RESOLUTION NO. 4518.
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING BALLOT MEASURE 65
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a
Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon:
Ballot Measure 65 is a threat to state land use planning.
That it allows anyone who can gather approximately 24,000 signatures (2% of
voter turnout in the previous election for governor) to force the Legislature to review any
administrative rules listed in the petition.
That, if the Legislature fails to act, the administrative rules are automatically
eliminated. Thus one committee chair could eliminate a rule by refusing to schedule a hearing.
That, under this measure, all of our 19 statewide land use planning goals could be
easily abolished by a minority of voters and legislators.
That we know through our Growth Management Study that Eugene citizens
support land use planning.
Now, Therefore
Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Eugene, a Minicipal Corporation
of the State of Oregon, as follows:
We oppose Ballot Measure 65.
The foregoing Resolution adopted the 12th day of October, 1 998
