Mr. Humphrey assured Council members that County Counsel and the City's attorney, Doug Engle, are familiar with the contents of the agreement.. The proposed IGA would a+so obligate the City of Central Point to make improvements to the Scenic Avenue railroad crossing and to reimburse the County for costs to eliminate the Seven Oaks crossing. A full signal at Scenic Avenue would improve safety at that location. In addition, the State is allowing the City to take in, by way of urban reserve areas, more property north of Scenic Avenue to facilitate these proposed improvements. Mr. Humphrey stated that the clause regarding appropriation of funding was intended to safeguard the County in the event that the City fails to come up with adequate funds for improvements to the Scenic intersection.

They have agreed to the new rates but have requested that they not be imposed on the Expo until July 1, 2010 so that they can budget for them..

B. Planning Manager Don Burt made a presentation on residential densities indicating higher densities as we move forward in the Regional Problem Solving process. Twin Creeks was used as an example of increased densities combined. with open space thus creating a positive environment. Mr. Humphrey explained that the RPS process is currently delayed in order to make some technical adjustments to the County's population projections. C.

A RESOLUTION INCREASING THE MEDFORD WATER COMMISSION WATER TREATMENT AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE Recitals 1. The City of Central Point purchases its municipal water from the Medford Water Commission, and collects a system development charge for water treatment and transmission. 2. This SDC helps fund improvements to the Medford Water Commission water treatment and delivery system. 3. Medford Water Commission has recently increased its water treatment and transmission SDC from $947.88 to $1,476.27 per equivalent meter unit, and the City is obligated to raise its SDC in turn, since the SDC is essentially a "pass-through" SDC to the Medford Water Commission. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Central Point, Oregon, that effective January 15, 2010, the Medford Water Commission water treatment and transmission system development charge collected by the City shall be increased from $947.88 to $1,476.27 per .equivalent meter unit.
