The motion passed unanimously. 0016 Bill Kloos, Attorney representing Mar-Dene Corp. (owner of Wendy's), stated his objection to the executive session without knowing what the content of information was to be discussed. From their point of view, there is no statutory basis for having an executive session in respect to the Wendy's land use issue. If the scope of the discussion within executive session is limited to the current Circuit Court proceeding relating to Wendy's. then the executive session is okay but if the scope of executive session discussion pertains to the current land use issue then those discussions are not allowed under state law. He also stated that there are provisions within the law that pertain to a complaint procedure. His client decided to not to pursue any complaint process when the Planning Commission held their executive sessions, however, he will be consulting with his client to determine if they will proceed with a complaint. He reiterated his need to make this objection since he was unable to get clarification from the City's Attorney as to the scope of the discussion.

Mayor Kirksey declared the public hearing open at 7:32 p.m.. Attorney Shields explained the legal procedure for this hearing which includes 1) opening the hearing, 2) declaring ex-parte contacts, 3) staff report which includes ORS statement, 4) testimony by Holiday Inn Express, 5) testimony of Mar-Dene Corp., 6) any other public testimony, 7) any consideration of requests to continue or have the record remain open, and 8) close the public hearing and deliberate towards directing staff to present at a future date an ordinance with fmdings and conclusions. He reminded the Council that this was a de novo hearing and all records introduced will be marked as exhibits. Mayor Kirksey asked the Councilors if they had any ex-parte contacts or if anyone needed to declare a conflict of interest. No one declared a conflict of interest or ex- parte contact. Recorder Tennant read the land use statement as required under ORS Chapter 197. 0500 Community Development Director Goeckritz entered the following into the record: Exhibit #1 - Area Map; Exhibit #2 - Oregon Department of Transportation letter dated November 5, 1991; Exhibit #3 - Access Condition; and Exhibit #4 - Access and Road Improvement Diagram. Director Goeckritz proceeded to review the staff report and provide background information on the Holiday Inn Express development which was initially brought to the City in 1991. During ODOT's review of the proposed development, a letter from ODOT was received by the City regarding the traffic flow onto Highway 214 and ODOT commented on future need of a median unless changes were made After several meetings with ODOT representatives, it was agreed that closure of 1 of the 2 accesses at J's restaurant (now Patterson's), closure of the access point onto Highway 214 at Wendy's, and making a one-way access into Holiday Inn Express/Denny'slWendy's would be acceptable to the State therefore not requiring the installation of a median on Highway 214. As of this date, changes to the access points have taken place except for Page 3 - Council Meeting Minutes, October 14, 1996 'R' 3A COUNCIL MEETING MINUfES October 14, 1996 TAPE READING Wendy's who continues to use the east access point onto Highway 214. It was noted that one of the conditions in the Phtnning Commission final order requires the elimination of the driveway access closest to Fairway Plaza with an alternative access accommodated off the Evergreen Road extension which was paid for by Holiday Inn Express in cooperation with Fairway Plaza. As of this date, there is not a median down the middle of Highway 214 however, it is still the prerogative of ODOT to install the median if conditions are not met. However, he stated that he had discussed this issue with ODOT prior to the issuance of the building permit and ODOT not no objections to the issuance of building permit regarding the access condition. The remaining issue in the site plan is the closure of the direct access into Wendy's off of Highway 214 and the new opening onto the private roadway north of Wendy's. Director Goeckritz stated that, within the staff report, the City is looking for voluntary compliance with this one condition of approval imposed by the Planning Commission. 0945 Attorney Shields stated that Staff Exhibit #6 of the Planning Commission record, which has also been entered into this record and certified as part of the Council record, summarized the legal opinion (Memorandum Opinion #96-01) which had been requested by the Planning Commission. Within the opinion, he referred to Section 5 which addresses the following issue remaining on this site plan approval: If the Planning Commission requires Holiday Inn Express to provide a northern driveway for Wendy's (Mar-Dene) onto the Evergreen Road extension, without compensation, this would subject the City to civil liability for an unconstitutional taking of property of Holiday Inn Express property. He stated that, in his opinion, the City is in a position that, if they were to force Holiday Inn to give up there northern access driveway without being paid any compensation by Wendy's, it would subject the city to civil liability. 1117 Don McClain, Attorney representing the owner of Holiday Inn Express (Mr. Jensen), placed into the record a packet of various letters and documents consisting of 21 pages (known as Holiday Inn Express Exhibit 1). He reviewed the action taken by the Jensen's to try and secure a voluntary agreement with Mar-Dene Corp. (Wendy's) but no agreement could be reached which would be fair to all of the parties involved who had already agreed on payment issue. He stated that the owner of J's Restaurant (now Patterson's), along with other benefitted property owners, had voluntarily agreed to pay 1/8th of the cost (approx. $27,000) which is the same amount being asked from Mar- Dene Corp.. Mar-Dene Corp. had only agreed to pay a maximum of $15,000 plus they wanted the project to include a sidewalk which had not been on the proposed plans. Fairway Plaza and Holiday Inn Express each paid a pro-rated share of cost for the extension of Evergreen St and the installation of the traffic signal. As of this date, no curb cut has been made on the private access to the north of Wendy's which is owned by Holiday Inn Express since they have not been willing to pay their share of the costs which had been determined as reasonable costs by all other property owners in the benefitted area. Page 4 - Council Meeting Minutes, October 14, 1996 1r 3A COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 14, 1996 TAPE READING 1435 Bill Kloos, Attorney representing Mar-Dene Corp. (Wendy's), placed into the record a packet of various letters and documents consisting of 14 pages (known as Wendy's Exhibit #1). In his opinion, the City should not be concerned with the negotiations between Holiday Inn Express and Mar-Dene Corp.. The Planning Commission has reviewed the development proposal and identified an access problem at that time. In the original fmdings and conclusions, the property owners were to have reached an agreement and received prior approval from the City and ODOT on the agreement before a building permit would be issued. Attorney Kloos proceeded to go through a chronological account of the events leading up to this the fIling of the lawsuit in Circuit Court in April 1995 and LUBA's remand back to the City in August 1995. Attorney Kloos also objected to Attorney Shields' statement regarding the City's potential liability on this issue. Mr. Kloos stated that Wendy's has made very clear offers to Holiday Inn Express which should not be considered as the Council's problem. The mistake made by staff was in issuing the building permit prior to obtaining an agreement from all parties by Holiday Inn Express. The staff lost its leverage in getting full compliance with a condition of approval once the building and occupancy permits were issued. He also reminded the Council that there is nothing in the Planning Commission documents that require cash compensation to Holiday Inn Express. 2058 Mayor Kirksey reminded the parties that rebuttal statements would be allowed on specific issues brought up during this hearing. Attorney McClain stated that the explanation they have never received from Mar-Dene Corp. is why 3 or 4 neighbors should pay almost double the amount that Mar-Dene Corp. is willing to pay. He stated that patrons of Wendy's are currently using the west side of the driveway to get to Evergreen and that is okay with Holiday Inn Express. He also stated that Mr. Kloos contends that a median is going to happen on Highway 214. Mr. McClain does not feel that the median will be installed and his client hopes to be able to forestall this type of action by ODOT by having all parties comply with the condition originally approved by the Planning Commission. Holiday Inn Express is still willing to allow curb cuts on the north side of Wendy's provided they participate in funding in an amount equal to other owners paying 1I8th share of the costs. 2245 Attorney Kloos stated that the issue is not the details of the negotiations but the fact that the City should not be trying to negotiate for two (2) parties. 2335 Director Goeckritz emphasized the following issues: 1) The City's Transportation Plan which has been adopted identifies that there would be no median strip on Highway 214. He reminded the Council that ODOT participated in the formation of this plan and did not object to the plan document. 2) The development proposal began in 1991 and the condition of approval on the access issue was placed in the Planning Commission's fmdings to encourage negotiations and Page 5 - Council Meeting Minutes, October 14, 1996 w 3A COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 14, 1996 TAPE READING make things happen. The majority of the participants had agreed to the allocation of costs prior to the issuance of the building permit. 3) It was an administrative decision to issue the building permit in 1993. However, staff did take the issue back to the Planning Commission since he did not feel that the condition was enforceable, therefore, the development could begin along with improvements to the Highway and extension of Evergreen Road. Councilor Jennings questioned a letter received from OOOT dated September 12, 1996 regarding the removal of the diverter at the north end of the entrance driveway to Holiday Inn Express and Denny's Restaurant. Director Goeckritz stated that staff had contacted Holiday Inn Express immediately after receipt of the letter and found out that Holiday Inn Express had removed the barrier. They have since comeback with a landscape design for that driveway entrance which includes a fence and a fence diverter has been placed at the north end of the driveway which would discourage the driveway as an exit point. 2576 Mayor Kirksey closed the public hearing at 8:37 p.m.. Councilor Pugh expressed his opinion that the direction the Planning Commission has taken is the way to go on this issue. Councilor Jennings agreed with Councilor Pugh and stated that he had not seen or heard any evidence to overturn the Planning Commission's decision. Mayor Kirksey expressed her concern on Attorney Kloos's statement regarding the Community Development Director's issuance of the building permit and, in her opinion, he should not take the hit for this issue. Attorney Shields went through the rest of the procedura1list that he had provided at the start of the meeting and he did state that neither party (Holiday Inn Express or Mar- Dene Corp.) had made a request for the record to remain open. 2940 JENNINGS/PUGH. .. fmd that the City Council fInds that it vested with jurisdiction to consider compliance with and the enforcement and/or not enforcement of the access condition before the Council. The issue involves a land use decision is a discretionary determination under the Woodburn Zoning Ordinance as opposed to an administerial decision. The parties have been afforded and have availed themselves of the full quasi- judicial hearing process. That the Council fInds based on the fmdings and conclusions contained in Exhibit A of the Planning Commission which is attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, that the access condition originally imposed on Site Plan Review #92-12 has been substantially complied with and the Council based upon those findings and conclusions will take no further action to enforce the access condition originally imposed on Site Plan Review #92-12 as set forth above. On roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. Page 6 - Council Meeting Minutes, October 14, 1996 'If " TAPE READING Tape 2 0029 0135 3A COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 14, 1996 Attorney Shields stated that staff will prepare an ordinance for Council consideration at their next regular meeting at which time the Council will consider a final land use action. The Council took a break between 8:50 pm and 8:55 pm.. C~':CIL BILL 1751 - ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 1638 TO M IFY TIlE DEFINITION OF AN ANIMAL RUNNING AT LARGE (3rd Readina). Council Bill 1751 which was read by title only since there were no objections by the Council. At the last regular Council meeting, the bill had been read twice but did not receive a UJ'lanimous vote from the Council, therefore, it was brought back before the Council at this meeting. On roll call vote, the bill passed by a vote of 5-1 with Councilor Pugh voting nay. As a procedural point, Councilor Jennings questioned the designation of this reading as a "3rd reading". Attorney Shields stated that he would research the Charter provision and report back to the Council. Mayor Kirksey declared Council Bill 1751 duly passed with the emergency clause. COUNCIL BILL 1753 - RESOLUl'ION AUTHORIZING INTERDEPARTMENTAL BORROWING OF FUNDS DURING FISCAL YEAR 1996-97. Council Bill 1753 was introduced by Councilor Hagenauer. Recorder Tennant read the bill by title only since there were no objections from the Council. Councilor Pugh referred to a memo he had written in September 1995 on this issue and reiterated that he was uncomfortable in passing this type of Resolution since it places no control on the spending habits of department managers other than providing a bottom line annual appropriations amount. Brief discussion was also held on the net effect of interest earnings to the affected funds. Finance Director Gillespie stated that some funds rely on property tax dollars and/or reimbursement through grant funds as the major revenue source. Since property taxes are not received until November, those funds with a limited cash flow at the beginning of the fiscal year need to borrow funds from other city funds in order to pay incurred expenses. Interest is charged to the borrowing fund so that the lending fund does not suffer a loss in interest revenue it would have normally received if the loan had not been made. Further discussion was held and the Mayor agreed to appoint a Council sub-committee to meet with staff to address this issue. On roll call vote for fInal passage, the bill passed 5-1 with Councilor Pugh voting nay. Mayor Kirksey declared Council Bill 1753 duly passed. Page 7 - Council Meeting Minutes, October 14, 1996 1r " 3A COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 14, 1996 TAPE READING 0420 COUNCIL BILL 1754 - RESOLUfION ESTABLISHING AN APPLICATION FEE FOR AN EXPEDITED LAND DIVISION. Council Bill 1754 was introduced by Councilor Hagenauer. Recorder Tennant read the bill by title only since there were no objections from the Council. Councilor Figley questioned staff on the definition of an expedited land division. Attorney Shields stated that this is a legislative action from the last State legislative session which does not involve a land use and would generally involve a partition or subdivision. An expedited land division is an administrative process that involves no public hearing and appeals are submitted to a referee that is outside the influence of local jurisdiction. Once ftled, only property owners within 100ft of the affected area are notified rather than the 250 ft required for land use issues. The statute provides for fees to be set at an amount to recover full costs. Staff surveyed surrounding communities and had determined that $3,200 would be a fair application fee for this type of process. Following a brief discussion on the proposed application fee, roll call vote was taken with the Councilors voting unanimously in favor of the bill. Mayor Kirksey declared Council Bill 1754 duly passed. ~ BID AWARD - DATA PROCESSING STRATEGIC PLAN. Proposals for the strategic plan had been reviewed by staff and a recommendation was made to the Council to award the bid to Moss Adams LLP in an amount not to exceed $12,000 which is within the budgeted amount for this project. JENNINGS/FIGLEy.... award the bid for the Data Processing Strategic Plan to Moss Adams in an amount not to exceed $12,000.00. Director Gillespie briefly reviewed the framework in which the plan would be formulated and the fmal product will give the City a guideline in which to follow over the next 5 years addressing software, hardware, funding, staffing, and training without identifying specific brand-name products to purchase. The motion to award the bid passed unanimously. 0826 LIOUOR LICENSE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP APPLICATION - PLAYA de ORO. A change of ownership application was submitted by Lincoyan and Alba Cea for their business, Playa de Oro, which was previously owned by Salvador Rodriguez. Staff recommended that the applicants be approved for the transfer of the liquor license with the twelve license restrictions attached and, furthermore, the Council deny the proposed Assistant Manager Bedoya application. Councilor Jennings expressed his concern regarding potential denial of employment rights to an individual, however, after discussing this issue with the Police Chief, he had found that this individual could, after 30 days, take a Server's class then resubmit his application to OLCC.

A) Human Rights Committee -- Based on the information provided in the memo from Chief Wright, JENNINGS/FIGLEY... concur with the Police Chiefs request that the sunset clause be extended for six (6) months. Councilor Jennings expressed a desire to give the Committee an opportunity to develop their agenda in concert with the mission and purpose of the Committee and to solicit participation from other community organizations in hope that it will bring a broader representation of community participation. He suggested that the Council consider a one (1) year extension of the sunset clause rather than having the staff come back to the Council after 6 months to request another extension. Councilor Jennings changed his motion to read 1 year and Councilor Figley agreed to the change. The motion passed unanimously. B) League of Oregon Cities Annual Conference Registration Information -- The Annual Conference will be held in Port1and, November 15-17, and funds have been budgeted in the Mayor/Council budget for registration and lodging.

Page 9 - Council Meeting Minutes, October 14, 1996 1I' 3A COUNCn.. MEETING MINUTES October 14, 1996 TAPE READING F) Leaf Pick-Up Program -- Public Works Director Tiwari reminded the public that sidewalks and roadways are quite dangerous when leaves are left laying in the roadway and/or on sidewalks especially after it has been raining. Leaves" can be disposed of at the Wastewater Treatment Plant between October 28th and December 20th. The street sweeper will be increasing its sweeping rounds in the downtown area and main areas leading to the schools, however, residents are asked not to rake the leaves into the street. It was also noted that leaves plug up the catch basins causing a stormwater problem in the streets. Other options available to the residents include composting on private property, composting at the Marion County land fill site, and the pick-up of bagged leaves by United Disposal as part of the regular garbage service. It was noted that utilizing the land fIll site for composting or the garbage service will involve charges to the customer for the service. Tom Waggonner, 849 Woodland, stated that the leaves in Burlingham Park are raked into the ditch which also creates a water problem in that area. Mayor Kirksey stated that staff will look into this situation. 1405 MAYOR AND COUNCn.. REPORTS. Councilor Figley thanked the staff for the leaf report. She also complimented the Mayor on the letter sent to local businesses who sell spray paint regarding the possibility of keeping them locked up and out of the hands of minors. Councilor Jennings questioned the status of the gas tax. proposal. Director Tiwari stated that an ordinance will be on the agenda for the fIrSt meeting in November. Councilor Sifuentez requested that staff contact Marshall Serna regarding the problem he has been experiencing with a dog in his yard. Chief Wright reiterated that the new ordinance requires that all dogs which you own must be on a leash if they are not on your property. Mayor Kirksey informed the Council that she will be excusing herself from sitting on the bench at the public hearing tomorrow night due to a potential conflict of interest. 1593 ADJOURNMENT.

Recorder Tennant read the land use statement required by ORS Chapter 197. Attorney Shields reviewed the legal criteria listed in the zoning ordinance for evaluating a site plan. He stated that the application is before the Council for review, after being decided by the Planning Commission by final order, and after being called up by the City Council at a previous meeting. Page 1 - Special Council Meeting Minutes, October 15, 1996 ... TAPE READING 0290 0362 0375 38 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 15, 1996 Council President Jennings established the ground rules for this hearing, that being no time limit will be placed on the applicant or staff report but a 5-minute time limit will be placed on "testimony from proponents and opponents. Attorney Shields has conferred with the Attorney from Esperanza Court on this issue. He informed the audience that if anyone is not able to present their testimony within 5 minutes, they submit it in writing to the City Recorder so that it may be considered as evidence. Community Development Director Goeckritz submitted into the record as Exhibit #1 the following letters: 1) public testimony dated August 8, 1996 submitted by Farmworker Housing Development Corporation, and 2) public testimony dated August 1, 1996 from Western Computer Management Corporation. Director Goeckritz reviewed the following options available to the Council: 1) approve the Planning Commission's Final Order #95-26, 2) approve but modify the Planning Commission's Final Order #95-26, or 3) deny the Planning Commission's Final Order of Approval #95-26. Council President Jennings informed the audience that Councilor Hagenauer is ill and would not be in attendance at this meeting. Director Goeckritz continued his presentation and described the location of the property (south of Cleveland/east of First Street). The property is currently zoned Commercial and multi-family residential housing is a permitted use in the Commercial zone. The proposed development consists of a 12- unit complex, 2-story height, consisting of approximately 32,000 square feet. In addition, an office complex (approximately 1,500 sq. ft.) will house the Farmworker Housing Development Corp. (FHDC) staff. The buildings do meet the criteria on the amount of square footage needed to rest on the site along with the off-street parking criteria. As a condition of approval, the Planning Commission is requiring 2 off-street loading spaces. All of the setback requirements will be met and the landscaped area will more than adequately meet the established requirements. FHDC will also be installing a tot lot surrounded by a 3 foot fence and have expressed a willingness to install bike racks. He reviewed the location of the driveways onto Cleveland Street and Oak Street along with the design of the building. The office complex will be a separate unit, one-story in height, which will be constructed of the same building materials so that it will meld with the complex. Signage for this development will be placed behind the setback area. He stated that the applicant has met or is willing to meet all of the conditions. Page 2 - Special Council Meeting Minutes, October 15, 1996 If TAPE READING 0775 1025 3B SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 15, 1996 The Planning Commission Final Order recommends approval of this site plan. Councilor Figley.stated that the hearing is a site plan review and questioned if any other criteria needs to be considered. Director Goeckritz reiterated that this development is a permitted outright use within this zone. Ellen Johnson, Attorney representing FHDC on Esperanza Court, provided a history of the development which included 6 months of work with City staff before the application was filed. The site plan had been approved by the Planning Commission, however, the City Council had decided to bring this issue before them for review. Since FHDC had not received any notice of a particular concern on this application, it is their understanding that the only issue before the Council is whether or not Esperanza Court complies with the applicable standards. She also stated that she would object to the introduction of testimony on any other issue. Additionally, she stated that FHDC reserves the right to submit final written arguments within 7 days after closure of the record as provided for within ORS Chapter 197. She noted that several exhibits had been entered into the record by the City Recorder just prior to the start of this meeting. She cited specific state statutes that set specific limitations on the local governments ability to prevent farmworker housing and the woodburn Zoning Ordinance has not been amended to reflect these state-wide amendments. In ORS 197.312, it prohibits the City from applying any approval standards, special conditions, or procedures on seasonal and year-round farmworker housing that are not clear and objective or the have the affect either in themselves or cumulatively of discouraging year-round farmworker housing through unreasonable cost or delay or by discriminating against such housing. Esperanza Court is an effort to provide much needed housing in this area and all of the units will be occupied by very low-income farmworkers. She stated that it is FHDC's position that the Council must incorporate the state statutes into the local criteria when considering FHDC's application and must also comply with the federal Fair Housing Act which makes it illegal for the City to otherwise make it available or deny a dwelling to any person because of race, religion, sex, color, familial status, or national origin. In conclusion, she reminded the Council of applicable criteria and standards which need to be followed when reviewing the application and making a final decision. Greg Winterowd, Land Use Planner, office at 700 N. Hayden Dr, Portland, stated that he had been a staff person at LCDC in the early 1980's and, at that time, had reviewed Woodburn's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance for compliance with Page 3 - Special Council Meeting Minutes, October 15, 1996 1r 38 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 15, 1996 TAPE READING state-wide planning goals including goals in housing. Subsequent statutes have been adopted to specifically identify as-needed housing, farmworker housing, and government assisted housing. He began his work on this project in March 1996 to work with staff to re-design the development to meet the applicable zoning standards. By the time the application was submitted to the Planning Commission, each standard within the code had been met. During the Planning Commission hearing, there was no opposition to the proposed development. In the final order, the Planning Commission did require two (2) off- street loading spaces for the complex and office structure. He requested that the Council voice any issues they may have on this site plan prior to the close of the hearing so that they would have an opportunity to respond to the specific issue(s). He reiterated that the site plan is only subject to standards explicitly stated in the zoning ordinance and it explicitly states that plan policies in the comprehensive plan cannot be used as approval criteria. The legislature made the statutory changes since some local governments had taken policies out of their plan and applied them to deny locally unpopular projects. He stated that in the record there is a memorandum from Attorney Shields which substantiates his comments. He briefly reviewed and explained the following criteria which applies to this application: 1) building layout, 2) landscaping, and 3) parking. He reiterated that FHDC is willing and eager to meet each and every condition recommended by the staff and confirmed by the Planning Commission. 1375 Alma Grijalva, Executive Director of FHDC, stated that FHDC is a non-profit corporation which was incorporated in 1990. Their first housing development was Neuvo Amanecer (located at 1274 N. Fifth St.) and the proposed Esperanza Court development would house an additional 12 farmworker families. She provided statistical data on farmworkers as it relates to work performed, hearings, population in Marion County, age and family size, and housing needs. She stated that FHDC has worked with City staff to meet all of the City's standards and she urged the Council to support the Esperanza Court development project. 1750 Eloy Barrera, 17311 Boones Ferry Rd., spoke as a proponent for the project citing the need for more farmworker housing within our community. His family came to this area in 1949 and he related his early experiences with housing shortages to farmworkers which is very similar to the problems farmworkers are experiencing today. In his opinion, the Esperanza Court project will provide much needed housing to farmworker families in addition to being a benefit to the community. Page 4 - Special Council Meeting Minutes, October 15, 1996 w TAPE ~lNG 2~59 SPECXAL COUNCXL MEETXNG MXNUTES october ~5, ~996 36 Guadalupe peralta. resident at Neuvo Amanecer. briefly provided the Council with the type of living conditions her family has experienced while she has been in this area and before her family waS able to secure an apartment at Neuvo Amanecer. She expressed her support of the Esperanza Court project. Ramon Ramirez. Vice president of FHDC & president of pCUN. stated that farmworkers are still not afforded many of the rights and benefits enjoyed by other workers. Some far11\Workers do not have homes while others live in labOr camps or in their cars. In his opinion, Esperanza Court meets the site plan criteria and would be a positive step in rectifying and improving affordable housing in our community. Yolanda Martinez, stated that her husband has been a far11\Worker in the united states for 10 years and she came to this country in 1995 so that they could live as a family. Housing is limited and they currentlY live in a garage waiting for an affordable apartment. She expressed her opinion that Esperanza Court will benefit families like theirs to obtain suitable housing. Al Nunez, former founding president of FHDC, provided a brief histOry on reasons for the formation of FHDC and the development of Nuevo AmaOecer which has proved to be a very successful farmWOrker housing project. He advocated the approval of the Esperanza court project which does meet the relevant criteria and would also provide much needed affordable far11\Worker housing in the woodburn area. Job Pozos, FHDC Board member since 1994, spoke in favor of the site plan application citing the need for additional farmworker housing in our area. Celia Nunez, EXecutive Director for the Hispanic Affairs comm~ssion, expressed her support (along with the comm~ssion's) for Esperanza court citing the need for afford~bl~ far11\W~rker housing in this area. In her opinion. the bu~ld~ng des~gn and open space will enhance the area in which it will be located. 2604 Larry Klienma~, c~-founder ~nd Secretary of pCUN. expresser su~por~ of th~S s~te plan s~nce it meets all of the requi' cr~ter~a. poor housing conditions contribute to an as soy of problems and ~ndermines good physical and mental hea" s~lf-esteem, fam~ly relationshiPs, and equitable relat' w~th.employers.

Ellen Johnson expressed her appreciation to the Council for the time they allowed in submitting testimony. She also stated that are requesting'to submit final written arguments within 7 days after the hearing is closed. Attorney Shields briefly summarized the request of the applicant and the Council's ability to close the hearing after receiving the all of the applicant's rebuttal statements. Greg Winterowd reiterated that the land as zoned allows for multi-family residential as a permitted outright use. Secondly, the Planning Commission Procedure Manual is not a decision criteria and is irrelevant to the proceedings. He reminded the Council that the statutes supersedes any manual the City hands out to the Commission. Thirdly, in his opinion, the Comprehensive Plan is irrelevant to this decision and it is inappropriate to use a plan policy to try and overturn what is permitted outright use under zoning. He re- read the ORS Chapter 197 excerpt on this issue and, in his opinion, the suggestion made by Nancy Kirksey cannot be done by the Council. Councilor Sifuentez questioned Attorney Shields on the Comprehensive Plan issue. Attorney Shields referenced his February 1996 memorandum to the Commission on the issue addressing the legislative changes which now provides that the criteria are the criteria listed earlier during this hearing. Councilor Chadwick expressed her sympathy for those individuals who are homeless or unable to afford decent housing, however, she did question how many individuals would be living at each unit. Alma Grijalva stated that FHDC has strict occupancy rules and they do have inspections regularly to monitor those rules and they have been successful. They do follow the standard housing guidelines and for a two-bedroom apartment they would probably have 4 individuals living in that apartment. Renters enter into a one-year lease which is renewable. FHDC does work with their tenants toward home ownership. Page 8 - Special Council Meeting Minutes, October 15, 1996 '1" TAPE READING 1324 1367 1481 1628 1737 28 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 15, 1996 Council President Jennings declared the public hearing closed at 10 :40 p.m.. Attorney Shields stated that the Council has now closed the public hearing and closed the record. Under the statute, the applicant has the right to submit in 7 days written arguments but no additional testimony. His advice to the Council was to deliberate to the point where they would make a motion to direct the staff to prepare an ordinance but no final land use action will be taken until the ordinance is adopted. Councilor Pugh stated that, as an observation, there is a need for additional farmworker housing and a build out of Neuvo Amanecer should be done as soon as possible. Secondly, he said that maybe he misunderstood, but there was a comment made by the applicant's attorney that a "no vote" would be an act of discrimination and he resented that type of a threat brought before the public body. He feels that the Planning Commission had carried out their duty and this matter had been decided by them based on the land use laws they were required to follow. He outlined his views on land use laws in general and also stated that since he was unable to vote his conscience on this issue, he would be abstaining from voting. Councilor Figley expressed her views on this subject stating that the Council needed to hold this hearing since it has been so controversial. She felt that the Planning Commission had done a good job on this site plan application and she will vote to uphold the Planning Commission's final order. In her opinion, rules need to be followed by all and, if so, the developer has a right to develop their property within the established rules. Councilor Sifuentez stated that at the beginning, she was indecisive about the project since she has also envisioned this location as a potential site for a community center. She wants to see this community as a Community of Unity and she has tried to build this bridge. Nancy Kirksey has worked very hard to get Hispanics not only involved in the community but also city government. In summary, the developers have followed the rules in preparing this site plan, therefore, she will be upholding the Planning Commission decision. The City should have purchased the land back when it was available. She also expressed her concern over comments made about the cost of education since children are the future of a community and educating those children is in the best interest of all of us. Councilor Chadwick stated that the testimony shows that there is a great need for low incomejfarmworker housing, however, residents she has talked to, and she agrees with them, that Page 9 - Special Council Meeting Minutes, October 15, 1996 '" TAPE READING 1764 1827 1884 ATTEST 38 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES October 15, 1996 the downtown area is not an appropriate place for residential housing of any kind. She feels that another location would better and they could build a larger complex to accommodate more people.

The Last parking Space in front of Salvador's Store downtown. Commissioner Palmer was concerned about striping the curb corner as a no parking area for better site visibility at that corner. Staff stated he would talk to the Street Department. Commissioner Frawley commented on the chipping away of the tax base, due to the overload of housing that does not contribute to that base. Commissioner Schultz stated she felt that Marion County Housing was sincere when they stated they had not built any housing in Woodburn in quite some time and did not have plans to build soon. She was curious if private owners could be stopped. Staff stated they can not be stopped as long as they meet all the standards. Commissioner Warzynski asked if the parking lot between Garfield and Hayes belonged to the City? She said if it did, she would like to see it turned Into a plaza type area. Staff was not sure who the parking lot belonged to. Chairperson Bjelland stated she was curious about loitering laws. If there were loitering laws in place, more families would use the downtown area. Chairperson Bjelland stated she also felt City Hall should start thinking about expansion twenty years from now. She stated the area where the small deli was supposed to be built, should be an overlay zone area or something to protect it for future use as a parking area.

Commissioner Atki.nson stated there was such a tight turn to go right if you are on 99E to turn east onto Uncoln, someone could get hit if waiting at the signal. Another area he was concerned with is Hwy 214 at 3:00 in the afternoon when school lets out, it becomes a 20 mile an hour zone and nobody does 20 miles an hour. . There was further discussion regarding Front Street, Hwy 214 and the south by-pass. Commissioner Will asked why there was no building report. Staff stated it would be in the next packet.

Commissioner Will asked if the Commission and the City Council were ever going to have a workshop on Zoning. Staff stated it there is going to be a Goal Setting Workshop in the very near future. There was further discussion regarding freeway access, industrial zones and zoning in general. 9 ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Palmer made the motion to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting.

OREGON 97124-30B9 (503) 648-7163 October 21, 1996 Mr. Chris Childs Woodburn City Manager 207 Montgomery Woodburn, Oregon 97071 RE: Farmworker Housing Development Corporation ApplicationlEsperanza Court Dear Mr. Childs: Please consider this letter to be the written rebuttal argument presented on behalf of the applicant, PHDC. I appreciated the patience of the City Council in listening to the many witnesses who wanted to speak. Because this is a rebuttal, I will only address the issue raised by the opponents. THE COUNCIL'S DECISION MUST BE BASED ON APPLICABLE CRITERIA This hearing was called to determine whether the criteria for evaluating a plan site as listed in Section 11.070 of the Woodburn City Code were met by the applicant. Multi-family residential housing is an outright permitted use at this location. Whether residential housing or multi-family housing should be permitted at this location is not before the City Council in this hearing. The witness speaking in opposition asked the City council to reject the application based on criteria not listed in the applicable City Ordinance, Section 11.070. The Mayor, speaking as a witness from the audience, encouraged the City Council to reach a decision based on language in the planning commission training manual and the comprehensive plan. She and other witnesses in opposition did not support residential or multi-family residential use at this location. Another witness suggested that his housing would cost schools more money. State law does not permit the City Council to use criteria stated in the comprehensive plan regardless of anything written in the planning commission training manual.1 The City Council must make the decision based on the criteria listed in the applicable ordinance, Section 11.070. lORS 197.195(1) provides that Within two years of September 29, 1991, cities and counties shall incorporate all comprehensive plan standards applicable to limited land use decisions into their land use regulations. If a city fails to incorporate its comprehensive plan provision it may not be used as a basis for a decision by the city. '11' 10A Mr. Chris Childs October 21, 1996 Page 2 The City of Woodburn's attorney, the City's planner, FHDC's attorney, and FHDC's planner all agree that the criteria applicable for evaluating this site plan are found in Section 11.,070 of the Woodburn Zoning Ordinance. The City's attorney displayed this criteria on the overhead projector prior to the hearing. He advised the City Council that Section 11.070 provided the only applicable criteria. The public was told to direct comments toward these criteria. Section 11.070 of the Woodburn City Code provides as follows; Criteria for Evaluating a Site plan. The following criteria shall be used in evaluating a Site Plan: (a) The placement of structures on the property shall minimize adverse impact on adjacent uses. (b) Landscaping shall be used to minimize impact on adjacent uses. (c) Landscaping shall be so located as to maximize its aesthetic value. (d) Access to the public streets shall minimize the impact of traffic patterns. Wherever possible, direct driveway access shall not be allowed to arterial streets. Wherever possible, access shall be shared with adjacent uses of a similar nature. (e) The design of the drainage facilities shall minimize the impact on the City's or other public agencies drainage facilities. (f) The design encourages energy conservation, both in its sitting on the lot, and its accommodation of pedestrian and bicycle traffic. (Note: specifIc solar access provisions are described in Section 8.200.) (g) The proposed site development, including the architecture, landscaping and graphic design, is in conformity with the site development requirements of this Ordinance and with the standards of this and other ordinances insofar as the location and appearance of the proposes development are involved. (h) The location, design, color and materials of the exterior ;of all structures and signs are compatible with the proposed development and appropriate to the character of the immediate neighborhood. With the exception of traffic and parking, the testimony in opposition did not address any of the applicable criteria. The testimony about residential use or multi-family residential use is not relevant to the criteria set forth in the applicable ordinance and therefore should not be considered in reaching the decision. It would not be fair to tell potential land purchasers that 'IT . ' 10A Mr. Chris Childs October 21, 1996 Page 3 they can purchase land for multi-family housing and then change the rules after the land is purchased. It would be equally unfair to have the City's attorney and planner tell the applicant and the public that this hearing is based on the criteria listed in Section 11.070 of the Woodburn City Code, and then, after public testimony for the applicant is completed, apply new criteria not listed in Section 11.070, like school funding or the comprehensive plan. This would not permit the applicant to prepare testimony and evidence ;on the criteria actually used to reach the decision. As explained in the applicant's pre-hearing brief, ORS 197.685, ors 197.295 and the FHA also limit the City Council's action in considering the applicant. ORS 197.685(1) declares that "the availability of decent, safe and sanitary housing opportunities for seasonal farmworkers is a matter of statewide concern." It requires the following: Any approval standards, special conditions and procedures for approval adopted by a local government shall be clear and objective and shall not have the effect, either in themselves or cumulatively, of discouraging needed housing through unreasonable cost or delay. If the City Council applied the comprehensive plan or the planning commission's training manual, this would violated ORS 197.685 because they are not objective and would discourage this needed housing. The testimony established a need for farmworkers housing and there was not testimony against the need. It would also violate! the ORS 197.307(6) which applies a similar prohibition related to government subsidized housing. It would violateA the FHA to apply new and different criteria to this permit than to other similar permitted uses. PARKING AND TRAFFIC ISSUES ARE ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED The FHDC planner worked closely with the City planner to fully comply with the parking and traffic requirements applicable to this development. As explained in testimony and in answer to questions by the City Council, there will be two off-street parking places per unit. FHDC issues parking decals to tenants and routinely patrols for violations. FHDC limits occupancy. The size of the parking spaces are generous by most standards, because they do not count space on the curb where the car is usually overhanging the curb. The City planner and the FHDC planner testified that access to the public streets in this design minimizes the impart of traffic patterns, that driveways are not entering arterial streets, and that it is not possible to share access with adjacent uses of a similar nature.

ROBERT SHIELDS. CITY ATTORNEYf/fLj COUNCIL BYLAWS REVISION TO: FROM: DATE: OCTOBER 22, 1996 At your October 28, 1996 meeting you will consider an ordinance revising the existing City Council Bylaws. This revision has taken some time to accomplish and was completed due to the hard work of Mayor Kirksey and Council President Jennings. In my opinion, the revised bylaws are far superior to Council bylaws that existed before beginning the project. The time and effort spent on the revision was well worth it. Significant changes to the bylaw ordinance are as follows: Section 1 contains an entirely new purpose section that specifically explains how the City Council first considered the Charter and state law before adopting the bylaw ordinance. This section should strengthen the legal validity of the ordinance as a Charter supplement. Sections 2 and 3 have been streamlined for easier use. Section 4 contains a significant change in the way that the Mayor confers with the City Council prior to making an appointment. While the Charter provision allowing a mayoral appointment still controls, the Mayor now has an ordinance obligation to confer in good faith with the City Council prior to making an appointment. Furthermore, the ordinance now specifically states that both the Mayor and City Council shall make every possible effort to avoid embarrassment to appointees. In the event that the City Council does not confirm a mayoral appointment, the Mayor now has a ten day period in which to make a new appointment and submit it to the City Council. Some of the language in Section 5 has been clarified. In Section 6, a significant revision was made to the general public hearing procedure. In particular, the declarations subsection was made more specific. Also, the entire procedure was made more .user friendly. so that it is clearer for the City Council and members of the public.

ORDINANCE NO. MEMO TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: 100 City Council through t~d~nistrator , Public Works Director ~ ~ - Ordinance to Increase Local Gas Tax for Street Program October 24, 1996 RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached ordinance that provides funds for improvement of existing streets by making a two-cent addition to the local gas tax. BACKGROUND: On September 10, 1996, the city council held a workshop that was open to the public and, after receiving input, a consensus was reached to expand the city's resurfacing program and fund it by increasing the local gas tax by two cents. City council inferred that staff should take action soon and bring an ordinance for council's review and approval. Members of the city council have noted on their own that the rate of pavement deterioration has escalated recently and thus the concern to protect the pavement surfaces has increased. Woodburn streets are older and more susceptible to bad weather conditions, such as was experienced in last year's flooding. The city council discussed different options and related costs of preventing future problems. Some issues that were discussed in detail in the publiC work shOp are as follows: 1 . Based on the current contracting environment, the revenue need for resurfacing/improving streets over the age of 35 years is estimated at $1.2 million and for all streets over the age of 25 years is estimated at $4.4 million. 2. The cost of extending the life of pavement by resurfacing, before it deteriorates to a degree that reconstruction becomes necessary, is both economical and preferable. Therefore, increased effort needs to be made to resurface the streets that are older but have not deteriorated badly yet. 3. Extension of pavement life is expensive and the city's current pavement management practice includes all of the following: A. B. C. D. E. F. G. Minor storm drain repairs and extensions Crack sealing Surface patch Tread way repairs Drag box skin coat sealing Performed by Public Works street crew Major surface and tread way repairs Resurfacing with storm drainage corrections Performed by Contractors 100 The ordinance being presented to the council will generate additional revenue in the amount of approximately $200,000 per year. This defined source of revenue could be used to sell revenue bonds and make major resurfacing efforts in a shorter time frame to meet council's desired goals. The revenue generated by this ordinance will be placed in the city gas tax funds specifically designated for associated resurfacing expenses for proper tracking. The state agency responsible for collecting the tax has provided their input and the ordinance has been modified to meet their requirements. The city attorney has completed a legal review and made necessary changes to the ordinance. Since all staff work has been completed, it is recommended that the city council approve the attached ordinance that generates revenue for street pavement protection program.

Trailer World $20,306.55 Tr 10G 10H MEMO TO: City Council through the City Administrator FROM: Public Works Director ~ ~ -= ~' SUBJECT: Engineering Report for Downtown Alley Improvement DATE: October 24, 1996 RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Engineering report as presented and direct staff to prepare "Resolution of Intent to Improve Downtown Alley" that establishes pavement improvement cost sharing by the city at fifty percent. BACKGROUND: The city council goals adopted last year include improvement of the downtown alley. The creation of a 'Local Improvement District' requires that the city follow a defined process outlined below: 1. City council directs staff to prepare an engineer's report for its review. 2. If Engineer's Report is acceptable, city council may direct staff to prepare "Resolution of Intent to Improve," that defines the Local Improvement District boundary and sets a date for the required public hearing. 3. City council holds a public hearing on the project and receives input from affected property owners. 4. If more than 50% of the property owners approve the project, then city council may direct staff to bring an ordinance that authorizes improvement cost assessment against the benefitted properties In the Local Improvement District. 5. After assessment ordinance has been approved, city council may authorize sale of bond to generate revenue to pay for the project or, on smaller projects, city council may allow borrowing of funds from other city sources on a tempora~ basis. 6. After assessment ordinance has been approved, city staff completes the final engineering plans and contract document, advertises the project, and bids are received. 7. Staff makes recommendation to council to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. 8. Construction activities take place under the supervision of Engineering. 9. The last step of the process is performed by the Finance Department as they complete the final assessment process. 1I 10H At present, we are on second step with presentation of the engineering report. Unless something unforeseen happens, the alley improvement construction activities will take place in the summer of 1997. Council approval of the engineering report is requested. GST:lg ALLEYRPT .cc Tr 10H Downtown Alley Improvement Engineer's Report This Engineer's Report is in response to Council's stated desire to improve the Alley between Hays and Harrison Street. Back;&round: The alley has two obvious deficiencies: 1. The vehicle driving surface has deteriorated to a rough and uneven condition. 2. Roof drains are led directly to the uneven driving surface that causes the water to then form puddles within the low places of the street. There is another deficiency; upon investigation it has been determined the water main in Alley subsurface grade should be replaced. This work will be done well before construction initial beginning, should it be decided to improve Alley. Remedy: 1. Remove old driving surfilce and replace it with a new subgrade and a new street. New street section will be on a modem and functional series of vertical curves; storm water catch basins will be provided at troughs of these curves. 2. Roof downspout drains will be connected directly to storm water trunk sewer; this trunk sewer exists within Alley right-of-way. Attached Drawines: The attached sheets present a concise picture of property owner names, frontage footings, addresses. tax lot numbers, and three options of street surfil.ce and sidewalk combinations. Each option has a stated proposal of materials that would comprise the option; following is a brief description of these proposals and their abbreviations. Option #1; "All P.C.C. Improvements" means curbs as well as Alley driving surface would be concrete. Option #2; ''P.C.C. & AC means curbs would be concrete but street driving surface would be asphalt. Option #3; ''P.C.C with sidewalk" means curbs, sidewalk, and driving surface would all be of concrete. The second column in each option represents footage charges to owners with city sharing 50% of pavement improvement cost. Dollar costs for engineering. finance, and administration are included in the figures presented. Recommendation: It is recommended that City Council approve Engineer's Report and direct staff to bring resolution of intent to improve downtown Alley.

You received one of 22 Rural Investment Fund grants awarded this week as a result of a four month long application and selection process. We received 58 applications for a total request of $2.6 million. The next step in the Rural Investment Fund process will be the execution of a contract between your City, and the Mid- Willamette Valley Council of Governments, the fiscal agent of the Mid Valley Regional Strategy Board.. Staff from the Council of Governments will be contacting you in the very near future to discuss details of the contract. If you have any questions about your award, please call Tom Lasher or Ray Teasley at (503) 588-6177. Again, our congratulations to you and those who worked on the grant application. ~~lj:tM Mid-Willamette Valley Regional Strategy Board 105 High Street SE Salem, Oregon 97301-3667 Phone (503J 588-6177 FAX (503J 588-6094 'II" MEMO 158 TO: City Administrator for Council Information FROM: Assistant City Engineer ~ October 23, 1996 DATE: Brown and Calwell, design Engineers for the main treatment plant, will like to make a pre-design presentation to the city council in the month of February 1997. However, staffwants to keep council informed of technical progress and issues that have significant impacts on wastewater treatment plant. PRE-DESIGN UPDATE Presently, Brown and Caldwell is completing the first of three pre-design reports which will confirm, and further develop the findings and recommendations presented in the Facilities Plan. After incorporation of comments from the City of Woodburn and D.E.Q., the three pre-design reports will be merged together to produce a final report that will update Volume I of the Facilities Plan. The Sta&e 1 pre-design report summarizes the evaluation of influent flows and loads, preliminary treatment, wet weather primary clarification, efl1uent filtration, ultraviolet disinfection and septage receiving. Preliminary facilities locations will be updated and revised as remaining unit process investigations are completed and the site plan is developed. Stage 1 pre-design report was submitted to the City on September 19, 1996. The Staae 2 pre-design is being started and will include: Secondary clarifiers, solids handling, emergency storage pond, river gauging station. The Staae 3 pre-design that will be started in about 2 months will include: Secondary treatment process, electrical & schematic aeration, & administration building. TEMPERATURE ISSUES Recently D.E.Q. has established a temperature standard for the Pudding River basin of 64Of. Higher temperatures do hann certain aquatic life, therefore, it must be addressed in the same manner as any other pollutant that is harmful to aquatic life. The Pudding River violates this temperature standard during some summer months. How this affects the treatment plant expansion has not yet been detennined. However, the treatment plant's discharge is consistently over 640f and has some effect on the Pudding River Temperature. It has been established that if the river does not meet the temperature standard of 640 F then our wastewater discharge cannot raise the temperature more than an additional 0.250 F. This requirement is within a mixing zone which has not yet been established. The Wastewater Division is currently gathering river temperature data to use in an analysis of the Treatment Plant's effect on river temperatures. - ITEMS RELATED TO PLANTATION AND FORCE MAIN 158 Two items that will be brought for Council action in the near future are: I. As recommended by the consultant selection committee, the Contract with CH2MlHill for the pre-design of the Poplar Plantation is being finalized. Phase I of the contract Pre- design activities, i.e., permit negotiations, temperature evaluations, value engineering, plantation layout, and public education/outreach. Phase II contract that will include final design and construction engineering of plantation will be brought after approximately 9 months. 2. Contract with Crane & Merseth is being finalized for design, contract plans and documents, and future engineering services for construction inspection for 1-5 lift station force main and Mill Creek lift station force main. w MEMO 15C FROM: City Administrator for CounCIII'Y:,tlon . Public Works Dlr8CtOr~,.-- ~ Residential Wastewater Billing Information Including Winter Averaging Being Sent to Customers TO: SUBJECT: DATE: October 24, 1996 To facilitate better understanding of city's wastewater charges for residential users, attached flyers will be sent to all customers starting with the November billing cycle. Sewer charges for different water use activity, winter averaging method, leak adjustments, and possibility of lowering sewer bill even after winter average has been established, have been clearly stated in the flyers. To maximize the benefit, the flyer information has been printed in English as well 8S Spanish. SWRFL YER 1I ATTENTION! RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS THE WINTER AVERAGING PERIOD HAS ARRIVED ~RJ< THIS f)ATt Similar to last year, the lowest three months of water consumption out of four months of readings (between November and March) will be used to calculate a new winter average which will be the basis for your monthly sewer charge for the following twelve (12) months. The attached poster shows sewer charges for different activities. YO U can control the amount of your sewer bill by being aware of the costs and by using water wisely. ADJUSTMENTS: Adjustments for water leaks are made by the City when the leak has been promptly repaired and reported. This action in the winter months could affect the average winter consumption, which is the basis of your sewer bill. Reduction in the sewer bill is possible even after the winter average has been calculated for those who reduce their water use pattern. This adjustment is possible when the water consumption of three (3) consecutive mooths is reduced below the winter average. A neW lower average means a lower monthly bill for you. Obviously, no adjustment is possible belowtbe minimum monthly sewer charge of $20.20 per unit. Let us know if you qualify for the adjustments; we are ready to help. If you have questions, or need more information, call Julie Moore at 982-5247. - ... ...' . . J'oo...

City of Woodburn ... -" -- MEMO To: From: Subject: Date: City Council File Dick Pugh Site Plan Review #95-26 Esperanza Court October 15,1996 ~M. . ent, members of the council, this hearin is t e volume of text, verball certainly the most controversial that 0 e since being on the commission and for the pas with this city council body. rU {;i!i!" #.!!ff/4'Pni'''' 18"'IV~r 6.1h>eI-{>n,,-,Ue- ~<TZ> Y, 1 have heard & read criticism of the planning commission for it's deliberations on this matter and for that I feel very badly. This is a body of people, probably the best that Woodburn has had on its commission for some time and they carried out their duty well.. This matter was decided by them following thorough deliberations and the land use laws as laid down for them to follow. It is a shame that our general public is not more knowledgeable of our land use laws so there could be a greater understanding when a decision is made. As a matter of fact if that happened some of the fallacies in that program could indeed be improved upon. During this concluding period of our council review, I was convinced that there has to be latitude for the council in its deliberations; taking into account that we should be able to see a broader picture and correct any developing trend that could be harmful to the city of Woodburn. It seemed to me that if this wasn't the case, the only use for the council was to check the application of the land use laws and act accordingly, rubber stamping the commission decision should there not be any errors in application. As far as the land use laws are concerned this appears to be the case. We, by the law, are nothing more than an audit function as concerns the actions of the planning commission. I DON'T BLAME THE PLANNING COMMISSION, I BLAME THE OVER DICTATORIAL POWERS OF THE STATE OF OREGON, AS THESE LAWS WERE WRITTEN, AND HOW IT APPLIES TO THE CITY COUNCn.. ON OVERVIEW OF THESE LAND USE DECISIONS. When I joined this city council I vowed I would always vote my conscience, regardless of the negative effects on my personal life. It had seemed to me that our responsibility was to serve the voting public and to favorably effect the outcome of this city. My biggest fight has always been to avoid deterioration of our property values by improper zoning or sightless planning. In this case I am unable to vote my conscience, but I will not break this promise to myself. I cannot in good conscience vote for 95-26. Since I can't vote my conscience I will abstain from voting on this measure. 11' I OGBA I .IEI.I_IUIE lWEIS asslCIITIOI 777 - 13th St. S.E., Suite 120 - Salem, OR 97301 Phone (503) 581-9156 - Fax (503) 589-0608 October 28, 1996 The Honorable Nancy Kirksey Mayor, City of Woodburn 270 Montgomery St. Woodburn, OR 97071 Dear Mayor Kirksey and Councilors: The Oregon Gasoline Dealers Association opposes the city of Woodburn's proposed gas-tax increase, per the Association's stance in opposition to all local gas-taxes. Our position paper on this subject is attached. OGDA representatives are working with Governor Kitzhaber and representatives of other interest groups toward 1997 legislation to secure adequate funding for local street and road projects. We believe that a uniform statewide gas-tax, with a reasonable increase above the present rate, is the best and fairest way to provide municipalities with the necessary funds. And the Governor himself has stated his opposition to a fragmented system of transportation funding in the state. But local gas-taxes are not a fair method of obtaining these funds. An increase in Woodburn's gas-tax will mean stations will be even more pressed into unfair competition with nearby stations outside the city limits, and even with stations in Wilsonville, Keizer and Salem. OGDA urges the Woodburn City Council to not adopt a gas-tax increase. However, should the Council opt for such an increase, the OGDA and its member dealers will work to refer the increase to the voters and then will work toward its defeat at the polls. We hope that the Mayor and Council in 1997 will, either singly or in concert with the League of Oregon Cities, work with us and other interested groups toward a street- and road-funding program with which we all can live. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, 7' --4. Mike Sims Administrator --=> . L-~--- 'II" .. . OREGON GASOliNE IUlERS ASSOCIATION 1996-97 POSITION PAPER STATE AND LOCAL GASOLINE TAXES The OGDA believes that all motorists who buy gasoline in Oregon should pay the same gas-tax rate, regardless of the locality in which the gas is purchased. Currently, this is not the case. MuItnomah and Washington counties, and the cities of The Dalles, Tillamook and Woodburn, have municipal gas-taxes ranging from 1 to 3 cents per gallon. Two counties and three cities don't seem like much, but in an era of ever-shrinking state and Federal funds for local road projects, it's easy to imagine other municipalities seeking local sources of funds. Local gas-taxes provide an element of unfair competition to an already-competitive marketplace, particularly in metropolitan areas and other areas with several municipalities closely grouped. Fuel-purchasing decisions are very price-sensitive, and differences of 2 to 6 cents per gallon often can drive motorists across nearby county or city boundaries to buy fuel. This is particularly true for large commercial customers. Those businesses which continue to buy fuel inside the taxing district must pass the added fuel costs on to their customers. Thus, this artificial competition caused by differing local gas-tax rates affects the cost of doing business for more than just gasoline retailers. These taxes can result in fuel-availability problems as well, when stations operating on small profit-margins (and most stations do) are compelled to close. These closures can be caused by just one competitive factor, and that factor often is the presence of a local gas-tax in a municipality near, or adjacent to, a community without one. The OGDA is not opposed to gas taxes per se. We recognize and appreciate the role such taxes for more than 75 years have played in giving Oregon one of the finest highway systems in the world. OGDA has no objection to any reasonable increase in state gas-taxes for highway, road and street purposes, as prescribed by the state Constitution. The OGDA proposes adding 5 cents per gallon, or less, to the state gas-tax, to be earmarked for distribution to local road-funds. At the same time, OGDA proposes a ban on all current local gas-taxes and on the enactment of new ones. THE OGDA FAVORS ONE UNIFIED, STATEWIDE GAS-TAX RATE. 777 -13th St. S.E., Suite 120 @ Salem, OR 97301 (503) 581-9156 tr FAX 589-0608 rr
