.
Almquist read memo to Mayor and Council dated June 4th, 1991. Laws moved to
authorize signature, Arnold seconded. The motion carried unanimously on roll call
vote.
