Proposals for Investment of Funds from Sale of Cave Junction County Building

Background: Following announcement of decision by Josephine County Board of Commissioners for sale of

the County Building in Cave Junction, discussions began with Board Chair Simon Hare. In early November, herequested that recommendations from the Illinois Valley community to the Commissioners would be helpfulwith regard to how to spend the estimated net revenue of$ 310,000 from the recent sale of the CountyBuilding in Cave Junction. During the course of several focus group meetings, IVCDO convened stakeholders toexplore options and possible priorities for project recommendations. Those meetings included Commissioner

Hare, Mayor Daniel Dalegowski, the Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce, members of the Public Safety Task

Force, downtown business owners, Jeff Stiles, Cameron Camp, and Bill Reid, the Illinois Valley Family Coalition,and the Illinois Community Development Organization ( IVCanDO).

The draft proposal presented here reflect priorities articulated during those meetings. What was most

remarkable about this process was how quickly and strongly a working consensus emerged. Perhaps as aresult of the past two years of the process of developing and implementing the Illinois Valley 20/ 20Community Vision and Strategic Plan, the group had an immediate sense of the concerns of residents, and

a spirit of mutuality in meeting broadly held needs. It is important to note that commitment of the County

to these projects will allow requests for additional matching grant funds to be more successful.

The proposal includes the three major project areas: fire suppression at the IV Airport, broadband internet

development, and security improvements in downtown Cave Junction. A fourth recommendation is

contribution to signage branding on Redwood Hwy. 199.

IV Airport Fire Suppression System

Need: The lack of an adequate fire suppression system at Illinois Valley Airport Industrial Park has kept thesite ineligible for investment and development. The result is that needed economic development and business

projects cannot proceed.

Proposal: From discussions with County representatives, it is our understanding that Josephine County has

a long- standing commitment to address the necessary improvements to the fire suppression system at IV

Airport. This project is highly ranked in the IV 20/ 20 Community Strategic Plan and was largely supportedduring the group discussions.

Estimated Project Cost: $ 100,000-$ 140,000

Amount Recommended from Sale Revenue: $ 100, 000

1

Broadband and Fiber Optic Development

Need: Businesses in Cave Junction ( and Illinois Valley as a whole) are hindered by lack of internet connectivityand overall bandwidth capacity. This is a situation common to rural areas like ours that cannot support the

standard profit returns expected by large internet companies.

Proposal: Although the full scope of internet and broadband development across our area is clearly beyondthe reach of this proposal, this project need is well identified as a very high priority in the IV 20/ 20 CommunityStrategic Plan. This proposal seeks to link public and private investments to support the development of

broadband and fiber optic installations in key backbone sections that will provide affordable high- speedservices and lead to more rapid development initiatives throughout the entire Illinois Valley. Key areas

identified to fill gaps include East- West River St. and from Lister St. north to RCC Kerby Campus. Installationof fiber optic cable in the downtown Cave Junction corridor will free up and support far greater wireless

bandwidth to more rural and remote neighborhoods. This development is also an essential step to meet theproposed state and federal guidelines of 25 Mbps+ 3Mbps.

Estimated Project Cost: $ 140,000-$ 200,000

Amount Recommended from Sale Revenue:$ 80,000

Estimated Private Partner Commitments:$ 60,000

Downtown Lighting, Security, and Beautification

Need: Public Safety emerged repeatedly as the number one priority of the majority of residents during the

process of developing the IV 20/ 20 Strategic Plan. Security in downtown Cave Junction is a major concernof both business and residents. The recent business survey conducted by the Illinois Valley Chamber ofCommerce strongly demonstrated that business owners are concerned with security, curb appeal, andincreasing downtown foot traffic.

Proposal: To begin to address those needs, the group developed a three part plan designed as a public- privatecollaboration between City of Cave Junction, property owners, and community development partners.

1) Lighting improvement plan

Increased lighting for pedestrian safety and security of downtown business would expand the City' s currentstreetlight system and utilize low power LED bulbs in attractive, uniform fixtures, which minimize the

illumination of the night sky. Businesses would be invited to participate in the selection process and a group

purchase would be made into a coordinated contract for purchase and installation. The Illinois Valley Chamberof Commerce is well- positioned to assist the City in facilitating this project.

2) Upgrades in security cameras

Security cameras are often proposed as a tool for enforcement, but just as often, those images are of such

poor quality that they are not effective. This project would identify effective and affordable cameras, offer

a bulk purchasing opportunity, and assist business owners and law enforcement officials in positioning andinstalling the cameras for maximum utility. There has also been some discussion of live- streaming key camerasfor public monitoring.

3) Storefront beautification

Many business owners have expressed their desire to improve their store' s appearance but lack the capitaland confidence to make those improvements. A beautification initiative would include access to a low or

no interest loan fund for aesthetic improvements, as well as bulk purchasing of widely needed items. Thedowntown beautification team convened under the Strategic Plan would assist in providing volunteers where

necessary, and will coordinate with the Pollinator Plants team to install small storefront gardens and window

box plantings. Increasing general curb appeal, signage, and pedestrian enticements will benefit bothdowntown economics and the overall sense of welcome in Cave Junction.

Estimated Project Costs: $ 140, 000-$ 250,000

Amount Recommended from Sale Revenue: $ 105, 000

Estimated Private Partner Commitments:$ 20, 000

Estimated City Commitments:$ 20, 000

Historic Redwood Highway 199 Signage Project

Need: Signage and way finding is a well identified component for successful tourism and recreation business

sector. Redwood Hwy. 199 is the major corridor carrying at least 1. 5 million travelers through our area eachyear. The IV 20/ 20 Strategic Plan identified this project as an important part of tourism infrastructure.

Proposal: This signage project is an extension of the highly successful large wooden signs installed in 2016

along historic Caves Hwy. 46. This style is derived from 1930' s Conservation Corps and is authentic to our

region. Coordinated with US Forest Service, BLM, Oregon State Parks, City of Cave Junction, and otherpartners, this signage would present a consistent style at locations from the Oregon border to Hayes Hill. This

is a project that can be easily phased over time.

Estimated Project Costs: $ 50, 000-$ 150,000

Amount Recommended from Sale Revenue:$ 25, 000

Estimated Agency Partner Commitments:$ 15, 000

Estimated City Commitments: $2, 000Estimated Grant from Travel Oregon:$ 40, 000

Project Management and Administration

Need: In order for these projects to be successfully planned and implemented will require coordination

between Josephine County and City of Cave Junction, along with business property owners, agencies, andorganization stakeholders. Additionally, there will be need for each project have direct fiscal, contract,and operational management.

Proposal: The IV Airport Fire Suppression project is expected to be fully managed by Josephine CountyAirports. The other three projects for Broadband and Fiber Optic Development; Downtown Lighting, Security,and Beautification; and Historic Redwood Highway 199 Signage would require facilitation and project

management services that are likely outside the reasonable scope for county or city staff. The most practicaland cost effective means would be to utilize Illinois Valley Community Development Organization ( IVCanDO)

to facilitate the project partners, develop the scopes of work and contracts, confirm budgets and payments,then oversee completion of project work. Josephine County, City of Cave Junction, and project partners wouldapprove the scopes of work and contract expenditures prior to implementation.
