2; Staf~ requested support on two measures and suggested that two letters out- lining their position be mailed to legislators. The subcommittee approved support of H.B.203l which would require statewide registration of bicycles .' 21" or over. The subcommittee withheld their support of the proposal to de- leteSection 143 of S.B.l as that section prohibits police officers from conducting "frisk and search" operations of persons stopped for Class B, C, and D violations. A copy of the proposed letter with regard to deletion of S~ction 143 from S.B.l and that portion of the proposed code are attached for information in case the Council would like, this matter reconsidered. . 3. The subcommittee has considered several bills affecting various areas of personnel practices or labor relations. In order to take a consistent posi- tionon these matters and to give the staff time to respond, the subcommittee adopted the proposal to authorize the City Manager to represent the 'city in legislative discussions within the guidelines listed in the attached document. 4. The subcommittee also considered several bills referred to it by the Traffic Safety Commission and dealt with them as follows: H.B.200l - Requires motor vehicle operators to be re-examined for renewal of license with waiver provisions by MVD possible. Also ex- tends period from two to four years. Recommend approval. H.B.2002 - Expands examinations to include additional safety knowledge. Recommend approval. S.B.3 - This new provision allows juveniles under 15 years of age to be cited into juvenile court which would be able to impose fines, suspend, place limitations, and take other remedial action. The adult court shall have original jurisdiction over any proceeding involving motor vehicle offenses by children at least 15 years of age, but under 18. Recommend approval. S.B.123 - Requires installation and use of safety belts. Recommend opposition. e 5. Othe~ bills considered by the subcommittee were: S.B.499 - Authorizes Council to designate city planning commission to hear appeals from hearing officer on land use matters. Recommend approval of the concept as this allows the Council the option of having appeals heard by the Councilor Planning COnmUssion. It was felt, however, that it would be most appropriate to withhold action on this bill until the bill prepared by the staff and to be introduced by Representative Frohnmayer is considered. That bill would make substantial changes to ORS 227 far beyond that contained in S.B.499. S.B.582 - Limits attacks against validity of land use matters decided by any governmental representative to defects resulting in substantial injury, that are prejudicial in nature. Recommend approval. S.B.630 - Requires economic impact report for all zone and land use changes. Authorizes court challenge to accuracy of report; permits court to order revision of report. Recommend opposition as this bill would complicate land use decisions' without known benefits to any party. H.B.2509 - Prohibits use of power of eminent domain for acquisition of lands zoned for farm use for parks or recreational facilities or access thereto. Recommend opposition. e, 3/10/75 - 8 J /2
