Item 3: Ratification of Unanimous IGR Actions and Action on Non-Unanimous IGR Actions

repurchase rights can be included in the condemnation action. This bill appears to include the same repurchase provisions for property that did not go as far as to have had the actual condemnation action filed with the courts. The present law includes the repurchase value to go up at 7% per year above what the condemning agency paid. I can only recall one owner that was considering the repurchase from a condemnation in the early 90's, but after calculating the 7% per year determined it was not feasible. It is seldom the city would acquire and not use the property within 10 years. This bill is adding property by which a condemnation resolution or ordinance was first executed, but not yet filed in court. The majority of city acquisitions are willing sellers and does not involve a condemnation res or ord. As such it does not appear this would affect most city acquisitions.

Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Ethan Nelson PDD-BPS 2/9/2011 Pri 2 Oppose Comments: This would severely limit the City of Eugene and EWEB's ability to provide residents and businesses energy performance data on buildings. Much of the current research is focused on energy use in buildings and providing owners and renters with accurate data on the energy performance of the buildings (both residential and commercial). Without the ability to inform the consumer market on energy performance, the City will be severely limited in our ability to implement Building and Energy recommendations from the Climate and Energy Action Plan; additionally, this legislation would prohibit EWEB from advancing their conservation and efficiency projects which has continued to keep customer rates steady over the years. Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Babe O’Sullivan CS-CMO 2/14/2011 Pri 2 Oppose Comments: This bill hampers local government efforts to promote building audits and energy efficiency upgrades. Disclosure of energy scores is a good idea for increasing market demand for more energy efficiency buildings.
