TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:Jim Row, Assistant City Administrator
McKenzie Granum, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT:Utility Service Ordinance & Resolution setting ROW Utility License
and Usage Fee Rates
RECOMMENDATION:
As part of the City's implementation of a new licensing program to regulate utility
services providers that access, use, and occupythe City's rights-of-way ("ROW"):
1.Enact the Utility Services Ordinance; and
2.Adopt a Resolution setting ROW utility license and usage fee rates in the
City.
BACKGROUND:
Earlier this year, staff initiated a review of the City’s process for regulating utility
services providers’ use of the City’s ROW.At the July 13th City Council Meeting,
Consultant Reba Crocker of ROW Consultants LLC, introduced what is to be a
new utility licensing program in the City. At that a meeting a general introduction
to the topic was presented and an initial draft ordinance and associated fee
resolution was presented for the Council's review. Following that meeting, the
proposed draft was sent to numerous providers of telecommunications, gas, and
electric services in Oregon.
The City received written feedback regarding its ordinance proposal from four
companies (AT&T, Verizon, Fatbeam, and PGE). The Council then reviewed this
feedback and other policy considerations regarding the ordinance and fee
resolution at a work session during its October council meeting.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
November 9, 2020
Page 2
By adopting the Utility Service Ordinance and correlating fee schedule, the City
will join roughly one dozen other municipalities in Oregon that have implemented
a uniform ROW licensing system.
Given the complexity of developing and implementing the proposed ROW
management program, staff has worked closely with ROW Consultants LLC, and
its Principal Reba Crocker, to develop the program, which if adopted will have
an implementation date of January 1, 2021.
After the City adopts the new Utility Services Ordinance, utility service providers
will be actively identified and subjected to the new licensing program. The six (6)
providers that are currently operating under franchise agreements will not be
subject to the new ROW management/licensing program until their existing
agreements expire.
As provided previously, the pertinent provisions of the enclosed Utility Services
Ordinance include:
Utilities operated by the City and other municipalities are exempted from
the requirements of this ordinance (currently managed under a different
ordinance);
Providers are required to maintain a City of Woodburn Business Registration;
Providers with existing franchises agreements are exempted until their
agreements expire;
Preserves the City’s right to enter into franchise agreements with individual
providers in situations where the public interest warrants;
Wire line cable television providers will continue to operate under franchise
agreements due to protections under FCC law;
Each license with utility providers will be for a term of five (5) years;
Licenses are transferrable upon the written consent of the City, provided
the transfers are consistent with state and federal law;
Providers seeking license renewals shall submit license applications at least
thirty (30) days, but not more than ninety (90) days prior to expiration;
Includes provisions under which the City may terminate licenses;
Includes requirements that providers must comply with related to the
location, construction, maintenance and removal of facilities in the ROW;
and
Provides for ROW license and usage fees to be established by resolution.
Current vs. Proposed usage fees are shown in the below chart with

81
Title VI Public Participation Plan

decision-makingprocesses. This includes outreach to minority groups in Woodburn and the surrounding
area.
Summary of Ongoing Public Participation Effortsand Outreach
In accordance with Oregon public meetings law, all public meetings,includingbudget committee and
City Council meetings where resource allocation and transportation planningdiscussions and actions are
taken,are open to the general public. Accommodations are available for those with limited English
proficiency if requested in advance of the meeting.
Passenger Surveys
WTS conducts onboard rider and general awareness surveys occasionally, in both English and Spanish.
Bilingual Outreach
The City maintains a list of fluent Spanish-speaking employees, and can contract for Spanish interpreters,
if necessary. Additionally, the City’s Outreach Coordinator has responsibility for coordinating the City’s
communication and outreach activities with the Spanish speaking population.
Phone Access
The City has a contract with the translation service “Language Line” for phone calls taken from LEP
individuals.
Schedules translated in Spanish
The current service schedule includes a Spanish section. New service schedules will be provided in
English and Spanish and made available via paper brochures and on the WTS website.
Woodburn Transit SystemLimited English Proficiency Outreach Plan
WTSis required to take responsible steps to ensure meaningful access to the benefits, services,
information and other important portions of our programs and activities of individuals who are Limited
English Proficient (LEP). WTSconsulted the USDOT’s LEP Guidance and performed a four factor
analysis of our contact with the public to determine the appropriate mix of LEP services to offer.
Four Factor Analysis:
Factor1: The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area.
Step1:Prior experience with LEP individuals.Over the past year, our dispatchers have taken
approximately 2 calls per week from LEP persons which have required the use of an interpreter.
6
82
Step2:Data was gathered from the following sources to identify information on persons who speak
languages other than English at home and those who speak English less than well or not at all and would
be classified as Limited English Proficient or “LEP”:
a. U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey-American Factfinderdata
A review of the 2018American Community Survey data (http://factfinder.census.gov) on the numbers of
limited English proficient or LEP persons revealed that in Woodburn, Oregon the number of people over
age 5 who speak a language other than English at home was54.4% of the total population 5 and over in
Woodburn. The same data shows that 25.1% of the Woodburn populationover age 5speakEnglish less
than “very well.” The data indicates the most common language other than English spoken at home for
population over 5 isSpanish, with 49%. (Source: American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, S1601,
Woodburn, Oregon).
Factor2: The frequency with which LEP individuals come into contact with the service.
Woodburn Transit serves LEP persons daily through transit and paratransit services. Over the past year,
our dispatchers took approximately 2 calls per week from LEP persons which have required the use of an
interpreter.
Factor3:The importance of the service to LEP persons.
Woodburn Transit provides important transit services to the public through its fixed route and
complementary paratransit programs. Woodburn Transit is one of a fewpublic transportation providers
that serve the City of Woodburn and provides a link between residential areas, commercial centers,
healthcare facilities, educational campuses, and social service offices. Language barriers would most
affect users of the complementary paratransit system as reservations for the system are taken via
telephone. The complementary paratransit portion of Woodburn Transit provides approximately 52% of
the total rides provided through the Woodburn Transit System.
Factor4:The resources available to the recipient of the federal funds to assure meaningful access to the
service by LEP persons
WTS currently provides some information in Spanish through bus schedules, the transit website, and
information on the buses. The City of Woodburn maintains a list of employees who are fluent in Spanish
and other languages, and professional translation services are available if required. WTS also contracts
with “language line” to assist LEP individuals with phone inquiries.
Processes for providing language assistance services by language
Based on the four factor analysis, WTS recognizes the need to continue providing language services. A
review of WTS relevant programs, activities and services that are being offered by the City as of October
2020include:
o If a bilingual employee is unavailable, the Cityhas a contract with the translation service
“Language Line” for phone calls taken from LEP individuals
o Spanish speaking translators who work for the City are available upon request during normal
business hours
o Route and schedule information are available in Spanish on the Woodburn Transit website
o Community surveys are available in Spanishlanguage
Based on the demand for alternate language services, and considering the limited budget of the Woodburn
Transit programs, other activities and services that will be developed in the next three years include:
7
83
o Transit surveys conducted by Woodburn Transit will be available in Spanish
o Future route maps will be available in both English and Spanish
o Bilingual employees will continue to be available to provide written and verbal translation
services
Woodburn Transit’s outreachand marketing initiatives have yielded a list of community organizations
that serve populations with limited English proficiency. The following list of community organizations
will be contacted to assist in gathering information and see what services are most frequently sought by
the LEP population:
Woodburn Public School District
Hispanic Advisory Council
Woodburn Area Chamber of Commerce
Providing notice to LEP’s of language assistance
Notice will be placedon the transit buses, transit website, and on the bus schedules, and brochures
announcing the availability of Language assistance.
Monitoring, evaluating and updating LEP
Woodburn Transit staff will contact the community organizations that serve LEP persons, as well LEP
persons themselves, and also perform a four factor analysis every three years to identify what, if any,
additional information or activities might better improve transit services to assure non-discriminatory
service to LEP persons. WTS will then evaluate the projected financialand personnel neededto provide
the requested services and assess which of these can be provided cost-effectively.
Training Employees
Woodburn Transit will train all employees, staff and volunteers to proficiency regarding the need and
availability of language assistance to LEP individuals who use the service. Employees will be
encouraged to use the services provided when contact with LEP individuals prevents or hinders
communication. This training will be provided at least annually.
Primary recipients and monitoring sub recipients
Currently the City of Woodburnis not a primary recipient of FTA funds and does not have any sub-
recipients.
Title VI equity analysis
There are no current planned facilities or construction projects that require a Title VI equity analysis.

(4)Planter strip: Install a planter strip six (6) ft wide and landscape with street trees at 1 per 30
ft of frontage, equaling forty-one (41) trees along the Phase 2 frontage (instead of 1 per 50
typical). The total number shall be divided evenly between Betula pendula \[silver or European
white birch\] or another Betula \[birch\] species and an evergreen species among any of
Magnolia grandiflora
Arbutus menziesii \[Pacific madrone\], and Tsuga heterophylla \[Western hemlock\]. Ninety-five
percent (95%) of the remainder of the strip shall be medium size category shrubbery to the
minimum size at planting per Table 3.06B and at maximum size that maintains conformance
with VCA, and at least six (6) distinct openings in the shrubbery that total the remaining area
of five percent (5%) shall be lawn grass.
(5)Sidewalk: Construct a sidewalk as a bicycle/pedestrian path at minimum width of eight (8) ft
(whether or not there is a northbound bicycle lane) that the City shall allow to overlap the
streetside PUE by at least a half (½) ft and as much as four and a half (4½) ft from edge of
ROW. If and where sidewalk would need to deflect or meander, such as at driveways A2 and
A3 or at the southeast corner of Allison & Hooper, it may farther overlap a streetside PUE.
(6)Median: \[previously struck by the Planning Commission\]
(7)Turn areas: At the north, the median shall \[previously struck by the Commission\]
(8)NW side landscaping: The following applies between the fencing south end and the south
end of extended Allison. The applicant shall plant at least two hundred and fifty-two (252)
woody shrubs of large size category as WDO Table 3.06B defines, of one or more evergreen
species capable of growing to a mature minimum height of ten (10) ft (preferably Taxus

TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:Jim Row, Assistant City Administrator
McKenzie Granum, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT:Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Portland General
Electric (PGE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Administrator to sign the enclosed MOU with PGE, which serves
to memorialize the City’s commitment to resolve PGE’s concerns with the
proposed Utility Services Ordinance prior to the June 30, 2023 expiration of PGE’s
franchise agreement with the City.
BACKGROUND:
Earlier this year, staff initiated a review of the City’s process for regulating utility
services providers’ use of the City’s ROW. At that time, staff retained ROW
Consultants LLC to develop a Right of Way (ROW) Management Program,
including a Utility Services Ordinance and associated fee structure.
Prior to it being presented to the City Council at their regular meeting in
September, thedraft ordinance was distributed toutility providers for their review.
The City received written feedback from four providers, including PGE.
Subsequent discussions with PGE highlighted the fact that electric utility providers
are uniquely different from other providersand that some of the sections in the
ordinance should be modified as it pertains to those types of services.
:
DISCUSSION
During discussions with PGE, City staff agreed that PGE’s comments and
requested modification were valid and should be addressed, either through
changes to the Utility Services Ordinance, the execution of a “short form”
franchise, or the renewal of a traditional franchise agreement that would be
specific to the electric utility services provided by PGE.

Agenda Item
November 9, 2020
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council through City Administrator
From:Chris Kerr,Community Development Director
Subject:Call-Up Briefing: Planning Commission Approval of a Modification to
Conditions of Approval forMid Valley Community Church at 591 Gatch
Street (MOC 2020-01)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends noactionand briefs the Council on this item pursuant to
Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO)Section 4.02.02.The Council may call
up this item for review if desired and, by majority vote, initiate a review of this
decision.
BACKGROUND:
In September 2017, the Planning Commission approved a land use package for
a new gymnasium building for Mid Valley Community Church. Several months
later, in November 2017, a code enforcement case was opened for an illegal
gravel driveway within the Riparian Corridor and Wetland Overlay District
(RCWOD)on the church’s property.In response to the code enforcement case,
the church applied for a Variance to the prohibited uses within the RCWOD.
On January 24, 2019, the Planning Commission approved the Variance
applicationwith conditions, allowingforthe temporary use of thegravel
driveway. Rather than removing the driveway immediately, the applicant was
afforded additional time to allow it to be usedfor construction of the gym
building. A condition of approval for this Variance was to remove the driveway
curb cut along Young Street and restore the street improvements, due by either
October 31, 2020 or upon building permit final inspection, whichever came first.
An image on the following page illustrates the driveway’s location on the
property.

Site plan showing the gym building in yellow and the illegal gravel driveway in red.
In September of this year, the church indicated that it did not anticipate being
able to meet this deadline and submitted a Modification of Conditions of
Approval application on September 15, 2020. Therequest was to modify the
due date of thecondition mentioned on the previous pageto instead be simply
by building permit final inspection.
Staff was amenable to granting the applicant more time, but not an indefinite
amount of time. Because the gravel driveway in question is prohibited within the
RCWOD and is part of a code enforcement case, staff wanteda“date certain”
its removal. Staff therefore recommendedthe conditiondue datebe modified
to be July 1, 2021or building permit final inspection, whichever comes first.
On October22, 2020, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and
unanimously approved the modification as recommended by staff. No parties
testified in opposition.
