0450 PRESENTATION: WATER TREATMENT PROJECT UPDATE.
Public Works Manager Rohman reviewed the project objectives which included (1) water
quality improvement, (2) ability to meet current and future federal and state regulations,
(3) provide increased storage capacity for fire fighting and emergency use, and (4)
increase water supply capabilities. Currently, the City has 800,000 gallons of water in
two elevated storage tanks and the 3 new storage reservoirs will hold a combined total of
4.7 million gallons of water which should take the City to its estimated population needs
of the year 2020. The treatment process will remove iron and manganese from the water,
reduce the amount of arsenic level to well-under the federal limits, and reduce the radon
level to below the proposed federal standard. He provided several illustrations to give
the Council a better understanding as to how the process works and interior/exterior
photos of the sites to explain in more detail the operational aspects. He stated that the
treatment process is an automated operation and computers will be used for this purpose.
The Country Club Road plant is being operated during the day in order for staff to
become familiar with the process and check out the backwash. Small amounts of treated
water is being pumped into the distribution system from this plant. The Parr Road and
National Way plants are going through final acceptance and it is anticipated that
operational testing will begin in May 2005. It is anticipated that the system will be fully
operational sometime during the summer with an open house to be planned for late
summer or early fall. In regards to the use of water softeners, he stated that staff feels
that water softeners should not be needed once the plants are operational. Staff is also
working on a flushing program to try and get as much of the untreated water out of the
distribution system as soon as possible so that there is more treated water in the lines.

1750 WOODBURN SCHOOL DISTRICT REPORT.
Jeanine Hohn, School District Communications Specialist, provided the Council with
packets of information that were presented at the last Key Communicator's meetings.
Included in the packets are (1) updates that were made and approved by Strategic Plan
Board Members, (2) last year's state assessment test results which has been desegregated
by the No Child Left Behind categories sub-groups for comparison purposes against
benchmark levels, (3) an article from the National Staff Development Council which
featured Heritage Elementary as an exemplary school in their practices for curriculum
mapping and their work to close the language gap, and (4) an informational paper on the
International Baccalaureate Program at the High School.
1969 Amberly Miller, owner of property located on the corner of Highway 99E and Cleveland
Street, stated that the building on her property was built in 1962 and has been commercial
general property since that time. She has been operating a business at that location and
would like to use her drive-thru but was told that the side of the building the drive-thru is
on was currently in a single family residential zone and a drive-thru is not allowed in that
zone.
Community Development Director stated that the map has shown a diagonal line through
her property since about 1980 and this is one of the issues he has addressed in the
Periodic Review amendments. He stated that the Comprehensive Plan shows the whole
corner area as commercial but for whatever reason the zoning line cuts arbitrarily across
property line.
Mayor Figley suggested that she make an appointment with Director Mulder to discuss
this issue.

A) approve Council meeting minutes of March 28,2005;
B) receive the Building Activity report for March 2005;
C) receive the Planning Tracking Sheet dated April 4, 2005; and
D) receive the report on the removal of the tree on Boones Ferry Road.
Councilor McCallum requested that the City Administrator review the tree removal
report since this is a very large old tree which no longer has a crown that is present due to
pruning over the years by PGE in order to maintain clearance from overhead power lines.
Administrator Brown stated that the black walnut tree is located on Boones Ferry Road
between Country Club Road and Constitution Avenue. The majority of the tree sits on
property that is either in private ownership or viewed as a perpetual easement that should
be held by the Heritage Park Homeowners Association with a very small portion ofthe
tree extending into City right-of-way. The property owner has been concerned for some
time since the tree tends to drop limbs some of which land in the back yard and others
have hit the house. The overhead power lines have been removed but the tree has a
pronounced V-shape without any crown. The City was contacted by the Homeowners
Association and, based on an arborist's report, staff is recommending that the tree be
removed. The report indicates that there are a number of cracks in the main trunk of the
tree that make severe pruning or cabling of this tree unlikely to resolve the situation and
it will continue to be dangerous. Another larger diameter tree would be planted at that
location. Pursuant to City ordinance, staff proposes the expenditure of$500 for tree
removal which is the maximum allowed by ordinance with the balance to be paid by the
Homeowners Association once the Homeowners Association secured an easement for
tree maintenance.
BJELLAND/MCCALLUM... adopt the consent agenda as presented. The motion
passed unanimously.
2669 PUBLIC HEARING: CLARIFICATION AND REEVALUATION OF
ALLOCATION OF COSTS FOR ARNEY ROAD REIMBURSEMENT DISTRICT
IMPROVEMENT.
Mayor Figley stated that, because of the nature of the hearing, this was an extremely
abbreviated hearing for the limited purpose of making some factual determinations that
the City was asked to make on behalf of the Court of Appeals.
The Mayor opened the hearing at 7:20 p.m..
Paul Elsner, attorney representing the City on this issue, stated that a report from Public
Works Director Tiwari was provided in the agenda materials for Council review. The
Reimbursement District had gone through the trial court to the Court of Appeals who
issued an opinion in November 2003 to remand the decision to make one minor
clarification in terms of determining whether the location of frontage attributable to Mr.
Baker was appropriate. In the Public Works Director's report, there is an extensive quote
out of the Court of Appeals opinion where the court makes a factual miscalculation
relating to Arney Road and "Old Arney Road" . The Court had assumed that there were
Page 4 - Council Meeting Minutes, April 11, 2005
I
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
APRIL 11, 2005
TAPE
READING
two roads but, in fact, there is only Arney Road which makes a bend. That factual
confusion can be explained in part by an ambiguity contained in the written description
that accompanied a photograph in the Public Works Director's initial report showing a
view east along Arney Road which described an intersection "...to connect the old Arney
Road segment with the new roadway..". The Court of Appeals misread that phrasing
such that it read it to mean Old Arney Road and Arney Road were separate
thoroughfares. In November 2004, the Public Works Director was directed by the
Council to make a clarification clear in a written form and he has looked again at his
allocation scheme that he originally developed and determined that the allocation scheme
was appropriate.
Councilor Cox questioned if the letter from Mr. Alfred from Perkins Cole that was
distributed to the Council just prior to the meeting will be made a part of the record.
Mayor Figley stated that the letter is part of the record and Mr. Alfred is also present to
provide testimony at this hearing.
Roger Alfred, Attorney representing Craig Realty Group - Woodburn, LLC, stated that he
concurs with the Public Works Director's report and feels that the issue before the
Council is a very minor narrow issue that needs to be clarified with respect to whether or
not the entire area around the comer of the frontage of Mr. Baker's property was included
as part ofthe reimbursement district. Attached to the Director's report as Attachment B
is a revised version of the map that was before the Court of Appeals. The key element of
the confusion at the Court of Appeals level can be identified by comparing that
Attachment B to what he has attached to his letter as Attachment A. This is the map that
was part of the Council material back in 1999 and he noted that the map attached to
Director Tiwari's current report correctly identifies that the reimbursable portion of the
street improvement did in fact wrap around the comer of Arney Road following the
frontage of Mr. Baker's property and was correctly included as part of the reimbursable
improvements that are part of the reimbursement district. As stated in his letter, he felt
that it was clear from the Council's prior decision in 1999 that the City did include that
whole area around the comer in 1999. In his Attachment C, it shows that Mr. Baker's
street frontage was 458 feet which is the entire area that wraps around the corner of the
property. The transcript of the 1999 meeting also confirms that the frontage included
area that wrapped around the comer. He requested that the Council adopt the clarified
report including the map which identifies that small leg of frontage going down Arney
Road.
3258 Don Kelley, attorney representing Dale Baker, stated that he disagrees with Mr. Elsner
and Mr. Alfred's comments and proposed that the section in the Court of Appeals
decision read by Mr. Elsner makes clear that there was no question at the Court of
Appeals as to whether there was one Arney Road or two Arney Roads, but the question
was whether Mr. Baker's assessment was consistent with the reimbursable portion ofthe
roadway identified. He stated that the Council did identify a portion of the roadway
when the Resolution was adopted in 1999. Contrary to Mr. Alfred, Mr. Craig testified at
Page 5 - Council Meeting Minutes, April 11, 2005

COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
APRIL 11,2005
the hearing as to what he understood the reimbursable portion of the district to be
frontage to Woodland Avenue. Mr. Kelley stated that there is only place in the City's
Resolution that would describe the reimbursable portion of the improvements and those
start at the comer of the aD aT property and go along Arney Road to Woodland and
turns south. He argued that the Council adopted the frontage area that went to Woodland
Avenue and did not turn south on Arney Road. Therefore, the frontage along Arney
Road was never considered as part of the reimbursable portion of the improvements. It
was possible that the Council intended to so something that they were not asked to do by
Mr. Craig and it is possible that the Council intended to adopt another map then the one
adopted. However, this was the map that was adopted and the Court of Appeals was
saying that it this was inconsistent. With this map, the City charged Mr. Baker for the
frontage on "Old Arney Road" and, ifthis is the only reimbursable portion of the street
improvements as it is called in the resolution, then it would be in error to charge for the
frontage that goes around the comer. The Court of Appeals has asked the Council to
reconcile this by justifying how, ifno change is made to the calculation, a charge can be
made for the frontage around the comer. He read an excerpt from the legal brief
submitted by Craig Realty and the City to the Court of Appeals that states that the map
which was attached to the Resolution identifies the portions of the road to be included in
the reimbursement district. He stated that Craig Realty is now requesting that the City
correct a mistake that Craig Realty made. He requested that the Council accept what Mr.
Craig asked the City to do which is to not wrap the frontage around Arney Road and to
recalculate the fees owed by Mr. Baker by subtracting the frontage foot portion that
would come down to "Old Arney Road". He felt that it would be fair in that Mr. Baker
cannot develop the same property twice since it goes around the comer. He also stated
that the full land area is being reimbursed under Director Tiwari's schedule and he asked
that the Council take what would amount to the long side ofMr. Baker's property and
include it in the fee calculation but not the portion that would be duplicate around the
comer. He requested that the Council not accept Director Tiwari's report.
Councilor Cox questioned if the map shown on the overhead screen was a part of the
Resolution adopting the district along with the schedule of cost attachment.
Attorney Kelley stated that this map was in Director Tiwari's report to the Council which
was adopted and incorporated into the Resolution and it is the only description of what
the reimbursable portion would be. He stated that he has submitted a letter to the Council
for the record which includes a copy of the map, copy of the portion of the Court of
Appeals brief which reproduces this map, and a copy of Mr. Craig's testimony at the
September 13, 1999 Council meeting.
Councilor Cox requested clarification from Mr. Kelley that Attachment C of Mr.
Alfred's letter shows the street frontage of Mr. Baker's property was part of the Public
Works Director's report which was also incorporated into the Resolution.
Mr. Kelley confirmed Councilor Cox's statement, however, he stated that the map is the
only place the reimbursable portion of the improvements is identified. He understood
Page 6 - Council Meeting Minutes, April 11, 2005

COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
APRIL 11, 2005

READING
what Councilor Cox was indicating is that the full amount shown on Attachment C could
be reimbursed but stated that Attachment C is not an identification of which frontage or
how it is arrived at but it clearly goes outside of the only map.
Mayor Figley declared the public hearing closed at approximately 7:40 p.m..
Councilor Bjelland stated that the Council has two documents with conflicting
information but that he very clearly remembers the discussion that took place regarding
this reimbursement district since he was the person who asked the question about what is
involved on Baker's property and whether it wrapped around the comer. In the public
hearing record of September 13, 1999 before the Council, it clearly indicates that Mr.
Tiwari said that it did wrap around the comer. In his opinion, it was the Council's
intention at that point in time to include that portion of the Arney Road frontage into the
reimbursement district. There was discussion on whether it was fair to have it on a
comer lot but there are two modes of determining the amount of reimbursement - one of
which is acreage and the other is road frontage. This road improvement was a part of the
improvement to Arney Road therefore it is his strong recollection that the Council made
the decision to include that frontage as part of the reimbursement district. It may not
have been picked up in the map but it was certainly included in the calculations of the
reimbursement formula and allocation of that reimbursement to the property owners.
Even though the Courts have indicated that there is some discrepancies between the
records, the Council's intention at that point of time was to include the entire frontage of
the Baker property as part of the reimbursement district.
Councilor Cox stated that he was not on the Council at the time this action was being
taken and was glad to hear comments from those that were present. If there is an
ambiguity in the map, then he would look at the attached schedule which states 458 feet
of linear frontage and no one has challenged the fact that the frontage would wrap around
the comer in order to get that linear footage. Based on comments made by Councilor
Bjelland and the Attachment C schedule, he still feels that it was the Council's intent to
assess the frontage around the comer as part of Mr. Baker's benefit.
Mayor Figley stated that she was also at that meeting and her recollection is that of
describing the area then subtracting the property that could not appropriately be assessed
because it was already developed such as the Texaco station, small motel access frontage,
and Miles Chevrolet. The net results is that the front footage that went around the comer
would be assessed.
Councilor Sifuentez also stated that she recalled the front footage to wrap around the
comer.
BJELLAND/MCCALLUM... accept and approve the report. The motion passed
unanimously.

FEE IMPOSED BY ORD. 2250. AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Councilor Sifuentez introduced Council Bill 2551. Recorder Tennant read the bill by
title only since there were no objections from the Council.
Councilor Bjelland requested clarification on the collection of System Development
Charges in the past for Parks.
Administrator Brown stated that the misapplication of that mechanism has taken place
over several years and the City has overcharged for some of these projects. Staff will be
going back though the projects to calculate the overcharge and, if applicable, provide
refunds to the various parties. Staff will let the Council know what the repayments look
like once they are calculated.
Councilor Bjelland questioned if the rate in the proposed Resolution is the recalculated
current rate.
Director Westrick stated that it is the recalculated current rate and it was arrived at by
going back to the beginning and then moved forward to get to this new current rate. He
stated that the old current rate was about $1,500 and the difference varies each year with
it being no more than $30 per year.
Councilor Bjelland stated that he had raised the issue about the concept of average
market value. He questioned if (1) this would be a concept that would apply in other
places and (2) how staff arrived at the change in average market value.
Director Westrick stated that the actual increase factors are directly from the County
Assessor's office. It is complicated in that the Assessor trends five different types of
property and each amount of property has to be weighted. Annually, the Assessor
changes methods that they use to trend property and staff has taken all of that into
account to get to the current rate.
On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously. Mayor Figley declared
Council Bill 2551 duly passed.

Councilor McCallum questioned the difference between a level I and level II
Public Works Manager Rohman stated that a Water Operator II has a higher certification
level in that it requires a Water Distribution certification as well as a Water Operator
certification.
5386 SPONSORSHIP OF A CDBG GRANT APPLICATION FOR THE MARION
COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY.
A request has been made by the Marion County Housing Authority and Marion County
Board of Commissioners to consider sponsoring an application for a Community

obtaining additional grant funds towards Hazelwood Estates development which will be a
32-unit affordable senior housing project on Carol Street in Woodburn.

5458 NEW BUSINESS: PROPOSED LETTER TO ST ATE REPRESENT A TIVE
BETTY KOMP IN SUPPORT OF HB 3038.
Mayor Figley stated that the City has been asked by the League of Cities and others to
formally express the City's support on this legislative bill, however, she would only sign
the letter if the Council was also supportive ofHB 3038.
It was the consensus of the Council for the Mayor to sign the letter in support of the bill.
5525 CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT.
A) Administrator Brown stated that he would be accompanying Terry Cole and another
member of the ODOT Transportation Planning Group on April 12th to visit the City of
Eugene and Medford to make some contact with Transportation Commissioners to try
and gain some support from the Commissioners for the 1-5 Interchange project. The
message they would like to share with the Commissioners is that Woodburn has come a
long way in trying to meet the State's requirements for both matches and preservation of
interchange capacity and, as a partner in this project, the City's project deserves better
consideration than what the City has received in the past. He stated that they will be
meeting with all 5 Commissioners over the next few weeks to try and move the City's
project forward. One of the topics to be discussed will be the proposed Interchange
Management Area (IMA), however, the Council has not had an opportunity to make a
final decision on the IMA. In meeting with the Commissioners, they will discuss the
IMA methodology or something similar to try to preserve the interchange capacity once

the expansion has been made.
B) Administrator Brown stated that, in the past, he has asked the Mayor and Council for
personal contributions to help fund a team for the Relay for Life event. Staff would like
to sponsor a team at either a Platinum level ($1,000) or Gold level ($750) so he will be
asking the Mayor. Council, and department heads privately if they are willing to
contribute to this cause. He reiterated that this sponsorship will not involve any tax payer
dollars.
C) Lastly, he stated that he had some tickets available for the "Taste of Woodburn" event
which is a benefit for the AWARE Food Bank. This event will take place on Friday,
April 22nd , 12:00 noon to 1 :00 pm, at the Tukwila Center for Health and Medicine.
5940 MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS.
Councilor Nichols stated that the "Taste of Woodburn" event includes good food and all
of the proceeds go to the A WARE Food Bank which is in need of financial help to
provide food to those in need. He also stated that there are traffic counters out on
Highway 214/219 in the vicinity of the 1-5 interchange.
On behalf of the Relay for Life organizers, Councilor McCallum expressed his
appreciation to the Mayor, Council, and staff for their past and hopefully continued
support. He also congratulated the Mayor and former Mayors for their groundbreaking
efforts on the Plaza dedication and the City will soon have a great addition to the
downtown area.
Councilor Bjelland approved of Administrator Brown's efforts to meet with the OTC
Commissioners since this is a very important task that will go a long way in overcoming
some of the past difficulties the City has had with the OTC with regard to the Woodburn
Interchange. He felt that this is an opportunity to enlighten the new OTC members as to
the need for the interchange improvement and that Woodburn is making an effort to
advance the project. MW ACT has been hearing that the OTC is looking for projects in
which the local communities are leveraging in whatever manner possible to move their
projects up for funding. Some potential earmarked funds from the federal government
would be another incentive for OTC to fund this project. At the last MW ACT meeting,
the group approved the potential distribution of funds if Seaside votes down the by-pass
and they give up the $33 million of funds that are located for that project. It was noted
that Woodburn could receive about $500,000 from that funding source.
Councilor Sifuentez thanked all volunteers within the City who give so many hours of
their time to make Woodburn a better place to live.
Councilor Cox stated that the Council has been aware of the IMA concept for over a year
and, even though a final decision has not been made, he strongly feels that something
similar to the IMA will be adopted as part of the Periodic Review process.
Mayor Figley stated that the concrete in the downtown plaza is now gone and she feels
that the City will have a plaza that they can be proud of within the next 3 months. She
will be donating a palm tree and she encouraged citizens to also consider making a
