Planning Manager Stephanie Holtey explained that the City Council conducted a
public hearing and first reading of an Ordinance to consider a Major Comprehensive
Plan Map Amendment to expand the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and to amend
the Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement (UGBMA). The Amendment
addresses the City’s need to provide a 20-year land supply for residential,
employment, and parkland and includes land from Urban Reserve Areas established
following a decade long process to evaluate and select lands to accommodate future
urban growth. After hearing public testimony, the Council voted unanimously to
forward the Ordinance to a second reading. During the public hearing testimony was
received in support of (2) and in opposition to (1) the proposal.
There were no recommended changes at the first reading.

B. Second Reading - Ordinance Amending in Part Central Point Municipal Code
Title 10 Adding Chapter 10.12 Preferential Parking Districts
City Attorney Sydnee Dreyer explained that last summer the city received numerous
complaints regarding parking issues on Fortune lane in regards to broken-down
vehicles parked in the public right-of-way. These vehicles created conflicts with
businesses that have use of the right-of-way for paying customers.
The Council directed staff to bring back an ordinance that would establish the
process for creation of districts. The ordinance does not create any preferred parking
districts at this time. If the ordinance is adopted, districts could be created on a case
by case basis in the future if the need arises.
Staff has been working with the Pilot Station in regards to access management so
that traffic does not back up at the Pine Street/Peninger intersection. Having the
ability to prevent parking or issue parking permits for specific areas in town will help
with traffic issues. Section 10.12.100 in regards to Penalty Provisions has a blank
spot so that the Council can determine penalty fee. Council all agreed that staff
should present the penalty fee at the second reading of the Ordinance.

C. Resolution No. ________, A Resolution accepting the Qualified Based
Selection Process for the design and construction engineering of the Hamrick-
Pine Signal Upgrade and Beebe-Hamrick Signal and authorizing the City
Manager to execute a contract with Dowl, Inc.
Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore reported that the City conducted a
formal Qualified Based selection process to select an engineer that would perform
the tasks of finishing the design and supervise construction engineering for the
Hamrick-Pine signal updgrade and the Hamrick-Beebe signal. Both intersections will
meet warrants for these upgrades and have bee planned for multiple years. The
Beebe-Hamrick design is currently in the 19-21 FY budget and the Beebe-Hamrick
signal will be in the 21-23 FY Budget.
Dowl, Inc (OBEC) was the only submission who did the preliminary layout and
design for the signal. The Dowl team has done multiple projects in the City, including
the 99 Streetscape, 99 at Pine signal and Rail Crossing, and various small projects.
Staff is comfortable awarding the project to them. If the Council agrees to the
contractor, staff would finalize the contract and move forward on the Hamrick-Pine
signal design first, and then move on to the Beebe-Hamrick signal. The goal is to
have both constructed and operational before June 2023.
This is a qualified based agreement so staff will negotiate a price with them once
awarded. We have to coordinate with Jackson County and the State. If the project
cost estimate is over $150,000 staff will return to council for further approval.

A. Discussion - Anti-Camping Ordinances
Staff played a video from Jackson County and the Oregon Parks Association
regarding the Greenway and the damage that happens when we do not manage the
open space.
City Attorney Sydnee Dreyer explained different discussions and legislation in
regards to allowing citizens to camp in public spaces. This included a recent
lawsuit in Grants Pass, upcoming ordinance changes that the City of Medford is

implementing and bills making their way through the state legislature. There are
certain things that the city needs to incorporate into our code in regards to
sleeping in parks and on public property.
She explained several bills making their way through the Oregon Legislature.
They state that local government cannot prohibit “sitting, lying, sleeping or
keeping warm and dry outdoors on public property that is open to the public” but
can adopt reasonable time, place, manner restrictions. One of the bills increases
the duration a jurisdiction must hold property retrieved from an unlawful camp
when cleared.
The City of Medford began working on updates to its anti-camping ordinances
placing restrictions for fire season, prohibiting camping in tents and designating
time, place, manner restrictions. Individuals would be permitted to lie or sleep in
certain areas of parks, along sidewalks so long as it does not block pedestrian
traffic or block entrances to businesses, and on other public property that is
generally open to the public, for up to 24-hours.
Central Point City Code treats violations of the code as violations not crimes and
we do not impose excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishment. Cities
cannot prohibit camping unless there are places for these citizens to go. Central
Point does not have services to help the homeless, these are available in the City
of Medford. The recommendation is that we will need to modify the code to
distinguish the difference between camping and just lying around sleeping. It is
being recommended that all the cities along the greenway adopt the same
policies so the transient population know the rules are the same across the
valley.
County Commissioner Dave Dotterre said the County has approved money to
study the overall use of the greenway, and the issues involved. This study will
include options to work with all the jurisdictions. Everything will be on the table to
figure out how we can deal with the issues along the greenway.
Council agrees that we should be working on our code so that it is similar to the
other cities along the Greenway. We do not want to be open to a lawsuit, but we
also do not want to allow camping on public lands. Staff will return to council with
more information once the State and City of Medford finalize their requirements.

FROM: Sydnee Dreyer, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2021
SUBJECT: Second Reading - Ordinance Amending in Part Central Point Municipal
Code Title 10 Adding Chapter 10.12 Preferential Parking Districts
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
None Forwarded
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This past summer the City received numerous complaints regarding parking issues on Good
Fortune Drive/Penninger Road. In particular, there were multiple broken-down RV’s, vans and
vehicles parked in the public right-of-way, and in a couple of instances vehicles were lifted with
floor jacks and were being actively repaired. There were fairly large “debris fields” surrounding
these vehicles creating obstructions in the travel lanes.
These abandoned/disrepaired vehicles also created conflicts with neighboring business uses in
that the hotel often hosts drivers of trucks and other large vehicles that must park in the right-of-
way as the parking lot cannot accommodate semi-trucks and other oversized vehicles and the
Pilot Travel Center has customers using this right of way.
While code enforcement had tagged a number of vehicles in disrepair, City staff begin looking
into other options to better manage use of the right-of-way in that location. Based on that
review, staff presented draft code language to the Council at a prior study session allowing for
the creation of preferred parking districts in neighborhoods in which parking management
becomes a significant issue.
The Council directed staff to bring back an ordinance that would establish the process for
creation of such districts. It does not create any preferred parking districts at this time. If this
ordinance is adopted, preferred parking districts could be created on a case by case basis in the
future, should the need arise.
Section 10.12.100A has been revised since the first reading to establish that the fine for parking
violations will be set by resolution. This will provide the City flexibility in updating fines as
appropriate. Staff will bring a resolution for Council consideration adopting a fine schedule for
parking violations.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:

MEETING DATE: April 8, 2021
SUBJECT: First Reading - An Ordinance Amending in Part the Central Point
Municipal Code Renaming Title 4 and Adding Chapter 4.01 Central Point
Cemetery
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Ordinance 1st Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the August 17th City Council Study Session, staff presented information related to current
conditions and ownership requirements for the Central Point Cemetery. On September 20,
2020, the Council adopted a resolution of intent to direct staff to pursue possible transfer of
ownership of the cemetery, which is a multi-step process.
The current owner is the Restoration and Beautification Foundation and Sally Clifford is listed as
the manager of this organization. The facility is considered an “operating cemetery” under
Oregon state statute which means that internments are performed and that there are
outstanding preneed service contracts for unperformed services, i.e. cemetery plots were
purchased in the past and are still available for use. In order to become an Oregon state
licensed facility, the city is required to adopt municipal code regulating such ownership and use,
develop cemetery rules, and complete state applications for certification and transfer of the
existing cemetery license, along with developing other associated documents.
The draft ordinance 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 provided 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.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Funding options will be investigated further, but the intention is that funding would come in part
from the annual hotel/motel tax, grants and donations through parks and recreation foundation.
7.B
Packet Pg. 18
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City must seek authorization from the State Mortuary and Cemetery Board to operate a
cemetery and to allow the existing operations to be transferred to the City. Adoption of the
proposed ordinance is a first step toward transfer of ownership and issuance of a license to
operate a cemetery. If this ordinance is moved forward to a second reading, Council will be
presented a resolution to adopt the rules governing operation of the cemetery at its next
meeting.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
2040 City of Central Point Strategic Plan
Strategic Priority - Community Investment
GOAL 2 - Be a city filled with happy, healthy people who are thriving.
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:
Consider proposed ordinance and 1) forward the ordinance to a second reading; or 2) make
revisions and forward the ordinance to a second reading.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to second reading an Ordinance amending the Central Point Municipal Code to rename
Title 4 Parks and adding Chapter 4.01 Central Point Cemetery.

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
City Manager
FROM: Chris Clayton, City Manager
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2021
SUBJECT: Jackson County Library - Opioid Overdose Emergency Kits
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Jackson County Library District (JCLD) is working with Max’s Mission
(https://www.maxsmission.org/) to have opioid overdose emergency kits installed in public
access boxes outside of each branch library. Since JCLD leases its building from the City of
Central Point, they have asked me to reach out to the City Council and seek permission to
install one of these boxes outside the Central Point branch. I believe they are entirely open to
the location/placement of the box, but it would be affixed to the wall.
Per the district, the box will be 7-3/4"h x 7"w x 3-5/8"d. It is made out of 22 gauge steel with a
red powdercoat finish. The opening on the front, covered by an acrylic window, is 5”x5. It is
attached to the wall with screws.
Max’s Mission is a non-profit organization that was founded specifically to increase free access
to naloxone. Narcan is one version of naloxone that is administered in a nasal spray. Max’s
Mission will be fully responsible for installing, stocking, and servicing the box.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
If approved, there would be no cost to the City of Central Point.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The Library District lease provides that the District is permitted to use the Premises for operating
a free public library, including all activities associated with a public library, and that the District
may allow outside organizations to use the Premises (e.g. meeting room use). Based on this
language, if the Council allows installation of, and access to, the box, the Council would need to
find that this is a permissible use under the existing lease for outside organizations, or would
need to recommend a minor amendment to the lease to expressly allow this use.
Should the City permit installment of the box, it is recommended that the installation be
8.B
Packet Pg. 26
conditioned upon: 1) indemnification of the City in the event any claim is brought related to use
of the box, access to the box, or use of the naloxone; and 2) the City may want to amend the
lease to make clear that while external repair of the building is shared equally by City and
District, any increased cost as a result of the installation of this box will be the sole responsibility
of the District.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff recommends the City Council consider allowing placement of the kits if the library
district can satisfy legal counsel’s concerns.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to allow placement of the emergency overdose kit as long as the library district can
satisfy legal counsel’s concerns.

SUBJECT: Budget 2021-2023 Community Survey Questions
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Earlier this year, the city council engaged in study session discussions about funding several
large capital parks and recreation projects. Specifically, these projects included the Central
Point Community Center, Central Point Little League Complex, and the Central Point section of
the Bear Creek Greenway.
One product of these discussions included direction to staff to develop community survey
questions that could provide citizen feedback to the city council before the 2021-2023 biennial
budget was adopted in June of 2021.
In response to the Council’s direction, staff has produced the attached 2021-2023 community
survey questionnaire to be delivered to Central Point utility account holders via direct mail, the
city website, and social media.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
City administration budgets for several direct mailing campaigns during each budget cycle,
which will allow us to complete the associated community survey within current budget
appropriations.

Community Center/Fire Risk Reduction 4
In 2019, the City surveyed Central Point residents to determine the level of support for 5
building and operating a community center in the heart of downtown Central Point. The 6
Community Center will provide space for recreation and youth programs, the Senior 7
Center, and other amenities. Survey results indicated strong support for building the 8
Community Center (at no additional cost to the ratepayers), and there is above-average 9
support to pay $3.00 on monthly utility bills to maintain it. Based on these results, the 10
City Council and staff worked diligently to design a facility and, in the process, reduced 11
the operational cost from $3.00 to $2.00. 12
13
In light of the recent fires along the Bear Creek Greenway that destroyed portions of 14
Phoenix and Talent and threatened Central Point, the City is considering using funds 15
from the Urban Renewal District to build "park-like" and "fire-resistant" improvements. 16
The intent of the improvements would be to make the burned areas an amenity to the 17
community and reduce future fire risk to the Greenway and Central Point community. 18

1. Given the $1.00 savings on the Community Center's operational cost, how likely 20

ISSUE SUMMARY

DEPARTMENT:
City Manager
FROM: Chris Clayton, City Manager
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2021
SUBJECT: American Rescue Plan Budget Strategy
ACTION REQUIRED:
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
None Forwarded
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The American Rescue Plan's approval has guaranteed the City of Central Point a 3.8 million
dollar recovery/stimulus allocation over the next two years. The initial payment of 1.9 million
should be received no later than the early summer of 2021, and the remaining 1.9 million will be
received 12 months later in the summer of 2022 (the second distribution is predicated on the
initial 1.9 million be spent according to the ARP program criteria).
Although complete guidance has yet to be provided to local government agencies, initial
parameter on eligible projects/costs have been provided in the following:
1. To respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including
assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted
industries such as tourism, travel and hospitality.
2. To respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID–19 public health
emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers of the city that are performing
such essential work, or by providing grants to eligible employers that have eligible
workers who perform essential work.
3. For the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue of the
city due to the COVID–19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the
most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency.
4. To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure.
Understanding the above criteria, city staff/administration has developed a draft list that
identifies suggested areas of use. After discussing the issues/projects with the city council, staff
will program the 3.8 million dollar allocation into the 2021-2023 budget.
8.D
Packet Pg. 32
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
A portion of the 3.8 million dollar ARP allocation is eligible for "revenue replacement" and will
help the city recover lost revenues that were a product of the COVID 19 health pandemic. The
totality of eligible "revenue replacement" items will not be determined until final ARP guidance is
issued; however, early indications suggest that transient lodge tax (hotel/motel tax), gas/fuel tax
and certain personnel costs will be recoverable.
In terms of recognizing these ARP funds in the 2021-2023 City of Central Point budget, the staff
recommends documenting ARP revenues in the General Fund's interdepartmental section.
Once the revenues are received, funds can be distributed to various projects from this location
without supplemental budget action.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
Central Point's 3.8 million dollar allocation must be spent in accordance with the final American
Rescue Plan guidance. Fortunately, the initial round of stimulus relief has allowed us to become
well practiced at working within program parameters.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
Central Point 2040 Strategic Plan
Strategic Priority – Community Investment
Public and private investments in Central Point include physical (i.e., new buildings, streets,
waterlines, businesses, parks, etc.); social (e.g., programs and services that support people:
families, youth, retirees, etc.); and economic (i.e., programs and facilities that foster new growth
and development necessary to fuel the local economy and provide jobs for residents).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends a council discussion about how the 3.8 million dollars in American Rescue
Plan funds should be categorized for the upcoming 2021-2023 budget process.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
No motion is recommended at this time.
