These areas are specific to the play equipment areas, memorials, and the spray park. Council Member Ellie George did not feel it proper to punish all dogs because of a few irresponsible dog owners in regards to the spray park. Ms. Boardman explained that this is a tool for the Police Department to help enforce common sense rules. When owners have pets in the spray park area that may be affecting the enjoyment of others the officers will have the tools to remove the problem. There have been times in the past when the spray park has been closed because dogs have defecated in it.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS Assistant City Manager Chris Clayton reported that: • The Mayor has received a letter from the Chairman from the Historic Cemetery Commission. He is asking if the City is looking into taking over the maintenance of the Cemetery. The current owners have received the money for the restoration from last year’s vandalism but have not done all the restoration. The City should not get involved until the restorations have been completed. We are still in contact with the property owners trying to get more information on the maintenance and records. We are waiting for this issue to be resolved before we move forward. • Coming to the Council next month will be an IGA with the Medford Water Commission in regards to a conservation study grant. • There will be a Study Session in May regarding public contracting changes and Mrs. Robson will be asking for an Executive Session in regards to the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Dated: _________________________ Mayor Hank Williams ATTEST: __________________________ City Recorder CAP051012 Page 8 1 STAFF REPORT To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Jon D. Zeliff, Chief of Police SUBJECT: PEACE OFFICERS MEMORIAL DAY AND NATIONAL POLICE WEEK 2012 Date: May 10th, 2012 Summary: Each year, between 140 and 160 Police Officers are killed in the line of duty in the United States. Thousands more are injured, and many are often left permanently disabled. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls, as National Police Week. This proclamation sets aside a day “in honor of those law enforcement officers who, through their courageous deeds, have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their community or have become disabled in the performance of their duty.” Peace Officers Memorial Day is part of National Police Week, a time to “reflect upon the sacrifices our fellow citizens make to serve their communities and recognize the service of those who hold the public trust,” by honoring their fallen comrades across the nation. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve a proclamation designating Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and Sunday, May 13th through Saturday, May 19th 2012 as National Police Week in the City of Central Point.

I FURTHER call upon all citizens of the City of Central Point to observe Tuesday, May 15th, 2012, as PEACE OFFICERS’ MEMORIAL DAY in honor of those valiant peace officers who, through their courageous deeds, have made the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives or have become disabled in the performance of their solemn duty.

A. Consideration of Comprehensive Plan (map) and Municipal Code Zoning (map) Amendments from C-N, Neighborhood Commercial to M-1, Light Industrial on Table Rock Road - File No. 12011. The Amendment was initiated by the City Council to make land use and zoning along Table Rock Road more consistent with Jackson County and City of Medford designations and to create incentive for new businesses to annex and/or relocate to Central Point. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and fielded questions by a property owner who still maintains a home in the affected area. The legal non-conforming status of their home would not change with the proposed amendment. The proposal in general is supported by state and local agencies and there were no adverse impacts identified by them or by other property owners in the area. The Commission recommended approval of the Amendment to the City Council. CAP051012 Page 52
