services with minimal process costs. This omission undermines the City's right to dictate the <br /> <br />process for personal services contracts. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Mike Penwell CS-FAC 2/22/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: I agree with comments from others. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 3504 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to driving while suspended. <br /> <br />Title: Authorizes civil forfeiture of motor vehicle if person is convicted of offense relating to driving <br />while suspended or revoked. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative BARNHART; Representative TOMEI <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3500.dir/hb3504.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Chuck Tilby EPD-ADM 3/2/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: This bill makes sense in that it applies only to the most aggravated of circumstances, where <br />options for the government dealing with flagrant disregard of the law needs more options than <br />what is currently available. The bill does not mandate a forfeiture so it can be applied judiciously. <br />Civil forfeiture will basically require the City (either prosecutor or City Attorney) to file the <br />paperwork because the District Attorney is not filing any civil forfeitures due to staffing <br />limitations. The burden will be increased prosecutor time or City Attorney time and increased <br />police administrative time to process forfeitures and store the vehicles. Given the limited number <br />of cases involved, it's probably good to have the option when aggravated circumstances pose a <br />significant public safety risk. <br />In addition, the City will need to evaluate current ordinances regarding civil forfeiture as it <br />mandates all proceeds will go to drug treatment programs for City residents (which I believe do <br />not exist). Added Jerry Lidz to evaluate from the CA perspective. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jerry Lidz CS-CMO-ATTY 2/28/2011 Pri 3 Support <br /> <br />Comments: I agree with Chuck Tilby's analysis. This bill would authorize forfeiture of a vehicle only for <br />repeat offenders of driving while suspended or revoked. Because forfeitures are time-consuming <br />and therefore costly, it would be a last resort, but having the authority maybe useful on rare <br />occasions. But rare enough that a priority 3 is sufficient. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 3505 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to government ethics. <br /> <br />Title: Creates exception to definition of “gift” for purposes of government ethics laws. <br />6 | Page <br />March 16, 2011 IGR Committee Meeting <br />
