Unfortunately, some of the rules for the skate park are not enforceable because they are ambiguous. Staff has worked with the municipal judge to clarify the language needed to enforce these rules. All users within the fenced area will be considered active participants and must wear safety helmets. City staff will be able to limit the number of participants City of Central Point City Council Minutes February 11, 2010 Page 2 within the park. There have been times when too many skaters are in the park which could cause harm or injuries to the participants. Fire District 3 is working on a recommended number of participants.

This program was recommended by citizens of Central Point who are interested in participating. The City has several organizations interested in participating in the program already. Volunteers will assume responsibility for an assigned section of street and agree to remove litter a minimum of four times per year. The Public Works Department will work with the groups to select the specific sections. The City will provide signage recognizing the organization for their efforts. VVe will also provide vests and arrange for pick up of the trash bags when a job is completed. It is estimated this will. cost the City approximately $100 per group participating.

Resolution No. 1246, Establishing a City of Central Point unicipal Cotart Amnesty Program Finance Director Bev Adams stated that the City is interested in creating a Municipal Court Amnesty Program for citizens who have unpaid court fines which. have resulted. in their driving License being suspended. The program will benefit both the City and citizens by encouraging them to pay their fines and get their driving license reinstated. By doing this it will reduce the outstanding court cases that have been turned over for collection and collect the revenues that may otherwise never be collected. This is a proactive way for the city to pursue additional revenues and at the same time encourage citizens who want to get back on track. The city has 3,445 cases that have been turned over to collections and are in a suspended status because of non-.payment of fines. The total of these unpaid fines is $912,777. Despite the best efforts of the Court Clerk and our collection agency many of these fines .may never be collected. This will be part of an ongoing effort to help those who come in with large fines requesting some sort of assistance. The City of Medford Municipal Court has the same type of program.. This assistance will be in effect from February 15th through May 15th, 2010. Any citizen paying an outstanding assessment in full will .receive a 25% discount on all fines, and a 50% discount on the interest assessed to those fines on cases with suspension and/or collection action.

Community Development Director Tom Humphrey reported that the recommended resolution is in support of a feasibility study to examine the multi- modal benefits to the City's Central Business District of converting East Pine Street from the current four-lane, on street parking configuration to a three lane facility. The study will focus on East Pine Street from the I-5 interchange to the intersection of North Front Street/Hwy 99. The study will examine the traffic impacts that may result from a street conversion, developing design and phasing concepts for East Pine Street,. and providing an opportunity for public participation in the planning process. Approval of this resolution does not obligate the city to the redesign. or reconstruction of East Pine Street.. This is a tool to use to see what. the possibilities would be for this section of downtown to make it more business and pedestrian friendly. There was discussion regarding different options for the Downtown area. This resolution only allows for assistance in the feasibility of different options for the downtown area.

As discussed at the Study Session in January the city is in need of a three million gallon water reservoir, water lines and pumping station with an estimated cost of $5,600,000. The Safe Water Revolving Loan Fund currently has rates at less than 4% interest that would fund the entire city project. The loan was calculated within the latest. water rates study to be repaid over a 20 year or less time frame depending on growth within the system. If awarded the loan engineering and some smaller aspects of the project will start this spring. Major construction of the reservoir is not anticipated until fall of 2010. Staff will return with a detailed three year Capital Improvement plan for water detailing the projects to be constructed with the loan money. att Stephenson made a motion to approve Resolution o. 1249, Authorizing the City of Central Point, ®regon, to Apply for a Loan 'Through the ®regon Safe Drinking star Revolving Loan Fund.

Dated: Mayor Hank Williams ATTEST: City Recorder ~ _ ~ _- ~ ~~~ \~ ~ ,', ~` ~, ~ ' - S1"AF REP®RT ATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2010 Te HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MATT SAMITORE, MANAGER SUBJECT: Second reading of an ordinance amending the ordinance pertaining to Skate Park Rules. SUMMARY: Over the past year the City has seen a growing amount of issues associated with the Skate Park. In cooperation with the Police Department several changes to the physical configuration of the park have been completed. Additionally, the Police and Parks Departments have put on additional volunteer and staff hours to work with the participants of the park. With this increase in man power at the Skate Park additional tickets and enforcement of the rules has occurred. Unfortunately, some of the way the rules were originally written makes enforcing them somewhat ambiguous. After meeting the Municipal Judge .and City Attorney some amendments were agreed upon. The amendments to the rules specify the actions that are allowed within the boundaries of the facility. First, all. users who are within the fenced area are considered active participants and must. be wearing a safety helmet at all times. Additionally, no spectators are allowed within the premises. Lastly, an amendment was made to allow City staff to limit the number of participants within the park. The reasoning on the last item is because of occasional times where there are too many participants skating at once and the chance for additional harm or injuries to occur. No amendments have been made or suggested since the first reading. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Make a motion to approve a second reading the amendments to the Skate Park Rules and Regulations. 140 S.

STAFF REPORT ~ Tom Humphrey, ~~P C)r~~,~n Community Development Director STAFF P1~T February 25, 2010 I'TE Consideration of a resolution setting a public hearing and initiating proceedings to vacate a section of an alley right-of-way located in a subdivision known as the Oak Park Addition, adjacent to tax lots 2500 and 2400 as located on Jackson County Assessor's map 372W03DC. Applieanto City ®f Central P®int STAFF S®iJI~CE: Torn Humphrey, AICP, Community Development Director BACICGI2.®TJN The City Council considered the vacation of this unimproved alley right-of--way in May 2002 but elected not to give it up on the chance the area could be used for a commuter rail `platform'. Since that time, city staff and business owners from both the Rogue Creamery and Twin Creeks TOD have agreed that a more likely location for a platform. would straddle the rail line a few hundred feet north of this site where parking and access would be much better. Historic maps of this area show that the majority of this alley right-of--way (from Crater Iron to the Wine Tasting building) was vacated about the time that Highway 99 was constructed (Exhibit "A"). The area to be vacated now is approximately an 1 ~' by 370' alley that was originally part of the Oak Park Addition (Exhibit "A"). Since the alley right-of--way was a part of the Oak Park Addition, the vacated lands would revert to the abutting properties (tax lots 2500 and 2400 as located on Jackson County Assessor's map 372W03DC). I)ISCITSSI®N: ORS 271.130 grants the City Council the authority to initiate vacation proceedings and make such vacation without a petition or consent of property owners. Per ORS 271.130 there are three steps to a city initiated vacation as follows: 1. By resolution, set a date to hold a public hearing. The purpose of the public hearing is to take testimony from affected property owners on the merits of the vacation; 2. Hold a public hearing to take testimony (oral and/or written) on the proposed vacation; and 3. Based on the outcome of the public hearing direct staff to prepare a resolution to approve, or deny, the vacation. .. , At this time the City Council is considering whether or not to schedule a public hearing to consider the vacation as described in this Staff Report. No formal decision is being made on whether or not to vacate the right-of--way. IVot until after the proposed public hearing will the City Council determine whether or not to vacate the right-of--way. lf, during the public hearing, it is determined that: 1.Two-thirds of the property owners of the area affected object in writing; or 2. Consent of the abutting property owners is withheld if it is determined that the vacation will substantially affect the market value of their property, then the vacation cannot be approved.

Applacante City ®ff Central P®int S'TAF'F' SiJItCE: Tom Humphrey, AICP, Community Development Director BACICG iJNI): The City periodically receives requests from citizens to consider the abandonment or `vacation' of unimproved sections of public right-of--way. There have been two such requests by businesses to vacate portions of Oak Street between Haskell and Amy Streets (see Attachement "A"). The proposed vacated section of Oak Street is currently unimproved and does provide through public access connecting Amy Street to South Haskell Street. The Rogue Creamery and Rapp Racing have both stated that they would expand the footprint of their buildings if they had more property. They have identified the Oak Street right-of--way as an area into which they could grow. This section of Oak Street has an existing eighty (~0) foot right-of--way. It is proposed that sixty feet (30 on either side) of the right-of--way be vacated (see Attachment "B") and reassigned, per State law, to the adjoining three property owners. The remaining twenty (20) foot section in the center of the right-of--way would be retained as public right-of--way, to allow for ingress-egress to the abutting properties. The property owners in question have all agreed to the vacation (see Attachment "A") and once completed, the property would be put on the tax roll. I)ISCLTSSI®1~: ORS 271.130 grants the City Council the authority to initiate vacation proceedings and make such vacation without a petition or consent of property owners.
