The purpose of the workshop was to discuss funding options available for the
construction of the proposed indoor pool facility.
0132 Don Carey, Pool Consultant, advised the group that certain actions need to be
taken by the Council and proponents of the pool facility within a relatively
short period of time if a bond levy is to be placed on the March 1994 ballot.
The Council needs to pass a Resolution which would authorize the staff to
apply for a 1 % interest loan from the Rural Development Administration and
various grants or donations from foundations and local community
organizations. A public hearing will be required to receive input from the local
residents on the proposed project. Additionally, letters of support from the
Chamber, School District, and other organizations who can substantiate the
need for the pool must be obtained as part of the documentation submitted for
the loan and foundation grants. Finally, a fund-raising committee needs to be
formed to solicit local donations whether it be money, materials, or labor.

He also provided the group with a Financial Planning and Bond Request packet
which outlined estimated construction costs, operational costs and revenue
generation, community benefits, and foundation sources.
Pool Committee Chairman Flurry Stone suggested that the proposed bond levy
be an amount necessary to come up with the total cost of the project. The
FEMA grant will provide the City with approximately $200,000 towards the
project leaving an estimated balance for the project of $1,776,000.
Additional grants or donations received prior to the measure being filed with
the County in January would further reduce the requested bond levy amount.
Mr. Carey stated that the Rural Development Administration loan, if approved,
would be for a minimum of $1,000,000, 1 % interest rate, over a 30 year
period. Approval or denial of the loan applications would an estimated 60 days
from the date of submission. The diversity of the community will help the City
to receive a favorable review, however, very few loans have been given by this
agency for recreational purposes. In applying for grants, broad-based support
from the community is one of the criteria foundation trustees take into
consideration when awarding grants. He also suggested other ways of
obtaining donations through cash contributions and project materials/labor.
0771 Discussion was held regarding community support for the project along with
the ability to pass a bond issue. It was noted that the Park Fund has limited
cash available to pay towards the improvement project and authorization to sell
bonds would be the revenue source to generate property taxes without
jeopardizing operational funds currently received under the Measure 5
limitations. Funds through corporate grants and foundations are available,
however, Mr. Carey stated that, in his opinion, the most the City would be able
to receive is between $200,000 and $300,000.
Discussion was also held on the potential phase-in of the covered pool complex
in the event the initial bond levy did not pass. However, the majority of the
meeting participants were willing to work diligently towards passage of the
bond issue and to encourage other local residents to do likewise.
Joan Garren, representing Woodburn Together, stated that their non-profit
organization would be willing to set-up a separate account for acceptance of
foundation funds since this project would qualify under their by-laws. If this
approach is taken, they would enter into some form of an agreement with the
City to insure that the money is used for the swimming pool.
Discussion was held on the types of committees that needed to be formed to
meet local election law requirements and disseminate information to the voters
on the benefits of the covered pool.
Mr. Carey stated that he would assist the staff in preparing the necessary
resolution for Council consideration which would allow the staff to apply for
the low-interest loan and solicit donations through various foundations.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REPORT.
Susan King reminded the Council of the October 26th tour
sponsored by the Chamber which will visit the City's
Wastewater Treatment Plant facility and the Parks & Recreation
Department. Dinner will be served at the Community Center
following the tour.
WOODBURN COMEBACK CAMPAIGN REPORT.
Councilor Figley stated that their organization sponsored a
fall clean-up in the downtown area last saturday. She
expressed her appreciation to those individuals who
participated in the event.
WASTEWATER ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT.
Councilor Mitchell, Committee chairman, read a report to the
Council outlining major questions that need to be addressed by
the City within the next few months. Areas of concern include
growth within the community, regional planning, and
construction of a new plant within five years of the State's
adoption of pollution limits for pUdding River. Additionally,
fourteen entities within the PUdding River Basin have formed a
consortium to fund a study which would address the problems of
sludge disposal, septic tank waste treatment, and the hiring
of laboratory personnel. He invited the Council and members
of the public to attend the Committee meetings which are held
on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Council
Chambers.
Preston Tack, 2197 Camilla Way, read a letter into the record
expressing his opinion that the government should consider the
formation of a migrant worker management program that would
give migrant workers who have legally entered the United
States the opportunity to have inter-regional ties for the
purpose of longer term employment. He also objected to the
current living conditions of some migrant workers and
suggested that the government become more involved in locating
sites for portable housing, class rooms, and clinics.
Additionally, any costs incurred for this type of program be
paid for by the employers involved rather than subsidized by
the government. He stated that he has sent letters to our
State and Federal Congressional leaders on this issue and he
suggested that the citizen's Review Commission could also
address this issue with their findings being submitted to the
Council which, in turn, can be used to pursue state and
federal legislation.
Randy Scott, AFSCME Local 642 representative, expressed his
concern with the status of the current labor negotiations. He
read a letter to the Council which had been signed by the
membership requesting Council assistance in concluding the
Page 2 - Council Meeting Minutes, October 11, 1993

negotiations within a reasonable period of time. He stated
that the Union had accepted the Factfinder's report which was
similar to the benefits currently provided to non-union
employees. Even though the Factfinder suggested a wage study
for female positions, this would be at the expense of the
Union. In attendance at the meeting were a majority of the
Union members.
0650 Dick Melis briefly discussed his grievances with the Council
regarding the Municipal Court and Judge. In regards to the
Court, he felt a written apology was due to his wife since she
had received a postcard advising her of a delinquent payment
amount when she had already paid her fines. Regarding Judge
zyryanoff, he stated that his wife had received a Improper Use
of Seat Belt citation and had subsequently gone to her doctor
to receive a written excuse based on the Judge's statement
that the citation would be dismissed if the document was
obtained. Last week, she provided the Judge with the
document, however, the Judge stated that she did not remember
making the statement and would not dismiss the citation.
Mayor Kelley stated that he had spoken with Mrs. Melis on
Thursday and had advised her at that time that she would get a
response. He reassured Mr. Melis that a response was
forthcoming from the City.
0818 CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING - DANGEROUS BUILDING AT 347 N.
FRONT STREET (SALUD MEDICAL CLINIC).
The Mayor continued the pUblic hearing at 7:31 p.m..
Al Nunez, Executive Director for Salud, stated that the clinic
has been trying to secure a Public Health Service grant for
land and a new building. It is Salud's intent not to
rehabilitate the structure located at 3~7 N. Front, however,
he has spoken to the Migrant 'Indian Coalition regarding
assistance from various agencies for application of state
Economic Development Block funds to rehabilitate the site for
their day-care facility.
Councilor Figley stated that her main concern is to have
something done with the building rather than letting it to
continue to deteriorate.
Councilor Mitchell questioned how structurally sound the
building is and whether or not there is a need for the third
story.
Community Development Director Goeckritz stated that the
building is safe as it now stands to people on the outside but
internally the building needs rehabilitation. There has not
been a thorough review of costs and it may be necessary to
come back to the Council to authorize only a two-story
building. However, tearing down the third-story may
jeopardize the integrity of the adjoining buildings.
Al Nunez agreed with Director Goeckritz's statement and added

that it is possible to put the mechanical equipment on the
roof of a two-story building. Rehabilitation of the building
will also require that it be brought up to ADA (American with
Disabilities Act) and Earthquake standards at an estimated
cost of $200,000 to $300,000.
Discussion was held regarding removal of the building from the
dangerous building list. Director Goeckritz stated that wind
shear and environmental impacts such as rain will continue to
deteriorate the building over time, therefore, it should not
be removed from the list.
Al Nunez stated that he hoped to finish lease negotiations on
a temporary site within the next 30 days and after that he is
willing to try and to work with other interested agencies
towards the rehabilitation of the building. He stated that he
was also willing to contact FEMA (Federal Emergency Management
Administration) regarding additional funding for repairs. He
also expressed his willingness to keep the city updated on his
progress.
Mayor Kelley stated that the building cannot remain in its
current condition for a long period of time and the only other
alternative to rehabilitation is to demolish the building.
FIGLEy/SIFUENTEZ.... continue the public hearing until the
first regular meeting in November. The motion passed
unanimously.
CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC BEARING - DANGEROUS BUILDING AT 479 N.
FRONT STREET (SMART SHOP).
Mayor Kelley continued the public hearing at 7:51 p.m..
Director Goeckritz stated that the contractors have been
removing the facing of the structure. Engineering plans were
received last Friday and it is anticipated that they will be
able to proceed with the construction within the next few
days.
FIGLEy/SIFUENTEZ.... continue the public hearing on this
bui1ding unti1 November 8, 1993 as per staff recommendation.
The motion passed unanimously.
HIGHWAY 99E SIDEWALK ASSESSMENT (TABLED BUSINESS).
MITCHELL/FIGLEy.... remove the Highway 99E sidewalk assessment
from the table. The motion passed unanimously.
Councilor Mitchell questioned if there would be any fees or
penalties to the property owners if the City were to continue
to delay this issue until the state has responded to the
City'S concerns.
Public Works Director Tiwari stated that the Department of
Transportation has made an offer, however, he feels that it is
in the best interest of the property owners and city to wait
another two weeks so that negotiations can continue on this
issue.

CITIZEN'S REVIEW COMMISSION REPORT (TABLED BUSINESS).
MITCHELL/SIFUENTEZ.... remove this item from the table.
Councilor Figley expressed her concern regarding the
complexity of this issue and its potential impact since it is
a policy decision. She requested that no action be taken
until all 6 members of the Council are present.
FIGLEY/ .... table the issue until the next regular meeting.
The motion died for lack of a second.
On roll call vote to remove it from the table, the vote was 2-
2 with Councilors Figley and Galvin voting nay. Mayor Kelley
voted aye to pass the motion.
The Council reviewed the memos from Administrator Childs and
City Attorney Shields which provided background information on
the formation of the commission and a legal opinion as to its
continued existence.
Councilor Mitchell expressed his opinion that items brought
during this meeting i.e. the migrant issue and the court issue
could be valid items for discussion by the commission. He
also questioned the Department of Justice's position on this
issue since they have not pursued additional meetings with the
City.
Administrator Childs stated that a legal argument can be made
that the process has expired since the process arose out of a
focused issued i.e. a perceived cultural police situation.
Councilor Sifuentez stated that she is more concern with
getting citizen involvement by having them being appointed to
a commission which would address the complaints citizens may
have rather than those citizens directly approaching the
Councilors. She also stated that she did not want to have the
Department of Justice involved in this commission.
Councilor Figley disagreed with some of the statements made by
other Council members citing that it is the Councilor's
responsibility to hear the problems being addressed by the
citizens.
Mayor Kelley stated that, in his opinion, the ordinance has a
much broader interpretation and he encouraged the Council to
look favorably upon the appointment of the commission.
Following a lengthy discussion on this issue,
SIFUENTEZ/FIGLEy.... table until we have a full quorum,
hopefully at the next meeting, and decide at that point how we
are having this committee.
Mayor Kelley also wanted to bring to the Council's attention
that the Review Commission was having difficulty in getting a
quorum in 1988 with the reason being that one-half of the
positions were vacant.
On roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously.

area, the development of one or two ballfields. The City will
be responsible for infrastructure costs while donations from
the Rotary and other private donors will pay for the
ballfields and playground equipment.
Bill Pyle, a local resident interested in the project, stated
that he has recently received confirmation from a Training
Program located in Pendleton, Oregon, that they are willing to

assistance he is receiving from local residents.

Commissioner Bauer ask staff when a site plan would be presented on the

marketing goes on the PUD (Miller Farm). It could possibly be by June or July,
1994.
Commissioner Warzynski ask about the golf course going ahead.

proceed, however no construction of facilities could occur prior to actual
approval from the commission.
Tim Stetson, 13310 SW Fox Run, Lake Oswego, President of the Oregon Golf
Association, stated that he wished to relate to the Commission how excited the
OGA was about bringing the golf course to the Woodburn community. They
hoped to stimulate some economic improvement to the Woodburn economy.
Vice Chairperson Warzynski asked if there was anyone who wished to speak
for this project. There were none. She then asked if there was anyone who
wished to speak against this project. There were none. She closed the public
hearing.

condition that he move the proposed addition back one foot due to the setback
requirement.
Commissioner Warzynski asked staff about the sentence in the staff report that
states "upon inspection of the existing shop found that the improvements listed
above were not in place."
Staff stated that upon looking up to see if there had been any other land use
action on this piece of property found that some of the improvements from the
previous proposal had not been done. She stated that before a building permit
will be issued the previous conditions must be met.
Staff stated that the applicant could speak to this issue.
Jim Gregoroff, 1315 James Street, the applicant, stated that the small water
faucet was there, it is located on the east side of the building, the curbing had
not been done due to waiting for the addition, logs had been put in the parking
area to keep cars off the grass. Marking the parking area got left in the dust,
due to some financial stress. But with the new addition he felt that this could
be done. The tire stops would be added. He addressed the landscaped area.
Commissioner Warzynski asked the applicant if he shared the driveway with the
bowling alley.
The applicant stated that the owner of the bowling alley did not wish to share
a driveway.
Commissioner Bauer ask Mr. Gregoroff what the time frame for this project
was.
Mr. Gregoroff answered that he hoped to start the first part of November and
finished by January 1.

been a change of ownership of the subdivision. The new owners are placing
manufactured homes on the lots and this is why the lot line adjustments have
been requested.
D. Partition Case #93-05

APPLICANT: Earl Doman
2330 E. Lincoln Rd
Woodburn, Oregon 97071
II NATURE OF THE APPLICATION:
The applicant is requesting a Zone Map Amendment in order to rezone four parcels
of property located on Young Street.
III RELEVANT FACTS:
The site is located adjacent to the Heritage Arms Apartments located at 669 and 673
Young Street. The property can be idsntified specifically on Marion County Assessor
Map 5S, 1 W, Section 18AD, Tax Lo~s 4100, 4200, 4300,.4400. The applicant
intends to build additional multi-family housing once the Zone Change takes place.
The Woodburn Comprehensive Plan Map designates this property as Residential and
allows 12.or more units per acre. Therefore, the applicant's property has already been
planned for multi-family development and it is the applicant's desire to now request
a zone map amendment in order to comply with the Comprehensive Plan Map. The
applicant is requesting a Zone Map Amendment only at this time. At such time he
wishes to develop, he will be required to go through Site Plan Review. At that time,
surrounding property owners will be notified again of any new construction.
IV RELEVANT APPROVAL CRITERIA AND FINDINGS:
A. Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
B. Woodburn Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 5 Permits and Enforcement
Chapter 6 Planning Commission
Chapter 7 Public Hearings
Chapter 15 Zone Change Procedures
Chapter 22 RS-Single Family Residential
Chapter 26 RM-Multiple Family

Staff:
The applicant has complied with Comprehensive Plan by addressing the relevant
approval criteria identified in the Zoning Ordinance. The subject property is
already planned for Multi-Family development. The applicant is rezoning the
property to conform with the Comprehensive Plan Map. At such time as the
applicant applies for Site Plan Review, Residential Land Development Policies
must be addressed.

Woodburn Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 15 Zone Change Procedures"
Staff:
The applicant has submitted the 't'lecessary documents as required to process a
Zone Change. The applicant has provided statements that address the following
approval criteria: See Exhibit A.
1. Show that the request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff: As indicated in this staff report, the subject property is already
planned for multi-family.
2. There is a public need for this change.
Staff: The city is currently actively seeking to increase its Multi-Family
inventory to comply with statewide planning goals.
3. That need is best met by this proposal.
Staff: The need will be met by this proposal in that the applicant is
complying with the Comprehensive Plan, and the Zone Change will increase
the city's inventory of Multi-Family.
4. There is no other available and appropriately zone land in the vicinity.
Staff: The applicant already owns the subject property and the adjacent
Heritage Arms Apartments. The subject property was bought knowing that
future development would bei interconnected with the existing apartments.
5. Petitioner cannot make a rea'Sonable use of the land as it is currently zoned.
Staff: The applicant could build single-family housing or a variety of other
allowed uses in the RM Zone, but the applicant feels that his property is best
suited to multi-family development and is allowed by the Comprehensive Plan
designation.
V COMMENTS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS:
At such time as the applicant requests Site Plan Review, various other departments
will have a chance to review preliminary architectural, engineering, landscape and site
plans.
VI CONCLUSION:
The applicant is requesting a Zone Map Amendment. The subject property is
designated for Residential use more than 12 units per acre on the Comprehensive Plan
Map. The zoning map currently has the property zoned for RS Single Family.
Approval of this request will bring these parcels of land into conformance with the
city's Comprehensive Plan Map. Onte the zone change is 'approved, the subject
property will be rezoned to RM Multi-Family residential. Upon review, the applicant
will be better able to determine the actual number of units he will be allowed to build,
taking into consideration such things as parking requirements, setbacks, landscaping,
and lot coverage. The applicant will be required to submit plans and receive site plan
----- -approval before any new constructiOn-Of altemation takes place on any of the Heritage
Arms Apartments.

I have owned VIA contract these properties since 1984. At the time
of purchas~Mr. E~icson, prior owne~ said the property was zoned
multi family. It was my intention from the beginning to add more
units to utilize the vacant land. It has come to my attention that
the landfor the proposed construction is zoned multi family on the
comprehensive land use plan but single family on the city zone map.
I am requesting that the city consider changing the city zone map
to conform to the comprehensive land use plan and at the same time
approve the site plan. The following information is submitted to
support the request:
A. Zone Map Amendment
1. I believe the change will conform to the
comprehensive plan, of the city because the LCDC
proposed use of the property shows on their map
(Exhibit I) as multi family.
2. There is a public need for more apartments in the
Woodburn area because of the high number of farm
workers competing for low income housing. There was
a proposed multi family zone change, encouraged by
the city, on East Lincoln Street. To my knowledge
the residents objected. The city has indicated, that
there is a shortage of multi family zoned land.
.'-
T'
8A
~
3. Our apartments that already exist on the property
serve LOW INCOME people and we have always had a
long waiting list. The New construction will serve
the same segment of people. It is not "Low income
housing" but is designed to keep the rent low.
4. This proposed property is in an area already fully
developed so no other pro'perty in the area is
available that I own or could buy.
5. Since apartments occupy the adjoining property to
the west, the vacant land would not adapt to any
other use including single family dwellings. It is
off the street and in my opinion (owner) could only
be used for expansion of the apartments. Each of
the prior owners had intended the same use.

Dear Mr. Goeckritz;
We would appreciate your consideration of a zone change on
the parcel of land located on A street just off of Bradley.
Presently this parcel is zoned single family dwellings and we
would like it rezoned to multi-family dwellings.
This parcel contains approximately 3 acres of land and
"'ould lend itself to nice mUlti-family units arranged around a
cul-de-sac.
We are presently in the process of purchasing this property
pending this zone change. We have explored ,the possibility of
single family dwellings and it was not economically feasible. We
also know that their is a great need for good multi-family
dwellings.

Public Hearing - Proposed Sale of Property to Woodburn
School District No. 103
DATE:
October 21, 1993
On August 20, 1993, staff received a written offer from the Woodburn School
District to purchase approximately 5.03 Acres of vacant land owned by the City of
Woodburn located just north of the Woodburn High School. The subject property,
collectively referred to as the city's "Glatt Property", consists of lots 3 and 4 of the
Glatt Subdivision. Lot 3 is presently zoned PE (Public/Private Education Facilities),
while lot 4 is zoned PA (Public Amusement/Recreation).
A map of the subject property is attached as Exhibit II A". A copy of the School
District's offer letter is attached as Exhibit "B". Additional discussions between city
and school district officials have further clarified prospective terms of sale if the
Council determines, following the public hearing, to proceed with the sale of this
property. Proposed terms of sale are essentially as follows: Cash sale for a total of
$137,430. Purchaser (School District) will assume obligation of outstanding street
assessment liens against the property amounting to approximately $10,000 (exact
amount to be determined at closing). Net proceeds to the City of Woodburn will be
the $137,430 purchase price ~ the city's share of closing costs.
It has previously been determined that the Council has the authority to dispose
of this real property under the authority of 271.330, but can also conduct a public
hearing on the matter under ORS 221.725. This public hearing is consistent with
ORS 221.725 and notice of the hearing was published in the Woodburn Independent
on October 20, 1993. It has also been previously determined that this property was
received and accepted by the city in January, 1987 under the terms of the city's
mandatory park dedication ordinance. Therefore, any proceeds from the sale of such
property must be used for park or recreation purposes or, in the alternative, deposited
in the city's Parks Capital Improvement Fund.
If, after public hearing, Council determines that it is in the best interests_of the
city to sell this property, staff recommendation for the utilization of proceeds is as
follows: Not less than $66,350 be dedicated toward an upgraded aquatic facility,
with the balance dedicated toward Centennial Park. The aquatic facility commitment
"!"'" r'
8e
Page 2 - Public Hearing/Glatt Property (10/21/93)
guarantees, at minimum, the city's 25% share to match some $199,048 made
available by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) toward pool
reconstruction. The Centennial Park commitment will provide funds for infrastructure
construction to faciiitate construction of various other park components made possible
by community donations and pledges. Final details would be worked out by Council,
the Park Board and staff upon completion of a sale.
It is our understanding that the sale of this property will benefit Woodburn
School District No. 103 by creating a larger contiguous parcel of land that will
enhance the district's plans for school expansion. Specifics of such plans, as they
have been, or will be developed, would be up to the district's officials.
For purposes of the October 25, 1993 public hearing, the issue to be addressed
is "Should the Woodburn City Council sell this orooertv to the Woodburn School
District (based on the terms and oarticulars as described above)?"
Since a public hearing of this nature is rare, and is not a land-use hearing in the
sense of having an "applicant", a suggested hearing format is provided as follows:
1. Convene Public Hearing
2. Staff Report/Summary
3. Statement (if any) by School District
4. Public Testimony in favor of sale
5. Public Testimony opposed to sale
6. Summation (Staff/School Officials)
7. Close Public Input portion of Hearing
8. Council discussion/deliberations
9. Council Action on Issue
(continued)

The Council's options in respect to action to be taken on the issue may include

is no longer needed for public use by the city, and direct staff
to follow up on details of sale.
2. Refuse the School District's offer.

Staff Report on School District Offer to Purchase City-
Owned Real Property
DATE:
October 21, 1993
Woodburn School District No. 103 has made an offer to purchase lots 3 and
4 of Glatt Subdivision (totalling 5.03 Acres), owned by the City of Woodburn, for the
sum of $137,430. Further particulars and details of the proposed sale are described
in a separate memo entitled .Public Hearing - Proposed Sale of Property to Woodburn
School District No. 103 (also dated October 21, 1993). The purpose of this staff
report is to examine the market value of the property and to delineate the reasons that
it would be in the city's interest to sell this property.
MARKET VALUE
ORS 271.330 authorizes a public entity to relinquish title to real property to
another public entity without regard to value or consideration, so long as the property
continues to be used for a public use. A separate process, described in ORS
221.725, is utilized by the city to sell real property to private parties, and does require
an appraisal or other evidence of the market value of the property to be sold.
The subject property in this instance has not been formally appraised for
purposes of this proposed sale. This property ~ appraised in 1990 at a value of
$101,800. The School District's $137,430 offer for the property is based on a value
of $27,322 per acre. This is the same price paid by the School District to Chemeketa
Community College in August, 1993 for Glatt Subdivision lot 5, which lies
immediately east of the subject property. Staff believes it likely that the Chemeketa
transaction would provide the only valid comparable sale data if a new appraisal was
initiated. Additional value that might be achieved through an additional appraisal must
be weighed against the cost of the appraisal itself. Quotes for performing an appraisal
of this property range from $2,000 - $3,500. Staff believes the School District's
offered price to be a fair one that accurately reflects the property's market value.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The sale of this property, as proposed by the School District, can be seen as
being in the public interest by virtue of any or all of the following considerations:
1"'"
,..
I
8e
Page 2 - Staff Report/School District Offer {10/21/93}
1. The orooertv is not being used for the ouroose oriQinallv intended. As early
as 1982, this property was visualized as a combination of city-owned fitness center
and shared parkland/playgroundspace. Later, there was interest in locating an aquatic
center in the property. Similarly, adjacent properties (School District/Chemeketa CC)
have not been developed in the manner originally intended.
2. The city has no oractical use for this prooertV for Park & Recreation
ourooses at the oresent time. The city believes that its parkland inventory is adequate
at the present time. Ballot Measure 5 and other budgetary considerations have made
the maintenance of existing city parks more difficult. The Park Board has most
recently recommended that any additional energy, effort and resources be channeled
into the multi-purpose Centennial Park located on Parr Road. Similarly, efforts are
presently under way to construct an improved aquatic facility at the present location
of the Woodburn War Memorial Pool at Settlemier Park. It should also be noted that
it has been the School District's policy, whenever possible, to make its facilities
available for public recreational use.
3. The city has no other oractical use for this orooertv at the oresent time.
Due to the location and somewhat difficult accessibility of this property, it is not
conducive to situate facilities to house existing city operational functions at this
location, and the city has no plans to do so. Furthermore, the city does not have the
financial wherewithal in the forseeable future for any facility to be constructed on
unimproved property of this nature.
4. The city does have immediate needs that can benefit from the oroceeds of
a sale of this orooertv. As recommended, the monetary proceeds of this sale, if
approved by Council, would be divided in some manner to benefit two ongoing
projects, the aquatic center {swimming pool} and Centennial Park. Both projects carry
immediate financial resource needs, which would be positively impacted in this
instance. Sale proceeds ..m..IJ.St be used for Park & Recreation purposes (refer to
companion memo), and it has most recently been the city's policy to accept cash from
developers rather than additional land in lieu of fees.
5. The sale of this orooerty would be for a public use which will enhance anv
exoansion plans contemolated bv the Woodburn School District. The School District
is seeking to purchase this property for needed building expansion upon passage of
a school construction bond issue.
6. There are other ootential obligations to the city if this orooerty is retained.
Even if the property remained undeveloped, the existing street assessments would
continue to be paid by the city. Likewise, future costs could be incurred in connection
with extension of the frontage street situated to the north of the property.

Negotiated Funding Recommendation for 99E Sidewalk Cost Allocation Problem
October 21, 1 993
RECOMMENDATION: Approve by motion the contents of Action 1 and Action 2 as outlined
below.
Action 1: City Council accept sidewalk funding formula negotiated between city staff and
Oregon State Highway Division that allocates 90 percent, i.e. $56,700, of the cost
of sidewalk installation to state and 10 percent, Le. $6,300, to the city.
(Note: There will be no cost to the property owners.)
Action 2: Authorize Mayor to sign a letter of thtmk~ for State Highway Division's
cooperative approach in resolving the problem.
There has been considerable discussion on the 99E sidewalk cost allocation issue in the past,
therefore, only brief information will be provided in this memo.
On March 26, 1992, at the request of the State Highway Division, the City of Woodburn
forwarded $63,000 to cover the construction cost of sidewalks where no sidewalks existed
previously. The city intended and expected this expense to be recovered by assessment of
the benefitted properties. However, it appears that state right-of-way agents, unaware of the
city/state agreement and having no knowledge of the city's method of recovering costs, did
make certain comments to the property owners that created misunderstanding.
After the public hearing of August 9, 1993, I was asked to negotiate with the representatives
of Oregon State Highway Division (ODOT) and recommend a resolution to the current
problem. As expected, ODOT representatives have been very cooperative with the city and
the final agreement was reached on October 19, 1993. The city staff, as well as the
representatives of the state, hope that the resolution of this problem will bring into focus the
beneficial aspects of the 99E project and the cooperative working relationship of the agencies.
No doubt the resolution of future problems will depend on the working relationships of today.
All of us know that Oregon State Highway Division has spent over three million dollars to
resolve 99E traffic problems. This improvement has made the north approach to the city
much cleaner and decent looking. And now the State Highway Department, in partnership
with the city, is willing to compromise and correct the misunderstanding created during right-
of-way negotiations.
In the near future, the State Highway Division will return $56,700 from city's $63,000
advance deposit after necessary paperwork has been completed.

Woodburn Citizens' Review Commission
DATE:
October 7, 1993
At the conclusion of the September 13, 1993 Council meeting it was suggested
that background information would be helpful concerning the Woodburn Citizens
Review Commission, This was in response to Mayor Kelley's request of Councilors
for names of possible appointees for this commission.
This matter was revisited during the Council's September 27, 1993 meeting,
at which time Mayor Kelley presented a list of tentative appointments to the
commission, along with a list of issues he believed the WCRC could have dealt with
during the past year. The matter was tabled by the Council pending additional
information, including input from the City Attorney.
The City Attorney's Memorandum Opinion No. 93-03 concerning this issue,
dated October 4, 1993, is attached as Exhibit" A" and a synopsis of the commission's
historical background that I have prepared is attached as Exhibit "B". A copy of
Ordinance No. 1865, which legally created the Woodburn Citizens Review
Commission (WCRC) in April, 1984, is attached as Exhibit "C". You will note that
this copy includes any amendments made to the original ordinance by subsequent
Ordinances No. 1895 (Sept., 1984), No. 1926 (Sept., 1985) and No. 1946 (April,
1986). In addition, a set of "Standing Rules" for the WCRC were also developed
during the course of the commission's existence, a copy of which are attached as
Exhibit "D". Finally, copies of the documents provided to the Council by Mayor Kelley
on September 27, 1993 are included as Exhibits "E" and "F" , respectively, since they
had not previously been included in a Council agenda packet.
Section 8 of Ordinance 1865 called for the review of the WCRC twelve months
after its formation and annually thereafter. This was to be accomplished by a review
meeting convened bv the U.S. Deoartment of Justice, to include representatives of
the city and CUJ. According to available records, such a review was never carried
out. Failure to follow through in regard to this section of the ordinance raises
questions as to whether the WCRC even legally exists at the present time. This issue
is explored in depth in City Attorney Shields' Memorandum Opinion #93-03.
The history and facts available appear to demonstrate that the intent of forming
the CRC was to create a human relations and human rights body to monitor
..,.... r
98

interaction between the police department and the community at that time. It does
not appear that it was ever intended as an "oversight committee" to deal with routine
city functions such as labor negotiations, bidding practices, etc. It is for this type of
oversight that the city employs a City Administrator who, in turn, is directly
responsible to the elected governing body of the city, the City Council.
Some practical considerations the Council may want to consider in evaluating
its options regarding the WCRC include the following:
1. Have changes In recent years mitigated some of the concerns for which the
WCRC was originally formed? As of February, 1993, fully 20% of the Woodburn
Police Department's sworn personnel were of Hispanic ancestry and some 30% of the
police force is now bilingual (English/Spanish). Awareness of the Hispanic (and
Russian) cultures is now promoted within the Police Department. Community groups
have been formed to focus on some of the city's problem areas (groups such as
Woodburn Together, Woodburn Comeback Campaign, Farmworker Housing
Development Corp., etc.). On September 28, 1993, a second maior community forum
was held to address gang activity, which has evidenced itself as a major concern of
the 1990's.
2. Is there a need for the WCRC at the present time? The Woodburn Police
Department has worked diligently to foster human relations even-handedly as it deals
with the community on a day-to-day basis. The department cooperates to the
greatest extent possible with organizations such as PCUN, Woodburn Latin American
Club, Cinco de Mayo organizers and the Mexican Fiesta Committee. Due in part to
this openness and cooperation, a more recent police-involved fatal shooting of an
Hispanic suspect on January 20, 1992 did not generate an outcry for reconvening of
the WCRC. Nevertheless, misunderstandings and allegations concerning the police
department do surface from time to time; most being resolved internally in the most
expeditious manner possible.
3. Is the WCRC even legally valid at this point In time? The language in Sec.
8 of Ordinance 1865, as discussed in the City Attorney's Memorandum Opinion,
suggests that there is, at minimum, some question in this regard. A companion
question to consider might be, "Would the U.S. Department of Justice have any
interest in the continuation of the WCRC at this point?"
4. Is there a monetary cost to the city regarding the WCRC? City records
indicate that, due to the nature of the issues dealt with when the WCRC did function,
the attendance of the City Administrator, Chief of Police, a secretary and,
occasionally, the City Attorney, was necessary at each WCRC meeting. This
combination, in today's dollars, equates to over $105 per hour, not counting
'r ,..
98
Page 3 - WCRC/Memo (10/7/93)
miscellaneous research and preparation time, publication of notices, preparation of
minutes, etc., on the part of any of these officials individually. Equally important is
the perceived value of the time devoted to such an effort by the volunteer members
of the commission. City staff's ability to take on additional tasks or "projects" at the
present time is hampered by the limitation on resources imposed by Ballot Measure
5. Each and every additional task must be very carefully thought out in terms of its
comparative value in respect to other functions already being performed.
5. Will there be a need for the WCRC in the future? The types of issues that
the WCRC dealt with in the 1980's are often part of the "growing pains" of a city or
community as it learns how to deal with awareness and understanding. Woodburn
"had its day" during that period and undoubtedly needed the perspective that the
WCRC was able to provide. We may, or may not, need such a process again.
Periodically, other cities go through similar processes. The City of Independence, for
instance, has recently been forced to deal with questions, concerns and issues very
similar to what Woodburn and the WCRC once dealt with. The City of Newport, with
a rapidly growing Hispanic population employed in its seafood processing industry, is
also in the process of learning to come to grips with cultural issues. There is
presently debate in Salem concerning the role and authority of that city's Human
Rights Commission, which has existed for over a decade.
In conclusion, the Council is faced with a policy decision in this matter, as
suggested in the City Attorney's Memorandum Opinion No. 93-03, with the options
reasonably summarized as follows:
1. Repeal Ordinance 1865.
2. Reactivate Woodburn Citizens Review Commission (WCRC) under
the guidance of the U.S. Department of Justice, with input from
representatives of Community United for Justice, former WCRC members
and other affected community groups; giving consideration to revision of
the ordinance to provide a more specific mandate for the commission.

MEMORANDUM OPINION NO. 93-03
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CHRIS CHILDS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: N. ROBERT SHIELDS, CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: REACTIVATION OF CITIZENS REVIEW COMMISSION:
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
DATE: October 4, 1993
BACKGROUND:
The Woodburn Citizens Review Commission was originally created in 1984 by the
passage of Ordinance 1865. The Commission met periodically during the mid 1980's
and held its last meeting in July, 1988. Although the terms of the Commission
members have now expired, the ordinance has never been repealed by the City
Council.
The issue now faced by the city is whether the Commission should be reactivated.
If the city does decide to reactivate the Commission, a related question is whether the
ordinance should be amended prior to reactivation. My opinion has been requested
as to the legal considerations involved.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION NO.1: AN ARGUMENT CAN BE MADE THAT ORDINANCE
1865 HAS LEGALLY EXPIRED.
Section 8 of Ordinance 1865 provides as follows:
Review and Revision. Twelve months from the establishment of this
review Commission, the Community Relations Service, U.S. Department
of Justice, Region X will reconvene representatives of the City and
Community United for Justice for the purpose of reviewing the operation
of the Commission and revising it as needed to meet current needs. This
will be done on an annual basis.
Although this ordinance provision clearly requires an annual review and revision of the
ordinance, this process has never been accomplished. Moreover, the City is now in
a position where all of the appointments to the Commission have expired and several
years have elapsed. Because of these circumstances, a legal argument can be made
that the ordinance itself has expired.
.,.... !'"
Exhibit "A" 98
Memorandum Opinion 93-03
October 4, 1993
Page 2
While the law in this area is far from clear, some authority exists for the proposition
that ordinance expiration occurs after a particular legislative purpose has been
achieved. The City originally established the Commission after extensive meetings
with the Department of Justice and Community United for Justice. Section 8 was
included in the ordinance specifically so the ordinance would be reviewed and revised.
Since this review process never occurred and the terms of all the Commissioners
expired, it can be argued that the legislative purpose was achieved and the ordinance
has expired.
Recommendation:
As your attorney, I cannot recommend to you whether to reactivate the Commission.
This is clearly a policy choice for the Council. However, I do recommend that the
Council eliminate any legal question that could arise regarding the expiration of the
ordinance. To do this, the Council has two alternatives.
The first alternative is to repeal the ordinance. This would be appropriate if the
Council decides, as a policy matter, that the Commission is no longer needed.
The second alternative is to contact the U.S. Department of Justice and
representatives of the Community United for Justice to review and revise the
ordinance as required by section 8. The Council would choose this alternative if it
decides to continue the Commission.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION NO.2: THE LEGAL AUTHORITY GRANTED TO THE
COMMISSION IN THE PRESENT ORDINANCE IS TOO BROAD AND AMBIGUOUS.
Ordinance 1865 currently contains a broad purpose statement that reads as follows:
Purpose. The Commission shall review and monitor department policy
and procedures. It shall also hear appeals of complaints submitted by
residents of the city of Woodburn. The Commission may also promote
improved communication, understanding, and cooperation between all
racial, ethnic, and religious groups.
Moreover, Section 4 of the ordinance grants authority for the Commission to summon
witnesses, access files of complaints under appeal where not otherwise limited by
law, review Woodburn department policies and procedures, and make
recommendations to the department and City Council.
.,... r"

Exhibit IIAII
Memorandum Opinion 93-03
October 4, 1993
Page 3
Historically, this language resulted from negotiations between the city and the
Community United for Justice. The original language proposed by the Community
United for Justice was modified by the city in certain respects. Key points were that
the Commission could "summon" witness but not compel their attendance by a
subpoena. Also, the city added the language "where not otherwise limited by law. n
While the final language was acceptable to the city and the Community United for
Justice when the ordinance was enacted, it proved frustrating to the Commission
members and the public. Misunderstandings arose as to the Commission's function.
At one point, the Commission was asked to investigate a case in pending litigation.
On another occasion, an attempt was made to bring police officers before the
Commission during a pending criminal case. On both occasions, the Commission was
advised that the matters were beyond its jurisdiction and that they were governed by
other applicable law. However, this exercise was frustrating for both the Commission
members and the public.
Recommendation:
If the Council, as a policy matter, decides to reactivate the Commission, the ordinance
should be amended to include a more specific legal mandate. Specifying the
jurisdiction of the Commission when the ordinance is revised will, hopefully, remedy
any uncertainty about the function of the Commission.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION NO.3: APPLICATION OF ORDINANCE 1865 COULD
CONFLICT WITH THE WOODBURN CITY CHARTER. EXISTING COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENTS. LAND USE REGULATIONS. AND COULD ADVERSELY
IMPACT PENDING LITIGATION.
A final concern regarding reactivation of the Commission is that the application of the
present ordinance to certain subject areas could cause legal conflicts. Historically, the
Commission was intended as a type of "human rights commission. n This perceived
function was a product of extensive meetings between the city, the Community
United for Justice, and the Department of Justice. This is reflected in Section 3 of
Ordinance 1865, intended to insure adequate representation of racial, ethnic, and
religious groups:
."1""' ,..
98
Exhibit IIAII
Memorandum Opinion 93-03
October 4, 1993
Page 4
Comoosition. The Commission shall be made up of nine (9) members
appointed by the mayor and approved by the Woodburn City Council,
seven (7) members shall reside within the city limits and two (2)
members may be residents outside of the city limits but within the city's
urban growth boundary. The Commissioners shall be representative of
the Woodburn population including Anglo, Russian, Mexican and Senior
Citizen communities. The Commission shall elect a chairperson for a
term of one year.
The concern is that if the city now applies the present ordinance as an "oversight
committee," legal problems will probably arise. It is impossible to accurately predict
all of these potential legal conflicts, but some general problem areas can be
anticipated.
For instance, if the Council now intends to use the present ordinance to oversee
administrative actions, this arguably usurps the Charter authority of the City
Administrator. Section 21 (3) provides in relevant part:
The administrator shall appoint and may remove all other city officers
and employees except as this charter otherwise provides, and shall have
general supervision and control over them in there work with power to
transfer and employee from one department to another. He or she shall
supervise the departments to the end of obtaining the utmost efficiency
in each of them. He or she shall have no control, however, over the
mayor, the council or other judicial activities of the municipal judge.
Related to this would be certain subject areas which, if discussed by the Commission
could jeopardize the city's legal position. One example would be efforts by the
Commission to interview and/or communicate with represented employees outside the
context of the labor negotiations/representation process. This could result in unfair
labor practice complaints against the city. Another example would be efforts to use
the Commission as a forum to discuss pending litigation. This is inappropriate, has
happened in the past, and could jeopardize the city's legal position. Finally, efforts
could be made to use the commission as a forum to discuss a pending land use case.
This would also be improper and could create legal error by which the city land use
decision could be reversed.

Recommendation:
If the city decides, as a policy matter, to reactivate the Commission, the ordinance
should be amended to clarify its application. Since the original ordinance was enacted
from a "human rights" perspective, its application in other contexts was not fully
anticipated and explored. Any revision of the ordinance should thoroughly explore the
application of its provisions in a variety of contexts.

SUBJ.:
l:Iistorical Background - Citizens' Review Commission
DATE:
October 7, 1993
The Woodburn Citizens Review Commission (WCRC) was formed in the early
1980's and functioned sporadically through the balance of the decade, but has been
dormant since 1988. The WCRC appears to have been intended as a type of human
relations commission, formed in response to the October 20, 1983 fatal shooting of
a male Hispanic citizen by a Woodburn police officer. Public outcry by Hispanic
groups within the city called into question the direction of the Woodburn Police
Department, as well as some of the department's policies and procedures.
Efforts to mediate the citizens' concerns resulted in a town hall meeting on
November 13, 1983, sponsored by the Governor's Commission on Hispanic Affairs.
Among the charges leveled at the police department were allegations of harrassment,
brutality, discrimination, unwarranted use of deadly force and neglect of attention to
issues involving the Hispanic population.
The developing situation drew the personal attention of then-Governor Vic
Atiyeh, and went on to involve the FBI as well as conciliators from the U.S.
Department of Justice. Two days after the town hall meeting, an organization known
as "La Comunidad Unida para Justicia", or "Community United for Justice" (CUJ) was
formed to address the issues then being brought to the public's attention.
During the ensuing several months, discussions among those involved, including
active participation by CUJ, led in the direction of the formation of an investigative
body of the nature of the WCRC. In fact, the earliest draft that I have located of what
eventually became Ordinance 1865 was presented on Community United for Justice
letterhead. The WCRC was created by the Council by enactment of Ordinance 1865
in April, 1984, and it appears from the records that the WeRe's first meeting was
held in August of 1984.
Ordinance 1865 broadly described the WCRC's purpose as to "review and
monitor departmental policy and procedures ... hear appeals of complaints submitted
by residents ... promote improved communication, understanding and cooperation
between all racial, ethnic and religious groups. The composition of the commission
was to very specifically include representation of the "Russian, Mexican and senior
r r
98
Page 2 - WCRC Historical Background (10/7/93)
Exhibit IIBII
citizen communities" among its nine (9) members.
In the five year period that began in 1984, a total of four complaints were
reviewed by the WCRC, two involving the Hispanic community (both complaints
initiated by CUJ), and two involving the Russian community. In addition, acting on
advice from legal counsel, the WCRC declined to become involved in a complaint
lodged against a Woodburn police officer by six Hispanic women in 1986. This matter
involved a lawsuit in federal court and it was determined that the WCRC's jurisdiction
in the matter was, at best, questionable and inappropriate. A similar determination
was made in at least one other instance.
By and large, it appears that the WCRC held meetings on a monthly basis, as
called for in the ordinance, for most of the period from its 1984 formation until almost
the end of 1987. Beginning in 1988, the meetings were changed to a quarterly basis.
However, records indicate that many scheduled meetings, often for consecutive
months, were cancelled for lack of a quorum. Based on city records, it appears that
the last WCRC meeting held was on July 12, 1988, with a subsequent meeting
scheduled for November 11, 1988 failing to achieve a quorum of members.
City records and news articles from the period indicate that the last two years
the WCRC was active were controversial ones from the standpoint of understanding
of the role and direction of the commission. According to a Feb.2, 1988 Statesman-
Journal article, the commission's chairman resigned in January, 1988, citing concerns
that the WCRC had become "a vehicle used by the Hispanic group (CUJ) to harrass
the Woodburn Police Department". While apparently disagreeing in that instance with
the former chairman's statement, then-City Administrator Mike Quinn had
nevertheless previously cautioned the WCRC in a November 6, 1987 memo that "the
Woodburn Citizen's Review Commission not be abused into becoming a public forum
for allegations of extreme misconduct on behalf of law enforcement personnel...
resolution should be through disciplinary or legal action."
Meeting minutes for the 1986-88 period seem to further indicate that the
WCRC was searching for direction and, at times, was frustrated with its limited
scope. As early as March of 1986, according to a 3/6/86 memo from the City
Administrator to the Council, there was dialogue concerning the merits of the WCRC
taking "a more pro-active role in community relations". The same 2/2/88 Statesman-
Journal article cited above quoted one commission member as saying "I myself have
thought of resigning because of our limited scope. We can't do a lot. Sometimes I
feel like a Maytag repairman. You sit there for months and do nothing, but when
something comes up you are really needed." The prepared agenda of one of the last
WCRC meetings listed as its sole business item "Discussion re: Commission status".
The exact nature of the discussion is lost to history but, as previously noted, the
Woodburn Citizens Review Commission has been inactive since that time (1988).

Staff Report - illegal Drug Lab Cleanup Agreement
The 1993 legislature eliminated illegal drug lab cleanup funding from the Department of
Environmental's (DEQ) budget for the 1993-1995 biennium. HB 2381 was enacted which allows
for limited drug lab cleanup funds from asset forfeiture revenues from all police agencies. This
amount is set a15 % of revenues after all expenses have been deducted. If no funds are available,
Law Enforcement agencies have the option of signing an agreement with DEQ for technical
assistance on a pay-as-you-go basis, until forfeiture money is available.
In researching costs for service through DEQ, I was told that since 1987 there have been 700
lab clean ups and the average cost is $3,000 Many were in the range of $500 to $1,500
depending on the size of the containers. Houses average from $3,000 to $5,000. In Keizer
during the last year, a house and it's foundation had to be removed at a total cost of $6,756.
The largest clean up recorded in Oregon was in Coos Bay where the fee was $28,000. Listed
below are some local examples of drug lab clean up fees from DEQ:

Private companies are competitive, however, most only provide cleanup, removal and transport.
They generally do not provide storage or destruction services. This would mean contracting
with another company.

DEQ
The City of Woodburn must make arrangements for removal and disposal of confiscated
materials. DEQ will perform illegal drug lab cleanup work on a cost recovery basis. Attached
you will find a copy ofDEQ's Fact Sheet and the latest memo from Mary Wahl, Administrator,
Environmental Cleanup division. These documents outline the steps necessary to secure DEQ's
services.
I have contacted the Salem Police Department and the Marion County Sheriffs Office and have
been told that DEQ's proposal is a good one. The Marion County Sheriffs Office is considering
DEQ's proposal at this time. Currently Salem has their own Haz-Mat unit which handles their
incidents.
Another very important part of this process will be the assistance and expertise provided by the
Woodburn Rural Fire District. Currently we are working together to develop a City Wide
Emergency Response Plan that will include Haz-Mat incidents.
As DEQ regulates Hazardous Material Incidents, it appears to be in the Cities best interest to
contract with DEQ. I would recommend that the City contract with DEQ for illegal Drug Lab
Cleanup services. If other options become available, I will research and report these to the City
as soon as possible.

Re: Dlegal Drug Lab Cleanup Agreement Between the
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and
Local Government Iurisdiction
This letter responds to your request to have the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ
or the Department) clean up and dispose of materials resulting from illegal drug lab activity.
Under legislation adopted in August 1993, DEQ may receive asset forfeiture revenue to pay
for costs related to illegal drug lab cleanup activities. As of September 1, 1993 DEQ has not
received any revenue from these forfeitures. Until DEQ has received $25,000 in asset
forfeiture revenue to offset Department costs, the Department will provide drug lab cleanup
services only with an agreement for cost recovery. Once_the Department reaches $25,000 in
the asset forfeiture funds, those funds will be used on a first-come, first-served basis until the
funds are exhausted. These funds will be replenished periodically, and if forfeiture funds
exceed cleanup costs, cleanups will be performed using those funds.
This letter serves as an agreement between DEQ and your jurisdiction where you request
DEQ's assistance for the cleanup of hazardous substances where illegal drug lab activities
have occurred or are suspected to have occurred and before the Department reaches $25,000
in asset forfeitures or after these funds are exhausted. This agreement will apply at any or
all of the properties that you designate and for which you request assistance when asset
forfeiture funds are insufficient.
Under this agreement DEQ requires that jurisdictions seeking DEQ investigation and cleanup
of illegal drug activities pay an hourly rate of $72 to DEQ for staff time. The DEQ hourly
rate is calculated to include direct personnel and indirect costs to the agency. Additionally,
the local jurisdiction must reimburse DEQ for all other direct costs, such as contractor costs.
Because of the limited scope of work envisioned under this agreement, the Department will
not provide accounting details beyond the hours worked by staff and summaries of non-DEQ
direct costs. Invoices from DEQ for services provided under this agreement
are payable in 45 days from date of the invoice.

Because of the uncertainty of asset forfeiture funds and the potential for rapid
depletion of those funds, the Department must make an evaluation of
available funds on the date the request is received. If adequate funds are
available, the cleanup will proceed using those funds regardless of whether

the local jurisdiction is a party to this agreement. However, if funds are not
available from the asset forfeiture funds, DEQ will provide illegal drug lab
cleanup services for local jurisdictions only if this agreement is executed and
on file with DEQ.
DEQ will detennine when forfeiture funds reach $25,000 and when funds are depleted.
DEQ will not use these funds to retroactively pay for cleanup activities performed under this
agreement. DEQ will not retroactively charge the local jurisdiction for cleanup activities that
were started with forfeiture fund monies but were completed after these monies were
exhausted.
Either DEQ or the jurisdiction may terminate this agreement by giving 15 calendar days
advance written notice to the other; the 15 days begin running upon receipt, not date of
postmark. Only those costs incurred or obligated by DEQ prior to the effective date of any
termination of this agreement will be owed under this agreement. Termination of this
agreement will not affect any other right DEQ may have for recovery of costs under any
applicable law.
The local jurisdiction shall hold DEQ harmless for any claims including, but not limited to,
claims of property damage or,personal injury, arising from actiVities coordinated, reviewed,
overseen, or performed by DEQ or DEQ's contractors under this agreement.
This agreement is not and shall not be construed as an admission by the local jurisdiction of
any liability under ORS 465.255 or any other law or as a waiver of any defense to such
liability. This agreement shall not be construed as a waiver, release, or settlement of claims
DEQ may have against responsible parties or as a waiver of any enforcement authority DEQ
may have with respect to responsible parties or the subject property.
If the terms of this agreement are acceptable to you, please have it executed by an authorized
officer in the space provided below and return to DEQ.

What the 1993 Legislature decided:
The legislature e1iminAtet'I illegal drug lab cleanup funding from DEQ's budget for the 1993-1995
biennium. Insteact. HB 2381 was enacted wbich allows for limited drug lab cleanup funds from
asset forfeiture revenues. This means that DEQ assistance on illegal drug lab cleanups will not
be available until forfeiture funds are distributed.
When DEQ will get Involved again:
Because of the lack offunds. DEQ has notified law enforcement and public safety agencies that
it will discontinue the program until at least $25.000 in asset forfeitures or cost recovery has been
accumulated. At that time. DEQ will respond to law enforcement requests for cleanup on a first-
come first-served basis. These funds may not be used to remove stored waste from previously
discovered drug labs. Law enforcement agencies also have the option of signing an agreement with
DEQ for technical assistance on a pay-as-you-go basis. until the forfeiture money is available.
What to do In the Interim:
Until funding for DEQ assistance is established. law enforcement agencies will have to make their
own arrangements for removal and disposal of confiscated materials. The following infonnation
will help you make decisions about how to handle the transportation. storage and disposal of
drug lab waste.
Before an Incident occurs: ARRANGE IN ADVANCE WHERE
POSSIBLE.
I. Arrange for an emergency response contractor ahead of time. so selection does not delay
cleanup. A contractor will not come to your site unless they know who you are. Companies
that have indicated an interest in providing these services are listed at the end of this fact sheet.
2. Arrange in advance for a Treatment, Storage. and Disposal (TSD) waste management profile.
Waste management profiles are the formal descriptions of chemicals and waste materials that
are required before a Treatment, Storage. and Disposal Facility (TSDF) will accept the waste.
No hazardous waste can legally be sbipped without an approved destination. A list of facilities
indicating interest in providing these services are listed at the end of this fact sheet.
3. Arrange for a hazardous waste generator identification number. Provisional numbers that were
previously used by DEQ (numbers that start with ORP....) may no longer be used. You must
submit a Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity Fonn. Call 503-229-6511 for the fonn. It
will take from 3 to 5 days to receive your hazardous waste generator identification number
from the national data base. This number is required on all documents related to hazardous
waste transportation and storage. DEQ will assign a single number for your transfer/storage
ami. This number will serve your entire jurisdiction. DEQ will not charge your agency a fee
for issuing the number. However. DEQ will ask each jurisdiction to report on drug lab clean
ups annually by completing one of the following options:

a. Complete an annual hazardous waste report. or
b. Send DEQ copies (you keep originals) of all manifests
used to ship waste for disposal.
Send them to:

Portland, OR 97204
When an Illegal drug lab Is discovered:
l. CALL OERS.
The Oregon Emergency Response System (OERS).
1-800-452-0311, will help you notify the necessary
coordin::.ting agencies. including DEQ.
2. POST THE SITE.
Notify the public to stay away from conta.miIiated sites
where unknown risks may exist. Signs should be made
of materials that are resistant to outside weather
conditions. The Oregon State Health Division has
provided signs in the past, but you now may need to
obtain these signs locally.
3. USEYOURHAZARDOUSWASTE
GENERATOR IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.
Use your hazardous waste identification number on all
hazardous waste manifests. The emergency response
company you hire must first have this number before it
can legally move the hazardous waste. A manifest is a
hazardous waste shipping document the generator
(yIJur agency, in this case). the transporter and the
m:eiving Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility
(TSDF) must sign. The generator should receive a
final copy from the TSDF with all parties' signatures.
4. MAINTAIN RECORDS.
Be:cause federal law holds persons responsible for the
disposal of hazardous waste liable for its fate, it is
important to have someone coordinate all relevant
rec:ords. In addition, if your agency attempts to recover
its costs from the property owner. you will need to
lOA
;,-
.
produce the appropriate records. You should ask
for a manifest signed by an authorized agent of the
TSDF you shipped to within 45 days of shipment.
(Check the attached list of TSDF's for their
authorized signatory agents.) Receipt of a manifest
signed by the receiving TSDF is your proof that
the waste was legally stored. or disposed. It is a
good idea to make all payr.nent for services by
your agency contingent on receipt of the signed
manifest/rom the TSDF.
5. CHOOSE WInCH WASTES YOUR
AGENCY WILL MANAGE.
Not all materials at a drug lab require hazardous
waste management. Debris with no evidence of
hazardous waste content and no free liquids can be
handled as solid rather than hazardous waste.
Your agency will be expected. to properly identify
and manage all hazardous wastes discovered. For
a listing of all hazardous wastes, ask for the Small
Quantity Generator's Handbook published by
DEQ,503-229-5913.
Other Considerations:
I. INTERIM STORAGE OF CONFISCATED!
EVIDENTIARY MATERIALS.
If you need to store drug lab materials for evidence
prior to disposal, they must be labeled as evidence.
They also must be properly packaged., transported,
and held in a local location which meets hazardous
materials storage requirements. Agency staffwho
pack and transport hazardous materials must be
trained as specified by the Oregon Occupational,
Safety, and Health Division (OR-OSHA). DEQ's
experience has shown that stored drug lab chemi-
cals may be dangerous. Storage before disposal is
also generally more expensive than immediate
disposal. Fed.erallaw requires stored materials to
be disposed within 90 days of any change in
status; i.e., when it ceases to be evidence. This
nonnally occurs when a case is adjudicated or
abandoned.
"""t"".1 'T
10A
2. SPILLS. If a major spill of drug lab chemicals occurs
in your jurisdiction, DEQ will address this situation in
the same way other chemical spills are handled. All
spills must be cleaned up inunediately and OERS
notified. If further cleanup is necessary, DEQ will
follow a standard priority system for state funded
cleanups, including assessment of conditions such as
threats to drinking water, community health and
protection of surface waters.

Re: Illegal Drug Lab Cleanup Agreement
To Whom It May Concern:
Enclosed is an agreement form for your use if you want the Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) to perform illegal drug lab cleanup work on a cost
recovery basis in your jurisdiction.
As the Department has noted in previous letters, this is the only way that OEQ can
participate in drug lab cleanup activities until it has $25,000 in asset forfeiture
funds or if such funds are exhausted when the local jurisdiction makes the request
for assistance. The agreement itself details the mechanics, but basically the
agreement provide~ that the local jurisdiction pay.OEQ $72/hr. for staff time and
reimburse DEQ for all other direct costs such as contractor costs.
This agreement must be in place before DEQ can respond to an illegal drug lab
cleanup. No charges will accrue until the local jurisdiction makes a request and is
informed that there are not sufficient asset forfeiture funds available. You may
complete the enclosed agreement and return by mail, or if conditions require, you
may fax the agreement to 229-5830 and follow with mailing the signed
agreement.
If you have any questions regarding this agreement please call Ed Wilson at 229-
5373.

NOTE:
Purchase will be from budgeted public works equipment replacement
funds. Most of the radios planned for reolacement were ourchased in

BACKGROUND:
City of Woodburn bid number 94-06 for 22 portable radios and accessories, chargers,
carrying cases, and programming, was opened at 11 :00 am on October 15, 1993 and
was publicly read.
There were four bidders who complied with all requested specifications. These results
were:

Clackamas Communications, Inc.
Bear Communications, Inc.
Electromatic
Amount
$12,727.00
$12,850.00
$13,790.71
$15,947.00
All these bidders bid a Motorola HT-1000 radio. There are radios available from at
least one other manufacturer that would have complied with specifications.
There was one bidder who did not comply with the outlined specifications: The
results from this bid were:
Bidder
Slater Communications & Electronics Inc.
Amount
$7,555.00
The bidder offered a Maxon SP-2550 radio which did not meet specifications in
several areas. Some of these areas were US Military Specifications 81 OE standards
for low pressure, high temperature, low temperature, temperature shock, solar
radiation, rain, humidity, dust, vibration and shock; automatic power levels; number
of channels; channel spacing, transmitter FM hum and noise, audio distortion,
spurious and harmonics emissions and modulation; receiver audio distortion,
intermodulation, sensitivity, spurious respond rejection and image rejection.

page 2
The Maxon radio is a lower quality radio that is not made to the standards of the
Motorola radio. It will not provide the service or parts availability of the motorola.
Pubic works use of these radios in the field and in construction situations requires a
quality product. Motorola has built an exceptional reputation over many years.
Current public works radios are outdated and parts are no longer available. Many are
unreliable and prone to periodic malfunctions. The current radios are in critical need
of replacement.
The Motorola radios will provide more years of reliable service and stand, up to the
adverse conditions often required by the nature of the public works operation. Staff
recommends that the bid of Questar Radio Communications be accepted.

FROM Mary Tennant
DATE October 21, 1993
SUBJECT: Transfer of Dedicated Retirement Funds for Fire
Department Personnel (Annexation Agreement)
RECOMMENDATION: council, by motion, authorize the transfer of the
remaining retirement funds within the City's sub-account maintained
by Pacific Mutual to the Public Employees Retirement System.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1984, the city entered into an
annexation agreement with the Rural Fire District which included
the transfer of employer contributions made on behalf of Fire
Department personnel to PERS over a ten-year period. The extended
pay-out period was agreed to with PERS so as not to incur early
withdrawal penalties by the city. One percent of the July 1984
account balance ($2,164) has been transferred monthly to PERS with
the final payment to be a lump sum amount payable on June 30, 1994.
There is approximately $134,000 in the account at this time and
Pacific Mutual has advised the city that they are willing to close
the account prior to June 30th if the City so authorizes without
penalty. Since the interest earnings on the remaining balance stay
within the sub-account, there is no benefit to the City to continue
to keep the account active.

Use of City Hall for Polling Place - Nov. 9. 1993
DATE:
October 13, 1993
In the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation, I have agreed to allow the Marion
County Elections Division to utilize city hall council chambers as a polling place during
the November 9, 1993 statewide election. It is my understanding that this polling
place will be used by voters in Precinct #129, which represents city Ward #VI.
This polling place would normally be located in the Woodburn Armory, but the
armory is unavailable for this purpose because it continues to serve as temporary
quarters for the Salud Clinic. The Elections Division advises me that other precincts
displaced from the armory will be located at various school facilities.
During polling hours, several parking spaces at the north end of city hall will be
reserved for use by voters. Municipal Court session will not be held on that date.
Otherwise, normal city operations should not be impacted.
