    Recycle Rights Poster

    Marion County is hitting the reset button on its popular curbside recycling program. This means residents won’t be able to recycle some plastics and other items after March 5. The reset is due to the global recycling crisis caused by China’s crackdown on imported recyclable materials.

    Opioids, including prescription painkillers, have become real weapons of mass destruction. Without immediate and bold action, Oregon will soon experience greater devastation to life and family.

    Group picture of the community

    Woodburn Police Chief Jim Ferraris honored 16 individuals at Monday’s Woodburn City Council meeting. Eight sworn officers and eight civilians were awarded medals and certificates of appreciation from the chief for a variety of lifesaving and community-minded efforts.

    July 1 was the start of the City’s new fiscal year. Often, with the start of the new budget year, I get questions about the City’s money, where it goes and why can’t we “just fix” certain things. In past blogs, I have covered how the budget works, the role of the City Council and Citizen Budget Committee, and how dedicated funds and Woodburn’s General Fund works.

    Charges for water, as set by City Ordinance, are based on consumption amounts. Minimum charges are based on the size of the service line from main to meter, and entitle the user to a set quantity.

    Residential sewer rates are a set fee per month, based on the winter average of water consumption. Commercial sewer rates entitle the user to a set quantity of water. Like the water charges, an additional fee is charged for sewer, based on water consumed above the minimum quantity allowed per month.

    The Woodburn Police Department has two School Resource Officers assigned to work within the Woodburn School District and are supervised within the Community Response Division.  The SRO’s work closely with school staff and students to provide a safe environment so that they can achieve their education goals.  Each SRO is selected through a competitive interview process and attends the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) certification course.  SRO’s work to create positive relationships and role-modeling while working in the schools.  SRO’s often provide educational prese

    The Code Enforcement Unit is staffed by two Community Service Officers (CSO’s) who are supervised within the Community Response Division.   CSO’s respond to thousands of calls for service ranging from animal complaints, graffiti abatement, tall grass, junked vehicles, parking, signs, garbage and other Woodburn ordinance violations.  CSO’s also participate in community wide education events to include the annual

    The Evidence Unit consists of one full time and one part time evidence technician.  The evidence unit is responsible for logging, accepting, and entering all evidence, prisoner property and found property taken in by department personnel.  The evidence technicians transport evidence to the Oregon State Police Crime Unit, when warranted.  The evidence technicians facilitate release of evidence for investigatory purposes, to the courts for prosecution and to the legal owner of property when appropriate.

    The Records Unit consists of three full time records clerks. The Records Unit accepts, processes, distributes and maintains all police records.  The unit is responsible for compiling all records, distributing copies to prosecuting agencies and other law enforcement, or related agencies.  The records unit processes all public record requests for police records. They manage stolen property and missing person entries in the state and national databases; any court orders for expunction or sealing of records; and the retention of police records.

    Neighborhood Watch Program

     

    The Neighborhood Watch Program is the cornerstone of all crime prevention programs. It enlists the active participation of citizens, in cooperation with law enforcement, to reduce burglaries and other neighborhood crimes. Its primary purpose is the protection of property - yours and your neighbors.

    In 2017, the Woodburn Police Department partnered with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, the Salem Police Department and the Marion County Health and Human Services Department in the formation of a Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT).  This program is grant funded through the Oregon Health Authority.

    The Woodburn Police Department implemented a K-9 program in 2002.  The department currently has two K-9 officer/dog teams that work in the Operations Division.  Our K-9 officers receive specialized training in handling and caring for a police K9.

    Canines have a tremendous value to our community.  Given their keen sense of smell, they are able to locate people who have committed serious crimes that a police officer otherwise may not find. 

    The officers and sergeants assigned to Patrol Services respond emergency and non-emergency calls for service, 24 hours per day, 7 days per seek. 18 police officers and four sergeants divided into four teams make up this unit and are committed to providing excellent customer service. Patrol teams work 12 hour shifts from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm on day shift and from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am on night shift.

    Motor Unit Big Banner

    Purpose 

    The Purpose of the Video Surveillance Registration Program is to provide the community with a means to assist the City of Woodburn Police Department in preventing and fighting crime. The program allows residents and businesses to register the locations of their exterior video surveillance systems with the Woodburn Police Department so that when a crime occurs, police will be able to identify the locations of nearby video cameras easily and efficiently.

      The City of Woodburn requests proposals, from qualified firms or individuals, for furnishing professional services to execute a comprehensive all-hazards physical and cyber security risk and resiliency assessment of all City of Woodburn water system assets. The intent is to maintain compliance with §2013 of America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018.

      Annexation, Subdivision at 1251 Brown Street; Taxlot 051W18C000900

      5 lots including 3 flag lots accessed by shared access driveway with easement.

      Variance application to allow for Lots 2 & 3 measurement of lot depth to be measured from shared access driveway (north-south) instead of relative to Brown Street (east-west).

      2023 Sewer Rate
      Winter averaging months are here! Conserve water now to obtain your best possible residential sewer rate for 2024.

      Residential sewer rates are recalculated every year based on a customer’s average water consumption during the “Service Periods” for January, February and March.  We call this a “winter average,” and it is your fixed sewer rate for the rest of the year.  This means that the sewer portion of a customer’s bill will not increase in the summer months due to sprinkling, car washing and filling of swimming pools. 

      Sealed bids for the Sixth Street Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project will be received by the City of Woodburn, OR at City Hall Annex, 190 Garfield St. until 2:00 PM, Thursday, January 14, 2021 and will thereafter be publicly opened and read.

      On November 23, 2020, the Woodburn City Council adopted a Utility Services Ordinance and Fee Resolution, which became effective on January 1, 2021.  The new program requires companies providing communications, electricity, natural gas or owning facilities that are not subject to a current franchise agreement to obtain a license in order to provision services throughout the community.

Sadly, most of these trees were not expected to survive. Additionally, in some areas, tree roots have been displacing the pavers and creating trip hazards for pedestrians.

      In 1957, Woodburn received a classic 1902-built steam locomotive through a donation by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The SP 1785 and Frank Scheer have become synonymous in the railroad and rail fan community. Frank has done a masterful job of restoring the locomotive using Southern Pacific Company erection shop drawings and other source information to ensure it looks exactly as if she had been released from the SP’s Sacramento Shops in 1955. Every detail has been meticulously restored or rebuilt.

      fence
      This page is a guide, outlining the development standards and other considerations for constructing a fence or free-standing wall on private property.
        General Rules for Fences & Walls:
      • A Fence Permit is required for any new or modified fence or wall.
      • Fences and walls must not encroach into the public right-of-way. The curb or sidewalk are usually not the right-of-way boundary therefore it is important to determine the location of your property lines prior to constructing a fence. 
      The City regulates signs first by what group they fall into: temporary or permanent. There are many types of signs in each group (pole, monument, banner, A-frame, etc.). The allowance for each type of sign will vary based on the zoning district. Every new sign needs an approved Sign Permit.  
      shed
      Garages, Sheds, & Other Accessory Structures for Residentially-Zoned Properties Accessory structures are detached from the primary structure (a house, typically). Regulations for accessory structures are summarized below. Refer to Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO) 2.02 for the regulations of the applicable zoning district, 2.05 if an overlay district is relevant, and 2.06 that is specific to accessory structures. 
      ADU

      An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or "ADU" (also commonly referred to as an accessory apartment, mother-in-law suite, or granny flat), is a secondary dwelling unit constructed on the same property as a single-family detached house. An ADU can be within the house, attached to the house, or detached from the house. Outlined below is a summary of the development requirements for an ADU.

        We all have been shocked and angered by today's video of the brutal assault of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, which resulted in the arrest of five Memphis police officers, now charged with murder. There is no greater betrayal than being hurt by those we rely on to protect us. Our concerns and prayers go out to the families and communities affected by this tragic and unacceptable abuse of authority by law enforcement officers. I know that members of the Woodburn community will be deeply affected by the Memphis events.

        Friday, January 27, 2023

        This evening, the video of the encounter between Memphis Police Officers and Tyre Nichols was released. Understandably, this incident has reignited nationwide concerns about the relationship between the police and the communities they serve. It is not lost on us that today's news impacts our local community or that this is not the first time we have had such instances occur in our nation.

        Image above courtesy of Opticos Design, Inc.:  Missing Middle Housing

        Comprehensive Plan

        The Woodburn Comprehensive Plan is the controlling land use document for the City and its Urban Growth Boundary (UGB).  From a land use perspective, the comprehensive plan is like a state or federal constitution: it provides the legal framework and long-term vision for implementing plans and land use regulations.

        View the Comprehensive Plan land use map via the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Web App.

        This is an ordinance that amended the Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO) relating to food carts (Legislative Amendment LA 24-02).

        Picture of watershed
        A watershed is the area—land and water defined by the hilltops and ridges where rain falls and runs to a common water body. Water,
        sediments, and other dissolved material in a watershed drain to a common body of water such as a lake, river, or stream.   Everything that happens in a watershed affects water quality:
        • Motor oil dumped down a storm drain
        • Pesticides and fertilizers from farmlands
        • Withdrawals of water for municipal and farm uses
        • Sediments from construction projects
