CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REPORT.
Nick Harville, Chamber Executive Director, provided the Council with copies of the
Chamber's year-end statistics. He reminded the Council that the Chamber's annual dinner
will be held on January 21, 2005, 6:00 p.m., at Country Meadows.
He thanked the Council for approving their grant proposal and he provided information to the
Council on the Q Program (Quality Program), funded in part by City Tourism and Economic
Development grant funds, to provide front line workers with customer service training. The
Chamber Tourism Committee is also considering the addition of Hubbard, Aurora, Donald,
St. Paul, Mt. Angel, and Silverton to develop an overall tourism product and a marketing plan
for the area. He will also be making a presentation to the City of Hubbard later this week for
a Community Readiness Study and he will be discussing the tourism and marketing plan.
The readiness study is an assessment as to where the community is, where they want to go,
and how they are going to get there and is a proven tool used by Oregon Community &
Economic Development in approximately 18 other small communities around the State.

WOODBURN SCHOOL DISTRICT REPORT.
Jeanne Halm, Communications Specialist, expressed her appreciation for the opportunity to
re-establish a communication link between the City and School District. She, along with
School Superintendent Walt Blomberg, will alternate in making presentations at the first
Council meeting of each month to share information about the school district and act as a
conduit to take questions or concerns back to the School Board. She provided the Council
with the district's 2002-2007 Strategic Plan as a reference. The School District is
rescheduling their Strategic Planning process and community members, staff, and parents
will be given more opportunities to provide input into the plan and ultimately into budget
priorities for 2005-06. Approximately 17 meetings will be held in January to ask the
following questions.: 1) what is the school district doing well, 2) what the school district can
improve on as it relates to educational services, and 3) solicit suggestions as to how the
specified improvements can be made. The feedback will be provided to the Core Planning
Team who will meet in February to review the input and plan and then make
recommendations to the School Board for approval. This information will then be submitted
to the Budget Committee for consideration when developing the 2005-06 budget. She
extended an invitation to the Mayor and Council to participate in the Strategic Plan process.

Jack Lenhardt, 1055 Tukwila, stated that he is a long-time member of the community and the
area he currently lives in has 7 foot bicycle paths on both sides of the street resulting in no
on-street parking. In his opinion, the City has the ability to make a change in the location of
the bicycle paths so that residents can utilize at least one side of the street for parking. He
expressed his concern about the additional cost to install the 7 foot bicycle paths when they
are rarely used by the public. This same type of problem exists on Hazelnut Drive to Front
Street. He also expressed his opinion that the bicycle lane at the Highway 214/Boones Ferry
Rd intersection is placed in a very dangerous location between the right-turn only lane and
the thru lane of traffic.
Mayor Figley stated that the State Highway Division controls the design layout for bicycle
paths on the state highway. In regards to the bicycle paths on City Streets, the Transportation
Plan does provide a layout for location which is used for new developments or improvements
which are made to the street infrastructure system.
Councilor Cox stated that he is bicyclist but he has wondered if it is a good expenditure of
public funds to spend as much money as is done on bike lanes. It is a public policy decision
and it was his understanding that the City is governed by the City's Transportation System
Plan which, in turn, is governed by the State's regulations.
Mr. Lenhardt stated that he was also thinking about the bike lane location on the State
Highway which he realizes that the City has no control over but a letter from the Council to
the State Highway Department might make them think differently about the location of the
lanes on busy roadways.
Public Works Director stated that the cost of constructing a street includes pavement width,
curbs, and gutters. By adding extra pavement to the street for the bicycle lane will cost more
for the improvement but not in the same proportion since the curb and sidewalk would be
required whether the bicycle lane was there or not. He stated that it is a public policy relating
to transportation plan design and location to meet future community needs. He reiterated that
bicycle lanes are, for the most part, state-wide policy and has been debated on for quite some
time.
Public Works Manager Rohman stated that bicycle paths is a public policy that the City has
incorporated into our Transportation System Plan and the public policy is found in the
Transportation Planning rule (Goal 12) which was derived from various land use laws. He
stated that arterial and collector streets are required to have bike lanes and the street Mr.
Lenhardt has identified is a collector street. When subdivisions and PUD's are approved, the
conditions of approval require street improvements to be made in compliance with the
Transportation System Plan. In regards to the parking situation on those streets, the parking
conditions were also dictated by the conditions of approval when those subdivisions or
PUD's were approved. When the highway has a fight-mm only lane, the bicycle lane is
placed between that lane and the thru traffic lane as a safety measure for those bicyclists who
want to go straight through an intersection. He also stated that bicyclists are required to
follow the rules of the road including that of riding with the flow of the traffic which is why
there are two bicycle lanes on a street.

Director Tiwari stated that 1% of the State Gas tax revenue is required to be dedicated for
bikeways and sidewalks. If the City would want only one bikelane, then it would have to be
separated from the roadway and not next to the curb.

BOONES FERRY ROAD / HIGHWAY 214 TEMPORARY SIGNAL.
Councilor Nichols stated that it was wonderful to see the pole removed from the right-mm
lane of Boones Ferry Road, the temporary signal in place, and the improved roadway is a
great addition to that area.
Councilor McCallum stated that he has received some positive comments about the pole
removal and signalization, however, the signalization change did result in a change of traffic
flow.
Councilor Cox stated that he did review the report in the agenda packet and it seems to
adequately explain what happened in the sequence of events and he is satisfied. However, he
feels that there may have been some shortcutting in terms of explaining what the delay was
and he appreciated clarification on this issue. He did mention that he was puzzled as to why
the City was still debating as to whether or not a right turn lane should be installed while
construction was going on in its current configuration.
Administrator Brown stated that staff could have done a better job of explaining the
difficulties staff was experiencing on this project and, as provided in the time lines within the
report, there was quite a delay from the date of submittal to ODOT to the time it is approved
by ODOT. Staff will try to do a better job of providing the Mayor and Council with project
status reports. He also stated that the City could have accepted the ODOT design for this
intersection which would have had the same basic configuration as in the past with a fight
hand turn lane and a second traffic lane that would allow for a combined thru lane/left turn
lane. Staff was trying to recover the lost traffic lane on Highway 214 as vehicles move west
on Highway 214 and, at this point, the new configuration will allow for the space which
should result in better traffic flow at that intersection.

Councilor Cox stated that he would not be bringing this item up for review but commented
on the amount of staff and applicant time required to submit and review a 104 sq. foot
building proposal.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORT.
Councilor Cox questioned if Council Bill No. 2552 consists of housekeeping amendments

GOAL SETTING SESSION.
Mayor Figley stated that this was the 42 Goal Setting session held by the Council with the
first session held in 1999 and facilitated by professional consultants. Since then City
Administrator Brown has facilitated these sessions which have been held every two years
following the general election. The goal setting session is an opportunity for the Council
to discuss what has been accomplished, goals currently being worked on, and goals for
the next two years. This session is also an opportunity for the Councilors to express their
expectations of each other and of staff. She felt that, for the most part, staffis doing a
good job and reminded the Council that communication is the key for positive interaction
between each other, staff, and the general public. She also stated that she was very
pleased and proud of the level of professionalism displayed by everyone and the
credibility is acknowledged by the public.
7.7
City Administrator Brown stated that one of his highest priorities is to generate and
maintain credibility when making decisions since that will continue to invoke public trust
and confidence in the work being done. In regards to the Mayor and Council's interaction
with department heads on issues, the Administrator stated that he wants to be the person
to give directions to the department heads and he has no problem with the Mayor or
Councilors directly accessing the department heads to ask them questions. He does,
however, like to know when the Mayor or Council has a question and encouraged them to
contact him in order to maintain communication flow and follow-up on issues as needed.

Lengthy discussion was held regarding the Mayor and Council's contact with the public
and outside agencies, the types of positive and negative comments received, and the
importance of listening to and following up with public complaints and concerns.
Administrator Brown stated that it will be the staff's commitment to provide information
and/or updates as projects progress rather than staff handling matters and then reporting
to the Mayor and Council more limited information.

VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT.
Administrator Brown stated that the Vision and Mission Statements were adopted by the
Council in 2001 and it was the consensus of the Council to leave these statements intact.
GOAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2003-2004.
Provide a Broader Range of Affordable Youth Activities:
Brief discussion was held regarding partnerships with faith-based agencies.
Administrator Brown stated that the City has been working with some local churches to
utilize facilities they may have available for some youth programs. The City is not
producing any events in cooperation with any of the churches nor is the City trying to
duplicate programs offered by local churches. He stated that improvements are being
made to the Teen Scene Program in an effort to generate more participation. It was
suggested that the City develop more weekend activities for the youth.
Provide a Broader Range of Self-Supporting Adult Activities:
No comments were made on this goal.
Celebrate Culture and Diversity:
Administrator Brown stated that he has been trying to get the City out of organizing big
events, however, the City will continue to be a participant in the process whether it be
providing a location for an event or potential insurance coverage. He suggested that the
City continue to participate in the September 16~ Celebration and in future events to be
held in the downtown plaza. He also stated that, later in this work session, he will be
discussing the need to actively market city facilities in order to maximize our investments
with the end result being to support events but not necessarily sponsor a signature event.
Discussion was held on events currently held within the City and options available to
expand the type of community events held by partnering with other local organizations.
Community Engagement and Communications:
Councilor McCallum stated that he watches community access television, however, he
has found that many shows are live productions rather than shows being taped and
replayed at later times for the viewers. His concern is that the public should be given an
opportunity to watch a tape of a previous Council meeting rather than having only one
opportunity to watch the meeting when it is shown live on television.
Discussion was held regarding community access television and the City's role, if any, to
monitor programming since the City is WCAT's funding source.
Administrator Brown stated that the City does not monitor community access television
Page 2 - Council Work Session Minutes, January 8, 2005

TAPE
and WCAT is responsible for the programming. It was suggested that WCAT provide a
monthly or quarterly report on City programs and times of airing. Additionally, it was the
consensus of the Council to revisit the WCAT contract to make sure that the City is
getting what is provided for within the contract.
Tape 2
Side A Discussion was held on providing outreach activities to Russian speaking residents
similar to what is provided by the School District. It was the consensus of Council that
the Russian population has been diminishing in relation to Hispanic population and the
City continue to utilize City staff members who are fluent in the Russian language to
interpret when the need arises.
5.0 In regards to a telephone information system, the Mayor suggested that future
improvements would include an information line accessible to the public during non-
business hours whether it be through the intemet or telephone system. Additionally,
installation of a bi-lingual line would be advantageous to provide information to the
public without their having to go down to or call City Hall during regular business hours.
Staff will be looking at improved technology to enhance public information systems
whether it be at the telephone system, website, or other computer software systems.
20.8 Revitalize Downtown Woodburn:
Administrator Brown stated that the exterior improvements to the Association Building
are now complete and the next step is to evaluate potential uses of the building.
Discussion was held regarding the Museum and the need to look at facility use versus
costs to make interior and exterior improvements before any final decision is made on
movement of the Museum from its present location to the Association Building.
The Mayor called for a short recess from 10:30 am until 10:55 am.
24.9 Administrator Brown stated that the City is also in the final cut of a Meyer Memorial
Trust grant. A Trust team will be in Woodburn on January 19, 2005 to do some
factfinding and then the team will go back with their findings to support the grant
proposal before the review board. If approved, this grant will provide funds to develop a
specific plan for downtown revitalization which includes circulation, land use, housing
strategy, street improvements, economic development approach, landscaping, marketing,
and financing plan. The City should know by the first part of February 2005 if we were
successful in obtaining the grant. In regards to the Burlingham grant, the trustees will be
meeting sometime in January 2005 to consider a $50,000 grant for the downtown plaza.
Additional funds needed to complete the gazebo project would be solicited from local
businesses and the public.
37.9 Pursue Economic Development:
Administrator Brown stated that a public investment plan would identify how the City
would pay for all of the various improvements needed to implement the economic
development plan. Staff has not been doing anything on this plan since the focus has
been on the land use issue in that expansion of the urban growth boundary is necessary
before the public investment plan can be pursued. He also stated that the new Chamber
Page 3 - Council Work Session Minutes, January 8, 2005

TAPE
READING
COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 8, 2005
Executive Director, Nick Harville, is well-versed in economic development and he is very
interested in working with businesses to pursue economic development within our City.
Administrator Brown expressed his desire to expand the City's involvement and
partnership with the Chamber in order to recruit businesses to our community.
Side B In regards to completion of periodic review tasks and the transportation plan updates,
public hearings will be held before the Planning Commission in February, before the City
Council in March, then forwarded to Marion County in the late spring or early summer,
and then to LCDC during the latter part of the calendar year. It was noted that the draft
plan does include the urban growth boundary expansion proposal.
5.6 Develop Necessary Systems Infrastructures:
Administrator Brown stated that this is an on-going goal and limited state and federal
funding will be available over the next few years for transportation needs and/or
improvements.
15.0 Enhanced and Improve Livability:
Discussion was held regarding code enforcement activities which, for the most part, are
complaint driven but the code enforcement officers do initiate calls when they see
violations. Administrator Brown stated that some violations take a higher priority than
others and the officers take a lot of calls thereby reducing the amount of time they have
for self-initiated complaints. Police officers are very busy with calls for service and other
enforcement activities, however, they do assist in code enforcement on a very limited
basis.
In regards to the flower basket program, the Task Force is working with PGE regarding
placement of baskets on PGE aluminum poles. Additionally, Woodburn Together has
indicated that they will longer be accepting the donations to pay for the baskets. The
Task Force is looking into utilizing another non-profit organization as the pass-through
for donations. Administrator Brown stated that he has been discussing with the Mayor
the possibility of establishing a Woodburn Foundation that would allow people to give
charitable gifts or endowments for community programs and activities.
The volunteer coordination project has not been implemented as of this date. The Library
does have a volunteer program for individuals under the age of 55 and the RSVP program
coordinates a volunteer program for individuals age 55 and older. Administrator Brown
stated that Director Westrick has made developing a volunteer program a priority on his
list of goals over the next year.
Councilor McCallum stated that there is a need to work on neighborhood enhancements
which may involve enforcement of laws and incentives for beautification. Administrator
Brown stated that staff will be reviewing some of our existing ordinances to see if
revisions can be made to provide staffwith more enforcement tools to address
neighborhood problem areas.
35.! Managed Growth:
Mayor Figley expressed her desire to see that the development code update is completed
this year.

it is unknown if the project is complete. Administrator Brown stated that he will check
on the status of this project.
Team Building:
An employee recognition luncheon is scheduled for January 26, 2005 at Lupita's.
Develop Technological Infrastructure:
Administrator Brown stated that the fiber has been nm to each one of the City locations
and what is now needed is the equipment to attach to the fiber and allow the City to use I-
Net. He also stated that he will be providing the Council with an update on the newly
installed CCRLS automated circulation system.
Plan and Deliver Transportation Improvements:
Administrator Brown stated that West Lincoln Street is the only non-paved street that has
been paved to date. There are still a few streets in town that are unpaved and more
discussion will be held as part of the 2005-07 goals.
Fiscal Stability:
Councilor McCallum expressed his appreciation of the City's financial stability.
Increase Participation in the State and Federal Legislative Process:
No comments were made on this goal.
Evaluate City Facilities for Retention, Expansion, Acquisition, and Relocation:
Administrator Brown stated that there are no viable offers on the table for the Community
Center at this time. Discussion was held regarding the Community Garden property.
Councilor Cox suggested that the City retain a community garden parcel of land even if it
is at a different location. Administrator Brown stated that he has discussed the possibility
of using a portion of the land recently purchased near the Wastewater facility for a
community garden area since that land had been used to raise crops over the years.
Encourage and Employ Sustainable Practices:
Administrator Brown recommended that the goal to establish City policies on sustainable
practices be removed from the 2005-07 goals due to lack of time to develop such policies,
however, staff will develop policies when time becomes available.
19.2
Council Expectations and/or Impressions.
Councilor Sifuentez stated that she is disappointed in the lack of progress in constructing
a new community center and she expressed her desire to have a new facility within the
next couple of years. Mayor Figley stated that the Community Center Task Force will be
making a presentation to the Park & Recreation Board at their next meeting which will
recommend that a split facility be built one of which would be adjacent to the Aquatic

Center while the other facility would be located at Legion Park. The Task Force will
continue to look for grants and other financial sources other than property taxes.
Discussion was held regarding the need for a community center but financing is a concern
since the voters had defeated prior bond issues for this purpose.
Side B It was suggested that the Council be provided with project status reports in a table format
similar to what is being done with the Planning Tracking Sheet and a more detailed report
be provided in those cases where there is a significant deviation or a large on-going
project.
A lunch break was taken from 12:45 pm until 1:15 pm.
12.7
ESTABLISH GOALS FOR 2005-07.
Administrator Brown referred to the list of goals for 2003-05 and additions/deletions
were made to the list for 2005-07.
Provide a broader range of quality, affordable, youth activities:
Under this goal,, it was agreed that the Teen Scene program goal be changed to read
"..maintain and enhance".
Provide a broader range of self supporting adult activities:
No change was made to this goal.
Celebrate culture and diversity:
Administrator Brown suggested the following changes:
1) take off"Reduce or eliminate direct City involvement...";
2) remove "Berry Festival and Tulip Festival as long as necessary", and the City would
continue to participate in Christmas and the 4th of July
3) replace the word "Increase" with "Continue", and add WDA (Woodburn Downtown
Association)
Community Engagement and Communication:
Administrator Brown recommended that the goal to "Expand outreach activities to
include Russian language..." be removed and retain the rest of the goals listed. The
Mayor and Council agreed with the recommendation.
Revitalize Downtown Woodburn:
Administrator Brown stated that the exterior of Association building is completed but the
City should continue to evaluate the potential for sale of the building. In regards to the
Urban Renewal program, the goal to revisit design choices should be changed to
complete an urban renewal specific plan, and the bullet points on "...guidelines and
program longer term borrowing.." be removed. He stated that recent conversations with
our financial advisors have indicated that the City will most likely need to acquire short
term borrowing from a bank because of the age of our urban renewal agency. Under the
goal to convert the parking lot to a plaza, the bullet points to acquire the remaining
property, evaluate street circulation, and develop a design can be removed and the bullet
point to construct the improvement can remain on the list.

READING
The Mayor and Council were in agreement with the changes outlined by Administrator
Brown.
Pursue Economic Development:
Administrator Brown recommended that these goals remain as listed.
Develop Necessary Systems Infrastructure:
Administrator Brown suggested that the goal to seek and promote competition to provide
high speed Intemet be removed from the list since the local providers are doing their own
marketing to provide this service to our residents.
Enhance and Improve Livability:
Administrator Brown stated that the Sign Ordinance has been completed therefor it eau be
removed from the list.
Manage Growth:
Administrator Brown suggested that the listed goals be left intact for the next two years
while Comprehensive Plan, Transportation System Plan, and Urban Growth Boundary
issues are being addressed by the City.
Museum Development:
Administrator Brown suggested that the Council remove from the list the last bullet point
which would transfer the operating responsibility to an outside agency.
Park Development:
Administrator Brown stated that the Heritage Park ADA improvement has been
completed and it can be removed from the list.
Team Building and Employee Development:
No changes were suggested to the list of items under this goal.
Develop Technological Infrastructure:
No changes were suggested to the list of items under this goal.
Plan and Deliver Transportation system improvements:
Regional - Administrator Brown suggested that coordination with the County on the
south by-pass be removed since there will not be much activity on this issue over the next
couple of years. He also suggested that coordination with ODOT to complete the I-5
right turn lane be r.emoved since it is now complete.
Local - Administrator Brown stated that he would like to remove the goal of evaluating
the need and cost effectiveness for traffic calming devices since, to date, he is unable to
meet this item on the list and is unsure if it can be met over the next two years. He stated
that the City has limited funds available for street improvements and would suggest that
funds be allocated towards paving of unpaved streets or other street projects rather than
traffic calming devices.
Councilor Cox stated that he believed that this should be on the list 'even though it may
only be a study item since many cities now have different traffic calming devices to
reduce speed in residential areas.
Discussion was held regarding the pros and cons of having traffic calming devices in
addition to financial issues relating to installation of speed bumps.

Administrator Brown stated that analyzing this issue will be very time consuming and the
engineering department has so many other projects that they are working on within the
goals already established in addition to those projects he will be suggesting to add over
the next couple of years. A financial option would be that neighborhoods pay the full
cost for the installation of traffic calming devices if the Council decided to allow a
specific type of device. He reiterated that he would like to have the engineers work on
other projects over the next two years rather than dedicating time for this study.
Following a lengthy discussion on this isSUe, it was decided by a majority of the members
that there is a need for a study sometime in the future but for the 2005-07 goals it would
be acceptable to remove it from the list and revisit this issue in the future.
Fiscal Stability:
Administrator Brown stated that the City does not have many opportunities available for
new funding sources, therefore, he suggested that the third bullet point be revised to seek
new grants for city programs. It was also noted that fiscal, accountability among the
employees is an acceptable item on the list but incentives for cost-savings ideas should be
deleted.
Increase Participation in the State and Federal Legislative Process:
It was suggested that this goal be changed to state "continue" rather than "increase".
Evaluate City Facilities for Retention, Expansion, Acquisition, and Relocation:
Administrator Brown stated that the library space needs can be removed and substitute it
with finalizing recommendations for raising funds for Library Expansion Phase I. He
also suggested that the Public Works corporation complex bullet point be removed for
2005-07.
Encourage and employ Sustainable practices (do as opportunity arises):
Administrator Brown stated that he did not feel that staff would be developing any formal
policies nor does he feel that the City would be designing or offering any support
programs over the next two years. It was the consensus to remove these bullet points
from this goal.
12.6
LIST OF ADDITIONS.
Discussion was held regarding the possibility of having the a Task Force work on the
consolidation of the Museum, Settlemier House, and Glatt House facilities under one
non-profit organization to make these cultural facilities more viable for the future.
Discussion was also held regarding the formation of a Woodbum Foundation as a non-
profit organization that could accept tax deductible contributions and seek grants and yet
not be tied directly to the City. It was the consensus of the Council to pursue this issue to
see what it would take to set up this type of program.
27.1
Revitalize Downtown: In addition to what was previously discussed on this goal,
Administrator Brown suggested that the list include 1)construction of Front Street
Page 8 - Council Work Session Minutes, January 8, 2005
TAPE
READING
COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 8, 2005
widening and reconstruction project, Phases I and II underground utilities, 2) completion
of Alley project from Garfield to Cleveland, 3) improving Cleveland Street from Front to
Second Streets, 4) improving Harrison Street from Front Street to Settlemier Avenue, and
5) improving Hayes Street from Front Street to Second Street. The capital projects listed
would replace "initiate capital project" listed in the 2003-05 goals. The Downtown
Specific Plan would also be included in the 2005-07 goals.
30.7
Economic Development: Administrator Brown suggested that this goal mention a
partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and Woodburn Downtown Association to
assist in achieving this goal. It was the consensus of the Council to add this item to the
list under this goal.
39.1
Side B
Develop Necessary Systems Infrastructure: Under storm drainage, Administrator
Brown stated that the Public Works Director will be coming before the Council with a
proposal that would initiate a utility billing for storm drain infrastructure in order to
generate revenue for maintenance and detention facilities. Over the next fiscal year, he
would be developing the cost allocation and recommendations for a storm drain rate.
Another project to be added to the list is the City's need to work on the DEQ Temperature
Management Plan in order to comply with federal and state regulations. Administrator
Brown also suggested that the City look at rail capability and he would like to work with
the Chamber of Commerce to do some type of an assessment in the industrial park area to
determine the feasibility of constructing a rail spur into the park. Additionally, as part of
the downtown plan, he suggested that the City look into the feasibility of depot options
for both a pleasure train and commuter train. It was the consensus of the Council to add
these items to this goal.
8.6
Enhance and Improve Livability: Administrator Brown suggested the following
additions: 1) include Housing Ordinance amendments to the list; 2) add to the list of code
enforcement revisions the peddlar's license and animals; 3) ordinance updates on the
sewer connection, street numbering, and street naming; 4) develop a urban forestry
program to address historic trees and tree replacement; and 5) introduce a neighborhood
strategic plan to work with neighborhoods in developing a crime prevention plan for their
neighborhood.
Councilors Lonergan and McCallum suggested that another goal would be to increase
drug abuse awareness activities within the City.
26.5
Manage Growth: Discussion was held on the list of activities under this goal along with
the impact growth has on the school district. It was the consensus of the Council not to
make any additions to the list.

Park Development: Administrator Brown stated that the funding source for making the
improvements listed are, for the most part, unknown at this time and the listed activity
should be identified as a two-phase project. Projects listed in the CIP that should be part
of list of activities include 1) Burlingham Park renovation, 2) Senior Estates Park
renovation, 3) Nelson Park renovation, 4) Settlemier Park acquisitions and renovation, 5)
Legion Park renovation, 6) greenway improvements, 7) development of Hermanson Park
III and Hermanson Pond, 8) Aquatic Center expansion, and 9) completion of the
partially completed Centennial Park ballfield. The Parks Comprehensive Plan needs to
be completed which will then lay the groundwork for the Parks System Development
Charges. Other projects included in the CIP are completion of master plans for
Settlemier, Legion and Centennial Park, and continue planning and searching for funding
sources for a new Community Center.
31.9
Tape 5
2.9
Team Building and Employee Development: Administrator Brown stated that the City
will be negotiating with both unions this year and this needs to be added to the list of
activities. He also proposed adding to the list city-wide training for all employees on a
quarterly basis on topics such as harassment, diversity, customer service, and the
personnel policy and procedure manual. He stated that some of the training would be
handled in-house while other training will be done by an outside source. If this activity is
added to this goal, he will be identifying the cost and including it in the 2005-06 budget.
Councilor McCallum suggested that work place security also be considered as a training
topic.
Plan and Deliver Transportation System Improvements: Administrator Brown stated
that discussion needs to be held as to whether or not property should be acquired along
Front Street for the purpose of providing off-street parking spaces to residents along Front
Street as part of this major street improvement and, if so, the formation of a local
improvement district to pay for this parking area.
Brief discussion was also held under the regional list on mass transit connection to
Portland. Administrator Brown stated that ODOT is considering a Park N Ride lot on the
north side of Highway 214 adjacent to the I-5 interchange which will create an
opportunity for connections with existing commuter transit services utilizing I-5..
On the list for local projects, Administrator Brown suggested that the following specific
projects be added to the list: l) Front Street improvement Phase I and 1I, 2) Hardcastle
· rail realignment; 3) improve Harrison Street from Front Street to Settlemier Avenue; 4)
improve Hayes Street fi.om Front Street to Second Street as part of the downtown
improvements; 5) realignment of thc intersection at Hayes Street and Settlcmier Avenue;
6) widen Parr Road from Valor School to Centennial Park; and 7) improve Cleveland
Street from Front to Second Streets. He stated that these projects are on the City's
Capital Improvement Project list for 2005-07.

Brief discussion was also held on unpaved streets within the City and the Council
requested an updated list on how many streets are unpaved along with estimated cost to
pave these streets so that the Council can identify their preferences for later discussion.
Unpaved streets will remain on the list of goals with the intent to try and pave one street
each year.
Fiscal Stability: Administrator Brown recommended that the Systems Development
Charges for Parks and Traffic Impact Fees be added to the goal list.
Increase Participation in the State and Federal legislative process: It was noted that
the word "Increase" should be changed to "Continue".
15.2
21.4
Evaluate City Facilities for Retention, Expansion, Acquisition, and Relocation:
Administrator Brown suggested the following additions to this goal: 1) finalize design
and obtain funding for Phase I of the Library expansion project; 2) conduct a space needs
assessment and plan for remodeling of City Hall based on a 20-year need; 3) construct a
new police facility; and 4) evaluate security of city facilities.
Encourage and employ Sustainable practices (do as opportunity arises):
Administrator Brown reiterated that this goal should remain as it currently reads.
22.2
Priority List:
Administrator Brown stated that he will provide the Mayor and Council with a revised list
of goals and requested that, within each goal, they rank the items listed so that staff can
review these priorities then come back to the Council with a report as to what they feel
can be initiated and/or accomplished over the next two years. Following a brief
discussion, the Council agreed to a four point rating system for each goal. The Council
will then be able to finalize and adopt the list of goals at a future Council meeting.

WOODBURN PLANNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION MINUTES

Staff Present: Jim Mulder, Community Development Director
Woodburn Periodic Review Amendment Package
Staff reviewed the comprehensive plan map and zoning map amendments proposed as part of the periodic
review, which included proposed amendments to reconcile discrepancies between comprehensive plan and
zoning maps. In addition, he discussed proposed amendments that reflect changes in land use conditions
and he outlined areas on the map and briefly reviewed the reasoning for the proposed changes. Thero was
in-depth discussion regarding the Downtown area and Staff reported it will take a lot more time to really figure
out exactly what each lot in the Downtown area should be zoned. He stated the City is in the process of
trying to obtain a substantial grant to redo the downtown plan, which would actually look in detail at
transportation and actual improvements to the streets downtown as well as the land use. Staff further
indicated it will be a process where they will be able to look at what the land uses should be to' make those
modifications. He commented he would rather do it as part of that process rather than to try to figure it out
now as part of Periodic Review.
Commissioner Vancil commented it would be a major accomplishment for the decision makers in the City
if redevelopment of the 20 or so blocks that are Front St. and one block back is accomplished in the next 20
years. However, he thought it is foolish to go three or four blocks in to what is now residential. Commissioner
Vancil stated we should consider changing the comprehensive plan to something else to reflect what is there
instead of what somebody dreams it should be.
Staff explained that was the designation from 25 years ago. He further indicated that was an area that he
preferred to put off to when we actually update the downtown plan which would enable us to look at it in much
more detail because we would be looking at the whole downtown area and all redevelopment aspects. Staff
said it does not hurt anything to make the zoning consistent because anyone that has a single family home
would be grand fathered in. Anyone that wants to build an apartment complex could apply for a conditional
use and the Commission then has the discretion to approve it or not depending on where it is located. He
stated his driving force was to make the zoning consistent with the comprehensive plan and not leave it the
way it is now.
Commissioner Bandelow liked the idea that people have the ability to take a single family home and convert
to commercial in the downtown area. However, she could not see putting anything that will cause a hardship
if we are talking about an increase in property taxes to houses in the downtown area. She felt it would not be
fair for taxes to increase for something that may happen in the future.
Commissioner Knoles suggested we find out how the taxes are being assessed either on comprehensive or
on zoning before we move further on this.
Staff indicated he would check into that. In closing, Staff reviewed the areas where the zoning and
comprehensive plan are adjusted to coincide with the property lines. He commented the rule of thumb when
looking at redevelopment potential is that it is not considered prime redevelopment opportunity if the value for

a single family house is more than the land and if it is less than the value of the land, then it would be
considered a tear down house.

TESTIMONY BY THE APPLICANT
John Brown, City Administrator, City of Woodburn, 270 Monteomerv St., Woodburn, OR 97071 provided a
brief presentation regarding the plaza design. He indicated they were trying to create enough grass seating
space to where large events could be held, i.e., Music in the Park and provide an area where they could
create vendor pads for the farmers market or celebrations. Additionally, he stated they wanted a fair amount
of surface space, location where you could dance or congregate, and a location for a gazebo. Mr. Brown
reported there would be a fountain at the southerly end of the park, a gazebo at the northerly end of the park
to anchor it down and a concrete walk running between those two that would be lined both by benches and
trees. There would be grass to the areas of both sides of the concrete walkway and running to the East there
would be concrete vendor pads for Saturday Market and those abut the Mayor's Alley. Moreover, he stated
there is a gentle slope that runs from the fountain down to the gazebo area which will create, in a sense,
theater seating so if people are there to see some kind of musical or theatrical performance at the location
of the gazebo they would not be looking at the back of the head in front of them. He further reported the
design choices themselves reflected a Latino flavor but were not strongly in favor of that, but wanted to retain
some sense of the historic Woodburn as well. The shape of the fountain, the tile work throughout the park
on hard surfaces and the design of the gazebo itself created a Latino flavor. Mr. Brown also stated they are
trying to tie the City Hall to the Library from that walkway and the Library to the Plaza walkway so they all in
a sense become part of a City campus. At this point in time they are proposing to build Phase 1, which
includes everything but the gazebo structure itself. He explained they have been able to identify cold hardy
species of Palm trees which will run down the center of the plaza, which creates additional Latin flavor in the
park but it also creates some vertical aspects running down the center that are a lot cheaper than trying to
reproduce that through concrete, steel or other materials. Mr. Brown mentioned one of the Council's goals
in this project is in creating a catalyst for additional private development. He indicated they feel very confident
that once the project is on the ground they will get the kind of catalyst that they have been talking about for
Urban Renewal and people are going to be supportive of it. Additionally, he said they will have to come back
for a separate review of the gazebo because unfortunately, they do not have the financing together to do that
just yet. They have sought from a benevolent association a grant and if successful, they will soon be
challenging the community to meet that and hope to raise the money that it takes to get the gazebo built and
make the whole park a reality in a fairly short order. It was further reported by Mr. Brown that it does not make
an awful lot of sense to widen the street at just this one point particularly given the location of the buildings
around it and the unlikelihood that they are going to be moved back at any point soon. In addition to that, they
really need the space and any space that is removed out of the site plan will give them less area for seating
and compresses the whole thing. In closing, Mr. Brown informed the Commission that there will be a Phase
III which is way out in the future and might include actually closing Hayes St. and taking the park all the way
across to the far curb. The gazebo and the fountain are not equidistant from the edges of the park but
essentially would be if they got Phase III into effect.
Commissioner Vancil inquired what is the plan in terms of parking space since we are taking away the parking
lot?
John Brown replied although he did not currently have an answer, he indicated they are working on several
possible options. One option being to redefine the circulation in to a one-way couplet, which they looked at
simply from the standpoint of how many additional parking spaces would that get us. He stated they are
losing 44 parking spaces. The Urban Renewal plans still require some definition and they have sought a grant
that would provide them, among other things, transportation and circulation expert assistance in determining
just exactly what they need to do to make up for it. Mr. Brown pointed out it may be a combination of that kind
of set of improvements or it may be the acquisition of other properties for additional parking. As well it may
be a matter of redirecting people to other parking, i.e., parking lot behind the post office. He said part of the
whole Downtown Plan is going to include signage that helps you get from one place to the next and makes
the whole area a lot more pedestrian and user friendly.

DISCUSSION
Vice Chairperson Young closed the public hearing and opened for discussion among the Commissioners.
Commissioner Vancil remarked it looked like a good plan and he had no problems with it.
Commissioner Knoles agreed with Commissioner Vancil and indicated he would be in favor of the project.
Commissioner Gr gorieff also thought it was a good plan and liked the way it was presented.
Vice Chairperson Young recalled back in 1997 and again in 2001 when discussions took place regarding
what could be done in the Downtown area to help the visual aspect of the town and the general feel and ideas
at that time hinted towards something that would be like what was presented tonight. He commented it is
great to see the project so much closer to actually becoming a reality. Vice Chairperson Young felt a project
like this is really the heart of community planning as it provides the citizens a vision for the future. Moreover,
as the future advances they will actually be able to see the fruits of our efforts. In closing, he said the variance
is not out of line and there would not be very much improvement for one block of the street downtown and
therefore, he would be in favor of the project.
Staff explained he provided a final order for this project tonight in order to accommodate the applicants on
tonight's agenda instead of making them wait until the January 13, 2005 Planning Commission Meeting to
obtain a final approval since the next request on the agenda was to cancel the December 23~ meeting. This
would allow the applicants to move forward with their projects without having to wait to that time. Staff further
explained the Commission could actually adopt the final order tonight if they choose to do so because there
were no changes made to the application tonight.
Commissioner Knoles made a motion to accept the final order of Design Review 04-21 and Variance 04-29
as presented by Staff. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Gri.qorieff. Motion carried unanimously.

Commissioner Knoles said he was very familiar with the property and the hedge and felt that a wall would
actually look much worse than what the hedge is. He indicated he favored the project.
Vice Chairperson Young pointed out the wall would probably be detrimental to the trees. He stated this is a
good opportunity to save the existing trees since there were several cases in the past where they were not
able to do so.
Commissioner Vanci! commented he favored the project but felt a clarification was necessary in that we've
had just about everybody who is required to build a wall ask not to build the wall because it is a very expensive
proposition. He further remarked in addition to the attractiveness of the hedge because there is open space
between the proposed structure and residential that is a secondary reason why we would be able to grant the
variance on this case, whereas we would not necessarily be able to in other cases.
Commissioner Knoles made a motion to accept the final order of Design Review 04-16 and Variance 04-27
presented tonight by Staff in an effort to save valuable time on the project and comply with the 120-day rule.
Commissioner Vancil seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Vice Chairperson Youn.q wished his fellow commissioners happy holidays since they would not reconvene
this month.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
A__~. Continued discussion of periodic review tasks relatin.q to Urban Growth Boundary expansion
and natural resource protection.
Staff requested a 5-minute recess in order to prepare for the discussion. Meeting reconvened at 8:05 pm.
A prepared presentation was to be provided by Greg Winterowd, Planning Consultant, however due to
unforeseen circumstances he had not yet arrived. Staff provided a general overview discussion of where we
are at with the periodic review process as well as a general review of natural resource protection policies.
Gre.q Winterowd arrived at 8:40 pm. He apologized to the Commission and the assembled citizenry for the
tardiness and explained there was an accident on the freeway. Mr. Winterowd talked about the natural
resources and about some of the data and issues he thought we will be facing as we go over this process over
the next few months. He referred to the draft ordinance that talked about how to manage flood plains, riparian
areas, areas along creeks and wetlands. Mr. Winterowd stated the proposed draft combines those three
resources because in Woodburn they are in the same place and therefore, it makes sense to have a single
regulating ordinance that addresses that. He reviewed the Safe Harbor Provisions of Statewide Planning
Goals fl5 - Natural Resources Goal and reported it was suggested that new residential and commercial
development not be allowed in those areas however, existing development can stay. Density transfer out of
the area in to the buildable area through the Planned Unit Development process is allowed. He believed this
does create some immediate issues because of Ballot Measure 37 because someone could claim that is
regulation that devalues their property. Mr. Winterowd indicated property value clearly increases dramatically
Planning Commission Meeting - December 9, 2004

once you have urban services. He indicated state law requires that exception areas be brought in before you
bring in agricultural land to meet need. Several Butteville Rd. residents have indicated they are not interested
because they like things the way they are and do not think there is much likelihood of this land being annexed
to the City anyway and there is not much bang to Public-Works dollars in terms of service in this area. Mr.
Winterowd reported there is beginning to be a constraint on the supply of residential land because most of it
is owned by one person and that one person does have influence on the market, which could drive up prices.
However, over time that situation should be able to take care of itself through the natural course of events.
He mentioned they tried to do a careful balancing to make sure that the need matches the supply. He
reported they have received very good support out of ODOT and hopes to obtain a similar level of support and
active involvement out of DLCD. Also discussed was the issue of the loss of high value farm land. He
explained we are looking at the trade off between bringing farm land in on the one hand, meeting economic
development housing needs on the other. Nonetheless, any direction you go, you have to bring high value
farm land even after you use all of the exception areas. The basic issue will be arguments that there is too
much land because we have overestimated, which begins with the population projection. Mr. Winterowd
reviewed his preview of coming objections: 1 ) Did we do a good job in estimating site needs for industrial?;
2) Were we correct in our estimates of the acres needed for commercial?; 3) Do the densities that we are
looking at allowing up to ten units per acre make sense for Woodburn on the one hand in terms of the social
fabric of the community meeting housing needs versus potential impact on agricultural land? He reviewed
some of the countervailing assumptions that would have the opposite effect of assumptions that result in less
need of agricultural protection.
Commissioner Vanci[ was not sure whether the NODAL Development concept is a Woodburn fit or not. He
stated some of the problems he has had over the last ten years has been public space. Commissioner Vancil
commented although Tukwila is a beautiful development, there is no place for children to throw a ball around
because the golf course is considered a public space. In listening to NODAL development, which would be
the most compacted of anything that has been developed in the City to date and it makes him worry about
public space and the urban problems that we would be bringing in to town with that kind of density.
~ remarked they are providing what in his view is a major windfall to the property owners
because of the densities that are being allowed with the notion of NODAL development. It would not be
unreasonable to look at mechanisms through the master planning process, which is a requirement to make
sure that open space needs are addressed as part of the annexation master plan process.
Staff interjected there is an adopted Parks Master Plan. He explained the policy is to stay away from pocket
parks and stay with larger parks that can be more easily maintained, acquired and controlled.
Gre,q Winterowd suggested perhaps getting a work session, at some point, with the Park Board.
Staff. explained they will be revisiting the Parks Master Plan because it was based on the current population
allocation when it was adopted, which was obviously Iow. He clarified they are not proposing to solve the
parks issue in this part of the periodic review because that is part of the Parks Master Plan.
Commissioner Vanci! remarked he will want to see how we address the parks before he would vote in favor
of Nodal development.
Gre,q Winterowd suggested possibly look at standards in the Nodal development zone itself and master plan
to talk about ratios of plan population and parks needs. Moreover, putting the onus on the people annexing
to work together on the master plan and on figuring out a place to meet the parks needs.

CORRESPONDENCE: None.
PUBLIC COMMENT: None.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
Monthly Statistics: The statistics are incomplete in several
areas this month. Holdings, Patron Loan Count and
Circulation statistics were unavailable, due to the Millennium
changeover. Interlibrary Loans lent and borrowed, are
approximately even. Reference questions were down slightly,
perhaps due to Library closure during the Christmas holidays,
and the Library Staff Training Day on December 20. Adult
computers had an average of ten users per hour continually
during open Library hours for the month of December.
Volunteer hours are down a little, perhaps because of the
Library closures and a week where, due to the new system
being installed, books could not be checked in. Finances show
a much larger than usual balance, due to the Ready to Read
Grant in the amount of $3,404.00. The grant will be used to
fund special Youth Services programs, regular reading times,
as well as Headstart programs that Deeda attends, both here
and at their location.
Youth Services: Deeda Stanley, the Library's new Youth
Services Librarian, came to the Library Board Meeting to
introduce herself and talk about the Children's Services.
27
Deeda started working at the Woodbum Public Library in
March, 2004 as a part-time Reference Librarian, and was hired
as Youth Services Librarian when Beverly Phillips retired at
the end of July, 2004. Deeda feels that Youth Services has the
unique opportunity of giving children their first impression of
what a library is all about. It is important, as well as fun, to
teach children about the Library, to answer their questions and
make sure the littlest ones have a positive playtime experience.
The Children's Room's busiest times are from 3-7pm, as well
as on Saturdays. Many families come to the Children's Room
together for a family activity, as well as attending weekly
children's programs.
Deeda read Book! Book! Book! By Deborah Bruss to the
Library Board, showing how she uses gestures, voice
inflections, facial expression, realistic animal sounds, and
interactive questions to involve the children in her Library
programs. The Board appreciated her presentation.
One of the Woodbum Public Library's strengths is the
staff's ability to truly listen beyond what a patron may clearly
express. Deeda noted that children often have questions, but
don't know how to ask them. Having staff take the time to
listen and suggest options, raises the Library from a place of
information to a true source of learning.
Deeda reminded the Board, and especially teens like
Yesenia, that volunteering at the Library is always welcome,
and that it is an excellent place to gain skills for future job
opportunities.
Activities: Lucky the Clown will be here at the Library on
Saturday, January 22, at 1:30 pm.
Volunteer of the Month: The Volunteer of the Month for
January is Mary Lou Bellante. Mary Lou has been a volunteer
at the Woodburn Library since 1991. She also volunteers at the
Police Department. She comes to the Library on Monday
mornings to do holds, finding and organizing books to be sent
to patrons at other libraries. She also shelves books, and helps
process discarded materials on the computer. Mary Lou is
enthusiastic, loving and a very valuable member of our
volunteer staff. She is a perfect choice for our Volunteer of the
Month.
CCRLS Update: The final training sessions at CCRLS were
held both yesterday and today. Tomorrow afternoon there will
be a question and answer meeting at CCRLS to cover any
problems or questions that have arisen at any of the seventeen
28
2
libraries in the CCRLS system. People have been encouraged
to mail their question in ahead of time, so that common
problems can be efficiently addressed. There are still some
glitches with the new Millennium system, as well as questions
on how to access certain areas. Dan and the Woodburn Library
staffhave been very good at adapting and adjusting to meet
patron needs, while using the new system. Difficulties in
implementing the new system have been addressed with
numerous e-mails to CCRLS. Dan has been instrumental in
working out a one-on-one training schedule with each staff
member. A practice module was available to use during
training, and Dan continues to update staff as he receives new
information.
The automatic checkout machine will eventually be operative
with the Millennium system, but it may take some time.
It is possible to go online to the Library's website with the new
system (www.ccrls.orgtwoodburn), and view what has been
checked out, place holds, renew materials, etc.
Holiday Closures: The Library will be closed on Monday,
January 17, Martin Luther King Day. Other Library holidays
include Monday, February 21, President's Day, and Sunday,
March 27th, which is Easter Sunday.
Friends of the Library.: Neal Hawes, Library Board Member
and treasurer for the Friends of the Library, reported that
preparation for Music in the Park is progressing. So far, there
is a $5,000 commitment from businesses to sponsor Music in
the Park concerts, which was the sum total of last year's
budget. PGE is a new sponsor this year, and has promised a
$1,000 sponsorship. Some of that money may be used to
upgrade the sound system.
John Brown will speak at the next Friends of the Library
meeting, which will be held on Monday, March 7, at 2:30 pm.
He will be bringing architectural drawings of the proposed
Plaza. This year the concert series will still be held in the
Library Park.
The Friends of the Library have agreed to sponsor the Fourth
of July concert at Centennial Park. Sandy Kinney is booking a
band for the event.
There' will be a Friends of the Library Book Sale on the 23rd
and 24th of April. This is slightly later than usual, due to
AARP Tax Aid needing the Carnegie Room until the tax
deadline of April 15th.
It was noted that the Friends need more members.

OLD BUSINESS:
Library Remodel: John Brown, City Administrator, asked
Linda to wait to apply for funding for the Library remodel until
after the Police facility ballot passed. That measure passed in
November, so Linda is now looking into applying for grants
that will help with the estimated $6 million dollar remodel.
The Friends of the Library will be launching the official fund-
raising for the project at a later date.
Election of Library, Board Officers: Catherine Holland was
elected President of the Woodburn Library Board, 2004-2005;
Kay Kuka was elected Vice-President; and Yesenia Chavez,
the Board's student member, was elected Corresponding
Secretary.

Parks and Facilities - Randy Westrick
Randy stated that he would not report at this time, as the following agenda
items would update the Board on parks and facilities.
Community Center Task Force - Status Report
Mayor Figley reported on the history of the Community Center Committee
that was in place when former Mayor Jennings was in office. She explained
after her appointment as Mayor, her desire was to still pursue the vision of a
Community Center. She then made the decision to revive the committee
and transition it to the Community Center Task Force. Her goals were:
· Secure funding to build it without using property taxes
· Think programming, and community needs as a priority
· Don't think too small, keeping community growth in mind
With RDI guiding, focus groups were formed, needs assessments were
made, the Task Force toured other Oregon facilities, observed different
programs and researched funding sources. It is now the desire to make a
formal recommendation to the Recreation and Parks Board. The Task Force
recommends a split facility with an Aquatic Center expansion, and a facility
at Legion Park.
Eric Matthews, of Surround Collaborative Architects Inc. presented the
facility footprint plans to the Board and suggested the next step would be a
feasibility study. The Board discussed parking spaces and Eric explained
that the feasibility study would show a clear picture of the appropriate
parking spaces needed. Herb Mittmann stressed the key to success of the
project was to finish the Park and Recreation Master Plan. Herb Mittmann
made a motion to ask the Mayor to appoint a sub-committee with
representatives from the Police Facility project, Community Center Task
Force, Mill Creek Greenway Committee and Recreation and Parks
Department to insure the Park Master Plan has all the components needed.
The motion was seconded by Rosetta Wangerin, and passed by unanimous
consent.
Mill Creek Greenway Master Plan
Randy gave a PowerPoint presentation to the Board on the Mill Creek
Master Plan. On February 8th the plan will be presented for a final review.
Herb asked Randy to recommend to the City Council to apply for design and
engineering grants to proceed in the southern area at Deer Run Trailhead.

Special Event Policies
Rosetta Wangerin asked clarification on the reason Legion Park was not
mentioned in the policy. Randy explained that the policy is addressing the
needs and concerns of Settlemier and The Downtown Plaza. Joseph
Nicoletti asked about fees and deposits, and Randy also clarified that
section. Herb Mittmann made a motion to recommend the policy to City
Council for approval and Rosetta Wanergin seconded the motion. The
recommendation was approved by unanimous consent.

Minutes for the October 5th Task Force meeting were distributed to the group
and approved unanimously following review.
Document Review
Pete provided a brief overview of the noise ordinance issue, where the City
received a number of complaints during an event held at Settlemier Park on
the weekend of September 11th and 12th, and a number of the complainants
attended the Council meeting held on September 13th to follow up on the
City's response to the issue. At the meeting, Pete noted, the Task Force was
given the responsibility to review the Noise Ordinance and recommend
changes, if necessary.
35
Pete introduced Bob Shields, the City Attorney, and Scott Russell, the Police
Chief, to the group, and stated that they would provide background and
guidance regarding Noise Ordinance legal and enforcement issues.
The first document reviewed was the Recreation and Parks Special Events
Permit Policy, which regulates events held in City parks. Pete noted for the
group that the Recreation and Parks Board has been given the opportunity
by Council to review the process defined by the Policy, and if applicable,
recommend changes to the Council. Pete also noted the Task Force review
of the Special Events Policy is intended to support the Recreation and Parks
Board's review of the Policy, and any recommendations made at this
meeting would be sent to them for consideration.
Based on their review of the Special Events Policy, Task Force members
began asking questions about implementation of the policy by City staff.
Jo Ann asked if the City requires and checks for proof of insurance from
event organizers. Bob indicated he would be surprised if we didn't, but
suggested that the Task Force pose this question to the Recreation and Parks
Board. Jo Ann asked if we bill event organizers for City time spent on
cleanups. Pete suggested that the group alsa pose this question to the
Board. Mike asked how City staff determines if the saund equipment is set up
correctly. Pete stated that in conversations with Randy Westrick, he had
indicated Parks staff would be directed to pay more attention to the setup of
sound equipment. The group agreed that the first recommendation to the
Board would be for City staff to make sure the setup is sufficiently tested
before and during events, particularly if there is a change in weather that
could effect how sound carries. Mike and Lisa noted that they had
attended an event at a park in Lake Oswego where speakers had been set
up around the perimeter of the event facing inward, and due to the number
and positioning of the speakers, sound broadcast over the system was easily
audible everywhere in the event area even when set at lower volumes, yet
was almost inaudible outside of the event area. They suggested that a
similar approach be taken with our event planning. Bob suggested that the
Task Force be very specific about this recommendation and others to the
Recreation and Parks Board. The group agreed that this approach to
speaker arrangement, including the specificity suggested by Bob, should be
recommended to the Board.
NOISE ORDINANCE WORKSHOP
OCTOBER 26, 2004
PAGE 2
Mike also suggested, and the group agreed, that sound and exhaust
produced by generators used by the event organizers should also be
thoroughly evaluated by City staff to reduce the impact on surrounding
neighborhoods. Pete suggested, and the group agreed to recommend, that
the Board consider establishing different decibel levels for different parks,
based on factors including the location of the park in relation to surrounding
neighborhoods. Jo Ann suggested, and the group agreed to recommend,
that event organizers be further limited as to when they are allowed to have
amplified sound, particularly in the evenings and on Sundays, and that
amplified sound duration between breaks be defined and limited as well.
Pete asked whether security provided by event organizers needs to be held
to a standard. Scott stated that security companies are held to a standard,
but that there is no 'accepted' security company lists because to date none
have been locally based. He noted that the City is familiar with some af the
problem security businesses, and will not recommend them for use during the
permit application process. If there are security issues at events regarding
drinking or other issues, Scott stated that the Police Department would
appreciate feedback from citizens, event organizers, and Pubfic Works staff
to best identify and resolve the issues. Scott stated that security companies
have had security problems resulting from staffing decisions based on
anticipated attendance at events, and actual attendance varying
significantly from initial estimates. Scott also stated that event organizers
manage security within the event, and the Police Department focuses on
external issues, and criminal acfivity within the event if it occurs. He said that
security at events has improved considerably in recent years, largely due to
the increasing experience of all involved, improved event planning, and
neighborhood relations. Jane and Lisa suggested that the after action
reports developed by the Police be shared with event organizers and other
City staff to help guide adjustments made to improve future events.
Mike asked whether event organizers receive a map detailing what areas
they are responsible for cleaning up during and following the event. The
group agreed a recommendation be made to the Recreation and Parks
Board to ensure that event organizers receive such a map, and that the
language in the Poficy be revised to require event organizers to implement a
garbage detail following events to focus on neighborhoods surrounding the
event area. The group also suggested that City staff strongly encourage
event organizers to improve their neighborhood relations efforts.
NOISE ORDINANCE WORKSHOP
OCTOBER 26, 2004
PAGE 3
Jo Ann asked if City staff is on site for the full 8 hours per day during the
event, as spec/tied in the Policy. Mike indicated that yes, Public Works staff
are on site during events and that employees are on-call on the weekends,
but that he was unsure if there was a staff member on site for a full 8 hours
per day. The group agreed that this question should be posed to the
Recreation and Porks Director. Jo Ann also asked if there is sufficient City
staff available during the workweek to enforce the various provisions in the
Special Events Permit Policy, and the group again agreed that this question
should be forwarded to Randy Westrick.
Pete suggested that a central phone number be distributed to surrounding
neighborhoods and the public in general to call to report issues relating to
special events in public parks, and the group agreed that this should be a
recommendation to the Board.
The group briefly reviewed the decibel level examples handout, and then
moved on to the review of the City's Noise Ordinance. Jo Ann asked where
sound complaints are measured from, and Scott replied that measurements
are taken from the complainant's property, or from the property line if there
is no complainant.
Mike said that often it is the constant noise and deep base that can be as
much of a problem as high volumes. Scott stated that the decibel meters
measure on two different scales: the "A" scale is for higher pitches, and the
"B" scale is for lower pitches. Scott alsa noted that the City has received 437
calls year to date regarding noise ordinance issues; in approximately Y2 of the
cases the sound has ceased by the time an officer arrives, and less than 10%
of the incidents are prosecuted.
Bob stated that the new Noise Ordinance adopted in 2002 is very innovative
in the approach taken to regulating noise in the City. Ordinances
developed by some other jurisdictians have been tossed out due to reliance
on a subjective standard. He described how the new ordinance could be
divided into four essential parts: decibel level limits that can be objectively
determined through measurement; per se standards that exempt certain
types of noise and specifically prohibit others; amplified sound outside of a
structure, which requires a permit; and Spec/a/Events permits. Bob indicated
that legally, the new ordinance is much more defensible than the old
ordinance.
NOISE ORDINANCE WORKSHOP
OCTOBER 26, 2004
PAGE 4
Scott stated that there were operational issues as well as legal issues with the
old ordinance. A complainant would state that a sound was disturbing their
home, while witnesses at the home the noise was coming from would state it
wasn't, and without an objective standard it was difficult ta resolve these
noise ordinance issues. The subjective standard also meant an officer could
not be the complainant, leading to instances where clear violations went
unaddressed because there was no one willing to step forward and lodge a
complaint. There were also fairness issues with the old ordinance relating to
content, where certain types of music would receive complaints, and other
types of music at the same volume would not generate complaints requiring
enforcement. Scott stated that the new ordinance was more enforceable,
and has been far more successful in limiting problems with live bands and
other issues than the old ordinance.
Mike and Nancy asked if we could just lower the decibel level limits. Bob
responded that yes, we could, but City staff did an extensive study to arrive
at the current decibel level limits, and to change the limits we would need
some empirical evidence supporting our reasoning for revising the limits.
Pete noted that the quality or type of sound can have an impact on how
annoying it is, and that the standard based on decibel levels does not
necessarily take this into account. Mike agreed, and related a situation near
his home where a vehicle is parked out in front of the residence with the
stereo playing, and each time an officer tums the comer, the stereo is turned
down, and then turned right back up once the officer leaves. Scott
suggested that perhaps this was more an issue with educating the neighbors,
where Section 8Ia) of the Noise Ordinance specifically prohibits the use of a
sound amplification device outside of an enclosed building without first
having obtained a permit. Lisa also suggested that social pressure could be
used at neighborhood meetings and parties to encourage residents to not
violate the Noise Ordinance.
Scott stated that the reason the new ordinance has decibel level limits set
where they are is to ease enforcement by allowing officers to focus on only
two different types of zones, avoiding problems like those experienced in
Portland where officers almost have to be planners to enforce their noise
ordinance. Bob stated that the current ordinance is internally consistent,
and that chopping pieces out or inserting new sections can be problematic.
The group then briefly reviewed the Council minutes for the September 13tn
meeting, and then moved on to discussing the letter received from Ruth
NOISE ORDINANCE WORKSHOP
OCTOBER 26, 2004
PAGE 5
Wells. ,Scott indicated that officers had spent some time with her. Of the four
complaints received by the department, one was cancelled, two were
responded to within fifteen minutes, and the last was responded two within
one hour. The responding officers had tried to work with her and mediate
between Wells and the landlord of the property in question. He also noted
that the criminal activities referenced in her letter were not included in the
four complaints to the department, flo Ann asked whether we could address
sound problems with landlords rather than with tenants, as suggested in
Wells' letter. Bob stated that we try to cite the tenant first. We could
ultimately cite the landlord, but to da so we would need to prove that the
landlord has a certain level of responsibility for the actions of their tenant. In
his training of Police officers, he has told them to use their discretion, but not
to stretch. ,Scatt stated that we can do as much with Section 6(B) of the
ordinance as is defensible, but cannot move beyond that objective
standard otherwise actions become subjective, which is not legally
defensible. He suggested that this would be a major step backward, and
would move us to where we were with the old ordinance.
Pete stated that he is comfortable with the existing ordinance, and the rest
of the group indicated agreement. He asked if there is anything we should
take a closer look at in the Wells letter. Lisa said that most of Wells problems
are simply related to legal issues, laws that are already on the books. Pete
indicated agreement, and the rest of the group agreed to move on.
Public Meeting re Noise Ordinance Review
Pete suggested that the next step in the process would be to submit the Task
Force's recommendations regarding the ,Special Events Permit Policy to the
Recreation and Parks Board, and to pose other questions identified to the
Recreation and Parks Director. The Task Force wauld then hold a public
meeting to discuss the Noise Ordinance. Lisa suggested that we invite those
putting on events, such as the Woodbum Downtown Association, so they
can understand the impact of proposed changes on the ordinance. Pete
suggested we send a special letter to event organizers, neighborhood watch
captains, and to the complainants who attended the Council meeting. Pete
also asked that we place an open invitation in the newspaper, and that to
accommodate the larger group, that we hold the meeting in the Council
Chambers. The group agreed upon two alternative dates for the meeting,
December 2nd and 7th at 7pm.

Welcome
Pete briefly introduced the Livability Task Force to the members of the public
in attendance. He stated that the Task Force, does the fall and spring
cleanup, the flower baskets under the directian of Jo Ann Bjelland, the Front
Street neighborhood park with Betty Guzman leading the way, and several
other activities. Pete stated that this evening the Task Force has a very
specific goal in mind, and that is looking at the Woodbum Noise Ordinance
that was asked of the Task Force by the City Council at its September 13
meeting. He asked members of the public that would like to receive notices
of future meetings regarding the noise ardinance to sign the mailing list sheet,
and if they would like to make comments, to please sign the comment sheet.
Pete noted that one of the City's policies related to the noise ordinance,
which kind of grew out of it was the Special Events Po//cy of the Recreation
and Parks Department. He said that the Board will be reviewing that
document, and that they did ask the Task Force for comments. The Task
Force has made recommendations, and the Board is now handling that.
Pete welcomed Randy Westrick, the Recreation and Parks Director, and
asked him to step forward and provide the Task Force and the public with an
update regarding their progress.
Staff Reports
Randy stated that back about three years ago, the City Council adopted a
series of policies that govern special events for the city's three community
parks; Legion Park, Settlemier Park and Centennial Park. Among the things
that are addressed within the policy are music, PA and amplified sound,
which provides the link to the noise ordinance. The noise ordinance limits
sound that comes from park amplified sound to 80 decibels at the park
boundary, although the current policy allows staff to put further restrictions
on an applicant. Randy noted that those further restrictions didn't help a
whole lot in September when there were a lot of complaints, even though
they had lowered the allowable decibels ta 70, which was still too high. The
Recreation and Parks Board learned of this problem in September, in
October they discussed in on their agenda, and in November discussed it in
much greater detail in anticipation of the December 14 meeting, when they
will be looking at a final recommendation to the Council. Randy stated that
one of the things the Recreation and Parks Board wants to do is establish
specific DBA limits, but do it during the sound check process before an event
starts. During that sound check process, they would like staff to do sound
checks with a DBA meter at the park boundary and also out through
neighborhoods. The new po//cy will also require public noticing, something
that was only recommended in the current policy. Randy also noted that
based on a recommendation from the Livability Task Force, staff will give the
event producer either addresses or a map that will outline the extent of
public notice, perform prior testing during the sound check, and then set
some specific standards that will be monitored throughout the event. Randy
stated that another new aspect of the revised policy is specific policies for
specific parks, including Settlemier Park and Warzynski Plaza, the latter in
anticipation of the new plaza opening next summer, lie also indicated that
the Board steered away from specific decibel limits beyond the 80 decibels
and putting restrictions on how an event producer sets up. The reason the
Board took this approach is because each event producer could have
different equipment, different goals with who they are trying the reach and
how they are trying to reach it.

Randy mentioned some af the park-specific policies; for Settlemier Park,
amplified sound would be allowed only between noon and 9 p.m. on Friday
and Saturday; from noon till 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; and no later
than 7 p.m. on weekdays. Approved amplified sound cannot exceed 6
hours in total, so between that noon and 9 p.m., there would have to be 3
hours of quiet time. And amplified sound would only be allowed for stretches
of 2 hours at a time and it would have to be broken up. It would need to be
broken up with 3D-minute intervals. Randy indicated Parks staff would do the
sound checks before the event and then set an objective standard at that
point based on what they hear at the park and what they may hear in some
of the neighborhoods. Randy also mentioned that when the Recreation and
Parks Board discussed this with some neighbors, the neighbors indicated they
would be willing to serve as guinea pigs for the testing process. The
neighbors initially suggested, but have since backed off on such issues as
limiting sound only ta the ball fields and keeping it out of the grove and out
of the gazebos, and limiting special even permits in that park to one day,
because they didn't want to paint the City into a comer. Their primary
contention was that for the recent event in Settlemier, there was too much
volume, it was for too long, and the time periods were too extended.
Specific policies relating to Warzynski Plaza include amplified sound be
allowed between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. April through October, followed by 10
a.m'. to 8 p.m. November through March. Randy noted that in November
through March, people tend to have their windows closed and the air seems
to be a little heavier so sound doesn't travel quite as well.
Randy stated that an additional change is that they are now requiring
notice, allowing neighbors time to plan for the events and to find ways to
avoid the noise, such as leaving for the evening or closing their windows.
Randy also indicated that the Board would like to revisit the issue in a year
once additional data has been gathered. Given its relative isolation,
Centennial Park has not been discussed yet regarding additional limitations.
Randy concluded by stating that he expects the Board to settle on a specific
recommendation this month, and will ask the Council to officially amend the
policy in January.
Pete stressed that this issue is sffil before the Recreation and Parks Board.
Randy agreed, and stated that all of those who had complained to the
Police Department and the Council are on a mailing list for meeting notices.

Jane asked how things went the previous Saturday, and noted that she had
heard there were over a thousand people downtown. Randy replied that
the sound did not carry very far, and could not be heard a short distance
from the event, and suggested that it appeared to be atmospheric
conditions that caused the dampening of the sound. Randy also mentioned
that the Tree Lighting Ceremony would be held the following weekend, and
that it would function as a trial run for many of the suggested revisions to the
Special Events Policy. Pete asked if any of the members had additional
questions for Randy, and hearing none, he thanked Randy for his update.
Pete then introduced Bob Shields, and said that he would be providing a
condensed history of the noise ordinance and overview of legal issues,
condensed because he had provided much af the material ta the Task
Force at the previous meeting.
Bob noted that there were 3 city councilors and 1 former mayor in
attendance, and that we are probably in the position that if something
needs to be done with this ordinance, we can prabably do that. Bob noted
that the previous noise ordinance was not even a page, was not atypical of
noise ordinances in other jurisdictions, and that similar ordinances can still be
found in Oregon and other places. The old ordinance says that no person
shall create or assist in creating or permit the continuance of loud and
disturbing noise in the city of Woodbum. Bob said that legally one of the
reasons we looked at this is that loud and disturbing noise is sort of in the ear,
not the eye, of the beholder in trying to determine what the term "loud and
disturbing" really means. He said that if you are talking about unnecessary
noise and loud noise, if you don't have any kind of measurement of it at all,
then that is a concern. He mentioned a ruling in the Salem Municipal Court,
which, although not binding on the City, st///remains a concern, where
several years ago a Municipal Court judge did find that a similar ordinance in
Salem was overly vague. He said that this was explained to the City Council
in 2002 when they chose to pass the new ordinance, which is more modem
and presumably a better ordinance, although as with any new ordinance, it
is not perfect.
Bob said that the new ordinance has four essential parts: first is the decibel
level limits, and the second is prohibited noise, which is similar to parts of the
previous ordinance that Council decided to leave in, but is more specific
than the old ordinance, such as prohibiting the repeated sounding of an
anti-theft alarm system, and limitations on demolition and construction
NOISE ORDINANCE PUBLIC MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2004

except between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. These are what lawyers would call per se
violations, which must still be proven, but do not necessarily require a decibel
meter. Bob said that decibels are very specific, but the number of decibels
you are going to require, that is something that varies from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction and it is usually based on what seems to reasonable to the Ioca//ty
in terms of different violations that will occur if they're not met. He noted that
sometimes you catch in the net violators that you really are not trying to
catch, and yet officers need to reply across the board as it is written.
Bob said the new ordinance has a limit of 60 decibels between 9 p.m. and 7
a.m. where the property receiving the noise has a residential zoning
designation, and then 70 decibels between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., so it is higher
during the day where the property receiving the noise has a residential
zoning designation. And in the new ordinance, the limit is 65 decibels
between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. at night where the property is something other
than residential, which would generally by be commercial or industrial. And
then up to 80 decibels between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. during the day again,
where the property receiving the noise has a zoning designation which is not
residential. He stated that the third essential part af the ordinance is the park
situation, which Randy had already covered.
Bob continued, stating that the fourth part of the ordinance would be the
general sound amplification permits. In the old ordinance, in terms of why to
grant permits, why not to grant a permit, there really wasn't anything in
there. In the new ordinance, permits are granted at an administrative level
based on criteria established in the ordinance. The enforcement of sound
amplification permits requires some officer discretion in enforcing this
provision; denials can be appealed to the City Council.
Pete asked if the ordinance, now that it was two year old, had presented
any legal difficulty upholding all or part of it in court. Bob responded that no,
there hasn't been any legal problems with the ordinance, and that is
partially due to his having worked with our Municipal Court Judge when the
ordinance was being developed to get her input, and she went through it
fairly thoroughly. Although, he cautioned that the ordinance is only two
years old, and remains fairly untested.
Pete asked if there were any more questions for Bob, and hearing none, he
introduced Scott Russell, and said that he would be addressing enforcement
issues and statistics.
NOISE ORDINANCE PUBLIC MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2004
PAGE 5
Scott indicated that the old ordinance came before Council for revision for a
number of reasons. One was due to the legalities and some of the issues that
were happening in case law. The other issue really was enforcement
problems the Police Department had with the ordinance. Scott noted that
under the previous ordinance "if it disturbs me, it is too loud." They often
would get in situations where the officer would respond and take complaint
on a noise violation, get a signed complaint, come in to court with their
witness in tow who would testify that it disturbed them, and the defendant
would bring in 1,5 other neighbors that said it didn't disturb them. He said this
dynamic/ed to a lot of dismissals an what they thought were legitimate noise
complaints. That was one of the major problems with the ordinance with the
way it was enforced. A/sa, it was here again, what is disturbing and what is
not. The Police Department had several issues with different establishments
and there were even households where there was a lot of noise, but an
officer could not be in a grieved party or it couldn't be too loud for the City.
So the Police had to find a complainant to sign a complaint. That meant live
bands in neighborhoods where officers were waiting around at 3 in the
morning trying to find somebody to sign a complaint and were just not able
to solve the prablem. There were a lot of unhappy citizens, although they
may not be willing to step forward and sign the complaint, there were still
upset that this was going on. Scarf stated that those were a couple of the
reasons that the Police Department came before the Council two years ago
asking for a change in the ordinance.
Since that time, the Police have been enforcing this ordinance and it has
had its issues, although not nearly as much as the previous ordinance had.
Scott stated that their role in enforcing the ordinance begins with an
investigation and then some sort of remedial action or enforcement action,
and then if there is enforcement action, they have the prosecution of the
case. Sound in Woodbum is regulated two ways. The per se violations that
are a violation regardless of decibel level and then the decibel violations. In
the per se violations, ampfified sound outside of the structure is included, and
those do fall into the area of officer discretion. Is it a loud speaker out in the
yard or is it merely an am/fm radio in the gardene.-that is an issue for
discretion and a lot of it depends on what the sound is and what conditions
are present.
Scott continued, stating that when officers go out to enforce, they try to
identify the type of complaint and violation. Is it one of these per se issues or
NOISE ORDINANCE PUBLIC MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2004

PAGE 6
is it decibel standarde. They begin looking and investigating and trying to get
evidence. That evidence might be statements of the person complaining, it
may be a meter reading on our decibel meters which have the beneficial
ability to capture that data and then print it out and present it to the court.
The next step is finally taking some action to resolve it, whether it be
mediation or mitigation of the event or actually issuing a citation.
Scott stated that so far this year, the Police Department has received 571
noise complaints, as of today, that they have responded to. Most of those
are resolved through some sort of mediation or mitigafian. About 2 - 3
percent do get citied and go to trial. The Police have not lost any of those
cases at this point, and are 100 percent in that regard. Some of the issues
found in enforcement include officers trying to balance people's right to
expression with people's right to peace and quiet in their existence. Scott
noted that it can be a balancing act and certainly while they are doing
that, they have to be mindful of peaple's civil rights and civil liberties to do
what they da.
Officers also have to contend with the interaction of sounds between
different uses. The City has commercial uses and noncommercial uses of
property, and some of those zones are right up against each other. He
noted that this can be challenging when you have certain types of business
trying to conduct business right next to residential zones. He also noted that
there are the same issues that Randy talked about with atmospheric
conditions and other conditions impacting sound.
He stated that perhaps the biggest challenge they have is tl~at the
ordinance is more complex than the previous one. They think it is better, but
it is clearly more complex. Their biggest challenge is the challenge they
have in all factors of law enforcement: effective communicatian. Their
ability to communicate with citizens what is actually in the ordinance and
their ability to listen and try to find out what they are seeing and what they
are hearing and what elements of a violation might be there. He stated that
miscommunication happens, but that communication skills are the biggest
tool that officers have in their toolbox, and same officers are better at using it
than others. They work to hire the best communicators available, but he
noted that even from his conversations with the Task Force, there were some
misunderstandings about different parts of the ordinance, and so it is
important that afficers continually communicate with the citizens what is in
the ordinance to help the citizens, and the citizens are able to communicate
NOISE ORDINANCE PUBLIC MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2004
PAGE 7
with officers. Scott noted that as Bob said, ordinance adjustment is certainly
possible, and the Police support what recommendations are made and
what Council directs. Although he suggested caution in that any changes
will have consequences, good, bad, and unintended consequences. He
emphasized that as the group discusses the ordinance, they recognize that
there are enforcement issues involved and it makes a difference in how the
Police can do their job depending an how the ordinance is laid out.
Jane asked if Scott had said 57! complaints, and Scott replied that that is
correct. Jane asked out of thase, what percentage are repeatse. Scott
replied there are some of those, but that he doesn't have that statistic on
hand, and offered to find out. He stated that what they try to do with repeat
complaints is identify them as part of their community policing program to
solve the problem, rather than continuing to respond to the same problem
over and over again.
Pete mentioned instances where a complaint would be made, an officer
would arrive, and the violator would turn down their stereo until the officer
departed, and then turn it right bac/< up. Pete asked how officers respond to
situations like that, do they ignore the call or do they talt~ to the complaining
party if a name has been lefte. Scott responded that it would depend on the
event. He said that since we are talking hypothetical, he could tell Pete
what he would do, and that is his expectation what his officers would do. He
said that the officer would contact the complainant if the complainant were
willing to talk about what the complaint is and who the offending party is.
More often than not, Scott noted, if you can get to the offending party, you
can eliminate repeat calls and ongoing problems. Most people don't want
that kind of contact with the police. If it is an ongoing problem at that point
and it is a matter of their turning it off before the officer gets there, if it is a per
se violation, the officer can take a statement from that citizen and issue a
citation based on that, if it is an amplified sound outside of a structure
situation. If it is a sound coming from within a structure that is falling under
the decibel level, Scott said that is a little mare challenging. He continued
that the officer is going to have to work with the citizen that said this is an
ongoing problem, and find out if the citizen can tell the officer when it is
occurring, and perhaps ~he officer can make an concerted effort to get
there and get a decibel reading so the officer can take enforcement
actions.
NOISE ORDINANCE PUBLIC MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2004
PAGE
Pete asked if he has a neighbor who is bugging him about a situation like
that, should he continue calling the Police, or would he get in trouble after a
while if he kept calling and the problem remains unresolved. He asked if he
should keep a record or a log that he can give the officer who is responding,
so the officer could look at what has occurred. He further asked what Scott
would suggest if he were going to educate the public regarding the process
they should follow. Scott responded that t(eeping a log is a good idea in any
circumstance, because that helps the responding officer establish what the
pattern is. But one of the big problems that he has in talking with citizens that
have issues is, has the citizen called the Policee. The response he often hears
is "well, yeah I called one time, but nothing happened and I don't call
anymore." Scott said that unfortunately, other people do call-they are
running about 20,000 calls a year-and if a citizen doesn't call, someone else
is calling and officers are going to help resolve their problem. He said he
always encourage folks to call, and said that you can't call too much. He
asked that if is not an emergency, do not call 911, but the more input they
can get, the more effectively they can identify the issue, and the more help
they can give citizens in helping to resolve the problem. Scott said that if the
Police don't know about it, they are going to be dealing with someone else
who is letting them know about their problem. He noted that a lot of citizens
are afraid to do that.
Phyllis asked it is a plus or minus for us to have the fiestas once a month in the
downtown at the plaza. Scott asked her plus or minus in what way, and she
responded in reference to the noise, traffic, and other issues. Scott said that
they've had few if any complaints, and that it appears that the events draw
families and citizens into the downtown, pushing some of the criminal
elements out of the downtown area.
Pete said that Scarf had mentioned the complexity of enforcing the
ordinance, and asked if there is something that could be changed in the
ordinance to make it simpler, or is it just a matter of training and experience~.
Scott replied that officers regularly deal with issues more camplex than the
Noise Ordinance, so it certainly isn't faa complex for them. He indicated that
what he was trying to communicate is that explaining the nuances of the
ordinance to a complainant can be difficult: the per se violation and the
decibel level violation, the different zones and times included in the decibel
level violations, and sa on. Scott said that he has not heard of any officers
having difficulty understanding the ordinance, and rather what he is hearing
is that the new ordinance is clearer, and more easily enforced.

Nancy stated that her problem with this ordinance is the zoning designations,
for instance the plaza is downtown and residential neighborhoods are within
a block. She asked where is that line, because on a clear day when sound
travels at its best, she suspects the surrounding residential area is being
impacted at the same rate, at the 80 rather than the 70. She stated that
that there are very few unaffected areas, Centennial is somewhat isolated,
but in the future it won't be either. She said that if there are two different
zones, the lesser af the two sound limits should take precedence. She
suggested that the sound limits in neighborhoods near parks should be 70
decibels, while right now, Settlemier Park has an 80 decibel level limit, and
asked if this was correct. Scott responded that if you look at the decibels
under Section 6, haw that is identified is that of the property receiving the
noise. He said that if you are in a residential area and you call the Police
about a noise complaint and an officer comes to your house with a meter,
that meter reading will be based upon what your zoning is, where you are
getting the noise. It is not elevated because it is coming from somewhere
else. He said that what she was talking about with the parks is merely a
reflection of all the rest of town because there are houses next door to
restaurants and other establishments and manufacturing facilities; that issue
is everywhere. He stated that the ordinance itself was designed so that the
property receiving the naise is cantrolling the issue, not the property
generating the noise. Nancy responded that perhaps the limit in the plaza
would not be at 80 decibels because the property around it would be
affected. She suggested that this is still a little loud, and that the nature of
the plaza is that there isn't any ground to absorb the sound.
Pete mentioned that sometimes when pre-event readings are taken, there
isn't anyone there, and people and boaths tend to absorb some of the
sound, so when everyone is there at the event and there are still high
readings, that is something to be concerned about. He asked if there were
any other questions.
Nancy suggested that we should, as a society, have the decibel levels as Iow
as possible to protect young ears from excessive noise levels that can
damage hearing over time. Phyllis stated that often times you can hear the
base from car stereos two blocks away in your house. Scott responded that
there are two decibel level measurements, the A level and the B level. The B
level is the base level. They have the ability to switch between each type of
measurement, and suggested that if you can feel it, it is off the scale. Nancy
NOISE ORDINANCE PUBLIC MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2004
PAGE 10
inquired whether Scott has the necessary equipment to measure sound.
Mike asked if all of the Police Department's meters have that ability, and
further asked whether complainants need to specify that it is the base that is
bothering them. Scott replied that all the meters they have can measure
both types of sound, although to read each type they need to be switched,
and he suggested that if this is the problem, it would be helpful if
complainants were to tell the officer. Jane asked if the Police had enough
meters for every officer on duty, and Scott responded no, they have two
meters. He noted that the Sergeant has one and there is one out with the
officers, and that this has generally proven to be enough, but they will look at
the issue in the future and consider adding mare meters.
4. Public Comment Regarding the Noise Ordinance
Pete said that he was hoping to have more folks at the meeting, but asked
anyone in the public wha would like ta comment to step forward. Jim Cox
(1530 Ranier) noted that most af those in attendance new he was a City
Councilor. He stated that of the 571 complaints in 2004, with 2-3 percent
resulting in citations, this means there wauld be between 11 and 17 citations
in Municipal Court so far in 2004. He asked Scott if this was correct; Scott
replied in the affirmative. Jim continued, stating that he presumes the other
97 or 98 percent fall into one of two categories: either Scott's officers are
able to contact the allegedly offending property-the person who is
generating the noise-and talk to them like a Dutch uncle and tone things
down and that is the end of it, which is probably the best way to resolve a
situation. Jim noted that the other one is where the complaint is so unclear
that the officer can't identify or locate the offender, or for whatever reason
the officer is simply unable to do anything very substantive about the
camplaint. He asked if this would be generally where the remainder fallse.
Scott again replied in the affirmative, and stated that in fact, that about 70
percent fell into that category, unable to locate or gone on arrival.
Jim stated that the reason he came down tonight is because there has been
an ongoing problem in his area, and Scott is well aware of it. Although, he
said he hasn't heard about it for the last few months, and hoped that the
situation has resolved itself and the guy hasn't just gotten tired of calling. Jim
said that the man's name is Bob Day, who lives on Country Club. Jim
continued, stating that incidentally, Bob Day is a nice man, and he is nat the
kind of guy to complain, so if he says he is disturbed, Jim said he believes him.
Jim also noted that he thinks it is good that we do have objective levels,
NOISE ORDINANCE PUBLIC MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2004
PAGE 1 1
decibel levels, and for most situations it is much better than the old system.
But, he suggested that based an the following comments, he would
recommend that in some situations, the decibel levels be lower than they are
now. He suggested that the difference between 60 and 70 decibels for
instances, doesn't sound like a very big increase, which he stated is
incorrect. He said the increase from 60 to 70 decibels is not a 15 percent
increase; it is an increase of 10 times. He noted that he doesn't purport to be
a sound engineer, but it is his understanding that 70 decibels would be 1(]
times as loud as 60 decibels. He said that where you set that decibel level
at, just varying it a few points, can make a big difference in the perception
of those who hear it. Jim noted that when he got involved in this, listening to
8ob Day's stories and referring him to Scott Russell, and this happening two or
three times-Mr. Day has always complimented Scott on his willingness to sit
down and talk about these things and be helpful-but it is a continuing
problem because he is right across the street from the bar in back of the
Chinese Restaurant where the single family zone is on one side of the road
and the commercial zone is on other and the commercial zone in this case
has music at night. Jim said 8ob Day's complaint is essentially twa fold: one,
particularly on summer nights when it gets warm inside the club and they
prop the doors open to give them more air, the amplified music comes out
as late as lam and wa/~es them up from their sleep, and the City can't ga
after them as he understand it for violation of the amplification provision
because it comes within a closed building even if it goes out the open door.
Two, he also complained about the fact that when they start to close the
bar down and everybody gets a little happy with the juice they've been
drinking, they come out and turn on their diesel pickups and rev them and
ma/~e a lot a noise departing the place with loud conversation. Principally,
Bob has told Jim it is the music. Jim said he suspects the noise from the
vehicles, there is probably nat much we can do about that unless we can be
there when it occurs, or can be handled under a compliance plan under the
OLCC. He continued, stating that the music has potential for being
disturbing, particularly late at night and in the summer when it wa/~es you up
out of a sleep, which does happen according to Mr. Day and his neighbors.
Jim said that he did some checl~ing, including Portland's ordinance, which
has a limit 5 decibels lower than we do as permitted level af noise into
residential areas at night. He suggested that we consider lowering ours by 5
decibels. He indicated that he tried to get a test he could perform himself sa
he could hear it and change these numbers on paper, 60, 70 and so forth
into how that really sounds. Sergeant Prinslow came out and tried ta help
him, but unfortunately, he discovered that if the wind is blowing, you don't

get any reliable readings. He said that it is basically a microphone covered
with foam rubber like stuff and the wind just makes so much noise that the
readings become impossible to rely on, it was windy when the Sergeant
came out, and Jim never followed up to try it again. He suggested it would
be interesting if a test were done in the hall or the back of the room where
the volume on a radio was slowly increased, and he said he suspects you
would think it was really loud by the time it got to 60 decibels, and that you
would not want that coming into your house at 1 a.m. He suggests this might
be a useful test, because Portland does have a 5 decibel lower limit. He alsa
indicated that another possibility would be to have a different decibel level
at 10 p.m. than you would at 1 a.m. Or midnight, and perhaps break it down
even further, because a naise that is ok at 9 p.m. wouldn't be acceptable at
midnight. He said that most people are still up at 9 p.m., but by midnight,
most people are asleep. He suggested this is another way of addressing the
problem, and encouraged the group to think of other ways the ordinance
can be fine-tuned.
Pete said that he would rather not focus on just one case, but at the same
time, were there other complaints from neighbors, or is it just this one
individual~. Scott responded that he has worked with a graup of neighbors
and Mr. Day on that same issue. He said they'd had officers out there trying
to get a reading, with citation in hand ready to lay it, but the officers were
not able to get enough level on the machine. Scott also said that the cars
leaving and the activities around that establishment are part of the Po//ce's
responsibilities, and that they've worked with the neighbors, OLCC, and the
business owner to try and resolve that problem.
Frank Lonergan said that he was surprised that more citizens hadn't come to
testify. He stated that he lives right in the downtown area, and that the
sound at recent events in the Plaza hadn't been too bad. He noted that
during the summer the noise was sometimes noticeable, particularly the
deep base, and the length of time sound was amplified at some events also
was a problem. He said that Scott had been effective at addressing many
of the problems, and that he had expected there to be more problems
associated with naise made by animals. Frank also said that he agreed with
Jim in that he would like to hear the difference between 60 and 70 decibels.
He noted that during the summer, the length of time noise is amplified at
events becomes a problem later in the evenings. He also suggested that
yard maintenance equipment can be an issue, particularly something like a
chainsaw running between 8 and 9pm. He said that he has received several

calls from constituents regarding amplified radios, and that with only two
officers with meters, by the time they arrived the offender had turned it off.
He said he was concerned that we can't do anything without the officer
hearing and measuring the sound.
Pete thanked Frank for his comments, and asked if there were any other
comments from the public. Hearing none, he closed the public discussion
portion of the meeting and opened deliberatians.
Task Force Deliberation and Recommendation
Mike asked if it would make a difference if we were to educate the public
more about the decibel level limits, and to round the limits to more easily
identified levels, like 60, 70, 80, rather than 65 or 75 decibels. Scott
responded, stating that the public is not sure of the different sound levels
anyway, so to have them set at 65 or 75 decibels shouldn't make a
difference. He said based on their initial evaluations, a 5 decibel reduction in
the limits would not have a negative effect on enforcement. But, he said
that real data on the change could only be obtained after making the
change. He noted that if we were to consider regulating noise coming from
other zones, we would need to develop a matrix in the Ordinance, which is
significantly more difficult to administer than the methodology we use now.
He commented that using a matrix for noise received between zones almost
requires officers to become zoning technicians.
Nancy asked where noise is tested from, the center line of a street, from the
offenders property, or where. She suggested that if it was tested from the
offenders property line, it would solve the problem of different zones. She
also said that the difference between 70 and 65 decibels is a good place to
start, and suggested we see how it functions for a year.
Pete asked the Task Force if they were confident with recommending a 5
decibel reductian in the decibel level limits. Mike said he thinks so, and that
he is interested in seeing further testing done. He said he is able to hear
some of these events in his home, which is some distance away. Pete noted
that the wind can affect how sound carries, which he has experienced with
events occurring at the high school, which are inaudible at times and at
others he can hear clearly in his home.

Jane suggested that the Recreation and Parks Board revisit the placement of
speakers, because she felt it would have a significant impact on noise
coming from events, and was concerned fhaf Randy Wesfrick had indicated
the Board was not planning on requiring if. Mike, Pete, and other members
of the Task Force voiced their agreement fhaf this be strongly recommended
to the Board.
Nancy asked what the zoning designation was for a street, where changes
between zoning cafegor/es occur, and where we measure for noise
complaints. Scott responded, stating that based on testing, readings of a
normal conversation at 3 feet are 70-72 decibels, measured af 12 feet are
65-68 decibels, and measured across the street barely tip the meter af 5
decibels or less. He said that these tests indicate distance makes a huge
difference in how loud a sound appears to the listener. He said he has two
concerns: first fhaf a conversation on a back porch could violate the
ordinance if the measurement was taken af the property line, but would be
hard fo justify when it barely impacts a listener next door; second, he said
that if is difficult fo determine zoning on a street. Bob said fhaf if is very
important fhaf we address these issues. He said that there is a legal concern;
if we fake measurements consistently in each instance. Jim agreed with
Scoff, stating that the best place to measure is at the property of the
complaining party, because they are whom we are trying fo protect. Nancy
said fhaf she agreed.
Phyllis asked about the situation where couples are yelling and screaming af
each other in front of a bar. Pete suggested fhaf this is an OLCC
enforcement issue.
Pete recommended that a public information campaign, including water bill
flyers, pamphlets that enforcement officers can use, and so on be used to
educate the public about the ordinance, and how to make a complaint.
Scott mentioned that Javier Perfecto, the City's Community Relations Officer,
helped develop a pamphlet and developed a video for broadcast on WCAT
when the new ordinance was adopted, and that these materials could be
reactivated. Pete further suggested that a pamphlet be developed that
instructs citizens how to complain, the procedures they follow when making
a complaint. Pete called for a rate, and the Task Force unanimously agreed
with the recommendation.
NOISE ORDINANCE PUBLIC MEETING

Pete asked the Task Force if that would be their recommendation to the
Council, a 5 decibel reduction on decibel limits. ScOtt inquired whether the
recommendation was a reduction on each category.' Pete asked if the
group wanted the reduction to apply to industrial areas as well. Nancy
asked if there had been any complaints in industrial areas. Scott responded
that there hadn't been any that he can recall. Jane asked that of the
successful citations, how far were the violators over the limit. She asked
whether, rather than lowering the limits, it is an enforcement issue. Scott said
that he is nat aware of statistics regarding this, but he said that most
camplaints are in residential areas, and that regardless of where the sound
comes from, the property receiving the noise prevails. Scott said that since
there have not been any complaints in industrial zones, they have not
studied the issue.
Nancy recommended that the 5 decibel reduction be applied throughout
the categories in Section 6IAI of the Noise Ordinance, including industrial
zones. Pete and Jane seconded her recommendation, and the Task Force
unanimously supported the recommendation.
Future Agenda Items/Goal Setting Meeting
Pete asked Matt to work with John Brown on identifying possible dates for the
goal setting meeting, and to communicate those possible dates to the Task
Force before finalizJng the meeting.

SUBJECT:

Hearing to Consider a Supplemental Budget
RECOMMENDATION:
Council direct staff to return an ordinance reflecting the Council's decision
following the hearing.
BACKGROUND:
Each year in January staff performs a thorough review of financial operations
and recommends changes to the budget based on current estimates of
revenue and expenditures.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed revision to the 2004-05 budget adjusts Beginning Fund Balance to
actual for all funds where the variance is greater than $10,000. For all other
funds the difference is immaterial and no change is proposed. The City began
2004-05 with $957,368 more in Fund Balance than what was anticipated in the
budget. Fund Balance in the General Fund is $256,062 greater than the amount
budgeted in 2004-05. (1)
The estimate of Qwest Franchise Fees is decreased $19,000 (19.0%) to reflect first
quarter receipts. A decrease is consistent with current reports of traditional
telecommunication companies suffering declining revenue as a result of
customers' shift to mobile phones. However, the magnitude of the decrease
reported by Qwest seems unusually large. Woodburn has joined with 68 other
Oregon cities to audit Qwest and Verizon for compliance with local franchise
ordinances. (2)

Cable TV customers are defecting to the dish, resulting in decreasing revenue
for the cable operator and reduced Willamette Broadband Franchise Fee
revenue. The current estimate is $3,000 less than the original budget. (3)
Revenue from Fines has not matched expectations. Current estimates are
$110,000 less than the original forecast. This is a direct result of open positions in
the Police Department. When positions are open, the Traffic program is
reduced, causing both Court Fines and Towing Fees to decline. (4)
Pool revenue is decreased $27,400. Revenue is down as a result of Molalla
opening their new pool, and Silverton covering their pool so that it can be used
year round. In addition to the lost revenue from patrons to these two pools,
Woodburn has also lost the revenue from the high school swim teams in Molalla
and Silverton. (5)
Current estimates of Liquor Tax collections for the year are $12,000 (5.4%) less
than budgeted. The budget is adjusted accordingly. (6)
Cigarette taxes are now estimated to be $3,000 less (6.8%) than the original
budget. The revenue is reduced by that amount. (7)
The Library secured a Learning to Read grant for $3,400. (8)
The caseload in Municipal Court has increased dramatically in recent weeks. A
half time clerk ($6,180) is added to the Court budget to match the existing
workload. (9)
Insurance premium costs fluctuate with market conditions and can change
quickly. Since the budget was adopted general liability and property premiums
have risen more than anticipated. $15,100 is added to the General Fund to
fund the increased costs. (10)
To complete the work on the Association Building $65,000 that was unspent last
year needs to be carried forward to this year, and $18,500 needs to be added
to cover the cost of recent change orders. The carry forward occurs within the
Capital ClP Fund, and a transfer from the General Fund will provide for the
increase. (11)
Woodburn is providing other jurisdictions with secure access to the Police report
writer and to LEDS. This service had been via a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
That arrangement had been plagued by problems of both speed and reliability.
7O
Mayor and City Council
January 20, 2005

A dedicated server would avoid those problems, and the user jurisdictions
agreed to contribute their share of the costs. A dedicated server (Terminal
Server) has been purchased and has replaced the VPN. Capital Outlay in the IS
Fund should be increased by $5,900. Reimbursements from other jurisdictions'
total $3,300, and a transfer from the General Fund makes up the difference.
(12)
Realignment of the Police labor budget is necessitated by two conditions:
Patrol is the essential police function; open positions in that program were
backfilled from other programs to keep it fully staffed. Additional resources
were dedicated to the Patrol program to serve downtown, while the
Community Response Team was being implemented. (13)
Since adoption of the 2004-05 budget the Police Department has obtained
grants, received donations and entered into agreements with other jurisdictions
to pay overtime (and in some cases regular) wages. Projects funded in this way
include: meth enforcement, seat belt enforcement, DUll enforcement, bullet-
proof vests, and the school resource officer. Total new revenue from grants and
donations to the Police Department totals $81,712. (14)
The City's current police policy manual is dated and in need of ongoing
updates. This is an issue that must be addressed as the department pursues
accreditation. The City's insurer, ClCS, has offered to pay half of costs of
acquiring Lexipol, a top ranked provider of police policy manuals. The City's
portion of the initial cost will be $2,975. There will be ongoing subscription costs
to keep the manual up to date. (15)
The aging Police fleet is requiring more maintenance. In addition, five vehicles
were added to the Police fleet with no increase in the vehicle maintenance
budget. The average cost per vehicle is $300 monthly. Contingency is reduced
by $15,000 to provide funding. (16)
Unanticipated cost increases for Police requires budget increases in four areas.
Fuel costs rose by more than 20%, and have moderated to a level 5% above last
year's rates. Fuel is increased by $4,000. The addition of another Code
Enforcement Officer has resulted in more postage costs due to more certified
mailings. Postage is increased $1,300. The department recently upgraded the
wireless access technology for its mobile data units resulting in increased costs
($1,400). Other services are increased $1,300 to meet current projections. (17)

For the current budget Police had requested $14,995 in additional funds
requests that were postponed with the understanding that if the additional
budget were needed to maintain the 2003-04 level of service the budget would
be increased. Those funds are now needed to maintain the service level. (18)
A portion ($850) of the Hardcastle LID is owed by Parks. Because the amount is
small, and to avoid interest payments, that amount was paid off during the 30
day prepayment period. (19)
The Dance, Dance, Dance program lost its rehearsal space. An alternate space
has been found, but at an additional cost of $2,875. (20)
There has been a significant increase in program supply costs for the Recreation
program. Additional funds are needed to replace sports equipment and
training aids and to provide additional summer sports camp supplies. 35% of the
costs ($4,20.0) is expected to be recovered from the fees from new program
offerings. (21)
Increasing costs of softballs, drag mats, paint, and chalk require an increase in
the Softball budget of $1,500. This is funded from increased revenue as a result
of increased fees that were adopted last fall, but were not included in the 2004-
05 budget. (22)
Woodburn Together has authorized additional payments of $22,300 to the Teen
Scene Program. This money has been allocated to supplies ($7,000) and
contract recreation leaders ($15,300). (23)
Increasing fuel and utility costs necessitate an increase in the Parks
Maintenance budget of $2,350. (24)
Building Permit Revenue is forecast to be $26,398 less than budgeted. This is
based on current revenue plus estimates of projects already in progress. This
leaves the fund with an adequate fund balance ($299,439). (25)
Street construction and maintenance costs are budgeted in the year in which
the contracts are awarded. Contracts are usually awarded in the spring at the
beginning of the construction season, but the work is not completed until after
June 30. This causes a revision of the budget each year to increase Beginning
Fund Balance by the unspent amount and appropriate those dollars in the new
year. This is the case in 2004-05. Beginning Fund Balance is being increased by
$303,526, and construction costs are increased by $200,000. However, in next
'/2

year's budget the timing difference will be addressed in a way to avoid these
annual budget revisions. (26)
An additional $6,550 is appropriated in the Street Fund to provide for various
increased costs. Livability standards have increased in recent years with the
removal of tires, trees, and other unwanted materials, which has resulted in
additional solid waste disposal costs ($2,700). The aging fleet is requiring more
maintenance ($2,250). Land use permits are now required on City projects, but
no money was budgeted for that purpose. $500 is appropriated for permits.
Fuel costs have risen driving the need for an additional $1,100 for fuel. These
changes leave a contingency of $87,494 in the Street Fund, which is adequate.
(27)
In November the voters of Woodburn approved issuing $7,066,000 of bonds to
construct a new Police facility. Preliminary design work is funded from the
General ClP Fund ($9,000). A new fund, the Police Construction Fund, is
established to account for the transactions relating to the bond sale and the
construction. Total revenue will equal the bond proceeds. Expenses will include
the costs of issuance ($152,000), Interest ($5,000) and construction ($6,909,000).
The interest is the cost of borrowing money ($500,000) from the TIF Fund in order
to get the design phase started now. Waiting for the sale of the bonds would
delay the project two months, which could mean delaying construction one full
year. (28)
In this year's budget the cost of the Plaza was budgeted in the Urban Renewal
Fund, but it was not included in the General ClP Fund. Until Urban Renewal
bonds are sold the General Fund and the General ClP Fund will front the
necessary money. They, in turn, will be reimbursed from the tax receipts in the
Urban Renewal Fund. In the General ClP Fund $270,000 is added to the
revenue, Reimbursement from Urban Renewal, and the expenditure is
appropriated in Other Capital Improvements. (29)
The Burlingham Trust has approved a grant for $29,990 for the completion of a
third ball field at Centennial Park. $30,000 is added to the General ClP fund for
capital construction. (30)
$8,900 is transferred from the Parks SDC Fund to the General ClP Fund to pay for
the Legion Park Master Plan. (31)
$28,000 is transferred from the Parks SDC Fund to the General CIP Fund to pay
for Community Center Planning. (32)

In preparing the 2004-05 budget $4,030 was approved in the ClP for the
purchase of picnic tables. However that amount was not included in the line
item budget for the General ClP Fund. It is added now. (33)
In the Street/Storm ClP Fund the McKinley project budgeted last year was
completed this year requiring $175,366 to be carried forward. Land use permits
are now being required on City projects, and $500 is appropriated to cover that.
The costs for soil and material testing for compliance with contract
specifications were underestimated and are increased $5,000. After these
changes Contingency is at $771,582, which is adequate. (34)
Equipment budgeted in the Sewer Construction Fund last year was not
delivered until this year. $39,717 needs to be carried forward to cover the
purchase. Land use permits are now being required on City projects, and $500
is appropriated to cover that. After these changes Contingency is at $152,026,
which is adequate. (35)
In the Water Construction Fund the purchase of land for a
budgeted last year, but the transaction was not completed
$22,000 should be carried forward to provide the funding. (36)
new well was
until this year.
Actual costs of the meter reading program in the Water Fund have risen above
the amount budgeted. To cover actual costs this year the budget for technical
support of the meter reading devices should be increased $1,500, printing
should be increased $6,000, and postage should be increased $4,000. After
these changes Contingency is at $329,363, which is adequate. (37)
Staff understated the fund total for the Sewer Fund in the material it offered to
the Budget Committee when it was adopting its recommendation to the City
Council. Because state law allows the Council to increase budgets by only 10%
above the Budget Committee's recommendation, the situation could not be
completely corrected when the budget was adopted. The only satisfactory
solution was to ask the Council to adopt a supplemental appropriation restoring
the Sewer Fund budget to the correct amount. The total increase of $210,500 is
composed of electricity $144,000, natural gas $4,000, equipment repair $57,000,
other services $5,000, and fuel $500. These changes restore the Sewer Fund
budget to the totals that were originally in the Recommended Budget. After
these changes Contingency is at $9,952, which is should prove adequate. (38)

Appropriations in the Public Works T & E Fund are increased $17,050. The
distribution of labor costs is adjusted to add $9,800 in PW Administration. (39)
Also in the T & E Fund appropriations are increased to fund increasing fuel costs
($500), lab testing ($3,500), inventory stock for the mechanical garage ($2,500),
and contracted management services ($750). After these changes Contin-
gency in the T &E Fund is at $136,162, which is adequate. (40)
Increasing fuel and natural gas costs necessitate'a budget increase to those
objects in the Building Maintenance budget totaling $2,750. After these
changes Contingency in the Building Maintenance Fund is at $19,459, which is
adequate. (41)

Resolution Authogzing the Sale of Bonds
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the sale of $7,066,000 of
General Obligation Bonds for the purpose of constructing a Police facility
BACKGROUND:
At a general election on November 2, 2004 the voters of Woodburn approved

incidental costs of constructing, equipping, and furnishing a City police facility.
The attached resolution sets the terms of the bonds.
The bonds will mature over a period not to exceed 21 years.
The Council designates the Mayor, the City Administrator, and the Finance
Director as authorized Representatives to act on behalf of the City.
The bonds are general obligations of the City. The full faith and credit of the City
are pledged to the owners of the bonds for the punctual payment of the
obligations. The City covenants with the bondowners to levy annually a direct

The resolution provides for early redemption of part or all of the outstanding
bonds, if the City chooses to do so.
The City covenants to use the proceeds of the bonds so that interest paid on the
bonds will not be includable in gross income of the bondowners for federal
income tax purposes.

By approving the sale of the bonds, the voters of Woodburn authorized annual
tax levies outside the permanent tax rate. The taxes available from the
permanent tax rate for operations will not be reduced fo pay the debt service
on the bonds, which is estimated to be about $560,000 in the first year and
$550,000 in subsequent years.

will comply with the requirements stated in DTC's Operational Arrangements as they
may be amended from time to time.
Under the Book-Entry System, the Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a single fully
registered certificate, one for each maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the
ownership of such Bonds shall be registered by the Registrar on the registration books in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The City and the Registrar may treat DTC

other purposes whatsoever; and neither the Registrar nor the City shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary. The Registrar shall not have any responsibility or obligation
to any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through
DTC or any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the registration books
of the Registrar as being a registered owner, with respect to the accuracy of any
records maintained by DTC or any Participant; the payment by DTC or any Participant
of any amount in respect of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the
Bonds; any notice or direction which is permitted or required to be given to or received
from owners under this Resolution; the selection by DTC or any DTC Participant of any
person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds; or any
consent given or other action taken by DTC as owner; nor shall any DTC Participant or
any such person be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of any owners' rights under
this Resolution. The Registrar shall pay from moneys available hereunder all principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of DTC, and all
such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's
obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. So long as the Bonds are held in the
Page 4- Council Bill No.
Resolution No.
99
Book-Entry System, no person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond for
each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the Registrar to make
payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Resolution.
Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of DTC's written notice to the effect that DTC has
determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the
provisions of this Resolution with respect to transfers of Bonds, the term "Cede & Co.," in
this Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
At any time it determines that it is in the best interests of the owners, the City may notify
the Registrar, and the Registrar will subsequently notify DTC, whereupon DTC will notify
the DTC Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event,
the Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange, at the City's expense, Bond certificates
as requested in writing by DTC in appropriate amounts. DTC may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written
notice to the Registrar and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under
applicable law. It DTC resigns as securities depository for the Bonds, Bond certificates
shall be delivered pursuant to this section. Under such circumstances (if there is no
successor securities depository), the Registrar shall be obligated to deliver Bond
certificates as described in this Resolution, provided that the expense in connection
therewith shall be paid by the City. In the event Bond certificates are issued, the
provisions of this Resolution shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and
exchange of such certificates and the method of payment of principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Bonds. Whenever DTC requests the Registrar to do so, the
Registrar will cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after written notice (a) to
make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the Bonds to any DTC
Participant having Bonds credited to its DTC account, or (bi to arrange for another
securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Bonds.

Lawson/Highway 214 Intersection
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff to begin process leading to a traffic revision at intersection of Lawson
Way and Highway 214, by choosing one of the options outlined below:
Option 1 - Maintain two-way pattern on Lawson. Buy additional property
to resolve current problems.
Option 2 - Make Lawson one-way, southbound. Resolve current problems
without purchasing additional property.
Option 3 - Make no changes at present time. Advocate for changes
during interchange improvement project.
BACKGROUND:
The improvement is needed to reduce the possibility of accidents. Sidewalks
and curb are broken, because semi-trailer trucks turning dght from Highway 214
to Lawson Ddve have damaged them. The same trucks frequently swing wide,
occupying the northbound lane of Lawson, creating potential conflicts for other
motorists.
The project is listed in the ClP for fiscal year 2004-05, with a budget of $29,000.

DISCUSSION:
Future Conditions
In the proposed I-5 interchange improvement project environmental assessment
Lawson Avenue will become a dght turn in only intersection. There would be an
approximately 150-foot long drop lane on Highway 214 that will carry vehicles
into the right turn movement. (The drop lane will occupy much of the current
frontage of the Chevron gas station. Because of changes in vedical grade
along this frontage, no access will be provided from Highway 214 to the
Chevron parcel.) There would be no exit onto Highway 214 from Lawson
Avenue. That is, turns from Lawson to Highway 214 (in either direction) will not
be possible.
Business access on Lawson Avenue was an important consideration for
members of the environmental assessment Local Access Committee and
Stakeholders Working Group. To provide access to the businesses along Lawson
it is proposed that Lawson Avenue remain open for two-way traffic from Stacy
Allison Way to at least the private access that is located south of the existing
McDonalds restaurant. There has been discussion of another business access for
land between Lawson Avenue and the interstate and there is an access option
in the current environmental assessment for an additional access south of the
existing Chevron gas station. This proposed access option would allow for two-
way traffic on Lawson up to this access. The environmental assessment will be
completed by summer 2005.
Present Options
The options discussed herein are interim solutions, which deal with modifications
that will have a limited lifetime - only until the Interchange project is completed,
some five or six years from now.
Option 1 - Maintain two-way pat/em on Lawson: this will require acquisition of
about 0.03 acres of property at the southwest corner of the intersection.
Construction would include about 200 feet of new curb, gutter and sidewalk.
Two handicapped ramps would be installed at the same time. Construction of
this alternative will enable large trucks to negotiate the intersection without
leaving their allocated lane in either Highway 214 or Lawson Drive. This
alternative, less real estate, is estimated to cost $13,200. The cost of property
acquisition will depend on actual appraised value and calculated area. For
budget purposes, a comparison can be made with cost of nearby property
recently acquired by ODOT on the north side of the highway. This cost was
$17.50 per square foot. If an area of 0.03 acres costs, say, $20 per square foot,
106
Honorable Mayor and City Council
January 20, 2005
Page 3
the cost of land for Option 1 will be about $28,600. Appraisal fees, design,
survey, and construction staking can be expected to cost an additional $3,500.
Option 2 - Make Lawson one-way, southbound: this will consist mainly of
changes in roadway signing and striping.. No property will be needed to
accomplish this Option. Repairs to the existing curb would be made. Lawson
Drive would be designated "one-way" south of the 214 intersection. If no
additional property is acquired, and the current geometry at the curb line is not
changed, large trucks will continue to need to "swing wide" in Highway 214 (into
the center left turn lane) as they approach Lawson. This condition can be seen
on the sketch for Option 2. The sketch for Option 3 shows changes in lane
designation that will occur at the south end of Lawson, at Stacey Allison.
Option 3 - Make no changes at present f/me: these changes to be
accomplished during interchange improvement project. This will be consistent
with the transportation plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project can be paid from State. Revolving Fund. Option 1 will cost
approximately ,$48,000, with contingency. Option 2 can be expected to cost
$4,800. City maintenance forces can perform sign revisions, needed for all
options, whose cost may be on the order of $2,500.

Livability Task Force Recommended Noise Ordinance Revisions
.RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council direct staff to prepare an ordinance
amending the Noise Ordinance (Ordinance 2312) Section 6(A) to uniformly
decrease the maximum sound levels identified within each classification and
timeframe by 5 decibels.
BACKGROUN_n:
At its September 13, 2004 meeting, the City Council considered citizen concerns
regarding noise levels at events held at City facilities. The Council referred the
matter to the Livability Task Force to conduct a public discussion on the City's
Noise Ordinance, and to the Recreation and Parks Board to consider changes
to the Special Events Policy.
The Livability Task Force and the Woodburn Recreation and Parks Board sent
meeting notices to concerned citizens and published the notices in the paper,
conducted meetings and received oral and written testimony from the public,
consulted with City staff, and prepared recommendations.
Based on this process, the Task Force recommends the Council amend the
Noise Ordinance (Ordinance 2312) Section 6(A) to uniformly decrease the
maximum sound levels allowed within each classification and timeframe by 5
decibels. The recommended revisions are attached (Attachment 'A'). A
separate item on the Council's January 24, 2005 agenda addresses the
Recreation and Parks Board's recommendation related fo the Special Events
Policy.

DISCUS__~J.Q~:
The Task Force believes the noted reduction will address many of the problems
identified by members of the public, and better reflects the border line between
acceptable and unacceptable noise levels in the community. The Task Force
also recognizes the difficulty of anticipating enforcement issues before the
change has been made, and based on a conversation with the Police Chief,
suggests that Council revisit the issue in one year or less, if necessary, to evaluate
the effectiveness and enforceability of the change based on actual
enforcement experience.
The Task Force further felt that many of the issues identified by the public could
be resolved by a public education campaign. To improve the effectiveness of
the Noise Ordinance as a regulatory tool, the Task Force recommends the City
renew the multi-media public education campaign developed when the new
Noise Ordinance was adopted in 2002. This included local access television
programming, written materials, and an article in the Quarterly Newsletter.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs of enforcing ordinance revisions and amounts of offsetting fine
revenues are unknown. This information will be tracked, and presented to
Council for its consideration as part of the annual evaluation of this activity.

Special Event Policies Revisions
RECOMMENDATION:
As recommended by the Recreation and Parks Board, adopt the revised Special
Event Policies.
BACKGROUND:
At the September 14, 2004 meeting, the City Council heard complaints
regarding noise associated with the Viva La Independencia celebration held at
Settlemier Park the weekend of September 12 & 13, 2004. In response to these
concerns, the City Council asked the Recreation and Parks Board to consider
changes to the City's Special Event Policies that will better regulate and
mitigate sound at large special events in City parks.
The City's Special Event Policy regulates the use of City parks for large special
events that will attract more than 1,000 visitors or require the exclusive use of an
entire park. These policies set forth regulations for:
· Fees;
· Insurance;
· On-site management staff;
· Grounds set up;
· Event Security;
· Alcoholic beverages;
· Music and sound;
· Dancing;
· Nails in trees;
· Associated permits;
· Utilities;
· Restrooms;
· Trash cans and refuse removal;
· Public access;
· On-site vehicular access;
· Off-site parking;
· Neighborhood relations; and ·
· Vendors and exhibitors.
The Recreation and Parks Board discussed the Music and Sound section of the
policies at their October 12, 2004 meeting. At this meeting, the Board decided
Agenda Item Review: City Administrator -i'~' City Attorney j~'~ .~ Financ~
114 ·
Mayor and City Council
January 20, 2005
Page 2
to craft specific policies that pertain to sound at Settlemier Park and, in
anticipation of future development, Warzynski Plaza.
On November 8, 2004 and December 14, 2004, the Board invited concerned
residents and event organizers to express concerns about the sound issue. The
Board also discussed the matter at their November 17, 2004 workshop.
Additionally, the Board received written comments from the City's Livability Task
Force. On January 11, 2005, the Board agreed unanimously fo recommend the
attached policy to the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
While initial focus was on the "Music/PA" policy, the Board is recommending
other changes to clarify the organization of special events. Below is an outline
of the proposed changes.
· Within the Grounds Set Up Plan'Section, the Board proposes adding
staging equipment and adding Recreation and Parks Department fo the
reviewing agency.
· Within the Music/PA section, several changes are proposed. These
include:
o Designating the Recreation and Parks Department as the lead
department in monitoring sound. The policy identifies the Police
Department as a consulting department.
o For both Settlemier Park and Warzynski Plaza, the Policy proposes
changes that restrict amplified sound to specific times, on specific
days of the week. At Warzynski Plaza, these restrictions change with
certain months of the year.
o For both Settlemier Park and Warzynski Plaza, the Policy limits
amplified sound to six hours per day. Amplified sound sessions can
last only two hours and must include a break of at least 30 minutes
between sessions.
o For both Settlemier Park and Warzynski Plaza, specific dBA limits for
each event will be set during pre-event sound checks and in
consideration of sound checks on the park property and within
surrounding neighborhoods. In addition, the Policy clarifies that
amplified sound includes music and public address.
· The revisions include clarifications that describe when a Dance Permit is
needed.
· Within the Neighborhood Relations section, the Policy revision requires
instead of recommending that event organizers give notice to
surrounding neighborhoods. The Recreation and Parks Department will
115
Mayor and City Council
January 19, 2005
Page 3
determine the limits of notification and provide organizers with a map or
addresses for canvassing.
These changes address specific concerns expressed by neighbors, ideas from
the Livability Task Force and observations from staff and event organizers.
The Recreation and Parks Board considered recommending measures that
would restrict the placement of speakers to specific locations within each park.
The Board has not recommended that the Policy include these details. They are
concerned such measures would limit flexibility and because of equipment
limitations, could restrict some event producers from staging quality events.
However, the Policy does give the Recreation and Parks Department the
authority to review set up plans and direct the placement of speakers to
locations that will curb impacts to surrounding neighborhoods.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Additional expense will be incurred for monitoring equipment. This expense is
expected to be less than $200. Also, additional staff time will be necessary to
monitor noise. This expense will be covered by fees calculated when a Special
Event Permit is issued.
As a part of the next fee review, staff will review the costs associated with the
Special Event Policy and recommend changes.

MUSIC/PA
All amplified music or use of a PA system in any park is regulated by the City's noise ordinance. The
ordinance limits amplified sound to 80 dBA at park boundaries. However, to minimize impacts on
surrounding neighborhoods, the Recreation and Parks Department will regulate the location and
placement of all PA systems used as a part of a special event and will establish dBA for each event and
for each park through prior testing. DBA will not exceed limits listed above. The Recreation and Parks
Department site management personnel in consultation with the Police Department will monitor and
regulate sound volume. Specific park restrictions apply to Settlemier Park and Warzynski Plaza as
follows:
Settlemier Park
· Amplified sound is allowed between noon and 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
· Amplified sound is allowed between noon and 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
· On each day for which amplified sound is approved, amplified sound will not exceed six hours in
total duration and will be allowed only for two consecutive hours with a minimum of 30 minute
breaks between amplified sound sessions.
· Amplified sound including music and public address (announcing voice) must not exceed the
established dBA limit for each event.
· Specific dBA limits for each event will be set after monitoring noise levels within surrounding
notified neighborhoods (see Neighborhood Relations section) during the pre-event sound checks.
Warzynski Plaza
· Amplified sound will be allowed between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m., April through October; and 10 a.m. to 7
p.m., November through March.
· On each day for which amplified sound is approved, amplified sound will not exceed six hours in
total duration and will be allowed only for two consecutive hours with a minimum of 30 minute
breaks between amplified sound sessions.
· Amplified sound including music and public address (announcing voice) must not exceed the
established dBA limit for each event.
· Specific dBA limits for each event will be set after monitoring noise levels within surrounding
notified neighborhoods (see Neighborhood Relations section) during the pre-event sound checks.
DANCE PERMIT
Any public dance activities associated with a special event requires a dance permit issued by the
Woodbum Police Department. A "public dance" is any dance not held in a private home or residence
which is open to the public. Public dancing will not be a permitted activity without an approved permit.
NAILS IN TREES PROHIBITED
To keep trees healthy and to protect maintenance workers, the use of nails in trees is prohibited. Should a
saw ever be needed to remove or repair a tree, nails can damage equipment and severely injure workers
should a saw strike a nail. Therefore, the use of nails in trees is prohibited.
120

OTHER APPROVALS AND PERMITS
Apart from permits required by the City of Woodbum, it is necessary to obtain other permits and
approvals from other agencies to conduct an event. These permits and approvals include, but are not
limited to, the following:
A. For food booths, organizers must require vendors to obtain the approval of the Marion County
Health Department.
B. For any carnival rides, organizers must obtain inspection and approval of the State of Oregon,
Building Codes Division.
Event organizers may be required by the City to show written proof that these permits were secured.
Organizers should keep these permits on premises during the event and be prepared to produce them
immediately upon request.
UTILITIES
Some parks have 110V/20 amp electricity available for special events. This may not be adequate for your
event. Should you require additional power and need to bring in a generator(s), all placement of
generators must be noted on the approved Grounds Set Up Plan. This includes large generators that serve
multiple booths or attractions and small generators that serve individual booths or attractions.
The use of propane for cooking during a special event is acceptable. However, such usc is subject to thc
inspection and regulation of the Woodburn Fire District.
RESTROOMS
Within Woodburn's parks, events that fall within the Special Event Policies will require portable
restrooms. The City requires organizers to provide one portable restroom for every 125 expected visitors
at any given time the event is open to the public. Five percent of all portable restrooms must meet ADA
standards for accessibility. When portable restrooms are required, the first portable placed on site must
meet ADA standards. When restrooms are required in two or more locations, each location must include
an ADA approved restroom, organizers will clean and service these facilities on a frequent basis
throughout the event.
TRASH CANS & REFUSE REMOVAL
Event organizers will require each vendor or exhibitor to provide two trash cans for each food vendor (at
least one for public use and at least one for vendor use) and one trash can for non-food exhibitors.
Exhibitors will be required to empty these trash cans as needed.
The City requires organizers to provide at least one trash can for every 125 expected to be in attendance at
any given time the event is open to the public and will empty the trash cans on a continual basis so that
they do not overflow. These trash cans are in addition to those provided by vendors and exhibitors. The
121
Special Event Policies
City of Woodburn
Page 5
City will make available to the organizer all trash cans normally available within a park as well as any
others within the Department's inventory that are not in use at another park or event. Event organizers
are responsible for all expenses to remove litter and trash from a park or facility.
Event organizers will continually patrol the park to pick up litter before, during and after an event is open
to the public.
PUBLIC ACCESS
Event organizers with permission (through an approved Grounds Set Up Plan) MUST adhere to that plan.
At no time will an event be allowed to put fencing across a sidewalk or other public right of way without
the written permission of Recreation and Parks Director or his/her designee.
Stakes put into the ground to support fencing cannot exceed 8" in depth without flagging of underground
utilities. No staking is allowed on any paved surfaces without prior approval from the Recreation and
Parks Department.
ON-SITE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC
To ensure the safety of event visitors, organizers and exhibitors, vehicular traffic within any park during
the hours an event is open to the public is prohibited without permission from the City's on-site staff.
Approved vehicular movement is restricted to designated paths, roads and parking areas.
OFF-SITE PARKING PLAN
Since parking at Woodburn's parks is limited, the City will require event organizers to submit off-street
parking plans that will reduce impacts to surrounding neighborhoods. This plan will document
agreements with off-site parking lot owners to use parking lots and transportation companies or agencies
to transport event visitors. The plan will also provide a schedule and a route that shows drop-off and pick
up points.
NEIGHBORHOOD RELATIONS
Because large events have a significant impact on neighborhoods, after an application is approved, the
City requires event organizers to notify with fliers the surrounding neighborhood. The flier should
include dates, times and a description of the event planned. It should also invite the neighborhood to
participate in the event and provide a City phone number to call should a concern arise. The City will
provide event organizers with a mailing list or street map with addresses to delineate the extent of flyer
distribution. Event organizers should plan a neighborhood clean up detail to pick up litter left by event
organizers who park throughout residential neighborhoods and business districts.

VENDORS & EXHIBITORS
Event organizers are responsible to communicate all park and event rules, regulations and permit
requirements. Vendors must also complete application forms supplied by the City. The City expects that
organizers will make every effort to seek compliance with these rules. However, the City reserves the
right to expel from a facility any vendor that the City determines is not in compliance with provisions of
the permit or City rules & regulations. The City will report suspected code violations to appropriate
regulatory agencies.

Dear Mr. Westrick,
Following your comments regarding progress on revisions to the Recreation and
Parks Special Events Policy made at the Livability Task Force public meeting held on
December 2nd, Task Force members expressed concern that their original
recommendation to require event organizers to position speakers along the perimeter of
the event area to direct the sound inward and away from adjacent neighborhoods was
not included in the proposed revisions to the Special Events Permit Policy.
The Task Force recognizes that event organizers often have limited sound
equipment, and to place the speakers at the perimeter of the event would require more
speakers and lengthy cords than the organizers are likely to possess. However, the Task
Force encourages staff and the Recreation and Parks Board to explore creative ways in
which this goal of directing sound inward and away from neighborhoods can be
accomplished without causing an undue financial burden on event organizers, and
incorporating the solution(s) into the Special Events Permit Policy.
Thank you again for your efforts to resolve noise issues in the parks, and also please
express our thanks to the Recreation and Parks Board for considering our
recommendations regarding the Special Events Permit Policy, and for their careful
examination of the issue. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Pete at
(503)982-5741.

Honorable Recreation and Parks Board Members,
As you are aware, following the Celebration of Mexican Independence event held
on September 1 l~h and 12th at Settlemier Park, over 30 citizens called the City to complain
about the sound levels emitting from the park into their neighborhoods during the event.
Approximately 1/~ of those complainants came to City Hall on the following Monday to
complain in person, and a group of citizens attended the following City Council meeting
held on September 13, 2004 to express their concerns to the Council. At the meeting, the
complainants were told the Woodburn Livability Task Force would review the Recreation
and Parks Special Events Policy and the noise ordinance in general, and the Recreation
and Parks Board would also review the Recreation and Parks Special Events Policies.
Subsequently, the Task Force reviewed the noise ordinance and was educated by
the Chief of Police and the City Attorney regarding enforcement and legal issues,
developed recommendations to the Recreation and Parks Board regarding the
Recreation and Parks Special Events Policies, and offered their support to the Board in
their decision on the subject.
Based on the review, the Livability Task Force respectfully offers the following
recommendations to the Recreation and Parks Board to consider as you review the
Special Events Policies.
In addition to the recommendation by the Recreation and Parks Director to
develop set-up plans that direct sound away from neighborhoods:
a. perform rigorous testing on sound setups before each event to limit adverse
impacts on surrounding neighborhoods;
b. include sounds and exhaust emitted by portable generators in the set-up
plan, which can often be substantial; and
c. explore requiring event organizers to use more speakers dispersed throughout
the event area set at lower levels and placed in a circular pattern facing
inward, a tactic that Task Force members noted has been used effectively in
another regional city, thereby eliminating the need for large speakers set at
high-volumes to cover the entire event area.
2. Implement different sound level limits for each park, depending on proximity of the
park to noise-sensitive areas.
3. Limit the duration of amplified sound, specifically:
a. The duration in which continuous amplified sound is permitted, which
becomes increasingly irritating as it continues unremittingly over many hours;
and
b. Amplified sound on Sunday evenings, which precedes work and school days,
and should therefore be limited to an earlier hour than permitted Friday o'r
Saturday nights.
Require, rather than "encourage," most, if not all of the provisions detailed in the
"Neighborhood Relations" section.
a. The provision that event organizers plan a neighborhood detail to pick up
litter is of padicular impodance. Fudhermore, event organizers should be
given a map that clearly defines the areas they are responsible for cleaning
following the event, inside the park and in the surrounding neighborhoods.
b. Task Force members noted that requiring the posting and publication of a
special phone number for questions and complaints would help alleviate
concerns and resolve conflicts before they occur.
The Task Force appreciates the opportunity to provide the Recreation and Parks
Board with these recommendations, and would like to lend our support to the Board for
their decision on the matter.
Please note for your Board and the public that the Task Force will hold a public
meeting to discuss the Noise Ordinance on December 2nd at 7pm in the Woodburn City
Hall Council Chambers, and invite all who are interested to attend.

Pete McCallum, Co-Chair

Last September the Recreation and Parks Department allowed an event in Settlemier Park that
authorized amplified sound as part of a Special Event Permit the weekend of September 11 & 12,
2004. The amplified sound at that event generated several complaints from the surrounding
neighborhood regarding the volume and duration of the sound.
While the amplified sound produced at that event did not exceed or violate limits outlined by the
permit or within the City's Special Event Policies, the disruptions to surrounding residential
neighborhoods is a concern. To minimize the effect that future events could have, the City Council
has asked the Recreation and Parks Board to review the City's Special Event Polities and make
recotranendations ~g amplified sound.
Following the September event, your household expressed concerns tegatfling the sound at the Park.
Therefore, you axe invited to attend the next Recreation and P~&.~ Board meeting to express your
concerns about amplified sound at authorized events within City ~ The Board meets next to
consider flxis issue as follow~

WOODBUR [
January 13, 2005
TO:
FROM:
Mayor and City Council through City
Scott D. Russell, Chief of Police/
Administrator
SUBJECT: ClS "Lexipol" Law Enforcement Agency Grant
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council authorize the City Administrator to accept a
grant from City County Insurance Services and execute an agreement with Lexipol
for police policy manual services.
BACKGROUND:
The current Woodburn Police Department policy manual entered service in 1997.
Padicular sections of this manual have been revised since issuance, but it has never
been fully reviewed or revised. In addition to the policy manual, a separate book
of General Orders is also maintained in which department procedures that are
subject to change are outlined. The traditional standard has been that policy
should be set and rarely changed, whereas procedure can change regularly and
should be separately maintained.
This has presented some logistical problems however including: inconsistency in
policy direction and application between the two documents, complex and
intertwined review and renewal processes, and the overall complication of rules
and procedures located in two documents for employees who must adhere to and
apply them quickly and accurately. Modern thinking in this area holds that a single
policy & procedure manual should be maintained that contains both the set
policies and the changeable procedures, thus eliminating some of the mentioned
issues.
Currently the department is in the process of accreditation through the Oregon
Accreditation Alliance. Accreditation provides standardized policies and practices
across law enforcement agencies to assure, not only proper methods and
practices, but also fo reduce liability. The accreditation process will require the
review, restructure, and consolidation of the current policy manual and the general
order book to meet accreditation standards and then the generation of a series of
"proofs" that show the depadment is actually in compliance with the policies and
procedures. ~

DISCUSSION:
Our insurer, ClS, who recognizes the benefits of and is supporting our accreditation
pro]ect, has also recognized the challenges associated with accreditation for
agencies our size which must do a tremendous amount of high level work to bring
policies into compliance. In order to assist us, ClS has developed a grant to pay half
of our initial subscription fee to "Lexipol," one of the nation's premier writers of
police department policy manuals, in order to provide us with a customized,
modern, accreditation ready, set of policies. In order to take advantage of the
grant we must agree to pay the other portion of the initiation fee and also agree to
subscribe to the L. exipol policy update and training service for one year. This service
will provide us with an annual review and renewal for legal and best practice
changes to all the policies and procedures and daily training on them for each
officer. If after one year we do not see value in either service, we can choose not
to renew one or both, but will retain all rights to the new policy manual.
Preparing policies and procedures is the most arduous part of the accreditation
process and requires review of each policy at the command level. In our case, our
best estimate is that this would require technical writing and review by a command
level officer on a full-time basis for no less than nine (9) continuous months or part-
time for a period of over three (3) years. Lexipol will provide a quality product at a
much less time and cost. It will also incorporate Lexipol's best practice experience
gained from working with over 200 other law enforcement agencies. ClS tells us
they believe both Lexipol and accreditation will reduce agency liability and loss.
Accordingly, they intend to track the loss ratios of agencies that have adopted
Lexipol policies against those that have not and may adjust insurance rates
accordingly in the future. If approved, our customized policy manual would be
generated over the next five (5) to six (6) months.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The initiation fee for Lexipol for our agency is $5950.00. The ClS grant will contribute
$2975.00, leaving a balance of $2975.00 to be paid by the City in FY 2004-2005. The
grant requires the purchase of one year of the Lexipol annual policy update
subscription at $2450.00 and the Lexipol annual policy training plan at $2790.00. This
would be a total of $5240.00 for the FY 2005-2006 budget. These funds would need
to be allotted from the Police Department Budget as pending approval in the
current mid-year review and in the upcoming FY 2005-2006 budget.

RE: Cl · E A r
Dear Mr. Brown,
Thank you for your expression of interest in participating as an initial LexJpol grant recipient.
Lexipol is CIS' newest flak. management service. Lexipol promises to be an efficient and
effective way fOr your law enforcement agency to develop apprOPriate operating policy manuals,
update the documents on a regular basis and train officers to those policies.
Your agency is invited to be one of 30 agencies in an initial pilot program that will work with
Lexipol to develop policies appropriate to a diverse group of agencms based
and agency mission You will be e,,,-,,-~..., ........ ' on g raohv, si ,~

usefulness of the product and training services. Your views will help ClS to determine our future
""~ "'~' uuve~opment process and the
involvement with the program.
If you wish to accept this Invitation, we ask that you do the following:
1. Provide Cl8 with a letter from your governing body indicating their support for your
participation in the program. We need to know that your entity is willing to fund 50% of
the development fee shown in the schedule below (determine the amount based on half
of the development fee shown for the number of sworn officers in your department). We
also need your commitment to fund policy updates and training fees in the agency's
FY2005-06 budget proposal (see table below for those amounts).
2. Execute the attached agreement with Lexipol. The agreement describes the products
and services Lexipol will provide and the obligations you agree to undertake in order to
receive policies that are functionally operable and legally compliant in Oregon, and
tailored to your unique circumstances. Policies are written in plain language capable of
being understood clearly by officers in the field, public' officials, and the general public
whether as interested citizens or jurors.
A Membership Service Of ~

To ensure that the policies fit Oregon's legal environment, Lexipol has contracted with Steve
Kraemer, a trial attorney with Hoffman Hart & Wagner, who handles many of ClS' police liability
cases. Lexipol will also be working through Public 'Safety Liability Management (PSLM), a
company led by former McMinn.ville Police Chief, Rod Brown. Rod and his staff will assist grant
recipients (and others interested in Lexipol sewices) in the development of accredited policies.
The CIS Board of Trustees is pleased to extend this service to resource strapped agencies that
want to improve policies, but lack the dollars or manpower to dedicate to the task of developing
and updating policies on a continual basis. To find out more about Lexipol's specialized
experience in law enforcement policy development and training, you can access their web site
at www. lexipol.com
As a convenience to members, ClS will handle the billing and collection of Lexipol service fees
with its regular member billing cycle. If mid-year funding is a burden for smaller aaencies that__
othe~ qualify for Pilot program participation, ClS may be willing, to consider ~.llowing the
agency to defer payment until July 2005 in the new fL~al year. The table below Indicates
Lexipol pricing, which is segmented by size of agency, and based'on the number of sworn
personnel. (As a grant recipient, we will only bill you for one half of the development fee)

This statute allows ODOT to construct sidewalks, bicycle paths and equestrian trails within
highway right-of-way, provided the Department finds that such facilities will contribute to the
safety of pedestrians, the motoring public or persons using the highway. By adoption of this
plan, the Department of Transportation finds that sidewalks are necessary to contribute to

1971: ORS 366.514: Use of highway fund for footpaths and bicycle trails
back to top
Often referred to as the "Oregon Bike Bill," this law applies equally to bicycle and pedestrian
facilities. The law, the first of its type in the nation, requires the development of bikeways and
walkways. The intent was to ensure that future roads be built to accommodate bicycle and
pedestrian travel, where warranted. It also enables road funds to be used for constructing
bikeways and walkways along existing roads.
The main provisions of this statute are:
1. It requires ODOT and the cities and counties of Oregon to expend reasonable
amounts of the highway fund to provide bikeways and walkways.
http://www, odot. state, or. us/techserv/bikewalk/pl animag/laws, htm 1/24/2005
State & Federal Laws Relating to Bicycling & Walking Page 2 of 5
2. It requires the inclusion of bikeways and walkways whenever highways, roads
and streets are constructed, reconstructed or relocated, with three exemptions
(where there is no need or probable use, where safety would be jeopardized, or
where the cost is excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use).
ORS 366.514 drives most of ODOT's bicycle and pedestrian activities. Some of the provisions
of this bill have been misunderstood or misapplied, particularly the provision to expend a
minimum of one percent of the highway fund on bicycle and pedestrian facilities. See
Appendix C for ODOT's interpretation of ORS 366.514.
1973: ORS 366.112: The Oregon Bicycle Advisory Committee
back to top
This eight-member committee, appointed by the governor, acts as a liaison between the public
and ODOT. In 1995, the Transportation Commission officially recognized their role in
pedestrian issues; the committee became the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee. They advise ODOT in the regulation of bicycle and pedestrian traffic and the
establishment of bikeways and walkways. Members serve four years and hold meetings
quarterly. Members include:
An employee of a unit of local government employed in land-use planning;
A representative of a recognized environ-mental group;
A person engaged in the business of selling or repairing bicycles;
A member designated by the Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council;
At least one member under the age of 21 at the time of appointment; and
Three members at large.
1974: Statewide Planning Goals
back to top
Senate Bill 100 created the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC), which
established 19 statewide planning goals aimed at preserving the natural resources, farmland
and livability of the state. Goal 12 pertains to transportation and land use; it guides many of
ODOT's current programs.
GOAL 12: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient attd economic transportation system:
"A transportation plan shall (1) consider all modes of transportation including mass transit,
a#', water, pipeline, rail, highway., bic. vcle and pedestrian; (2) be based upon an inventory of
local, regional and state transportation needs; (3) consider the differences in social
consequences that wouM result.l~'om utilizing differ#tg combinations of transportation modes;
(4) avoid principal reliance upon an5' one mode of transportation; (5) minimize adverse
social, economic and environme.tal impacts and costs; (6) conserve energy; (7) meet the
needs of the transportation disadvantaged by intproving transportation services; (8)facilitate
the flow of goods and services so as to strengthen the local and regional economy; (9)
conform with local and regional comprehensive land use plans. Each plan shah inchtde a
provision.for transportation as a key facility."

Through this constitutional amendment, the voters of Oregon limited expenditures of the state
highway fund for use on streets, roads and highways only. The major effect this had on
bicycle and pedestrian facilities was that highway funds could no longer be used for
constructing paths in parks and other recreational areas, rails-to-trails conversions or education
and promotion programs.
1991: OAR 660-12: The Transportation Planning Rule
back to top
The Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted OAR 660-12, the
Transportation Planning Rule, to implement Goal 12 of the Statewide Planning Goals. It was
drafted in cooperation with ODOT. In essence, the rule requires ODOT and the cities and
counties of Oregon to cooperate and to develop balanced transportation systems. Two
important aspects of this rule are:
· It ties land use to transportation: and
· It mandates that transportation planning reduce reliance on any one mode of
transportation.
The link between land use and bicycling and walking is paramount. Most walking and bicycle
trips are short. Long distances between destinations are deterrents to walking and bicycling, as
are destination points designed for access only by automobile. Land use patterns created with
automobiles as the intended mode facilitate their use, perpetuating transportation patterns that
discourage walking and bicycling.
The Transportation Planning Rule addresses these issues through land use regulations and the
provision of transit and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Elements that Pertain to Bicycling and Walking
The Rule requires local Transportation System Plans to include a Bicycle/Pedestrian
component, establishing a network of biking and walking facilities throughout the planning
area (660-12-020(2)(d)).
Some of the key requirements relating to bicycling and walking are in 660-12-045 (3):
Local governments shah adopt land use or subdivision regulations for urban areas and rural
communities as set forth below. The purposes of this section are to provide for safe and
convenient pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular circulation consistent with access management
standards and the fitnctio, of affected streets, to ensure that new development provides' on-site
streets and accessways that provide reasonably d#'ect routes for pedestrian and bicycle travel
in areas where pedestrian and bicycle travel is likely if com~ections are provided, and which
ca,oids wherever possible levels of automobile traffic which might interfere with or discourage
pedestrian or bicycle travel.
(a) Bicycle parking facilities as part of nen,, residential developments' of four units or more,
new retail, office and institutional developments and all transit transfer stations and park and
ride lots.
(b) On-site facilities shall be provided which accommodate safe and convenient pedestrian

State & Federal Laws Relating to Bicycling & Walking Page 4 of 5
and bicycle access from within new subdivisions, multi-family developments, shopping centers
and commercial districts to adjacent residential areas and transit stops, and to neighborhood
activity centers within one half-mile of the development. Single family residential
developments shall generally inchtde streets and acces,sways. Pedestrian circulation through
parking lots shouM generally be provided in the form of accessways.
(A) "Neighborhood activiO, centers" inchtdes, but is not limited to, existing or planned
schools, parks, shopping areas, transit stops or employment centers.
(B) Bikeways shah be required along arterials and major collectors. Sidewalks shah be
required aJong arterials, collectors attd most local streets in urban areas, except that
sidewalks are not required along controlled access roaaheays, such as jS'eeways.
Detailed discussions of these requirements can be found in the design section of this plan,
including bicycle parking requirements and a model for developing local Transportation
System Plans.
Relationship between the Transportation Planning Rule and ORS 366.514
Subsection 660-12-020 (2)(D)(d) of the Rule refers to the requirements of ORS 366.514 when
it addresses bicycle and pedestrian facilities; ORS 366.514 requires ODOT to recommend
construction standards.
One of the purposes of this plan is to specify the appropriate types of bikeways and walkways
that will fulfill the requirements of the Transportation Planning Rule. For example, bike lanes
are the appropriate type of bikeway for arterials and major collectors; refer to the design
section of this plan for more details.
1991: Oregon Benchmarks
back to top
Senate Bill 636 requires the State to establish benchmarks to measure progress in critical
areas. The Oregon Progress Board was created to track these measures. Benchmarks are
adopted as a tool for stating concrete objectives, setting program and budget priorities, and
measuring performance. Transportation issues are listed under Benchmarks for Quality of Life.
The 1994 benchmark that applies directly to this plan is:
138b. Percentage of streets in re'ban areas that have adequate pedestrian and bicycle
facilities.
Benchmarks that apply indirectly to this plan are:
128. Percentage of new development where occupants are within one-hal, fa mile of a mix of
stores and service& transit, parks and open spaces.
129. Percentage of existing development where occupants are within one-ha~a mile ora mix
of stores and services, transit, parks and open spaces.
139. Percentage of Oregonians who commute to and from work durmgpeak hours by means

other than a single-occupanc~v vehicle.
140. Vehicle miles traveledper capita in Oregon metropolitan areas (per year).
1991: Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA)
back to top
The importance of integrating all modes of transportation is demonstrated by the following
excerpt:
It is the policy of the United States to develop a National b~termodal Transportation System
that is economically efficient and environmentally sound, provides the foundation for the
Nation to compete in the global economy, and will move people and goods in an energy
efficient manner.
ISTEA recognizes the transportation value of bicycling and walking, and offers opportunities
to increase consideration of bicyclists' and pedestrians' needs within the National Intermodal
Transportation System.
1992: The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
back to top
The ADA is a civil rights bill that affects both the private and public sector, which must
provide accessible routes for all individuals. Exterior accessible routes include parking access
aisles, curb ramps, crosswalks at vehicular ways, walkways, ramps and lifts. ODOT considers
its walkways as accessible routes and is dedicated to upgrading them to ADA standards. The
design chapters of this plan contain information to guide agencies in meeting these
requirements.
1992: Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP)
back to top
The OTP directs ODOT and the cities and counties to integrate all modes of transportation
and encourages use of the mode that is the most appropriate for each type of travel. The
people of Oregon who participated in the process emphasized that all modes of transportation
should be accommodated and that over-reliance on the use of the automobile should be
reduced. See Appendix D for the OTP Goals, Policies and Actions related to bicycling and
walking.

Bike Lane -- A portion of the roadway designated for preferential use by bicyclists. Bike lanes are
appropriate on urban medals and major collectors. They may be appropriate in rural areas where bicycle
travel and demand is substantial. Bike lanes must always be well marked to call attention to their
preferential use by bicyclists.

1971: ORS 366.514: Use of highway fund for footpaths and bicycle trails
back to top
Often referred to as the "Oregon Bike Bill," this law applies equally to bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The
law, the first of its type in the nation, requires the development of bikeways and walkways. The intent was
to ensure that future roads be built to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian travel, where warranted. It also
enables road funds to be used for constructing bikeways and walkways along existing roads.
The main provisions of this statute are:
1. It requires ODOT and the cities and counties of Oregon to expend reasonable amounts
of the highway fund to provide bikeways and walkways.
2. It requires the inclusion of bikeways and walkways whenever highways, roads and
streets are constructed, reconstructed or relocated, with three exemptions (where there is
no need or probable use, where safety would be jeopardized, or where the cost is
excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use).
ORS 366.514 drives most of ODOT's bicycle and pedestrian activities. Some of the provisions of this bill
have been misunderstood or misapplied, particularly the provision to expend a minimum of one percent of
the highway fund on bicycle and pedestrian facilities. See Appendix C for ODOT's interpretation of ORS
366.514.
(B) Bikeways shall be required along arterials and major collectors. Sidewalks shall be required along
arterials, collectors and most local streets in urban areas, except that sidewalks are not required along
controlled access roadways, such as freeways
(8) "Major" means, in general, those facilities or developments which, considering the size of the urban or
rural area and the range of size, capacity or service level of similar facilities or developments in the area,
are either larger than average, serve more than neighborhood needs or have significant land use or traffic
impacts on more than the immediate neighborhood:
