A RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE THE NOVEMBER 2000 GENERAL ELECTION
BALLOT MEASURE 2 BY THE EUGENE CITY COUNCIL.
WHEREAS, Ballot Measure 2, which is on the November 7, 2000, general election ballot,
would amend the Oregon Constitution to create a process for petitioning the legislature to require
its review of administrative rules; and
WHEREAS, Ballot Measure 2 requires legislative review of administrative rules upon
petition by only 10,000 qualified voters; and
WHEREAS, Oregon law presently requires substantial public process, in addition to
legislative authorization, in the development and issuance of administrative rules; and
WHEREAS, Ballot Measure 2 would substantially interfere with and is inconsistent with
the constitutional separation and independence of the legislative, executive and judicial powers
and branches of government.
NOW THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, A Municipal
Corporation of the State of Oregon, that the Eugene City Council opposes Ballot Measure 2.
The foregoing resolution adopted this 10th day of October, 2000.
