The IGR Committee <br />reviews all bills and their associated staff recommendations and provides direction for each piece of <br />legislation introduced during the legislative session. <br /> <br />Any member of the IGR Committee may pull a bill off the IGR Bill Report for discussion. If a bill is not <br />pulled for discussion, the staff recommendation stands. If a bill is pulled for discussion, the IGR <br />Committee may keep or change the staff recommendation. Actions on which the IGR committee is not <br />unanimous must be brought before the full City Council for consideration. These bills must be addressed <br />by the full council in order to provide direction to staff in Salem. <br /> <br />The IGR Committee met on March 3 and March 9, 2011, to review staff recommendations on bills that <br />have been introduced in the state legislature. However, the IGR Committee vote on one bill was not <br />unanimous. Accordingly, the full council must provide direction before this bill can be lobbied in Salem. <br /> <br />The bill for which there was not a unanimous vote is listed below.Staff comments for the bill are listed <br />in the attached document. I have also attached a copy of the bill. <br /> <br />A motion needs to made to state the position for the bill listed below. <br /> <br />MARCH 3, 2011: <br /> <br />HB 3184: This bill would require public notices be published in newspapers, broadcast by radio or <br />television stations, or posted on websites maintained by statewide associations of stations <br />or broadcasters. <br /> Staff Recommendation: Priority 3 Support (By Jerry Lidz and Beth Forrest) <br /> IGR Committee Vote: Monitor (2/1, Poling, Taylor / Clark, No) <br /> (See page 4-5 of the March 3, IGR Bill Report for staff comments). <br /> <br />\\Cesrv500\cc support\CMO\2011 Council Agendas\M110314\S1103143.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
