citizens who have not seen the fields yet to go out and view
the tulips before April 21st.
She also reminded the Council that the Chamber Forum will be
held on Wednesday, April 17th, at YunWah's Restaurant, 12:00
noon, with the topic of discussion being "School To Work --
Preparing Students For the Work Force".
Mayor Kirksey applauded the Chamber, Wooden Shoe Bulb Co., and
other members of the community who worked so hard to make this
festival a success.
N~n~_O ~R~3DIN~ ~OLATION OF TRANSIENT BUSINESSES.
Recorder Tennant read Administrator Childs's memo which
included informational)out his contact with the Marion County
Health Officer who assured the City that the transient taco
business, Taqueria E1Rey, has been in compliance with health
regulations and they do have an arrangement with Domino's
Pizza for storage of food items and cleaning/disinfecting of
equipment and utensils. The business has also been registered
with the City since April 1995. The memo also addressed staff
concerns on regulating businesses of this nature without
thoroughly examining any legal issues that may arise involving
those transient businesses already established within the
City. Administrator Childs suggested that a workshopbe held
to establish Council priorities in providing staff time to
address new ordinances or modifications to existing ordinances
not only this topic but several others that have been
considered over the last several months.
Mayor Kirksey stated that she was not comfortable with the
staff recommendation on this issue since she has been
concerned about transient businesses being located at one
location for long periodsof time. In her opinion, transient
businesses are not paying their fair share of costs since they
are not required to pay system development charges or traffic
impact fees even though their business generates an additional
load on the City's system.
During Council discussion on this issue, Councilor Pugh
emphasized the need to protect the rights of a business owner
and the City should regulate transient businesses that stay at
a location for an lndeZlnite period.
Councilor Jennings stated that he preferred not to change the
zoning ordinance but suggested that modifications to the
business registration ordinance be made following a thorough
reView of the situation.
Councilor Sifuentez expressed her support on the comments made
by the Mayor and Councilors and suggested that the Council
revisit the Business Registration Ordinance.
Councilor Hagenauer suggested.that transient businesses be
limited to one-week over a periodof one year.

Mayor Kirksey suggested that staff be directed to bring back
an ordinance which would make transient businesses "transient"
otherwise, the definition of transient needs to be removed.
After some further discussion on this issue,
0684 PUGH/SIFUENTEZ .... assign 3 Councilors to form a sub-committee
to review our ordinances pertaining to transient business and
bring forth a recommendation to the Council for action. The
motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Kirksey stated that she will contact the Councilors to
serve on this committee and a report will be brought back
within 45 days.
0753 Dan GIennon, 1306 Vanderbeck, stated that he is a member of
the Board of Directors for Senior Estates and, at a recent
meeting, the Board decided to form a Community Relations
Council of which he is the chairperson. This committee also
includes Preston Tack, Dorothy Senatra, and Phyllis McKean.
The committee has been delegated with the task to work with
the City, Chamber, and DowntownAssociation for the purpose of
improving our community.
Barbara Lucas, 214 E. Clackamas Cl, expressed her.concern
regarding financing of street improvements since the annual
revenues for street related purposes are approximately $1.1
million while the estimated cost for resurfacing,
construction, and reconstruction average $8 million per year.
She suggested that the Council provide the public with more
detailed information as to how these estimated costs will be
financed by the City.

with the State and cowry a refinement pl~ or study in ~ut

two years to identify a permanent solution how best to handle
the problems with the interchange area and access to the
interstate syste~ from Woodburn and areas to the east, and to
alleviatesome County concerns.
1050 John Donaldson, representing Capital Development Co., stated
that their property (173 acres) is located east of I-5 and
south of Wal-Mart. Their concern on the draft plan involves
language in Section 9.2.3 relating to the interchange system
that will be developed in connection with the ultimate
improvements to the interstate system. The language currently
identifies 4 options, one of which is a no-build option and
the other three options various forms of traversing the
freeway system south of the existing I-5 overpass. Two of the
three options impact their property since they involve
intersecting their property with road network sites with one
of the plans having a significant impact on their property.
They have been working with the City since 1991 and have
monetarily contributed towards the study. A major change to
the plan now involves another study which will not take place
for another 2 or more years. In his opinion, the language in
the draft plan restricts the alternatives whereas, by
modifying the language, the City will not be locked into the
specific alternativeS. He also questioned how the staff would
deal with Capital Development Co. if they would decide to come
in and pursue a development proposal prior to the refinement
study. Additionally, he felt that the Butteville Road
interchange proposal would be the most advantageous to the
City.
Councilor Jennings questioned the estimated cost of the
refinement study and he also stated that the alternatives were
in no specific order.
'Mr. Donaldson stated that the intent of his suggestion is to
keep all optione openuntil such ti~eas the study is
completed. Acklitionally, the staff had provided him with the
estimated study cost of $300,000.
1360 Public Works Manager Rohman stated that the alternatives will
be open when the study is conducted but the City's position
will be those alternatives as listed in the Plan. He noted
that the study is the first step in doing an interchange
and/or modification changes at the state and federal level.
Mayor Kirkseyexpressedher concern that the City has a major
landowner who is im~actedbythis Transportation Plan and she
questioned if there was some verbiage that could be included
into the Plan thatwould assure the landowners that all
options would beconsidered.
Public Works Manager Rohman stated that the Plan does contain
a conceptual drawing of the roadway plan which is essentially
Page 4 - Council Meeting Minutes, April 8, 1996

READING
the same for all three options. If a development proposal
does come in before the study is completed, the Planning
Commission and Council will work wi~h the developer for an
acceptable roadway system.
Director ~oeckritz stated that the language does not provide
for absolute alternatives and the study would allow the
addition of other alternatives as a result of the study.
Attorney Shields stated that if the Plan language is modified,
the Council should continue the public hearing until the City
has an opportunity to contact the State for their input on the
proposed language modifications.
Further discussion was held regarding the continuation or
closure of the public hearing.
Councilor Jennings expressed his opinion that the Task Force
and staff have not closed the door for other alternatives with
the language as it is currently proposed in the Plan.
SIFUENTEZ/CHADWICK...keep the public hearing open until the
next meeting at which time all of the Councilors will be
present. The motion passed 4-1 with Councilor Jennings voting
nay.
Councilor Sifuentez .requested that the staff provide
alternative language or assurance that there are no
restrictions on expanding the options if the study so
determines that an option not on the current list would be
more appropriate.
1940 An extensive discussion was held regarding hearing procedure
during which time Attorney Shields tried to explain the
difference between continuing the public hearing for
additional testimonyand closing the hearing but allowing 10
days for written comments, and parliamentary procedure to be
followed in reconsidering a motion.
Councilors Pughand Jennings expressed concern over continuing
the public hearing since implementation of the Plan has
already been delayed due to modifications to the technical
language.
2436 SIFUENTEZ/PUG~... reconsider the previous motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
Attorney Shields stated that the same motion to continue the
pUblic hearing is now on the floor and an aye vote will
continue the hearing and a nay vote will be to continue taking
public testimony at this meeting.
On roll call vote, the motion failed 0-5, therefore, the
Council continued taking testimony at this meeting.
2690 Mr, Donaldson stated that the ~ontinuation of the hearing and
delay of another month before formal adoption of the Plan does
Page 5 - Council Meeting Minutes, April 8, 1996

affect their ability to do anything with the property. That
is not a major problem at this time. In his opinion, the
whole issue can be resolved by m~king it clear in the language
that these are 3 options available but they are not the only
options that can be considered pending the future study.
During a brief discussion on the language issue, Director
Goeckritz stated that inserting the language "include, but not
limited to" would probably not be a problem with the State.
2863 JENNINGS/PUGH .... continue the hearing for 2 weeks and
instruct staff to come back with verbiage to change the 3
alternatives wording to read "...the 3 alternatives include,
but are not limited to..." or to whatever way staff needs to
word the section. On roll call vote, the motion passed
unanimously.
Mayor Kirksey stated that she would contact Keith Woolen to
inform him of the hearing extension. Mr. Woolen had expressed
an interest in submitting testimony after the time period in
which testimony was being solicited per the established
procedure and prior to the vote for reconsideration.
Councilor Jennings spoke in defense of the Mayor's action at
this meeting regarding the incident involving Mr. Woolen.

development char~es, and sign a non-remonstrance consent to
support the future annexation of their property into the City

administrator 'about going aheed with the process due to it taking a ballot

The Commission answered yes.
Commissioner Lawson stated he had a lot of questions going through his mind
and he would like to review this document and what is involved in this
annexation. There needs to be something to justify the annexation for these
people who are going to be annexed. He asked if they could be annexed

The accompanying Woodburn Downtown Association (WDA) meeting minutes
were furnished by Barbara Lucas, who requested that the Information be distributed
to the Mayor and Council members. Mrs. Lucas has provided similar material in the
past.
In lieu of a verbal presentation, such as typically given by the Woodburn
Chamber of Commerce, it would seem that this information regarding the WDA might
properly come under the agenda heading of 'Committee Reports=. Any WDA meeting
minutes provided in the future can similarly be Included informetionally under this

Minutes of Woodbum Downtown Association Board Meeting
March 26, 1996 Chavita's Restaurant
Attendees: Monnier, Garcia, Rehm, Coff¢lt, Klein, Yoder, Kirksey, King, Lucas, Torres,
Kanz, Reddaway, Saunders, Beck. Guest: Malcolm Johnston, Livable Oregon.
Because of the guest's scheduled presentation, the Board dispensed with regular agenda.
After a presentation by Reddawny the Board agreed unanimously to recommend that
Chavita's Restaurant be allowed to instal a 79' x 55" professionally produced sign over
the door on the west side of the building.
Lucas reported that the Bank of Woodburn was seeking designation as an historic
landmark. Garcia passed out a proposal for a Saturday market Kanz showed a tulip
festival insert which is being placed in the Woodburn paper.
Livable Oregon's Downtown Development ~t~istance Program
Malcolm Johnston of Livable Oregon distributed copies of LIVABLE OREGON NEWS
and MAIN STREET PROGRAM to attendees, and briefly touched on his organ/zat/on's
attempts to help communities deal with organization, design, promotion and economic
restructuring for their downtowns. Important that plan be sustainable for the future and
that it is feasible for property owners, business owners and the city who all have a stake
in the revenues generated by downtown. Fee for this service is $3500 a year. For this fee
his finn provides three phases of assistance over a 3- to 5-year period.
I) technical assismnc= organizing board; hiring sta~ s~ng goals, identifying funds,
assisting committees, and advising on revital/zafion.
2) technical ~ssistance for street.scape or facade renovatioa, market analysis, promotions,
and program evaluation..
3) technical assistance in business moruiting and expansion, organizational change,
design assistance, program ewal~tion and goal-setting.
Livable Ch~gon is helping 15 communities around the state. To qualify as a parmer with
Livable Oregon, communities must have a paid numager and broad community support.
There must be stable funding and a strategic action plan. Livable Oregon can help us
aoh/evc these goals. Woodbum Downtown Association has laid the groundwork for this
parmership. We have a board, a membership list, and a budget of dues and a grant from
Marion County.
5B
page 2 of WDA Board minutes 3/26/96
Two communities have signed on as parmers recently: Bend will hire a half-time
manager and Seaside will hire a full-t/me manager. Seaside is us/ng a voimiteer from/ts
association. Molalla and Stayton use Chamber of Commeree staff. Springfield is using
city staff City staff do not make good downtown managers because they have to answer
to the larger community.
Economic Improvement Districts (ELD) and Business Improvement Districts (BID) are
the best way to go. All partners in the LIVABLE OREGON use these types of financing
for revitalization. McMinnviile passed with 99% approval, Corvallis with 98%, but
Baker City is lagging behind with only 12% approval. The millage rates vary. Can be
from $.50 to $1.50 per $1,000 assessed valuation. Portland bases its charges on elevators.
Eugene uses an occu~/nonoccupancy formula. The average contribution in
revitalization programs is $200 to $400 a year. The BID can be financed with a
surcharge on the business license of businesses in the BID.. It is advisable to have the city
collect ElD or BID fees rather than the county. Formation of both these districts must be
approved by the city. LIVABLE OREGON can provide the tools for organizing an ElD
or a BID but WDA must do its own leg work.
LIVABLE ORECK)N now has 11 employees, the organization is funded with Lottery
money. There are two full-time architects to help with downtown design, streetscape,
historical preservation, facades and parking. Their staffcan provide help with street
trees. Staffcan also assist by providing lists of grants available.
WDA had decided to hire a manager. LIVABLE OREGON can furnish names of people
who want to work in this field, and it can furnish a list of qualifications wh/ch we should
look for when hiring someone. This information will be available when we become a
partner.
LIVABLE O~N approves of Saturday markets. A Satur~y market would ~ttract
not only peoplefrom Wnodbum but also people from othe~ commun/t/es. ~me people
make a habit of visiting Saturday markets. ~gaturday markets creat~ a revenue source and
am good promotion but they can develop a life of their own ~ th~ may end up shaping
the policy of the Downtown Association. The city may regulate Saturday markets.
Rnddaway suggested snd the Board agreed that members of the executive committee
meet immediately with Johnston to draw up a contract and pay for a year's partnership
with LIVABLE OREC~N.

Transportation System Plan Hearing
April 16, 1996
RECOMMENDATION:
After receiving public comments close the public hearing and direct staff to bring back
findings of fact and conclusions for City Council to adopt that pertain to the City's
Transportation System Plan.
BACKGROUND:
A copy of the final draft of the City's Transportation System Plan was provided to
council as part of the April. 8, 1996 council agenda package.
There have been previous hearings on this Plan and staff has been working with the
Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for several months
resolving the concerns that they had with the plan. The city position is that DLCD
concerns are addressed in this draft document. Communication with DLCD since they
were provided the document has indicated no further concerns.
At the April 8, 1996 council meeting discussion on including the flexibility of utilizing
other interchange options if they were brought out in the proposed refinement study
resulted in a motion that Section 5 be modified to include language similar to 'include
but are not limited to' referencing interchange options.
Section 5.0 is the technical evaluation of the interchange options that were studied
by the task force end the consultant. Staff feels that to achieve the intent of council
in the above referenced motion the modification would better be mede in Section 9,
Transportation System Plan, which contains system recommendations.
Staff is recommending that tl-~ modification be mede in paragraph 9.2.3 on page 89.
In the second paragraph the second sentence which currently reads "... improvement
(improve existing interchange, .... ' would be modified to read "... improvement
(including but not limited to the following: improve existing interchange...'.

Subject: Criteria For Liquor Licease, On-going Information- Exclusion Ordinance &
Party Status
In the Council Agenda for March 11 I provided a staff report to the Council regarding a
meeting I had with repreaentatives of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. In that staff
report I advised that I would be in contact with other jurisdictions to ascertain their processes
for renewal and issuance of liquor licenses. Through City Attorney Bob Shields I have
obtained a sample ordinance from the City of Independea~. The ordinance addresses drug
free zones and is the product of a liquor license denial the City of ~ce processed in
1994. I provide this sample ordinance to the council as informalion at this time and for your
review and information. It is interesting to note that this ordinance is not criminal in nature.
If a person violates this ordinance the police do not have the authority to physically arrest
and remove, only to issue a citation.
The circumstances surrounding the ~ for this type of ordinance stemmed from drugs,
prostitution, disorderly activities and other liquor related offease~ within the downtown area
of Indepm~. A person bought a bugneas in downtown Independence and attempted to
th~ OLCC and hearing con~. Th~ heating conc~udod allowing th~ applicant to ope~ an
e~tab~nt even though th~ local g~ body had provided a negative
t~commeadation. TI~ OI.~C ~pealed th~ decision of th~ he~th~g~ office~ m th~ full

docision. Thc final outcome of tl~ ~ was that th~ common o~ thc he~fings
15A
officer decision and the license was denied. In sp~_ king with OLCC staff and others one of
the determining factors contributing to the reversal Of the hearings officer's decision was thc
direct participation of the City of Indepeadetwe by way of party status.
In considering party status, factors that we would have to weigh are cost and time. Thc
licensing of liquor establishments has a great impact on the community. Should undesirable
local government. If the city were to deveiop an exclusion ordinance could we afford the
cost of the court and attorney time needed to prosecut~ the offende~ Secondly, if the city
should gain party status at OLCC hearings do we have the attorney time to provide legal
representation? In the coming weeks I shell attempt to provide more information to the
council to include a final recommendation. With the final recom~on we can than
proceed to develop a revised liquor license enforcement policy. In the meantime, should you
have questions or wish to discuss this further, please contact me.

ORDINANCE NO. 1275
1) The downtown area, including Riverview Park of the City have a signlfi~-tly higher
in~dence of conduct associated with tr~ ffieldng in narcotics and other controUed substances than
other areas of the City. This concentration of narcotics activity contributes to the degradation of
thi.~ area and also adversely affects the overall quality of life for businesses, visitors, and the
~ommuni~y in general.
2) M~ny persons arrested in the downtown area for delivering controlled substances or
imitation controlled subs~ces frequently return to the same location or general vicinity of their
arrest because the area has proven to be a lucrative place for tr~ffio, ldng in controlled subs~
3) After arresting drug dealers, police officers frequently encounter the s~me persons
shortly thereafter in the Eu~ me ~ engaging in the ~me criminal &C'tivity.
4) The City has a substan~ and compelling interesL in restoring the quality of life and
protecting the health, safety, and welfare of citizens using the pubUc ways in such aree~ The
government has a substantial and coml~_lllng interest in allowing the public to use and enjoy.the
facilities in such areas without interference aridng from sales of drugs or imitation drttgs.
5) The processes presently available were not meant to, and do not adequately control
this type of activity and the detrimental effects on the areas where it oecur~ Alternative methods
have been tried and have proven ineffective.
6) Individuals have a signfficant private interest in being able to travel and assodZ~te
~reely in ell areas of the City. However, the pubUc interest in preventin__g the harmful effects of
drug deAllng is so great that it justifies excluding the drug seUers for 90 days from an impacted area
in which they have sold drugs or imitation drugs.
15A
7) The City's health, safety and welfare would best be served by temporarily excluding
from impacted areas those persons who are arrested therein for the unlawful delivery of controlled
substances or of imitation controlled substances.
8) To minimize the likelihood of erroneous deprivation, the City should provide persons
who are arrested therein for the unlawful delivery of controlled substances or of imitation
controlled substances an opportunity to quickly challenge their exclusions and have a timely
hear~ before a quasi-judicial official before their exclusion from the drug-free zone becomes
effective.
9) To ensure that health care and other legitimate needs are met, variances should be
available to those in&vidusl~ with compelling need to enter the drug-free zone to preserve their
health or well-being.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Independence does ord-i- as follows:
Section 1. The Independence City Code is amended by adding a new Chapter 46 as follows:
Designation of Drug-Free Zone.
The following described property is hereby designated as a drug-free zone:
From the west side of Second Street east to the Willsmette River,
between Ash creek and the south side of D Street, including Riverview
Park.
Said designation shall be valid for an initial period of two years. Thereafter, the Council may
extend the designation as it deems appropriate. The removal of the designation shall be
by ordinance.
Civil Exclusion.
A person is subject to exclusion for a period of ninety (90) days from the public streets,
sidew~lk~, public property, and other public ways in the designated drug-free zone if that
person has been arrested or otherwise taken into custody for either the unlawfifl di_atxibufion
of a controlled substance pursuant to ORS 475.992 or for the unlawful delivery of an
imitation controlled substance pursuant to ORS 475.991 within that drug-free zone.
If a person excluded from a drug-free zone is found therein during the exclusion period, that
person is subject to immediate arrest for criminal tresp~ in the second degree pursuant to
ORS 164.245.
2 - Ordinance 1275 - Designated Drug-Free Zone
· ' · 15A
Issuance of Exclusion Notice~.
The Chief of Police is designated as the person in charge of the public streets, sidewalks,
public property and public ways in drug-free zones for purposes of issuing exclusion notices
in accordance with this chapter. The Chief of Police may authorize employees of the Police
Department to issue exclusion notices in accordance with this chapter.
~Pr0cedure.
At the time a person is arrested for violation of either the unlawful distribution of a
controlled substance or the delivery of an imitation controlled substance as prohibited by
ORS 475.991 or ORS 475.992 within a drug-free zone, the officer making such arrest may
deliver to the person a written notice excluding the person from the drug-free area The
notice shall spec/fy the area from which that person is excluded and conta~ information
concerning the right to appeal the exclusion notice to the City Manager or his or her
designate. The person to whom the exclusion notice is issued, shall sign a written
acknowledgement of receipt of the exclusion notice. If that person refuses to do so, the
arresting officer shall make a written record of the refusal.

documents in its control and which are intended to be used by the City at the hearing shall
be made available to the appellant at least two (2) days prior to the hearing.
2. (a) A determination by a court having jurisdiction of the matter, that the officer
who issued the exclusion notice, at that time had probable cause to arrest the person to
whom the exclusion notice was issued for violation of ORS 475.991 or 475.992, shall be prima
facie evidence that the exclusion was based on conduct proscribed by those statutes.

(d) In the event a person holdinsa variance is arrested for conduct prohibited by
state or federal law involving controlled substances, the variance shall immediately become

crI'Y OF WOODBURN
CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S TASK FORCE ON FACILITIES NEEDS
APRIL, 1996
INTRODUCTION
The Task Force was made up of six city residents who have served on the Budget
Committee, the Planning Commiseion, the Park Board, the Ubrsry Board, and the City
Council., The City's finance officer facilitated the meetings and the City Administrator
arranged for presentations to the Task Force.
Certain limitations were placed on the Task Force's focus. Sewage treatment and
transportation were out of bounds because of on-going studies. To accommodate
further public Input, the Task Force decided not to be site specific about the location
of facilities, but outside of these three areas, everything was fair game. Population
growth figures were furnished and City staff were encouraged to bring forward any
end all proposals, no matter how farfetched. It would be up to the Task Force to
determine if fantasies were financially feasible and to set priorities.
BACKGROUND
There has been very little Improvement, or construction, of facilities where City
employees work, for many years, In spite of the fact that Woodburn's population has
Increased by 69% since the Ubrary, City Hall end the sewer plant were built 20 years
ago. Lack of money has been the p~imary reason cons~uction of facilities have not
kept pace with the community's needs.
First of all, City spending has always been curtailed by a 1916 tax base so low the
budget had to be approved by the electorate every year. Then came Measure 5,
which limited the amount of property tax which could be levied. Finally, in November,
1994, the City got some breathing room when voters approved a new tax base, and
late lest summer the City Administrator organized · Ta~k Force to put together ·
Capital Improvement Program.
The following is the Capital Improvement Projects .st the Task Force recommends:
15B
IMMEDIATE NEEDS
Finishing the City Hall basement to relieve several pressing
problems- $125,000

Office and storage space for Community Development
Office space for Public Works Engineering Department
Storage space for Police evidence
Office space for Admlnistration/Financa/Recorder
Shops, offices end some covered vehicle storage for the Street and
Water Divisions vehicles - City is negotiating to buy the old ladder
factory- $300,000
3. Wash rack et Cleveland Street storage lot - $100,000
Immediate to the Task Force, meant right now, in the upcoming
1996-97 budget. Finding space at City Hall is critical.
Community Deveiopmeat. Not only is planning staff crowded for work apace, but
there is no private er~a where developers may discuss their plans with staff. If
pdvecy is needed for conferences, Planning staff must move out of their office until
the conference is over, ceusing congestion at the building Inspector's counter.
Storage is critical too. Records ere in several pisces, upstairs in the v~ult end in the
basement.
Public Works Engkm4rb~ For several years now, engineering h~ gradually been
moving its ataff and equipmeflt Into · Jerry-bu?t ro ...m in ~:e
cement floor here not been finished, the eno wsu ~s homing uu~ UmG~ pmau~ ....
room needs to be finished.
15B
Police Evidence is supposed to be kept secure. The present evidence storage room
~hares space with utility outlets which serve City Hell. When something goes wrong
with utilities, the Police Department must open up the evidence room and keep
someone in the room until the utilities people finish and leave the area.
Administrative Offices. The City Recorder's office is awkwardly located for
supervision of the Court counter. In fact, a room divider prevents the clerk from
seeing if help is needed st the counter.
Street & Water Shops/Offices. These two divisions long ago outgrew their existing
facilities. Negotiations are nearing completion for the ladder factory.
Wash Rack. The wash reck is needed because these vehicles are now washed on the
street, causing muddy sidewalks and streets and risldng DEQ and EPA fines.
Library Landscaping - $13,000
Public Works maintenance facility. Garage is directly associated
with proposal to combine ail fleet management under one
organization in one location. 6150,000 - 6250,000
Police Precinct office - lease
Transit Mall (phased)- 6200,000 - t400,000
Parks
Work/storage building - 6140.000
Maintenance areas - $60,000
Re.eat.on room at Buriinghlm Park- 6150.000
Community Center - 61,300.000
The Task Force recommends that tho City examine microfilm and
COM technology to save on storage space. The Task Force IS
aware that state mandates for micmffiming pemumant records will
influence how this technology IS applied.
Rye-Year Needs to the Task Force means within the next five
years.
15B
Ubrary. Inside the Ubrary, the repairs and redecorating have tumed it into an almost
new facility. But the library grounds are not attractive. Trees and shrubbery are
overgrown, pathway concrete is worn, and the grass at the rear is thin. The are?.
needs landscaping. A decision about parking at the rear entrance was deferred until
decision is made about parking around City Hall.
Fleet Maintenance. CounGII and Budget C~:)mm. ltte.e .members f~
discussed the pros and cons of having a central maintenance I.nO .mpa..~. g..a, ti .
city-owned vehicles. A new ecluipmant garage is directly aseocmte~ wrm me proposm
to combine all fleet maintenance under one organization in one location. Police. Public
Works. and Parks management support this proposal.
ISoace. Although space in the Police Department is very crowded, the Police Chief
stated that rather than expand at City Hall, he would prefer to lease apace for
precincts in troublesome areas.
Transit Mall. A transit center is one of the Items called for in the aeon-to-be adopted
The transit mall would be an area where buses would

protected from the weather, later the transit mall could also serve rail passengers if
and when the train stops in Woodburn.
Parks. The tour of facilitiss was extensive., and in some pa..rte depres~i__n_g_._i~Fc~r

space for the next ten years. Ten to Fifteen years ~rom now, me neso mr. aoom
office space will exceed what is available and will have to be accommodatod in an
additional bu.?ding. From this point in time, it is unclear exactly what tha. t building
should look like or who it should house. Planning for its location and design should
begin eight to ten years hence.
Ubrary Exponsion. The library, with its present conflg, uratlon.,, has one
arrangement that it can make to accommodate changing eno expensing naeoe. At~e
that, more space must be found. There are two poesibilities. The mozzanine area can
be extended or the building can be extended out into the library grounds. However,
another matter, perhaps more Important than space is the future of the h'braw.
Should branches be set up? What effect will computer technology have on the
library? Answers to these questions can come only from future stud'ma.
Public Works.Covered Vehiclo Storage. Valuable Public Works vehicles need inside
storage. Presently they are stored outside, subject to weather and vandalism.
Parking and the Community Center
Parking. There is · lot of pressu, ra o.n downto, wn.p_arldn, ?~?_b.e._c~.us~__ o.f..in_,cre, a_s~l_,,g

employees, are parking on residential streets, un uourt oays, poopm nave w
to llnd parking spaces.
The Task Force recommends that any decidons about parking plans be set aside until
the (3ty decides what action to take on the new Community Center.
The Task Force further recommends th'et p~rking facilities be designed so that they
can be used by different users at different times of day. For example, there should
not be separate parking facmtiss for deytimo visitors to City Hell and nighttime visitors
to the Community Center ff they are in ~ proximity to each other.
C011tlltU~ C~lt~ L0cat~l ~ to City HIE, The Task Force reoommendation for
a new community Center camo as a result of the facilities tour.
The present Community Center IS clean, but old end sha. bby. It ne. ed_e ramo_del.ing and~
redecorating. Structural problems preclude e .xt~_sw.e_ r.emoco?ng..
Recreation offices ere located on the second floor. 1 ne interior sta~vay ~ IIHIgrl~o.
The outdoor stairway is slippery during wet and icy weather. Offices are not
accessible to the handicapped. An estimate for Installation of an elevator was
$250,000.
The Center is heavily used from 7:30 in the morning to 9:00 in the evening, by many
youngsters and adults. Three City services have offices in the Center. But needs
have outgrown the facility and there is no room for expansion on the site. The Center
is in a residential neighborhood, so the Parks Department is hesitant to plan some
noisy evening activities, such as dances. Parking is limited and awkward.
15B
Many needs for a new Community Center have been pointed out. It has even been
suggested that perhaps a performing arts center could be part of the Community
Center. But before planning goes any further, some mechanism must be set up to
find out if there is support for such · project. The same Idnd of problem-solving effort
could be used for · Community Center that wes used for the Aquatic Center - a Task
Force to involve the community, not only in the design of the center, but in the
financing of the project. Uke the pool, financing wouM have to come from donations
and bonding, because there isn't that kind of cash eva.able in present City revenues.
Some Suggestions That Didn't Make it
The Task Force felt that some proposals would best be dealt with in ways other than
the Cepital Facilities Plan. Proposed Parks projects should be Included in the Parks
Cepital Improvement Plan. Some proposals were deemed to be maintenance Items
end should be charged to operating budgets.
Two proposals, one for an Indoor soccer arena, and another for a miniature golf
course, were dropped completely because they were not considered appropriate for
expenditure of public funds. They would be desirable additions to the community, if
they were funded by the private sector.
The proposed remodeling of the Legion Park stadium dressing rooms was also
dropped. The Task Force believed that the School Distslct, because it IS the primary
user, should take the lead on this project. The City should consider participating in
the project if the School District decided to pursue it.

WOODBURN POLICE DEPARTME~
COMMUNITY POLICING ACTION PLAN
OBJECTIVE:
STRATEGY:
To inspire Community Policing Philosophy within the Woodburn Police
Department and the citizens whom we serve.
Develop a partnership with the community, City Council, other city
departments, service agencies, and the criminal justice system.
Develop an organizational structure and environment that reflects
community values and facilitates joint citizen and employee empowerment.
Enhance community livability through use of proactive problem solving
approaches for reduction of incidence and fear of crime.
Foster mutual accountability for Public Safety resources and strategies
among police management and employees, the community and City
Council.
Develop a customer orientation in our service to citizens and our police
members, and to develop a process for overall management and direction
of the Community Policing transition.
Improve the social, health, education, and physical environment of the
community, and make the neighborhoods a better and safer place to live.
Community policing is a philosophy and an organizational strategy that
promotes a partnership between people and their police. It is based on the
premise that both the police and community must work together to
identify, prioritize, and solve contemporary problems such as crime,
drugs, fear of crime, social and physical disorder, and overall
neighborhood decay, with the goal of improving the overall quality of life
in the City of Woodbum.
Community policing requires a department-wide commitment from
everyone, civilian and sworn, to the community policing philosophy. It
also challenges all personnel to find ways to express this new philosophy
in their jobs, thereby balancing the need to maintain an immediate and
effective police response to individual crime incidents and emergencies
with the goal of exploring new proactive initiatives aimed at solving
problems before they occur or escalate.
The Woodburn Police Department has added three additional sworn police
officers with federal grants. These positions will allow the police
department to strengthen our Community Policing activities.
Citizens and police officers will mutually participate in, and be responsible
for, strategy design and problem solving that emphasizes comprehensive
responses to criminal incidents. The key to problem solving is joint
empowerment of police officers and citizens to allocate public and private
resources as dictated by uniqueness of the problem ~nd its most effective
and efficient resolution. Essential to this process are flexible police
officers with good interpersonal communication skills who take a vested
interest in, and are sensitive to, the cultural and ethnic diversity of the
public they serve.
The Woodburn Police Department will focus on three specific needs of
our diverse communities. 1. To lesson fear among the elderly; 2. to
partnership with the Hispanic population to identify problems and
solutions within their community; and, 3. reduce crime in multi-housing
complexes.
The department as a whole, and each one of the community policing
officers will work with and within each of the three distinct communities
to form partnerships and strategies for known problems to be identified by
these diverse groups.
Community Policing expects a reduction in the fear of, and occurrence of
crime, through identification of root causes and remedies for crime and
disorder through problem identification and solving.
Community Policing Officers shall be assigned to the Patrol Operations
Division and will report to the Patrol Shift Commander.
The first priority of all Woodburn Police Officers will be to perform law
enforcement responsibilities by handling the daily basic needs of the
community, investigating criminal activity, and making arrest, while
participating with the community to modify conditions that encourage
criminal behavior.
Effective Community Policing depends on optimizing contact between
patrol officers and community members so that the officer develops an
intimate knowledge of the day-to-day workings of the community and
becomes a familiar figure to community members.
Establishing and maintaining mutual trust is the central goal of community
partnerships. Trust will give the police greater access to valuable
information that can lead to the prevention, intervention, and solution of
crimes. It will also engender support for police activities and provide a
basis for a productive working relationship with the community that will
find solutions to local problems.
Community Policing does not offer a quick fix. It requires a long term
commitment by police and community members working together to reach
mutually agreed-upon goals.
Community Policing also promotes communication with the media on the
many community projects and functions which the police department and
community are involved.
The problem solving process the Woodburn Police Department will use
to implement community policing consists of a four step decision making
model know as S.A.R.A. (Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment)
All members of the Woodburn Police Department will have been trained
and will continue to use this model in solving identified root causes of
crime and fear in the community.
Police Officers who have received additional training in Community
Policing techniques, will bring back what they have learned and present
training classes for other department members.
COMMUNICATION
Community policing empowers police officers and community to solve
problems that effect their neighborhood. Decisions made by officers and
community groups often effect all levels of the police department and
other city departments. Therefore, it is imperative the responsible officer
notify effected staff or departments, as soon as reasonable, about public
concerns, issues, and suggested solutions, that effect them.
EVALUATION
The Woodburn Police Department will assess how well the project is
implemented by evaluating Community Policing activities and direct
feedback from the citizens in the targeted areas. The assessment objective
is to enhance productivity through continual evaluation and neces~
revision of the department programs. It is also an objective to evaluate,
on a continual basis, all police department personnel to insure attainment
of department community policing goals.
Evaluations of police officers will emphasize personal attributes and job
skills that are consistent with Community Policing. The evaluation of the
officer's activities will be quantifiable by establishing the following:
Community Meetings - How many, what kind, number of people
in attendance, did the officer organize?
Organization - Number and types of block/watch and other types
of groups formed, number and demographics of participants, time
spent.
Speeches - Topics, number, kind of group, size of audience, time
spent.
Social Disorder - Number and types of projects aimed at the
problems of social disorder as described in strategies, number of
people involved, demographics of participants, participation of
youth, area businesses, public agencies, and non-profit groups.
Anti Drug Initiatives - Number and types of group initiatives
aimed at drug use, number and types of individual and groups
aimed at drug dealing, number of drug houses closed, number of
arrest made, number of youth, community, business and other
agencies involved.
S_r~cial Groups - Number of individuals and group proactive
initiatives aimed at the special needs of fragile, troubled, or
uniquely vulnerable groups such as juveniles, youth gangs,
women, the elderly, the disabled, the unemployed, the poor, single
parent families.
Networking - Number and types of contacts with citizens,
community leaders, business owners/managers, social services,
city service providers, church officials, educators, the media, etc.
Referrals - Number and Types of referrals, Number and types of
agencies involved.
Intelligence Information - Number of occasions when the officer
received useful information that contributed to resolve a crime,
disorder or drug problem.
Innovation Documentable incidents where the community
policing officer has demonstrated an imaginative approach toward
problem solving through new projects, new use of technology.
Teamwork - Does the community policing officer work as part of
a team.
Solicitation of Resources - Number and
donations/work/materials from individuals,
governmental agencies, private funders, etc.
kind of
businesses,
Documentation - Police Officers will be required to maintain
accurate daily records of their activity. Records will be forwarded
to their shift commander on a weekly basis.
ELDERLY:
Even though reported crime within the 1,600 home planned retirement
housing community is lower than other areas of the city, the fear of
victimization and feelings of vulnerability among the elderly are very
high. A fear reduction program through the Police Direct Contact
program, Crime Prevention program, Neighborhood Watch, and
committees such as Senior and Law Enforcement Together (SALT) have
proven to be most successful in reducing citizens' fears.
The community policing officer will not limit his scope to the elderly who
live within Senior Estates, but will work to reduce fear among all seniors
living in Woodburn.
HISPANIC
COMMUNITY:
MULTI-FAMILY
HOUSING
The Woodbum Police Department will continue to build partnerships with
the Hispanic community. Since there is no clear cut geographical
boundaries in which this community live, the police department will work
within the schools, the downtown core area and the Hispanic community
at large.
The Woodburn Police Department will work closely with the Juvenile
Department and the Youth Service Team in coordination of efforts and
information sharing.
The Woodburn Police Department will work with downtown businesses
and residence in reducing illegal drug activity, prostitution and to improve
physical environmental conditions in the core area.
The Woodbum Police Department will partnership with Multi-Family
Housing Developments to help tenants, owners, and managers of rental
property to keep criminal and illegal drug activity off their property. The
most effective way to deal with criminal activity on rental property is
through a coordinated effort with police, landlords, and neighbors. We
will participate with responsible landlords that are seeking honest tenants
to make their housing developments a pleasant place to live, and raise
families. We will work with tenants through Apartment Watch programs
to reduce fear of crime and criminal activity.
The Woodburn Police Department will participate with apartment owners,
managers and tenants, in addressing persistent problems in apartment
maintenance, landscaping, lighting, and graffiti removal.
IMPLANTATION:
Community Policing kick off will be begin on March 18, 1996 to
coincide with regular duty schedule.
The Department will contact the local media for a formal press
release. The press release will include information on the COPS
Grants, the target areas and demonstration projects.
Within the early weeks of deployment, each officer will have
contacted community members in the target areas for an initial
meeting. The officers will participate with community members
to establish dates, times, locations, and notifications of the first
area wide meeting, to discuss a proposal to launch Community
Policing with follow-up meetings at the neighborhood level.
Meetings will educate the public about the history of community
policing and how it fits the need of our community. Crime
analysis information will also be given to the citizens, so they can
better determine their needs.
The Department will educate the public on the Neighborhood
Watch Program and how it fits within the Community Policing
Program. Officers will facilitate the group in identifying problems
within their own neighborhood and developing solutions.
The Department will develop an action plan and contract with the
public.
The Department will implement the action plan using resources
that they have identified and are available to him.
To assess the quality and effectiveness of community policing
strategies, a survey of citizens in the targeted areas will be
performed one year after the implementation of the program.
Based on survey information, strategies will be reviewed and
updated.
All members of the Woodburn Police Department shall be involved
in the objectives, goals, strategies, communication, evaluation, and
implementation of Community Policing.
EVENTS
Members of the department and citizens must get involved in community
activities and functions to promote community identity, interaction,
solidarity, and pride. The following are a few events the police
department will actively be involved in and support.
