As written, the bill would continue to allow two-way radio communication. However, <br />cell phones are increasingly a viable communication tool for Public Works equipment <br />operators. Recommend priority 3 oppose, seeking an amendment at Section 1(1)(e) to <br />strike the words "as a volunteer" (i.e., to allow the use of a cell phone for a Public Works <br />equipment operator providing emergency services). (Eric Jones) <br />Comments from other reviewers on SB 407: <br />The City already has a policy on this issue which, while it was being developed, <br />considered what this bill proposes. I believe that the feedback received from managers for <br />the City was that it would unnecessarily limit the ability to communicate or respond <br />under some circumstances. (Craig Sorseth) <br />City staff do use cellular devices on occasion in city vehicles while performing aspects of <br />their operational responsibilities. e.g. building inspectors calling supervisors, or <br />customers with updates of their scheduling and work flow. Although Public Works field <br />staff primarily use a two way radio system for emergency communications , there are <br />times when their work flows require the use of cell phones to communicate while driving. <br />If the use of a cell phone was not permitted these operations would be required to pull <br />over to the side of the road to complete their communications or use a dedicated hands <br />free device. Currently there is a City cell phone use policy that addresses most <br />operational questions within the organization. Elimination of the proposed cell phone use <br />language in this bill could potentially have a negative effect on certain City staff <br />operations. The impact should be mitigated by the use of vehicle based blue tooth <br />devices. (Tony Jobanek) <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Chuck Tilby EPD-ADM 2/17/2011 Pri 3 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: EPD likes the idea of eliminating the general exclusion of anyone who uses one of the <br />prohibited devices as part of their employment. Just because it is work related does not <br />mean they have the training and experience to operate a vehicle under those conditions <br />any more than the average motorist. That said, we are ok with PW concerns over the <br />wording, and defer to their recommendation. <br />HB 3192 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to traffic offenses; declaring an emergency. <br />Title:Provides that fines and costs collected by court for traffic offenses committed on state <br />highways be credited and distributed as monetary obligation payable to state. <br />Sponsored by: By Representative KIMP; Representatives GILLIAM, KENNEMER, SCHAUFLER <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3100.dir/hb3192.intro.pdf <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Chuck Tilby EPD-ADM 2/17/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Concur with Jeff. This would divert all money for violations written on Hwy 99, `126 <br />(Franklin, 6th and 7th, 11th) etc. Large negative monetary loss to the City. The state has <br />6 <br />
