referencing the FY2022-2023 audit meeting the December deadline for state submissions.
Clarification: the FY2022-2023 will meet the December 2025 state
submission, because this reflects the adjusted timeline for submission of the
delayed audit. While the original statutory deadline was December 2023, the
state allows for late filings, making December 2025 the applicable deadline
under our current circumstances.

08/29/2025
1. 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

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. If City’s

CITY ADMINISTRATOR PRESENTATION
ACTION PLAN FOR CAPITAL REPLACEMENT AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
HANNAH WAY & SCHOOLHOUSE STORM DRAIN WATER REDIRECTION
City’s Financial Position as of June 30, 2024
• Capital Replacement (05): $95,947 available.
• Capital Purchase Reserve (06): $150,000 available.
• Capital Improvement Fund (07): $91,840 available.
The city has liquidity in capital and streets-related funds.
FUNDING STRATEGY OPTIONS
Option A: Internal Reallocation (Most Immediate)
• Transfer $75,000 from Capital Replacement and Capital Improvement Funds combined.
o Example: $40,000 from Capital Replacement ($95,947) and $35,000 from Capital
Improvement ($91,840).
• Both are intended for infrastructure and drainage improvements aligned with capital asset
preservation.
• This avoids borrowing and positions the city to start construction immediately.
Option B: State & Federal Grants
• Small City Allotment (SCA) – Opens March/April 2026, up to $250,000 for streets and drainage
(ODOT). Not immediate, but strong candidate for reimbursement and/or phase 2 improvements.
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) – Oregon Business Development Department
funds small cities for basic infrastructure. Shady Cove qualifies based on population and need.
• Wait for Thriving Communities $75,000 Grant Awards on September 2, 2025.

Action Plan for Consideration
Step 1 – Immediate Funding Source
Adopt a council resolution reallocating $75,000 from Capital Replacement and Capital Improvement
funds for storm drainage. This gives certainty and control.
Step 2 – Reimbursement Strategy (Winter 2025/26):
Apply for ODOT Small City Allotment ($250,000) in spring 2026 to reimburse or expand the project. Also
submit a CDBG application for stormwater infrastructure.
� Bottom Line: The city can move forward immediately by reallocating capital funds, while pursuing
reimbursement and expansion funding from ODOT and CDBG 2025/2026.

RESOLUTION NO. 25-16
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE REALLOCATION OF FUNDS FROM THE CAPITAL REPLACEMENT FUND AND THE
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND TO ADDRESS STORM DRAINAGE NEEDS AND DIRECTING STAFF TO PURSUE STATE
FUNDING TO EXPAND IMPROVEMENTS.
WHEREAS, the City of Shady Cove has identified a critical need to address storm drainage and water redirection in
the Hannah Way subdivision in order to reduce flooding risks, protect public safety, and preserve municipal
infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, adequate drainage improvements are essential to maintaining safe roadway conditions, preventing
stormwater infiltration into sewer systems, and ensuring the long-term resilience of the City’s transportation
network; and
WHEREAS, the City of Shady Cove Capital Replacement Fund currently holds sufficient balance to support
immediate infrastructure needs, and the Capital Improvement Fund likewise maintains reserves dedicated to public
works improvements; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City to reallocate a portion of these capital reserves to initiate and
complete the Hannah Way storm drain and water redirection project during Fiscal Year 2025–26; and
WHEREAS, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) administers the Small City Allotment (SCA) grant
program, which provides up to $250,000 annually to small Oregon cities for road and drainage improvements, and
the City intends to apply in April 2026 to seek reimbursement and to expand the scope of improvements; and
WHEREAS, the proposed expansion project would extend beyond the initial storm drain redirection swale to
include improvements along Schoolhouse Road, beginning at the water redirection swale and extending to the
road right-of-way adjacent to the elementary school parking lot, thereby enhancing public safety for
schoolchildren, residents, and visitors.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHADY COVE, OREGON:
1. The City Council hereby authorizes the reallocation of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) from the
Capital Replacement Fund and the Capital Improvement Fund in a manner determined by the City
Administrator to best preserve financial stability while ensuring adequate funding for the Hannah Way
storm drain and water redirection project.
2. City staff are directed to proceed with project design, permitting, and construction activities necessary to
complete the storm drainage improvements during the 2025–2026 fiscal year.
3. City staff are further directed to prepare and apply to the Oregon Department of Transportation Small City
Allotment (SCA) program in April 2026 for the purpose of seeking reimbursement of eligible costs and
expanding the project to include improvements on Schoolhouse Road from the stormwater swale to the
right-of-way adjoining the elementary school parking lot.
4. The City Administrator is authorized to take all actions necessary to implement this resolution, including
budget adjustments, contracting, and coordination with state and regional partners.
