Call to Order and Review Agenda Ms. Bettman called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (CCIGR) to order. She added a review of the draft of the CCIGR operating agreements to the agenda in place of Item 3, Approval of Minutes. 2. Review Pending Legislation HB 2735-A & SB 17-A Ms. Wilson reported that there would be a public hearing this afternoon and it looked as if the bill, which would provide statewide protections for manufactured home owners who are at risk of losing their home and investment, would be approved. Staff recommended supporting the measure with amendments that eliminate the provisions preempting cities’ local control for enacting a stronger ordinance. HB 3407-A Mr. Cushman said staff strongly supported this bill as amended. It would prohibit the release of private residence addresses of police officers and district attorneys from private property tax records. HB 3318-A This bill would re-designate special campus security officers within the Oregon University System as public safety officers, after receiving necessary training. Ms. Wilson reported that even though this bill was introduced prior to the shootings at Virginia Tech University, the University of Oregon had concerns about public safety officers having weapons on campus. She believed the UO still opposed this.
