Meeting Laws.
Pete Rise, 200 Oak; asked the Council not to spend money to conduct the Traffic Study and suggested

check to cover the costs for hanging banners for the organization.
Gary Fox, 1168 S. Water St.; addressed the Council. He said there is a group that just registered as a
disc golf alliance and the group would like to use the 40 acres of land previously donated by Larry Epping
for a disc golf course. He said a course can be incorporated with the natural landscaping and can be
changed to accommodate any future park plans. Community Development Director Jason Gottgetreu
said the land is designated as farm use, and suggested the Council could amend the Urban Growth
Boundary and annex the property into the City. Councilor Carter asked if the community group could
work to raise some of the funds for the course. Mr. Fox said they could. Councilor Hector asked if the
land would need to be designated solely for disc golf once it is installed. Mr. Fox said the land could be
used for other purposes. The Council directed Staff to bring back the issue for consideration in June.

The Chamber Mission
As the Chamber moves forward with our 2014-2015
year, we are proud of the accomplishments and
gains we have made. While our core elements of
Membership Development, Economic Development
and Tourism and Marketing guide our endeavors this
year we are committed more than ever to expand
our tourism market. Tourism is the one economic
development driver that has unlimited potential and
Silverton is blessed to have a number of elements
that strategically place us front and center in the
tourism market.
This year the focus moves to capitalizing on new
niche markets such as weddings, bicycle tourism,
recreation, wine enthusiasts and art lovers. Each of
these areas are unique and have a natural connection to Silverton. Our focus this year is to highlight
just how Silverton is special and noteworthy when in
comes to these areas.
ticipated in a bike group working on trails, safety and
promoting our area as Bike Friendly. We are looking
at various ways to promote the Silverton community
as a destination for these element and more.
We are convinced that once visitors experience
Silverton, they will come back. By focusing on marketing, we feel we can capture a bigger piece of the
tourism dollars spent in the region.
We have a renewed focus on bringing visitors to
Silverton and the surrounding areas for day trips and
especially overnight stays. Our bounty of attractions
and specialty shops are a treasure and they need
the influx of revenue that visitors bring.
We work to bring value to our community by recruiting and maintaining current businesses adding to the
tax base, fueling transient occupancy taxes for tourism dollars and working with partners to maximize
dollars invested in our community.
So far we have partnered with a group highlighting
all the services and attractions necessary to have a
destination wedding here in Silverton. We have par- We look forward to working with all of you!

Executive Director
Silverton Chamber of Commerce
The Silverton Chamber of Commerce and City of Silverton have enjoyed a mutually
beneficial relationship for many years now. The Chamber provides Visitor Center facilities and services and the City provides a much needed source of revenue for those services. With those funds we are able to serve as the front door or warm welcome for visitors and potential new residents to the community. These folks are looking for information on everything from dining and shopping to recreation, lodging and even relocation.
The Visitor Center is open Monday through Friday during the Winter months 9:00 to 5:00
p.m., and from Memorial Day to Labor Day we extend those hours to include Saturdays.
In the office we provide a number of local business brochures, flyers and special coupons. We have other community information as well, such as Church directories, cemetery lists with directions and list of community organizations and community calendars.
We have regional publications and brochures available for visitors as well. We have reciprocal agreements with most of these advertisers to display our materials in their visitor
centers in exchange for displaying theirs in our office.
The agreement between the City and Chamber states that we will:
1. Maintain regular open hours—Monday—Friday 9:00—5:00 and Saturdays During
the Summer.
2. Greet and assist visitors and residents, in person, via e-mail and by phone. This
year 10,227 people either called, stopped by or emailed the Chamber a question.
Which is a little lower than last year. On average we spend 6 minutes with each walk
in and 2 minutes with each phone call. Of those visitors, we had guests from 38
states (including Oregon), 23 countries and 6 Canadian provinces! Our top states for
visitors are Washington, California. Colorado and Texas were new this year to lead in
visitors. Our top for foreign visitors were British Columbia, Australia, New Zealand,
England, Germany and France.
3. Provide maps, community information, brochures and suggestions for visitors.
We distributed over 5,200 maps and countless numbers of verbal directions for guests
to town, in addition to directions, people are generally looking for info on local businesses, attractions and community feel. We’ve handed out thousands of local and
regional brochures, including our local walking tour brochure, hundreds of mural tour
maps, 1,260 restaurant brochures, 750 garden brochures, and hundreds of local business brochures. The number one requested brochure is the Silver Falls Trail Guide,
we estimate we’ve given out over 4,800 trail guides this past year. We had over 4,875
downloads of our Visitors Guide from our website.
4. Mail, e-mail or fax relocation, visitor or business information materials on request. In 2013 we mailed out 52 relocation packets (33 to other states, 1 to Canada
and 18 to Oregon). We sent out 109 visitor packets (57 to other states, 50 to cities in
Oregon and 1 to Australia and 1 to Canada). We now have our Visitors Guide in pdf
page turning form on our website and are working to add other “brochures” as well.
It’s hard to estimate how many “Visitor Packets or Relocation Packets” are picked up
by visitors who prefer to pull brochures from our racks on their own, but in estimation it
would at least triple these numbers. Our website has taken on a much larger tourism
information role. In 2008 53,772 guests visited the Silverton Chamber website,
www.silvertonchamber.org in 2009 that number jumped to 58,909 and in 2010 it
gained again with 63,244 visits. In 2011 the number rose to 71,760. 2012 brought
76,309 visits to the website and 2013 brought 76,443 visits. We continue to find
new ways to drive traffic to our website and to provide more information for visitors to
the site.
Our constantly evolving website with it’s coupon, job search and events components
has really made an impact in the number of “visits” we have on the site and the interaction with our members. Members are now taking an active role in promoting their
businesses to visitors to town!
5. Have available information on parks and recreation, local churches, schools,
hospital, demographic data, local festivals and events. We have created a number of local brochures, these include church directories, demographic info, events and
attractions and more. These are designed to provide info on the community and give
access to as much information for guests as possible. Genealogy is very popular
now, so our latest Cemetery directory brochure has been very helpful to visitors, it describes each cemetery and directions to it. We have info on the Silver Falls School
District in our Visitors Guide - it highlights school location, principal and size. We work
closely with Silverton Hospital as a resource when they are recruiting new staff and
also for new residents to town, educating them on the number of services the hospital
provides in town. We also now maintain a community calendar of events on our website. Anyone can submit a “community event” to be posted. The calendar is accessible to everyone on our website www.silvertonchamber.org.
6. Assemble a packet of Silverton Marketing Materials upon request. We make
these packets up as needed, because many times the need for them is specific, either
business relocation or start-up or relocation. We can tailor each packet to the needs
of our customer - for example we can include an up to date available property list, or
detailed list of upcoming events while someone is here visiting. There is a “Info Request” form on our website that allows visitors to check off all the areas that interest
them and email the request to us. We then can address the individual needs of each
request. We also work with community partners, like the City and SEDCOR to promote their resources for the community as well.
In 2013 we had 78 requests for business related community information off our
website “Info Request” link.
7. Notify hospitality businesses of major events and sports activities. The Chamber works very well with the larger lodging properties to coordinate when groups are
visiting and vice versa. The Resort, Silverton Inn & Suites and RV Park are all providing the Chamber with list of groups booking, so that we can pass the information
along to local merchants. The Chamber also coordinates local tours—both walking
and via vehicle, we serve as step on guides to tell of Silverton’s history and history of
the murals. We have also worked with local merchants to cater to these incoming
groups. The Garden has offered space at their events to promote downtown Silverton
as well as displaying materials.
The Chamber provides a Choose Silverton card for all convention attendees as well
as overnight guests at our lodging properties that direct visitors to the Visitor Center
and the “HOT DEALS” section of our website. This highlights not only the deals in
town, but gets folks to our website to see other attractions or events to keep them
here longer! We also meet with lodging “front desk” representatives to train them on
what there is to see and do in Silverton, overviews on local eateries and share local
resources for visitor needs like—batteries, cell phone charges, oil change locations,
tires, medical services, etc.
8. Participate in tourism group activities. We participate with the North Willamette
Valley Tourism Alliance, Woodburn Area Tourism, Willamette Valley Visitor Association and Travel Salem. Whenever possible we participate with regional partners to
market the area for the benefit of all. We worked with the Oregon Garden, Oregon
Garden Resort, Gordon House and Silver Falls State Park on signage issues. We
also worked with the Garden and Falls on a panel at Woodburn Company Stores.
As a tourism promotion activity, we have also hosted and conducted several Familiarization (FAM) Tours with member of the Woodburn Visitor Center staff, Travel Salem
staff, Oregon Tourism Center staff and media partners. Stacy is sitting on a “Tourism”
committee with the Oregon State Chamber.
9. Promote Silverton in publications. We continue to have one of the premier visitor
pieces in the valley our Silverton Visitor Guide. We put guides in the rooms at the resort and other lodging properties to encourage folks to visit downtown Silverton and
it’s surrounding attractions. In addition to the Visitors Guide we have our Map, relocation brochures, the North Willamette Valley Visitor Guide, the North Valley Regional
Event Calendar and a number of regional media placements.
We’ve expanded our online presence significantly through social media—facebook,
twitter, yelp and through email marketing with Constant Contact. Our events, “hot
deals” and special notices go out to over 1,000 different followers.
In 2013 we conducted a “Visitor Survey” on our website. The survey was designed as
a way to capture information from potential visitors for marketing purposes. Collecting
data on where visitors were finding out about Silverton and what their primary interests were. The survey had great response and we collected over 6,500 surveys.
These survey respondents as well as those that request visitor information off our
website are added to an email database and sent a “Visitor E-Blast” highlighting area
events, local businesses, attractions and even offering deals on restaurants. This
email is designed specifically to market to those individuals that have already shown
an interest in Silverton. Studies show that 3—5 contacts are necessary before visitors
make a decision for travel. We will continue to use this database to promote our community.
We have approximately 3,800 addresses that we market events to on a quarterly
basis.
10. Maintain a calendar of community events. On our website you can view or submit
events for the community to see. It’s a great feature of our website, that is accessible
for Chamber members and non-members. We also work with a number of community
events and festivals to make sure their events are listed and have the information that
folks are looking for. We share our event lists with groups like Silverton Together so
they can include events in their printed calendar. We place events on a number of
regional calendars, including the Travel Salem email calendar, KGW and various
event websites. We also utilize social media and email broadcast services like Constant Contact to keep locals and visitors alike, aware of our events.
We have a weekly email blast of these calendar submissions called “What’s Happening” that is sent to over 400 email addresses. In addition to getting this in your email
inbox, a condensed version is printed in two sizes each week thanks to our partners
the Appeal Tribune. The posters and 8.5 X 11” sizes are distributed at the Wednesday morning Silverton Business Group meetings for free or are available all week at
the Visitor Center for anyone to pick up.
11. Collaborate with groups to further develop regional attractions.
We continue our mission to utilize our resources effectively and efficiently. Whenever
possible we partner with local groups, attractions and event coordinators. We maintain trade show panels that local groups can use when promoting our area, they can
be checked out at the Chamber Office. The Oregon Garden, Seven Brides, Art Association and Silver Falls have utilized the panels to promote our area. We work collaboratively to maximize our dollars, but also to send a collective message about what
we offer for visitors in this area.
We also work with members of the various committees for community events, Homer
Davenport Community Festival, Old Stuff on Main, Silverton Poetry Festival, Silverton
Art Festival, Silverton Pet Parade, Silverton Wine & Jazz Festival, etc. to insure that
we are aware and support their activities whenever possible. We help by maintaining
a database of information on the current events to share with visitors and locals. We
work with several of the groups to secure donations and advertising. We are also
contributors and volunteers for several of the festivals, including providing information
materials or Info Booths at festivals.
12. Report to the City Annually. We are happy to share our activities with anyone who
shares our commitment and love of Silverton!

November 29 through December 22. These were individual travelers visiting Silverton from Portland, Lake
Oswego, Salem, Corvallis, Eugene, and from outside Oregon including Washington, Georgia, lllinois, Michigan,
Minnesota, British Columbia and Alberta.
ln addition, corporate groups came to enjoy the event, producing an additional 74 overnight stays, coming from
Kapstone Kraft Paperfrom Washington state (9 room nights), Weyerhaeuserfrom Lebanon (15 room nights)and
Mohr Solutions from Bend (50 room nights). Also, groups who usually hold their holiday party at the Resort with
no guest rooms, booked lodging for the first time because of Christmas in the Garden, resulting in an additional
28 overnight stays.
The total overnight stays generated at the Oregon Garden Resort, purely from Christmas in the Garden were
54L, and overall December 2013 occupancy increased 60% over December 20L2.
far for 2014, we have already booked 20 Christmas in the Garden overnight packages at the Oregon Garden

5) Project or Event Objectives: 15 Points
Describe how this project or event promotes tourism and economic development (directly and indirectly) in
Silverton.
This event promotes tourÍsm and economic development in Silverton, because it brings visitors to town during

more than 8 million people were exposed to the event and the city of Silverton, through live TV interviews and
commercials, radio spots, feature stories and ads in print and online outlets, social media, marketing collateral
and more. This event will bring families and individual travelers to the Silverton area, as well as additional large
groups, holiday parties and tour buses. ln2013, more than 72,700 people attended and 541. room nights were
generated; in 201.4 we expect about 15,874 people with the addition of three days, and at least 622 overnight
stays. ln addition, when the event sees heightened attendance on Friday and Saturday nights, we hire a shuttle
to run loops between The Oregon Garden and parking lots throughout town, which gives visitors the option to
park in Silverton and shop or eat at other businesses before or after visiting Christmas in the Garden.
6) Event Project/Budget: 15 Points
a) List all funding sources for the project.
Funding sources for the lights at Christmas in the Garden include sponsorships from private companies of

Intriguing opportunity. Hard to believe exposure numbers but don’t doubt them – look forward to seeing those
Would like to point out that the website is embarrassing – makes us look uneducated and having no technical skills. Do we really want
people looking at this website?
Tourism Promotion Committee Evaluations, May 19, 2014
Christmas in the Garden Good description of event, the targeted audience, and results of overnight stays.
Thorough explanation of existing event
Website is “mobile friendly”
Area 2:
PATSO –
Unproven and difficult to track. Will not let this stand in the way of supporting for a year though due to potential.
Does not specifically target off-season period.
Christmas in the Garden The event is during Christmas season, the normal off-season for tourist activity.
Area 3:
PATSO –
I find the use of Mr. Rasmussen’s quote on the website home page to be counterproductive to tourism. I expect to see a different approach
to encouraging potential visitors to take Silverton seriously. It’s self-promoting and assumes anatomy (as referred to in the quote) is
somehow a point of interest to potential visitors. It’s only my reservation.
I respect Stu’s and Victoria’s intelligence however, I do not support this “campaign”.
Area 4:
Christmas in the Garden Not specific enough.
Area 5:
PATSO –
Again, unproven and hard to track, but no doubts that this is the intent.
Again, I object to the use of this website to represent Silverton – by looking at the website we could be asking people no to come to
Silverton, ever!!
Christmas in the Garden –
Could do a better job of finding ways to get attendees to spend time in Silverton outside of the garden.
Area 6:
PATSO –
Very reasonable investment for potential return.
Unless the website is “cleaned up” I can’t advocate giving any money for the budgeted project.
Christmas in the Garden –
The budget is realistic.
There are sufficient in-kind labor and donations so the grant funds are not the primary funding source.

MEMO
DATE:
May 23, 2014
FROM:
Jason Gottgetreu, Community Development Director
TO:
City Council
RE:
Urban Growth Boundary Amendment
The City Council received testimony at the May 5th City Council meeting regarding the possible
development of a disc golf course on the 40 acre parcel of land under City ownership located along
Ike Mooney Road. The property was donated to the City by Larry Epping in 2009 for use as a park
and a Silverton Fire District Substation. The parcel is currently outside the City’s Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB). The property is currently zoned Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) and is under Marion
County jurisdiction. Public parks are allowed through the Conditional Use process on EFU land.
Establishing a park use on the property while it is outside the UGB would require the City to submit
a Conditional Use application to County for review and would have to comply with any conditions
of approval and SDC charges the County may impose. Adding the property to the UGB and City
Limits would place the property under City jurisdiction, and development of the park would be
under City review. Inclusion of the property inside the UGB and City Limits would be necessary for
full development of the property, which would include serving the property with water and sewer
service. While full development is not in the near future, inclusion of the property in the UGB now
provides the City more flexibility in developing interim uses on the site.
Development of the site with any interim use would require some type of on-site parking. The
logical location for on-site parking would be in the grassy field at the dogleg of Ike Mooney Road.
The cost of the parking area would be determined on size and material. The estimated cost for a 20
space gravel parking area is in the $16,000 - $20,000 range. Design of the disc golf course would
affect the cost of development and associated maintenance costs. Cost would be higher if there were
18 holes spread over the 40 acres versus a lower cost if the holes where grouped closed together.
An Urban Growth Boundary change may be initiated by the City Council when the change proposed
is in the public interest and of general interest. The initiation is done be resolution and is referred to
the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission would consider the matter in a Public Hearing
and make a recommendation to the City Council. If the City Council approves the boundary
amendment, it shall adopt it by resolution and forward it to the Marion County Board of
Commissioners along with a written request for the board to consider the boundary change and adopt
it. If the Marion County Board of Commissioners approves the boundary amendment, both the City
Council and Board of Commissioners shall adopt the change by ordinance.
The City would file a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Annexation Application and Zone Change
Application concurrently with the UGB Amendment. All these Land Use applications are required
to amend the UGB, annex the property into the City and apply the Public Overlay designation. All
these applications will have to be filed at some point for development of the site. Completing them
now provides the City flexibility in developing an interim use for the site prior to full build-out.

Approved By: Bob Willoughby
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Motion to have the first reading and pass proposed Ordinance No. 14-05.
BACKGROUND:
The Silverton Municipal Code (SMC) in section SMC 12.28.040 prohibits any display of merchandise
for sale on any city street or sidewalk. There are no exceptions and it does not allow the City Manager
to allow exceptions for sidewalk sales or special events. A complaint about a downtown merchant is
being processed at this time. The merchant’s response to the enforcement letter is that many other
downtown merchants display items on the sidewalk. He listed a number of other violations. The
City’s enforcement program is complaint driven. Once these violations are pointed out, Staff will
have to commence additional enforcement actions. Before this happens, the City Manager would like
a policy decision by the Council. Is the Council OK with keeping the zero tolerance for any
merchandise displays? If so, no action is necessary. The current Code prohibits any such displays. If
the Council believes that the current practice of a number of downtown merchants of displaying
merchandise outdoors is OK, the Council could have the first reading of the attached ordinance. The
Council could also amend the attached draft ordinance and have a first reading of the amended
ordinance. Staff believes the attached ordinance preserves the essential functions of the sidewalk
while at the same time allows a practice that many believe gives the downtown the appearance of a
vibrant and active retail district.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Motion to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Lori L. Coukoulis and A. Carl
Myers appointing them as pro tem judges for the City of Silverton.
BACKGROUND:
Jan Zyrynoff has been the Municipal Court Judge since 1991. The City contracts for her services
through the Marion County Justice Court. She may be changed to full time status with Marion
County and may have to resign as Silverton’s judge. If that happens, she has agreed to continue to
provide services until a new judge can be appointed. She will know her status in the next few weeks.
She is recommending that the Council appoint two pro tem judges at this time. A pro tem judge
serves at the request of the Municipal Court Judge whenever she is not available. If she does resign,
this will give the Council two choices from which to select her replacement from candidates that have
some experience as Silverton judges. If she doesn’t resign, it will give her two pro tem judges to
serve in her place whenever she is ill or on vacation. Attached as Attachment 1 is Judge Zyrynoff’s

Bob,
Attached are two resumes, that of Lori Coukoulis and A. Carl Myers. I recommend that both of these
attorneys be appointed a pro tem judges for the City of Silverton. Each individual I believe has the
skills to serve in this capacity. Carl Myers is the municipal judge in Keizer and Jefferson and has
practiced law in Salem for many years. He also is the lobbyist for the Municipal Judges Association
and for the Oregon Justice of the Peace Association. Lori Coukoulis has been both an associate
district attorney and a defense attorney in criminal cases for many years, she has been appointed as
municipal judge in Hubbard and in Aurora. She as served as prosecuting attorney in Hubbard
Municipal Court for more than 10 years.
I recommend that Silverton City Council appoint them both to serve as municipal judges pro tem.
