SB 0634 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to priority of land for inclusion within urban growth boundary. <br />Title: Modifies priority of land for inclusion within urban growth boundary. <br />Sponsored by: Senators TELFER, WALKER; Senators FERRIOLI, KRUSE <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0600.dir/sb0634.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Steve Nystrom Steve Nystrom PDD-ADM 3/18/2009 Pri 3 Yes YesIV. D5 Neutral <br />Comments: <br />State law currently requires that the first priority lands to be included in any UGB <br />expansion are those that have been formally identified as urban reserve areas. This bill <br />would add another priority: land that is zoned exclusive farm use and owned by the State <br />after being acquired from the federal government. While staff is not clear why such lands <br />should necessarily be given priority, this amendment would appear to have very limited <br />application. As such, staff recommends a neutral position. <br />SB 0635 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to financing for transportation projects; appropriating money; declaring an <br />emergency. <br />Title: <br />Authorizes issuance of lottery bonds for transportation projects for nonmotorized vehicles <br />and pedestrians. Establishes Nonmotorized Vehicle Transportation Fund and <br />continuously appropriates moneys in fund to Department of Transportation to finance <br />grants and loans to public bodies and private entities. Specifies uses of moneys. <br /> Declares emergency, effective July 1, 2009. <br />Sponsored by: Senators MONROE, ATKINSON; Senators BURDICK, MORSE, PROZANSKI, TELFER <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0600.dir/sb0635.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Lee Shoemaker PWE 3/4/2009 Pri 3 Yes YesIII. A Support <br />Comments: <br />There are limited opportunities to fund transportation capital projects for nonmotorized <br />vehicles and pedestrians. Most of our capacity enhancing bicycle projects come from <br />state and federal grants. Eugene has been very successful but we are only able to build <br />new bike projects every 2-3 years due to the limits on funding programs. The <br />Nonmotorized Vehicle Transportation Fund would not come from general funds. The <br />State may issue lottery bonds to finance grants and loans. <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Eric Jones Eric Jones PW-ADM 3/12/2009 Pri 3 Yes YesIII. A Support <br />Comments: <br />Identical to HB 2902 <br />Another noble transportation idea for lottery funding. As with all other bills that seek to <br />earmark this source of revenue, this reviewer recommends a monitor position to see the <br />full range of bills seeking this form of revenue and then determine whether to support a <br />competitive, merit-based process (e.g., ConnectOregon) or throw support to one or more <br />specific earmarks. <br />SB 0675 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to solar access. <br />Title: Requires governing bodies of counties and cities to adopt and implement solar access <br />protection ordinances. Establishes standards for solar access protection ordinances. <br />Sponsored by: Senator PROZANSKI (at the request of Robert Ball) <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0600.dir/sb0675.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />43 <br /> <br />
