In terms of direct impact to the City of Eugene, some road repair projects are done at nights (e.g., portions of Coburg Road this summer). If the bill prevented or was amended to prevent gravel or asphalt trucks from traveling from a gravel yard or asphalt plant to the job site at night, this would create significant issues for us. The bill's sponsors are local, so it is likely that there is intent to implement this legislation in our area. See Paul Klope's analysis for other potential local impacts. Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Paul Klope PWE 2/15/2011 Pri 2 Oppose Comments: This bill prohibits trucking from and to gravel mining sites on roads through urban unincorporated areas between the hours of 7 pm and 6 am. If passed, this law would have significant impact on the ability to perform City capital projects. Work is done in the evening and at night on projects around the City to enable completion of work in a timely manner and to avoid major traffic disruptions on busier streets. This bill would effectively eliminate the possibility of performing construction work on City streets and utilities after 7 pm, because trucking for all of the sources for gravel and paving materials in the area are located in and/or must travel through unincorporated urban areas to reach City projects. This bill takes away local control of how we perform our work. I don't see any way to amend the bill to make it acceptable. HB 3224 Relating Clause: Relating to food sold in public buildings. Title:Establishes nutritional requirements for food items sold in public buildings. Sponsored by: By Representative KOTEK; Representative GREENLICK URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3200.dir/hb3224.intro.pdf Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Michael Magee LRCS-ADM 2/17/2011 Pri 3 Oppose Comments: While LRCS generally supports efforts to reduce obesity in the general population, especially in children, we do not support this bill as written. It would significantly impact current operations at our facilities that are operated by both City and contracted vendors. If this bill were to be enacted, LRCS could lose thousands of dollars in revenue as our contract food service vendors may opt out of agreements. Further, if food and beverage service is unavailable at our facilities, it would be seen by our patrons as a reduction in service and convenience. 8
