Purpose and Compliance. The purpose of this policy is as follows: (a) ensure that all requests for public records are handled in a manner that complies with the Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311 - 192.431, as amended; (b) provide reasonable measures to protect and preserve the integrity of the public records; and (c) maintain efficiency and order. To the extent this policy conflicts with any federal, state, and/or local laws, regulations, and/or ordinances, City of Shady Cove (“City”) will comply with the applicable federal, state, and/or local laws, regulations, and/or ordinances. 2. Public Records Requests - Procedure. 2.1 Method of Records Requests. A request for public records that are in the custody of City must be made by submitting a written request, on the form prescribed by City, to the following: City of Shady Cove 22451 Highway 62, Shady Cove, Oregon 97539 Email: mparry@shadycove.org A public records request may be submitted in person, via mail, facsimile, or electronic mail. 2.2 Specificity of Records Request. All requests for public records must be dated and signed by the person (the “Requester”) requesting to inspect the public records or receive a copy of the public records. In addition, to facilitate the public’s access to public records in City’s possession, and to avoid unnecessary expenditure of City’s personnel time, a request to inspect public records or receive copies of public records must contain the following minimum information: (a) the Requester’s name and address; (b) the Requester’s telephone number or other contact information; and (c) a sufficiently detailed description of the public records requested, including the dates, subject matter, and such other information concerning the requested public records as may be necessary to enable City personnel to search for and readily locate the desired public records. 2.3 City Response. 2.3.1 Subject to and except as otherwise provided under this policy or applicable law, if City receives a written request to inspect or receive a copy of a public record in accordance with this policy and applicable law, City will, within five business days after receiving the public records request, acknowledge receipt of the request or complete City’s response to the request. City’s acknowledgment will (a) confirm that City is the custodian of the requested record, (b) inform the Requester that City is not the custodian of the requested record, or (c) notify the Requester that City is uncertain whether City is the custodian of the requested record. For purposes of this policy, the term “business day” means a day other than Saturday, Sunday, and/or a legal holiday. 2.3.2 City may request additional information or clarification from the Requester to expedite City’s response to the request. If City requests additional information or clarification, City’s obligation to further complete its response to the request is suspended until the Requester provides the requested information or clarification or affirmatively declines to provide that information or clarification. City will close the subject request if the Requester fails to respond within 60 days to City’s request for additional information or clarification. 2.3.3 City will provide the Requester an estimate of the fees applicable to making the public records available for inspection or providing copies. City will also advise the Requester that the requested public records will not be released (i.e., City’s obligation to provide the requested records is suspended) unless and until City receives payment of the estimated fees for providing the service. City will close the subject request if the Requester fails to pay the fees within 60 days after the date on which City informed the Requester of the fees, or fails to pay the fee within 60 days after the date on which City informed the Requester of the denial of the fee waiver (if applicable). City’s failure to advise the Requester of the prepayment obligation will not relieve the Requester of the obligation to pay applicable fees. 2.4 Completion of Records Request. City will complete its response to a properly completed written records request as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay. To this end, as soon as reasonably 1 – HIGHLANDS SUBDIVISION WATER DISTRCIT– PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST POLICY 10/10/2025 {2301885002-01819526;1} Page Cove City of Shady 40 of 51 - October 16, 2025, City Council Agenda and Page 2 Packet of 5 4919-1818-6071, v. 3 08/29/2025 possible, but no later than 10 business days after the date by which City is required to acknowledge receipt of the request under Section 2.3.1, City will (a) complete its response to the public records request, or (b) provide a written statement that City is still processing the request and a reasonable estimated date by which City expects to complete its response based on information then-available. Notwithstanding anything contained in this policy to the contrary, the time periods established under Section 2.3.1 and/or this Section 2.4 do not apply if compliance is impracticable because (x) staff or volunteers necessary to complete the response are unavailable, (y) compliance will demonstrably impede City’s ability to perform other necessary services, and/or (z) the volume of public records requests being simultaneously processed by City. If City is unable to comply with the time periods established under Section 2.3.1 and/or this Section 2.4 for a reason identified under this Section 2.4, City will, as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay, acknowledge the public records request and complete the response to the request. 2.5 City Legal Counsel. In general, routine public records requests will be handled by the City recorder or the recorder’s designee. More complex public records requests and/or public records requests that may implicate the application of one or more statutory exemptions from disclosure will be submitted to City’s legal counsel for review and evaluation. After reviewing and evaluating the public records request, City’s legal counsel will (a) make a determination as to whether the public records request may be processed, and (b) inform City whether to process the public records request. If legal counsel determines that City is unable to process the requested public records, City will provide the Requester a written response identifying the basis for the denial. 2.6 Access to Public Records. City will permit inspection and examination of its non-exempt public records during regular business hours in City’s offices, or such other locations as City may reasonably designate from time to time. Copies of non-exempt public records maintained in machine readable or electronic form will be furnished, if available, in the form requested. If not available in the form requested, such public records will be made available in the form in which they are maintained. City is not required to engage in any of the following activities: (a) create any new public records and/or customize any existing public records in response to a public records request; (b) produce “lists” of public records that are not already available in the form of a “list”; (c) create a public record to disclose the reasoning behind City’s actions or other knowledge City personnel may have; and/or (d) explain or answer questions or provide legal research and analysis on or about any public records. 2.7 Public Records Request Form. A request for public records must be made by submitting a written request to City on the form prescribed by City. The public records request form will be made available to the public. City may make modifications to the public records request form at any time and from time to time as City deems necessary or appropriate. 2.8 Certified Copies. Certified copies of non-exempt public records will be furnished upon request and receipt of payment therefor. 3. Fee Schedule. 3.1 Fees for Public Records. To recover City’s actual cost for responding to public records requests, City adopts the fee schedule attached hereto as Schedule 3.1. 3.2 Fees Exceeding $25.00. City will not charge a Requester a fee for making the public records requested available for inspection, or for providing copies of the same, in excess of $25.00 unless City first provides the Requester written notification of the estimated amount of the fees and the Requester confirms that the Requester wants the public body to proceed with making the public records available. 3.3 Advance Payment of Fees. All estimated fees for making the public records requested available for inspection, or for providing copies of the same, must be paid before the public records will be made available. If City’s estimated fees exceed the actual cost, the overpayment will be refunded by City to the Requester.

RH2 completed a review of the drainage system at Hannah’s Ridge Development that has reported flooding issues since 2024. RH2 had no involvement in the original development review or construction; therefore, relied on the documented history and records to establish an understanding. RH2 reviewed the past timelines, engineering work completed by the developer, construction by the contractor and/or homeowners, and information provided by the City. RH2 is providing observation analysis and potential solutions to mitigate the current problem. Scope of Analysis Work completed by the developer, engineer, and contractor was reviewed. RH2 formulated a background scenario utilizing information supplied by the City via e-mails, planning and engineering documents, maps, satellite imagery, site visits, and previous efforts to contain the stormwater by the City engineer. Original stormwater calculations were analyzed to verify that original engineering calculations correctly identified stormwater conveyance and that those analyses were approved by the previous City engineer. Existing site conditions documented how the site progressively changed due to the stormwater. RH2’s analysis of the issues is based on the above-mentioned sources. Original site conditions, continual erosion, and varied efforts to quell the water is not available. The recommendations for improvement will be based on the available resources.

The design criteria for the analysis was based on the 2019 City of Shady Cove building and planning standards. Rogue highlighted the stormwater requirements in the in the analysis which included the requirement to convey a 10-year storm event and provide adequate overflow for a 25-year storm event. To meet the requirements onsite catch basins, pipes, and a detention pond were designed. The scope of this report will focus on the offsite flows coming onto the site, and flows conveyed through the public infrastructure portion of the site. Summary of Proposed Drainage System The storm drain analysis calculates the capacity of the existing culvert under Schoolhouse Lane was designed to convey a 25-year storm event runoff. This culvert existed in the area prior to the development. Rogue calculates the offsite drainage into two distinct areas; Area A and Area B, shown in Figure 1. The two areas are 34.8 acres (A) and 28.7 acres (B), respectively. The storm drain analysis identifies that Area B drains toward Hannah’s Ridge. The Area A drainage path utilizes the existing Schoolhouse Road right-of-way and existing culvert. Figure 1 Off-Site Drainage Basin Map for Schoolhouse Lane Culvert The drainage pattern depicted is consistent with the conditions viewed in Figure 2, an aerial photograph from Google Earth, dated May 2016. At the time of the storm drainage analysis, conditions in the photo depict an assumed standard pattern for the stormwater course. 4/8/2025 2:45 PM \\corp.rh2.com\projects\Project\Data\SDCV\_GenInfo\Shady Cove Stormwater Analysis\Report\Hannah's Ridge Drainage Analysis Report.docx 10/10/2025 Page 47 of 51 - October 16, 2025, City Council Agenda and Packet City of Shady Cove April 8, 2025 Hannah’s Ridge Drainage Analysis Page 3 RH2 completed drainage calculations based on the Rogue Valley Stormwater Design Manual and calculated flow volumes consistent with calculations performed by Rogue for the drainage areas shown in Figure 1. Figure 2, Google Earth Photo dated May 2016 Review of further historical photos and on-site conditions shows changes in the stormwater conveyance. Upon several site visits, RH2 staff observed water flowing from Area A no longer flowed down the Schoolhouse Road right-of-way and was now flowing overland to Hannah’s Ridge. The noticeable impacts from flowing water seemed recent and not historical in nature. The channels were shallow and undefined, unlike historical flow patterns. From the May 2016 photo, it can be observed that water used to flow down the Schoolhouse Road right-of-way which was consist with the drainage study conducted by Rogue. Figure 3 depicts ground disturbance and the modified stormwater flow pattern. No documentation exists identifying the source of the modifications to the historical stormwater flow. The modifications substantially increased the stormwater volume conveyed toward Hannah’s Ridge facilities. The constructed infrastructure is incapable of handling the volume of stormwater now conveyed to the area. Flooding issues now exist due to the modifications. Flow calculations completed by RH2 utilizing current information shows similar flow volumes by those utilized by Rogue. The modifications created the drainage issues at this location. RH2 recommends that the stormwater flows be reinstated to the original flow patterns along School House Road rights-of-way to minimize erosion and potential flooding. 4/8/2025 2:45 PM \\corp.rh2.com\projects\Project\Data\SDCV\_GenInfo\Shady Cove Stormwater Analysis\Report\Hannah's Ridge Drainage Analysis Report.docx 10/10/2025 Page 48 of 51 - October 16, 2025, City Council Agenda and Packet City of Shady Cove April 8, 2025 Hannah’s Ridge Drainage Analysis Page 4 Figure 3, Google Map Aerial Photo dated October 2022 It should also be noted that review of previous historical photos depicts the stormwater drainage pattern has been modified several times over the years by assumed private parties. This area has not been modified by City forces, yet the storm water conveyance has been diverted on several occasions presumably by individuals downhill in an attempt to divert the stormwater from their respective properties. Photos show that prior to 2016 the stormwater flowed down the north side of the School House Road right-of-way and was diverted to flow down the south side. Onsite Drainage Changes During investigation of the existing conditions of the site improvements it was noted that the existing conditions seem to be inconsistent with the original design shown on the approved development plans for the subdivision. Past aerial photography in Figure 4, dated October 2020 shows stormwater improvements originally constructed are consistent with the design plans with the exception of the southern rock lined swale which was not constructed in the proper location as shown on the plans. The cross section of the swale and construction methods appeared to be consistent with the design plans. The current condition of the drainage swale is unacceptable and requires reconstruction to be consistent with the approved design plans to avoid future erosion. Reconstruction of the drainage swale needs to be completed prior to the next rainy season to avoid further erosion compounding the problem. It should also be noted that grading changes have occurred on the north boundary of the development that will cause the water to flow in different directions than originally designed. Currently, there are no reported issues in this area. It should be noted that these modifications have been made and may cause future impacts. 4/8/2025 2:45 PM \\corp.rh2.com\projects\Project\Data\SDCV\_GenInfo\Shady Cove Stormwater Analysis\Report\Hannah's Ridge Drainage Analysis Report.docx 10/10/2025 Page 49 of 51 - October 16, 2025, City Council Agenda and Packet City of Shady Cove April 8, 2025 Hannah’s Ridge Drainage Analysis Page 5 RH2 did not review any stormwater infrastructure associated with the development itself. All existing infrastructure associated with the development and Hannah’s Way are privately owned and maintained and are not the responsibility of the City. Figure 4, Google Map Aerial Photo Dated October 2022 Conclusion and Recommendations Summary of Findings In conclusion, the engineer designed offsite stormwater drainage system correctly. The previous City Engineer completed adequate reviews and approved the work as planned and constructed. The contributing factors that created the flooding incidents in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 stormwater season were a direct result of offsite modifications. These modifications were not presented to the City for approval. These changes redirected drainage to an area incapable of handling the stormwater flows and overwhelmed the existing facilities which were not designed to convey the resulting higher volume of stormwater. The volume of stormwater currently conveyed through the existing facilities is more than double the designed conveyance. Recommended Actions Remediation will include: 1. Reestablishing the ditch across the School House Road where it was filled. To be completed by the City. The City will also complete additional design and construction of 4/8/2025 2:45 PM \\corp.rh2.com\projects\Project\Data\SDCV\_GenInfo\Shady Cove Stormwater Analysis\Report\Hannah's Ridge Drainage Analysis Report.docx 10/10/2025 Page 50 of 51 - October 16, 2025, City Council Agenda and Packet City of Shady Cove April 8, 2025 Hannah’s Ridge Drainage Analysis Page 6 an improved swale that conveys water down the south side of the School House Road right of way after funding is secured. 2. The contractor/property owner are obliged to restore the drainage on the south end of 117 Hannah’s Way back to original configuration with respect to the designed cross section and lining. Cost should be at the expense of the contractor/homeowner. Monitoring and follow-up After the modifications are complete, the City will perform site visits to ensure the recommended modifications provided herein have been completed and correctly installed prior winter. Continual monitoring is recommended to ensure site conditions remain stable and that installed repairs are adequately working. 4/8/2025 2:45 PM \\corp.rh2.com\projects\Project\Data\SDCV\_GenInfo\Shady Cove Stormwater Analysis\Report\Hannah's Ridge Drainage Analysis Report.docx 10/10/2025 Page 51 of 51 - October 16, 2025, City Council Agenda and Packet
