ADJOURNMENT Meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m. Russell E. Chadick, Acting Recorder Catherine M. Golden, Mayor (r:MinmcsW-20.94.n in)pg.4 1 . Tom Ramoss Tom has served in the Water Quality Division for the past thirty years. During this period he has participated in many improvements projects and maintenance to the water and sewer systems of this community. To this end Tom has dedicated his fife. Unlike many professions where the work done is visible, most of the work performed by Tom is invisible, because it is buried. It is part of "Underground Ashland" that brings water to, and used water away from our homes and businesses. Tom has served long and faithful in his job performance. There have been the additional projects accomplished that went beyond the normal work scene, such as what occurred during the flood of 1974. Tom was in charge of a crew that had been sent to Reeder Reservoir to build a log boom in back of Hosler Dam. The purpose of the boom was to keep the floodgates free of ice. This work was done without benefit of Gear skies or a sunny day. It was accomplished in the middle of a very black stormy night, with high winds blowing through the trees at the job site. Knowing the importance of keeping the floodgates free of ice, Tom kept his crew together and working until the boom was constructed. Another capacity that Tom has served in, is that of the "Water Duty Man". Over the years, Tom has stood duty for one week periods, anywhere from once every four weeks, to once every seven weeks. The "Duty Man" is the guy that gets the customer assistance call late at night, early in the morning, or on a Holiday. He is the guy that gets up, gets dressed, de-ices his duty truck, and responds to that call for assistance. This is the same guy that leaves his family's holiday dinner to help others. Tom has acted in this capacity for twenty-eight years. One of the things Tom would tell you about this duty, is that the time between duty weeks goes much faster than the duty week itself. All in all, the past thirty years of service by Tom, represents a commitment of dedication, loyalty, and sacrifice, to the community and the City in which he serves. l y.�$'ii:�f,6.1+Irr?^�i./;." ��•^:+.{.''c',.,.°i.4;�:'d�ifp��"�a ,(°�:iila''" :ati�H" .:� ��.gapr... .�-r.}:..:.,ca;r .;�iia��r' :iii:;;fc:. ;�g. .y. ,rt ?a v'r ;�Y � x nn► r ^�11I ...1 G'/i a's , !._., n..dy,.j I f its mss. p �• � �. ! ;li M g� ,I�.A.1 h V` 5 v 11 �N/MlP 1.�-..+{! ;�,IV =• ."^/1,�+ NI ,.

Wood, Larry Cardinale, Jim Lewis, Bill Harriff, Chloe Winston, Steve Ennis and Keith Chambers. Also present were Associate Planner Mark Knox and Secretary Sonja Akerman. Casey Mitchell was absent. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Wood moved and Chambers seconded to approve the Minutes of the August 3, 1994 meeting as submitted. The motion passed unanimously. STAFF REPORTS PA 94-109 Conditional Use Permit 774 "C" Street Myrtle Franklin Knox explained this application is for the conversion of a 416 square foot garage into a one- unit traveller's accommodation, which is allowed in the R-2 zone. Philip Lang called this action up for a public hearing because of the negative impacts this would have on the neighborhood. Staff disagrees with this because it is in conformance with the relevant Comprehensive Plan policies. The applicant plans to add a porch to the garage, of which the details and trim will match the existing house and its new porch. Knox noted the applicant is sensitive to her neighbors, as the added parking space will utilize cement tire areas mixed with brick and grass. Staff feels there will be less impact on the area than an apartment and will, in fact, benefit the immediate area. Skibby asked the distance of the cottage to the fence. Knox said it is ten feet, but it could be as close as three feet. Lewis asked if a rental unit would be permitted outright. Knox acknowledged it would. Skibby noted the applicant had been to the Review Board to get ideas for the house and cottage. He then asked about the garden area and the curb cut not being used on "C" Street. Myrtle Franklin related she has no intention of making another driveway. Skibby asked that this be made a condition. Franklin clarified for Wood she will be living in the existing house, will be improving the existing driveway for herself, and will use brick and grass for the new parking space. Philip Lang, 758 "B" Street, stated he had been coming to Ashland since 1982, has lived here since 1992, and that he and his partner own 13 properties in the Railroad District. He emphasized the need for a plan to protect and restore the Railroad District. Only two property owners (including himself) were at the workshop in August. If the Planning Commission continues to approve Conditional Use Permits in the Railroad District, there won't be much left. He feels the City needs to start on a plan for the Railroad District now. He also believes there should be no more transient accommodations approved and no more daytime only uses approved. One by one, Conditional Use Permits are destroying the neighborhood. Lang then said a B & B is not less disruptive than an apartment, and wondered where Staff obtained the data claiming more complaints are received regarding multi-family residences. Also, he does not agree mixed use encourages upgrading of the property, as a conversion to a day use leaves structures dead at night. The City needs to stop doing this and have a plan for the Railroad District. Wood expressed the necessity to address the existing criteria, explaining the City is currently beginning work on a plan for the Railroad District. While he appreciates Lang's comments, the Commission needs to deal with what exists. Lang stated he refutes the criteria. Ennis said he does not disagree with Lang, but the need is to focus on what the current ordinances say. Chambers declared he also got the points Lang made but he should continue to address them in the correct form, as it is not right to attack or fight this small project. This is something the Commission faces at every meeting and he agreed the City needs a plan. Lewis added Lang does have allies and stated the Commission began working on some of these same points two years ago; however, in his opinion, a traveller's accommodation is a residential use, whereby it is relatively easy to go back and forth. Knox interjected the Cities of Ashland and Jacksonville have received a joint grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to look at the Historic Districts. The goal is to reduce the number of trips generated within these districts. Requests for Proposals have been sent out, and by September 30, citizen involvement meetings should begin. He also noted SHPO has money available to address the Landmarks List and address the guidelines. Staff agrees there have been changes in the Railroad District. This is not to say the district will change in the direction Lang is advocating however because ODOT encourages mixed uses. Lang said he feels strongly the City needs a plan that involves everyone. He then inquired if the City knows if all conditions placed on Conditional Use Permits are being met. Knox replied Staff will respond when a complaint is received. Chambers recommended Lang and neighbors lobby the City Council. Ennis informed Lang the subcommittee that worked on proposed changes for the Railroad District to limit commercial growth came to a standstill when he was told the starting point would be public hearings and neighborhood input. Lewis maintained many people in the Railroad District will show up for meetings involving their neighborhood. Ashland Historic Commission Minutes September 7, 1994 Page 2 With a motion by Winston and second by Skibby, it was unanimously agreed to recommend approval of this action to the Planning Commission with the condition the extra curb cut on "C" Street not be used as previously noted plus the three Staff recommended conditions. PROPOSED HOUSE AT 228 "B" STREET John Ferguson, owner of the Pelton House and Carriage House located at 228 "B" Street, and designer Dave Fisse met with the Commission to discuss the design of the proposed house to be located in the far left corner of the property. The house will be the living area for the Ferguson family. Ferguson said he has been negotiating with SHPO for the last six to eight weeks, and an agreement has finally been reached. He explained the ridge line will be the same as the Pelton House. When asked about the existing parking area, Fisse responded the area is 24 feet deep now, but it only needs to be 18 feet. Ferguson verified only four feet of the parking area will be lost. Skibby said he was under the impression the new structure would be similar to the Carriage House. Ferguson replied it is still similar, but his family has lived there and it is too small. In operating a B & B in the Pelton House, his family needs its own space. Skibby stated the proposed structure is too large. Ferguson explained he has had his plans at SHPO for six to eight weeks already and has gone to a lot of expense with the plans which have been submitted for review. The footprint of the new house is 24' x 26'. He is not taking out any trees and is trying to preserve as much grass area as possible. He said it would be more of an impact if it were one story and spread out on the site. Skibby asked Fisse if SHPO was aware of the Historic Commission concerns regarding scale. Fisse replied he had faxed these concerns. Harriff inquired if the elevations presented were dictated by SHPO design concerns. Fisse answered they were. Knox stated when he first spoke with James Hamrick, Deputy Director of SHPO, he indicated the structure should not be higher than a story and a half. He has also spoken with Henry Kunowski at SHPO who has been working on this project. Kunowski indicated he is still open for design changes, especially if it will help preserve the resources on the property. Knox also explained that according to Ashland's ordinances, the proposed structure is considered three stories (due to its two story stature and 12 x 12 roof pitch with dormers) and would not be allowed. Harriff asked if Ferguson could live with a smaller pitch roof. Ferguson said he could and he had already talked with Kunowski about it. Ennis asserted the proposed house is too massive - too narrow and too tall. Given the proximity of the Pelton House, it will be a distraction. Chambers suggested a smaller footprint and lower roof. Lewis stated even if the house was a story and a half, dormers can still be utilized. Ennis and Lewis agreed the roof should be decreased by four feet, then Ashland Historic Commission Minutes September 7, 1994 Page 3 Ennis remarked if the footprint was 24' x 36', the impact would be reduced. Ferguson agreed to reduce the roof pitch by four feet. Skibby asked for a scale drawing of the Pelton House and Carriage House with the one proposed. Harriff stated he would also like to see elevations with the roof height down. Lewis proposed the base be increased, and the upper story with the dormer be reduced in order to retain the same square footage. Ennis stated he personally could not vote for approval if only the roof pitch were dropped by four feet. Knox stated SHPO is concerned with massing down and keeping structures compatible. Ferguson agreed to-go a story and a half. Harriff added he could accept smaller proportions in the windows to reduce the height. He again stated he would like to see elevations of what they are willing to do. Skibby noted the lines of the Pelton House are broken up and this might help with the design of the proposed house also. Lewis stated the Historic Commission, SHPO, and Building Department do not always agree, but there is a need to make them all happy. He also said the utility of the third floor windows seem wasteful. The Site Design and Use Standards require a certain rhythm, and there are other ways to get 1,200 square feet of living space than what has been proposed. The Commission agreed it would like to see elevations of the proposed house with perhaps more than one option. The elevations should also include at least an outline of the Pelton House and the Carriage House. Knox said sketches should be turned in rather than computer generated drawings, as sketches will give more dimension to the project. Fisse requested a response to his rendition using a lowered roof and widow's walk. Chambers replied the north elevation looked OK, but he didn't like the other sides with the flat part. Cardinale commented it would help to get the height down so it is not competing with the Pelton House. Ferguson and Fisse will come to the Review Board on September 15th.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ON THE AGENDA None V. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION NOT ON THE AGENDA . None VI. OLD BUSINESS A. Review of temporary noise rule for parks Commissioners reviewed information received over the last six weeks as to the effectiveness of the temporary noise rule for parks, particularly Lithia Park. The Commission also reviewed a memorandum from the Ashland Police Department dated August 17 in which the Police Department stated its position that enforcing"distance - decibel" standards were not practical, and, therefore, if the Commission chose to keep the. "distance - decibel" rule, that the Police Department would handle such calls on a low priority basis and would use city Ordinance 9.08.170 rather than the decibel rule. Director Mickelsen said that the Police Department would much prefer setting limits for noise with time frames rather than decibel readings. ' In discussion, Commissioner Malone commented that, as a Granite Street resident, that he had not heard of any problems from drumming over the last few weeks when the noise rule has been in effect. He said that the rule appears to be working and would not be in favor of doing away with it because the Police Department felt that it would be difficult to enforce. He inquired as to whether or not the department had received any complaints from either park users or park neighbors since the temporary rule had been in effect. Only one complaint had been received at the department office. Commissioner Adams indicated that she had received two telephone calls. Chair Alsing opened discussion to audience participation. Arthur Anderson (13 N. Main, Ashland) indicated that he believed the current rule had worked well considering the fact that there had been very few complaints. He suggested that the Commission essentially keep the current rule except open it up to seven days a week during the hours stipulated. Larry Bressler (152 Strawberry Lane, Ashland) said that since the new trial period had been put into effect that he had not noticed any particular problem with drumming in the park. He suggested that drumming should be restricted to days and hours so that a person would not have to be subjected to the sound at all hours. Pam Vellutini (180 Patrick Lane) indicated that she felt that in order to keep some• solitude in Lithia Park that drumming could be restricted to certain spots so that it did not occur throughout the park. Regular Meeting.- August 30, 1994 Page 3 Ashland Parks and Recreation Commission F Review of noise rule coNTmu® In discussion among the Commissioners, Commissioner Adams indicated that she believed that the sound from percussion instruments carried much more distinctly than other kinds of musical instruments and that she did not believe it would be discriminatory to restrict the use of percussion instruments without including all musical instruments. She said that her first preference would be to set a radius whereby percussion type sounds would not be heard at all. There was no consensus among other Commissioners supporting that suggestion. Commissioner Malone indicated that he would prefer to keep the decibel - distance standard because it has worked successfully during the trial period for both park users and park neighbors. Commissioner MacGraw concurred. Commissioners Alsing and Adams indicated that in their opinions, even though percussion instruments could be played within the 60 dB at 100 feet limitation that because of the nature of the sound it could still be heard distinctly and it could be irritating in a park environment. Commissioner Malone indicated that his experience was different. MonoN Commissioner Adams made a motion to adopt the existing temporary rule changing it to pertain to percussion instruments only and to the hours of between 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Commissioner Coppedge seconded. In discussion, Commissioner Malohe indicated that he did not believe that the days and hours needed to be restricted as long as the decibel - distance standard was in effect. He believed that keeping the sound to that level was sufficient to keep others from being disturbed by the activity. The vote was: 3 yes - 2 no (Malone, MacGra\v) B. Commissioner MacGraw - discussion on dons Commissioner MacGraw said that she had been considering a couple of locations within the park system which could possibly be open to dogs. She said that at this time, for a two month trial period, she would recommend that dogs be allowed on leashes at the Water Street park site. She also said that she had been considering allowing dogs on the Wade portion of the city's Greenway Park property. Referring to the Commission's plans to develop a park node along the Greenway which would include such amenities as a restroom and picnic tables, she suggested that the Commission might consider creating a fenced area in which dogs and their owners could play off leash. Prior to development of the area, she suggested that the department might mow an area which would provide a temporary place for dogs and their owners to play. In discussion it was determined that the mowing of an area at the Greenway site would not be taking place until after fire hazard restrictions are lifted. Commissioner Adams indicated that she would not be opposed to Commissioner MacGraw's recommendation on a trail basis which would give the Commission an idea as to how much the areas would be used and how well the concept would work. Referring to liability concerns, Commissioner Coppedge indicated that she had some concern about dogs running loose even in a fenced area. i Regular Meeting - August 30, 1994 Page 4 Ashland Parks and Recreation Commission Discussion on dogs coNnNum MOTION After some further discussion, Commissioner MacGraw made to'a motion to allow dog owners to bring their dogs to the Wade property at the Greenway park site off leash for a two month trial period beginning after the department mows an open area. Commissioner Adams seconded. The vote was: 4 yes - 1 no (Coppedge) MOTION Commissioner MacGraw made a motion to allow dogs on leash at the Water Street park , site for a two month trial period with the stipulation that dog owners clean up any droppings left by their dogs. Commissioner Adams seconded. The vote was: 5 yes - 0 no C. •Masters Swim Program Commissioner MacGraw said that she had been contacted again.by the Masters Swim Program requesting that they be allowed to continue to use the Meyer Pool for their early morning program until the SOSC pool opens for the fall. Director Mickelsen explained that in previous years the program had'received permission to use the pool in this manner paying the department at the same rate as lap swimmers. MOTION After brief discussion, Commissioner Adams made a motion to allow the Masters Swim Program to use the Meyer Pool until the SOSC pool opens for fall as in previous years. Commissioner Coppedge seconded. The vote was: 5.yes - 0 no VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Authorization to request for proposals for architectural services Director Mickelsen requested authorization to send out Requests for Proposals for architectural services for design of N. Mountain Park. In discussion it was determined that the Commission would be seeking a registered landscape architect to assist in developing an overall master plan for design of the park and recommendations for stages of development. MOUGN Commissioner Malone made a motion authorizing requesting proposals for architectural services for N. Mountain Park. Commissioner Coppedge seconded. The vote was: 5 yes - 0 no VIII. CORRESPONDENCE, COMMUNICATIONS; DIRECTOR'S REPORT None IX. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS In discussion of the development of Railroad District Park, Commissioners asked about the progress of the Historic Commission on plans for the "historic" area in the park. Director Mickelsen said staff would inquire. t' Regular Meeting —August 30, 1994 Page 5 Ashland Parks and Recreation Commission ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS comm4um With the dedication of Siskiyou Mountain Park, Commissioners briefly discussed developing priorities for management and use of the area. Further discussion was set for next month's agenda. Commissioners also discussed timing for turning off the water play facility at Garfield Park for the season. It was decided that the facility would remain on after school opens for modified hours in the afternoon and would be winterized after the weather had definitely turned for the fall. Commissioner MacGraw said that during budget planning for next summer, she would like to discuss expanding swimming hours for the Reservoir Area. X. NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA The,next Regular Meeting was scheduled for Thursday, September 29, 1994 at 7:00 p.m. at the department office. A discussion to define issues related to Siskiyou Mt. Park would be placed on the agenda. XI. ADJOURNMENT With no further business, Chair Alsing adjourned the meeting. Resppectf)ullly/%I submitted, Ann Benedict, Business Manager Ashland Parks and Recreation Department � 1 CITY OF ASHLAND PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES September 7, 1994 Chair Alsing called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. at the department office, 340 S. Pioneer Street. ATTENDANCE: Present Pat Adams, AI Alsing, Teri Coppedge, Laurie MacGraw, Bob Malone, Ken Mickelsen. Absent None L MANAGEMENT OPTIONS related to OAK KNOLL GOLF COURSE Chair Alsing called the meeting to order indicating that the focus of the meeting would be to make several decisions about management of the Oak Knoll Golf Facility after the current lease agreement expires in December 1994. He briefly reviewed the .topics which had been studied and discussed in previous study sessions and asked if any Commissioner would like to proceed with recommendations. Commissioner MacGraw spoke expressing her appreciation, and the other Commissioners' appreciation, to the members of the Resource Group who had spent many hours with the Commission studying the various approaches to managing a golf course facility. She said that she concurred with the individual recommendations of the Resource Group members and therefore had a couple of motions to present. MOTION Commissioner MacGraw read a copy of the Mission Statement and Goals for the Oak Knoll Golf Facility into the record and made a motion to adopt the same as discussed by the Commission.and Resource Group in previous study sessions. Commissioner Adams seconded. In discussion, Commissioner Malone indicated that he had a friendly amendment to the motion. He suggested that the Commission add one more goal which would be "to operate and maintain the golf course in an environmentally responsible manner." Commissioner MacGraw said that she would welcome the added goal as a friendly amendment. Commissioner Adams concurred as the second. The vote was: 5 yes - 0 no MOTION Commissioner MacGraw said that she would move to assign the maintenance responsibility for the facility to the Parks and Recreation Department which would include hiring a competent and knowledgeable Greens Superintendent. Commissioner Adams seconded. The vote.was: 5 yes - 0 no Special Meeting - September 7, 1994 Page 2 Ashland Parks and Recreation Commission Commissioner Malone stated that he believed that the Commission had learned a great deal about the operation of a golf course facility during the study sessions and that he personally had taken to heart the sentiment among Resource Group members that a Class A PGA professional should operate the Pro Shop and, rather than be an employee of the Parks and Recreation Department, should enter into a contractual agreement with the Commission which would offer certain incentives to producing a high quality golf experience. Monor, With those considerations, Commissioner Malone made a motion to have the Pro Shop portion of the operation of the Oak Knoll Golf Facility be consessioned out with the following stipulations being part of the agreement: 1) that the concessionaire must be a Class A PGA professional and that the agreement require that staffing include an assistant professional, and, 2) that compensation for the concessionaire be based on a percentage of the revenue generated from fees collected with an incentive factor established whereby the concessionaire would receive additional compensation if revenues exceed an established minimum. Commissioner Adams seconded. In discussion of the motion, Commissioner Malone indicated that at this point in time he did not want to discuss specific numbers for the rate of compensation but to have the concept approved. He said that he would request that department staff bring specific figures for consideration to the Commission at another point in time. He also said that he.would like to discuss related issues regarding the Pro Shop but did not particularly want to overburden this motion with too much detail. He said that he would like to see staff draft an agreement whereby the concessionaire could have the option of either purchasing merchandise for the Pro Shop or having the department purchase merchandise for the Pro Shop with the percentage received for sales dependent on the option chosen. He also said that he would like for the Pro Shop agreement to reflect an option allowing the concessionaire to choose whether or not to operate the restaurant portion of the facility, but because the Pro Shop concessionaire may not choose to take that option, the agreement to operate the restaurant needed to be a separate agreement not intertwined with the Pro Shop agreement. In some discussion of the operation of the restaurant, it was clarified that the agreement to operate the restaurant would be separate from the Pro Shop agreement but that the concessionaire would essentially have first refusal for entering into that agreement. If the Pro Shop concessionaire did not choose to enter into an agreement to operate the restaurant, the Commission would then contract with a separate party. Commissioner Alsing commented on the length of the contract indicating that he believed setting its length would be very important -- if it was for too long a period of time, it might lock the Commission into an agreement which it might need some fine tuning after Special Meeting - September 7, 1994 Page 3 Ashland Parks and Recreation Commission being in effect for a while, or, if it were for too short a period of time, might not be sufficiently attractive to induce someone to move to the area and invest themselves in the operation of the course. The vote was: 5 yes. - 0 no In discussion of a timeline for drafting the RFP (Request for Proposal) and the various agreements, Director Mickelsen suggested that moving promptly would allow for the RFP's to be returned to the department by the end of October and for the interview and selection process to immediately follow so that a concessionaire could be on board by January 1995. Referring to previous discussions as to the value of the Resource Group to the Commission, Commissioner Malone made the recommendation to have the Commission continue to work with a Resource Group. He said that he felt that it was extremely important for the golfing community to participate in the decision making process, and, with upcoming decisions related to establishing a capital improvements program for the facility, the Resource Group would be of assistance in setting priorities and keeping communications open with the other golfers. The other Commissioners concurred heartily. Chair Alsing asked that the current members of the group let department staff know whether or.not they would be interested in continuing to serve on the group at this time. II.

O _ � z W u DD dysb REG O� a FINANCIAL REPORT For the twelve months ended June 30, 1994 � OF ASAF, o _ � Qmar �tncE � m September 15, 1994 D: Mayor and City Council XQIIS: Jill Turner, Director of Finance ll�ljECt: Financial Report for June 30, 1994 Attached is the June 30, 1994 Financial Report for the City of Ashland. It does not include the Hospital or Parks and Recreation Commission reports, which were released to their respective boards and commissions. The Audited Financial Statement should be ready for review the first of November. Coopers and Lybrand have completed their audit field work. Unaudited balance sheets, Expenditure and Revenue reports are available for review in the Finance Office. Budgetary Compliance The first 19 pages are the Statement of Resources and Expenditures for the year ending June 30,. 1994. The statements are prepared on the budgetary basis of accounting. The expenditures are listed in the same classifications as the adopted budget, therefore showing budgetary compliance. Budgetary compliance improved with no Budget over expenditures. Trends Page 20 is a summary of the first 19 pages. Again this does not include the Hospital or Parks. This summary shows that the City collected 90.6% of budgeted resources. Resources, which include bond proceeds, increased $180,143, or less than 1% on a combined basis over the previous year. Charges for services increased 12.3%. Included in the charges for services are electric, water and sewer rate increases. Taxes increased 26.2% primarily due to the enactment of the prepared food and beverage tax. Interest earnings dropped $189,247 or 32.6%. Total expenditures for 1993-94 were $2,521,774 less than in the previous fiscal year. Personnel costs in 1993-94 increased over 7% compared to a moderated 4% increase during 1992-93. Material and services increased 5.7% while capital outlay decreased 55% due to the Northwest Pipeline Project and the purchase of Mount Ashland Ski Area in the previous fiscal year. The large debt service decrease was due to the call of the Hydo Bonds in the previous fiscal year. The unappropriated ending fund balance increased $1,387,481, reversing the drop in 1992-93. Carryover Analysis The schedule on page 21 is again prepared on the budgetary basis of accounting and does not include the Hospital and Parks and Recreation funds. The first column shows the actual unaudited carryover at June 30 ,1994. The second column is a measure of the gain or loss (net income in private business) during the entire fiscal year. It is a measurement of whether the fund is better off now than at June 30, 1993. The third column shows the gain or loss on a two year basis. The fourth column shows the gain or loss on a three year basis. Overall, the City received $1,092,012 more than it spent in 1993-94. This number adjusted for the Water Bond Project, Advance Refunding and Ski Ashland transactions, shows a gain of $1,247,036. This gain offset the decline in the previous two years. On a combined three year basis the City is better off by $705,912. General Fund The General Fund performed better than expected. On a three-year basis the General Fund balance (combined with the Police Serial Levy Fund and Emergency 911 Fund) has increased $160,715 to a total of $743,449. The present fund balance is equal to 11.8% of the 1994- 95 budget and slightly over the fund balance target of 10%. Street Fund The Street Fund carryover balance dropped $44,302 over the past three years. This trend is expected to continue as shown in the three year budget document. This is due to State gas tax revenues not keeping pace with inflation. Water Fund The Water Fund operation shows a three year gain of$77,211. The 1992-93 and 1993-94 gains more than offset the large decline in 1991-92. Water rates were increased 20% in January 1993 and 5% in March of 1994. Consumption of water rose to 1,385,299 CCF or 22.6% over the previous year which included some curtailment. This usage is still below the 1990-91 and 1991-92 fiscal years. The $3.8 million water revenue bonds received an A rating from Moodys and will be sold on the 13th of October. Sewer Fund The Sewer Fund operations show a one year gain of $68,605, which is somewhat misleading. Included as a resource is a $110,000 transfer from the Insurance Services Fund (gift) that was used after the year end to pay for odor control expenses. The Sewer Fund has broken even on a three year basis. The Sewer Fund construction account shows a large increase due to the collection of the Food and Beverage Tax. Electric Fund The Electric Fund gained $24,518 during 1993-94. Electric rates were raised in July of 1993 and 1994. On a three year basis the fund has lost $213,404. The City sold 1 % less electricity in 1993-94. The Electric cash balance shown below indicates an overall decline. Maintaining the.Electric Fund will require attention, especially with the reinvention of BPA and industry deregulation.

Unlike other cities that depend primarily on property taxes, Ashland takes pride in having both ample and diverse sources of revenue. This measure will severely limit the councils' ability to change fees as well as enact new taxes. At the same time, the electric industry is being deregulated, which will put pressure on overall electric rates including the Electrical User Tax and the Electrical Franchise Tax, which fund basic City services.

Brian Almquist, City Administrator Wram: Steven Hall, Public Works Director V p�II�jECt: Water Update - 10/4/94 ACTION REQUESTED City Council rescind Stage I water curtailment effective immediately. UPDATE This has been a summer of extremes which has made the projections for this water year extremely difficult. June started as a "normal" summer and July brought the"unusual" weather conditions and recent projections of higher than normal temperatures has not occurred. As I noted in my memorandum of 9/20/94, "If water use, Reeder Reservoir reserves and Ashland Creek remain relatively constant,I will be more than likely recommending that Stage I water curtailment be rescinded at the October 4th City Council meeting." Talent Irrigation District stopped supplying water to the City of Ashland September 25th. The supply of water for the extra days from TID was a major contributing factor to our current positive water situation. In addition, the combination of citizens and businesses responding to the plea to conserve water and the failure of high temperatures to occur as predicted by the U.S. Weather Service and the brief rainfall we have experienced has added to the positive position our water supply is in at this point in time. Our water situation on Sunday, October 2nd was: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plant Production 2.80 million gallons TID Treated 0.00 million gallons Ashland Creek 1.50 million gallons Reeder Reservoir 80.10% full Water Reserve * 120 days ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9/1/94 - 10/2/94 Average Plant Production 3.62 million gallons 9/1/92 - 10/02/92 Average Plant Production 4.03 million gallons ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Assuming a consumption rate of 4.0 million gallons per day 1 There are several factors which I am basing my recommendation to rescind Phase I Curtailment. Reeder Reservoir is now slightly above the 1992 level, water consumption for the month of September is below 1992 use and Ashland Creek has reached a consistency that indicates we have "hit the bottom" for low flow. On October 2nd, our consumption was under 3 million gallons. Assuming production at 4 million gallons per day, no rainfall, and Ashland Creek remaining at 1.5 million gallons per day, we would be out of water the first part of February. Our current average consumption from September 1st through October 2nd is 3.62 million gallons. I have talked about my "comfort level" in several previous memorandums on our water situation. I believe my recommendation is based on a conservative review of our current position and the review of our records covering the period from 1976 to the present. I recommend that the City Council rescind Stage 1 water curtailment. THANK YOU I wish to personally thank those families and businesses that played a vital role in our making it through the "Summer of 94". Each sacrifice and contribution that saved water made it possible for us to be in this position in October. cc: Dennis Barnts, Water Quality Superintendent Daryl McVey, Water Filter Plant Supervisor Keith Woodley, Fire Chief Ashland Daily Tidings Medford Mail Tribune encl: Plant Production, June 1 to October 31 Ashland Creek Flow, June 1 to October 31 Reeder Reservoir, June 1 to October 31 Reeder Reservoir, March 1 to February 28 Plant Production June 1 through October 31 7- 6-: >1 M Nv� V V .4 h IV, I 5- r.vt j z. 0 4.5- 4- 1PA J 11; Cm. 3.5-- M 3- 2-:L T=rrFm Tm Tn-nT Trrm 1 2 29, July 0 27 3 August 31 5 June � 1 Ashland Creek Flow June 1 through October 31 7 6 a 0 5 Repaired Leak In West Fork a� u) 4 o C7 3 o ' ' 2 .. 1 0 1 , 8 15 22 29 20 27 24 3 5 1�6 June July August September October 1994 °°°°°°°• 1992 Reeder Reservoir June 1 through October 31 100% TI D stopped 9/25/94 90% ` _ 80% TID began 7/14/94 70% U i N D_ 60% 50% 40% lTrM.T=.

Almquist, City Administrat r p�1IIIjEtt: Labor Contract Approvals 1. International Association of Firefighter We have finally received a signed contract from the Firefighters' Union after months of discussion involving interpretation of the arbitrator's award. As you will recall, the arbitrator awarded the union a 9%• increase retroactive to July 1, 1993 which was split 4.5% on that date and 4.5% on January 1, 1994. A number of other issues were also decided by the arbitrator,with the City prev2iling on some and the union on others. Since the language on the PERS pick up was not an issue, the contract as signed continues the pick up for the duration of the contract which expires on June 30, 1996.• • 2. Construction Laborers' Union: We have also reached agreement with the Laborers for a contract expiring June 30, 1997.That agreement likewise did not change the language on the PERS pick up. The agreement also provides for a formula for wage increases based on the CPI with a minimum of 3% and a maximum of 6%�It also provides for the conversion from Blue Cross Plan N to Plan V, which will save the City about$15,000 per year, while providing the employees with a comparable health plan. The savings still reflect the City's agreement to provide wellness benefits outside the Blue Cross contract and picking up two.dedu&bles for each family unit. RECOMMENDATION: That the Mayor and Recorder be authorized to sign the new contracts on behalf of the City. (r.Union%brCon.mem) r {..�.�LF�(-L4►4� AµY�I�L �'y{-IJ(A.l-�LL►L.L►� PE °90 1175 E. MAIN ST.

Almquist, City Administratgf ---/ p�11�jECf- Raising Minimum Rent Exempt from Motel Tax When the original HoteUMotel tax was established in 1975, the City of Ashland was operating the Ashland Mills Youth Hostel on Walker Avenue. It was the desire of the Council at that time to exempt youth lodgings for the tax and thus a minimum fee of$6.00 was established as the threshold for imposition of the tax. The ordinance also provided that the minimum be adjusted by the CPI each year, which puts the present minimum at$9.11. The Ashland Youth Hostel now charges$11.00 to members and $13.00 to non-members. Although we have not required that they pay the tax on these amounts, I believe we should amend our ordinance to raise the minimum to $15.00, if it is still the Council's desire to exempt youth lodgings in a dorm setting. Attached is an ordinance implementing the higher minimum. (r.Y.tM.m ) Attachment ORDINANCE NO.
