In <br />addition, there is a request by the members of the IGR Committee for a full council discussion on one <br />bill. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />As a matter of procedure, the City Council is routinely asked to ratify the actions taken by the <br />Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) Committee. This is done by submitting the minutes of each <br />committee meeting to the council. <br /> <br />Actions on which the committee is not unanimous are brought before the full council for consideration. <br />In this set of meeting minutes there were two bills which did not receive unanimous support; HB 2134 <br />and SB 250, both of which were reviewed at the February 22, 2007, IGR meeting. These bills must also <br />be addressed by the full council in order to provide direction to staff in Salem. <br /> <br />The bills are listed below. <br />HB 2134: <br /> Expands permissible bases for interception of wire, electronic or oral <br />communications.
