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

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.

COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
June 24, 1996
Marie Stalhberg stated that Mr. Larios originally came to work
for them as a baker. 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.

Of the total incidents reported, only three are of concern and
those incidents tend to show a pattern of behavior.
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.
JENNINGS/FIGLEY... request for transfer of package license
Salvador's Bakery #3 be approved providing there is a
compliance plan.
Discussion was held regarding the motion and the unspecified
time frame in which a compliance plan can be formulated and
agreed upon.

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.

JENNINGS/HAGENAUER... a break be taken at this time. The
motion passed unanimously.
The Council took a recess from 8:53 pm to 9:02 pm.
COUNCIL BILL 1720 - ORDINANCE RELATING TO GRAFFITI NUISANCE
PROPERTY.
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.
