TELECOMMUNICATIONS FRANCHISE TO DATAVISION COMMUNICATIONS,
McCallum introduced Council
Bill 2920. Recorder Pierson read the two readings of the bill by title only since there were
no objections from the Council. On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed
unanimously. Mayor Figley declared Council Bill No. 2920 duly passed.
0:15 COUNCIL BILL NO. 2921- A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION
FOR A LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANT FROM THE OREGON PARKS AND
RECREATION DEPARTMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PICNIC
introduced Council
Bill 2921. Recorder Pierson read the bill by title only since there were no objections from
the Council. Councilor Lonergan asked if we are going to have any trouble coming up with
the 40% match and what are we looking at as far as equipment. Recreation Services
Manager Spence answered that in regards to the match they had originally budgeted for a
project with the Lutheran church and that project has been suspended indefinitely so the
fimds will now be used for the improvements to Legion Park. He then reviewed the specific
improvements to the park which include a pavilion with restrooms, walking paths, increased
turf areas under the trees, and the removal of RV style hook-ups. Councilor Cox asked
when the grant will be awarded and was told June or July with construction beginning in the
fall. On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously. Mayor Figley
declared Council Bill No. 2921 duly passed.
0:20 AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR STREET SWEEPING OPERATIONS
Cox/Lonergan.... acting as the Local Contract Review Board, award a contract for providing
street sweeping operations to Water Truck Services, Inc. of Wilsonville, Oregon for
$93,996.76 per year. Councilor Cox asked how this price and service level compared to what
we had with the previous street sweeping contract and Assistant City Engineer Liljequist
answered that they will maintain the same level of service for $28,000 less annually then the
last contract. Councilor Lonergan asked what the level of service was with the last street
sweeper and was told that they swept approximately once a month and in the downtown area
it was twice a month. Councilor Lonergan stated that he has a concern with the street
sweeping ordinance that keeps people from parking weekly on the streets when we don't
have service weekly and if people are getting cited on days when the street sweeper is not
scheduled to sweep. Motion passed unanimously.
0:29 TRANSIT VEHICLE GRANT AGREEMENT
Cox/McCallum .... authorize the City Administrator to enter into the enclosed Grant
Agreement No. 29041 with the Oregon Department of Transportation ("ODOT") for the
purchase of a "category A" heavy duty low -floor transit vehicle in the amount of $311,250 or
83% of the total project cost, whichever is less. Councilor McCallum asked Community
Services Director Row to explain why we are purchasing large buses when perhaps small
buses could be used. Director Row answered that the fixed route is surprisingly busy and
Page 2 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25, 2013
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 25, 2013
that passenger counts are beginning to rise and the bigger bus is needed. He also noted that
the bus they are purchasing has a longer service life then other models the City currently
uses. Councilor Lonergan asked if he felt this was really the best use of this money and
Director Row answered that they have the funding available without tapping into the General
Fund and he feels comfortable with this expenditure and thinks it's a good investment for the
City to make. Motion passed unanimously.
0:41 MT. ANGEL FIRE DISTRICT NETWORK SUPPORT AGREEMENT
Longergan/Cox.... authorize the City Administrator to execute an Intergovernmental
Agreement with the Mt. Angel Fire District to provide computer and network support.
Motion passed unanimously.

Public Hearing
This final public hearing is a continuance of the January 24", February 76, and February
28s', 2013 public hearings, all of which have been held to discuss sections of the
Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO) rewrite (LA 2012-01).
The purpose of the rewrite is to simplify and clarify the WDO, to include charts and
maps, to update and standardize terminology, to resolve any conflicting standards and
circular references, and to make things user-friendly.
During the process of rewriting sections of the WDO and getting it ultimately approved,
there have been many steps to follow (such as holding three open houses in January and
61
assigning a sign focus group to study the sign ordinance and propose changes to the
Planning Commission). Tonight's process is a culmination of all the steps that have been
taken.
The Planning Commission public hearing dates and discussion topics have been:
January 24, 2013 - Sections 1 and 2 Land Use Standards
February 7, 2013 - Sections 3.1 and 5 Development Guidelines and Standards
February 28, 2013 -Section 3.110 Signs (and amortization, with removal of
nonconforming signs within 10 years)
March ]4, 2013 - Any issues remaining to be discussed; possible Planning Commission
approval and recommendations for the City Council
Staff went over the Ordinance since the public hearing on Feb. 28Th, rectified
inconsistencies and made further grammatical changes where needed. Economic and
Development Services Director Jim Hendryx noted that overall, the WDO is dramatically
shorter. Some sections have been renamed to better reflect the content, and language has
been clarified, but the content itself has not been changed. Over the past 3 '/z years, the
Planning Commission has given various WDO recommendations for change and the
revised WDO reflects those suggestions. A clean copy of the WDO was passed out at
tonight's meeting.
Tonight is the last of the four scheduled Planning Commission public hearings, and after
discussion and final recommendations from the Commission, the WDO rewrite will go
before the City Council on May 13th. Director Hendryx told the Commission that any
further suggested modifications can be included in their recommendations to City
Council. The Council will decide at that time as to whether further meetings are needed.
Commissioner Piper made a motion that the public hearing portions of the meeting be
closed, since no audience was in attendance. Commissioner Corning seconded the
motion, and the Commission voted unanimously to close the public part of the meeting.
The Commissioners began discussion portions of the sign ordinance in Section 3.110.
Chair Lima brought up the possibility of requiring that signs be professionally made. At
present, they are only required to be "all-weather". Requiring that signs be professionally
made might be a good way to achieve good aesthetics in signage. Commissioner Carney
pointed out that, on the other hand, a regulation stipulating that a sign must be
professionally made can act as a challenge to get around the rule. He encouraged
Commission discussion about ways of being careful to phrase WDO sign language in a
very specific manner, for example, listing "hand -painted signs" as not being allowed,
which would be more all-encompassing and making it less likely to be able to skirt
around the rule.

Commissioner Piper asked for suggestions on how to truly capture the intent of what the
WDO is attempting to say when writing sign regulations. Various thoughts were
considered, such as further clarifying language and giving specific examples of signs that
would not be allowed.
Commissioner Carney noted that when a sign is hand -painted on the wall of a business, it
stays, even when the business owner no longer uses that building. One factor that should
be considered is not only the quality and placement of the sign, but also the sign's
potential for perpetual display.
Director Hendryx summed up the discussion so far by noting the Commission's interest
in addressing various signage issues, as well as desiring to make some recommendations
regarding hand -painted signs.
A. Assistant City Attorney Jon Stuart directed the Commission's attention to Section
3.110.06, page 7 General Requirements, subheading D, which states, "Each sign
should be designed to be consistent with the architectural style of the main building
or buildings on the site. Signs should be designed to incorporate at least one of the
predominately visual elements of the building, such as type of construction, materials
or color. The use of fluorescent colors or highly reflective materials should be
discouraged." He said that this is an example of trying to establish aesthetic
guidelines, without being rigid about it, since it's hard to consistently enforce signs
that are not allowed. There are some sentences in the WDO that state "shall be", and
those indicate rules that must be adhered to. The WDO sentence, "The use of
fluorescent colors or highly reflective materials should be discouraged", uses the
word "should" and is designed to encourage people towards the good sign aesthetics
the Commission was discussing at this meeting.
Commissioner Piper observed that by the time a person goes to the time, expense and
dealing with the structural requirements of building a sign, it's doubtful that the sign
would be amateurishly hand -painted. He also brought up the regulation stating that signs
must be "all-weather", asking if unpainted plywood would be permitted. What is the
life -span of an "all-weather" sign? He suggested that wood be put onto a list of non -
acceptable materials.
Director Hendryx said that a sign permit is needed for all signage, including wall signs.
Staff has control over time, place and matter, but not content. The life -span of signage
has not been determined. If someone hand -paints a sign onto the side of a building, it
could become an enforcement issue to have it removed. He said that staff can put more
qualifiers into the code, with a listing of what sort of materials can be used, such as
treated plywood, rather than just the general term "plywood". Staff will tighten up the
language and return to the next meeting for further input. Additionally, staff will
investigate signs around town and see whether the codes are being enforced.
Assistant City Attorney Stuart said that the WDO needs to give clear enough direction
that the average person can understand it. If terms are made too ambiguous, people will
not know what sign will be approved. The goal is to define with enough specificity that
people can understand what they can and can't do.
Commissioner Carney stated that the Commission wants discourage people going out and
painting signs by hand on the side of their building.
Assistant City Attorney Stuart suggested that one way to encourage better wall signs
would be to require that certain materials be used, like wood or metal frames. This may
discourage simple hand -painted signs. He said that murals are included under signs in
the WDO. Under Oregon law, content cannot be regulated.
Chair Lima likes the idea of restricting what materials can be used for making signs.
Commissioner Corning suggested checking what other cities have done to regulate their
signage.
It was agreed to make the suggested changes to the sign code, restricting the materials
used. The Commission voted to continue the discussion on March 28th.

SUBJECT: Ordinance Review/Revision Project
Repeal of Ordinance 1582 (Prescribing Evidentiary Hearing
Procedures)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the ordinance repealing Ordinance 1582 (Prescribing Evidentiary Hearing
Procedures).
BACKGROUND:
This matter is brought before you by the City Attorney and City Administrator as
part of the Ordinance Review/Revision Project, which was initiated by the City
Council. As part of this ongoing effort, each general ordinance of the City is being
legally and administratively evaluated. Based on this evaluation, a
recommendation is then made to the City Council.
Before the Oregon Legislature passed laws requiring all planning commissions and
city councils to follow state -prescribed evidentiary procedures for all site specific
land use hearings, it was common for local governments to adopt their own local
ordinances to provide for these procedures. Historically, Ordinance 1582
(attached) was adopted to assist the Planning Commission and City Council with
quasi judicial land use hearings.
DISCUSSION:
Because of the existence of the extensive evidentiary procedures now legally
required by the state, Ordinance 1582 is no longer legally necessary.

None.

Repeal of Ordinance 1816 (Creating a Cable Television Advisory Board)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the ordinance repealing Ordinance 1816 (Creating a Cable Television
Advisory Board).
BACKGROUND:
This matter is brought before you by the City Attorney and City Administrator as part
of the Ordinance Review/Revision Project, which was initiated by the City Council.
As part of this ongoing effort, each general ordinance of the City is being legally and
administratively evaluated. Based on this evaluation, a recommendation is then
made to the City Council.
Ordinance 1816 (Creating a Cable Television Advisory Board) was adopted after the
United States Congress passed significant federal legislation regulating cable
television. Woodburn and a number of other municipalities, created citizen advisory
boards to assist local jurisdictions with their role in cable franchising. Historically, the
Cable Television Advisory Board was met and was active for a few years. However,
as technology progressed and federal law changed, the Board became inactive
and its members were not reappointed.
DISCUSSION:
The Cable Television Advisory Board is not presently needed by the City. If a need
arises in the future, this board could be reestablished

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Scott Derickson, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Opposition to Coal Trains through Woodburn
RECOMMENDATION:
Deliberate on the proposed resolution joining other Oregon communities in
opposing the rail transportation of coal exports. Although the future proposed
coal transportation project is uncertain, there could still be Council interest in
outlining the City's position on this matter.
BACKGROUND
In October 2011, the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay signed an exclusive
negotiation agreement with an anonymous company interested in building a
new terminal and shipping 6 to 10 million tons of coal per year to Asia. The Port
of Coos Bay has indicated that as many as four coal trains a day, two of which
are full, would pass through Woodburn. Each train would require four
locomotives to haul approximately 14,750 tons of coal traveling at least 45 mph
through Woodburn. This would exponentially cause health risks in the Woodburn
area to rise due to coal dust being widely dispersed.
DISCUSSION:
Having coal trains travel through Woodburn could potentially put local citizens -
particularly in the downtown area and elsewhere along the rail route - at risk for
increased asthma, bronchitis and emphysema outbreaks, as well as the
likelihood of significant negative impacts on local residents' water quality and
property values along the railroad tracks. In addition to the health risks,
emergency personnel will be severely impacted. With the additional trains, local
streets will be blocked at least 10 minutes more per day, which potentially slows
response times for police, fire and ambulance services. Also, once Union Pacific
upgrades its Portland to Eugene line, train speeds will increase — both
passenger and cargo.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Property values along railroad tracks already suffer a diminished value, and
allowing coal trains through Woodburn would further decrease the value. Even
slight decreases in property values may significantly erode property tax
revenues used to support City services. The additional health risks will have a
negative financial impact on Woodburn residents, too.

COUNCIL BILL NO. 2925
RESOLUTION NO. 2028
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE TRANSPORTATION OF COAL FOR EXPORT THROUGH
THE CITY OF WOODBURN
WHEREAS, in October 2011, the international Port of Coos Bay signed an
exclusive negotiating agreement with an anonymous company interested in
building a new terminal and shipping 6 to 10 million tons of coal per year to Asia.
The coal would be strip-mined on public lands in the Powder River Basin (PRB) of
Wyoming and Montana; and
WHEREAS, the Port of Coos Bay has indicated that as many as four coal
trains a day — two full and two empty — would pass through Woodburn. Each
train would have four locomotives hauling approximately 14,750 tons of coal.
Trains are allowed to travel up to 45 mph through Woodburn and the coal dust
would be widely disbursed beyond the tracks. Coal dust particles vary in size
but some are smaller than a single human red blood cell, and can penetrate
the nose, upper respiratory system and travel deep into the lungs and lead to
irreversible lung disease. More than 45,000 residents in Marion County already
suffer from asthma, bronchitis and emphysema; and
WHEREAS, according to the Environmental Protection Agency and
research in other communities, there is a likelihood of significant negative
impacts on local residents' health, economy and water quality. Property values
along railroad tracks already suffer a diminished value, and this would further
decrease the value. Even slight decreases in property values may significantly
erode property fax revenues used to support City services; and
WHEREAS, even though coal dust can be reduced by 85 percent with the
application of a "surfactant" applied at the mine, this still leaves up to 4.5 to 66
tons of potential "fugitive coal dust" that would be emitted along forests, farms,
rivers and urbanized areas in the Woodburn region. Coal dust contains toxic -
heavy metals, including mercury, arsenic and lead, all known to have serious
adverse health impacts on people of all ages, particularly children. These heavy
metals, as well as emissions from the diesel -powered engines, are linked to
increases in cancer, bronchitis, emphysema, black lung disease and birth
defects ; and
Page 1 - Council Bill No. 2925
Resolution No. 2028
24
WHEREAS, mercury and other toxic air pollutants produced from burning
coal in Asian nations have been shown to adversely impact the Northwest's air,
water, fish and wildlife; and
WHEREAS, each coal train would block local streets for at least 10 minutes
or more per day, which potentially would slow response times for police, fire and
ambulance services. In addition, once Union Pacific upgrades its Portland to
Eugene line, train speeds will increase. Coal trains will be held to a speed limit of
around 55 mph, which will increase the opportunity for more train -related
accidents; and
WHEREAS, shipping coal has lasting effects on Oregon because it
encourages China to continue to rely on inefficient coal-fired plants that send
pollutants to Oregon. It also undermines the U.S. manufacturing sector. Exporting
coal will cause the loss of Oregon jobs; and
WHEREAS, derailment is more likely in coal trains than in other trains.
Because many homes and businesses in the Woodburn area are in such close
proximity to the rail alignment, a coal train derailment could result in significant
property damage to residents or business owners in the area; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY OF WOODBURN RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council finds that allowing coal trains to pass through
Woodburn is not compatible with the City's efforts to improve air qualify,
enhance public health and promote local food production.
Section 2. The City Council finds that allowing trains or barges to pass
through the state of Oregon transporting coal in the volume and of the type
planned is not compatible with the environmental future desired by our City
residents.
Section 3. The City Council finds that all applicable federal, state and
local laws protecting public health, safety and air and water quality should be
enforced to protect citizens from the adverse effects of coal trains and barges.
Section 4. The City Council fully supports Governor John Kitzhober's
request that a federal agency prepare a programmatic and comprehensive
environmental impact statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy
Act to look at the unprecedented number of coal export proposals pending in
the Pacific Northwest, as well as the potential effects in this country of the use of
Page 2 - Council Bill No. 2925
Resolution No. 2028
25
coal in Asia. Now is the time for conducting a programmatic EIS, before
substantial and irreversible commitments of resources are made.
Section 5. The City Council joins the call for review of a comprehensive
independent Health Impact Assessment before any permits are approved for
any proposed coal export project.
Section 6. The City Council directs that a copy of this resolution shall be
sent to Governor Kitzhaber, Senators Wyden and Merkley, Congressman
Schrader, Secretary of the Interior Salazar, Secretary of the Army McHugh,
General Temple of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and all local state
legislators.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council through City Administrator
FROM: Robyn Stowers, Community Relations Officer
SUBJECT: Woodburn Downtown Association Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Administrator to enter into the
attached agreement with the Woodburn Downtown Association.
BACKGROUND:
The Woodburn Downtown Association has been involved in planning events and
festivals in downtown Woodburn since its formation in 1982. The organization's
mission is "To promote the historic and cultural diverse heritage of our community by
providing opportunities that will encourage community -wide investment in
downtown Woodburn. To encourage ownership of downtown through community
participation in creating a beautiful, safe and economically successful City of
Woodburn."
In 2012, after a brief hiatus, downtown business owners resurrected the WDA as a
means to stimulate economic activity downtown by planning events and supporting
downtown merchants. The organization subsequently entered into an agreement
with the City that assigned them the role of lead organizer of downtown events.
During the first year of the WDA reformation, the organization successfully planned
three large downtown events; Mother's Day, Downtown Festival and Mexican
Independence Day. The City and WDA collaboration resulted in the reduction of City
staff hours used to plan events and ultimately added to the overall quality of the
events by increasing community support, partnerships, ownership of downtown
business, quality of entertainment, and the reduction of noise complaints.
With the large number of nearby residential dwellings, sound complaints are an
inevitable side effect of holding community events in the downtown core. While the
sound impact to downtown residents has always been a concern with large events
at the plaza, the WDA has taken precautions to limit the noise impact to the
downtown neighborhood. The organization monitors noise at events, and in the
Agenda Item Review: City Administrator _x_ City Attorney _x_ Finance _x_

Honorable Mayor and City Council

Page 2
infrequent instances where a complaint is received, has been responsive in reducing
volumes to below the allowable level.
In an effort to further reduce the noise impact to surrounding neighborhoods the
WDA is planning to hold their largest event, Mexican Independence Day, at
Centennial Park this year. Featuring two days of traditional entertainment and
activities, Mexican Independence Day has been celebrated in Woodburn for more
than a decade. The increased amount of activity downtown has a greater impact
on downtown residents than smaller, generally one -day community events, and
Centennial Park is believed to be a more appropriate site for this event, since it is
located much further from residential neighborhoods.
The attached agreement with the Woodburn Downtown Association will formalize
the continuation of this partnership. The major tenants of the agreement include:
o The City will provide suitable locations for events organized by WDA.
o The City will waive any Special Event Park Use permit fees.
o The City will determine opening and closing times for events and the time
period when music is allowed.
o The City will issue a Special Events Permit upon receiving a complete and
acceptable application from WDA.
o The City will provide limited logistical support and oversight during the events
planning phase, set-up, and operations.
o The City will provide on-call maintenance support for City owned property and
equipment for the duration of events.
o The WDA will develop an annual events budget and a calendar of events
specifically identifying, but not limited to, activities needed to plan for and
execute the scheduled events.
o The WDA will provide a written re -cap of the events program within 60 days
following the last scheduled event covered by this agreement.
o The WDA's planning process will be open to all WDA members and include
input from any interested community members.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Since this is essentially an extension of the existing agreement, there will be no direct
financial impact to the City associated with this item.
