HB 2608 <br /> <br />Mr. Nystrom said that the City had been doing what was called for in the bill for years and were notifying <br />more residents of land use decisions than the bill called for. The bill raised the minimum threshold and did <br />not preempt what the City was now doing. Ms. Bettman had no objection to the staff recommendation. <br /> <br />HB 2527 <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman asked why the City was monitoring rather than supporting the bill. Ms. Summers said it was <br />because some of the text in the bill was undefined and staff was unclear as to what hearings were in <br />question. It would add to the Public Meetings Law and staff wanted to monitor the bill and then request <br />clarifying amendments if necessary. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman supported the bill because she could think of many things the bill would cover. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor also supported the bill. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of the bill to Priority 3, <br />Support. The motion passed unanimously, 3:0. <br /> <br />SB 250 <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Pryor, moved to drop the bill from consideration. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman did not see a connection between the bill and the City. <br /> <br />The motion passed, 2:1; Ms. Taylor voting no. <br /> <br />SB 308 <br /> <br />Mr. Lidz said the bill would dispense with the requirement that the County consent to road annexation. The <br />bill came out of an annexation in Beaverton where a street was annexed and the annexation was challenged <br />and LUBA ruled that the county’s consent should have been secured. A third party rather than the county <br />had contested the annexation. The committee accepted the staff recommendation of Neutral. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Pryor, moved that the CCIGR adopt all recommendations for <br />the bills under question, excluding the bills related to collective bargaining and personnel. <br /> <br /> <br />5. Approval of Minutes—February 6, 2007 <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to approve the minutes of February 6, 2007. <br />The motion passed unanimously, 3:0. <br /> <br /> <br />6.
