Swimming Pool Consultant Don Carey and Architect Larry Matson
Also in attendance were Swimming Pool Committee Chairman Flurry Stone,
Joan Garren, and Ruth DeSantis
0020 For the benefit of those individuals not in attendance at the August 30th
meeting, Mr. Carey briefly reviewed the swimming pool situation and the
options discussed by the group. Based on the suggestions of the group, he
had an architectural design drawn by Mr. Matson which changed the 3-pool
concept to 2 pools with the placement of an optional water slide. The new
design provides for a S2'x 75' pool (depth ranging from 3 foot to 5 foot) and a
separate teaching pool. If a water slide was installed, it would only require an
approximate 10 foot extension of the west wall. Mr. Carey stated that
renovating the existing pool would do nothing but repair the shell which is all
that Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) monies would pay
towards. However, Marion County has advised the City that the bathhouse
needs to be replaced within two years since it does not meet current code
standards.
In regards to the size of the pool, Mr. Carey stated that minimum size to meet
competitive standards is 42'x 75' while the present pool size is 40'x 75'.

Committee Chairman Stone reiterated that the intent of the Committee was to
maximize the space available at the present site and to focus on building a
facility that would meet the community's needs without having to build at a
second site.
Mr. Carey stated that the proposed facility should meet the community's needs
over the next 25-30 years. It has been designed to provide multi-programming
for all ages. Within the large pool, three sets of programs can be accomplished
at the same time such as lessons, aerobics, and water walking.
The current design provides for a 10 foot deck on three sides of the large pool
and the existing bathhouse would be relocated to the east side of the current
site. The proposed size of the facility is 18,000 square feet.
Discussion was held regarding the deck side and spectator seating during
competitive swimming meets. Mr. Carey stated that portable bleacher units
are available that fit within a 5 foot width and are 3 levels in height. He
suggested that the bleachers not be made a permanent part of the facility. A
lobby that has windows into the pool area is where on-lookers should wait
rather than at the poolside.
Mr. Carey provided a summary of the construction costs shown in two phases.
Phase I would be to renovate the outdoor pool with the new design, build a
new bathhouse, demolition and site work, and related architectural/engineering
fees for an estimated cost of $908,250. Phase II would be to make the pool
area an indoor facility at an estimated cost of $940,200.
Discussion was held regarding the size of other pools within a 50-mile radius
for the purpose of determining whether or not the facility would be used for
competitive meets and general use by individuals who live outside of the city
limits. Mr. Carey stated that most of the older pools (i.e. Salem, Canby,
Newberg) are generally 45'x75'. Lake Oswego and McMinnville do have pools
that are wider and accommodate 8 or 10 lanes. The pool as design~d would
provide 10 lanes for competitive swimming.
In regards to the water slide, Mr. Carey stated that the City could decide to
reduce the width of the pool by 2 lanes and put a water slide in that area
without extending the size of the building. He suggested that the water slide
option be considered since it does not require additional personnel to operate
and it does attract a lot of youths and adults. The water slide unit would be
removable in the event its popularity decreases. The bathhouse would include
a paid locker area which does generate additional revenues. Other energy
saving items would be installed to reduce operational expenses.

Discussion was held regarding access to the pool by handicapped individuals.
Mr. Carey stated that the water would come up to deck level and a handicap
chair lift could also be used to lower an individual into the water. Park Director
Holly stated that the City does own a portable lift which is used to meet
American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.
Funding options were also reviewed by Mr. Carey. He provided a worksheet
on low and high construction costs for the entire project and the net bond
issue amount that may be required to fund the project. Estimated annual cost
to a property owner under a proposed bond issue amount of $1.2 million would
be approximately $.27 per $1,000 assessed value while a $1.6 million bond
issue would be approximately $.35 per $1,000 assessed value. The remaining
funds would be obtained from FEMA monies and grants that are available from
government and private sources. Mr. Carey stated that he has reviewed
numerous grant criteria of which Woodburn qualifies for a majority of them due
to their economic level, senior population, and ethnic diversity. Additionally, he
reviewed potential operational expenses for a year-round pool versus revenues
generated, He estimated that without a water slide, the City would need
approximately $25,000 additional tax dollars to balance the pool budget. If a
water slide is installed, the revenues generated would almost offset the
additional tax dollars.
Further discussion was held regarding a phase-in of the project or building it all
at once. It was suggested that initially, the City propose a bond issue to the
voters in March 1994 to see if it could be passed, and if it fails, then propose
the phase-in approach. In any event, the County would probably issue a permit
for next year provided that the City is planning on making necessary
renovations by the following year. Construction can be done during time
periods in which the pool is not in operation so that there is no interruption in
next year's operation, Several of the individuals present at the meeting
suggested that an indoor facility be proposed initially to the citizens father than
a phased-in approach for funding.
Administrator Childs stated that the City's bonding capacity is limited and
future years will require some general obligation bonds for wastewater and
transportation needs.
Mr. Carey reiterated the need for getting some direction from the City Council
as to what type of plan design needs to be pursued along with the outdoor or
indoor facility concept. Administrator Childs stated that staff would be able to
provide the Council with a summary of options for discussion at their
September 27th regular meeting.

Mr. Carey also reiterated that public education regarding the benefits of the
new pool for all ages must be pursued as soon as a design is selected so that
voters will be receptive to passage of a bond issue. The group discussed
methods of providing the information to the public which included a regular
newspaper article on the new pool and personal contacts.
The meeting ended around 8:45 p.m..

Also in attendance were the following Cable TV Access Advisory Board
members: Bruce Thomas, Pete Grigoreiff, Dail Adams, Dave Higgenbotham,
Linda Johnston, and Linda Sprauer (arrived at 6:40 p.m.).
0020 Bruce Thomas, Board Chairman, stated that the Advisory Board has been in
contact with other local Cable Access groups to review their operations as a
guideline on what can be done to meet the needs of the community. Field trips
to the Tualatin/Beaverton area, Salem, and Canby were made by various Board
members. These Cable Access groups utilize both paid staff members and
volunteers to operate their program. Types of broadcasting which are televised
both live and on tape, include community activities, local sports, ne~s,
monthly meetings, etc.. He reviewed a booklet distributed to the Council
which provided background information on community access television, a
copy of the questionnaire which was published in the Woodburn Independent
on September 1, 1993, a list of proposed equipment to be purchased, public
relations, proposed by-laws, and a 5 year budget projection worksheet. In
regards to the questionnaire, he stated that they have not had an opportunity
to tally the results as of this date. Policy and procedure guidelines for use of
the equipment have not been formalized, however, it is the intent of the board
to allow individuals to check out only certain equipment and use of the
equipment cannot be for personal use. Only individuals who have been trained
to use the equipment will be allowed to check out or use studio equipment.

Community organizations will be allowed to utilize the equipment initially and
individuals will eventually be able to use the equipment. Revenue sources are
the subscriber fee and a portion of the franchise fees paid to the City.
Operating expenses include maintenance, insurance, training,
dues/subscriptions, accounting/legal, advertising, printing, and postage. There
would be no paid staff members involved in the program.
0339 Mr. Thomas stated that the Advisory Board is ready to follow through with the
Council's direction from November 1992. They have not made any purchases
of equipment since they felt it would more prudent to purchase the equipment
as a package rather than piecemeal.
Further discussion was held regarding Northland's future participation as an
Advisory Board member. It was noted that the Franchise Ordinance does
require them to be a member of the initial Advisory Board, however, if the
Board is granted non-profit status the Articles of Incorporation would determine
the composition of the Board. Additionally, it may be necessary for the Board
to negotiate with Northland provisions that would pertain to the Board and
community access programming.
Administrator Childs stated that another issue to be addressed at that time
would be the transfer of funds to the Board which are received by the City as
part of the franchise fee. He also stated that the City would have no additional
obligation to the Advisory Board for revenues to fund their programs unless the
City so desires to utilize tax dollars towards community access programming.
0643 Linda Sprauer stated that the proposed by-laws provide for staggered terms for
Board members of 3 or 4 years which would allow members to become familiar
with the activities of the Board. Initially some of the board members would be
appointed for one or two years with the possibility of reappointment.
Bruce Thomas also stated that he felt the current board members work well
together and he hoped there would be no changes at this point in time. The
board currently consists of a representative from the local business community,
school district, fire district, city, Northland Cable TV, and 2 members at-large.
During a brief discussion on the filing for a 501 (3)(c) status, it was noted that
the Articles of Incorporation would address the issue of number of board
members. It was also noted that the Articles of Incorporation have not been
written by the Board as of this date.
In regards to purchasing equipment, money is available through the City's
budget and the Board has received at least 3 quotes on the list of proposed
equipment. Administrator Childs stated that he has authorized the payment of
any legal and operational expenses, however, capital purchases must be made
through the City's bidding process.
0992 Bruce Thomas stated that the Board is ready to file the 501 (3)(c) papers but it
will take at least 6 months to a year before a determination is made by the
federal government. Until then, the Board will need to follow city rules for
Page 2 - Council Workshop Meeting Minutes, September 13, 1993

expenditure of funds. The Board requested the Council to allow them to
proceed with the purchase of the equipment and to file the 501 (3)(c)
paperwork.
Administrator Childs also questioned the Board as to how equipment purchased
from City funds would be identified from Northland and/or School equipment.
Bruce Thomas stated that all of the equipment would be tagged for
identification purposes. Each agency would be able to operate independently if
it was necessary, however, some of the equipment to be purchased will
enhance the equipment owned by the other groups.
It was the consensus of the Councilors present to bring this issue before the
Council under New Business during their regular meeting.

Mayor Kelley stated that he had been given a letter from
Councilor Mitchell which was signed by several West Woodburn
residents offering their volunteer service to keep the median
strip along Woodland Avenue maintained.
Councilor Mitchell stated that their intent is to pull weeds
and place them, along with any litter, in garbage bags that
could be picked up by Public Works or Parks. Public Works
Director Tiwari stated that he would be willing to work with
those citizens on their request.
Robert Mill, 1375 Alexandra Court, stated that their
neighborhood continues to be plagued with unabated public
nuisances which have been caused by the refusal of Bi-
Mart/Shop N Kart owners to erect a fence or cinder block wall
to prohibit people from crossing into private property whether
it be the residential area or Hoodview Church of God property.
The types of nuisances seen by children and adults on a
regular basis include drinking in pUblic, littering,
urination, and defecation. Representatives of the
neighborhood have met periodically with Bi-Mart management in
the past but they promise to do something but they never
follow through with their promises. The residents in the area
are tired of trying to fight a battle with the developers and
are asking the City to assist them in getting the problem
taken care of. On Friday evening, September 10th, Councilor
Hagenauer was made aware of the problem when he attended a
neighborhood meeting held at the Church.
Wesley Merritt, 1495 Alexander, emphasized the fact that
problems addressed by Rob Mill occur on a regular basis. He
stated that his property abuts the south side of the Bi-Mart
development and it is not uncommon to have motorcyclists
crossing the berm and driving into his backyard to get over to
Alexandra Avenue. Additionally, individuals coming from Shop
N Kart sit in his backyard drinking alcohol but they leave his
yard by the time the police officers arrive.
Community Development Director Goeckritz stated that,.as a
condition of site plan approval, a sound barrier was to be
erected when the development extended to the southerly portion
of the property. Bi-Mart had indicated to the City last year
that they would erect a fence until such time as the cinder
block wall was required. The City has contacted the
developers in the past regarding the problem. Just recently
the staff has received a copy of a contract between Bi-Mart
and Security Fence Co. for the installation of a 5 foot chain
link fence which they hoped would dissuade people from
crossing over to Alexandra Avenue. He stated that the fence
might slow the traffic but it won't change the behavior of the
people creating the problem.

Rev. Dave Doughtery, Pastor of Hoodview Church of God,
commended the neighborhood for working together to try and
solve this problem. He suggested that the developers be
required to place a 7 foot fence around the south and westerly
portions of their property rather than a 5 foot fence in which
most people could climb across.
Chief Wright stated that the violations being committed have
to be witnessed by the officer or witnessed by a citizen who
is willing to sign a citizen's arrest.
Claudio Lima, 1415 Alexandra Court, stated that he was
disgusted with the activities being witnessed by the residents
such as public indecency and drinking in public. Bi-Mart had
previously assured the neighborhood that they would build a
fence but they have not kept their promise. The local
residents want to clean-up their neighborhood but the
developers are not willing to help them, therefore, they are
requesting help from the City.
Director Goeckritz stated that the city had contacted Bi-Mart
initially and the residents have been doing what they should
do to try and solve this problem. The City have asked the
developers to police their property and staff met with the
owner of Shop N Kart last week who advised the staff that they
would do more towards keeping the area clean.
The Council questioned the staff on the code requirements for
fence height and staff advised them that a 7 foot fence would
be allowed in that area. It was the consensus of the Council
that Director Goeckritz contact Bi-Mart immediately to
recommend the changing of the fence height from 5 foot to 7
foot.
Barbara Merritt, 1495 Alexandra, requested that something be
done about the noise problem in the early morning hours. She
stated that the unloading zone for Shop N Kart abuts their
back yard and they move their pallets and metal objects during
the middle of the night which wakes up the residents.
Additionally, Bi-Mart has provided the neighborhood group with
letters promising a fence but they have not followed through
with their promise. .
Rob Mill stated that their were approximately 12 residents
from the neighborhood present at this meeting. He also
provided photographs to the Council as to the amount of litter
which accumulates in a very short period of time.
CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING - 573 N. FRONT ST. (POOL HALL).
Mayor Kelley opened the hearing at 7:25 p.m..
Director Goeckritz stated that structural framing has been
completed and the majority of the work has been done. Since
the safety of the building has been secured, staff recommended
that this building be removed from the dangerous building
list.

Mayor Kelley opened the hearing at 7:30 p.m..
Realtor David Threefoot, Landmark Realty, stated that very
little interest has been shown by prospective buyers. He has
met with the owner and they have been discussing the formation
of a coalition to see if anyone within the community is
interested in preserving the building and potentially
purchasing the property. He also stated that he had recently
been informed that a relative of Ms. Fives is interested in
rehabilitating the building, however, he will not have an
opportunity to discuss this with Ms. Fives until she returns
from her vacation later this week.
Councilor Figley stated that she would prefer that the
building be rehabilitated. Even though the engineering report
does not indicate that there are any major structural
problems, she is concerned about the lack of progress and
future deterioration of the building.
Mr. Threefoot stated that he would discuss the options with
Ms. Fives later this week.

COUNCIL BILL 1490 - ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A METHODOLOGY FOR
TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES (TIF) AND STORMWATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM

Council Bill 1490 was introduced by Councilor Jennings.
Recorder Tennant read the two readings of the bill by title
only since there were no objections from the Council.
Councilor Jennings questioned the interest rate of prime +
.05% rather than stating the lowest possible interest rate.
Public Works Director Tiwari stated that using a published
financial rate provides consistency when quoting interest

rates to developers interested in the payment plan. The
proposed Ordinance also provides the Council with the ability
to adjust the interest rate by resolution.
Administrator Childs stated that the developer may find that
financing the charges on a long-term basis may be more
beneficial than on a short-term basis with the City.
Discussion was held regarding the need to be consistent in
whatever interest level is decided upon and to minimize staff
time in administering the program.
Finance Director Gritta stated that an alternative financial
rate is the T-Bill, however, this rate is generally lower than
the prime and the City should not be lending money at an
interest rate less than what we get on our own investments.
Attorney Shields stated that money owed to the City will be
secured by a first lien on the property, however, the property
taxpayer must also be assured that the established fees would
be paid. He felt that the proposed ordinance does provide the
city with the flexibility to administer the program and the
necessary security.
Councilor Figley suggested that the ordinance provide a
definition for prime rate.
Councilor Jennings also suggested that the ordinance be
reviewed every five years rather four since it will take five
years to get to the 30% level.
JENNINGS/FIGLEY...amend the section 2(H) and section 3(D)(4)
by changing every four (4) years to every five (5) years. The
motion to amend the bill passed unanimously.
FIGLEy/JENNINGS.... amend section 1 by inserting a definition

passed.
COUNCIL BILL 1491 - RESOLUTION SETTING THE AMOUNTS OF TRAFFIC
IMPACT PEES (TIP) AND STORMWATER DRAINAGE SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT

Council Bill 1491 was introduced by Councilor Jennings. The
bill was read by title only since there were no objections
from the Council.
Councilor Figley questioned if the TIF would be prorated to
developers based on actual square footage of the building.
Public Works Director Tiwari stated that fee calculations
would be based on the exact square footage.
Councilor Jennings questioned if a property owner would incur
the proposed TIF & SDC's if they are remodeling their
business.
Director Tiwari stated that if they are remodeling their
business and additional traffic flow would be created, they
would then pay towards the TIF.

Director Tiwari stated that credits are only allowed on
designated collector and arterial streets and for those
streets listed on the CIP list. All other street improvements
would be through local improvement districts and property
owners building only one residence on an unimproved street
would be asked to sign an agreement stating that they would

Continuation of P~blic Hearing Concerning Disposition of
Dangerous Buil!;ling located at 347 N. Front Street (Salud
Clinic Building)
DATE:
September 22, 1993
AI Nunez, Executive Director of Salud, appeared before the Council on August
23, 1993 in regard to this structure. He presented a chronology of Salud's activities
since the earthquake, as well as testimony describing some of the options being
considered and problems encountered. Following Mr. Nunez' presentation, Council
continued the public hearing on this building until September 27, 1993.
Staff has contacted Mr. Nunez concerning the continuation of the public hearing
on September 27th. Due to a prior commitment, Mr. Nunez indicated that he will be
in Baker City, Oregon on that date and Alma Grijalva, Director of Operations for Salud,
is recovering from a brief hospitalization and will likely not be able to attend the
meeting.
In respect to recent developments, Mr. Nunez did convey several items of
significance during the conversation. Salud has now received verbal confirmation
from the Public Health Service that a special capital projects grant application has
been approved. These funds, coupled with other funding sources, should allow Salud
to proceed with a long-term recovery program once plans and funding arrangements
are solidified. Coincidentally, Mr. Nunez related that the Brack's Restaurant location
is no longer under consideration as a permanant home for the Salud Clinic.
Because of the tentative commitment from the Public Health Service, Mr. Nunez
indicated that a meeting with Farmers Home Administration, Salud's mortgageholder,
has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 29, 1993. A course of action in
regard to the damaged 347 N. Front St. structure will be a principal point of
discussion.
RECOMMENDATION:
To allow time for the 9/29/93 meeting between Salud and FmHA to occur and
any resultant course of direction to solidify, staff recommends that this public hearing
be continued until Monday, October 11, 1993.

Realtor David Threefoot, representing Nora Fives, the owner of this property,
appeared before the Council on September 13, 1993. As Council will recall, Mr.
Threefoot described several options that the property owner is considering and stated
that he would contact his client to review these options. Coincidentally, an article in
the September 22, 1993 "Woodburn Independent" made reference to this structure
and some of the options possibly being considered by the owner.
Mr. Threefoot agreed that it would be appropriate for the owner, Ms. Fives, to
meet with the Council on the Sept. 27, 1993 hearing continuation date. Staff has
since made appropriate contacts to remind Ms. Fives that it is imperative that she be
present on that date to provide Council with details of a viable approach to resolving
this matter.

SUBJECT: 99E Sidewalk Cost Allocation Negotiations with Oregon State Hwy Division
DATE: September 22, 1993
RECOMMENDATION: A complete recommendation is expected to be presented at the
council meeting of September 27, 1993. (Note: If final negotiations take longer then the
recommendation will be brought to the council on October 11, 1993.)
BACKGROUND: Woodburn City Council held a public hearing to receive input in regard
to 99E sidewalk assessments. The input received from the public indicated that many
property owners, during right-of-way negotiations, had developed an understanding that no
project cost will be assessed against their property. Therefore, I was directed to meet with
the representatives of the State Highway Division and develop a recommendation for
council's review and action.
I have met with representatives of the Highway Division and the negotiations are
progressing. A slight delay has been caused due to the busy schedule of the state during
the end of construction season. However, I believe that the state is willing to come to a
solution that is satisfactory to all parties concerned.
I will provide additional details at the time of council meeting.

THRU: ~hris Childs, City Administrator
FROM: mevin Holly, Director Recreation and Parks
SUBJECT: Woodburn War Memorial Pool Renovation Concepts
DATE:
September 22, 1993
The Woodburn City Council is being asked to review the current status of
Woodburn War Memorial Pool and to choose one of the options for renovation
which are currently being presented. In developing an opinion. I ask the Council
focus on three primary considerations in arriving at a development plan.
1. The quality of the proposed plan. Does the proposed option provide
a comprehensive aquatic experience for all Woodburn Residents?
2. Does the plan make the most economical sense, both in terms of
initial development costs and in terms of long term revenue
generation capacity?
3. Will the concept meet the long term needs of Woodburn residents?
This staff report will focus on three areas which hopefully will assist in making a
logical and educated decision. First, I will briefly discuss a history of Woodburn
War Memorial Pool, second, a discussion on the earthquake of Spring 1993, and
last, an introduction as to choices we are considering.
Also present to provide a presentation of projected projects options and
estimated cost estimates is Mr. Don Carey of Don Carey and Associates and
representatives of the Woodburn Pool Committee.

WOODBURN WAR MEMORIAL POOL HISTORY
Woodburn War Memorial Pool as in its current configuration is 104 feet by 42
feet. The Pool is 40 years old and currently operates during the traditional
summer vacation period of June, July and August. The rectangular
configuration in not conducive to multi-use programming. The pool is located
on the grounds of Settlemier Park, which is Woodburn's oldest park. In many
respects the current location is ideal. The familiarity of Settlemier Park in the
community and the diversity of programming which is offered at Settlemier Park
make the pool location a good one. Current parking is adequate at least 95%
of the time. There are key usage periods when the pool is at capacity and
other park programming is occurring concurrently that parking is inadequate. A
newly developed enhanced facility would need additional parking.
The Pool operates with maintenance being performed by the Parks Division of
the Woodburn Recreation and Parks Department. Staffing is made up of a
summer manager and 12 summer lifeguards. The lifeguards have traditionally
been local youth who have become certified through the Red Cross as both
lifeguards and water safety instructors. Over the years Woodburn War
Memorial Pool has provided summer employment to hundreds of its young
people, both in high school and in college.
The Pool bath house is a building measuring 125 feet by 25 feet. It houses a
mens and women's locker/shower area, a reception area, a mechanical room,
and a staff room. The pool is filtered by a sand filter system. The water is
purified by a liquid chlorine gas cylinder system. This is a common system of
water filtration. The pool operates without a return water system. Water that is
currently spilled over the gutter is drained directly to the sewer. This water
recirculation system does not meet current code. We have been grandfathered
for a number of years in the operation of our pool in regards to its current water
recirculation system.
Woodburn War Memorial Pool does not currently pay for itself. In 1992 War
Memorial Pool reimbursed 38% of its costs in revenue and in 1993, seaSOr:l just
completed, the pool reimbursed at 34%. The pool in its current configuration
and condition normally does not exceed 40% of its operating costs in actual
revenue. Such revenue patterns are contingent to a great degree on weather
conditions in determining summer revenue success rates. An indoor pool would
of course not be contingent upon weather conditions for revenue generation
patterns.
--
r'
10A
'v
The Pool as it currently operates meets community needs in providing a
valuable recreation source for local youth in the summer only. There is some
adult participation in aquatic programs, however in its current design the large
majority of users are children. Pool attendance varies summer to summer, but
on an average, there are over 4,000 open swim participants and over 500 swim
lessons provided at Woodburn War Memorial Pool. These numbers can be
greatly increased with a year round program and added adult participation. The
current pool configuration and poor physical condition of Memorial Pool inhibit
increasing current programming levels.
Woodburn's War Memorial Pool has served the community well for over 40
years and has been an asset to the community. the pool is recognized by long
term Woodburn residents as an important part of Woodburn, both past and
present. However, earthquake damage. health code violations and inadequate
design make it no longer possible to operate in its current design.

EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE/CURRENT POOL CONDITION
Prior to the earthquake Woodburn's War Memorial Pool operated on a year to year basis
in terms of keeping the pool's physical condition operational. Piping system cracking and
surface cracks have caused leakage of water for several years. When water is lost it
creates a number of problems over and above the actual water lossage. For example:
more chemicals are used during the course of the summer needing more to maintain the
water chemical balance. Additionally, more natural gas is used in heating the pool. The
water loss problem has become increasingly severe over the past two years and prior to
the earthquake of 1993 we were losing between 4 and 6 inches of water per day. The
bath-house does not meet current codes for handicap accessibility and is faulty in several
other areas. I won't dwell on all the structural inferior capabilities of the current bath-
house other than to say the structure is long overdue for replacement. The structure is
of such poor quality remodeling does not appear to be an option.
As the result of the March 26 earthquake the current pool became unusable in its current
state. Upon filling the pool to observe water loss we observed that the pool was losing
24 inches of water per night and that over 56,000 gallons of water had been lost from the
pool in a 24 hour period. Several tests were performed to determine the source of the
water loss, including a pressure test of the pipe filling system, and the cutting of view
holes in the deck concrete. It was determined the water lossage was coming from a
variety of sources, including the piping system and the pool shell itself. Federal
Emergency Management (FEMA) officials were being negotiated with during this same
time period. At the recommendation of FEMA officials a pool consultant was brought in
for an analysis of the pool An inspection by Don Carey confirmed that major damages
had occurred as a result of the March 26th earthquake. The City Administrator, myself
and Don Carey negotiated on behalf of the City of Woodburn with FEMA. After
consultation with FEMA the following repairs were found to be necessary because of
earthquake damage and the following funding allowances were allotted by FEMA.

Dear Mr. Holly,
Thank you for meeting with me today at the Woodburn
Memorial swimming Pool to discuss the requirements for
repair of this facility. The following is a general
overview of what I observed and required corrections:
1. As observed, the interior of the pool is cracked
separated from the decking, drain curb, and at
expansion joints. Substantial repair will be
required to seal and resurface these areas.
and
2.
The circulation (distribution) system has been
damaged. with the system pumping, water was noted
emerging through the bottom of the pool surface and
side of the pool. Again, this system will require
major repairs.
3.
Because of the damage to the decks, replacement of
the decks may be required. This would include the
deck drainage system.
Under OAR 333-60-020, the Woodburn Memorial Swimming Pool
will now be required to meet all current standards of
construction and operation for the repair work which wi
be required to open the pool to the public. T e pool
will no longer be exempt from current code or
Gran a ere ampe pans egls ere ngineer) are
required to be submitted to our office with an
application and the pool plan review fee of $300 prior to
any repair work on the pool (application enclosed).
Please keep me informed as to your plans and feel free to
call me at 588-5346 if you have any questions.
Sinc~rely, ~

Background
The State Library Board of Trustees and the State Librarian conceived of targeting the Library
Development Grants on improving children's services following the development of the "Oregon Benchmarks." The
Oregon Legislature approved the "Oregon Benchmarks" - standards for measuring statewide progress and
government performance - in the 1991 session. During the budget development process for the 1993-95 biennium,
the Governor advised state agencies to target programs on achieving the "Oregon Benchmarks." "Urgent"
benchmarks were identified in the area of early childhood development: children should enter kindergarten ready to
succeed in school due to their cognitive development, language and literacy development, physical well-being, and
social! emotional development.
The Oregon Library Association supported the State Library Board's idea of targeting state aid on children
as part of the OLA Legislative Program for the 1993-95 biennium. The Oregon Library Association and the Joint
Interim Committee on Education Library Work Group reaffinned the idea that libraries have an important
contribution to make toward meeting the "readiness to learn" benchmark. As stated in Oregon Library Services
Findings and Recommendations, the report to the Joint Interim Committee on Education, "Local libraries are the
most consistently available public resource for preparing all young children to learn."
On April 7, 1993, governor Barbara Roberts signed Senate Bill 22, the bill targeting on children Oregon's
Library Development State Aid to Public Libraries Grant program. To the best of our knowledge Oregon is the first
state to make such a commitment to public library services for children. The bill amends the current library law
governing financial assistance for public library services, and becomes effective 90 days after the Legislature's
adjournment. SB22 amends Oregon Revised Statutes section 357.740, which defines the purposes of grants under
the program offinancial assistance for public library services. The amended language reads, "The grants shall be
expended to develop public library services for children, with emphasis on preschool children. " Eighty percent of
the appropriated funds are to be distributed on a per child basis. The law clarifies that "the number of children
residing within a jurisdiction that is less than a county shall be estimated using the percentage of children in the total
population in the county. The remaining twenty percent of the funds will still be distributed on an area basis, that is,
on square mileage served. The maintenance of effort requirements in the law remain as before. In order to be
eligible for state aid, a public library must not reduce its operating expenditures to less than the lesser amount
expended in either of the preceding two fiscal years. If a local government has been affected by property tax
limitation resulting from Measure 5, a library may still qualify for a grant, if the percentage of property taxes
dedicated to the library is equal. to the lesser percentage of taxes dedicated to the library in either of the preceding
two fiscal years.
The application process resembles that used in the past except that libraries are requested to describe the purposes
for which the grant will be used.
The Children's Services Improvement GTant funds are designated to be used in accordance with the
provisions of ORS 257.780 and Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 543, Division 40. The attached application
provides a description of the purpose of the grant and certification indicating grant use for establishing, developing,
or improving children's services to children (defined as those children between birth and 14 years of age). A total of
$345,879 is available for grant awards in 1993-94. As indicated, Woodburn's portion will be approximately $1,445.
Additional funds from the Friends of the Library and existing library staff time will be added in order to provide this
program.

SUBJ.:
F.C.C. Certification to Regulate Basic Cable Rates
DATE:
September 21, 1993
RECOMMENDATION: That Council, by motion, authorize the City Administrator
to make preliminary application to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for
authorization to regulate basic cable service rates.
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 1766, our cable franchise "enabling ordinance" enacted
in 1981, included provisions for city regulation on cable television rates and channel
selection within the City of Woodburn. The city's authority concerning any such
regulation was effectively eliminated by the federal Cable Act of 1984 and other
legislation. The recent 1992 Cable Act, designed to foster competition and generally
make the cable TV industry more "pro-consumer", restores some regulatory rights to
cities subject to FCC guidelines.
The 1992 Cable Act allows cities or other "franchising authorities" to become
"certified" with the FCC to regulate cable rates for ~ service. In Woodburn, with
our existing franchisee, Northland Cable Television, this pertains to Northland's 17-
channel "Economy Basic Service" package. It would fiQ1 apply to the additional 22
channels that make up Northland's "Satellite Basic Service" (which can only be
obtained by purchasing the Economy Basic Service as well; in combination, these are
referred to as the "Standard Basic Service" package). However, franchising
authorities or individual subscribers may ask the FCC to regulate these cable services
if they regard the rates as unreasonable. Pay channels (HBO, Cinemax, etc.) and
equipment rented from the company (converter boxes, etc.) would not be subject to
local or FCC regulation.
Northland Cable, along with many cable franchises nationwide, has already
rearranged its fees to come out "revenue-neutral" in the event of local regulation. In
Northland's case, this has resulted in a voluntary reduction in the Economy Basic
Service, effective September 1, 1993, from $14.75 to $9.15 per month. The cost
of the Satellite Basic Service, not subject to local regulation, is effectively increased
to maintain the :tQ12l Standard Basic Service package at $20.80 per month (no net
change).
." if';'
10D
\
Page 2 - F.C.C. Certification to Regulate Basic Cable Rates (9/21/93)
Northland has advised the city, in a letter dated July 26, 1993, that" According
to our estimates, we believe that we are substantiallv in compliance with [the new]
FCC regulations ... [and] that this rate reduction will relieve the burden of imposing
[local] rate regulation" (emphasis added). While we applaud Northland for its
voluntary reduction in Economy Basic Service rates, it is uncertain whether their rates
do, in fact, come it at less than the FCC benchmarks established in the 1992 Cable
Act.
Application for rate regulation certification at this stage does DQ1 automatically
put the city into the local rate regulation business. Following certification, we would
be required to adopt certain policies consistent with FCC regulations and give official
notification to the <;:able company before actual regulation begins. If a second cable
franchise within the city is granted to North Willamette Telecom of Canby, it is likely
that "effective competition" would be created, and rate regulation of local franchisees
would once again revert totally to the FCC.
Some of you may have read an article in the September League of Oregon
Cities "Newsletter" on this topic (included here as Attachment "A"). The article
advocates that all LOC member cities take advantage of the opportunity to certify
with the FCC, describing the process as "simple and painless". An article on page 2
of the "Newsletter" states in part "Without ... certification, your community will be
without adequate tools to prevent unwarranted increases in basic cable rates, and
may be unable to adequately respond to both citizens and the FCC on complaints
regarding non-basic cable rates."
With the amount of attention focused on cable television issues locally, it is
reasonable and prudent that the City of Woodburn should aggressively seek every
opportunity under the 1992 Cable Act to gain any position that may be advantageous
to the citv. Certification for local regulation of rates will provide one such advantage
to the city.
..." ","
Cable rate regulation
begins September 1
Pursuant to the 1992 Cable Act. cities can certify to
regulate "basic- cable rates beginning September 1,
1993, and on the same date cable subsaibers can also
begin filing complaints with the Federal Communica-
tions Commission (FCC) concerning -expanded basic-
rates, Virtually all Oregon cities lack -effective com-
petition- to cable, and thus should be eligible to regu-
late cable rates under the new FCC rules.
To become certified, franchising authorities need only
submit the certification form (FCC Form 328) with the
Fcc. Easy-to-follow instructions appear on the reverse
of the one-page form. The League of Oregon Oties
will soon send the FCC certification and complaint
form to every Oregon city.
OATOA is the Oregon chapter of the National
Association of Telecommunications Officers and
Advisors (NATOA), which is the cable regulation
advisory organization to the National League of Oties.
NA TOA is also distnDuting copies of the FCC forms to
its members, and is assembling a Cable Act implemen-
tation kit containing FCC forms, sample rules, advice
on implementation questions, and other materials
designed to enable local governments to promptly and
fairly fulfill their regulatory responsibilities under the
Cable Act. For further information, contact NATOA
at NLC headquarters in Washington, D.C., (202) 626-
3160.
Oties should also be alerted to a mis/eoding cam-
paign being waged by 1M cable television industry
designed to discourage cities from filing for FCC
certification to regulate cable rates. Many false and
misleading arguments are being put fonh by the in-
dustry. NATOA and OATOA urge all Oregon cities
not to be misled by the cable indusuys continued
campaign against rate regulation. The only way local
governments can adequately protect subsaibers is by
becoming certified to regulate rates.
Without rate regulation certification, your community
will be without adequate tools to prevent unwarranted
increases in basic cable rates. and may be unable to
adequately respond to both citizens and the FCC on
complaints regarding non-basic cable rates. The types
of -informal- understandings or -side-agreements- being
urged by the cable industry are unenforceable, as the
FCC has publicly stated.
Despite cable company assertions to the contrary, the
certification process is simple and painless, the regula-
tion process is not difficult to understand or implement,
Page 2

and the primary burden of compliance with federal
standards remains on the cable operator - not the
franchising authority.

tification forms. please contact Bruce Crest at the

Grant dollars coming
for periodic review
The Department of Land Conservation and Develop-
ment (OLCD) will shonly be announcing the avaB-
ability of grant doUars for local governments as author-
ized by the 1993 Legislature. The Department expects
to emphasize periodic review, with grants for prepara-
tion of periodic review work programs and for work
tasks on the work programs. These funds will likely be
available to cities and counties as they enter the perio-
dic review process.
The Department expects to be able to offer technical
assistance grants for planning work outside oCthe
periodic review process. The Depanment will also
offer grants for alternative dispute resolution, as In the
previous two bienniums. Budget notes by the Legis-
lature will make S2OO,OOO of grant funds available for
small cities and counties and up to S150,OOO to counties
for destination resort planning. The Department will
be announcing the availability of these funds soon.

Addendum to Agreement/Marion Co. Housing Authority
DATE:
September 23, 1993
RECOMMENDATION: Approve accompanying Resolution authorizing" Addendum
to Cooperation Agreement" with Marion County Housing Authority.
BACKGROUND: ORS 456.225 exempts real property owned by a duly authorized
local housing authority from any property taxes or special assessments levied by local
governments. The same statute does, however, allow a housing authority to enter
into arrangements with local jurisdictions for "Payments in Lieu of Taxes" (PIL T).
Such an agreement, the "Cooperation Agreement" was entered into on March
14,1980 between the City of Woodburn and the Marion County Housing Authority.
The Cooperation Agreement, directed toward rehabilitated single family dwellings,
established the mechanism for an annual PILT for such housing units at "10% of
Shelter Rent". Shelter Rent is further defined as the "total of all charges to all tenants
of a Project for dwelling rents and non-dwelling rents (excluding all other income of
such Project), less the cost to the Local Authority of all dwelling and non-dwelling
utilities. "
A companion "Supplemental Agreement", also dated March 14, 1980, reflected
the purchase of nineteen (19) such housing units within the Woodburn city limits
which would be subject to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement. As background
information, the existing PIL T based on 10% of "Shelter Rent" (per the Cooperation
Agreement) for these nineteen units amounted to some $3,400 in both 1992 and
1993.
The present" Addendum to Cooperation Agreement" reflects the purchase of
one additional housing unit to the program, bringing the total to twenty (20). This
house was obtained by MCHA through the county tax foreclosure process, rather than
through use of HUD funds, giving MCHA additionallatitute regarding qualifications of
renters, rents charged, etc.
Also, it should be understood that the Cooperative Agreement does not involve
the Farmdale complex owned by MCHA on W. Lincoln Street. That complex is
governed by a separate Agreement dated April 28, 1975 between the city and MCHA.
In 1993 the city received payments in lieu of taxes of $7,378 for Farmdale.

MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council through City Administrator
FROM: Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Bi-Mart/Shop-N-Kart Fence Issue
DATE: September 15, 1993
On September 13, 1993, under Business From the Audience, the Council heard the
impassioned concerns by citizenry that reside in the Alexandra Drive area regarding
trespassing, garbage and unacceptable social behavior of persons who leave the Bi-
Mart/Shop-N-Kart stores and trespass across private property accessing Alexandra
Drive. The Council, in discussing this with the citizenry, instructed city staff to
require the store owner(s) to erect a 7 foot fence on their westerly and south property
lines which would connect to existing fencing.
Prior to the September 13, 1993 Council meeting I had a telephone conversation with
Dick Hunsaker, representative with Bi-Mart Corporation. Mr. Hunsaker stated he was
proceeding with the project to erect a 5 foot fence along the west and south property
lines of the Bi-Mart property. Dale Carver of Security Fente has been awarded the
contract to complete the work.
Based on the fact that the council was interested in a 7 foot fence I contacted Mr.
Hunsackeron September 14, 1993 to convey to him the Councils wishes. In addition
I told Mr. Hunsaker that with his permission I would contact Mr. Larry Brons of Shop-
N-Kart regarding cost sharing in the building of a chain link fence.
On September 15, 1993 Mr. Hunsaker called me to say that a 6 foot fence could be
erected but a 7 foot fence was cost prohibitive since it would have to be custom
ordered. He wanted city staff to approve this height. His objective was to begin
construction on September 20, 1993. My response was that I would have to secure
Mayor and Council approval for this option prior to him proceeding with any
construction. Tentative informal approval was secured to build the 6 foot fence from
the Mayor and Council. I therefore told Mr. Hunsaker that he could proceed with the
erection of a six foot fence.
An attached site plan identifies that area to be fenced.

SUBJ.:
Background on Citizens' Review Commission
DATE:
September 23, 1993
At the conclusion of the September 13, 1993 Council meeting it was suggested
that some background information might be helpful concerning the Citizens' Review
Commission, which was formed in the early 1980's and functioned sporadically
through the balance of the decade. Discussion centered around whether or not it is
necessary to make membership appointments to facilitate reactivation of the
commission.
Because of more pressing current issues, time has not permitted a thorough
examination of the background of this commission, including interviews with many
people who were directly involved with the CRC and would have first-hand knowledge
of the commission's role in local affairs. I hope to be be able to provide Council with
a staff report on this subject at the October 11, 1993 Council meeting.

OREGON STATE VETERANS' HOME
y
.
FacUity: The Home wi 11 have a 1S1-bed capacity. 1nc1 uded are three
42-bed skilled and semi-skilled care wings, and one 25-bed Alzheimer's
wing. The facility will have a rotating occupancy; when patients'
conditions and care needs improve or, when patients' succumb to their
condition, they will be replaced by other veterans in need.
Philosophy: The philosophy of care at the Oregon Veterans' Home will be
to assist residents in functioning to their highest potential, in the
most independent environment possible. The intent will be to avoid an
institutional atmosphere. This will be accomplhhed by creating a
supportive. therapeutic, homeltke environment that incorporates the
veteran's family, fellow veterans, and staff.
Ouality of Ufe: Veterans who reside in State Veterans' Homes are
recognized for their service and veteran status. They are surrounded by
fellow veterans and volunteers, as an "extended family." Veterans in a
State Home maintain self-esteem. They see themselves as be1ng cared for
through the1r own resources 1n return for the1r service. Veterans tend
to respond very well to the care prov1ded 1n these fac1l1t1es.
General Fund Savings: The State of Oregon supports from 800-1.000
veterans cont1nuous1y through Med1ca1d. Of these. Senior and D1sabled
Services Divis10n currently ident1f1es from 160-200 who meet the
eligibility criteria proposed for the Veterans' Home. Oregon would save
$1,500-$1,600 per month for everyone of these veterans who were cared
for in a Veterans' Home, rather than in a private-sector Medl ca 1 d
facility. This is due to federal VA disability income and a sp~cia1 Per
Diem that veterans are ent1tled to in a State Veterans' Home, but not in
a private facility. This presents a potential General Fund savings of
$1.2-$1.4 million annually through development of the Oregon Veterans'
Home.

city or county. This partnership approach has recently been successful
in Minnesota and Alabama.
If the above Is not accomplished. the Director of ODVA Is authorized to
issue Certificates of Participation (C.O.P.) in the amount necessary.
Repayment of the debt would be made through General Fund appropriation.
from that amount that would have been required by Senior and Disabled
Services Division to support those veterans through Medicaid. An example
of a 20 year C.O.P. would require approximately $500.000 annual debt
service. The State would realize an approximate $700.000 annual General
Fund Medicaid cost-avoidance savings beyond the debt repayment during
this period.
Due to the income flow of fed~ra1 VA disability Income. VA Per ~iem. and
Soda1 Security that the state Home resident veterans are ent1tled to,
the Veterans' Home will be operated self-sufficiently once full occupancy
(95~) Is reached. Several states are operating such facilities
self-sufficiently. In addition, a Trust Fund will be establ\shed by
Director Mangls to accept donations, bequeaths, and revenues not required
for operational expenses, since such facilities may not "profit." This
Fund will serve as a "back-up" in the event operational revenues
experience a down-fall.
