the original fee for appeals of Hearings Official decisions, subdivisions and partitions. <br />However, Neighborhood organizations pay 25%. Other appeals are capped at $250, while <br />Neighborhood Organizations are not charged any fee. Our experience has been that these <br />appeal fees do not cover actual staff costs. Pros of Bill: Would lower costs for applicants <br />and the general public who wish to appeal decisions Cons of Bill: Would take away city's <br />ability to set appropriate appeal fees. Would increase the financial burden on the city to <br />cover costs to administer appeal requests. Unintended consequences: The Bill appears to <br />be aimed at making it more financially attractive for the neighborhoods/general public to <br />appeal local decisions. However, this Bill would also apply to applicants. Historically, we <br />have seen a fairly equal number of appeals filed by applicants as neighborhood groups <br />and the general public. Under Eugene's current system, this Bill would provide a greater <br />benefit to applicants than the general public, given the reduced fees already established <br />for neighborhood groups. In addition, we would expect to see an increase in appeals, <br />given the reduced fees. <br /> <br /> <br />SB 0476 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to exception to land use goals; amending ORS 197.732. <br /> <br />Title: Authorizes local government to adopt exception to statewide land use goal without <br />demonstrating <br />that statutory standards for exception have been met for use that is necessary for <br />employer of <br />10 or more employees under specified circumstance. Requires employer in Willamette <br />Valley seeking exception to provide green-collar jobs at family wage. Requires employer <br />outside Willamette Valley seeking exception to provide family wage.

Although this bill is directed at land outside of <br />UGB's, it could potentially effect Eugene's efforts to locate similar jobs within its UGB. <br />Based on discussion with the League of Oregon Cities, it's unclear if this bill will actually <br />proceed. LOC will monitor this bill. Staff similarly recommends the bill be monitored at <br />this time. <br /> <br /> <br />SB 0513 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to local government publication of notice; amending ORS 294.311, 294.401, <br />294.915, 294.920 and 455.210. <br /> <br />Title: Provides for publication of notice by posting on home page of unit of local government’s <br />Internet <br />30 <br /> <br /> <br />
