2. ROLL CALL Mayor Brian Asher-Present Councilor Tom Heitmanek-Absent Councilor John Berard-Present Councilor Tara Weidman-Present Councilor Mercedes Rhoden-Feely-Present

3. AFFIRMATIONS Planning Commission Chair Joseph Schaefer praised the job that City Recorder W. Scott Jorgensen has done with handling legislative matters pertaining to the airport and building official issues. Jorgensen’s affirmation was that his newborn daughter is now crawling. Councilor John Berard said that the coronavirus scare prompted him to question how clean the city’s bathrooms are. He was pleased to report that they are clean. Public Works Superintendent Mark Gunter praised his employees, Mark Basargin and Jacob Johnson, for the work they’ve been doing.

6. CORRESPONDENCE

a) Marion County Ehlen Road Traffic Engineering Jorgensen explained that based on citizen input, Marion County is looking to add a speed sign near the intersection of Kahle Lane and Ehlen Road.

7. NEW BUSINESS a) Appointment of Wendy Veliz to the Planning Commission

Asher said that the Planning Commission recommended the appointment. Councilor Mercedes Rhoden-Feely moved to approve the appointment. That motion was seconded by Weidman and adopted unanimously.

b) Appointment of Ruthie Magnus to the Historic Review Board Weidman moved to approve the appointment. That motion was seconded by Rhoden-Feely and adopted unanimously.

c) Parks Committee Recommendation on Marion County Community Prosperity Initiative Funding Jorgensen explained the committee’s recommendation for a study by environmental consultant Allan Whiting to be conducted on the city owned Aurora Mills property. The study could be used to leverage grant funding. Marion County Economic Development Coordinator Jason Schneider described the initiative. The county has contracts with its cities to provide $45,000 over the next three years. Cities are required to tell the county how the funds were used and meet with economic development officials once a year. Marion County Commissioner Kevin Cameron said a board used to evaluate grant applications, but the county changed its approach. This is a great program and it gives the county data.

8. OLD BUSINESS a) Granite Terms of Service

Asher moved to table the matter for six months so the city can get feedback from other cities that are using the service.

b) Discussion and/or Action on Spending Priorities for Marion County Community Prosperity Initiative Funding Jorgensen said that the council approved $5,000 in park improvement funds to fix the access area for the Aurora Mills property. The city received a bid for around $13,000 for the work. Asher said he would like to see an electronic vehicle charging station in town. Bill Graupp said the funds could be used as matching dollars for improvements on the south side of Highway 99. Berard said the city has a request in to ODOT for crosswalk enhancements for 99 and Ottaway, to create a crosswalk at 99 and Bob’s Avenue and to consolidate the crosswalks at 99 and Main and Second. The state also had a settlement of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) lawsuit that requires improvements to ramps. Gunter said it would be around $6,000 to $8,000 to fix each ramp. Schneider said another city is using the funds to improve ADA accessibility at

its city hall. Schaefer said that bringing the airport into the city involves long-term planning and it will take effort. Money is in the city’s current budget for an economic opportunities analysis. That will cost around $50,000 and the city has put $10,000 towards it. An additional $10,000 to $15,000 would get the city halfway there. Rhoden-Feely said she likes all the ideas that have been discussed. A charging station would be good. She likes the idea of spending some funds on the city’s urban growth boundary expansion. Gunter suggested that new renderings of city hall could be done. Weidman agreed. Graupp said that a new city hall would be good branding for the city. Berard said he would like to see the funds used for traffic and safety improvements like signs. Asher asked Gunter how much signs cost. Gunter said it depends on the kind of signs. Some are just a couple hundred dollars. Graupp said radar signs are around $6,000. Asher said that when the speed trailer was put out, 95 percent of drivers were under the 25 mile per hour limit. Weidman agreed that the trailer was effective. Cameron said the funds can be used for matching grants. During a recent trip to Washington D.C. to lobby for funding for the second phase of the I-5 Donald/Aurora interchange project, the $29 million in existing funding helped. Berard said he wants the funds to be spent on something citizens can see, like traffic improvements or a charging station. Rhoden-Feely said she would support city hall drawings. Jorgensen asked how much those would cost. Asher said at least $6,000. He’s supportive of spending $7,000 to $8,000 on it. He asked Schaefer if the city owns any of the islands in town or if they are all owned by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Schaefer said ODOT has a wide right of way. Not all of ODOT’s surveys are recorded. The Oregon Department of Aviation has requested a business plan for the potential annexation of the airport into the city. Some of the funds could be spent on that. Asher asked about the cost. Schaefer said he wasn’t sure. Berard moved to spend $7500 on plans for city hall, under the condition that in-kind funds and time, grants and donations are still sought. That motion was seconded by Rhoden-Feely and adopted unanimously. Gunter suggested that an advisory committee be put together so citizens can have input and buy-in. Asher tabled the discussion on the rest of the funds to the next meeting.

9. PUBLIC HEARING-N/A

10. ORDINANCES, RESOLUTIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS a) Ordinance 489—An Ordinance Amending Title 16.22 of the Aurora Municipal Code

Kendrick had a suggested wording change under section D 6 of the proposed new section of code. The words “biomass” and “of any kind” should be added.

11. REPORTS a) Public Safety b) Marion County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Don Parise said he was filling in at the meeting

c) Finance Officer d) Public Works

Rhoden-Feely asked about the proposed paving project at the Aurora Mills site. Gunter said the plan is to bring the gravel in at a different slope. The $13,000 figure was one contractor’s bid, but expects any others would be similar. Berard asked if the city could solicit another bid. Gunter said that under state procurement laws, the city has to get three. He can do that if the council wants him to move forward. Berard asked if the city is serious about the project. Rhoden-Feely suggested that the matter be referred back to parks committee. Perhaps the committee would recommend that the $5,000 in park improvement funds go towards the environmental analysis, which could be used to put together a plan and draw grant funds.

e) City Attorney Kendrick said she did some work on the city’s LUBA appeal and a marijuana business licensing issue.

f) City Recorder Jorgensen said he attended a Rural Tourism Studio meeting at Woodburn City Hall and presented a letter of support from the city. A letter of support was also sent for the county’s grant application for the second phase of funding for the I-5 Donald/Aurora interchange project. He attended the Mid-Willamette Valley Council of Governments award banquet in Keizer and met with Gunter, a contractor and the neighbor of the Mills property about the driveway improvements. Parks Committee directed him to look at having Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) around town. He discussed it with Gunter, Ovchinnikov and Aurora Fire District Chief Josh Williams. Finance Officer Mary Lambert told him there was a line item in the budget for emergency equipment that could be used for AEDs. Parks Committee originally thought about having them in the city’s parks, but one could be kept with Ovchinnikov and public works could have another. He also worked to fill the vacant positions on the Planning Commission and Historic Review Board. Asher asked about his Certified Municipal Clerk certification. Jorgensen said he’s on track to have it issued around March 22.

g) Airport Schaefer said he should be hearing from LUBA soon about the records objections that have been filed in the city’s case. Stewart said he had hoped for a trolley to bring guests from the airport’s August 1 fly-in to town, but heard that the airport contracted to have a shuttle go from the airport to Canby.

h) Planning Jorgensen said that the Planning Commission is considering adding prohibitions on liquor stores and adult entertainment establishments in the historic district.

i) Community Outreach Rhoden-Feely said the North Marion SIT team has received $2325 in donations, including one from the city.

j) Community Preparedness Weidman said the next meeting was scheduled for March 19 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Pythian Hall.

m) Colony Days Asher said the next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 12 at 7 p.m. at city hall. A sign is up at the store to solicit volunteers. There are discussions about having some events along Liberty Street and Second Street instead of having everything at the park. Weidman said most of the bands have been booked.

Scope of Services,

Whiting Environmental LLC

Aurora Mills Wetland Enhancement

Current Project Understanding City of Aurora is collaborating with local partners to assess the wetland enhancement potential of Aurora Mills Park. Site experiences regular flooding that sustain surrounding wetlands around Mill Creek corridor. While initially considered a constraint to development on the site, an improved understanding of these hydrologic patterns can be used to achieve area vision. Master plan documents provide an overall vision for the site that balances recreational values and wetland habitat function. The scope of services below provides City staff, parks committee, and area watershed council with information useful for assessing site conditions while serving as a resource for early project implementation and proposal writing. This includes identification of site constraints and opportunities that are useful to wetland restoration potential of the area as well as future recreational needs.

Task 1: Collate existing information Information will be inventoried relevant to understanding the existing condition of wetland. This includes information relevant to localized flooding, topographic control, and historic information. Information compiled will be the basis for products articulated in Tasks 2 and 3 below. Task 2: Restoration planning goals and objectives The contractor will engage project partners in reviewing goals defined in Master Plan relevant to wetland restoration. It will provide the project with the vision to move forward with additional partnerships and funding proposals. Task 3: Existing site condition Field investigations will be conducted on the site and surrounding area that help define site constraints and opportunities useful for understanding the feasibility of future wetland enhancement concepts. This includes surrounding land use, mill site condition, utilities, etc. Topographic information will also be collected to confirm property boundaries with private landowners. It will also serve to provide insight into local flooding and linkages to current wetland conditions. Summary base maps will be produced as a foundation for future enhancement concept development with project partners. Budget: $5,000 Schedule: April 15th-September 30th, 2020

Report from the Recorder April 14, 2020

Mayor Asher and Members of the Council, The big emphasis this month has been to maintain the continuity of the city’s operations in light of recent global events. Efforts have been made to keep the public informed of everything that is happening through the city’s website and Facebook page. We’ve kept city hall open for its regular business hours and have provided the same level of customer service as usual, uninterrupted. This has been important for helping to move various development projects throughout the city along and towards completion. Two of the three buildings at the industrial property on Ottaway now have certificates of occupancy. Work is being done to finalize the third. Building permits have been issued for the Aurora Architectural Salvage project. The Peyton Circle and Portland Electrical Construction Inc projects are getting very close to that point. I’ve been working with City Planner Renata Wakeley on a couple of proposed projects; a coffee cart and an expansion of Portland Laser Engraving, both located at 21028 Highway 99E. Renata has also been working lot partitions for 20978 and 21200 Highway 99E for possible future residential developments. Parks Committee was able to have its March 17 meeting, with appropriate social distancing measures taken. However, out of an abundance of caution, we did cancel the March 26 Historic Review Board meeting. On March 15, I hit my two-year mark of working for the city. Monday, March 23, I was informed that I earned my Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) designation through the International Institute of Municipal Clerks. I’ve also been working with staff at the League of Oregon Cities to obtain my Local Government Management certificate. Lastly, I did a risk management best practices survey Tuesday, March 24 via telephone with a representative of CIS’ underwriting division. Respectfully Submitted, W. Scott Jorgensen, Executive MPA City Recorder
