A1 Support <br />Comments: <br />SB 168 authorizes state agencies to construct and operate facilities for generation of <br />electricity and other power generation/sale mechanisms. The City should support this as <br />it allows state agencies to invest in renewable energy generation and sell any “Green <br />Tags” to a third party. <br />This policy will have the long term affect of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, push <br />state agencies toward energy independence, and levelize power costs over the long <br />term. <br />Locally, this would benefit the City and community by allowing large state owned facilities <br />to generate their own power, sell to local utilities and offset projected increases in local <br />utilities baseload; thereby reducing the need for generation investments by the utilities. <br />The legislation expands the current level of authority for some state agencies (such as <br />Oregon University System) to build/operate/sell power) to all state agencies. <br />SB 0192 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to historic property tax incentives; prescribing an effective date. <br />Title: <br />Creates historic property partial tax exemption. Requires property owners applying for <br />historic property partial tax exemptions to submit and implement historic preservation <br />plan for participating property. Establishes initial 15-year period of partial tax exemption <br />after which property owners continue to receive partial tax exemption at lower <br />percentage. Authorizes recertification for second period of partial tax exemption. <br />Permits application for participation in historic property partial tax exemption until July 1, <br />2025. <br /> Restricts second 15-year term of historic property special assessment to commercial <br />historic properties and to residential historic properties located in areas where governing <br />body has authorized second term for residential property. Reduces application fee for <br />participation in historic property special assessment program. <br /> Creates indeterminate period partial tax exemption for historic properties that have <br />completed at least one 15-year period partial tax exemption. <br /> Extends existing historic property special assessment program to July 1, 2025. <br />Sponsored by: Governor Theodore R.
