IV. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS 1. Fiscal Year 2018-19 Audit Report Finance Director Steven Weber introduced Audit Partner Gatlin Hawkins from Isler CPA. Mr. Hawkins explained a few corrections regarding Council Positions and term dates that will be updated before finalizing the document. He explained the required communications, management responsibility, auditor responsibilities. There were no significant findings for this year. It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Weber and his staff. It is nice that Central Point has their records digital and the auditors have access to documents without asking staff members to retrieve a document so they can review it. They did reissue a statement regarding city vehicles that were not reflected as long term borrowing. The audit recommends clarifying these vehicles for capital assets reasons. There were no other findings to report. He presented the financial trends between 2015 and 2019. V. PUBLIC COMMENTS - None VI.

ORDINANCES, AND RESOLUTIONS A. Ordinance No. ________, Amending CPMC Chapter 15.04, Building Code to Comply with Updates and References to New State Code Building Official Derek Zwagerman stated that there were no recommended changes at the first reading of an Ordinance to update sections of the Municipal Code in regards to references to the Oregon Structural Specialty Code and the Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code. Kelley Johnson moved to approve Ordinance 2063, Amending CPMC Chapter 15.04, Building Code to Comply with Updates and References to State Code. RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Kelley Johnson, Ward II SECONDER: Rob Hernandez, At Large AYES: Williams, Olsen, Johnson, Thueson, Browning, Hernandez, Parsons B. Ordinance No. ________, Zoning Text Amendments in various sections of the Zoning Ordinance to eliminate barriers to ADUs, comply with ORS 197.312, and provide more affordable housing options in the City. Council Member Taneea Browning declared a conflict of interest and recused herself from the discussion and decision. She stepped down from the dais and took a seat in the audience. Principal Planner Stephanie Holtey explained that at the first reading of the proposed Ordinance the Council voted to amend the recommended 5-ft rear yard setback to 10-ft. She stated that there may have been some confusion at the first reading of this ordinance regarding setbacks for ADU and workshops; there are two different types of structures. The recommended five foot set back was in line with the current setback for workshops. If a property has an existing workshop they would be allowed to change that into an ADU by repurposing the structure. The proposed amendment did not address the setback for the workshop type structure. There was discussion regarding various set back requirements for ADU’s and workshops. Mr. Zwagerman explained building code rules for workshops verses dwelling units. The Citizens Advisory Commission and the Planning Commission held several meetings to recommend the 5-ft rear setback. 6.A Packet Pg. 4 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jan 9, 2020 7:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA) City of Central Point City Council Minutes January 9, 2020 Page 3 Michael Parsons moved to reconsider the ordinance and the 10-ft rear set back amendment.

Motion to: To keep the amended rear yard setback of 10-ft Mayor Williams asked if anyone from the audience wanted to address the Council on this Ordinance. No one came forward. There was discussion regarding the set-back for current sheds and other accessory structures. There is concern that a lot of work was done to get to the document presented at the first reading. The Planning Commission and Citizens Advisory Committee held public meetings and forwarded a recommendation for the 5-ft rear yard setback after receiving public input. There was discussion about encouraging ADU’s in our existing neighborhoods. The current rear setback has been 10-ft for years. We are required by the State to make adjustments and allow for affordable housing options. To alleviate confusion in the code we should have setbacks for the ADU’s and other accessory dwellings the same. Neil Olsen moved to keep the amended rear yard setback of 10-ft. RESULT: DEFEATED [3 TO 3] MOVER: Neil Olsen, Ward I SECONDER: Kelley Johnson, Ward II AYES: Hank Williams, Neil Olsen, Kelley Johnson NAYS: Melody Thueson, Rob Hernandez, Michael Parsons ABSTAIN: Taneea Browning D. Motion to: Ordinance 2064, Zoning Text Amendments in various sections of the Zoning Code to eliminate barriers to ADUs, comply with ORS 197.312, and provide more affordable housing options in the City Mrs. Holtey reminded the council that this is in response to a ruling coming from the State requiring cities to provide for affordable housing. We will continue to look at options for affordable housing opportunities. There are approximately five requests for ADU's if these changes are approved. CC&Rs may require a different set back than the City requires but it cannot be less than what the city requires. City Attorney Sydnee Dryer will research to see how this would affect CC&Rs current or future rules. Rob Hernandez moved to approve Ordinance 2064, Zoning Text Amendments in various sections of the Zoning Code to eliminate barriers to ADUs, comply with ORS 197.312, and provide more affordable housing options in the City as originally presented. 6.A Packet Pg. 5 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jan 9, 2020 7:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA) City of Central Point City Council Minutes January 9, 2020 Page 4 RESULT: APPROVED [5 TO 1] MOVER: Rob Hernandez, At Large SECONDER: Michael Parsons, At Large AYES: Williams, Olsen, Thueson, Hernandez, Parsons NAYS: Kelley Johnson ABSTAIN: Taneea Browning E. Resolution No. ________, A Resolution Accepting the Dedication of Right-of- Way from School District 6 for public improvements on North Front Street adjacent to the Maker's Space Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore explained that the School District has requested the city extend the North Front Streetscape Improvements adjacent to the MakerSpace property providing a pedestrian connection and new flashing beacon at the entrance to Crater High School and North Front Street. It was determined that construction could not occur within the existing right-of-way on North Front Street. The proposed improvements include ten-foot sidewalks with street trees that match the existing improvements to both the south and east. In order to accommodate the ten-foot sidewalks the school district is dedicating property adjacent to School District property. The proposed project was budgeted in the 2019-21 City budget. However, the construction portion of this project is on hold until the results of the arbitration for the Twin Creeks Rail Crossing is complete. Rob Hernandez moved to approve Resolution No. 1605, A Resolution Accepting the Dedication of Right-of-Way from School District 6 for Public Improvements on North Front Street Adjacent to the MakerSpace.

Planning Commission Report Community Development Director Tom Humphrey presented the January 7, 2020 Planning Commission Report: 1. The Commission considered a proposed zone change from Employment Commercial to General Commercial for property acquired by the Rogue Creamery. The property is being considered for business expansion. The proposed zone change would require a traffic analysis to comply with the State’s Transportation Planning Rule. The Commission directed staff to schedule a public hearing once a traffic analysis is performed. 2. The Commission considered a Comprehensive Plan map amendment and zone change for 12.12 acres located at the south end of South 2nd Street. This property has been acquired by School District #6 and is being considered for educational expansion. The proposed zone change would require a traffic 6.A Packet Pg. 6 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jan 9, 2020 7:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA) City of Central Point City Council Minutes January 9, 2020 Page 5 analysis. The Commission directed staff to schedule a public hearing once a traffic analysis is performed. 3. The Commission was informed of the Council’s decision to modify the setback requirements for ADUs. Commissioners were concerned that the change in setbacks would discourage the construction of new ADUs. Other items discussed included updates about recently approved development projects, new construction activity and tentative pre-application meetings. X. MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Williams reported that: He attended the Medford Water Commission meeting. They corrected some mistakes on the proposed rate increases. He attended the ribbon cutting for Bohnert Family Farm Park. There was a great turn out for the ribbon cutting. The Bohnert family seems very happy with the new park. He attended a Fair Board meeting. They were working on details of the budget for the Expo and are very supportive of the City of Central Point. XI. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Chris Clayton reported that: ODOT will be presenting the Vilas Road off ramp proposal at the January 23, 2020 city council meeting. He attended the Bohnert Family Farm Park ribbon cutting. Park Planner Dave Jacobs did a great job on this project. Last week Mike Quilty was elected as Vice Chair for the Oregon Freight Advisory Committee (OFAC). On January 23, 2020 the City Council will be presented with updated drawings for the Community Center and the Dennis Richardson Memorial. We have received notice that the Rogue Valley Bin is no longer in operations. This opens several new business opportunities for businesses in Central Point. The Other Cities Water Group has been working on water rights for the valley. They have reached a point where we will be working on a group IGA to bind us to regional water rights instead of requiring each city to acquire a specified amount. This will benefit the entire region. We will be cancelling the January 27, 2020 Study Session. Alternative dates for the February Study Session will be sent to the Council Members for the next discussion of the Strategic Plan. XII. COUNCIL REPORTS Council Member Taneea Browning reported that: She attended the ribbon cutting for Bohnert Family Farm Park She attended the Community Center Adhoc Committee meeting. 6.A Packet Pg. 7 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jan 9, 2020 7:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA) City of Central Point City Council Minutes January 9, 2020 Page 6 She will be meeting with Governor Brown as part of the LOC Board next week.

Council Member Neil Olsen attended the Community Center Adhoc Committee meeting. Council Members Kelley Johnson; Melody Thueson; and Rob Hernandez had nothing additional to report. XIII. DEPARTMENT REPORTS Finance Director Steven Weber reported that the Finance Department will be doing a software upgrade for Springbrook. They will be live with the new version on Monday January 27, 2020. Community Development Director Tom Humphrey reported that: We will be researching the possibilities for the Rogue Valley Bin property in the next few weeks. It could be available for the Rogue Valley Creamery expansion or other options. Dusty's Transmission is looking to expand. They are working on a master plan. He has talked with the property owner that is preventing the expansion of Haskell. They may be willing to work out a right-of-way agreement to complete Haskel. Principal Planner Stephanie Holtey updated the Council on the UGB amendment. They ran into some hurdles with the Traffic Impact Analysis which delayed progress. However, as of today it looks like that portion is done. We should have preliminary results in the next couple of weeks and able to get this rolling again. Police Chief Kris Allison reported that: The Central Point Police Department assisted Jackson County Sheriff’s Department with a Greenway sweep behind the square dance hall on Table Rock Road. They cleared out four dumpsters of trash. We will continue to partner with the Sheriff’s Department on Greenway sweeps. The environmental impact to these areas is significant and it has nothing to do with plastic bags, straws and trash. 6.A Packet Pg. 8 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jan 9, 2020 7:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA) City of Central Point City Council Minutes January 9, 2020 Page 7 She thanked Councilman Parsons for recognizing Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Officer Mannenbach is doing well after being bitten by a large dog on the Greenway last month.

ACTION REQUIRED: Information/Direction RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis by ODOT Staff. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has analyzed the traffic impacts created by a proposed interchange on the OR 62 Expressway at East Vilas Road (Vilas Interchange) and has identified transportation improvements that would be needed to support it. STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: Planning staff was approached by ODOT staff who asked what the City’s position might be regarding a Vilas Interchange. Committee members associated with the planning and construction of the OR 62 Expressway asked ODOT to evaluate on/off ramps from the Expressway to Vilas Road. An executive summary is attached (Attachment A) for the City Council to consider ODOT’s findings. ODOT representatives will present these findings in person at the January 23rd Council meeting. DISCUSSION: Analysis results shown in the Executive Summary (Attachment A, page 14) indicate that significant road and intersection improvements would have to be made by Medford, Central Point and Jackson County to maintain Level of Service (LOS) standards with the construction of a Vilas Interchange. ODOT is presenting their findings to each jurisdiction and requesting resolutions of either support or objection to the Vilas Interchange. ISSUES: A Vilas Interchange would affect traffic circulation in Central Point and necessitate improvements to various intersections that the State expects local jurisdictions to pay for and construct. Improvements would need to be made at Table Rock/Vilas, Table Rock/Pine-Biddle and Pine/Hamrick. In some cases Transportation System Plans (TSPs) would have to be amended and funding for projects rearranged. The State also raises the issue of added interchanges being at cross purposes with the intent of the Expressway. Their conclusion (Attachment A, page 17) is that ‘the JTA Expressway No-Build Vilas Interchange scenario 8.A Packet Pg. 12 (Scenario 1) is the best overall scenario with the most efficient and cost-effective transportation network. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment “A” OR62 Expressway: Vilas Road Interchange Study Traffic Analysis, Executive Summary, January 2020. ACTION: Consider Adoption of a Resolution to Support Either a Build or a No-Build Vilas Interchange Scenario. RECOMMENDATION: Schedule Adoption of a Resolution for a future City Council meeting.

This analysis was performed in a manner to remain consistent with the 2012 “I-5 to Dutton Road Final Environmental Impact Statement” (FEIS), including the Access Management Strategy. The Jobs and Transportation Act (JTA) funds were insufficient to construct the entire OR 62 Expressway, so for the purpose of this analysis just the JTA funded segment of the OR 62 Expressway (aka JTA Expressway) is analyzed. OR 62 Expressway In 2009, the Oregon Legislature enacted the JTA which earmarked funds to construct the OR 62 Expressway. The purpose of the OR 62 Expressway is to reduce traffic congestion and improve traffic safety on Crater Lake Highway (CLH) in Medford and White City by redirecting traffic to the expressway. In the 2012 FEIS, the Preferred Alternative selected is a new expressway to bypass CLH beginning at I-5 Exit 30 (North Medford Interchange) to approximately Dutton Road located just north of White City in Jackson County. JTA Expressway Construction of the JTA Expressway was completed in May 2019 and since its opening has proven to successfully meet the goal of redirecting traffic from CLH to the OR 62 Expressway. The JTA Expressway includes a four-lane, access-controlled expressway at the southern terminus extending north from a grade separated directional interchange on CLH located just east of I-5 Exit 30 (North Medford Interchange) in Medford. At the northern terminus, the JTA Expressway connects to CLH with an at grade intersection located just south of White City. Vilas Interchange The proposed Vilas Interchange would be located on the OR 62 Expressway at East Vilas Road in the northern edge of Medford’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The Vilas Interchange Management Study Area (IMSA) is bounded to the west by Hamrick Road, to the east by Crater Lake Avenue, to the north by Wilson Road, and to the south by Commerce Drive (See Figure ES-1). 8.A.a Packet Pg. 17 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 5 January 2020 Figure ES-1: Vicinity Map 8.A.a Packet Pg. 18 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 6 January 2020 SCENARIO DEFINITIONS & DESCRIPTIONS IMSA Baseline Conditions For the purpose of comparison, a No-Build/No-Mitigation Scenario (Scenario 0) was prepared to represent the JTA Expressway existing traffic conditions within the IMSA. This scenario is essentially “do-nothing” to the JTA Expressway representing today’s conditions. No modifications were made. The lane geometry, intersection control type, and bike/pedestrian facilities were left as-is. “No-Build” only indicates that no Vilas Interchange is built on the JTA Expressway. Traffic Analysis Scenarios State and federal (for the FEIS) law require ODOT’s traffic analysis to be consistent with local government’s comprehensive plans. The following scenarios analyzed the JTA Expressway traffic conditions with all planned Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Transportation System Plans’ (TSP) Tier 1 (funded) and Tier 2 (unfunded) improvements located within the IMSA. This was done to keep the analysis consistent with the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Plan Organization (RVMPO) 2017-2042 RTP, 2018 City of Medford TSP update1, the Central Point TSP, and the Jackson County TSP. Scenario 1 (No Build): JTA Expressway Without Vilas Interchange – This scenario analyzes the JTA Expressway with no East Vilas Road Interchange. This scenario includes: 1. Construction of all RTP Tier 1 and 2 projects within the IMSA, and four lanes on East Vilas Road. 2. The lane geometry and bike/pedestrian facilities were modified attempting to meet city and county performance standards. These recommended improvements are above and beyond the RTP Tier 1 and 2 improvements, and will need to be amended into the local government TSPs. 3. Traffic signals were added to unsignalized intersections within the IMSA where Preliminary Signal Warrants (PSW) have been met. Scenario 2 (Build): JTA Expressway with Vilas Interchange – This scenario analyzes the JTA Expressway with an East Vilas Road Interchange. The scenario includes: 1 Adopted by Medford City Council December 6, 2018 8.A.a Packet Pg. 19 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 7 January 2020 1. Construction of a grade separated Tight Diamond Interchange on the OR 62 Expressway at East Vilas Road. 2. The lane geometry and bike/pedestrian facilities were modified attempting to meet city and county performance standards. These recommended improvements are above and beyond the RTP Tier 1 and 2 improvements, and will need to be amended into the local government TSPs. 3. Industry Drive is cul-de-sac’d with construction of the Vilas Interchange (per the FEIS Access Management Strategy). Additional Mitigations As an additional mitigation in both Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, Peace Lane has been realigned to intersect with East Vilas Road at Airway Drive. This is driven by a few key issues.  First, the City of Medford / Jackson County Tier 2 Project (#632 / #R91) widens East Vilas Road from two through lanes to four through lanes. This creates two lane changes when traveling east on East Vilas Road from Airway Drive to make an eastbound left onto Peace Lane, which requires more distance than is available between the two intersections.  Second, City Tier 2 Project (#629) constructs a major collector from Coker Butte Road to Airway Drive or Industry Drive. This increases traffic volume at this intersection.  Third, with a Vilas Interchange, Industry Drive will be cul-de-sac’d and the traffic re-routed through Airway Drive. This creates more interactions between Peace Lane and Airway Drive which further validates the need for the realignment. Without realignment, the individual intersections would cease to function because there is not enough space between the two intersections to accommodate the required turn lanes and legal turning movements from one street to the other (See Appendix E for details of this analysis). MODEL NETWORK The travel demand model was used to further investigate the travel patterns within the IMSA. Figure ES-2 uses the model network to depict the volume change with the presence of the proposed Vilas Interchange. Grey is a volume increase and blue is a volume decrease. 8.A.a Packet Pg. 20 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 8 January 2020 Note that the large grey bars at the ramps exist because it is a 100% increase due to the ramps previously not existing.  There is greater change north of Vilas Road than south of it. Traffic is pulled away from not only CLH, but also from outside of the study area: to the east from McLoughlin Drive and Foothill Road and to the west from Gregory Road and Antelope Road.  On East Vilas Road, west of the Vilas Interchange volume increases (reallocation from Table Rock Road, Gregory Road and Antelope Road).  To the east of the Vilas Interchange, the volume on East Vilas Road decreases because traffic uses the Vilas Interchange to travel north or south instead of continuing further east to CLH.  At the southern terminus of the JTA Expressway traffic is pulled off of CLH and reallocated to the expressway.

It can be seen that the traffic is coming from the southwest and headed to the northeast. Specifically noteworthy is that none of the traffic originates from the area southeast of the proposed Vilas interchange. Figure ES-3: Origin and destination of traffic using northbound on-ramp 8.A.a Packet Pg. 22 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 10 January 2020 Similarly, Figure ES-4 depicts all of the traffic using the proposed Vilas Interchange southbound off-ramp. The traffic pattern was further validated demonstrating that the movement is from the northeast to the southwest and no traffic using the southbound off- ramp is destined to the area southeast of the Vilas interchange. The model shows that it is not Medford residents using the proposed Vilas interchange; traffic using the Vilas Interchange is travelling from further southwest (Central Point area) to areas northeast of Medford (Eagle Point area). Figure ES-4: Origin and destination of traffic using southbound off-ramp The model was also used to identify traffic flows at a larger scale. The presence of the interchange increases shorter trips between the southwest and the northeast (Figure ES- 5). This increase in local trips increases congestion and increases travel times. This results in the regional through trips diverting away from the expressway causing an increase in volume on Table Rock Road, Hamrick Road, East Vilas Road, and CLH (Figure ES-6). This traffic flow pattern change undermines the reason that the expressway was originally built by putting longer distance trips on local roadways and 8.A.a Packet Pg. 23 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 11 January 2020 shorter local trips on the highway system. Additionally, on a high scale it can be seen that the interchange does decrease traffic on CLH north of East Vilas Road, but south of East Vilas Road it is actually increased (Figure ES-7). This is specifically detrimental because this stretch of CLH is where the densest retail is located.

In Scenario 0 (IMSA Baseline Conditions) - Traffic queuing problems are mainly westbound on East Vilas Road across most of the IMSA. The Crater Lake Highway (CLH) and East Vilas Road intersection does not meet the ODOT v/c standard in either scenario. However, if jurisdiction is transferred to the City of Medford, the LOS standard is met with the presence of the proposed Vilas Interchange. This is due to about 50% of the traffic volume moving away from CLH and onto the JTA Expressway with the presence of the proposed Vilas Interchange. 2. In Scenario 1 (No Vilas Interchange) - The construction of the RTP Tier 1 and Tier 2 projects improves traffic conditions within the IMSA. There are fewer blocked intersections and turn storage bays than Scenario 0 (IMSA Baseline Conditions). The realignment and signalization of the Airway Drive/Peace Lane and East Vilas Road intersection significantly reduces the northbound and southbound turn lane percent time blocked on those roadways. 3. In Scenario 2 (With Vilas Interchange) - all of the JTA Expressway mainline free- flow segments, ramps, and merge/diverge sections are projected to meet the ODOT Highway Design Manual (HDM) volume-to-capacity (v/c) standards, except for the Vilas Interchange northbound on-ramp. This is an analysis of an afternoon peak period, so a higher v/c may be caused by the increased afternoon JTA Expressway northbound commuter traffic to White City. Additionally, with the proposed Vilas Interchange, the v/c is reduced at most non-ODOT intersections (although in some cases it is a minimal change), but worsens at the two East Vilas Road intersections at Table Rock Road and Lear Way. The volume at Table Rock Road increases because the proposed Vilas Interchange creates a route that is faster than using Gregory Road or Antelope Road to access the White City area. Similarly, at Lear Way the proposed Vilas Interchange creates a faster north-south route so the volume increases moving through the East Vilas Road intersection. 4. The addition of the proposed Vilas Interchange (Scenario 2) causes significant traffic queuing extending east and west across East Vilas Road. The eastbound traffic queue begins at the proposed Vilas Interchange northbound ramps and extends all the way through the East Vilas Road/Table Rock Road intersection, and continues along Hamrick Road approximately three-quarters of a mile. The westbound queue on East Vilas Road begins at Table Rock Road and continues all the way across the IMSA to CLH. The proposed Vilas Interchange introduces significant traffic to East Vilas Road causing intersection blockage. 8.A.a Packet Pg. 27 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 15 January 2020 5. The additional intersections and higher volumes introduced by Scenario 2 (With Vilas Interchange) result in higher crash frequencies within the IMSA. The crash frequency is increased by about 13%. Multimodal Analysis A Multimodal Level of Service Analysis was used to determine the need and potential for multimodal mitigations. In Scenario 0 (IMSA Baseline Conditions) - Adding sidewalk to all roadways within the IMSA generally improves the pedestrian LOS to C or better, except for along Pine Street/Biddle Road, Table Rock Road, and Crater Lake Highway. In Scenario 2 (With Vilas Interchange), pedestrian LOS declines along East Vilas Road. A separated multi-use path is suggested for all roadways located within the IMSA which are not brought to an acceptable LOS level with just a sidewalk. The transit LOS for all scenarios is poor throughout the IMSA due to limited transit frequencies within the IMSA. Transit frequencies are partly determined by funding and land use density, so this reflects the best available service. None of the scenarios evaluated modify the transit service, so it remains poor. Cost Effectiveness Assessment A high-level annual cost estimate is created for each traffic scenario (in 2017 dollars). This captures the savings (or deficit) in annual costs with and without the proposed Vilas Interchange. The annual cost change from the Scenario 0 (IMSA Baseline Conditions) to a mitigated scenario 1 (No Vilas Interchange) is considered, as well as the change from the Scenario 0 (IMSA Baseline Conditions) to Scenario 2 (With Vilas Interchange). The annual cost generated by delay, fuel use, emissions, and crash with associated costs (added delay, fuel, and CO2) is estimated. This net “year of construction” cost is compared for Scenario 1 (No Vilas Interchange) and Scenario 2 (With Vilas Interchange) compared to Scenario 0 (IMSA Baseline Conditions). Additional savings (or cost) are created when the current transportation network within the IMSA is mitigated with construction of the RTP Tier 1 and the Tier 2 projects, or when the proposed Vilas Interchange is constructed in addition to constructing the RTP Tier 1 and Tier 2 projects. The results of this analysis can be seen in Table ES-1. Mitigating the current transportation network creates a savings of about $45 million as the transportation network improvements reduce delay, fuel usage and related emissions. Crashes increase within the IMSA because of an expanded roadway network creating additional conflict points. The addition of the proposed Vilas Interchange (Scenario 2) to the IMSA Baseline Conditions (Scenario 0) only precipitates an annual savings of about 8.A.a Packet Pg. 28 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 16 January 2020 $25 million which is $20 million less savings to the community than Scenario 1 (No Vilas Interchange). As shown in Table ES-1, the annual cost is primarily driven by delay. Further details are in Appendix R. Table ES-1: Change in Net Cost between Progressive Scenarios Scenario Step Parameter Baseline to Scenario 1 Baseline to Scenario 2 Delay $46,000,000 $28,800,000 Fuel $270,000 -$2,300,000 Emissions $18,700 -$157,000 Crash1 -$920,000 -$1,700,000 Annual Savings with Mitigations: $45,400,000 $24,600,000 1The Crash category includes the cost of the crash as well as the added delay, fuel, and CO2 caused by the crash. These conversions were gleaned from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and The Economic and Social Impact of Motor Vehicle Crashes. Another pertinent economic measure to evaluate is to quantify the cost of TSP projects and required intersection mitigations needed to support the proposed Vilas Interchange, broken out by jurisdiction. Although all of the city and county Tier 2 TSP projects within the IMSA were included in the analysis, some of the Tier 2 projects proved to be more critical than others. For that reason, the total cost is expressed as a range to capture this variation (Table ES-2). These are high level estimates (in 2019 dollars) and actual costs may vary. Even with the lower cost range, this represents a significant local investment that will need to be weighed against current goals and project priorities. Table ES-2: Cost Range of Necessary Projects and Mitigations to Support Vilas Interchange Jurisdiction Low Total Cost High Total Cost Central Point $4,100,000 $5,500,000 Medford $30,800,000 $55,300,000 Jackson County $10,700,000 $10,700,000 8.A.a Packet Pg. 29 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis Transportation Planning Analysis Unit OR 62 Expressway Vilas Interchange Study 17 January 2020 FINDINGS With no additional mitigation, the entire study area will have extensive queuing and congestion. The network functions better without the Vilas Interchange. With additional mitigations and no Vilas Interchange, the study area has only one location over standard which indicates the overall demand is not greater than the capacity. Also, the shortest overall network travel time, and the lowest number of intersections blocked by queues are all indicative of a more efficient network. Furthermore, without the interchange there is about half the delay on the expressway than with the interchange. The addition of the Vilas Interchange allows Crater Lake Highway to meet the City of Medford LOS standard (assuming future jurisdictional transfer from ODOT) and also increases the overall average network speed slightly. However, extensive queuing causes intersection blockage both eastbound and westbound across East Vilas Road. Additionally the interchange increases the shorter local trips on the expressway increasing congestion and diverting the regional through trips away to Table Rock Road, CLH, etc. which undermines the original purpose of the expressway. Furthermore the annual savings precipitated by additional delay, fuel consumption, emissions, and crashes compared to the baseline conditions is $20 million less than the savings created by Scenario 1 (even excluding the cost of the Vilas Interchange itself). Also, the Tier 1 and 2 projects and necessary intersection mitigations required to support the interchange require a substantial financial investment of future funds that will have to be weighed against other local priorities. The JTA Expressway No-Build Vilas Interchange scenario (Scenario 1) is the best overall scenario with the most efficient and cost-effective transportation network. 8.A.a Packet Pg. 30 Attachment: Final_Analysis__OR62_Vilas_ExecSum (1237 : Presentation and Discussion of Vilas Road Interchange Study and Traffic Analysis City of Central Point Staff Report to Council ISSUE SUMMARY TO: City Council DEPARTMENT: Finance FROM: Steven Weber, MEETING DATE: January 23, 2020 SUBJECT: Water Account Changeover Policy ACTION REQUIRED: Information/Direction RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the August 11, 2016, Council meeting Ordinance No. 2029 was adopted which, in part, added the provision to Chapter 13 where delinquent account balances become a lien on the property until paid by the responsible party (property owner or tenant) or through Southern Oregon Credit if the delinquent account has been sent to collection. Another change to Chapter 13 included sending the landlord or property management company notification of a tenant’s account becoming delinquent and that the outstanding balance is a lien on the property until paid. In the time since the change in the Ordinance, there have been instances where property owners have felt that the City was trying to bill them for a tenant’s or previous owner’s outstanding balance and that their property shouldn’t be assessed a lien for someone else’s bill. Finance Department staff has explained to them that it isn’t a bill it is a notification letter that the balance is a lien on the property until paid An internal process change that occurred about 18 months ago was a documentation requirement for starting/stopping water service. For a property sale, we require a copy of the top portion of the settlement statement, which lists the buyer/seller names. In the case of a rental property, we require the section of the lease agreement that lists the tenant’s name(s) as well as the signature page. This documentation provides us with a listing of who the responsible party will be on a new account as well as the effective date of the change. We made this change as the City was running into several situations where one roommate is the account holder and moves out with a large bill left to the other roommate or a property sale has taken place and the previous owner didn’t check out of service and there was a certain period before the new owners moved in which kept the account in active status. Another factor that has added to property ownership changes is that the title companies haven’t followed up at the time of closing for an updated account balance. The City has mostly received positive feedback on this new documentation requirement but there have been enough times where the staff has heard that other cities/utilities don’t require this type of documentation that we felt it warranted a discussion on whether to continue this practice or not. In researching other cities, there are varying methods used to start/stop service. Eagle Point has the same documentation requirement that we have; Ashland has an application 8.B Packet Pg. 31 that needs to be completed and signed by either the property owner or the tenant and landlord for a rental property; Medford requires a form be completed by the title companies for property sales; Phoenix and Talent have similar applications that are signed by the responsible party for property sales or rentals. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: N/A LEGAL ANALYSIS: N/A COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS: N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is seeking direction on whether or not to change the ordinance and/or documentation requirement for change in water service. RECOMMENDED MOTION: ATTACHMENT: Sections of Chapter 13 of the Municipal Code ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance Section on Delinquent Accounts 8.B Packet Pg. 32 13.04.120 Unpaid accounts--Termination of service. A. The city may discontinue any city provided water service billed to the customer in the following circumstances: 1. In the event of unpaid charges for water service, repair bills, connecting service or reconnecting service, where the customer fails to pay the amounts and penalties due and owing within seven days from the date a turn-off notice is mailed; 2. If any other charges or assessments that the Central Point Municipal Code authorizes collection by discontinuation of water service are delinquent and not paid within seven days from the date a turn-off notice is mailed; or 3. If any other charges or assessments due the city of Central Point by contract for which such contract authorizes collection by discontinuation of water service are delinquent and not paid within seven days from the date a turn-off notice is mailed. B. The city may terminate service to the account premises in accordance with this section. In the event the city intends to terminate service as provided in subsection A of this section, the following procedure shall be followed: 1. A notice shall be sent to the owner of the property at the address of record and to the customer at the address to which billings have been mailed. However, if any addresses are the same, only one notice need be sent to that address. 2. The notice shall state the city’s intention to terminate service seven calendar days after the date of the mailing of the notice, and shall also contain the following language: “If you feel that there is a mistake on the bill or if you wish to dispute the amount of the bill, or you wish to dispute the termination of service, you may do so at Central Point City Hall during designated office hours prior to the expiration of seven calendar days from the date of the mailing of this notice.” 3. In the event a customer disagrees with the intended termination of service, the finance director or his/her designee shall provide an opportunity for the customer to be heard in a conference prior to the termination of service. 4. The finance director or his/her designee shall, after the passage of seven calendar days from the date of the mailing of said notice, or following the conference referred to above if one is requested and attended, or following the date scheduled for the conference if one is requested and the customer fails to attend, have the authority to terminate service upon a finding that the charges 8.B.a Packet Pg. 33 Attachment: Ordinance Section on Delinquent Accounts (1235 : Water Account Changeover Policy) have been accurately stated and have remained unpaid for a period of more than thirty days after the earliest of the charges was billed. 5. If water service for a multi-tenant building is in the owner’s name and the water user charges are delinquent the city shall also mail or deliver a turn-off notice to each tenant prior to discontinuance of service. The city will charge the owner for each notice. 6. The turn-off notice is considered delivered at the close of business on the date actually delivered or, in the case of mailing, the close of business on the third business day from the date of mailing, including the date of mailing. 7. The council may set by resolution a fee for providing the turn-off notices and for discontinuation of service. 8. The city shall not be liable for any damage resulting from discontinuation of service. C. Subject to subsection D of this section, the customer owing the water bill shall pay all charges or correct all violations before the city will restore water service. D. The finance director may restore water service to a delinquent account upon the acceptance of a plan approved by the finance director for the payment of delinquent amounts. (Ord. 2029 §4(part), 2016; Ord. 1932 §1(part), 2010). 13.04.130 Property liens--Collections. A. If the water customer is the owner of the property, water user charges, plus billing service charges, late payment charge, charge for collecting delinquent bills, damages and any other water charges incurred relating to the property shall be a lien against the property served from the date of delinquency. In the case of a closing bill where the property is being sold or transferred the lien for the closing bill shall attach as of the day preceding the sale or transfer. B. When a bill for water service remains unpaid for sixty days after it has been entered in the customer’s billing record or other city water record, and recorded in the city’s lien docket, the city may refer the debt to collections. In the alternative, or if collection efforts fail, the lien may be foreclosed in any manner provided by ORS 223.505 to 223.650, or as otherwise provided by law. (Ord. 2029 §4(part), 2016). 13.04.140 Tenant accounts. A. The city’s claim against a tenant is transferred to the owner of the property when the city provides notice of the delinquent status to the tenant and mails a copy of the notice of delinquency by first class mail to the last address of the owner or owner’s agent that is on file with the city, within thirty days from 8.B.a Packet Pg. 34 Attachment: Ordinance Section on Delinquent Accounts (1235 : Water Account Changeover Policy) the time the payment is due on the account. The transferred claim shall be a lien against the property served from the date the notice of delinquent status is mailed to the owner of the property. The transfer does not relieve the tenant of the obligation to pay the claim. B. The city may refuse to provide water service to a tenant if the tenant has a previous unpaid utility bill with the city unless the city and the customer agree to a plan for repayment of unpaid utility bills. C. The city will provide information to the owner or owner’s agent regarding the status of a tenant’s account upon request, within a reasonable amount of time. If a request is made verbally, the city shall provide the information verbally. If the city discloses information under this subsection, the city shall not be held responsible for the disclosure of information to a person who is not an owner or owner’s agent.

Attached to this report are copies of the latest plans and minutes from the last Ad-Hoc meeting. Moving forward, the Ad-Hoc Committee is scheduled to look at the new Southern Oregon Student Recreation Center that has some of the same features as our conceptual design towards the end of this month. Following that tour, the Ad-Hoc Committee may meet one more time to analyze potential features and do a final budget review. The first public open house on the Community Center design is scheduled for February 20, 2020, at the City’s Parks Commission meeting. However, staff believes it is essential to discuss the proposed design with Council, and the public, at two additional public meetings before a final recommendation is submitted to the Council in the late spring of 2020. The tentative schedule for open houses includes the February 20, 2020, Parks Commission meeting, an open house on a Saturday in March, and a meeting with the Citizens’ Advisory Committee in April. Following this series of public meetings/comments Council would review the final drawings and adopt a financing strategy in either late May or early June of this year. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: Preliminary analysis indicates the conceptual Community Center plans are within the eight million dollar range. Staff will be working with Councilman Hernandez to prepare a final project budget before the second public meeting in March.

The team will research how the wall panels can be secured with this type of building design and also look into methods to screen/flash the structure to avoid expensive building maintenance ▪ Usage/Security: Depending on how the community center will be staffed and utilized, Rob suggested the committee should study if additional amentities or security features are needed • Dave, Matt, Rob will review the city’s needs for the factility o Rob mentioned that the competition court may require access to restrooms if the remaining portion of the facility is closed off o Tanea suggested adding access to the multi-generational restrooms ▪ Budget/Cost: Confirm potential cost for the current design and identify items for future growth • Tanea indicated that the fitness center currently shown (approx. 3,000 SF single story / 6,000 SF two-story) may be insufficient and the committee may want to consider a different options if the space does not fit the projected business model • Matt indicated that the fitness partnership is still a possiblity o Partnering company want the connection to the community center more than large rental space – the 6,000 SF should be sufficient • Tanea also indicated that other fitness center option may be worth considering – niche market (i.e. family fitness center) ▪ Tour comparable facility: SOU constructed a recreational facility with a indoor elevated track. Rob suggeted the committee to tour a building with similar design elements and possibly talk with facility management team about design concerns/successes and post-occupancy maintenance • Chris agreed that touring the SOU recreational building would be good for the committee and offered reaching out to SOU for access to their facility • Rob indicated he will also reach out to his contacts to see if he can help arrange a visit o Taneea noted that the signage on the perforated metal panel may need to be adjusted to better speak to the community ▪ Matt indicated he liked the CPCC, but understood that it may need to be a better way to convey ‘Community Center’. ▪ Rob also indicated that the front face (West) of the building needs signage for visual connection to the school across the street o Rob also indicated that additional cross bracing may be needed at the exposed bent frame along the East side of the building (near the mulit-generational center) o Chris asked the committee if the team should prepare anything in preparation for February’s public hearing ▪ Rob indicated that the team should hold off additional work until the committee has a chance to tour the SOU facility and the committee has a chance to resolve some of the concern noted ▪ Matt debated whether current design material is sufficient for the public hearing • Tanea mentioned that presenting current design and allowing public feedback for the initial hearing may be worthwhile Action Items Action Owner Due Date Chris to arrange for SOU tour of Rec Center Arkitek Prior to Feb.20 8.C.b Packet Pg. 57 Attachment: CPCC Meeting Agenda-Minutes 200109 (1236 : Central Point Community Center Update) 426 a street, ashland or 97520 (541) 591 9988 arkitek@arkitek.us www.arkitek.us Next Meeting (if applicable) Date: TBD Time: 3:00PM Location: Sun Room, Central Point Objective: 8.C.b Packet Pg. 58 Attachment: CPCC Meeting Agenda-Minutes 200109 (1236 : Central Point Community Center Update)
