Applicant: City of Central Point City Attorney Sydnee Dryer read the public hearing notice. Neil Olsen and Michael Parsons stated they had attended the Planning Commission meeting. Planning Director Stephanie Holtey presented the city initiated annexation for 34.64 acres within the Bear Creek Greenway (BCG) South of Peninger Road, North of Table Rock Road Bridge and East of Interstate 5. This is a full consent annexation as the property belongs to the City of Central Point.

Once Central Point has received that agreement we can begin the process with the State to annex these lots.

ORDINANCES, AND RESOLUTIONS A. Ordinance No. _______, an Ordinance Amending in Part Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 8.02 Regarding Chronic Nuisance Property and Chapter 8.45 Regarding Public Nuisance Remedy City Attorney Sydnee Dryer explained revisions to the city's chronic nuisance ordinance in order to provide greater flexibility to address properties that have multiple nuisance violations but fall outside the limited time frame of the city's existing code. The changes will update, reorganize and streamline the process for addressing chronic nuisance properties. Under the existing code a chronic nuisance could only be declared if the property was subject to two or more nuisance activities in a 30-day period. Under the revised code staff can consider properties with multiple nuisance activities over time frames defined at 30-days, 120 days, and 365 days. Staff also recommended providing a clear process for how to address chronic nuisance properties by developing a chronic nuisance abatement plan. Mrs. Dryer stated a few changes that will be made to the ordinance for the second reading. She explained which portions will be changed and the reasons for those 6.A Packet Pg. 4 Mi n u t e s A c c e p t a n c e : M i n u t e s o f O c t 1 3 , 2 0 2 2 7 : 0 0 P M ( C O N S E N T A G E N D A ) City of Central Point City Council Minutes October 13, 2022 Page 3 changes. There was discussion regarding what would instigate a chronic nuisance and what would just be neighbors complaining. What would constitute removing someone from their home under this code. Captain Logue stated that removing someone from their home would be an extreme case. Most cases can be worked out to the satisfaction of the city code without removing someone from their home. Kelley Johnson moved to second reading an Ordinance amending in part Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 8.02 regarding chronic nuisance property and chapter 8.45 regarding public nuisance remedy with administrative changes by the City Attorney.

BUSINESS A. Rogue Disposal CPI Request & Calculation 2022 City Manager Chris Clayton stated that there are two corrections to the staff report correcting one percentage and one date. It does not change the numbers that are being presented. The Franchise Agreement allows for an annual consumer price index (CPI) rate adjustment. The City must review any adjustment proposal to ensure mathematical accuracy and compliance with all franchise agreement provisions. Staff has reviewed the proposed 8.5% rate increase and the current franchise agreement requirements. The increase is both accurate and compliant with the current franchise agreement language. Taneea Browning moved to approve Rogue Disposal and Recycling' s 2022 proposed CPI rate adjustment of 8.5%. RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Taneea Browning, Ward IV SECONDER: Melody Thueson, Ward III AYES: Williams, Olsen, Johnson, Thueson, Browning, Hernandez, Parsons B. Central Point Community Center Financial Update Mr. Clayton explained the financial projections presented tonight are based on cost estimates associated with a variety of design concepts for the Central Point Community Center. These concepts and costs are subject to change based on policy set by the Central Point City Council. Future modification of these designs will likely occur to meet the City's current financial restraints. 6.A Packet Pg. 5 Mi n u t e s A c c e p t a n c e : M i n u t e s o f O c t 1 3 , 2 0 2 2 7 : 0 0 P M ( C O N S E N T A G E N D A ) City of Central Point City Council Minutes October 13, 2022 Page 4 After offering several financial strategies to the Council in September, City Staff met with Jackson County Administration to review our options and discuss concerns, comments, and recommendations. City Staff revisited financial strategy options and is now proposing an additional option predicated on the City's Urban Renewal District servicing Community Center Debt from 2026 to 2040. In 2040, after the Urban Renewal District concludes, the City's general fund would service the remaining debt obligations. Mr. Clayton explained the pros and cons of the lease back option presented the last time we discussed this item. There was discussion regarding the cost to operate the facility after it is complete. The name and marketing plans will be looked at during the design phase. Taneea Browning moved to authorize the city participation in a joint community center design process and for city staff to prepare the 2023-2025 City of Central Point and Urban Renewal Budgets in a manner consistent with the current financial strategy recommendation. RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Taneea Browning, Ward IV SECONDER: Michael Parsons, At Large AYES: Williams, Olsen, Johnson, Browning, Hernandez, Parsons ABSENT: Melody Thueson C. Appointment of Citizens Advisory Committee Member Mr. Clayton explained that we were informed on October 3rd that long time Citizen Advisory Committee Member and Chair David Painter had given his resignation. Staff was able to contact Royce Chambers who had previously submitted an application for the CAC and he was still interested. Additionally on October 10th the City received a resignation notice from Mitchel Price stating that he would be moving out of town due to unexpected family obligations. We will continue to advertise for the vacant CAC position and two vacancies on the Budget Committee. Staff recommends Kristy Painter as the new Chair person. Taneea Browning moved to approve Royce Chambers to the Citizens Advisory Committee and Kristy Painter as Chair.

BACKGOUND The purpose of the amendment is to remove property and to add property and projects to the Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan. The removed properties are not taxable and projects are not contemplated on them. The added properties will enable the Development Commission to allocate funding to the Bear Creek Greenway design and implementation, to add the Beebe Road Bridge Extension and to place the future community center within the urban renewal area boundary to allow funding to be allocated to the project. This amendment is a substantial amendment to the Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan as the additon of acreage is in excess of a cumulative 1% of the acreage of the urban renewal area (ORS 457.085 (i) (A)). The project for a community center is already a part of the Plan, however, the location has changed to be a joint center with Jackson County expected to be located at the Jackson County Expo site. A community center is not specifically identified as a public building project in ORS 457.010 (12). In addition, the community center project was already a part of the Plan prior to the inclusion of a definition of public building project in OR 457. If for some reason the community center project with Jackson County is not able to proceed, the Development Commission still has the authority to expend funds on the project elsewhere within the Plan boundary. The existing maximum indebtedness of $43,177,530 is not proposed to be increased, and therefore, there are no increased impacts to the taxing jurisdictions beyond those calculated 8.A Packet Pg. 15 when the original Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan was adopted. After the Amendment, the Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan Area (Area) will consist of approximately 514 acres of land including rights of way, still within the 25% limitation of urban renewal acreage in a city. The Plan is projected to continue tax increment revenue collection through FYE 2039. At that time, the urban renewal area is anticipated to be terminated and the properties would go back on the regular roll. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice to citizens of consideration of an ordinance was given via utility bills. Notice was also placed on the City of Central Point website. PROCESS The process for approval has included the following steps, in accordance with ORS 457. 1. Preparation of a plan including opportunity for citizen involvement. All meetings listed below were open public meetings. In addition, information was posted to the City of Central Point website. 2. August 11, 2022 Central Point Development Commission review of the proposed Amendment and accompanying Report and motion to forward it to the Public Review process. 3. Review and recommendation by the Central Point Planning Commission. The Planning Commission reviewed the Amendment on October 4, 2022 and adopted Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law that the Amendment conformed to the Central Point Comprehensive Plan. 4. Notice to all citizens of Central Point of a hearing on the ordinance before the City Council via utility bills. 5. Forwarding a copy of the proposed Amendment and the Report to the governing body of each taxing district. The formal taxing districts letters were sent out on August 12, 2022. 6. The Jackson County briefing occurred on October 18, 2022. They voted on a Resolution to approve the amendment on October 26, 2022. 7. Hearing by City Council and adoption of the proposed Amendment and accompanying Report by a non-emergency ordinance. The ordinance must be a non-emergency ordinance, which means that the ordinance does not take effect until 30 days after its approval and during that period of time may be referred to Central Point voters if a sufficient number of signatures are obtained on a referral petition. ORDINANCE PUBLICATION The ordinance also calls for publication of a notice that the Council has adopted the ordinance, for the recording of the Amendment by the Jackson County Clerk and for transmitting the Amendment to the Jackson County Assessor. CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION AND VOTE Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Review and discuss the proposed Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan Amendment. 2. Open the public hearing and take testimony on the Amendment. 3. Vote on the Amendment at the November 17, 2022 City Council meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council hold a public hearing on the Amendment conduct the first reading and move the ordinance to a second reading at the November 17, 2022 City Council meeting. 8.A Packet Pg. 16 RECOMMENDED MOTION I move to second reading an ordinance making certain determinations and findings relating to and approving the downtown & east pine street corridor revitalization plan amendment and directing that notice of approval be published.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW FOR DOWNTOWN & EAST PINE STREET CORRIDOR REVITALIZATION PLAN AMENDMENT Before the City of Central Point Planning Commission Consideration of Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan Amendment Compliance with the City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan File No. UR-22001 Applicant: City of Central Point ) Findings of Fact 140 South 3rd Street ) and Central Point, OR 97502 ) Conclusions of Law I. Introduction On March 8, 2012, the City of Central Point City Council approved the Downtown and East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan (Urban Renewal Plan). Prior to the City Council’s approval, the Planning Commission determined the Urban Renewal Plan was consistent with the City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan. At this time, the City is amending the Urban Renewal Plan to accomplish the following objectives: • Remove tax exempt properties purchased by School District #6 since 2012; • Add land along the Bear Creek Greenway to fund and construct park improvements that balance active and passive recreation amenities with wildfire mitigation and habitat restoration; • Add land being considered for a Joint Community Center with Jackson County (existing project, new possible location); • Add land recently added to the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) from the CP-3 Urban Reserve; and, • Add the following projects: o Bear Creek Greenway park and fire mitigation plan; and, o Beebe Road Bridge Extension. The existing and proposed Urban Renewal District boundaries are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. The purpose of these findings is to demonstrate that the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 8.A.b Packet Pg. 26 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Figure 1 – Proposed Urban Renewal District Boundary Changes Map 8.A.b Packet Pg. 27 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Figure 2 – Proposed Urban Renewal Boundary II. Central Point Strategic Plan The 2040 Strategic Plan establishes the community’s vision, mission, values and strategic priorities. Together, these components are intended to foster the community’s preferred vision for its future as articulated below: Vision “Central Point is a safe, family-friendly, livable community that cultivates its small-town feel by managing growth and inspiring meaningful connections between people and places.” Mission “Creating a family-friendly community that provides a better experience for those living working and doing business in Central Point.” Values There are seven (7) values articulated in the Strategic Plan. These are the principles that drive service delivery, planning and implementation of the strategic plan and day to day functions of the City. They are as follows: 8.A.b Packet Pg. 28 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 1. Accountability – We value the ability to hold ourselves responsible for mistakes, apply what we have learned and move forward in a positive direction. 2. Community – We value a clean and attractive city that inspires meaningful connections to people and places. 3. Excellence – We value a consistently superior performance that surpasses requirements and expectations. 4. Service – We strive to provide the highest level of service possible in the most efficient and responsible manner. 5. Heritage – We value a simultaneous ability to preserve and invent our culture—that is, to conserve our city’s unique history and heritage while developing new expressions for current times. 6. Public Safety – We value a professional service-oriented public safety policy that provides a sense of safety/well-being in the city. 7. Resilience – We value the City’s ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to incremental change and sudden (economic or market) disruptions in order to endure and prosper. Strategic Priorities 1. Community Investment – This priority has to do with making physical, social and economic investments that support the community’s vision. 2. Community Engagement – Responsive and proactive governance requires quality communication between citizens, business and the City. This priority is geared toward building strong relationships and effective communication. 3. Community Culture – Central Point has a unique identify and culture. This priority aims to celebrate Central Point customs, arts, social institutions and achievements. 4. Responsible Governance – There are multiple facets to responsible governance from earning and retaining public trust, maintaining a strong financial position, to thoughtfully hiring and training employees, promoting volunteerism, and developing the policing program. Lastly, this area focuses on becoming a resilient city that has the capabilities needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk. 5. Vibrant Economy – Having a vibrant economy is the fuel for a healthy community. The City’s Strategic Plan focuses on managing growth, revitalizing downtown, connecting the east and west sides of the community and business attraction, support and investment. The 2040 Strategic Plan is the foundation for the City’s Comprehensive Plan. It is important to acknowledge the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment aligns with the community’s vision and strategic priorities. Finding, 2040 Strategic Plan: The Urban Renewal Plan provides a blueprint for revitalizing blighted areas in the Urban Renewal District boundary to increase public and private investments. In the case of the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment, the proposed changes include adding lands that will allow public investment to transform the Bear Creek Greenway. This natural open space areas was severely burned during the September 2019 wildfire that threatened the entire community. The proposed plan amendment to include the Greenway in the Urban Renewal District Boundary and to include the Bear Creek Greenway Park/Wildfire 8.A.b Packet Pg. 29 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Mitigation project will allow public investment in active and passive recreation amenities designed to mitigate wildfire risk while also restoring valuable wetland and riparian habitat. These changes directly respond to Responsible Governance, Goal 6 regarding being a resilient City. By bringing in employment land recently added to the UGB, the City is in a position to incentivize private investment in one of the few commercial properties that is visible from Interstate 5. This directly responds to the City’s priorities concerning Community Investment and taking action to create a Vibrant Economy. It is important to note that this property is adjacent to the potential Joint Community Center site and will be served by the new Beebe Road Bridge Extension project that has been added as part of this amendment. The latter project is essential to providing increased connectivity between eastside residential properties with commercial properties to the west of Bear Creek. The Community Center project is already in the Urban Renewal Plan. The addition of land for the potential Joint Community Center expands the City’s opportunity to provide significant value at a minimal cost by collaborating with Jackson County. This project speaks to priorities for Community Investment and Responsible Governance by providing enhanced services and facilities in fiscally responsible manner. Lastly, there has been extensive communication with Central Point citizens and businesses about the changes articulated in the Plan Amendment. Community engagement included but is not limited to the Open House, written notices and public meetings specific to the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. It has also included the extensive planning efforts that went into developing the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan, exploring the Central Point Community Center design as a standalone facility and as a Joint facility operated in partnership with Jackson County, and the Urban Growth Boundary Amendment. Although each of these is a project unto themselves, together they have informed the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. Adoption of this plan will provide the investment incentives necessary to bring these projects to fruition as envisioned by the community. Conclusion, 2040 Strategic Plan: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is consistent with and directly responds to many of the priorities, goals and strategies outlined in the 2040 Strategic plan. III. Comprehensive Plan The goal of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan is “To determine future growth of the present City to the mutual benefit of the public by consideration of proper land use planning incorporating statewide goals and guidelines in the adoption of policies to ensure a logical, orderly planning process.” This goal is supported by nine (9) general policies as follows: 1. Provide for an orderly and reasonable expansion of the Central point urbanizing area. 2. Encourage the enhancement of private property values and quality of life through compatible arrangement of land uses. 3. Provide flexibility of residential neighborhoods and housing opportunities to meet the changing needs of a growing population. 4. Provide well balance and convenient shopping opportunities for the residents of the Community. 8.A.b Packet Pg. 30 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 5. Provide ease of access and circulation throughout the Community through an improved circulation/transportation system, and properly planned extensions to that system 6. Provide increased localized employment opportunities within the community through the expansion of the commercial and industrial base. 7. Provide for the logical and most economical expansion of community facilities and services to accommodate the Plan’s proposed land uses and continued growth of the City. 8. Ensure the protection and enhancement of existing natural environmental features and productive agricultural lands through responsible land use planning and development controls. 9. Plan for a system of parks and recreation facilities, areas and opportunities that is accessible to all residents and in balance with growth and development. Policies aimed more specifically at the implementation of each aspect of the Comprehensive Plan are contained in each of the following ten Plan elements: 1. Citizen Involvement Element 2. Urbanization Element 3. Housing Element 4. Environmental Management Element 5. Parks and Recreation Element 6. Public Facilities and Services Element 7. Economic Element 8. Energy Utilization and Conservation Element 9. Transportation System Plan 10. Land Use Element Each Element is comprised of goals and policies. The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment has been reviewed against these goals and policies. Those affected by the proposed amendment include goals and policies related to Citizen Involvement and Parks & Recreation are addressed herein. The other Comprehensive Plan Elements are not implicated by the proposed amendment and are not addressed further in these findings. I. Citizen Involvement The Citizens Involvement Element is derived from the Statewide Planning Goal No. 1, which is “to develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process.” To attain this goal the City’s Citizen Involvement Element includes six policies. 1. The Citizen Involvement Program shall involve a “cross-section” of affected citizens in all planning phases and shall include a recognized citizens advisory committee. 2. In order to assure effective communication with citizens, mechanisms shall be established, including such methods as newsletters, questionnaires, posters, and other available media, as appropriate. 3. Whenever possible, citizens shall be given the opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process, including (1) data collection, (2) plan preparation, (3) adoption, (4) implementation, (5) evaluation, and (6) revision. 8.A.b Packet Pg. 31 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 4. The City will assure that all information used in the preparation of the Plan or related reports, is made available in an easy to understand form and is available for review at the community library, City Hall, or other location. 5. The City will be responsive to citizens or groups taking part in the planning process and all land use policy decisions will be documented in written form and available for public review. 6. Adequate human, financial and informational resources will be allocated for the citizens involvement program and such resources will be an integral component of the planning budget. Finding, Citizen Involvement Policies 1 - 6: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment was prepared with an emphasis on citizens involvement. The Amendment addresses citizen concerns following the 2019 wildfire along the Bear Creek Greenway and the desire for and need to manage this area as a park facility for community benefits and safety. Additionally, the proposed Amendment adds land that may be the future site of a Joint Community Center/Emergency Evacuation Shelter with Jackson County. Citizens have expressed support for a Community Center in Community Survey. Availability of the draft Urban Renewal Plan Amendment and opportunity for comment were posted on the City’s web site. On August 11, 2022 the City conducted an Open House event to present and receive comments on the proposed changes. Written notice of the proposed plan amendment was hand delivered to all affected taxing districts on August 12, 2022. On September 20-21, 2022 the City mailed notice of the Planning Commission’s consideration of the proposed amendment to utility billing customers within the existing and proposed Urban Renewal boundary. Citizens will have the opportunity to provide comments before the Planning Commission makes a formal recommendation to the City Council relative to the Plan Amendment’s consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Following the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the City Council will consider the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment at a duly noticed public hearing on October 27, 2022. Conclusion, Citizen Involvement Policies 1-6: Consistent. II. Parks Element The Parks Element is supported by six (6) goals and fifty-one (51) policies in six categories, including: Community Engagement & Communication; Recreation Programming; Parks & Open Space; Trails and Pathways; Design, Development & Management; and, Facilities Development Plan. Responses to this Element focus on the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment involving the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan and parks and recreation improvements it involves. Goal 1: Encourage meaningful public involvement in park and recreation planning and inform residents through department communications. Policies 1.1 Support the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission) as the forum for public discussion of parks and recreation issues and conduct joint sessions as necessary between the Commission and City Council to improve coordination and discuss policy matters of mutual interest. 1.2 Involve residents and stakeholders in system-wide planning, park site facility design and recreation program development and continue to use a diverse set of communication and 8.A.b Packet Pg. 32 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) informational materials to solicit community input, facilitate project understanding and build public support. 1.3 Support volunteer park improvement and stewardship projects from a variety of individuals, service clubs, faith organizations and businesses to promote community involvement in parks and recreation facilities. 1.4 Continue to promote and distribute information about recreational activities, educational programs, community services and events, and volunteer activities sponsored by the City and partner agencies and organizations. 1.5 Prepare and promote an updated park and trail facilities map for online and print distribution to highlight existing and proposed sites and routes. 1.6 Implement a comprehensive approach for wayfinding and directional signage to, and identification and interpretive signage within, park and trail facilities. 1.7 Survey, review and publish local park and recreation preferences, needs and trends periodically to stay current with community recreation interests. Finding, Parks Element Policies 1.1 – 1.7: There was significant public engagement in the development of the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan. The City formed an ad hoc committee that was part of the conceptual design process. Additionally, there were several advertised public meetings conducted by the Parks Commission, the Citizen’s Advisory Committee, Planning Commission and City Council. Once the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is effective, the park facility planning and design will move to a more refined planning level that will include increased public involvement opportunities. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 1.1 – 1.7: The Bear Creek Greenway project involved residents and stakeholders as part of the conceptual facility planning process. Goal 2: Establish and maintain a varied and inclusive suite of recreation programs that accommodate a spectrum of ages, interests and abilities and promote the health and wellness of the community. Policies 2.1 Expand and enhance the diversity of programs offered, focusing on programs that are in high demand or serve a range of users. 2.2 Enable programming and services to meet the needs of diverse users, including at-risk communities or those with special needs. 2.3 Maintain and enhance program scholarships, fee waivers and other mechanisms to support recreation access for low-income program participants. 2.4 Continue to pursue development of a multi-use community center that provides additional space for recreation programs. 2.5 Pursue opportunities to develop an indoor aquatic facility and recreation center, potentially in partnership with other organizations or agencies. Consider financial feasibility and long-term operations needs prior to design or construction of any new facility. 2.6 Implement and support special events, festivals, concerts and cultural programming to promote arts, health and wellness, community identity and tourism, and to foster civic pride. 2.7 Leverage city resources by forming and maintaining partnerships with public, non-profit and private recreation providers to deliver recreation services; coordinate with the school district for access to existing facilities (e.g. schools gymnasiums, tracks, fields) for community recreational use. 8.A.b Packet Pg. 33 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 2.8 Explore partnership opportunities with regional healthcare providers and services, such as Providence, Asante and the Jackson County Health and Human Department, to promote wellness activities, healthy lifestyles and communications about local recreation facilities and the benefits of parks and recreation. 2.9 Periodically undertake a comprehensive evaluation of existing recreation program offerings in terms of persons served, customer satisfaction, cost/subsidy, cost recovery and availability of similar programs via other providers. Finding, Parks Element Policies 2.1 – 2.9: Urban Renewal Plan Amendment involves including land for and adding a project for planning and constructing the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan project. The Plan Amendment does not involve recreation programming. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 2.1 – 2.9: Not applicable. Goal 3: Acquire and develop a high-quality, diversified system of parks, recreation amenities and open spaces that provide equitable access to all residents. Policies 3.1 Provide a level of service standard of 3.5 acres per 1,000 residents of developed core parks (community, neighborhood and pocket). 3.2 Strive to provide equitable access to parks such that all city residents live within one-half mile of a developed neighborhood park. 3.3 Prioritize park acquisition and development in underserved areas where households are more than ½-mile from a developed park. 3.4 Explore partnership with local utilities, public agencies and private landowners for easements for parkland, trail corridors and recreation facilities. 3.5 Pursue low-cost and/or non-purchase options to preserve open space, including the use of conservation easements and development agreements. 3.6 Continue to provide community gardens at suitable sites to provide opportunities for gardening, healthy eating and social connections. 3.7 Provide and maintain facilities for alternative or emerging sports, such as pickle-ball, disc golf, climbing and parkour, to offer residents a more diverse range of recreational experiences. 3.8 Coordinate with public agencies and private landowners for the protection of valuable natural areas and sensitive lands through the purchase of development rights, easements or title and make these lands available for passive recreation as appropriate. 3.9 Maintain and apply annually for Tree City USA status. 3.10 Manage vegetation in natural areas to support or maintain native plant species, habitat function and other ecological values; remove and control non-native or invasive plants as appropriate. Finding, Parks Element Policies 3.1 – 3.10: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment reflects the City of Central Point’s partnership with the City of Medford and Jackson County to transfer ownership of the Greenway properties to the City of Central Point. The purpose of the transfer is to provide greater control in managing the land to minimize wildfire hazard but also to add a parks and recreation facility that will be over 55 acres in size unique in its amenities (Figure 3). 8.A.b Packet Pg. 34 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Figure 3 – Bear Creek Greenway Park Facility Design Concept Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 3.1 – 3.10: Consistent. Goal 4: Develop a high-quality system of multi-use trails and bicycle and pedestrian corridors that connects to regional trails and provides access to public facilities, neighborhoods and businesses to promote exercise, walking and biking. Policies 4.1 Coordinate recreational path and trail system planning and development with the City’s and Jackson County’s Transportation System Plan to provide a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network. Coordinate with Medford’s pathway plans for improved connectivity. Create an updated Pedestrian and Bike Trails Plan. 4.2 Facilitate and provide improved pedestrian and bicycle connectivity from major shared-use paths, such as the Bear Creek Greenway, to parks and other destinations. 4.3 Coordinate with the Planning Department and integrate the siting of proposed path and trail segments into the development review process; require development projects along designated routes to be designed to incorporate path and trail segments as part of the project. 4.4 Expand the system of off-street trails by utilizing greenways, parks, utility corridors and critical areas as appropriate; purchase rights-of-way or easements as necessary. 4.5 Partner with local utilities, public agencies and private landowners to secure easements and access to open space for path and trail connections. 4.6 Implement trail, route and wayfinding signage for trails and associated facilities, informational maps and materials identifying existing and planned trail facilities. 8.A.b Packet Pg. 35 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 4.7 Provide trailhead accommodations, as appropriate, to include parking, signage, restrooms and other amenities. 4.8 Promote the planning, design and implementation of safe pedestrian and bicycle routes during development review to encourage connectivity to parks, trails, schools and local goods and services. Safe connections should be required for new construction and retrofitted into older neighborhoods to promote community health and safe routes to destinations. Finding, Parks Element Policies 4.1 – 4.8: Inclusion of the Bear Creek Greenway property and park/wildfire mitigation project in the Urban Renewal Plan will provide a funding mechanism to plan and develop an enhanced trail system as conceptually illustrated in Figure 3. As shown, implementation of the Bear Creek Greenway project will balance passive and active areas, including walking paths, benches, tables, pavilions/gazebos, playgrounds, restrooms, bicycle improvements, and various recreational areas/opportunities. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 4.1 – 4.8: Consistent. Goal 5: Plan for a parks system that is efficient to maintain and operate, while protecting capital investment. Policies 5.1 Develop and maintain all parks and facilities in a manner that keeps them in safe and attractive condition. Repair or remove damaged components immediately upon identification. Maintain and update an inventory of assets including condition and expected useful life. 5.2 Establish and utilize design standards to provide continuity in furnishings (e.g., signage, trash cans, tables, benches, fencing) and construction materials to reduce inventory and maintenance costs and improve park appearance. 5.3 Update the comprehensive Parks and Recreation Parks Element periodically to ensure facilities and services meet current and future community needs. 5.4 Formulate illustrative master plans for the development or redevelopment of each City park, as appropriate, to take advantage of grant or other funding opportunities. 5.5 Design parks and facilities to offer universal accessibility for residents of all physical capabilities, skill levels and age, as appropriate. 5.6 Incorporate sustainable development and low impact design practices into the design, planning and rehabilitation of new and existing facilities. 5.7 Estimate the maintenance costs and staffing levels associated with the acquisition, development or renovation of parks or open spaces, and pursue adequate long-term maintenance, life-cycle replacement and operation funding. 5.8 Develop and maintain minimum design and development standards for park and recreation amenities within private developments to address community facility needs, equipment types, accessibility, and installation procedures. 5.9 Update the comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan periodically to ensure facilities and services meet current and future community needs. 5.10 Promote professional development opportunities that strengthen the skills and engender greater commitment from staff, Commission members and key volunteers, to include trainings, materials and/or affiliation with the National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) and the Oregon Recreation & Parks Association (ORPA). 8.A.b Packet Pg. 36 At t a c h m e n t : 1 _ P l a n A m e n d m e n t - E x h i b i t A ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Finding, Parks Element Policies 5.1 – 5.10: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment’s inclusion of the Bear Creek Greenway land and park/wildfire mitigation project aligns with the policies directed at master planning an accessible, sustainable, attractive and recreationally diverse park facility. Specifically the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment provides funding necessary to refine the conceptual plan, support grant opportunities and ultimately to implement the final master plan. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 5.1 – 5.10: Consistent. Goal 6: Develop and implement a comprehensive facilities plan in cooperation and coordination with surrounding cities/county and school district. Policies 6.1 Pursue and maintain effective partnerships with public, private and non-profit organizations to maintain parks and recreation facilities. 6.2 Formalize partnerships through inter-governmental agreements to meet mutual goals and objectives of all parties. 6.3 Coordinate program efforts with the School District for joint facility development and maintenance for parks, special event venues, athletic fields and other major facilities to increase availability of recreational opportunity to nearby residents.. 6.4 Collaborate with key stakeholders, land owners and other jurisdictions to identify appropriate and community-supported trail routes that improve park access and link parks, green space, recreation facilities and other community destinations. 6.5 Work in partnership with user groups and project proponents to identify and test new recreational facilities. 6.6 Encourage and pursue mutual cooperation and a “good neighbor” policy with residents and businesses located adjacent to park facilities, trails and natural open space areas. 6.7 Maintain a strong and active volunteer program with opportunities for citizens to become actively involved in programs to develop a sense of community pride. Finding, Parks Element Policies 6.1 – 6.7: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment does not affect or otherwise preclude the City’s ability to develop and implement a comprehensive facilities plan in coordination with other agencies. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 6.1 – 6.7: Not applicable. III. Transportation Element. The City of Central Point Transportation Systems Plan (TSP) was approved by the Central Point City Council on December 18, 2008 and is implemented by Ordinance #1922. The TSP is undergoing an amendment in 2022 which would add the Beebe Road Bridge project to cross Bear Creek and connect with Peninger Road. This amendment is expected to be finalized by December 31, 2022. By adding this to the TSP, the city is able to also able to allocate System Development Charges to the construction of the bridge that can be leveraged with urban renewal funding to undertake this project.

THE PROJECTS IN THE AREA AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS AND THE EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA This section details the new projects added to the Plan by the Amendment. Information on projects already within the Plan is not required in this section. The new projects identified for the Amendment are described below, including how they relate to the existing conditions in the Area. A. Bear Creek Greenway Project. Improve the publicly owned lands adjacent to the Bear Creek Greenway from E. Pine Street to the Table Rock Overpass. The newly created park system will balance passive and active areas, including walking paths, benches, tables, pavilions/gazebos, playgrounds, restrooms, bicycle improvements, and various recreational areas/opportunities. The Bear Creek Greenway Project was added as a result of the blight created by the 2020 wildfires, with the intention of preventing a similar catastrophe in the future. Existing Conditions: The 2020 Alameda Fire burned through the Bear Creek Greenway. The area has not been fully restored and needs additional improvements to help prevent future fire damage. catastrophes. Additionally, the Bear Creek Master Plan identifies a need for additional park facilities in Central Point. B. Beebe Road Bridge Extension. Extend Beebe Road from its current intersection with Gebhard Road to the west, through Jackson County Expo, to connect with Penninger Road. This project includes intersection improvements at Penninger & Beebe Roads and Beebe & Gebhard Roads. Existing Conditions: Beebe Road currently ends at its intersection with Gebhard Road. There is no connection from Beebe Road to Penninger Road. The intersection at Beebe and Gebhard Road is a two way connection. The road does not extend over Bear Creek. 8.A.c Packet Pg. 47 At t a c h m e n t : 2 _ R e p o r t o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t E x h i b i t B ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Page 5 | Report Accompanying the Downtown and East Pine Revitilazation Plan Amendment Figure 2 - Bear Creek Greenway Site Plan 8.A.c Packet Pg. 48 At t a c h m e n t : 2 _ R e p o r t o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t E x h i b i t B ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r Page 6 | Report Accompanying the Downtown and East Pine Revitilazation Plan Amendment III. THE ESTIMATED TOTAL COST OF EACH PROJECT AND THE SOURCES OF MONEYS TO PAY SUCH COSTS Table 2 shows the costs of the projects in FYE 2022 constant dollars and the estimated year of expenditure dollars. These costs are also shown in “year of expenditure” costs, which assumes inflation of 3.0% annually. City Staff provides cost estimates and are reviewed by City Council. These estimates are ballpark estimates and will be refined in the annual budgeting process with the acknowledgement of the limiting total cost factor of the maximum indebtedness. Different allocations may be made to different line items within the Plan. The Plan assumes that the CPDC/City will use other funds to assist in the completion of the projects within the Area. The CPDC/City may pursue regional, county, state, and federal funding, private developer contributions, and any other sources of funding that may assist in the implementation of the programs.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE PLAN The estimated tax increment revenues through Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) 2040 are calculated based on projections of the assessed value within the Area and the consolidated tax rate that will apply in the Area. The long-term projections for FYE 2022 and beyond assume an annual growth rate for assessed value in the Area of 3.5% for through FYE 2029 and 4.0% for the remainder of the life of the Plan. These projections of growth are the basis for the projections in Table 5, through Table 7. Assessed value in FYE 2024 is anticipated to grow by an additional 0.1%, due to the addition of properties to the Area boundary. If actual assessed value growth is less than forecast, then it would reduce the financial capacity of the Area to fund projects listed in the Plan over the anticipated duration of the Plan. Table 2 shows the incremental assessed value, tax rates, and tax increment revenues each year, adjusted for discounts, delinquencies, and truncation loss. The first year of tax increment collections is anticipated to be FYE 2022. Gross tax increment financing revenue (TIF) is calculated by multiplying the tax rate times the assessed value used. The tax rate is per thousand dollars of assessed value, so the calculation is “tax rate times assessed value used divided by one thousand.” The consolidated tax rate includes only permanent tax rates. General obligation bonds and local option levies are excluded, and will not be impacted by this Plan. Figure 3 shows expected TIF revenues over time and the projected tax revenues after termination of the Area. 8.A.c Packet Pg. 50 At t a c h m e n t : 2 _ R e p o r t o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t E x h i b i t B ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Page 8 | Report Accompanying the Downtown and East Pine Revitilazation Plan Amendment Table 3 - Projected Incremental Assessed Value, Tax Rates, and Tax Increment Revenues FYE Total AV Frozen Base AV Increment Applied Increment Shared Tax Rate Gross TIF Adjustments Current Year Net Prior Year Net Total TIF 2022 195,158,782 139,787,170 55,371,612 - 15.7106 869,921 (43,496) 826,425 13,049 839,474 2023 201,938,363 139,787,170 62,151,193 - 15.7106 976,433 (48,822) 927,611 12,396 940,007 2024 209,083,470 139,909,490 69,173,980 - 15.7106 1,086,765 (54,338) 1,032,426 13,914 1,046,341 2025 216,347,310 139,909,490 76,437,820 - 15.7106 1,200,884 (60,044) 1,140,840 15,486 1,156,326 2026 223,863,763 139,909,490 83,954,273 - 15.7106 1,318,972 (65,949) 1,253,023 17,113 1,270,136 2027 238,088,140 139,909,490 98,178,650 - 15.7106 1,542,446 (77,122) 1,465,323 18,795 1,484,119 2028 271,844,661 139,909,490 131,935,171 - 15.7106 2,072,781 (103,639) 1,969,142 21,980 1,991,122 2029 287,976,687 139,909,490 148,067,197 - 15.7106 2,326,225 (116,311) 2,209,913 29,537 2,239,450 2030 298,970,782 139,909,490 159,061,292 - 15.7106 2,498,948 (124,947) 2,374,001 33,149 2,407,150 2031 310,388,891 139,909,490 170,479,401 - 15.7106 2,678,334 (133,917) 2,544,417 35,610 2,580,027 2032 322,247,502 139,909,490 182,338,012 - 15.7106 2,864,640 (143,232) 2,721,408 38,166 2,759,574 2033 334,563,750 139,909,490 194,654,260 - 15.7106 3,058,135 (152,907) 2,905,228 40,821 2,946,050 2034 347,355,437 139,909,490 207,445,947 - 15.7106 3,259,100 (162,955) 3,096,145 43,578 3,139,724 2035 360,641,066 139,909,490 220,731,576 - 15.7106 3,467,826 (173,391) 3,294,434 46,442 3,340,876 2036 374,439,863 139,909,490 234,530,373 - 15.7106 3,684,613 (184,231) 3,500,382 49,417 3,549,799 2037 388,771,806 139,909,490 248,862,316 - 15.7106 3,909,776 (195,489) 3,714,287 52,506 3,766,793 2038 403,657,657 139,909,490 263,748,167 - 15.7106 4,143,642 (207,182) 3,936,460 55,714 3,992,174 2039 419,118,991 139,909,490 279,209,501 - 15.7106 4,386,549 (219,327) 4,167,221 59,047 4,226,268 2040 435,178,229 139,909,490 206,697,513 88,571,226 15.7106 3,247,342 (162,367) 3,084,975 62,508 3,147,483 TOTAL: 48,593,332 (2,429,666) 46,163,661 659,228 46,822,893 Source: Tiberius Solutions 8.A.c Packet Pg. 51 At t a c h m e n t : 2 _ R e p o r t o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t E x h i b i t B ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r Page 9 | Report Accompanying the Downtown and East Pine Revitilazation Plan Amendment Figure 3 - TIF Projections Over Time Source: Tiberius Solutions Figure 4 – Resources Including Future Bonds Over Time Source: Tiberius Solutions 8.A.c Packet Pg. 52 At t a c h m e n t : 2 _ R e p o r t o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t E x h i b i t B ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Page 10 | Report Accompanying the Downtown and East Pine Revitilazation Plan Amendment V. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF TAX INCREMENT REVENUES REQUIRED AND THE ANTICIPATED YEAR IN WHICH INDEBTEDNESS WILL BE RETIRED Table 4 shows a summary of the financial capacity of the Area, including how total TIF revenue translates to the ability to fund projects in constant 2022 dollars, in five-year increments. Table 5 through Table 7 show more detailed tables on the allocation of tax revenues to debt service. Table 8 through Table 10 show potential allocations to projects, programs, and administration over time. The Area is anticipated to complete all projects and have sufficient tax increment finance revenue to terminate the urban renewal area in FYE 2040. If growth in assessed value is slower than projected, the Agency may not be able to complete all projects in the Plan. If growth in assessed value is more robust than the projections, it may take a shorter time period. These assumptions show one scenario for financing and that this scenario is financially feasible. The maximum indebtedness is $43,177,530 (Forty-Three Million One Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Thirty). The remaining maximum indebtedness as of June 30, 2021 is $38,891,711. The estimated total amount of TIF revenues required to pay debt service on the remining maximum indebtedness including principal and interest is $46,822,892 and is from permanent rate tax levies. The additional TIF revenue required for debt service is greater than the maximum indebtedness remaining due to the projected cost of the interest on borrowings (loans).

This is only one scenario for how the Agency may decide to implement this Plan, and this scenario is financially feasible. The Agency may decide to do borrowings at different times or for different amounts, depending on their analysis at the time. The timeframes on these borrowings are designed to have all borrowings repaid at the termination of the District in FYE 2040. The amounts shown are the principal amounts of the borrowings.

THE ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE FOR EACH PROJECT The schedule for construction of projects will be based on the availability of funding. The projects will be ongoing and will be completed as directed by the CPDC. Annual expenditures for program administration are also included. The amount of money available for projects in 2022 constant dollars for the Area is $29,878,413. See Table 2 for the individual project analysis. This $29,878,413 is calculated by reflecting the maximum indebtedness of $43,177,530 in constant 2022 dollars. The CPDC’s cost estimates are typically shown in constant dollars, so understanding how these cost estimates relate to the overall maximum indebtedness over the ensuing years is important to help the CPDC to make projections on the allocation of funds throughout the life of the Area. Table 9 through Table 11 show the $29,878,413 of 2022 project dollars inflated over the life of the Area, including administrative expenses. All costs shown in Table 9 through Table 11 are in year-of- expenditure dollars, which are adjusted by 3.0% annually to account for inflation. The year of expenditure total cost is $38,981,452. The 3.0% inflation rate is the rate to use in the future if any amendment to increase maximum indebtedness is pursued in accordance with ORS 457.470.The CPDC may change the completion dates in their annual budgeting process or as project decisions are made in administering the Plan. The following tables are prepared to show that the Area is financially feasible as required by ORS 457.

REVENUE SHARING Revenue sharing targets are projected to be reached in FYE 2040, as the threshold set in ORS 457 (annual tax increment revenues in excess of 10 percent of the maximum indebtedness) is met the previous year, FYE 2039. In addition, the MI is expected to be reached in FYE 2040, meaning the CPDC is not projected to take the full division of taxes that year, but to underlevy for both the mandatory revenue sharing and the amount that exceeds the MI. Revenue sharing means that, at thresholds defined in ORS 457.470, the impacted taxing jurisdictions will receive a share of the incremental growth in the Area. The first threshold is when annual tax increment finance revenues exceed 10% of the original maximum indebtedness of the Plan ($43,177,530 x.10% is $4,317,753). At the 10% threshold, the Agency will receive the full 10% of the initial maximum indebtedness plus 25% of the increment above the 10% threshold, and the taxing jurisdictions will receive 75% of the increment above the 10% threshold. The second threshold is set at 12.5% of the maximum indebtedness is $5,397,191 ($43,177,530 x.12.5%). If this threshold is met, revenue for the Area would be capped at 12.5% of the maximum indebtedness, with all additional tax revenue being shared with affected taxing districts. If assessed value in the Area grows more quickly than projected, the revenue sharing thresholds could be reached earlier. VIII. IMPACT OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING This section describes the impact of tax increment financing of the maximum indebtedness, both until and after the indebtedness is repaid, upon all entities levying taxes upon property in the Area. The impact of tax increment financing on overlapping taxing districts consists primarily of the property tax revenues foregone on permanent rate levies as applied to the growth in assessed value in the Area. These projections are for impacts estimated through FYE 2040 and are shown in Table 12 for the general government taxing districts and Table 13 for the education taxing districts. The Central Point School District 6 and the Southern Oregon Education Service District are not directly affected by the tax increment financing, but the amounts of their taxes divided for the Plan are shown in the following tables. Under current school funding law, property tax revenues are combined with State School Fund revenues to achieve per-student funding targets. Under this system, property taxes foregone, due to the use of tax increment financing, are substantially replaced with State School Fund revenues, as determined by a funding formula at the state level. 8.A.c Packet Pg. 62 At t a c h m e n t : 2 _ R e p o r t o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t E x h i b i t B ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Page 20 | Report Accompanying the Downtown and East Pine Revitilazation Plan Amendment Table 12 - Projected Impact on Taxing District Permanent Rate Levies - General Government FYE Jackson County 4-H Extension Service District Vector Control RVTD Jackson Soil & Water Cons Jackson County Library Dist City of Central Point Jackson County RFPD #3 Subtotal 2022 (107,396) (2,276) (2,292) (9,468) (2,672) (27,785) (238,848) (166,681) (557,419) 2023 (120,258) (2,549) (2,567) (10,602) (2,992) (31,113) (267,452) (186,642) (624,174) 2024 (133,861) (2,837) (2,857) (11,802) (3,330) (34,632) (297,706) (207,755) (694,781) 2025 (147,932) (3,135) (3,158) (13,042) (3,680) (38,273) (328,999) (229,593) (767,812) 2026 (162,492) (3,444) (3,468) (14,326) (4,042) (42,040) (361,381) (252,190) (843,383) 2027 (189,867) (4,024) (4,053) (16,739) (4,723) (49,122) (422,263) (294,677) (985,470) 2028 (254,730) (5,399) (5,437) (22,458) (6,337) (65,903) (566,516) (395,345) (1,322,125) 2029 (286,499) (6,072) (6,115) (25,259) (7,127) (74,123) (637,171) (444,651) (1,487,018) 2030 (307,953) (6,527) (6,573) (27,150) (7,661) (79,673) (684,885) (477,949) (1,598,372) 2031 (330,070) (6,996) (7,045) (29,100) (8,211) (85,395) (734,073) (512,274) (1,713,164) 2032 (353,040) (7,483) (7,535) (31,125) (8,783) (91,338) (785,157) (547,924) (1,832,385) 2033 (376,896) (7,988) (8,045) (33,229) (9,376) (97,510) (838,214) (584,949) (1,956,207) 2034 (401,673) (8,514) (8,573) (35,413) (9,992) (103,921) (893,318) (623,404) (2,084,809) 2035 (427,407) (9,059) (9,123) (37,682) (10,633) (110,579) (950,550) (663,344) (2,218,376) 2036 (454,135) (9,625) (9,693) (40,038) (11,297) (117,494) (1,009,993) (704,826) (2,357,103) 2037 (481,896) (10,214) (10,286) (42,486) (11,988) (124,676) (1,071,733) (747,911) (2,501,189) 2038 (510,730) (10,825) (10,901) (45,028) (12,705) (132,136) (1,135,859) (792,662) (2,650,845) 2039 (540,678) (11,460) (11,540) (47,668) (13,450) (139,884) (1,202,463) (839,142) (2,806,286) 2040 (402,666) (8,535) (8,595) (35,500) (10,017) (104,178) (895,526) (624,945) (2,089,961) TOTAL: (5,990,181) (126,962) (127,856) (528,116) (149,017) (1,549,776) (13,322,109) (9,296,865) (31,090,882) Source: Tiberius Solutions 8.A.c Packet Pg. 63 At t a c h m e n t : 2 _ R e p o r t o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t E x h i b i t B ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r Page 21 | Report Accompanying the Downtown and East Pine Revitilazation Plan Amendment Table 13 - Projected Impact on Taxing District Permanent Rate Levies - Education FYE Education Service District RCC Central Pt SD 6 Subtotal Total 2022 (18,830) (27,401) (235,824) (282,055) (839,474) 2023 (21,085) (30,682) (264,066) (315,833) (940,007) 2024 (23,470) (34,153) (293,937) (351,560) (1,046,341) 2025 (25,937) (37,743) (324,834) (388,514) (1,156,326) 2026 (28,490) (41,458) (356,805) (426,753) (1,270,136) 2027 (33,290) (48,442) (416,917) (498,649) (1,484,119) 2028 (44,662) (64,991) (559,343) (668,996) (1,991,122) 2029 (50,232) (73,097) (629,103) (752,432) (2,239,450) 2030 (53,994) (78,570) (676,213) (808,778) (2,407,150) 2031 (57,872) (84,213) (724,778) (866,863) (2,580,027) 2032 (61,899) (90,074) (775,216) (927,188) (2,759,574) 2033 (66,082) (96,160) (827,600) (989,842) (2,946,050) 2034 (70,426) (102,482) (882,007) (1,054,915) (3,139,724) 2035 (74,938) (109,047) (938,514) (1,122,500) (3,340,876) 2036 (79,625) (115,867) (997,205) (1,192,696) (3,549,799) 2037 (84,492) (122,950) (1,058,162) (1,265,604) (3,766,793) 2038 (89,547) (130,306) (1,121,476) (1,341,329) (3,992,174) 2039 (94,798) (137,947) (1,187,237) (1,419,983) (4,226,268) 2040 (70,600) (102,735) (884,187) (1,057,522) (3,147,483) TOTAL: (1,050,271) (1,528,317) (13,153,422) (15,732,010) (46,822,892) Source: Tiberius Solutions Table 14 shows the projected increased revenue to the taxing jurisdictions after tax increment proceeds are projected to be terminated.

COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTORY LIMITS ON ASSESSED VALUE AND SIZE OF URBAN RENEWAL AREA State law limits the percentage of both a municipality’s total assessed value and the total land area that can be contained in an urban renewal area at the time of its establishment to 25% for municipalities under 50,000 in population. As noted below, the frozen base (assumed to be FYE 2022 values), including all real, personal, personal, manufactured, and utility properties in the Area, for the Area after the Amendment is projected to be $139,909,490. The Jackson County Assessor will certify the new frozen base of the new properties once the urban renewal plan amendment is adopted. This will be added to the existing frozen base. The total assessed value of the City of Central Point in FYE 2022 is $1,450,597,2071. The percentage of total City assessed value in the urban renewal area is 10.03%, below the 25% threshold. ORS 457.160 (2)(b) states “For municipalities having a population of less than 50,000, according to the latest state census: A. The assessed value for the urban renewal areas of the plan, when added to the total assessed value previously certified by the assessor for other urban renewal plans of the municipality for which a division of ad valorem taxes is provided, exceeds a figure equal to 25 percent of the total assessed value of that municipality, exclusive of any increased assessed value for other urban renewal areas and without regard to adjustments made pursuant to ORS 457.435.” The Area contains 514 acres, including public rights-of-way. The City of Central Point contains 2,904.1 acres. This puts 17.7% of the City’s acreage in an urban renewal area, which is below the 25% threshold.

Infrastructure This section identifies the existing conditions in the Area to assist in establishing blight in the ordinance adopting the urban renewal plan. There are projects identified by the City of Central Point in itemizing blighting conditions in the Area. This does not mean that all of these projects are included in the urban renewal plan. The specific projects that are included in the Plan are listed in Sections II and III of this Report and in the original Plan. 1. Transportation Systems Plan - Interstate Access Management Plan 33 In 2015 the City amended the Transportation Systems Plan (TSP) twice to (1) incorporate the Interstate Access Management Plan (IAMP) 33 into the TSP and (2) add the Gebhard Road extension project to the TSP. All of the projects in IAMP 33 are within the Area and projects that have been completed or are funded for completion in the near future have been excluded. The Gebhard Road extension is partly within the current Urban Renewal Area (i.e. Walmart property on East Pine Street).2 1-5 Southbound Ramp Terminal/East Pine Street TSM - Signal Timing Modifications: Maintain traffic signal timing to safely manage queues on the SB off-ramp Northbound Ramp Terminal/East Pine Street TSM - Signal Timing Modifications: Maintain traffic signal timing to safely manage queues on the NB off-ramp 10th Street/Freeman Road/East Pine Street TSM - Signal Timing Modifications and Queue Storage: Maintain signal progression, change signal phasing, extend westbound left-turn lane striping on East Pine Street to provide more queue storage, consider access restrictions to improve safety Peninger Road/East Pine Street TSM - Signal Timing Modifications: Maintain signal progression to ovoid queuing conflict that affects /-5 NB Ramp Terminal, and change signal phasing East Pine Street TSM Signal Timing Modifications: Maintain signal progression, particularly in the eastbound direction, to avoid queuing that affects 1-5 NB ramp terminal South Sidewalk between Ramp Terminals: Add a sidewalk on the south side of East Pine Street between the northbound and southbound ramp terminals Bike Lane Improvements: Restripe eastbound trove/ lanes between 9th Street and the 1-5 southbound ramp to improve bike lane transitions 1-S Southbound On-Ramp- Dual Westbound Left-Turn Lanes: Add a second westbound left- turn lane on East Pine Street onto the /-5 southbound on-ramp and a second southbound receiving lone on the 1-5 southbound on-ramp 2 City of Central Point Transportation Systems Plan - Interstate Access Management Plan 33 Capital Improvement Project list 8.A.c Packet Pg. 71 At t a c h m e n t : 2 _ R e p o r t o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t E x h i b i t B ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Page 29 | Report Accompanying the Downtown and East Pine Revitilazation Plan Amendment Peninger Road/East Pine Street Intersection Improvements: Implement Central Point TSP Tier 2 Project #236 as revised - Widen East Pine Street to accommodate a third westbound through travel Jane, maintain bike lanes, and odd sidewalks where necessary Figure 7 – IAMP Projects in Area Source: TSP IAMP 33 Projects 2.

Economic Conditions 1. Taxable Value of Property within the Area The frozen base of the Area in FYE 2022 is $139,787,1706. Once the Amendment is adopted, the frozen base is estimated to be $139,909,490.The increment in FYE 2022 is $55,371,612.7 2. Building to Land Value Ratio An analysis of property values can be used to evaluate the economic condition of real estate investments in a given area. The relationship of a property’s improvement value (the value of buildings and other improvements to the property) to its land value is generally an accurate indicator of the condition of real estate investments. This relationship is referred to as the “Improvement to Land Value Ratio," or “I:L.” The values used are real market values. In urban renewal areas, the I:L is often used to measure the intensity of development or the extent to which an area has achieved its short- and long-term development objectives. Table 25 shows the improvement to land ratios (I:L) for properties within the Area. In the Area, 254 parcels representing 36.90% of the acreage have I:L ratios less than 1.0. In other words, the improvements on these properties are worth less than the land they sit on. A reasonable I:L ratio for properties in the Area is 2.0. Only 242 of the 948 parcels in the Area, totaling 16.47% of the acreage have I:L ratios of 2.0 or more in FYE 2022. In summary, the area is underdeveloped and not contributing significantly to the tax base in Central Point.

Impact on Municipal Services The fiscal impact of tax increment financing on taxing districts that levy taxes within the Area (affected taxing districts) is described in Section VIII of this Report. This subsection discusses the fiscal impacts resulting from potential increases in demand for municipal services. The projects being considered in the Amendment for future use of urban renewal funding are for facilitating transportation improvements to allow for better connections and for recreation improvements. The use of tax increment allows the City to add an additional funding source to the City of Central Point’s other funding sources to allow these projects to be completed. The financial impacts from tax increment collections will be countered by future economic development, and, in the future, adding increases in assessed value to the tax base for all taxing jurisdictions, including the City. XI. REASONS FOR SELECTION OF EACH URBAN RENEWAL AREA IN THE PLAN The reason for selecting the Area is to provide the ability to fund projects and programs necessary to cure blight within the Area. The outcome of implementing these projects is anticipated to be an increase to the economic growth in Central Point by providing infrastructure improvements inside the Area to assist with economic development. XII.

Prior to the City Council’s approval, the Planning Commission determined the Urban Renewal Plan was consistent with the City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan. At this time, the City is amending the Urban Renewal Plan to accomplish the following objectives: Remove tax exempt properties purchased by School District #6 since 2012; Add land along the Bear Creek Greenway to fund and construct park improvements that balance active and passive recreation amenities with wildfire mitigation and habitat restoration; Add land being considered for a Joint Community Center with Jackson County (existing project, new possible location); Add land recently added to the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) from the CP-3 Urban Reserve; and, Add the following projects: o Bear Creek Greenway park and fire mitigation plan; and, o Beebe Road Bridge Extension. The existing and proposed Urban Renewal District boundaries are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. The purpose of these findings is to demonstrate that the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 85 8.A.d Packet Pg. 80 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Figure 1 – Proposed Urban Renewal District Boundary Changes Map 86 8.A.d Packet Pg. 81 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Figure 2 – Proposed Urban Renewal Boundary II.

These are the principles that drive service delivery, planning and implementation of the strategic plan and day to day functions of the City. They are as follows: 87 8.A.d Packet Pg. 82 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 1. Accountability – We value the ability to hold ourselves responsible for mistakes, apply what we have learned and move forward in a positive direction. 2. Community – We value a clean and attractive city that inspires meaningful connections to people and places. 3. Excellence – We value a consistently superior performance that surpasses requirements and expectations. 4. Service – We strive to provide the highest level of service possible in the most efficient and responsible manner. 5. Heritage – We value a simultaneous ability to preserve and invent our culture—that is, to conserve our city’s unique history and heritage while developing new expressions for current times. 6. Public Safety – We value a professional service-oriented public safety policy that provides a sense of safety/well-being in the city. 7. Resilience – We value the City’s ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to incremental change and sudden (economic or market) disruptions in order to endure and prosper. Strategic Priorities 1. Community Investment – This priority has to do with making physical, social and economic investments that support the community’s vision. 2. Community Engagement – Responsive and proactive governance requires quality communication between citizens, business and the City. This priority is geared toward building strong relationships and effective communication. 3. Community Culture – Central Point has a unique identify and culture. This priority aims to celebrate Central Point customs, arts, social institutions and achievements. 4. Responsible Governance – There are multiple facets to responsible governance from earning and retaining public trust, maintaining a strong financial position, to thoughtfully hiring and training employees, promoting volunteerism, and developing the policing program. Lastly, this area focuses on becoming a resilient city that has the capabilities needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk. 5. Vibrant Economy – Having a vibrant economy is the fuel for a healthy community. The City’s Strategic Plan focuses on managing growth, revitalizing downtown, connecting the east and west sides of the community and business attraction, support and investment. The 2040 Strategic Plan is the foundation for the City’s Comprehensive Plan. It is important to acknowledge the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment aligns with the community’s vision and strategic priorities. Finding, 2040 Strategic Plan: The Urban Renewal Plan provides a blueprint for revitalizing blighted areas in the Urban Renewal District boundary to increase public and private investments. In the case of the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment, the proposed changes include adding lands that will allow public investment to transform the Bear Creek Greenway. This natural open space areas was severely burned during the September 2019 wildfire that threatened the entire community. The proposed plan amendment to include the Greenway in the Urban Renewal District Boundary and to include the Bear Creek Greenway Park/Wildfire Mitigation project will allow public investment in active and passive recreation amenities designed to mitigate wildfire risk 88 8.A.d Packet Pg. 83 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) while also restoring valuable wetland and riparian habitat. These changes directly respond to Responsible Governance, Goal 6 regarding being a resilient City. By bringing in employment land recently added to the UGB, the City is in a position to incentivize private investment in one of the few commercial properties that is visible from Interstate 5. This directly responds to the City’s priorities concerning Community Investment and taking action to create a Vibrant Economy. It is important to note that this property is adjacent to the potential Joint Community Center site and will be served by the new Beebe Road Bridge Extension project that has been added as part of this amendment. The latter project is essential to providing increased connectivity between eastside residential properties with commercial properties to the west of Bear Creek. The Community Center project is already in the Urban Renewal Plan. The addition of land for the potential Joint Community Center expands the City’s opportunity to provide significant value at a minimal cost by collaborating with Jackson County. This project speaks to priorities for Community Investment and Responsible Governance by providing enhanced services and facilities in fiscally responsible manner. Lastly, there has been extensive communication with Central Point citizens and businesses about the changes articulated in the Plan Amendment. Community engagement included but is not limited to the Open House, written notices and public meetings specific to the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. It has also included the extensive planning efforts that went into developing the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan, exploring the Central Point Community Center design as a standalone facility and as a Joint facility operated in partnership with Jackson County, and the Urban Growth Boundary Amendment. Although each of these is a project unto themselves, together they have informed the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. Adoption of this plan will provide the investment incentives necessary to bring these projects to fruition as envisioned by the community. Conclusion, 2040 Strategic Plan: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is consistent with and directly responds to many of the priorities, goals and strategies outlined in the 2040 Strategic plan. III. Comprehensive Plan The goal of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan is “To determine future growth of the present City to the mutual benefit of the public by consideration of proper land use planning incorporating statewide goals and guidelines in the adoption of policies to ensure a logical, orderly planning process.” This goal is supported by nine (9) general policies as follows: 1. Provide for an orderly and reasonable expansion of the Central point urbanizing area. 2. Encourage the enhancement of private property values and quality of life through compatible arrangement of land uses. 3. Provide flexibility of residential neighborhoods and housing opportunities to meet the changing needs of a growing population. 4. Provide well balance and convenient shopping opportunities for the residents of the Community. 5. Provide ease of access and circulation throughout the Community through an improved circulation/transportation system, and properly planned extensions to that system 89 8.A.d Packet Pg. 84 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 6. Provide increased localized employment opportunities within the community through the expansion of the commercial and industrial base. 7. Provide for the logical and most economical expansion of community facilities and services to accommodate the Plan’s proposed land uses and continued growth of the City. 8. Ensure the protection and enhancement of existing natural environmental features and productive agricultural lands through responsible land use planning and development controls. 9. Plan for a system of parks and recreation facilities, areas and opportunities that is accessible to all residents and in balance with growth and development. Policies aimed more specifically at the implementation of each aspect of the Comprehensive Plan are contained in each of the following ten Plan elements: 1. Citizen Involvement Element 2. Urbanization Element 3. Housing Element 4. Environmental Management Element 5. Parks and Recreation Element 6. Public Facilities and Services Element 7. Economic Element 8. Energy Utilization and Conservation Element 9. Transportation System Plan 10. Land Use Element Each Element is comprised of goals and policies. The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment has been reviewed against these goals and policies. Those affected by the proposed amendment include goals and policies related to Citizen Involvement and Parks & Recreation are addressed herein. The other Comprehensive Plan Elements are not implicated by the proposed amendment and are not addressed further in these findings. IV. Citizen Involvement The Citizens Involvement Element is derived from the Statewide Planning Goal No. 1, which is “to develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process.” To attain this goal the City’s Citizen Involvement Element includes six policies. 1. The Citizen Involvement Program shall involve a “cross-section” of affected citizens in all planning phases and shall include a recognized citizens advisory committee. 2. In order to assure effective communication with citizens, mechanisms shall be established, including such methods as newsletters, questionnaires, posters, and other available media, as appropriate. 3. Whenever possible, citizens shall be given the opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process, including (1) data collection, (2) plan preparation, (3) adoption, (4) implementation, (5) evaluation, and (6) revision. 90 8.A.d Packet Pg. 85 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 4. The City will assure that all information used in the preparation of the Plan or related reports, is made available in an easy to understand form and is available for review at the community library, City Hall, or other location. 5. The City will be responsive to citizens or groups taking part in the planning process and all land use policy decisions will be documented in written form and available for public review. 6. Adequate human, financial and informational resources will be allocated for the citizens involvement program and such resources will be an integral component of the planning budget. Finding, Citizen Involvement Policies 1 - 6: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment was prepared with an emphasis on citizens involvement. The Amendment addresses citizen concerns following the 2019 wildfire along the Bear Creek Greenway and the desire for and need to manage this area as a park facility for community benefits and safety. Additionally, the proposed Amendment adds land that may be the future site of a Joint Community Center/Emergency Evacuation Shelter with Jackson County. Citizens have expressed support for a Community Center in Community Survey. Availability of the draft Urban Renewal Plan Amendment and opportunity for comment were posted on the City’s web site. On August 11, 2022 the City conducted an Open House event to present and receive comments on the proposed changes. Written notice of the proposed plan amendment was hand delivered to all affected taxing districts on August 12, 2022. On September 20-21, 2022 the City mailed notice of the Planning Commission’s consideration of the proposed amendment to utility billing customers within the existing and proposed Urban Renewal boundary. Citizens will have the opportunity to provide comments before the Planning Commission makes a formal recommendation to the City Council relative to the Plan Amendment’s consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Following the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the City Council will consider the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment at a duly noticed public hearing on October 27, 2022. Conclusion, Citizen Involvement Policies 1-6: Consistent. V. Parks Element The Parks Element is supported by six (6) goals and fifty-one (51) policies in six categories, including: Community Engagement & Communication; Recreation Programming; Parks & Open Space; Trails and Pathways; Design, Development & Management; and, Facilities Development Plan. Responses to this Element focus on the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment involving the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan and parks and recreation improvements it involves. Goal 1: Encourage meaningful public involvement in park and recreation planning and inform residents through department communications. 91 8.A.d Packet Pg. 86 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Policies 1.1 Support the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission) as the forum for public discussion of parks and recreation issues and conduct joint sessions as necessary between the Commission and City Council to improve coordination and discuss policy matters of mutual interest. 1.2 Involve residents and stakeholders in system-wide planning, park site facility design and recreation program development and continue to use a diverse set of communication and informational materials to solicit community input, facilitate project understanding and build public support. 1.3 Support volunteer park improvement and stewardship projects from a variety of individuals, service clubs, faith organizations and businesses to promote community involvement in parks and recreation facilities. 1.4 Continue to promote and distribute information about recreational activities, educational programs, community services and events, and volunteer activities sponsored by the City and partner agencies and organizations. 1.5 Prepare and promote an updated park and trail facilities map for online and print distribution to highlight existing and proposed sites and routes. 1.6 Implement a comprehensive approach for wayfinding and directional signage to, and identification and interpretive signage within, park and trail facilities. 1.7 Survey, review and publish local park and recreation preferences, needs and trends periodically to stay current with community recreation interests. Finding, Parks Element Policies 1.1 – 1.7: There was significant public engagement in the development of the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan. The City formed an ad hoc committee that was part of the conceptual design process. Additionally, there were several advertised public meetings conducted by the Parks Commission, the Citizen’s Advisory Committee, Planning Commission and City Council. Once the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is effective, the park facility planning and design will move to a more refined planning level that will include increased public involvement opportunities. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 1.1 – 1.7: The Bear Creek Greenway project involved residents and stakeholders as part of the conceptual facility planning process. Goal 2: Establish and maintain a varied and inclusive suite of recreation programs that accommodate a spectrum of ages, interests and abilities and promote the health and wellness of the community. Policies 2.1 Expand and enhance the diversity of programs offered, focusing on programs that are in high demand or serve a range of users. 92 8.A.d Packet Pg. 87 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 2.2 Enable programming and services to meet the needs of diverse users, including at-risk communities or those with special needs. 2.3 Maintain and enhance program scholarships, fee waivers and other mechanisms to support recreation access for low-income program participants. 2.4 Continue to pursue development of a multi-use community center that provides additional space for recreation programs. 2.5 Pursue opportunities to develop an indoor aquatic facility and recreation center, potentially in partnership with other organizations or agencies. Consider financial feasibility and long-term operations needs prior to design or construction of any new facility. 2.6 Implement and support special events, festivals, concerts and cultural programming to promote arts, health and wellness, community identity and tourism, and to foster civic pride. 2.7 Leverage city resources by forming and maintaining partnerships with public, non-profit and private recreation providers to deliver recreation services; coordinate with the school district for access to existing facilities (e.g. schools gymnasiums, tracks, fields) for community recreational use. 2.8 Explore partnership opportunities with regional healthcare providers and services, such as Providence, Asante and the Jackson County Health and Human Department, to promote wellness activities, healthy lifestyles and communications about local recreation facilities and the benefits of parks and recreation. 2.9 Periodically undertake a comprehensive evaluation of existing recreation program offerings in terms of persons served, customer satisfaction, cost/subsidy, cost recovery and availability of similar programs via other providers. Finding, Parks Element Policies 2.1 – 2.9: Urban Renewal Plan Amendment involves including land for and adding a project for planning and constructing the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan project. The Plan Amendment does not involve recreation programming. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 2.1 – 2.9: Not applicable. Goal 3: Acquire and develop a high-quality, diversified system of parks, recreation amenities and open spaces that provide equitable access to all residents. Policies 3.1 Provide a level of service standard of 3.5 acres per 1,000 residents of developed core parks (community, neighborhood and pocket). 3.2 Strive to provide equitable access to parks such that all city residents live within one- half mile of a developed neighborhood park. 93 8.A.d Packet Pg. 88 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 3.3 Prioritize park acquisition and development in underserved areas where households are more than ½-mile from a developed park. 3.4 Explore partnership with local utilities, public agencies and private landowners for easements for parkland, trail corridors and recreation facilities. 3.5 Pursue low-cost and/or non-purchase options to preserve open space, including the use of conservation easements and development agreements. 3.6 Continue to provide community gardens at suitable sites to provide opportunities for gardening, healthy eating and social connections. 3.7 Provide and maintain facilities for alternative or emerging sports, such as pickle-ball, disc golf, climbing and parkour, to offer residents a more diverse range of recreational experiences. 3.8 Coordinate with public agencies and private landowners for the protection of valuable natural areas and sensitive lands through the purchase of development rights, easements or title and make these lands available for passive recreation as appropriate. 3.9 Maintain and apply annually for Tree City USA status. 3.10 Manage vegetation in natural areas to support or maintain native plant species, habitat function and other ecological values; remove and control non-native or invasive plants as appropriate. Finding, Parks Element Policies 3.1 – 3.10: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment reflects the City of Central Point’s partnership with the City of Medford and Jackson County to transfer ownership of the Greenway properties to the City of Central Point. The purpose of the transfer is to provide greater control in managing the land to minimize wildfire hazard but also to add a parks and recreation facility that will be over 55 acres in size unique in its amenities (Figure 3). 94 8.A.d Packet Pg. 89 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Figure 3 – Bear Creek Greenway Park Facility Design Concept Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 3.1 – 3.10: Consistent. Goal 4: Develop a high-quality system of multi-use trails and bicycle and pedestrian corridors that connects to regional trails and provides access to public facilities, neighborhoods and businesses to promote exercise, walking and biking. Policies 4.1 Coordinate recreational path and trail system planning and development with the City’s and Jackson County’s Transportation System Plan to provide a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network. Coordinate with Medford’s pathway plans for improved connectivity. Create an updated Pedestrian and Bike Trails Plan. 4.2 Facilitate and provide improved pedestrian and bicycle connectivity from major shared- use paths, such as the Bear Creek Greenway, to parks and other destinations. 4.3 Coordinate with the Planning Department and integrate the siting of proposed path and trail segments into the development review process; require development projects along designated routes to be designed to incorporate path and trail segments as part of the project. 4.4 Expand the system of off-street trails by utilizing greenways, parks, utility corridors and critical areas as appropriate; purchase rights-of-way or easements as necessary. 95 8.A.d Packet Pg. 90 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 4.5 Partner with local utilities, public agencies and private landowners to secure easements and access to open space for path and trail connections. 4.6 Implement trail, route and wayfinding signage for trails and associated facilities, informational maps and materials identifying existing and planned trail facilities. 4.7 Provide trailhead accommodations, as appropriate, to include parking, signage, restrooms and other amenities. 4.8 Promote the planning, design and implementation of safe pedestrian and bicycle routes during development review to encourage connectivity to parks, trails, schools and local goods and services. Safe connections should be required for new construction and retrofitted into older neighborhoods to promote community health and safe routes to destinations. Finding, Parks Element Policies 4.1 – 4.8: Inclusion of the Bear Creek Greenway property and park/wildfire mitigation project in the Urban Renewal Plan will provide a funding mechanism to plan and develop an enhanced trail system as conceptually illustrated in Figure 3. As shown, implementation of the Bear Creek Greenway project will balance passive and active areas, including walking paths, benches, tables, pavilions/gazebos, playgrounds, restrooms, bicycle improvements, and various recreational areas/opportunities. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 4.1 – 4.8: Consistent. Goal 5: Plan for a parks system that is efficient to maintain and operate, while protecting capital investment. Policies 5.1 Develop and maintain all parks and facilities in a manner that keeps them in safe and attractive condition. Repair or remove damaged components immediately upon identification. Maintain and update an inventory of assets including condition and expected useful life. 5.2 Establish and utilize design standards to provide continuity in furnishings (e.g., signage, trash cans, tables, benches, fencing) and construction materials to reduce inventory and maintenance costs and improve park appearance. 5.3 Update the comprehensive Parks and Recreation Parks Element periodically to ensure facilities and services meet current and future community needs. 5.4 Formulate illustrative master plans for the development or redevelopment of each City park, as appropriate, to take advantage of grant or other funding opportunities. 5.5 Design parks and facilities to offer universal accessibility for residents of all physical capabilities, skill levels and age, as appropriate. 5.6 Incorporate sustainable development and low impact design practices into the design, planning and rehabilitation of new and existing facilities. 96 8.A.d Packet Pg. 91 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 5.7 Estimate the maintenance costs and staffing levels associated with the acquisition, development or renovation of parks or open spaces, and pursue adequate long-term maintenance, life-cycle replacement and operation funding. 5.8 Develop and maintain minimum design and development standards for park and recreation amenities within private developments to address community facility needs, equipment types, accessibility, and installation procedures. 5.9 Update the comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan periodically to ensure facilities and services meet current and future community needs. 5.10 Promote professional development opportunities that strengthen the skills and engender greater commitment from staff, Commission members and key volunteers, to include trainings, materials and/or affiliation with the National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) and the Oregon Recreation & Parks Association (ORPA). Finding, Parks Element Policies 5.1 – 5.10: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment’s inclusion of the Bear Creek Greenway land and park/wildfire mitigation project aligns with the policies directed at master planning an accessible, sustainable, attractive and recreationally diverse park facility. Specifically the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment provides funding necessary to refine the conceptual plan, support grant opportunities and ultimately to implement the final master plan. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 5.1 – 5.10: Consistent. Goal 6: Develop and implement a comprehensive facilities plan in cooperation and coordination with surrounding cities/county and school district. Policies 6.1 Pursue and maintain effective partnerships with public, private and non-profit organizations to maintain parks and recreation facilities. 6.2 Formalize partnerships through inter-governmental agreements to meet mutual goals and objectives of all parties. 6.3 Coordinate program efforts with the School District for joint facility development and maintenance for parks, special event venues, athletic fields and other major facilities to increase availability of recreational opportunity to nearby residents.. 6.4 Collaborate with key stakeholders, land owners and other jurisdictions to identify appropriate and community-supported trail routes that improve park access and link parks, green space, recreation facilities and other community destinations. 6.5 Work in partnership with user groups and project proponents to identify and test new recreational facilities. 6.6 Encourage and pursue mutual cooperation and a “good neighbor” policy with residents and businesses located adjacent to park facilities, trails and natural open space areas. 97 8.A.d Packet Pg. 92 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) 6.7 Maintain a strong and active volunteer program with opportunities for citizens to become actively involved in programs to develop a sense of community pride. Finding, Parks Element Policies 6.1 – 6.7: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment does not affect or otherwise preclude the City’s ability to develop and implement a comprehensive facilities plan in coordination with other agencies. Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 6.1 – 6.7: Not applicable. VI. Transportation Element. The City of Central Point Transportation Systems Plan (TSP) was approved by the Central Point City Council on December 18, 2008 and is implemented by Ordinance #1922. The TSP is undergoing an amendment in 2022 which would add the Beebe Road Bridge project to cross Bear Creek and connect with Peninger Road. This amendment is expected to be finalized by December 31, 2022. By adding this to the TSP, the city is able to also able to allocate System Development Charges to the construction of the bridge that can be leveraged with urban renewal funding to undertake this project. Finding, Transportation Element: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment adds an transportation project identified Conclusion, Transportation Element: Consistent. VII. Conclusion As evidenced by the findings and conclusions herein, the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is consistent with the City’s Strategic Plan and the applicable elements of the City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan. 98 8.A.d Packet Pg. 93 At t a c h m e n t : P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n F i n d i n g s _ E x h i b i t C ( 1 6 0 1 : D o w n t o w n & E a s t P i n e S t r e e t C o r r i d o r R e v i t a l i z a t i o n P l a n A m e n d m e n t ) Exhibit D Board of Commissioners board order will be attached for the second reading.

In August, staff presented a discussion to Council regarding recommended revisions to the city’s chronic nuisance ordinance. Council directed staff to proceed with significant revisions to the Chronic Nuisance Ordinance in order to provide greater flexibility to address properties that have multiple nuisance violations but fall outside the limited timeframe of the city’s existing code and to update, reorganize and streamline the process for addressing such chronic nuisance properties. In general, under the existing code a chronic nuisance could only be declared if the property was subject to two or more nuisance activities in a 30-day period. However, this prevented the city from proceeding against a chronic nuisance property which might, for example, have 5 nuisance activities within a year, but does not meet the strict 30-day period. Under the revised code language staff can consider properties with multiple nuisance activities over time frames defined at 30-days, 120-days, and 365-days. Additionally, staff recommended expanding the definition of a nuisance activity and to provide a clear process for how to address chronic nuisance properties which includes developing a chronic nuisance abatement plan. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: Not Applicable. 9.A Packet Pg. 95 LEGAL ANALYSIS: The city attorney reviewed the options with council, and has reviewed and approved the draft ordinance. COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS: Strategic Priority – Responsible Governance GOAL 5 - Continue to develop and foster the city’s community policing program. STRATEGY 1 – Build relationships with the community through interactions with local agencies, stakeholders, and members of the public, creating partnerships and programs for reducing crime and disorder. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider the proposed ordinance and move to approve. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve Ordinance No. _________, the Ordinance amending in part Central Point Municipal Code chapter 8.02 regarding chronic nuisance property and chapter 8.45 regarding public nuisance remedy.

Pursuant to CPMC, Chapter 1.01.040, the city Council, may from time to time make revisions to its municipal code which shall become part of the overall document and citation. B. The city has authority to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community and to abate violations of the Code which are declared to be a public nuisance either through fines, requiring the owner to abate the nuisance or abating the nuisance when the owner fails to do so. In addition, pursuant to the City’s Chronic Nuisance Ordinance, the city can address repeated nuisances, when abatement of a single nuisance is insufficient to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. C. Upon review, staff determined that significant amendments to the Chronic Nuisance Ordinance are recommended, in order to allow the city to address chronic nuisances in a more efficient manner, including the ability to address conditions or activities that create public nuisances over time, to clarify the process by which such nuisances may be brought by the city and/or challenged by the property owner, to better organize the code sections for easier review, and to clarify miscellaneous items in the code. D. Words lined through are to be deleted and words in bold are added. THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF CENTRAL POINT DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Chapter 8.02 of the Central Point Municipal Code is hereby amended to add section 8.02.000: 8.02.000 Intent and Purpose of Chronic Nuisance Ordinance. (1) By virtue of its authority to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the city has the power to abate a violation of the Code declared to be a public nuisance by imposing a fine on the owner of the property, requiring the owner to abate the nuisance, or abating the nuisance if the owner fails to do so. However, the abatement of a single nuisance is ineffective in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the community at large when conditions or activities related to the use of property give rise to a series of public nuisances over time. 9.A.a Packet Pg. 97 At t a c h m e n t : O r d i n a n c e A m e n d i n g C h 8 . 0 2 C h r o n i c N u i s a n c e P r o p e r t y f o r 2 n d R e a d i n g ( 1 5 9 2 : O r d i n a n c e A m e n d i n g C h r o n i c N u i s a n c e 2 – Ordinance No. __________; (Council Meeting _____________, 2022) (2) A process to hold property owners and other persons in charge of property accountable for adverse conditions and activities that repeatedly occur in connection with the property is needed to help maintain and improve the quality of life in the city.

The city council may, by resolution after affording the person in charge of the property an opportunity to be heard before the council, authorize the city attorney to commence legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin or abate chronic nuisance property and to seek closure, the imposition of civil penalties against any or all of the persons in charge thereof, and any such other relief deemed appropriate. Proof shall be by a preponderance of the evidence. A. If the person in charge fails to submit and implement a CNAP as required, or the approved CNAP does not result in the abatement of the chronic nuisance activity, the city manager may refer the matter to the city attorney to commence legal proceedings to seek closure of the property, the imposition of civil penalties, and any such other relief deemed appropriate. The action shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction, including the City of Central Point Municipal Court. The court may award attorney fees to the prevailing party. B.

B.D. If, after the commencement but prior to the trial of any action or suit brought by the city, a person in charge of chronic nuisance property stipulates with the city that he or she will pursue a course of action the parties agree will abate the nuisance activities giving rise to the violation, the city may agree to stay proceedings for a period of not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days, except in the case of nuisance activity involving drugs where a search warrant was executed at the property. The person in charge or the city may thereafter petition the court for such additional periods of time as may be necessary to complete the action(s) to abate the nuisance activities. However, in the event that the city reasonably believes the person in charge of a property is not diligently pursuing the action(s) necessary to abate the nuisance activities, the city may apply to the court for release from the stay and may seek such relief as is deemed appropriate. E. If the existence of the nuisance is established in the action, an order of abatement shall be entered as part of the judgment in the case. The order may contain any or all of the following remedies: 1. Order that the property be closed and secured against all access, use, and occupancy for a period of not less than six (6) months, nor more than one (1) year. The court shall retain jurisdiction during any period of closure.

The court shall not include provisions for the closing of the premises under the provisions of this subsection unless that relief is specifically requested in the complaint. 2. Impose a civil penalty of up to $250 per day for each day nuisance activities occurred on the property following notice. 3. Any other relief prayed for and deemed appropriate. F. A property shall no longer be determined to be a chronic nuisance property either after the passage of one year from the date of the last reported chronic nuisance activity or the date the chronic nuisance abatement plan was approved, whichever is later. G. The city shall have the initial burden of proof to show by a preponderance of the evidence that the property is a chronic nuisance property. C. H. It is an affirmative defense to an action for chronic nuisance property that the person in charge at all material times could not, in the exercise of reasonable care or diligence, determine that the property had become chronic nuisance property, or could not, in spite of the exercise of reasonable care and diligence, control the conduct leading to the determination that the property is chronic nuisance property. 9.A.a Packet Pg. 105 At t a c h m e n t : O r d i n a n c e A m e n d i n g C h 8 . 0 2 C h r o n i c N u i s a n c e P r o p e r t y f o r 2 n d R e a d i n g ( 1 5 9 2 : O r d i n a n c e A m e n d i n g C h r o n i c N u i s a n c e 10 – Ordinance No. __________; (Council Meeting _____________, 2022) D.

Whether the problem at the property was repeated or continuous; 4. The magnitude or gravity of the problem; 5. The cooperativeness of the person in charge with the city; 6. The cost of the city of investigating and correcting or attempting to correct the nuisance activities; and 7. Any other factor deemed by the court to be relevant. G.J. The provisions of this chapter 8.02 are separate and distinct remedies from those specified in Central Point Code chapters 8.01, and 8.03 through 8.45. Nothing in these provisions shall require any conviction for criminal activities prior to the commencement of any action provided herein. SECTION 7. Chapter 8.02.060 of the Central Point Municipal Code is hereby amended in part: 8.02.060 Enforcement—Costs and Attorney Fees. A.

Judgments imposed by this chapter shall bear interest at the rate of nine percent per year from the date the judgment is entered. D. Any person who is assessed the costs and disbursements and/or attorney fees under this chapter of physically securing the property by the court shall be personally liable for the payment thereof to the city. E. The person in charge shall pay reasonable relocation costs of a tenant as defined by ORS 90.100(31) as determined by the court if, without actual notice, the tenant moved into the property after either: 1.

Twenty-five mayors, representing cities of all sizes from around the state, studied Oregon’s homelessness crisis. And while the crisis may seem insurmountable, given that the symptoms and solutions look different between urban and rural communities and vary based on a city’s size, geography and available service providers, local government leaders have developed a solution to Oregon’s crisis of the unhoused. The OMA Homelessness Taskforce’s plan to humanely and timely address the homelessness crisis in Oregon is a partnership between the State of Oregon and its 241 cities. This partnership will allow for the establishment and expansion of local, community-based responses that provide immediate shelter, needed services, and secure safety for unhoused Oregonians. During the 2023 Legislative session, the OMA will propose two separate, yet parallel, budget proposals: (1) a budget package which provides direct allocation to cities for homelessness response and prevention services; and (2) a budget package that provides capital improvement funding for cities. 10.A Packet Pg. 109 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: With a $50,000 guarantee for all cities, and a $40.00 per resident multiplier in place, based on the April 19, 2022, PSU population estimates, the total amount requested would equal $123,575,800.00 annually. For cities located in Region 7, a $40 per resident allocation equates to an annual allocation of the dollar amounts denoted below: • Ashland - $862,160 • Central Point - $788,080 • Eagle Point - $394,160 • Gold Hill - $54,400 • Grants Pass - $1,579,000 • Jacksonville - $123,200 • Medford - $3,494,120 • Phoenix - $163,840 • Rogue River - $97,400 • Shady Cove - $123,800 • Talent - $229,480 LEGAL ANALYSIS: Not Applicable COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS: In the “what we learned during our process” section of the 2040 City of Central Point Strategic Plan, the following was offered: Overall, the feedback from the 2019 survey was optimistic about the City and the services it provides.

Twenty-five mayors, representing cities of all sizes from around the state, studied Oregon’s homelessness crisis. And while the crisis may seem insurmountable, given that the symptoms and solutions look different between urban and rural communities and vary based on a city’s size, geography and available service providers, local government leaders have developed a solution to Oregon’s crisis of the unhoused. The OMA Homelessness Taskforce’s plan to humanely and timely address the homelessness crisis in Oregon is a partnership between the State of Oregon and its 241 cities. This partnership will allow for the establishment and expansion of local, community-based responses that provide immediate shelter, needed services, and secure safety for unhoused Oregonians. During the 2023 Legislative session, the OMA will propose two separate, yet parallel, budget proposals: (1) a budget package which provides direct allocation to cities for homelessness response and prevention services; and (2) a budget package that provides capital improvement funding for cities. Direct Allocation A direct allocation of funding from the state to each incorporated city in Oregon for cities to use in their homelessness response and prevention services is being proposed by the OMA. • It is proposed that each city will be allocated funds in an amount equal to $40 per resident, in accordance with the latest official population estimates from Portland State University. • The proposal requires that in no instance will an incorporated city receive less than $50,000 in direct funding. • OMA’s proposal provides cities the ability to elect to use the funds for their own homelessness response and prevention services, or to redirect their funds to community partners who are required to use the funds for homelessness response and prevention services. 10.A.a Packet Pg. 112 At t a c h m e n t : R e g i o n 7 F i n a l ( 1 6 0 0 : O M A / L O C M e m o r a n d u m R e g a r d i n g P a r t n e r s h i p N e e d e d t o S o l v e S t a t e w i d e H o m e l e s s n e s s E m e r g e n c y ) OMA’s proposal states that funds must be used for homelessness response and prevention services, which may include: • Abatement/clean-up • Environmental mitigation • Affordable housing • Capital construction or improvement costs related to homelessness or affordable housing measures • Community resource officers • Education and outreach • Food bank assistance • Shelter and/or transitional housing • Hygiene stations • Operation costs • Outreach workers • Prevention With a $50,000 guarantee for all cities, and a $40.00 per resident multiplier in place, based on the April 19, 2022, PSU population estimates, the total amount requested would equal $123,575,800.00 annually. For cities located in Region 7, a $40 per resident allocation equates to an annual allocation of the dollar amounts denoted below: • Ashland - $862,160 • Butte Falls - $50,000 • Canyonville - $65,960 • Cave Junction - $85,960 • Central Point - $788,080 • Drain - $50,000 • Eagle Point - $394,160 • Elkton - $50,000 • Glendale - $50,000 • Gold Hill - $54,400 • Grants Pass - $1,579,000 • Jacksonville - $123,200 • Medford - $3,494,120 • Myrtle Creek - $140,040 • Oakland - $50,000 • Phoenix - $163,840 • Riddle - $50,000 • Rogue River - $97,400 • Roseburg - $948,040 • Shady Cove - $123,800 • Sutherlin - $356,360 • Talent - $229,480 • Winston - $228,000 • Yoncalla - $50,000 Capital Allocation In addition to the direct allocations, the Taskforce’s proposal requires a meaningful allocation from the State for coordinated capital construction investments for specific shelter and transitional housing projects, statewide. It is expected that a final dollar amount for needed capital construction investments will equal between $125 to $175 million. The OMA is seeking information from Oregon cities about any needs they may have for capital construction investments from the state in their local responses to addressing the homelessness crisis. Request for Support The OMA Homelessness Taskforce and the OMA Board of Directors seek the support of Oregon’s 241 cities for the above-described proposal. In an effort to present the legislature and Oregon’s next governor with a truly coordinated and collaborative proposal, the OMA hopes to submit its legislative request with as many city partners as possible. 10.A.a Packet Pg. 113 At t a c h m e n t : R e g i o n 7 F i n a l ( 1 6 0 0 : O M A / L O C M e m o r a n d u m R e g a r d i n g P a r t n e r s h i p N e e d e d t o S o l v e S t a t e w i d e H o m e l e s s n e s s E m e r g e n c y ) To explain the statewide nature of this crisis, the League of Oregon Cities (LOC), in partnership with the OMA, has secured the services of a communications specialist to work directly with cities interested in supporting the OMA proposal. The communications specialist will work directly with interested cities to develop a one-page document that outlines a city’s unique experience with homelessness, and how the funding proposed by the OMA would help the city respond to, or even prevent, homelessness in their community. Work performed by the consultant in support of the OMA proposal will be paid for by the LOC. Oregon’s mayors are leading the on-the-ground response on homelessness, and the prevention thereof, but cities cannot do so alone and need joint leadership from state government to support cities and our county partners. The OMA Taskforce has called on Oregon’s next governor and legislature to fund the services and housing needed to make an impact on Oregon’s homelessness crisis; the support of Region 7 cities will go a long way to expressing the importance and impact of this proposal. If your city is interested in supporting the proposal, please contact any of the LOC staff persons listed below as soon as possible, ideally cities wishing to provide support to the proposal should make contact no later than November 4th. • Patty Mulvihill, LOC Interim Executive Director – pmulvihill@orcities.org • Ariel Nelson, LOC Housing & Land Use Lobbyist – anelson@orcities.org • Angela Speier, Projects & Affiliates Manager – aspeier@orcities.org 10.A.a Packet Pg. 114 At t a c h m e n t : R e g i o n 7 F i n a l ( 1 6 0 0 : O M A / L O C M e m o r a n d u m R e g a r d i n g P a r t n e r s h i p N e e d e d t o S o l v e S t a t e w i d e H o m e l e s s n e s s E m e r g e n c y )
