Arnold said the City could impose a 2% utility.user tax instead of the PEG access fee. Tim Shove said the City should retain the right of rate review. Almquist disagreed and said rate regulation is extremely complex and he would rather not have City staff get involved. He also stated that the Council decided in 1982 to tie rates to the _ Rogue Valley average and that this was negotiated in good faith with the cable company for the term of the franchise. Pete Belcastro, Dir. of the Cable Access Channel, said he does not believe TCI's rates are out of line or that they will be raised to an outrageous level.

Olson, Assistant City Engineer p�1tAj8Lt: Revised Tolman Creek Road Assessment As I discussed with many of you, the manner in which the "Albertson's" credit was shown, Adjustment No. 2, on the final assessment sheet was in error. In actuality, Albertson's has made an advance payment of$9,138.74 on this assessment for work which they contracted outside of the L.I.D. This work, if not . previously done, would have increased the total construction cost by $9,138.74 and should be reimbursed by the remaining owners. However, we are limited in what can be passed onto the district by the 10% maximum overrun requirements as set by the Council.. The credit to Albertson's is required; however given the assessment limitations that we are facing, the credit must be made up by the City rather than the assessment district. If there is some flaw to my reasoning, please let me know. Attached is a revised assessment sheet showing new costs for each owner. The overage amount to be born by the City will now be $68,147.74. If the revised assessment sheet is acceptable, we should send it to the owners immediately. ° _ o pia as z n a s 3 A S P VI a a s e e a a _ 0 � W U � ° O � 4 a H oa �� w � w U 8 8 " a o $ b '�t 7 p■sd •° u1 u1 u1 u1 w u1 u1 u5 IS Y1 t5 u5 IS Y1 � u5 IS d � u5 u5 � Of rmaraitdum OREGON •� 26 March 1993 Jill Turner., Nan Franklin, Brian Almquist, Steve Hall rum: James H.

(See 28 May 1992 memo from Steve Hall) By prior agreement, the following costs are applicable: A. Amount to be Assessed = $249,322.00 B. Amount of Overage (By City) . _ $59,002.00 The total assessable footage is 3,815.73 feet. The base rate of assessment is $249,322.00 _ 3,815.73 feet = $65.34 per foot. Two adjustments are required in this base rate. The first, as required by Council, provides for a credit to residential lots based upon the difference in construction costs between a residential street and a collector street. The second adjustment is a credit to Albertson's for curb and sidewalk which they installed and paid for. The adjustments are referred to as Adjustments No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in the following formulas. ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENTS 1. Adjustment No. 1 This adjustment to be applied as a credit to residential properties (11C-1200; 11C-1300, 11C-1400, and 11C-90,000) and a debit to commercial lots (all other lots). This adjustment represents the difference between a standard residential street width of 36 feet and a commercial/industrial width of 40 feet, being 4 feet . This cost to be for excavation and base rock only. The cost of the retaining wall will also be deleted from the residential lots. Computation of adjustment is as shown below- The difference between a residential street and a collector(Tolman j Creek Road) is as follows: Base Rock- residential - 6 inches; collector - 14 inches = 8 inches difference. Excavation - residential - 4 inches (avg.); collector - 10 inches = 6 inches difference. A. ROCK BASE 1.

RETAINING WALL L Cost = $7,175.00 TOTAL COST OF ADJUSTMENT NO. 1 = $80960.41 The above credit of$8,960.41 will be applied to lots IIC-1200, 11C-1300, 11C- 1400, and I IC-90,000 which comprise 871.70 feet of frontage. The rate per foot for this credit is ($8,960.41 _ 871.70 feet) - $10.28 per foot. To,fund this credit, the remaining lots (2,944.03 feet) will be assessed the additional $8,960.41 which amounts to $3.04 per. foot. u Much 1993-Pate z Toimm crack Road Aa+eaumm DWrict No.65 . 2. Adjustment No. 2 This adjustment to be applied as a credit to Albertson's for sidewalk, and curb and gutter construction which was completed outside the LA'D., and was paid for by the developers. The amount of adjustment is based upon the bid price for constructing, curb and gutter ($5.50/ft.) and the bid price for constructing 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk ($17.00/S.Y.)

The council agenda as published in the Tidings April 5, 1993 made no mention of losing ten parking places. We therefore request immediate withdrawal of the approval and Proper notification for the public hearing. We are of the strong opinion that ",requesting use of the area behind Lithia Stationers on Winburn Way" has the connotation of Calle Guanajuato and NOT the ten parking spaces you have awarded.

Mayor and City Council r rom: Rob Winthrop, Councilor UbjPtt: Auto Confiscation Ordinance As you may be aware Gresham, Portland and some other jurisdictions have enacted ordinances which would either impound or confiscate vehicles in cases of repeated drunk driving convictions or driving without insurance. After the tragic accident last November which placed Angela Barber in a coma, I asked our distinguished City Attorney what we might be able to do along these lines. He has done some preliminary research. Before asking him to take more time on this matter, I would like to know if this general approach is something the Council is willing to consider. Since I cannot be at tonight's meeting, which should simplify matters, perhaps you could give some sense of direction to Paul on this issue. cc: Brian Almquist, City Administrator Paul Nolte, City Attorney (d:Xco ciI\rWAutocm.Ord) MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council RE: Biycle Traffic on Siskiyou Blvd. It ' s ba - ack. No, it ' s not a rerun; but the sequel . Son of the Siskiyou Bicycle Creature, or Siskiyou II . A number of things are happening which could affect this project and help us work toward a solution . First, our Capital Improvement Plan , which we approved, has a proposal in it concerning Siskiyou Blvd . and it includes a proposal for a "bicycle lane. " We are beginning work on that project by hiring Midge Thierolf to prepare a landscape design for Siskiyou Blvd. I have talked with Midge and have discussed with her the long- term need for bicycle transportation on Siskiyou Blvd. and, at this point, she intends to present to us more than one proposal which will involve, both leaving the street in its current configuration, and altering the street to include safe passage for bicycles . Secondly, I received the letter from Dean Bolstad from SOSC which is attached. I know of Dean Bolstad ' s interest in this project and when I saw the word "funds" in his letter, it spurred me to action. Additionally, there is a plan to resurface Siskiyou Blvd. by ODOT in 1997 . Finally , more federal monies are becoming available under recent legislation. The purpose of all this is to seek a sense of the Council statement that we want to solve the problem. I would then send the attached letter to Mike Anhorn which would indicate that resolve on our part. We all know how hard it is to retrofit such a project . It seems to me that if we begin a landscaping project which will maintain the status quo, even if it is designed to allow a later change, and then we add resurfacing to the street, then we ' ve probably missed our chance in the 901s . 1 DRESCHER & ARNOLD ATTORNEYS AT LAW 300 E.

I presented this issue to the Ashland City Council on Tuesday, April 20 , 1993 . The Council has asked me to convey to you our request that you work with the City of Ashland to help us achieve a solution whereby bicycles can be safely accommodated on Siskiyou .Blvd. It is our goal to make Ashland more friendly to bicycles than it is today. The City of Ashland realizes that in order to achieve that goal we must provide for safe bicycle travel on Siskiyou Blvd. In helping us work on this problem, we need your assistance , not only in design and structure , but in funding, as well. I look forward to our meeting on April 26 . Sincerely, G.

The Southern 2000 Mastar Plan has a strong commitment to continuing our development of bike parking, paths, lanes, and designated routes to encourage safe, convenient access to campus classrooms and facilities. We are pleased that the City of Ashland Bicycle Commission is hard at work on similar objectives for the City. As one of the major sources as well as destinations of riders in Ashland, the SOSC campus serves as a major node in this network.. One continuing source of frustration for both bicycle riders and motorists is the lack of a safe, usable route from downtown, along Siskiyou Boulevard, to the campus. Near misses are a frequent complaint and a major deterrent to those who would otherwise commute by bicycle. To that end, we want to add our support for your Bicycle Commission's efforts to resolve this difficult issue. I thought you would like to know we have some pedestrian safety funds available and are prepared to use them to assist the City and/or State in funding some needed improvements affecting the median and pavement in front of the College. We believe we can jointly develop a prototype design that will enhance both bicycle, and pedestrian safety and still preserve the ambience of the boulevard so important to the City and our campus. We look forward to working with you in your planning efforts. Sincerel ours, Ronald S.

Free Use of Teen Center by Marty Bryant Councilor Arnold, who chairs the Committee on Homelessness, has spoken with Mr. Bryant about the use of the Teen Center at no charge to serve meals to the homeless. Contrary to news reports and an Editorial in last Wednesday's Tidings, neither Councilor Arnold nor I agreed to "loan his program the use of Pioneer Hall in Lithia Park once a week for 8 to 12 weeks" . What Councilor Arnold and I discussed was to allow Mr. Bryant to: (1) Use the Teen Center free of charge the first week for an organizational meeting to see if there were others in the community willing to help. (2) Assuming the project was feasible, to use the Center and Kitchen for a couple of weeks to see if the need was there, and that the facilities were left in a clean and orderly condition. (3) To be assured that Mr. Bryant could secure the proper County Health permit to serve meals to the public. (4) Assuming the above 3 conditions were met, Councilor Arnold agreed to ask the Council for a longer term approval to use the facility free of charge. On Wednesday of this week I received the attached report from Sue Hart, indicating that the facility had been left in a clean and orderly manner, and had no objection to its continued use, subject to the following: (1) Due to other activities in the main hall, and other groups who have pre-rented the Hall and Kitchen on Thursday nights through the Summer, that Wednesday night would be the only night the facility could be made available. (See Sue Hart's memo) (2) That Mr. Bryant sign an indemnification agreement as prepared by the City Attorney. (3) That the Council consider whether or not insurance should be provided. (The Youth in Transition homeless meal program at Hunter Park has insurance through the Peace House. ) Use of Teen Center April 15, 1993 Page Two (4) That the necessary Health Department permit be maintained. (5) That a brief written plan of operation be provided to the City. (6) That the permit may be revoked by the City Administrator if the above conditions are not followed, or if the facility is not maintained properly. Either Councilor Arnold or I will be available to resolve any problems should they arise. Attachment (1) (d:\council\parks\hmeleaa.Mh) April 14, 1993 TO: ANN/PARKS OFFICE FROM: SUE/COMMUNITY CENTER RE: MARTY BRYANT Marty Bryant is leaving the Pioneer Hall annex and kitchen clean and without damage and I have no objection to his continued use of the space to serve meals to homeless people. If Marty' s activity is going to be offered to the public on a long-term basis, I would like to recommend that it be scheduled on Wednesday nights. What I attempt to do when I schedule two groups in the hall at the same time is to make an effort to see that they are compatible (a) noise-wise and (b) kitchen-wise. Regular Pioneer Hall groups are very flexible and a true pleasure to work with. One-time events are a bit more sensitive to other activities happening in the hall while they are scheduled to use the main hall and they are reluctant to share the kitchen. I 've enclosed copies of Pioneer Hall ' s April and May schedules. One-time events are. primarily interested in the 6:30 to 9:30 PM time slot on weekdays. Basically the week nights that are available for the general public in Pioneer Hall during that evening time slot are two to three Monday's per month and Thursday nights. When Marty first talked to me, he indicated he was open to whatever evening and space that was available and that he only intended to offer meals until the Youth in Transition program was under way at Hunter Park. I suggested he consider Wednesday nights; he said he could consider that once his work schedule changed. . On Wednesday nights, the main hall of Pioneer Hall is scheduled by Boy Scout Troop #112 from 6 to 10 PM. Peace USe IAn Affiliate of )I Fellowship of ReconcIllation P.O.BOX 524 ASHLAND,OR 97520 (507)482-9625 February 18, 1993 Ashland Parks and Recreation Commission Attention: Ken Mickelsen 340 S. Pioneer St. Ashland, OR 97520 Dear Commission Metttbers, On behalf of Peace House and the Youth in Transition Committee, we would like to request the use of the Hunter Park facility for a program of serving a weekly hot meal to homeless adolescents. This letter identifies the problem, the resources available for this program, and the rationale for the Hunter Park site. The Problem It is estimated that between 300-400 adolescents in Jackson County find themselves homeless at some point each year. Most of the time they are homeless because of family dysfunction--parent or child drug and alcohol abuse, physical and sexual abuse, or because neglectful parents simply are not around. Although poverty often is not the primary cause of their homelessness, it very soon becomes a primary condition of being out of their parents' home. Homeless youth suffer from low self-esteem, depression, and suicidal risk. They are often angry, distrustful of adults and authority, and self- destructive. They are also tremendously resilient, surviving highly adverse conditions. They live with friends, teachers, friends of friends, in abandoned buildings, and sometimes outside. Sometimes they engage in petty crime to get by. Most are not on the street and would welcome .the opportunity for meals which would reduce their burden on the families they stay with. Most are local youth who are still in school. Existing programs are insufficient to meet the needs of this population. Youthworks is seeking to expand its host home program and has recently received a grant to create eight apartments for sixteen youth in order to promote transition to independence. The current bottleneck for services is in emergency services: food, overnight shelter and medical services. A hot meals program would allow us to identify and gain rapport with the most marginal youth, and direct them to available services. Available Resources The Youth in Transition Committee (YIT) is composed of the major youth- serving agencies in the county including Youthworks, OnTrack, Adult and Family Services, Ashland Adolescent Center, ACCESS, the Health Department, Crisis Intervention Services, The Job Council, and two school districts 1 Recycled Paper including Ashland. The Committee has endorsed the need for a hot meals program for youth and has lent considerable energy to develop the necessary resources. In addition, the Peace House board has agreed to sponsor the project and to allow a proportion of my time to be devoted to it. I would be Project Coordinator. The Youth Services Commission would provide a $2,000 grant to begin the project, ensuring at least a three month project lifespan. Expected volunteer contributions would extend the life of the program. We have identified three other potential funders and are writing proposals to them now. We have a pool of over 20 volunteers, drawn from the Youth in Transition Committee, Peace House members and the general public, willing to donate food, money, clothes and labor. The alternative class at South Medford High School has undertaken this effort as a school project. These youth will staff the project and get .the word out within the youth culture. Our intent is to avoid having youth feel overwhelmed by adults by keeping them in auxilliary roles, including fundraising. Our volunteers will be given an orientation, modeled on Crisis Interventions' teenline, on how to be most helpful to the youth they meet while providing the necessary supervision. Food will be donated by ACCESS or made available at low .cost, supplemented by direct purchase of fresh produce as the need arises. Volunteers will solicit canned goods, produce, and other foods in the community. Vans will transport youth to and from Medford, and perhaps from other locations if the need arises. This population does not receive adequate medical treatment. The Health Department would provide periodic health coverage on site, and a physician has committed her time as well. Personnel from other agencies would be on- site periodically to inform youth of available services. A Proposal and Rationale We propose the use of the Hunter Park facility in Ashland from 4:00 to 7:30 pm on Wednesdays. We recognize the importance of supervision and cleanliness and are fully responsible for these functions. Sherrie Dresser of the Loaves and Fishes program has agreed to allow us the use of existing equipment. We will obtain pots and pans on a donation basis. ACCESS has offered training and technical support to address health and safety factors. Their letter up support is enclosed. Dace House insurance is being modified for this program to include food liability insurance. We will also be responsible for obtaining the proper license from Jackson County Environmental Health Services and. we have been in contact_ with that office. 2 It is our hope that with a demonstrated need and successful operation, this Project will be adopted by an agency as an ongoing program. We are grateful at your consideration of this proposal. I assure you that the generosity and trust expressed by the Commission with your approval would not be ill-founded.

Almquist, City Administra o 4$UbjPtt: Public Hearing on 4% Option It is recommended that a public hearing be called for Tuesday, May 4 regarding the proposed implementation of the 4% Prepared Food and Beverage (PFB) tax authorized by the voters for the wastewater treatment process upgrade. By that date we should have the semi-official financial data on the wetlands option. The 1993-94 budget includes an appropriation of $1,000,000 for engineering for this option. In the event one of the other options is chosen, the engineering costs would double. The budget also calls for a rate increase of 25%, assuming that the engineering costs will come from the sale of bonds backed by user fees. If the 4% PFB tax option is implemented, it will provide approximately $800,000 toward these costs, and offset a major part of the suggested sewer rate increase. Secondly, since forms and procedures are now being prepared for the 1% PFB tax on July 1, it would be simpler and less costly for both businesses and the City to implement the 4% tax authorized by the voters at this time. In other words, if the Council chooses to offset the proposed sewer rate increase with the PFB option now, it would avoid having to make all the necessary changes twice and would be far less confusing to all parties.
