City Attorney Sydnee Dreyer explained that in 2019 the City amended its weed
abatement ordinance in an effort to provide additional tools to reduce fire hazards.
The code designated a fire season in order for the city to inform city residents of fire
season; and when fire restrictions go into place. The code also provided for
discretionary provisions for firebreaks on larger parcels.
Staff has determined that it is in the public interest to designate the start of fire
season for May 1 rather than June 1 given that fire seasons are becoming longer
and hotter, and to ensure that fire hazards are removed by the time fire risk becomes
significant. This will allow staff to notify property owners of the need to reduce weeds
and other vegetation. After the recent fires along the green way and concerns about
the fire hazards still present. Staff recommends mandating firebreaks on properties
larger than 1-acre in size rather than leave it at discretionary.
There was discussion that the ordinance could state that fire season ends with the
Forest Service designation. Fire Chief Horton stated that the District Forester
designates fire season start and finish each year. Staff feels that the proposed
amendments will cover Central Point’s needs for code enforcement.
Mike Parsons moved to approve the first reading of an Ordinance amending in
Part Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 8.08.010 Weed Abatement.

VII. BUSINESS
A. Fire District No. 3 Update
Fire Chief Bob Horton updated the Council on Fire District business. Officials knew
the morning of the Alameda fire that there could be issues. Every available fire
fighter was on duty that day and ready to help. There was a lot of devastation, but it
could have been worse. The district is participating in follow up with the community
and county to move forward and be more proactive with fire fuel issues. Central Point
has done a great job with their portion of the greenway. He is looking forward to
working with the city to reduce the fire danger along the greenway.
The districts major focus is on fire fuel reduction and community risk assessment.
They are collaborating with organizations to place bins around the county so people
can dispose of items when the burn season is short and they are not allowed to burn
debris.
The Fire District Community Connect platform launched allowing the community to
share information in case of fire. The district can evacuate or help citizens in case of
an emergency. The program is accessible through their website. The data can help
the district be aware of disabilities or animals that might need assistance during

emergencies.
He explained the Community Care program available to the citizens. They have
paramedics who respond to 911 calls for assistance with medical issues that do not
require an emergency room call.
The District has been finalizing their strategic plan, and thanked those from the city
who have helped with the process. They discussed risk reduction efforts along the
greenway.
B. Jackson County FD3 Hazardous Vegetation and Combustible Material
Abatement Draft Ordinance
City Manager Chris Clayton explained a proposed Vegetation Ordinance to reduce
and mitigate the risk caused by devastating wildfire and smoke in our county. One
specific effort includes establishing a county wide Hazardous Vegetation and
Combustible Materials Ordinance aiming to reduce and manage hazardous fuels.
The destruction caused by the fires in 2018 and 2020 are examples of damaging
fires fueled by unmanaged vegetation.
Chief Horton explained that the Rogue Valley Fire Chiefs Association created the
ordinance for the Rogue Valley with hopes that the County Commissioners will adopt
the ordinance and the local cities will incorporate portions of the ordinance into their
codes. There was discussion regarding specific areas along the greenway that are
fuel for wildfires.
The document has not been presented to the Commissioners yet and they are
expecting changes to be recommended. There are efforts at the state levels to
address concerns regarding wildfires in Oregon. The Fire Chiefs Association will wait
to present the ordinance to the County once the legislators have had a chance to see
if they can address the issue state wide.
It would be nice if the county had something in place to help with wildfire fuel issues
and a way for the county and cities to address issues that are right outside our city
limits. This item was presented to the council for consideration and hopefully support
in the future.
RESULT: FOR DISCUSSION ONLY
C. Central Point Little League Concept Plan
Mr. Clayton updated the Council about the potential of the Little League Fields. A
private investor approached the city about significant upgrades to the baseball fields
and how the city could participate. We have already designated funds to help make
improvements but may recommend waiting until these discussions are complete. He
explained the different conversations regarding the upgrade options for the fields.
The private investor is willing to pay 50% for the project. Staff recommends a 2021 -
2023 capital investment in the Central Point Little League Complex/project.
There was discussion regarding the property being outside the city limits and
concerns about the city paying for property improvements that we do not have
jurisdiction of. If we kept the city funding portion to 25% we wouldn’t need to ask
citizens to be funding the fields. We could look for other investors to help for field

The little league board has never been in favor of the city participating or taking over
the fields. However there is new leadership and they are very interested in the city
helping with the fields. There will be further discussions after we have spoken with
the Board and presented options to the Budget Committee.
RESULT: FOR DISCUSSION ONLY

SUBJECT: Ordinance No. ________, An Ordinance Amending in Part Central Point
Municipal Code Chapter 8.08.010 Weed Abatement
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In February 2019 the City of Central Point amended its weed abatement ordinance in an effort
to provide additional tools to reduce fire hazards. In particular, the ordinance designated a fire
season to more easily inform city residents when fire restrictions automatically go into place,
allowed identification of fire hazards outside the regular fire season, and streamlined the
notification process. The code also contained discretionary provisions for fire breaks on larger
parcels.
In enforcing the weed abatement ordinance, staff has determined that it would be in the public
interest to designate the start of fire season on May 1 rather than June 1 given that fire seasons
are becoming longer, and hotter, and to ensure that fire hazards are removed by the time fire
risk becomes significant. By starting the season May 1, rather than June 1, it will allow City staff
to notify property owners of the need to reduce weeds and other vegetation before the risk
becomes significant. Additionally, staff proposes ending fire season two-weeks later, to
November 15, given that fire seasons are more consistently extending into the month of
November. In addition, staff recommends mandating firebreaks on properties more than 1-acre
in size. Under the prior ordinance, this provision was discretionary.

LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The proposed amendments provide a legal, streamlined, process that offers additional
resources for City Staff when confronting weed abatement related issues.

FROM: Matt Samitore, Parks and Public Works Director

SUBJECT: Resolution No. ________, A Resolution of the City of Central Point Setting
a Water Rate Adjustment Effective March 21, 2021
ACTION REQUIRED:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Medford Water Commission recently completed an
annual rate review/analysis (analysis performed by HDR Engineering) and determined
that the “other cities” water rate category, which includes the City of Central Point, should
be increased by 3.6% beginning March 1, 2021. This adjustment equates to an additional
$34,000 in estimated cost for the purchase of bulk water during the course of 2021-2022.
The Water Commission’s rates have a direct impact upon the City’s water rate structure.
The City’s long-term rate plan—without any increases from the MWC—indicates a 3%
rate increase for the 21/22 FY. This increase would incorporate the 3.6% increase from
the Medford Water Commission, anticipated rate increases in overall personnel cost and
overall inflation in the water/steel market.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: City/Public Works staff has prepared an update to the City
Water Rates based upon the past three years of rate increases. The increase is split
consistently between the base rate and the consumptive rate.
Current Rates:
9.B
Packet Pg. 15
Proposed Rates:
Based upon this methodology the Base Rate will increase by $0.43 and the
consumptive rates by $0.03 for Tier 1, $0.06 for Tier 2 and $0.09 for Tier 3. Attached is
the full rate resolution which reflects residential, commercial, multi-family and irrigation
rates based upon the hybrid rate increase proposal.

Date:
Brad Taylor, Medford Water Commission
Shawn Koorn, HDR
Kevin Lorentzen, HDR
December 4, 2020
Subject: Partner City Cost of Service Comparative Analysis
1.0 Purpose
HDR has assisted the Medford Water Commission (Commission) with their rate setting process
on an annual basis for several years. A key stakeholder in this process is the Commission
Partner Cities who purchase water from the Commission. This memo is intended to provide
comparison of the Partner City cost of service results from the 2019/20 study and the current
year, 2020/21. The comparison covers several exhibits from the cost of service analysis
including Distribution exhibits for the Base-All and Extra Capacity Day. Also included are cost of
service summaries and a summary of rate base changes that are not directly taken from the
exhibits in the cost of service.
2.0 Distribution Factors
The distribution factors that pertain to Partner Cities are specifically Base-All and Extra Capacity
(Day). Distribution factors are a means for proportionally and equitably distributing the costs of
the utility in a way consistent with the way each of the Commission’s customers classes impact
the system. How customers are distributed costs are impacted both directly and indirectly. The
distribution factors are directly linked to the customer’s usage (consumption) of water and
indirectly by other customer’s usage (consumption) of water. There are several other
distribution factors (e.g., customer, revenue) but none have changed materially from the last
year when compared to this year. One of the factors not shown, or included in this discussion,
is the extra capacity hour factor since partner Cities are not included as a factor in that
calculation.
The base-All distribution factor is the proportion of customer’s consumption compared to total
consumption. As a result of the Partner Cities consumption decrease from 2019/20 and
changes in other customer usage the base distribution factor for Partner Cities decreased by
1.15%. Table 1 provides the Base distribution factor comparison between 2019/20 and
2020/21.

The extra capacity (peak day) distribution factor is a measure of each customer class’s peak
day demand on the water system. The factor compares each customer class’s demand,
calculated as peak use less base use, to total demand. The extra capacity distribution factor for
Partner Cities has decreased as a proportion of total due to reduced base use and peak day
demand on the system compared to the other customer classes of service. Table 2 provides
the comparison of the extra capacity distribution factor from the 2019/20 study and the 2020/21
study.

3.0 Rate Base
Rate base is the amount of asset value for which the return on investment is determined. This
includes assets that are “used and useful” less contributions. Return on rate base is one of a
several components that when added together determine each customer class’ total distributed
revenue requirement. Rate base is determined through an allocation process where system
plant components are determined to serve base, extra capacity (day and hour) and customer.
Table 3 provides a comparison of the 2019/20 rate base compared to the 2020/21 rate base.
As the table shows, the net plant in service, which is the value of the plant before being
distributed to customer classes, decreased by 1.1%. This is due to annual depreciation
expense and timing of when the assets are booked (e.g., used and useful). In addition, the
distributed rate base to partner Cities has also decreased. In this case, by 6.8% as a result of
the change in rate base, as well as the decrease in the Partner Cities average day and peak
day demands as outlined in the prior distribution factor discussion.

4.0 Cost of Service Analysis
Another component that makes up a customer’s total distributed revenue requirement is the
distribution of operating and maintenance (O&M) expenses. Table 4 provides a breakdown of
Partner Cities distributed O&M expenses by Base-All, Extra-Capacity Peak Day, Actual
Customer, and Direct Assignment. In total the amount of expenses distributed to Partner Cities
increased by 0.9% which is a result of several factor. Overall O&M expenditures increased
system wide from $11.1 million to $12.5 million a 12.6% increase, however the proportionate
share for the Partner Cities, based on the reduction in the average day and peak day
distribution factors, increased by only 0.9% for O&M expenses.

5.0 Summary
The previous tables show the result of reduced water annual consumption and peak day
contributions by the partner Cities. Simply put the Partner Cities share of the overall costs is
less than in previous years. As a result, the cost distributed to the Partner Cities is not
increasing at the same level as the system as a whole. In fact, costs have declined compared
to previous period with the exception of O&M which has only increased a small amount to the
Partner Cities.
Table 5 below provides the side by side comparison of the cost of service summary. Much of
what was shown in the previous tables is summarized on this table including O&M expenses
and distributed rate base. The Partner Cities rate increase can be explained by comparing the
proposed rate revenue to the current rate revenue.

As a point of reference, the distribution of costs to the Partner Cities will vary annually based on
a variety of factors. These can include the Partner Cities consumption characteristics (average
day and peak day use), overall O&M costs by category (e.g., treatment, distribution) which can
vary from year to year, as well as the assets (infrastructure) that is booked on an annual basis.
However, as noted in this year’s review, a key driver is the Partner Cities impact on the system
from an average day and peak day perspective in relationship to the system as a whole.

MEETING DATE: February 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution No. ________, A Resolution Approving a 2019-21
Supplemental Budget for Receipt and Expenditure of Grant Funds
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Oregon Revised Statutes allows for changes to a budget
when an unanticipated event occurs. More specifically, ORS 294.471 Supplemental Budget in
certain cases; no increase in property taxes permitted. (1) Notwithstanding requirements as to
estimates of and limitation on expenditures, during the fiscal year or budget period for which the
original budget was adopted, the governing body of a municipal corporation may make one or
more supplemental budgets under certain circumstances. One such circumstance is an
occurrence or condition that is not ascertained when preparing the original budget or a previous
supplemental budget for the current year or current budget period and that requires a change in
financial planning.
There are three unanticipated circumstances that require this budget adjustment. The first is a
grant through the Department of Justice that was awarded to the City of Central Point Police
Department which allowed the department to partner with Community Works for an on-site
domestic violence victim advocate. To date the City has received and expended $87,470 as
part of this grant program in the General Fund.
The second circumstance occurred in the fall of 2019 where the City’s information technology
(IT) infrastructure had a ransomware attack. The City incurred cost of $116,240.37 in staff time,
professional services, and software maintenance in repairing the infrastructure from this attack.
The City submitted a cyber-security insurance claim and was recently notified that, after a
$10,000 deductible, the City will be receiving $91,608.22 as reimbursement of costs in the
General and Water Funds.
The last component of this supplemental budget relates to the CARES Act funding of
$550,024.36 that the City received as part of the Federal stimulus package in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic. Previous budget adjustments were made for supply purchases of
$10,170 (Resolution No. 1626B) and the business assistance grant program of $100,000
(Resolution No. 1635) to account for part of the expenditures related to these funds. The full
funding has now been spent and the corresponding budgeted personnel, materials & services,
and capital outlay expenditure categories are being increased in the General, Water and
Internal Services funds.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CENTRAL POINT
APPROVING A 2019-21 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET FOR THE RECEIPT AND
EXPENDITURE OF GRANT FUNDS
RECITALS:
A. ORS 294.471 (1) (c) allows the governing body to adopt a supplemental
budget when funds are made available by another of federal, state or local
government and the availability of which could not reasonably be foreseen
when preparing the original budget or a previous supplemental budget for
the current year or current budget period.
B. The City of Central Point Police Department was awarded a victim’s
advocate grant through the Department of Justice and partnered with
Community Works. During the current biennium grants receipts and
expenditures have totaled $87,470.
C. In the fall of 2019 the City of Central Point had additional costs related to a
ransomware attack. The City filed a cyber-security insurance claim and is
getting reimbursed $91,608 in costs after a $10,000 deductible. The
corresponding budget increases are in the Tech Services and Finance
departments in the General Fund and the Water Fund for rebuilding the
SCADA system.
D. The CARES Act grant funding program between the City and the Federal
Government, passed through the State of Oregon, have been spent. The
total award was $550,024.36. Previous budget adjustments were made for
supplies of $10,170 (Resolution No. 1626B) and business assistance grant
program of $100,000 (Resolution No. 1635). The budgeted personnel,
materials & services, and capital outlay expenditure categories are being
increased in the General, Water and Internal Services funds for the
remaining grant funds.
The City of Central Point resolves as follows:

RECOMMENDATION:
The following item was presented by staff and discussed by a joint meeting of the Central Point
Planning Commission and the Jackson County Planning Commission at their joint meeting on
February 2, 2021.
A. Joint City/County Planning Commission meeting conducting a public hearing to
Amend the City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan General Land Use Map
(Major) adding roughly 444 acres to the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary
(UGB) from portions of the Urban Reserve Areas (URAs) CP-2B, CP-3, CP-4D and
CP-6A. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment also includes a change to
the Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement (UGBMA) adding two (2)
new policies. Applicant: City of Central Point. File No. CPA-19001. Planning staff
from both the City and the County presented evidence and findings to support the need
to expand the City’s UGB to accommodate 20 years of projected growth. The meeting
was conducted virtually and members of the public were given opportunity to testify
orally and in writing. There was support and objection to the proposal. The few
objections that were raised argued against growing into farmland, questioned public
notices and seemed to misunderstand the process of annexation. There was
overwhelming support from various agencies including 1000 Friends of Oregon. The
Commissions accepted written exhibits into the record up until the hearing was closed.
Each Commission asked questions of staff, deliberated and in separate motions,
recommended approval of the amendments to their respective elected bodies.

MEETING DATE: February 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Discussion - Jackson County Road Transfer
ACTION REQUIRED:
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
City staff has been in active dialogue with Jackson County Roads regarding transferring
jurisdiction to a number of county roads within the City of Central Point that are currently owned
by Jackson County. As funds have become available for the past ten years, the City has been
consistently adding county roads to the City street system. Instead of transferring jurisdiction on
a road-by-road basis, City and County staff developed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA)
to transfer these roads as part of the 21/23 FY Budget. In addition, the IGA sets forth additional
prior agreements between the City and County regarding road improvements and/or cash
contributions from Jackson County as a condition of road transfer.
The roads subject to the draft IGA are: (See Attachment A)
1. Pittview Avenue (Bursell Road to 100' east of Marilee Street)
2. Freeman Road (Beall Lane to Rose Valley Drive )
3. Gebhard Road (Beebe Road to Aristona Drive);
4. Beebe Road (100’ west of Hamrick Road to Gebhard Road);
5. South Hamrick (Biddle Road to Table Rock Road); and
6. West Pine Street (Glenn Way to Brandon Street).
Streets 1 and 2 listed above are currently maintined by the City; transferring jurisdiction will
make it easier for City maintenance and urban development. Streets 3-5 above are all within
either existing development or planned development and must become the City's as part of
existing urbanization agreements. The portion of West Pine to be transferred to the City is
eligible for a grant for street improvements that the City obtained in 2017 that has been delayed
due to the Twin Creeks Crossing issues. The City must own that section of road prior to the
work being performed per the grant requirements. The City is scheduled to start design during
the 21-23 FY Budget and Construction occurring in 2023.

Packet Pg. 34
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: Two of the roads are currently maintained by the City, South Freeman
and Pittview Avenue. The County will construct pavement treatment for South Hamrick as part
of the transfer, which will help offset the costs of ownership. South Hamrick was previously
discussed as an urban transfer because of the existing annexations and development, such as
USF Reddaway, the Jackson County Justice Center, and the Knife River office. Street Utility
Fees are already being generated for these roads.
Beebe Road and Hamrick Roads are starting to get development activity on them. Jackson
County has agreed to do a chip seal on the roads when needed, thus deferring maintenance
costs until development around them is on-going. We anticipate the White Hawk Estates'
development will help offset expenses during the 21-23 FY budget.
West Pine Street is surrounded by single and multi-family development that is already
generating utility fees. The upgraded road will help defer any major improvements for 10 years.

Commented [SD3]: 1.Do these improvements need
to happen before jurisdiction is turned over to the
City?
2.Also in the recitals you refer to the County providing
financial assistance for this work, but this indicates it
will be in-kind work not financial assistance. Needs to
be consistent
Commented [SD5]:
Commented [SD6R5]: Matt let’s talk. A couple of
questions:
3.Would it be more appropriate to make a separate
request for transfer in late 2024 or do you want that all
tied up at one time?
4.Is January 2025 a hard date, or is it contingent upon
other factors? Does the City need to have jurisdiction
in order to assume control and management of that
grant? If the project was delayed or funding otherwise
not granted, would the City still seek jurisdiction?

Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
City Attorney
FROM: Sydnee Dreyer, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: February 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Greenway Property Exchange Discussion
ACTION REQUIRED:
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Central Point, Jackson County and the City of Medford staff have been working
together to draft a Property Exchange Agreement in which the County and Medford would
transfer to Central Point all greenway property that is within the municipal boundaries of Central
Point, or located adjacent thereto. The purpose of the agreement is to help ensure efficient
management and maintenance of such greenway property by enabling the City to manage
those portions of the greenway located within its boundaries, or immediate adjacent thereto.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The City’s maintenance obligations will increase. Under the current Greenway Management
Plan 2017-2022, each jurisdiction is assessed a proportionate share for trail maintenance based
upon trail miles within the jurisdiction’s boundaries regardless of ownership. As such, the City is
already paying its share to maintain the trail miles located within the City. However, following
transfer of these properties to the City, the City will be obligated to maintain any portion of those
properties which is outside the 30-foot wide greenway trail area, as that maintenance is
assessed to the owners of such property. Currently any such maintenance would be provided
by either the County or Medford as the respective owners of such property.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The agreement has been reviewed by the city attorney.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
2040 Strategic Plan – Strategic Priority – Community Investment
GOAL 2 - Be a city filled with happy, healthy people who are thriving.
STRATEGY 1 – Develop and maintain positive partnerships with public and private entities and
the community to understand community needs, and leverage resources to develop and deliver
opportunities for personal, professional, and/or vocational development. (Recreation Programs,
10.C
Packet Pg. 48
Maker Space, Artisan Corridor, Volunteerism, Community Events, etc.) (Nurturing individuals
skills and personal growth is an essential element to Central Point’s vitality. While this is an
organic process that must be desired by individuals in the population, the City can make
investments that consider and further the goal of providing an environment that is supportive of
this objective.)
STRATEGY 2 – Through the land development process, foster the creation of “healthy neigh-
borhoods” that provide safe, connected, and comfortable amenities for residents of all ages and
abilities to walk, cycle, play, and access community destinations. (Active lifestyles that include
people of all abilities are foundational to health and wellbeing). 9
STRATEGY 3 – Develop and implement an economic development program/toolkit to attract
more family-wage jobs to Central Point. (Idea that if needs are met, people are more likely to be
happy and make time for leisure, volunteerism, and social interaction).
STRATEGY 4 – Explore partnerships and opportunities to develop and implement urban agri-
culture projects within the Urban Growth Boundary. (Happy people eat well and know where
food comes from).
STRATEGY 5 – Plan, design, build, and maintain a comprehensive system of sustainable facil-
ities, trails, and park spaces, (setting the highest standards) to provide attractive places people
will use and enjoy. Acquire additional lands for active and passive recreation use based on
current deficiencies and public demands created by increasing population or the environmental
and recreational significance of the area. (Be mindful of the budget and plan trail locations)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
None. Discussion item only.

3. Title. Jackson County and Medford each warrant and represent that they are the
