Call to Order and Review Agenda Ms. Bettman called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (CCIGR) to order. Ms. Wilson reported on two new bills that had had first readings the day before. ? SB 505 – Relating to claims for compensation for land use regulation under ORS 197.352 Ms. Wilson said that although the bill was dropped the previous day, there was a public hearing scheduled two days hence. Because of the short time interval, there were no staff recommendations or direction. She asked the members how they wished to handle a situation where there was not enough time to go through the normal process. Ms. Bettman asked if staff could summarize the bill for the members. Ms. Wilson said it had just been assigned that day, but that she (Ms. Wilson) could summarize it for the committee. Ms. Taylor said that past practice had been to go ahead if the committee members were aware of the bill. Mr. Pryor said that there should not be testimony on the bill unless there was unanimity about it within the committee or it had been vetted through the Council. Mayor Piercy said that if the Council had previously taken positions that had to do with the content of the bill, they did not have to take a position on the bill, but could share opinions about the content. Ms. Wilson explained that the bill was essentially an extension of time on the handling of Measure 37 claims because there was not enough time under the current law to administer all of the claims. The compromise reached was June 30 or sine die, whichever came first. She said there was a fast track for claims for single family homes and property needing to be divided; it did not stop any lawsuits filed. Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Pryor, moved to support SB 505. The motion passed unani- mously, 3:0. MINUTES—Council Committee on Intergovernmental February 6, 2007 Page 1 Relations
