~MBER OF COMMERCE REPORT,,
Patrick Vance, representing the Chamber Board, updated the
Council on the following events:
(1) Tulip Festival was a positive promotional event for the
City since the festival received regional publicity in the
print media and local television, and for the Wooden Shoe Bulb
Company who has estimated the number of visitors at 150,000
which is up substantially from 80,000 last year;
(2) The survey forms relating to the need for additional up-
scale restaurant facilities must be returned by Friday;
(3) The Greeter's Program will be held on Wednesday, May
15th, 8:00 am, at the office of Brown Insurance Agency; and

WOODBURNDOWNTOWN_A~_SOCIATION REPORT.
Susan King, representing the Downtown Association, presented
the Council with letters from members of their group and local
businesses encouraging the Council to appoint a Task Force to
evaluate the desires of the community to build a new Community
Service/Performing Arts Center in the downtown area.
Mayor Kirksey read a letter from Ronald Lilienthal, Board
President of the Senior Estates Golf & Country Club, urging
re-affirmation of sewer rate Ordinances 2157 and 2164 or, if a
change is made, to a volume rate schedule rather than a flat
rate schedule. The Board also supports the idea of a subsidy
program to assist customers who are in need of financial
assistance provided that the assistance comes from funds other
than the utility service fees.
Preston Tack, 2197 Camilla Way, informed the Council that the
Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies will be holding
a conference in Denver Colorado from July 16th through 19th
which will include topics on privatization of public works
services. He realized that the City is not a member of AMSA
but he does know that Portland, Salem, and Eugene are members.
If the Council is interested in receiving more information on
this upcoming conference, he offered his assistance in making
the necessary contacts.

PD~LIC HEARING -- 1996-97 CITY BUDGET.
Mayor Kirksey declared the public hearing open at 7:13 p.m.
for the purpose of obtaining public input on the proposed
budget which includes State Revenue Sharing funds.
Administrator Childs presented the staff report on the
proposed budget which was adopted by the Budget Committee.
The Financial Summary and Notice of Hearing had been published
in the Woodburn Independent on April 24th with the second
notice of hearing published in the Independent on May 1st.
The' total proposed budget is $23,123,405 and the total
property tax levy authorized by the Budget Committee is
$3,600,035. Of the total taxes to be levied, the Bonded Debt
levy for the Aquatic Center will be $189,269 while the balance
of the taxes will be used to support the General Fund, Transit
Fund, Library Fund, and Parks & Recreation Fund. The
estimated loss of property taxes due to compression under the
Ballot Measure 5 limitation is 12.5%. He highlighted
components of the budget such as continuation of the Police
"COPS" and "COPS FAST" grant, the two-year Housing
Rehabilitation program, year-round aquatic center, and senior
service programs; addition of several personnel positions to
meet the growing service demands; initial funding for future
facilities expansion; initial funding for evaluation of the
City's telephone system; funding for full development of the
City Hall basement; funding for several projects established
by the Council; funding for expanded hours of Dial-a-Ride
paratransit service; and funding for evaluation of the City's
computer network system.
Patrick Vance, Chamber Board, commended the City in their
preparation of the budget, document, however, the Chamber would
like the Council to consider a change to the current
distribution of hotel/motel tax funds. A proposal had been
submitted to the Budget Committee during the later part of the
hearings process but due to the lateness in receiving the
written request, no change was made in the amount allocated
for distribution to the Chamber. He stated that the revenues
received from hotel/motel taxes are used to promote the
livability and workability of our community and to offset
printing costs for brochures. Currently, the Chamber receives
$4,000 annually under the provisions of the ordinance. Of the
total funds collected last year, the City received
approximately $61,000, the Chamber received $4,000, and the
hotel/motel operators received $6,000 for their work in
collecting the tax. The Chamber is requesting that they
receive a proportional share of the increase in taxes
collected rather than the current maximum amount desighatedby
the ordinance. This request is being made in light of the
increase in funds being collected now that there are more
hotel/motel units located, or being built, in Woodburn. He

also provided data on the distribution of hotel/motel tax
monies by other cities in Oregon which range from all of the
monies going to the local area Chamber to a smaller percentage
to the Chamber and the balance to the City.
Administrator Childs stated that he is willing to look into
this issue, however, he reminded the Council that in order to
change the distribution of funds would require a change in the
current ordinance.
Mayor Kirksey declared the public hearing closed at 7:00 p.m..
During a brief discussion on the Chamber,s request for re-
evaluation of the hotel/motel tax funds, it was the consensus
of the Council to hold a workshop with the Chamber to receive
a more detailed presentation of their proposal along with
their plans on how the money will be used by the Chamber.
The Administrator was requested to work with the Chamber in
setting a date for the workshop.
JENNINGS/FIGLEY... direct staff to draft an ordinance with the
applicable budget figures to be presented to the Council. The
motion passed unanimously.

Councilor Hagenauer stated that he felt the current rate
structure should be kept status quo.
Councilor Sifuentez expressed her opinion that she wanted a
change but, realistically, the Council should not change the
rate structure since we will still need to pay for the
facility at some point in time. She feels that the Committee
did an excellent job in selecting which rate structure would
be in the best interest of the community and, at this point,
the City should not regress.
Councilor Chadwick stated that the seniors who have contacted
her on this subject do not want to help pay for the new
facility anymore than they already do and are not willing to
go back to a flat rate structure that would cost them a higher
monthly fee.
Councilor Pugh stated that he has constituents in both the
West woodburn area and Senior Estates. He will be holding a
series of meetings with these individuals to receive their
input on this subject within the next 60 days. Since he would
like to have the input of these people before a final decision
is made,
2529 PUGH/SIFUENTEZ .... accept this year's program (rates) as it is
and we defer for 60 days oUr decision what we do for next
year.
Councilor Figley stated that she would be willing to support
the motion provided that it had a 6 month wait rather than 60
days. In her opinion, the Committee worked very hard on this
project and she is thankful for their efforts in arriving at a
rate structure that overall seems to be fair to the
residential customers. If the 6-month period would take us to
far into the next rate calculation-period, she would agree to
revisiting this issue at the first meeting in September.
Councilor Jennings expressed his opinion that the Committee
worked hard to develop a fair proposal and he is not willing
to make any changes to the existing rate structure.
PUGH/SIFUENTEZ .... amend the motion to revisit this issue at
the first meeting in September.
Councilor Pugh stated that the intent of his motion is to give
the City some time in which they can look at potential
modifications to the rate structure to see if it can be made
better.
Mayor Kirksey stated that she had requested the evaluation of
rates which would change the minimum 500 cuft to 400 cuft
per month and reduce the rate per 100 cuft above the minimum
from $3.59 to $2.70. Under this method of calculation,'
.customers would pay more for sewer if they use less than 800
Cuft of water each month. Those using 2,000 cuft of water
would pay $10.65 less each month under the alternative

OLCC granted her request to remove the restrictions from her
RMB license in June 1995, she never did quit using the
compliance plan agreed to between her and the City. She
reviewed the measures she has taken at her establishment over
the last few months to closely monitor the activities of her
patrons. Additionally, she has drastically curtailed her real
estate business in order to spend at least 30 hours per week,
most often substantially more hours each week, at The Raven
Inn. She reiterated her desire continue her operations at the
tavern and willingness to enter into a comprehensive
compliance plan with the City.
Councilor Jennings stated that he was willing to reconsider
the Council's previous action, however, he did not vote on the
prevailing side so he is unable to make the motion to
reconsider. Councilor Figley expressed her concern regarding
the business's ability to control the situation once the
compliance plan was lifted.
Ms. Wiltsey stated that she thought she had no problems at the
business until such time as the undercover operations began
last summer. She realizes now that she was not spending
enough time at the business.
Councilor Sifuentez objected to an earlier statement made by
Ms. Wiltsey in that Woodburn is a problem town.
Ms. Wiltsey stated that she meant that the taverns are a
problem in Woodburn. She also commented on an excerpt from
one of the reports that points out that OLCC had made 13
visits to her establishment and no problems were found.
.Additionally, OLCC Investigator Mike Schnoebelen has made a
written recommendation to issue the business a Warning and
renew the annual license with license restrictions as an
option. She reiterated her desire to work with the City and
requested the Council to reconsider their previous action to
recommend denial of the license to OLCC.
Following Ms. Wiltsey's presentation, the Councilors made no
motion to reconsider their previous action.

2015 BID AWARD -- LEGION PARK PICNIC PAVILION RECONSTRUCTION BID.
Bids for the reconstruction of the picnic shelter which was
damaged in the December 1995 windstorm were received from the
following contractors: CMJ Construction (Lake Oswego),
$21,435.00; and Woodburn Construction (Woodburn), $29,725.00.
Staff recommended awarding the contract to the iow bidder, CMJ
Construction, who will be mandated to have the project
substantially completed by June 21, 1996.
JENNINGS/SIFUENTEZ .... award the bid to CMJ Construction in
the amount of $21,435.00.
Councilor Pugh questioned if the City could give preference to
a local bidder since, in his opinion, the City should keep as
much business as possible locally.
It was noted that the law does require the acceptance of iow
bids provided that the specifications are met.
On roll call vote, the motion passed 5-1 with Councilor Pugh
voting nay.
2175 CLAIMS FOR TwR MONTH OF APRIL 1996.
SIFUENTEZ/PUGH .... approve voucher checks #31228 - #31518

2194 Deanna Jolly, owner of Artic Circle, questioned the progress
of the transient business issue.
Mayor Kirksey stated that the Committee has now given the
staff instructions on how to proceed and this issue will be
addressed at the first Council meeting in June.
2246 Councilor Jennings suggested that the City consider sending an
individual back to Denver CO to attend the 3-day conference on
privatization of public works activities. In his opinion, the
City needs to keep abreast of these issues since privatization
practices are moving towards the west coast. Staff will
obtain the information from Mr. Tack and look into the matter.

STAFF REPORTS.
(A) Wastewater Service Charge and Related Issues ---
Mayor Kirksey stated she had asked the Public Works Director
to prepare the set of calculations included in the packet and,
after considering those numbers and talking to individuals
within the community, they are not interested in making a
change unless it is strictly to volume rate charge which will
impose additional monthly fees to customers with high usage.
In addition, she had received a letter from Barbara Lucas
reiterating her viewpoint on maintaining the fair share
concept.

schedule. In summary, she concluded that the rate structure
recommended by the Committee is the fairest method especially
since customers can, to some degree, control the amount of
water used and how much they will ultimately pay for this
service.
For the Council's clarification, Administrator Childs stated
that the new rate will go into effect next spring and the
Council could review this issue anytime up till March 1997.
The wastewater rate now being paid by each customer will
remain the same for a 12-month period after which a new rate
is applied based on the 3-month recalculation period during
the winter months. He also reminded the Council that the City
needs to continue moving forward on the Bond Sale and further
consideration of our Facilities Plan by DEQ to the extent that
both items need funding stability.
Following some further discussion on this issue and
parliamentary procedure, Mayor Kirksey called for a roll call
vote on the amendment. The vote was 3-3 with Councilors
Hagenauer, Figley, and Jennings voting nay. Mayor Kirksey
voted nay to break the tie.
She then called for a roll call vote on the first motion. The
vote was 3-3 with Councilors Hagenauer, Figley, and Jennings
voting nay. Mayor Kirksey voted nay to break the tie.
Councilor Chadwick questioned the status of the recalculation
period in those instances where customers were gone during the
winter months and are now being charged a sewer rate
equivalent to the 700 cuft average even though there monthly
average is less than the'minimum.
Public Works Director Tiwari stated that the 3-month average
can be developed during the winter months or any subsequent
period, however, staff will need to bring back an ordinance to
the Council to allow the calculation period for subsequent
periods as discussed in the prior workshop.
(B) Banking Services Finance Director Gillespie informed
the Council that a Request for Proposal has been advertised
with proposals to be submltted by May 2?th. The City has
utilized the service of Bank of America since 1990 and the RFP
will give the City an opportunity to reevaluate our banking
service needs.
(C) Transit Route Modification --- Effective July 1, 1996,
the route will be slightly modified to provide adequate time
for loading/unloading passengers and keep it on a consistent
.time schedule.

(D) Proposed Reduction in $10 Non-School Property Tax Cap ---
In a memo from Administrator Childs, he briefly outlined a
proposed change in the property tax structure being considered
by the State Senate Revenue and Tax Policy Committee which
would limit the reduce the $10 per $1,000 limit to $9 and
increase the school limit from $5 to $6 per $1,000. The
potential impact to the City is a loss of $327,425 in addition
to the estimated $135,772 loss from the current $10 per $1,000
limitation.
JENNINGS/FIGLEY .... would like to have the City reply to the
appropriate agency stating our negative support for such a
proposal.
The motion passed unanimously.

Shields prepared the memorandum opinion in order to give the
Council some guidelines on meeting notice requirements and
executive session subjects.

Councilor Pugh agreed with Councilor Sifuentez's request and
he mentioned that the new Library parking lot does provide a
more secure area due to the lighting.
Councilor Figley feels that the Council needs to thoroughly

Staff read into the record a list of Holiday Inn Express Exhibits:
Exhibit I - Correspondence from Donald McClain, Attorney, on behalf of
Robert and Shirley Jansen, property owners of the Holiday
Inn Express, April 24, 1996.
Staff read into the record a list of Wendy's exhibits:
Exhibit I - Correspondence submitted by Bill Kloose, Attorney,
on behalf of Mardeen Corporation, owner and operator of
Wendy's Restaurant located on Hwy 214.
Staff gave a historic overview of the 8pplication for the benefit of the
Commission members who ware not members of the Commission in 1992
when the application first came before the Commission.
The state and. city agreed to make this a smoother flowing highway with the
amount of traffic the Holiday Inn would generate, some of the access points
along Highway 214 needed to be closed and a new safe access made. If this
could not be done, then a median strip down the middle of Highway 214 may
be Installed. The median strip was felt by the Commercial businesses in the
area to be unfavorable. Staff started warldng with different property owners
to come up with a solution to this problem. Fairway Plaza was contacted and
it was negotiated that Fairway would donate right of way in the-area of
Highway 214 so a control light could be Installed. Wendy's was contacted,
and city staff recommended to close one of their driveways on Hwy 214 due
to the fact it was too close to the intersection of Hwy 214 and the Evergreen
Extension. There would be a one way entry into this area which belongs to the
Holiday Inn Express and is utilized by Wendy's, Denny's and J's restaurants.
The driveway at J's, closest to the one way entry, needed to be closed. A new
access would be built onto the One way entry for egress from J's restaurant
onto the one way entry and the Evergreen extension. Staff was looking at four
property owners to participate in this program to make this traffic situation
work. Unfortunately, one of those agreements was not met. Trm Planning
Commission needs to look at the facts and listen to the various participants.
The City Attorney, Bob Shields, would also be giving the Commission
information, Hopefullyw the Commission will be able to come to a decision in
the near future.
Staff marked on the overhead site plan, Staff Exhibit 3, each property owner
and their access points. They ere listed below:
Public access/Evergreen Road
Wendy's access
J's Restaurant access which was closed

D. J's Restaurant new access
E. Holiday Inn Express - Evergreen extension access
Commissioner Will asked staff 1) if the Holiday Inn Express could have been
built without J's or Wendy's? 2) Did Holiday Inn pay for all of Evergreen
Extension?
Staff answered, Holiday Inn Exlxess paid a substantial amount for the
Improvements, Fairway Plaza donated the right of way. He stated he did not
know the exact breakdown. There were other participants in this also: The
reason Wendy's and J's were Included in this proposal was the fact the State
wanted to see driveways closed. Staff stated in the future the State may still
want to put in the median strip.
Commissioner Atklnson asked if the proposed north access for Wendy's wes
ever located on the plot plan?
Staff answered yes, but not specifically. Some of the suggestions were too
close to the intersection or corner for safety.
Commissioner Henkes asked if the Holiday Inn was the sole owner of the
access from Highway 214 and the northern access, north of Wendy's? She
also asked who was .responsible for the maintenance of these.
Staff answered yes, Holiday Inn Express is responsible for the. improvements
from the northeast romar of J's and the northwest comer of Wendy's up to
their facility.
City Attorney Shields asked staff, for the record, if he was talking about the
driveway labeled, Holiday Inn Express Et Al?
Staff answered yes.
Commissioner Palmer asked staff if to their knowledge had Wendy's closed the
d~veway marked Exhibit "B"?
Staff answered, to his knowledge, the driveway had not been closed.
Bob Shields, City Attorney, presented Staff Exhibit 6 - a Memorandum of
Opinion 96'01, dated 4/25/96. W'~h the CO...n~. io.n's.~n_ h_e..r_e~_d~in~t,°,
the record. Access Condition SPR 92-12. His legal opln~n was mqutmL=u u¥
the Planning Commission, concerning the ~e_tter from Sill Kloos, Attorney f_o.r
Mardeen Corporation who operates Wendy s Restaurant on I~ghway 214. He
gave a short history of the proceedings. No access agreement between
- ,involved parties had been reached. The 1992 Planning Comnd~ion decision
pCJ~M~25~6
SGd~w
was appealed to LUBA (Land Use Board of Appeals). August 17,1995 Planning
Commission voted to withdraw for reconsideration it's August 12, 1993 action
from LUBA. October 10, 1995 was the date set for the public hearing, it was
continued urm3 January 11, 1996, then February 22, 1996, then March 28,
1996 in hopes that the Involved parties could voluntarily settle this dispute.
Unfortunately, the voluntary settlement did not materialize and so the hearing
was continued until April 25, 1996 so a legal opinion could be prepared..1)
State Highway access,... {a) eliminate 1 of the 2 driveway access points along
Highway 214 to the J's Restaurant, the access closest to the Holiday Inn
Express driveway access. In turn the Holiday Inn Express will allow J's access
off of their driveway. (b) eliminate I of the 2 access points on Highway 214
to Wendy's Rastaumnt. The driveway access closest to Fairway Plaza. An
alternative access would be accommodated along the Evergreen Road
extension, along the westerly portion of the Fairway Plaza property. (c} the
third action would require dedication of street improvement of Evergreen Road
to a point that access to the Holiday Inn Express could be reaF~ed. (d) allow
for the driveway access between J's and Wendy's restaurants to be entrance
only .... (e) curb cuts for Wendy's and J's should be placed on the northerly
portions of the properties. (4) Legal opinion - evaluation of Wendy's
(Mardeen's) legal position on the access condition. In representing to the
Commisslon that.it has a vested right to the completion of the nmlhem access
driveway onto the Evergreen Road extension. Wendy's, (Mardean's} is
attempting to apply a legal concept that does not fit the facts of the case.
Clackarnas County vs. Holmes ... vested rights in Oregon. In that case Holmes
bought property, which was unzonad and nozone contemplated. Holmes spent
$33,000.00...-zone changed ....Cisckamas County-sued to 'stop Holmes ....
By way of contrast, Wendy's {Mardeen) not the applicant in this case, but as
a third partythat hopes to benefit from but not pay for a northern access onto
Evergreen Road extension. Wendy's (Mardeen's) attorney's letter to the
Planning Commission provides= as follows: "... changing access conditions
extreme..We relied on these conditions and allowed access to the west to be
diminished. After reduction of access on the west and before derwery of the
promised access to the north. Our right to their full Implementation has vested.
... vested right to have the access to the north completed .... without
compensating Mardeen for loses ... due to crippled access ....' The city
attorney stated Mardeen had not expended any money towards this proposed
development- As a-legal matter, the State of Oregon has control over all
access to If;hway 214. The Planning Commission can only make a
recommendation to the State. Other than spending a substantial amount of
money to litigate this dispute, Wendy's (Mardeen) has not demonstrated it has
spent any money. The facts in this case are in far contrast to tltose .outlined
above in the Cisckamas Co. vs. Holmes case. Wendy's (Mardean) has not
An ~ ueed t~ ~ew a~t inlmt~l ~ of quoted material-
PClVI~CM~25.96
SG:bw

expended any money but still claims it has a vested right. In order to claim a
vested right it requires a monetary commitment. Mardeen wants delivery of
access to the north, but not pay Holiday Inn Express any money, wants to use
the north access but not close the access on to Highway 214. (5) If the
Planning Commission requires Holiday Inn Express to provide a northern
driveway to Wendy's (Mardeen) without compensation would subject itself to
a c'~il liability for an unconstitutional taking of property. He referred to Nolan
vs. California Coastal Commission and Dolan vs. City of Tigard. 'The city
cannot meet both the Nolan and Doian test .... It is anticipated that these legal
test will be hard if not Impossible to meet .... ' He referred to Schooner vs.
Kiarnath County case... The City Attomey's recommen~.ation to the Planning_
Commission was to go ahead and conduct the public heanng, consider the staff
report, and all testimony presented by staff and private parties wishing to
testify and if they so wished make a motion to direct staff to prepare an order
to not enforce the remainder of this condition of approval.
Chairperson Bjelland asked for applicant.to speak.
Bill Kioos, attorney for Wendy's/Mardeen, asked for a point of order. He stated
it might be just an oversite, but the Planning Commission members need to
voice if they have had any exparte contacts.
Chairperson Bjelisnd asked if any of the Commission members had any exparte
contacts o
All of the Commission members stated they had viewed the property only. No
contact had been made with any Individuals.
Mr. Klcos stated he was confused es to what is in the record. What really was
the application before the Commission this evening? He stated he would ask
for the record to remain open so he could supplerrmnt it. He needs to .know
what is in the record. He asked if his assumption of the original application and
all the supporting material is already considered to be pert of the record?
St~ff answered they have additional information not submitted into the record,
I.e. correspondence between the parties, previous reports staff was developing
w~e coming to a consensus with the State on road configuration, etc. Staff
tried to focus on this particular Issue and felt comfortable with the material
submitted into the record as staff exhibits would give the Commission a good
overview es to what was needed.
Mr. Kioos stated ha wished to compile all correspondence,' etc in order and
have it put into the record. He asked what is the application actually before the
Planning Commission, who asked the Commission to do it, where is their
· application? He did not know of an actual application filed asking the
SG:bw
6
Commission to do anything.
Bob Shields, City Attorney, stated there is not an application in a conventional
sense in terms of filing an application. The applicant in the original proceeding
Is here. The Commission has the authority to look at this access condition on
this approval. The CommL~sion withdrew their decision from LUBA.
Mr. Kloos stated he wished to sketch his clients position for the Commission.
The hearing notice which states Interpretation/Potential Enforcement of Access
Conditions, he stated they were in agreement the access condition issue is
currently part of the permit. He asked the Commission what they were going
to do about it?
Mr. Shields stated he felt .the Commission has a land use question before it
Involving intarpratation of an access condition, the city is not conceding. Mr.
Kloos is free to make his argument. The city is not making an admission as to
that fact.
Mr. Kloos stated the City took a voluntary remand from LUBA, by taking this
voluntary remand what ever you though you did is a nullity.- Our base line that
we are starting with is the original 1992 Site Plan approval. The. scope of the
notice is the Interpretation/Potential Enforcement of Access Condition. He
stated this is much different than twing to make the condition go away. If the
city is thinking about making the condition go away, stripping it from the
permit, Is a different matter. This is not what wes stated in the notice.
Mr. Shields, stated the Issue before the Commission Involves the Commission's
Inherent autho~ to look at this access condition, notice it states
Interpretstion/PotentisI.Enforcement. It would be e land use decision.
Don McClain, attorney, representing Mr. & Mm. Jensen, owners of the Holiday
Inn Express. His address is 333 SW Taylor, Portland. He explained the
existing driveway is owned by Holiday Inn/Jensen. There is a 65 foot
easement for Wendy's egress/ingress. There is no easement on to the
Evergreen extension for Wendy's. All the expenses were put into the pot and
paid by all adjacent property owners but Wendy's. Wendy's was offered the
same proportion as the smaller three participants. Wendy's declined to
participate asking for some conditions which would have given them a
preferential position over the other participants, so no agreement was ever
reached. The proposal offered to Wendy's at that time, is still available, but
Wendy's still declined to participate. The condition cannot be met without an
agreement. Parties invited to share a joint undertaking and one declined. This
has not be resolvable. Now the party has attempted to raise issues with this
Commission that are unjustified in law in an attempt to extract property at no
cost or to try to impose upon the Planning Commission and the City, a threat,
PCM~eCM4-25.96

3B
if they do not get what they want, there will be penalties. He felt this
approach could be put aside.and resolve this matter on the basis, if Mardeen
hasn't come up with a new theory, then the existing access conditions
imposed, be withdrawn and approving the property as built. All the conditions
which could be met have been met. He had further discussion regarding the
vested right Issue and whether Wendy's/Mardean expected to get this driveway
bun for flee. He stated to put in a driveway at this time would be much more
costly at this time. This could have been accommodated at the time when the
road was built.
Commissioner Will asked Mr. McClain if everyone paid their fair share except
Wendy's?
Mr. McClein answered Wendy's never signed agreement. When Wendy's did
no~ pay their falr share, some of the other parties shares went up.
Mr. Kloos presented a letter as Wendy's. Exhibit 2, dated April 25, 1996.
Mr. Kloos stated the had e procedural objection regarding the notice of
Interpretation/Potential Enforcomant did not tell his client the city is going to
make the decision go away. He stated attorneys do not present evidence, they
present legal facts. Clients need to be present. He sta~ a new notice and
he, ring would have to be held if this is what the city plans to do.
Bob Shields, City Attorney, counseled the Commission after hearing Mr.
Kloose's testimony maybe the matter should be continued so there is adequate
opportunity to produce any further evidence, documantaw or in person.
Mr. Kloos second point of order was if the Planning Commission had the
authority to yank the condition from the permit. Site review has been applied
for and approved and there is no provision in the code which deals with the
review approval that gives the Planning Commission any authority to on its own
modon to go in and change a site review that is outstanding. If you are.
yanking a condition you are really changing the permit. He referred back to his
Mamh 18, 1996 letter, first footnote of this letter, Section 11.030 (b) of the
zoning code says 'any Conditions attached to the approval of the site plan shall
be conditions on the Issuance of the building permit. A violation of the
conditions shall be considered a violation of this ordinance.' He stated an
application is needed. He was concerned about the comments made about
Wendy's/Mardeen wanting this access and not wanting to pay for it. He stated
in none of his correspondence is there a statement saying Wendy'slMardeen
wants the access for nothing. We have never taken that position. Admittedly
there is a disagreement as to how much should be paid. No one is asking for
flee access. He stated he heard*County Counsel say Wendy's' hasn't
performed out it's side of the bargain. The site plan conditions anticipated that
PCM~PCM4-25-96
SG:bw
8
Wendy's would close its access "B" directly to Highway 214. Wendy's
couldn't do this until they get alternate access. We are making do with what
we have until we get what we are entitled to. There wes discussion from legal
counsel and Mr. McClain that if the Commission enforces this condition you will
~e "taking" property from the applicant and it would be unconstitutional under
the Nolan and Dolan decisions. He stated first of all Wendy's is not asking for
access without payment. The question is how much? So there is no taking
without compensation. More significantly this theory is a offered by the
applicant as to why the Commission needs to change the condition. The
condition of requiring the applicant go get an agreement wes installed in 1992.
If the applicant didn't like the condition, the time to appeal this condition wes
within 21 days of the decision. The statements Wendy's is unwilling to settle,
unwilling to deal, is just not grounded in the record. He referred to a paragraph
in a letter from Mr. Jansen toMr. Goeckritz, dated January 21, 1993. This
was submitted to the. record as Wendy's Exhibit 3. 'As we both agree the
Planning Commission approved my site plan review with the condition that prior
to issuance of a permit the neighbors and I agree to changes in access we had
worked out In your office and presented to the Planning Commission. The
Planning Commission did not prescribe a form for the neighbors approval. After
the meeting I had my attorney prepare an agreement for the neighbors
signature which Indicated their willingness to do the job. That agreement has
been signed by all the neighbors and submitted to your office. Further I have
assembled ell the neighbors in your office on two separate, occasions to
reaffirm their willingness to proceed with the project." He stated he was
offering this letter to show Wendy's is not the problem. Admittedly they have
not come to an agreement yet. This is not a one sided problem. He
understands there is mitigation in circuit court between the parties. He is not
involved in circuit court. He does understand a settlement was reached which
included the city. The city rejected this settlement. The settlement issue is not
as one sided as staff and Mr. McClain make it out to be. He further discussed
the status of the decision with LUBA, the city wanting the condition to go
away, but the Plannlng.commission never voted on the condition going away.
What ever the City thought it did, is an a nullity. This is the effect of a remand
from LUBA. All that is left is the 1992 decision regarding the condition.
Apparently the agreement was never reached but the building permit was
issued anyway by the city in violation of the condition. We are in the position
of still saying where is our access? To his understanding, the scope of this
hearing is not should the condition be striped, based on the notice is them an
interpretation to be done and does the city want to say let's go enforce it right
now. He requested the opportunity for everything that has happened from the
October 1992 until now be put into the record. ·
Chairperson Bjelland was concerned about the letter stating that all of the
parties had signed an agreement. She asked if Wendy's had signed this?
SG:bw
Mr. Kloos stated he did not know, he did not have this agreement.
Staff stated they would check to see if the agreement was in the record.
Staff stated if a continuance was granted, he wished to request it be continued
into June. He recommended June 27, 1996.
Mr. Shields stated a motion would appropriate at this time if Mr. McClain ha~
no rebuttal.
Mr. McClain stated if the Commission was going to allow them to bombard
them with documents, there could certainly be a lot of documents.
Mr. Shields stated a land use decision involving this condition, public hearing
testimony will be allowed. Mr. McClain and Mr. Kioose am free to submit
testimony as long as the public hearing is open. It is very possible them will
be a number of documents.
Chairperson Bjelland asked if where Mr. Kloose had stated it was not stated
correctly on the notice regarding the Interpretation/Potential Enforcement. Is
them anything the Commission needed to do?
· Mr. Shields answered he did not agree with everything Mr. Kloose was saying.
It was his adviseto the Commission should do nothing with the notice wording.

Public Hearinp on draft Graffiti OrdinancQ
May 17, 1996
SUBJ.:
DATE:
Legal notice of this public hearing was published in the May 15, 1996 issue of
the Woodburn Indeoendent and publicly announced at the regular May 13, 1996
Council meeting.
Provided once again for your reference is a copy of the draft Graffiti Ordinance
prepared by staff as well as my May 7, 1996 memo which describes the background
and intent of the proposed ordinance.
Since this is a legislative hearing, rather than a quasi-judicial land use hearing,
there is not an 'applicant' per se. A staff report is certainly in order, followed by
public testimony either in favor or in opposition to the draft ordinance. Rather than
'rebuttal', the hearing should allow for clarification or answers to any questions prior
to the hearing being closed. Following the hearing, Council consideration of any
potential changes, based on the public testimony, is a key element in this process.
As with other public hearings, the hearing can be continued to a specific future
date if there is cause to do so.

Chris Childs, City Administrator
FROM:
Draft Graffiti Ordinance
May 7, 1996
SUBJ.:
DATE:
Attached for your review and discussion is a draft graffiti ordinance. A graffiti
ordinance was first discussed and considered by a subcommittee of the Community-
wide Gang Forum and the Issue was subsequently put on hold pending any related
enactments by the 1995 Legislature.
The 1995 Legislature passed Senate Bill 343 which created new state law
offenses of 'Unlawful Application of Graffiti' and 'Unlawful Possession of a Graffiti
Instrument'. While the new statute makes it easier to prosecute those individuals
who aooiv graffiti, it does not address the subject of graffiti cleanun.
The proposed ordinance does primarily address graffiti cleanup. Persons
responsible for applying graffiti will be prosecuted pursuant to the new state law.
Unfortunately, in most Instances, those actually responsible for the graffiti are not
apprehended. The ordinance, therefore, makes property owners responsible for
graffiti cleanup. Consistent with other city nuisance ordinances, every effort will be-
made to encourage voluntary compliance. However, the ordinance prescribes a yew
specific process for dealing with instances of non-compliance.
The administration of the ordinance has been thoroughly discussed and
evaluated by the City Administrator, Police Chief and City Attomey. The draft
ordinance has also been informal.ly circulated to the Gang Forum subcommittee,
resulting in several positive comments. It is now essential that siva. ff hear the City
Council's Input as to the policy aspects Involved with such an ordinance.
Due to the potential Impacts this ordinance may have on some property owners,
staff has discussed with Mayor Kirksey the merits of holding a public hearing to allow
Input from those it may affect. Public hearings per se am not always scheduled in
oonJunotion with eaoh and every ordinance considerad. However, the staff/mayor
consensus in this case was that a public hearing would be in order and, to expedite
the process, we have tentatively scheduled and advertised a public hearing for the
May 20, 1996 council meeting.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Contract Award
to Brown and Caldwell Engineers
May 16, 1996
IOA
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requested to award the treatment plant
engineering services contract to Brown and Caldwell by approving the attached resolution.
BACKGROUND: The Woodburn Public Works Department started to evaluate the options
and actions needed to comply with the stipulated final order of the Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) soon after it was received by the city. After completion of
the initial preliminary work, it was determined that the size of the project was so large that
help from a citizens' advisory committee was necessary to accomplish the tasks that will
satisfy DEQ and the public.
The governing body of the city appointed a Wastewater Advisory Committee in June of
1993. The committee made its recommendation to the council on July 10, 1995 and
presented to the city council a document termed 'Final Draft of Woodburn Facilities Plan'.
The components of this document included the preferred treatment alternative, collection
system and funding mechanism. After council approval, this document was forwarded to
the Department of Environmental Quality in July of 1995.
To continue the process, a Consultant Selection Task Force was appointed in September
of 1996. The Consultant Selection Task Force held eight open meetings to review the
technical and cost proposals, contacted the operators of plants designed by two major
consulting contenders and made recommendation in favor of Brown and Caldwell consulting
engineers. Brown and Caldwell has gathered an excellent team that is very knowledgeable
in the treatment process which will be used by the city. The Public Works' staff agrees
that Brown and Caldwell Engineers are well qualified to perform the services needed by the
city. In fact Brown and Caldwell has on their team Dr. James L. Barnard who is world
renowned for his technical work of nitrate removal utilizing activated sludge process.
In the last few months, the Public Works' staff has worked on the technical scope of work
and the City Attorney has worked on the legal portion of the contract document. The final
negotiations have been completed by the staff.
On an informal basis, the scope of work was also reviewed by a senior professional
engineer who administers contracts for United Sewerage Agency of Washington County.
He complimented the city's work on scope development.
All Professional engineering services needed for design and construction of the wastewater
facility are included with the exception of engineering services for the collection system and
poplar plantation that are planned to be contracted to another consulting firm.
The cost of professional engineering services to be performed by Brown and Caldwell
Engineers is estimated at $4,239,300. It should be understood that the amount in the
contract is based on the estimated time needed to perform the engineering tasks.
It is requested that the city council approve the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor
to slgn the contract document. Brown and Caldwell engineers are ready to start the pre-
design engineering work soon after the contract has been officially approved.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Woodburn Wastewater Treatment Plant will be expanded and upgraded. The specific
improvements to the plant will be developed during preparation of the predesign report as
described in Task I of Exhibit B. For the purpose of defining the scope of work to be
performed under this Agreement, the "Project" can be described as follows:
Improvements to the Mill Creek Pump Station and the force main to the ~t
plant are cun~tly underway tm_der separate contracts with other consultants.
Consultant will coordinate with the consultant(s) performing the pump station and
forcemain improvements to match treatment plant capacity with projected flows from
the Mill Creek Pump Station improvements.
Options for remodel of the existing headworks will be evaluated during predesign and
will consider rotary and mechanical bar screening equipment and vortex and "teacup"
grit removal equipment. Estimated design seavices are based on mechanical bar
screens, rehabilitation of existing vortex grit removal system, and conslruction of a
second vortex grit removal system of equal size. Modifications to the existing gdt
removal system will include modifications of the inlet, replacing the motor and paddle,
and replacing the airlift pump with a centrifugal pump. The headworks will be an
enclosed structure. The remodel will include reuse of the existing chemical addition
system (alum and caustic) and addition of new chlorine chemical feed capabilities.
Influent flow metering will be provided at the headwoflcs. A headworks ventilation
system and odor control system will be included, with the odor control system listed
as an optional bid schedule item.
The existing secondary clarifiers will be evaluated for use as primary clarifiers to
provide for comingling of Iaimary and secondary effluent. This evaluation will
consider primary ueaUnent during wet weather for all influent flow regardless of
infiltration/inflow reduction and provide redundancy for existing primary clarifiers.
The use of the existing pre-action basin will also be considered. If feasible, design
modifications to convert the existing secondary clarifiers to p~nary clarifiers will be
made and included as an optional bid schedule i~em. Improvements will be made to
the primary flow spliuer strucune to improve the split of flow between p nary
clm~ers. The drive mechanimns for the existing primary clarifiers, and the existing
secondary clarifiers if used as primary clarifiers, will be replaced. Sludge pumping
modifications to the existing secondary clarifiers will be made if they will be used as
primary clarifiers.
A new activated sludge system will be designed with flexibility to operate with
anaerobic and/or anoxic zones with mixed liquor recycle. Two basins are anlicipated
for present needs and will be designed for installation of a third basin in the future.
Biological nutrient removal will be provided to meet current requirements for

18 feet, rapid sludge withdrawal, and in-board launders with a weir cleaning system
will be designed. Two clarifiers are anticipated for present needs. Provisions for flow
splitting will be made and will consider piping to an additional clarifier in the future.
The design will include return activ~d sludge (RAS) wet-pit pumps at the location of
each secondary clarJfier, and waste activated sludge (WAS) removal capability that can
waste from the RA$ header and from the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLS$).
Options for filters will be evaluated during pr, de, gm It is anticipated that new,
conventional, deep-bed, mixed media filters with backwash and air sc, om systems will
be designed for the average dry weather flow. Chemical injection equipment will be
provided for addition of coagulation/floceulafion chemicals.
A medium pressure ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system will be installed in either an
existing or new concrete structure to disinfect the effluent. A sodium hypochlorite
system will be provided for headworks odor contwl, filamentous control of the RAS,
disinfection of plant water, ~ter bio-growth control, and poplar plantation irrigation
water.
Emergency power for thc UV disinfection systetn and for thc entire plant will be
evaluated during predesign. Thc cost-effectiveness of cogenerafion will also be
determined. Design servi~ are based on proving emergency power for UV
disinfection. Thc emergency genenUor v, ffll be installed in either an existing or new
building.
An effluent aeration suxwlxu~ will be designed to increase the dissolved oxygen
content of the effluent by entraining air. Effluent flow measurem~t will be provided
and will be used to flow pace the UV disinfection system. The outfall that is-cunvattly
used and an older ouffall will be evaluated during predesign for conveying effluent to
the Pudding River. A new outfall and diffuser will be designed if the older outfalls do
not have adequate capacity or effluent re~ou~ is required due to filtration and UV
disinfection. A gauging station for measuring Pudding Rive~ flows will be designed.
Consultant will coordinate with the consultant retained by Owner to design the poplar
plantation, and will provide information pertinent to the design improvements of the

Task ~ Geotechnicai Investigations
The following investigations will be performed to obtain the detailed geotechnical information
needed for design and construction of slructures.
Task 3.1 Field Exploration. Thc Consultant will review existing geotechnical information
and develop and implement a field exploration program. A total of ten borings with depths
ranging from 15 to 30 feet will be collected and desc~ptive logs of the borings will be
prepared. At least one boring will be performed at each major structure to be constructed.
Standard split-spoon samples will be attempted at 2.5 to 5 -foot depth intervals in the boring
and standard penetration testing will be pe~ormed to measure in-sim consi~ency and relative
density. Observation wells will be installed in two of the borings to allow the monitoring of
ground water with time. In addition to the borings, a minimum of four test pits with a
maximum depth of ten feet will be excavated with a backhoe in the FSL area to further
characterize thc subsurface and ground water conditions and to obtain bulk samples for
testing.
Task 3-~ Laboratory Testing. The purpose of the laboratory testing will be to determine
the engineering properties of the subsurface soils for fomaAation design, seismic hazards
studies, and earthwork reconunendations. Laboratory testing will include index tests, strength
tests, and consolidation ~ The index tests are made so that correlations may be made to
estimate engineering properties, such as strength and compressibility chamclr~tics, from
laboratory ~.~sts made for ~ and l~vvions project~ The index properties on ~e samples
reuieved from the borin~ and ~t pits will consist of visual classifications of each munple,
natural water content ~tions, a few A~g limits determinafion~ a few grain size
de~.zminations on representative applicable sample~ and in-place densities de~rmined from
the Shelby tube samples. In ~ddition to the index tests, one standard Proctor compaction test
series (ASTM D 698) vfdl be made to determine the moisture-dry density relationship of the
soil for earthwork evaluation, four undrained triaxial tests (one for each major u~a~ unit),
and one consolidation ~st will be made to measure strength and compressibility.
Task 3.3 Report. The geotechnical investigations report will present the formal boring logs
and a map showing the locations of previous and present explorations and projects. The
report will also munmarize the geology and anticipated subsurface soil, ground water
conditions, and the xv~mlts of the laboratory tosting. Engineering, seismic, and construction
aspects of the project will be considered in the report for the soll and groundwater conditions
encountered and will include foundation design and post construction performance of the
structures. ~eisrnic bsTa~rds such as liquet!actlon potential, :fault rupture, and shaking will be
discussed. Construction aspects such as thc stability of soils with respec~ to excavations, thc
need for shoring during construction, temporary control of ground water, and the suitability of
using excavated solids as backfill will be discussed and recotnmendations will be made.

· flECOMMENDATION: It is being recommended that the city council approve the property
owner's request to connect to city water service upon the following conditions:
Conditions
1. Pay all appropriate fees and system development charges.
2. Sign a non-remonstrance consent form to support, participate and pay fair share
cost for the following:
A. Annexation into the city, to be initiated at the city's request,
and pay all appropriate fees.
B. Local improvement district for improvements on Boones
Ferry Road to city standards.
BACKGROUND: Staff received a written request from the property owner at 2610 North
Boones Ferry Road to connect to city water service and is included as Attachment 'A".
The property is currently outside of the city boundary and is now supplied water service from
an existing private well located at and belonging to the owner of 2580 North Boones Ferry
Road. The property owners wish to disconnect from this source.
In September of 1994, by request from Tukwila Partners the subject parcel was approved
by council to be allowed to connect to city sanitary sewer.
Water service can be provided by the existing 12' diameter main located on the east side
of Boones Ferry Road adjacent to the subject property.
The property owner is willing to annex into the city; however, at this time, staff has
recommended the signing of a non-remonstrance consent form. Annexation will be initiated
at the city's request when more properties are willing to participate in the annexation
process.

of both party's to terminate this agreement. We understand
that there is a water main in from of our property which we
could be connected to with the approval of the city council.
We would also agree to being annexed into the city if re-
quested in the future. Our home is currently on the mar-
ket for Sale and we would appreciate clearing this matter
up as soon as possible. Please contact us if questions at

Transit Fixed Route Change
May 15, 1996
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the change outlined below to the Transit System fixed route to become
effective on July 1, 1996.
The change would delete a portion of the fixed route in the north section of senior
estates. This includes the portion of the route north of Vanderbeck Lane where it
Intersects with Umpqua Road and Sailal Road.
BACKGROUND:
The current fixed route transit route is time constrained. To complete the route with
normal traffic and without stopping to pickup or unload passengers takes
approximately 56 minutes leaving only 4 minutes of the one hour route for passenger
pick up and unloading. With the increase in numbers of passengers the bus tends to
run late, often as much as 10 to 15 minutes on very busy days. The objective was
to eliminate about three minutes from the route by deleting a portion of the route that
produces few passengers. This will allow the bus to run on schedule most routes and
reduce the amount of time off schedule at very busy times.
The portion of the route selected for deletion was in the north section of Senior
Estates north of Vanderbeck Lane and its intersection with Umpqua and Sallal Roads,
The attachment shows this area,
The additional day of paratransit van service would help provide service to any elderly
individual in this area who found that they could no longer utilize the system.

Meetina with O.L.C.C~ Officials
May 16, 1996
As I indicated to you at the last Council meeting, I was invited to attend a
roundtable discussion on Tuesday, May 14, 1996 with officials from the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission and various other cities. In attendance at the meeting
were three of the five OLCC commissioners, the new OLCC Administrator, Pamela
Erickson, approximately twelve representatives of various cities and assorted OLCC
staff members.
Several issues that have been of concern to the City of Woodburn were
addressed at the meeting, including:
- Lack of OLCC staffing at investigator and hearings officer level.
- Lack of support for OLCC staff from Attorney General's office.
- Degree to which OLCC recognizes local recommendations from cities.
Of some interest, it was pointed out that state statute requires that at least one
OLCC commissioner specifically represent the food and beverage industry.
Conversely, there is no similar requirement that the local government perspective be
specifically represented.
Ms. Erickson, the new OLCC Administrator, seems very positive and capable.
She has been on the job for two months and, it is my understanding, comes from a
law enforcement background, whereas the emphasis of the previous OLCC
administration was apparently directed toward marketing and maximizing revenues to
the state.
The tone of the meeting was positive and those in attendance were in
agreement that the dialogue continue. The upshot of the discussion was a consensus
that OLCC and the League of Oregon Cities form a stronger alliance, perhaps leading
to establishment of a task force to further examine the issues brought forth at this
meeting to recommend changes in administrative rules or statutes to more specifically
strengthen the cities' role in what is presumed and intended to be a 'partnership".
In a related vein, staff will continue to provide additional information to the
Council as it becomes available to assist in developing the best possible local policy
in respect to liquor licensing issues.

Notification re: CDBG Grant A~olication
May 16, 1996
Staff was recently notified by the Oregon Economic Development Department
that our application for an additional Community Development Block Grant for Housing
Rehabilitation was unsuccessful. The city had applied for a $300,000 grant to
augment a similar $300,000 housing rehab grant we ere already administering. As
is always the case, there was considerable competition for the available grant dollars,
with only fifteen of some 39 applications funded. The city can apply again in the next
round of grant applications in 1997.
This does not affect the ongoing housing rehab grant program referred to
above. It is estimated that grant funds and local dollars accumulated from previous
housing rehab programs will be available to rehabilitate approximately 37 qualified
homes. Some 33 houses have already been approved by the advisory committee and
are in various stages of the rehabilitation process. The existing grant program will
need to be completed and closed out by May 1, 1997.
