SB 0414 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to county funding; declaring an emergency. <br />Title: Increases amount of highway funds distributed to counties. <br />Applies to biennia beginning on or after July 1, 2009. <br />Declares emergency, effective on passage. <br />Sponsored by: Senator GIROD <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0400.dir/sb0414.intro.pdf <br />RespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Contact <br />Eric Jones Eric Jones PW-ADM 2/4/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesIII. A Oppose <br />Comments: <br />I agree with Larry Hill's analysis. This is contrary to the principles of city-county-state <br />coordination. By reslicing the pie to increase only the county share of State Highway <br />Trust Fund Allocations, cities do not benefit (particularly in light of county revenue <br />problems that have eliminated all county road fund revenue sharing with the cities in <br />Lane County). Presumably ODOT would see less money. As Larry Hill notes, the relating <br />clause is very restrictive and would likely prevent any amendments designed to increase <br />cities' share of SHTF allocations. What is the LOC position on this bill (and what is the <br />AOC position)? The better model for state-county-city revenue sharing is contained in <br />the Transportation Vision Committee's Report to the Governor (Nov 2008, pg 18). <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Larry Hill Larry Hill CS-FIN 2/3/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesIII. A1 Oppose <br />Comments: <br />SB 414 as introduced would increase by more than one third the share of the State <br />Highway Trust Fund that goes to counties, from 24.38% to 34.38%, but would leave <br />cities' share unchanged at 15.57%. I recomend that SB 414 be opposed because it <br />cannot be amended, due to a restrictive relating clause, to provide a proportionate <br />increase in cities' share, from 15.57% to 20.76%. A better alternative to SB 414 would be <br />to increase the motor vehicle fuel tax to generate more revenue to benefit state, counties <br />and cities alike. <br />SB 0420 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to electric assisted bicycles. <br />Title: Alters definition of 'electric assisted bicycle.' Requires that electric assisted bicycle be <br />equipped with horn and lighting equipment. <br />Sponsored by: Senator GIROD <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0400.dir/sb0420.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Lee Shoemaker Lee Shoemaker PWE 2/10/2009 Pri 3 Yes YesV. C7 Oppose <br />Comments: <br />814.405 Status of electric assisted bicycle. An electric assisted bicycle shall be <br />considered a bicycle, rather than a motor vehicle, for purposes of the Oregon Vehicle <br />Code, except when otherwise specifically provided by statute. [1997 c.400 §4]. This bill <br />would require horns and lights appropriate for motorcycles and mopeds and increase the <br />speed allowed from 20 to 35 mph. This legislation will allow electric assisted bicycles to <br />operate more like a motorcycle or moped on bikeways. <br />Electric assisted bicycles are allowed in bike lanes and bike paths in Oregon and on off- <br />street paths in Eugene if operated by human power. Using horns may startle pedestrians <br />and bicyclists and cause crashes. Motorcycle lights are not appropriate on paths. <br />Bicycle bells and bike lights are more approriate. <br />Increasing the speed allowed from 20-35 mph is not appropriate for off-street paths or <br />bike lanes and conflicts between pedestrians and bicyclists will increase. <br />13 <br /> <br />
