HB 2465 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to notice requirements for public meetings. <br /> <br />Title: Requires at least 72 hours’ notice for conduct of public meetings, unless actual <br />emergency warrants less notice. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative GELSER; Representative DEMBROW (at the request of Penny York) <br />(Presession filed.) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2400.dir/hb2465.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Beth Forrest CS-CMO 01/18/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Passage of this bill would significantly reduce a governing body's ability to schedule <br />meetings that are time-sensitive - but perhaps not an emergency. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 01/17/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Increases notice requirement for special meeting of "governing body of a public body," <br />which includes not only Council but also city commissions and council committees, from <br />24 to 72 hours; allows emergency meeting on less notice only if three-fifths of members <br />agree. While more notice is generally better than less notice, the added burden here is <br />likely to interfere with accomplishing city business more than it adds to public awareness <br />of the meetings. Still, because almost all city meetings are regularly-scheduled ones, this <br />bill probable has little practical effect on us. "Neutral" would be okay. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2466 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to unsolicited facsimiles. <br /> <br />Title: Prohibits sending of unsolicited facsimiles to public bodies. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative GELSER; Representatives BARKER, DOHERTY, NATHANSON, <br />READ, J SMITH, TOMEI (at the request of Lisa Krause) (Presession filed.) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2400.dir/hb2466.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Beth Forrest CS-CMO 01/18/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: Passage of this bill would save public resources and would eliminate the need to retain <br />irrelevant documents as public records. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 01/20/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />
