COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES June 24, 1996 PUBLIC HEARING - OLCC LICENSE APPLICATION FOR SALVADOR'S BAKERY #3. 320 N. PACIFIC HIGHWAY. Mayor Kirksey declared the public hearing open at 7:19 p.m.. Administrator Childs read into the record a letter received from Attorney Timothy O'Neill, representing Mr. Larios, which included a letter of explanation from Mr. Larios regarding the incidents outlined in the staff report. The business establishment is located at 320 N. Pacific Hwy., formerly known as Hi-Way 99 Market and prior to that Linds Market, and the new owner is requesting a change of ownership Package Store liquor license. Chief Wright reviewed the staff report providing information on inconsistencies found during the background investigation between Mr. Larios's original 1992 liquor license application and his current application. The report summarized specific incidents in which Mr. Larios was unwilling to cooperate with the Police Department after he had called the police for assistance. Additionally, Mr. Larios had failed to disclose criminal arrests and violations on the liquor license individual history application. It was also noted that Mr. Larios had an outstanding warrant in Toppenish, WA for Statutory Rape, however, there is no disposition on this case at this time. Based on information obtained during the investigation process, Chief Wright recommended the denial of the liquor license change of ownership application. Timothy O'Neill, attorney representing Mr. Larios, spoke on behalf of the applicant and stated that Mr. Larios has made mistakes but feels that a more thorough investigation needs to be completed by the Council before a decision is rendered. In his opinion, there are only 2 of 9 reasons that might be considered as justifiable reasons to refuse the license, that being 1) the applicant was convicted of a felony, and 2) the applicant provided false or misleading information. In regard to the first reason (convicted of a felony), Attorney O'Neill stated that Mr. Larios has only been charged with a felony with a hearing pending, and, in his discussions with the victim, he feels that she does not want the authorities in Washington to pursue the charges. He stated that Mr. Larios has had no drug or alcohol related charges. When he needs assistance from the Police Department, he does call them to his place of business but feels that the Police delay their response to his business and he gets frustrated with the Department. In regards to the second reason (providing material false and misleading information), he stated that Mr. Larios does not have a clear understanding of the English language. His original application was completed in 1992 at which time he was assisted by Attorney JoAnn Beck. It was noted that he has only a 3rd grade education and, in 1992, he did not read English and was illiterate at the time of Page 2 - Council Meeting Minutes, June 24, 1996 "... "II I TAPE READING 1516 1925 2025 I COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES June 24, 1996 completing his application. In 1996, he had a better understanding of English and he completed the application himself and does not feel that he left out the information in the original application intentionally. He stated that it is well-known that Mr. Larios runs a clean business and is a very hard worker but a communication problem does exist between himself and the Police Department. He also indicated that it is his understanding that the Police Department tends to treat Hispanic businesses and/or individuals differently from caucasians. He urged the Council to recommend to OLCC the approval of the package store license. Attorney JoAnn Beck stated that she has represented Mr. Larios in his business practice and feels that his lack of understanding of English was the main contributing factor in not fully completing the 1992 license application. She had assisted him in completing the 1992 application and feels that he was not trying to be misleading when he did not fully complete some of the questions. He has been a US citizen since 1991 and has worked regularly for many years in not only the bakery business but in any other work necessary to insure the welfare of his family. In more recent years, he has gained a greater knowledge of the English language and he strives to complete more of the forms himself. He sets specific goals and is always in a hurry to get there without taking the time to make sure the information is accurate. She stated that she had represented him on the Recklessing Endangering charge and now wishes that he would have gone to trial on the charge rather than pleading guilty since he didn't want to take the time to go to court. In her opinion, his businesses are an asset to the community and the license should be approved. Salvador Larios, applicant, stated that he feels he has a problem with the Police Chief and briefly reviewed his version of the office visit with the Chief in June 1995. In his opinion, the Police is purposely not responding to his calls for service in a timely manner and he feels that the Chief is upset with him since he had contacted an OLCC investigator directly regarding an incident rather than contacting him. Gordon Stalhberg, former owner of Tia Maria in Gervais, stated that Mr. Larios had worked for him from 1987 to 1991 and he had a good relationship with him. Mr. Larios eventually purchased the business from him. While an employee, Mr. Larios was a very ambitious and responsible individual. He has loaned him money in the past on a handshake and he has always repaid on time. He highly recommended approval of the liquor license application.

He is a hard worker and is very concerned for his businesses. Additionally, he is conscientious and responsible and provides not only wages but housing for his employees. Helmet Bubetz, 185 S. Settlemier, stated that he has enjoyed doing business with Mr. Larios over the last 4 years and feels that he is an asset to the community. Salvador Mensola stated that he has known Mr. Larios for about one year and, during that time, Mr. Larios has become a role model to him. Mr. Larios is a good businessman who encourages his employees to work with him rather than for him and he provides employment for a lot of people. He also urged the Council to recommend approval of the liquor license application. Chief Wright stated that he does not feel that he needs to defend the Police Department. An allegation of a problem has been made but feels that the record stands on its own. Since 1988, 30% of the officers are bi-lingual and the Department strives to more sensitive to the situation not only from the direction of the Council and community but their own professional desire to be responsive to the needs of the citizens. He does not believe there is a communication problem with the Hispanic community but there may be a communication problem between Mr. Larios and the Police Department. He also reiterated his version of the day Mr. Larios visited his office in June 1995. He reminded the Council and the applicant that the City, by law, has concurrent jurisdiction with OLCC over liquor laws in Oregon. Brief discussion was held regarding Oregon Administrative Rule language on the issue of providing a compliance plan so that a favorable recommendation could be forwarded to OLCC. Councilor Figley suggested that a recommendation to approve the license be given if a compliance plan was agreed to that would address the communication problem. It was also suggested that a Councilor be present during the discussion of a compliance plan with the applicant. Mayor Kirksey expressed her concern in that a communication problem exists but she did not hear of the applicant's willingness to communicate with the Police Department to improve the relationship between the two parties. Chief Wright stated that he could only report according to the incidents occurred the actions of the Police Department and report those actions by victims, witnesses, and/or suspects.

Mayor Kirksey declared the public hearing closed at 8:28 p.m.. Councilor Jennings did not dispute Mr. Larios's honesty but is concerned with the communication problem between him and the Police Department. In his opinion, he feels that the barrier can be overcomed and does not want this situation to become a racial issue. Councilor Pugh expressed his agreement with a compliance plan that would address the issue of communications. Councilor Figley stated that Mr. Larios's downtown businesses are assets to the community and feels that the Hwy. 99E business will also do well in the community. She stated that she is in favor of the application with a compliance plan on the communication issue which would be monitored by the Council. Councilors Hagenauer and Chadwick expressed comments similar to those expressed by the other Councilors. Mayor Kirksey stated that she feels that there has been no consistency in the statements made by Mr. Larios and, if a license is granted, the Council needs to be sure that there is a compliance plan in place in which Mr. Larios must comply with. Additionally, she suggested that the compliance plan be reviewed after 6 months.

I TAPE READING 0232 0454 1, COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES June 24, 1996 COUNCIL BILL 1719 - RESOLUTION APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH WAREMART FOODS. INC. Council Bill 1719 was introduced by Councilor Hagenauer. Recorder Tennant read the bill by title only since there were no objections from the Council. Public Works Director Tiwari outlined the four (4) major areas of concern which are being addressed within the agreement: (1) cost share of road improvements; (2) 1-5 traffic light interconnect facilities for west side and future east side; (3) removal of dedication of land along western boundary of subject property; and (4) Waremart's purchase of City's contractual right to dedication of one acre well site on the property. He stated that the State has tentatively agreed to the participation of the road funding through the Economic Development Fund since the proposed improvements will serve as part of the overall Transportation Plan. It was noted that Highway 219 will be widened between Woodland Ave. and 1-5. A public hearing will be held at the next meeting as required to meet the application process in securing Economic Development funds. Director Tiwari stated that Waremart will be paying all of their System Development Charges and Traffic Impact Fees but, as with any other developer, they can have an independent study done on the charges to their specific development and submit those to the City for review and, if applicable, Council determination on the fees to be levied. In his opinion, the agreement is fair and he recommended Council approval of the agreement. On roll call vote, Council Bill 1719 passed unanimously. Mayor Kirksey declared the bill duly passed. JENNINGS/FIGLEY... suspend the rules and introductions be made of Waremart representatives who are present at this meeting. The motion passed unanimously. Representatives of Waremart who participated in the negotiations for the agreement were Attorney Wally Lien, Paul Simmons (Vice-President for Commercial Development), and Ken Gregson (Executive Vice-President) . Ken Gregson expressed his appreciation to the City for their support of their development and are happy to be able to come to Woodburn. Additionally, City staff were tough negotiators but fair and they feel that the City and community will also benefit by their business venture. Paul Simmons stated that Waremart is looking forward to getting construction underway and developing a close relationship with the community. Over the next five years, they anticipate an increase in their employment by approximately 300. Administrator Childs also informed the Council that another key player in this transaction is Don Davidson who owned the property in which Waremart has agreed to purchase.

Council Bill 1720 was introduced by Councilor Hagenauer. The first reading of the bill was read by Recorder Tennant in full and the second reading was read by title only. Councilor Pugh reiterated his objection to requiring the victims to pay for the clean-up of graffiti. Councilor Figley expressed her opinion that 95% of the property owners do take care of graffiti removal immediately and this proposed ordinance would require those property owners who do not clean-up the graffiti to do so within a specified period of time. Councilor Jennings reminded the public that free paint is available to property owners at the Fire Department and a group of individuals has also offered their assistance to do the repainting in those cases where help is necessary to get the job done. Mayor Kirksey stated that the penalty provision in the ordinance will insure that all property owners are held to the same standard in removing graffiti. The roll call vote was 4-1 with Councilor Pugh voting nay. This bill will be brought back before the Council on July 8, 1996 since it did not receive unanimous approval on the first date it was introduced. Administrator Childs stated that graffiti vandalism occurred at one of the City's water well sites over the weekend and the staff will be removing the graffiti immediately. Councilor Pugh stated that he would like to see an ordinance passed that would prohibit stores from selling spray paint to individuals under the age of 18. He cited the program in place at GWI Hardware as a model to what other businesses could do within the City. PUGH/FIGLEY... staff look into the writing of an ordinance that would prohibit the selling of aerosol paint to anyone under the age of 18. As part of the discussion on this issue, Attorney Shields stated that a legal evaluation would be necessary since voluntary compliance is very different from mandatory compliance. After some further discussion on the issue, the motion and second were withdrawn. PUGH/FIGLEy.... City Attorney look into the possibility of enacting that type of ordinance within the City. The motion passed unanimously. Page 7 - Council Meeting Minutes, June 24, 1996 - . ,_ ,_,.,,__._,_...._.__~~._._ _._..____.___M~__.
