In particular, City staff recommended creating such a parking district for the Good Fortune Drive/Peninger Road area. Different options were discussed and Council provided staff direction to prepare an ordinance for further discussion and consideration. The city attorney has prepared an ordinance modeled on the type of ordinance used in Los Angeles in which specific districts are designated and parking passes are available to the local businesses or residences of the district to offer to their employees, guests or visitors. The draft ordinance would create the rules under which any such program would operate. In order to establish a parking district subject to these rules, the Council would adopt by separate ordinance the designated parking districts. Under the current draft language, the first parking district to be created would be the Good Fortune Parking District. Although included in the draft ordinance language, the Good Fortune Parking District would be adopted via a separate ordinance. Items for discussion and direction include: 1) is the Council interested in moving forward with a preferential parking district code; 2) what is a reasonable fee for a parking permit; 3) would funds from the purchase of a parking permit go into a specialized fund to manage the program or the general fund; 4) what fine would be imposed for violation of the chapter; 5) is there a maximum number of permits a local business or resident may obtain; and 6) does the Council want to include any parking district other than Good Fortune?

In developing these draft documents, cemetery municipal code and rules and regulations from throughout the state have been reviewed along with Oregon state statutes related to cemetery management. The model used is similar to that of the City of Ashland. The Central Point Cemetery Management Plan is in the process of being developed. This plan will provide specific guidance as to cemetery maintenance and will offer a prioritized plan for improving cemetery conditions. The cemetery municipal code establishes ownership of the facility, management structure, and guidance for cemetery operations. Oversight of the cemetery will be the responsibility of the Parks and Recreation Commission with review by the City Council. Day to day operations will be the responsibility of a cemetery manager who will ensure that the cemetery functions in a manner that meets all required Oregon state standards. Additional elements of the code provide for record keeping, burial and exhumation permits and fees, and authorization for burials. The cemetery rules and regulations provide guidance for day to day operations including hours of operations, services provided, conduct within the cemetery, and information related burials and funerals services. Any changes to these rules and regulations would be reviewed and approved by the Park and Recreation Commission with final approval provided by the City Council. One thing to consider is that the rules and regulations will be much easier to change than the municipal code. Elements from the code could be moved into the rules and regulations if they do not need to codified. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Central Point Cemetery CPMC - Council Study Session 1-20-21 Final Revised.docx 2.
