0326 PRESENTATION: WETLANDS ENHANCEMENT PROJECT.
Park & Recreation Director Westrick stated that Luckey Company is proposing a
Wetlands Enhancement project at Hermanson Project III. The developers have been
working with the Park Board and the affected neighborhood to develop the city property
in a partnership approach. The purpose of this presentation is to bring this idea before the
Council to solicit their views on the proposed project.
Paul Sedoruk, representing Luckey Company (developer of Bridlewood Estates), stated
that the developer was required by the Division of State Lands to find a site as close to
their development as possible to enhance the wetland within that same drainage corridor.
Since the City owned most of the land along that drainage corridor, Luckey Company met
with City staff, Park Board, and the neighborhood association to address concerns on this
issue. He stated that they would like to receive input from the Council as to whether or
not they are interested in a joint opportunity with the developer to mitigate wetlands and
enhance the parks. Additionally, this project may work into the City's storm water
management plan. The specific site is located on Mill Creek between Wilson St. and
Hermanson Pond. The area is an open meadow with a channelized stream and the
enhancements would include modifications to the grade to recreate a natural stream
condition, making twists and turns with waterfalls or drops, improving flood control, and
plant trees and shrubs conducive to improving the diverse habitat.
Mayor Jennings expressed his opinion that this type of project is a win-win situation for
the Parks & Recreation department plus it will beautify the City. The pond would not be
disturbed with the project and he is in support of moving forward with this project.
Councilor Figley stated that she had already heard this presentation at the Park Board
level and feels that it will be an attractive project which will enhance an underused city
park. Even though the area has suffered through neglect, it does have wildlife habitat
and, with enhancements, it will be more attractive and conducive to the wildlife.
Councilor Bjelland stated that parks include natural areas being preserved and he feels
that the City has a need for that type of area in our community. It would be a location in
which citizens could observe nature and it would be relatively low maintenance.

Councilor Nichols questioned if this area could be used as a workshop area for students in
looking at the vegetation and wildlife.
Mr. Sedoruk stated that the area could be utilized by the schools as a workshop area since
there will be a diversity in habitat.
Councilor Kilmurray expressed her opinion that the project looks attractive and feels that
the schools would be willing to take students out to the area.
Councilors Sifuentez and Chadwick also expressed their support for this project.
Mr. Sedoruk stated that Luckey Company will be paying for all of the mitigation
requirements and the Park Department will pay for other future enhancements such as a
walkway and/or a bridge. He reiterated that there will be a lot of enhancements such as
the landscaping, re-channelization, and diverse habitat that will be paid for by Luckey
Company.
FIGLEYIBJELLAND... Council go on record being supportive of this proposal and
would like to encourage both the Park and Recreation Board, Director, and City
Administrator to pursue this project. The motion passed unanimously.
1080 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REPORT.
Don Judson, Chamber President, stated that the first item being addressed by the
Chamber Board this year is finding a new Director to replace Jane Kanz who was the
Executive Director of the Chamber for the past 13 years. Chamber Board member, John
Brown, has developed a new job description and a brochure to send to applicants. The
advertisement will be going out this week and it is hoped that a new Director will be on
staff by March. He requested that the Council and public be patient with the Chamber as
they proceed with this transition. Upcoming Chamber events are as follows:
1) Business After Hours - Thursday, January 11th, 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm, at Curt's Car Star
on Hwy. 99E; January 25th, 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm at Woodburn Crossing; and February

2) Chamber Forum - Wednesday, January 17th, 12:00 noon, Woodburn Medical Center,
with guest speaker being John Brown regarding downtown development; and on February
2pt at the Woodburn Crossing, guest speaker will be Mayor Jennings to talk about the
"State of the City".
3) On February 22nd, the Distinguished Citizen banquet will be held rather than a dessert
social. He stated that the Board has decided to go back to a banquet where attendees get
dressed up and do nice things to honor winners of these awards. The location will be
discussed at the next Board meeting.
4) The annual Chamber dinner was held last Thursday and over 100 people attended. In
the prior year, only 45 people attended the dinner.
He reiterated his thanks to Administrator Brown for his work in this recruitment process.

1422 PUBLIC HEARING: VACATION OF A PORTION OF OSWALD STREET.
Mayor Jennings declared the public hearing open at 7:27 p.m..
Public Works Director Tiwari stated that a petition had been received from Chemeketa
Community College for the vacation of public right-of-way on Oswald Street located
between the Railroad and Doud Street. He reviewed the vacation process which includes
the petition by the abutting property owner, staff review of the proposed vacation, and a
public hearing on the issue. Following this hearing, if the Council decides to allow for
the vacation of the right-of-way, staff would draft an ordinance for Council consideration.
He stated that the proposed vacation of the street involves a ISO' x 50' parcel of land
which would allow Chemeketa to have sufficient land to expand their facility.
He outlined the affected area (400' radius from termini in semi-circle and 200' parallel
from the roadway) in which property owners were notified by mail of this hearing. Prior
to this hearing, 85% of the property owners within the affected area have consented to the
proposed vacation. Of the remaining 15%, staff has not received any written objections
or comments from the property owners.
He reviewed the following staff recommendations:
1) existing sanitary sewer main within the area to be vacated shall be rehabilitated for
infiltration removal for continued use as a private line or it shall be abandoned;
2) existing storm sewer inlets be relocated in the modified right-of-way to provide for
proper drainage;
3) agreements and/or easements shall be provided to all franchised utilities service
arrangements and petitioner would be responsible for relocation of any utility in the
vacated right-of-way which may require relocation; and
4) traffic turn around facility acceptable to Public Works Department shall be provided at
the end of Oswald Street. It was noted that the turn around facility will be temporary alI-

weather construction so that vehicles can turn around in this area rather than in the
driveways of property owners who have their residences on Oswald Street.
Jerry Vellesco, Facilities Director for Chemeketa, stated that the Oswald Street vacation
application will allow for sufficient parking spaces to meet code requirements for this
phase of their expansion project. Additionally, Chemeketa would like to do a second
phase on this building which would involve siting the building over Oswald Street and, at
that time, there are other utilities on Oswald Street that they would vacate by the
agreement of this staff report. He expressed his appreciation to City staff for their
assistance in working through this vacation process.
Jerry Watson, Chemeketa Board member, encouraged the Council to help the local
citizens in this area by allowing Chemeketa to build a larger campus thereby increasing
the number of courses offered to citizens in the surrounding area. He stated that a portion
of the facility proposed to be built will be used by other public service agencies under a
one-stop service concept to help meet a variety of needs for the local citizens.
Additionally, he expressed his opinion that the facility will enhance the downtown area
and should contribute to further re-development of the older downtown core.
JoAnn Beilke, Chairman of the Board of Chemeketa, stated that Chemeketa had passed a
$3.5 million bond issue in 1996 and a portion of the bond funds have been spent at the
main campus and Dallas campus. However, funds were also set aside to improve the
Woodburn campus. The building design was focused on blending into, yet enhancing,
the structures currently located in the downtown area. She also expressed her opinion
that their project is an excellent one for some Urban Renewal to go into that area and
feels that they will be a conerstone to show what can be done to enhance the downtown
area.
Harvey Franklin, Director of Chemeketa, Woodburn campus, stated that they have
received a lot of help from the community, local businesses, and surrounding property
owners to get as far as they have as of this date. To complete Phase I of the project, a
portion of Oswald Street will need to be vacated. He stated that the community will see a
definite enhancement of the area and the architects have done a fantastic job with the
design of the building. Once the project is underway, it is anticipated that it will take one
year to complete.
Councilor Figley stated that she is an owner of a piece of property located within the
affected area but west of the railroad tracks and, as a result of this vacation and/or
proposed development, will not realize any financial benefit or determent. She expressed
her support of the street vacation.
No additional testimony was received either in favor of or against the street vacation
proposal.
Mayor Jennings declared the public hearing closed at 7:50 p.m..

memo. The motion passed unanimously.
3156 COUNCIL BILL 2282 - ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 2273 TO
REMOVE AN ASSESSMENT FROM A NON-BENEFITTED PROPERTY
WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN ALLEY LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
Councilor Figley declared a conflict of interest since she is a property owner affected by
this proposed bill, therefore, she will abstain from taking part in any discussion and
voting on this bill.
Councilor Chadwick introduced Council Bill 2282. Recorder Tennant read the two
readings of the bill by title only since there were no objections from the Council.
Mayor Jennings reminded the Council of the Charter provision which requires unanimous
vote of the Council in order to pass an ordinance on the first night it is introduced and
read. Since the final vote will include an abstention, he questioned the City Attorney as
to whether or not the final vote would be considered as a unanimous vote of all Council
members present.
City Attorney Shields stated that, in his opinion and based on prior case law, the
abstention would not affect the passage of the bill at this meeting provided that all of the
remaining Councilors voted in favor of the Council bill.
The Mayor stated that the City will be paying for the amount of the assessment which is
being removed from the assessment role.
On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed by a vote of 5-0-1 with Councilor Figley
abstaining. Mayor Jennings declared Council Bill 2282 duly passed with the emergency
clause.
3562 COUNCIL BILL 2283 - RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A CLAIMS
PROCESSING FEE FOR BALLOT MEASURE 7 PURSUANT TO ORDINANCE
NO. 2276.
Council Bill 2283 was introduced by Councilor Chadwick. The bill was read by title only
since there were no objections from the Council.
Councilor Bjelland questioned if the estimated appraisal cost of $1,640 would be
sufficient to cover an appraisal if a claim is made under Ballot Measure 7. His concern is
that if a bare land appraisal was over $2,000, then a claim under Ballot Measure 7 could
conceivably be greater than the bare land appraisal.
Finance Director Gillespie agreed that the appraisal fee is unknown at this time, however,
the ordinance adopted at the last meeting does allow the City Administrator to assess an
additional amount if the costs are in excess of the filing fee.
City Attorney Shields also stated that Section 2 in the Resolution before the Council gives
the City Administrator the ability to collect a higher fee.
Page 6 - Council Meeting Minutes, January 8, 2001

Councilor Bjelland also questioned if the language in the ordinance and resolution would
allow for collection of additional fees to cover costs incurred that are in excess of the
initial filing fee since actual costs may not be known until such time as the work is
completed.
Administrator Brown also stated that it is staff's intent to collect the $3,000 fee up front
and if costs are higher than the initial fee collected, then the claim will be held up until
such time as the additional fees are paid. A provisional acceptance of the claim will be
made upon receipt of the $3,000 filing fee.
Councilor Bjelland expressed his concern in the timing of events since the language states
that the additional fees will be paid prior to the acceptance of the filing and he does not
want to have a timing problem involved with the payment of fees.
City Attorney stated that the intent of the language to allow for a higher filing fee is to
protect the City from incurring costs in excess of the filing fee. Even though there is a 90
day period to process and evaluate a claim, the claim will not be considered as filed until
all filing fees are paid.
On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously. Mayor Jennings declared
Council Bill 2283 duly passed.
4346 ACCEPTANCE OF REAL PROPERTY. VISUAL CLEARANCE EASEMENT.
AND $27.490.77 FROM HOPE LUTHERAN CHURCH (RE: Parr Road Local

Settlemier A venue plus the acceptance of a visual clearance easement at the intersection
of Parr Rd. and Settlemier from Hope Lutheran Church as fulfillment of a prior agreed
commitment between the Church and the City. By accepting the property, the Church
will be assessed $27,490.77 in the Parr Road assessment.
FIGLEY/SIFUENTEZ... accept the deeded strip of land, easement for visual clearance,
and the Parr Road improvement assessment balance of $27,490.77 from Hope Lutheran
Church. The motion passed unanimously.
4404 ACCEPTANCE OF REAL PROPERTY AND $9.802.23 FROM HAZEL M.
SMITH (RE: Parr Road Local Improvement District Project).
Staff recommended the acceptance of a warranty deed and $9,802.23 from Hazel M.
Smith in fulfillment of a previously agreed upon commitment between Ms. Smith and the
City. With this transaction, the City agrees that no assessments would be levied against
her property abutting Parr Road for costs associated with the recently completed Parr
Road improvement project. It was also noted that her property is located outside of the
city limits on the north side of Parr Road.
FIGLEY/SIFUENTEZ... accept the deeded strip of land parallel to Parr Road along with
$9,802.23 from Hazel Smith. The motion passed unanimously.

4860 CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT.
A) Administrator Brown informed the Council that the City now owns the building
located at 347 N. Front Street (also known as the Salud Building). Nicoli Engineering is
about ready to put together 2 sets of designs one of which will be for a one-story building
and the other is for a two-story building. Those two designs will allow the City to go out
to bid for construction for either of those options depending the cost associated with each
bid.
B) At a prior meeting, the downtown visioning design component of the Spencer &
Kupper contract was removed (approximately $8,700.00) and this portion of the Urban
Renewal study would be contracted directly with Lloyd Lindley. He stated that he had
recently executed a contract with Mr. Lindley in an amount not to exceed $14,335. The
City will be receiving a $2,000 grant from the State to help offset costs associated with
the visioning design component of the project. The first of the downtown visioning
design workshops will be held at the Community Center on February 6th from 4:30 pm to
6:30 pm and from 6:45 pm to 8:45 pm. The intent is to go through the program twice in
order to give interested citizens an opportunity to attend one of the two sessions. Another
consultant (Metropolatin Group) will soon launch the community wide outreach project
which will be fully funded through a state grant.
5221 MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS.
Councilor Bjelland stated that he had attended the Mid Willamette Valley Area
Commission on Transportation last week and, as part of the meeting, a report was given
Page 9 - Council Meeting Minutes, January 8,2001
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 8, 2001
TAPE
READING
by John Russell, ODOT representative, on future activities and expectations of the
Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) and a presentation of the draft Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). According to Mr. Russell, ODOT funding
sources are limited and they do not anticipate the legislature going forth with a gas tax
proposal. The OTC has established the following funding priorities: (1) bridge
maintenance and preservation, (2) pavement preservation, (3) safety related issues, (4)
modernization, and (5) new projects. He stated that each region also submits their top
projects for funding which makes it very difficult for large projects to get funded since
there can only be 1 or 2 potentially large projects funded each year and the OTC has been
reluctant to allocate those amongst the different regions. Therefore, the regions have
been submitting smaller projects for funding. Within the draft 2000-2005 STIP for the
Mid- Willamette Valley projects, included under the modernization listing, was the 1-
5/Hwy 214 interchange project which will provide for construction of a right-turn lane on
Highway 214 and on-ramp improvements. Estimated costs are as follows: $300,000 pre-
engineering, $900,000 right-of-way acquisition, and $3 million for construction.
Hopefully, this project will move from the draft to the final STIP list.
Mayor Jennings stated that he, along with Administrator Brown, had met with Don
Jordan from ODOT and this was one of the topics of discussion in their meeting. It
appears that this proposed improvement will remain on the STIP list.
Councilor Bjelland also stated that he is a member of the multi-region Grant Committee,
sub-committee of the Mid- Willamette Valley Community Development Partnership,
which awarded a multi-region grant for a scenic loop brochure driving guide for
Willamette Valley visitors. Several other areas of interest included (1) industrial
recruitment marketing activities to bring industries into the area, (2) micro-loan fund
matching which leverages federal dollars for small businesses, minority businesses, and
for businesses that may not normally qualify for commercial financing, (3) information
technology courses, and (4) monitor the development of state-wide telecommunications
program to protect local concerns.
