Comments: I concur with Jerry's comments. OLCC is not obligated at this point to consider local input. They often do, but it's through the partnership, not mandated. As long as the partnership works, this is unnecessary. Not a great idea to rely on relationships when the impact of these decisions is critical to local agencies, local economy and local environment. Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 1/13/2011 Pri 2 Support Comments: This bill gives additional "teeth" to a local government’s negative recommendation on an application for a new OLCC license or a renewal. Existing law says the OLCC "may" consider the local government's recommendation; this bill says "shall." In addition, as long as the local government's reason for opposing the license are consistent with OLCC's criteria for denying a license, the commission must deny the license unless it is satisfied with the applicant's response and four out of five commissioners vote to grant the license. Sum: gives cities more influence over OLCC licensing decisions.

We recently made progress, working through Lane County Health & Human Services to revise Lane County Code Chapter 18 to come into alignment with 2002 changes to the Oregon Administrative Rules so that in addition to emergent transports, non-emergent and inter-facility ambulance transports are regulated by the ASA holder(s) [in our case, Eugene Fire & EMS and Springfield Fire & Life Safety] (see 11
