21-5 Measures

Explanatory StatementThe Central Oregon Coast Fire and Rescue District (COCF&RD) is a governmental agency that levies taxes to support and fund Fire District operations. COCF&RD services the City of Waldport, Community of Tidewater, and the Five Rivers Community. COCF&RD provides fire protection services, emergency rescue services including water rescue, and emergency medical services for its patrons and visitors. About 90% of COCF&RD’s revenue comes from property taxes.

COCF&RD is asking our communities within our response District to renew a 5-year serial levy for $1.27 per $1000 assessed value of property within the district. This would renew a property tax, currently in place and expected to expire in 2021 to ensure that our Fire District will be able to maintain our personnel, support our volunteer programs, and continue District Operations such as responding to medical calls, motor vehicle accidents, structure fires, and technical rescue responses.

COCF&RD maintains a minimum staffing level to ensure the community is protected and emergency responses are handled. The staff of the District also provide management and oversight for District led programs and maintenance which directly supports the insurance ratings provided through the Insurance Services Office evaluations of the Districts operations.

Without a renewal of this tax, COCF&RD will need to drastically reduce services. Effective July 1st of 2020, the District evaluation, through Insurance Services Offices, resulted in an improvement of ratings due to improved program management and service delivery. This improvement could provide up to a 20% reduction of homeowner’s insurance costs. A reduction in services would directly affect the Districts ability to maintain the current Insurance ratings recently achieved.

The Board of Directors has determined that they must ask the voters of the District to Renew a five-year Local Option Tax in the amount of $1.27 per $1,000 of assessed value for continued operations.

(This information submitted by Tim Grady, Chair, Board of Directors,

Central Oregon Coast Fire & Rescue District.)

Ballot Title

21-198Renewal of local option tax for Central Oregon Coast Fire

QUESTION: Shall the COCF renew its tax for operations of $1.27 per $1000 assessed value for five years beginning 2021-2022?

This measure renews current local option taxes.

SUMMARY: Approval of this measure would renew the current five-year local option tax set to expire in tax year 2020-2021, at the same rate now in effect, for an additional five years.

It is estimated that this measure would raise approximately $501,853 in tax revenues for 2021-2022; $516,909 in tax revenues for 2022-2023; $532,416 in tax revenues for 2023-2024; $548,389 in tax revenues for 2024-2025 and $564,840 for 2025-2026.

Revenues would be used by the Central Oregon Coast Fire & Rescue District to continue to staff Firefighting and Emergency Medical Services, pay the operating costs of the District, update and replace equipment, continue expanded training, and purchase protective equipment, hose and other small equipment.

Occupational Background: Newspaper and radio reporter

Educational Background: B.A., Pacific University; M.S., Northwestern University

Prior Governmental Experience: Chair, Oregon Housing Stability Council. Numerous appointed positions

Everything I do, I do because I believe it will create a higher quality life for the people of Lincoln County. Starting with my life as a journalist when I made sure our community was well informed, that has carried into my work as your Commissioner since 2004.

When first elected, I identified many things our county needed to CHANGE and in the last 16 years, I learned that CHANGE takes TIME, MONEY, RELATIONSHIPS and EXPERIENCE.

Here are some of the changes I have made in Lincoln County:

•ADDED over 140 new community priced housing units including 10 houses and a Veterans housing complex (coming 2021)•DOUBLED Veterans benefits•CREATED VA Coastal Clinics adding two doctors and access to specialists•WON US a $750,000 grant for more mental health and addiction treatment•GROWN our transit system•EXPANDED Head Start and other early childhood pro-grams•PROTECTED services for Seniors •STRENGTHENED our relationship with the Confederated Tribes of Siletz •LEAD our county through the Great Recession and to a more robust economy•CHAMPIONS our Small Business Development Center, supporting and growing our small business community.

Change takes money. I believe in smart money management. My voting record shows it. I vote to keep taxes low while provid-ing a quality level of services by seeking funding from grants and other agencies to keep the local tax burden to a minimum.

Change takes experience. I have the experience and focus we need to see us through to the other side of the Coronavirus Crisis. I know my job and can focus 100 percent of my time and efforts on serving Lincoln County. No distractions.

Vote for the EXPERIENCE you need to get the CHANGES you DESERVE.

Occupational Background: Forester, ODF; Biologist, ADFG

Educational Background: Oregon State University, BS Animal Science, BS Fisheries

and Wildlife

Prior Governmental Experience: Oregon Department of For-estry; Alaska Department of Fish and Game

I am running for County Commissioner because I have educa-tional and work experiences which make me uniquely suited to the management of the rich resources of our County, and because we need a fresh perspective that I can bring to the table. I have spent much of my life living and working in Lincoln County. My wife, Taryn and I look forward to raising our family here. We are invested in the financial, educational, and environ-mental well-being of Lincoln County. I know our community can do better.

While working for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as a Biologist, I was the lead for all trans-boundary mine development in Southeast Alaska. I coordinated department response for tim-ber sales on the Tongass National Forest, and I was the oil spill coordinator for the department. I worked with local, state, federal, and tribal agencies, and I successfully managed many politically, and environmentally contentious issues.

As a Forester for the Oregon Department of Forestry, I helped landowners, local governments and watershed councils achieve their goals related to the Forest Practices Act. While at the Department of Forestry, I was also one of the lead Wildland Fire Investigators for the State.

My wife Taryn and I currently own and operate a local microbrew-ery. What started as a hobby, our brewery business has grown to multiple locations and distribution in three states. This experi-ence has allowed me to understand both governmental issues and small business concerns in our community.

Education, housing, and resource management are forefront issues for our community. The Board of Commissioners and our County deserve more. I can bring a new, common-sense per-spective to the issues we face in Lincoln County, and I respect-fully ask for your vote.

Occupational Background: Small Business Owner, Devel-oper and Data Base Architect

Educational Background: 13 yrs

Prior Governmental Experience: Councilor City of Waldport 2002-2003; Director Central Lincoln PUD 2003 - Present

First off, thank you for allowing me to serve as your representa-tive to Central Lincoln PUD for the last 17 years. I am so proud of our utility and the job they do for you. Par-ticularly during these times when we see continued rolling blackouts throughout California. This is because California has not carefully planned for the resource needs of the population. However, the Central Lincoln PUD Service area is fortunate to have stable, low-cost energy because of the vision brought forth over 80 years ago that created our incredible carbon-free hydropower system, as well as continued planning and advo-cacy to protect and build upon that system. A healthy electric system requires a balance of many factors. It takes more than understanding how the hydropower system works. It takes strong advocacy and partners working together to keep the electrons flowing. It involves everything from incor-porating new intermittent resources, such as wind and solar, to focusing on safety, cybersecurity, wildfires, and legislative agen-das that can impact our hydropower system and community. As your representative, I have worked with my fellow directors to advocate and build strong partnerships locally, statewide, regionally, and nationally to ensure that you receive the power you need at a reasonable price.We have some of the best power rates in the nation as a direct result of the incredible representation and partnerships we have in the northwest. It is not hard to see from California’s recurrent power problems how different decisions and uninformed repre-sentation can cause quite a different outcome, including some of the highest rates in the country.With your support, I will continue to build strong partnerships and advocate to maintain the high-quality, low-cost power sys-tem we have come to expect.

Prior Governmental Experience: Appointed to position #5 in 2018; later elected in 2018

At last...the City of Depoe Bay is recovering from the financial reporting instability created a few years ago and the Whale Capital of the World is on it’s way to a brighter future in that regard. But now we are in the throes of a pandemic, putting a stop to all work and spending in the City, except for essential services and creating havoc with the budget. If elected to serve as your Mayor, I will continue progress that has been made in the financial area, prepare a budget that reflects the hardships we have encountered and continue to work on en-hancements to our beautiful City.

Setting aside a time each week to meet with the people of De-poe Bay, to discuss ideas and put into place what our residents identify as needs is a priority to me. Instead of management by crisis, I want to encourage planned development and replace-ment of our infrastructures.

I look forward to when we can gather again to celebrate the unique community that is Depoe Bay. We come together to promote the City with crab feeds, salmon bakes and a Fleet of Flowers. I have enjoyed being a part of those activities. De-poe Bay is a town that cares and I care.

As a City Councilwoman, I have identified numerous items that need attention. There is a lot of work to do and by working together we can make great things happen. I have the time and commitment to see it through.Please vote for Kathy Short for Mayor of Depoe Bay! Kathy Cares!

Prior Governmental Experience: City Planner

I grew up as an Army Brat and first moved to Oregon in 1999. Depoe Bay is my favorite place in the world. I love being here. This is my 5th year in Depoe Bay and I am excited to get more involved in the community. When I first moved to Depoe Bay, I worked as a teacher at Taft 7-12. I am lucky to now raise and educate my 3-year-old daughter full time here in Depoe Bay. I am a former Peace Corps Volunteer. I have a Masters Degree in Community and Regional Planning from the University of Oregon and years of experience as a city planner. I also have a Masters Degree in Education from Portland State University and years of experience as a teacher.

This year I worked with the City’s Budget Committee and have regularly attended City Council meetings. It is a challenging time for the City of Depoe Bay. There are currently serious financial issues facing the city. In order to survive financially, the City of Depoe Bay is going to make some tough decisions. There will be even more need to be financially conservative in the upcoming year.

Prior Governmental Experi-ence: City of Depoe Bay City Council February 2020 to present

I have been vacationing in the Depoe Bay Area for over twenty years. My husband and I had a goal to move to the area when we retired and we achieved that goal in January 2018. I have had the honor of representing Depoe Bay on the City Council for the last six months and have learned so much about the inter-workings of City Government and how the decisions we make are far-reaching. I am committed to listening carefully to the items presented and will rely on honesty and good common sense to do what is right for the citizens of Depoe Bay.

Educational Background: Rutgers University; Oregon State- Masters, Marine Resources Management

Prior Governmental Experience: Depoe Bay Planning Commis-sion; State of Oregon-Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia Council; Pacific Fishery Management Council-Habitat Committee

Hello. I am running for the City Council because I believe I can help maintain the Depoe Bay we love and help it prosper. I have lived in Depoe Bay for 30 years and have seen it grow while staying friendly, welcoming, unique and beautiful for resi-dents and tourists. I want to keep it that way.

I like that people build a strong community here by volunteering to help with special events, by picking up trash and helping their neighbors. I like that we take care of each other through the Kids Zone, food pantry, and food drives.

We have other assets too that make our town special-- a busy harbor, our nearshore whales, our clean drinking water, and access to our ocean’s beauty and bounty.

I have skills that I’ve used to help the City and will continue providing on the City Council. I served on the Depoe Bay Com-munity Response Team which brought the Samaritan Health Clinic to Depoe Bay. I wrote the successful grants and worked with the City to buy the land along Highway 101 north of the sea wall for open space parks with their ocean vistas.

We have been able to maintain residential areas where our workforce can find affordable monthly rentals. I strongly sup-port neighborhoods for neighbors and oppose allowing vacation rentals as has been suggested at some city council meetings recently. We have many other areas where our valuable visitors can stay to enjoy our town, without conflict.

With your vote, I can help the City face its challenges and cre-ate and achieve a positive vision for the future. Thank you.

The past four years I have had the honor to represent not only the residents of Ward 3, but also all of Lincoln City. I have been a member of the community for over 20 years and there is no other place I would rather be living. It is the sense of “com-munity” that keeps me here. It is the feeling of “belonging” that propels me to serve on the City Council so this inclusive feeling will not fade away. I continually seek research information and gather input to help make good decisions. I appreciate citizen interactions and communications: I learn by listening to your concerns and ideas. I want to assist you with your needs and support your successes.

Currently the world-wide pandemic has presented hardships that call for us to support each other. As a Council member, I feel that our ability to reach a consensus has allowed us to work together for the health and welfare of the entire community. I will work diligently to regain the losses that we have experienced during these unprecedented times; continue to focus on the ex-pansion of affordable and workforce housing; support changes that will reduce negative environmental impacts; strive to keep our Parks open and accessible to outdoor lovers-including our dogs; maintain a balanced budget that allows for reductions and flexibility to meet unexpected situations. I will look for options and future planning goals for the City, in order to preserve and maintain our water, sewer and roads. My goal is to keep our City a livable and well-managed place to call “home”.

I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE, AND SUPPORT.

I ask for your vote because I want to serve the citizens of Lincoln City. I am committed to working with Council members to preserve and protect the uniqueness and quality of life we enjoy in this beautiful area of the central coast. It’s critical that City government is representative of different points of view.

We must work on finding areas that we agree. I believe in creating and maintaining an environment that is welcoming to existing and new business. Taking care of our children, seniors and veterans is what makes a town a great place to call home. Affordable housing, jobs, entertainment and recreational activi-ties are necessary to build communities. I fully support our police department and first responders. A well trained and well-staffed public safety department is critical and falls squarely on the shoulders of the Mayor and City Council.

I am employed full time as a Claims Adjuster in the private sector. I handle complex cases that require knowledge of contract law, and expertise in customer service, investigation, evaluation and negotiation of Commercial, Farm, Auto and Personal Injury claims.

The opportunity to serve comes with great responsibility. I hope to meet and hear your views and further shape my own in the coming weeks.

I have been asked many times over the past few months why I want to be a city councilor for Lincoln City. The answer is simple - I absolutely love and cherish this livable, lovable coastal town we all call home and want to do everything I can as your city councilor to keep it livable and lovable and make it even more so. I am excited to hear all of your thoughts on what “more liv-able and lovable” means to you.

I have over 22 years of experience in dealing with government on land-use planning issues and related codes and ordinances, so I feel I can bring valuable and unique knowledge and insight to the council to enhance the service we perform for you. Afford-able housing and shelter, living-wage jobs, parks, sidewalks, and improved streets are just some of what we can work together on and achieve, thereby making our little piece of the coast even more livable and lovable.

A vote for Anne Marie is a vote for you and Lincoln City.

Leadership, Vision and Grit are my strengths.

Two years as a city councilor followed by three terms as Mayor of Newport ending in 2018 puts me in the unique position to build on my institutional knowledge. One example is Newport’s future water supply. In 2014 I was involved in the Big Creek Dam proj-ect and contacted our State and Federal Representatives and Senators to bring awareness to the problem and for funding.

As mayor, I was elected to the Board of the Oregon Mayors Association from 2014-2018. If elected, I will run for the board again. Working through committees and boards at the State and National level, affects the local.

The pall of the COVID-19 Pandemic hovers over us all, so gritty decisions will be needed to alter visioning plans to fit reality. Less funding from room tax monies, and other incomes will force innovative City budget decisions.

I believe in and support the science guiding us through this Pandemic.

Prior Governmental Experience: Newport’s City Council, Planning Commission, Urban Renewal Agency, Budget, Audit, Public Arts, Airport, VAC Steering Committees, Retirement Board, Homeless Task Force, STR Work Group, Port of Newport liaison and Chamber of Commerce

My City Government interest began forty years ago, first on the Planning Commission and continuing on the City Council.

Volunteers make Newport livable: I have served on numerous boards, committees and commissions, including the Newport Volunteer Fire Department.

On Council, I gained an understanding of the city and will use this knowledge to bring inclusive, fiscally sound, creative solu-tions to community concerns.

Newport faces many challenges requiring strong, compas-sionate, inclusive and transparent leadership, vision for the arts, commitment to literacy, increased livability, infrastructure improvements and community based support.

The financial planning, budget and audit committees have pro-vided me a perspective for creative financial solutions. Careful Stewardship of city businesses and expenditures is even more important today.

The coming years will bring many challenges including:

•Business survival: I will commit all city services and support efforts like the recent grant program to busi-nesses adversely affected by COVID-19.•Water Security: ownership and regional planning for our watershed is critical.•Childcare: solutions for available and affordable child-care are vital.•Affordable Housing: Surf View Village, a public/private partnership provides some help: we need more, and I will work to achieve this.•Sewer Plant: we must stop spreading solid waste in fields of Siletz Valley; only clean water should leave our plant.•Quality of Life: I will work to open our buildings and parks now standing vacant.•Other issues: I will examine Bayfront parking, family wage jobs, school safety, 101 downtown corridor, climate action, plastics in the environment and EV car accommodations.

Family and community values are very important to me and are critical to my decision to seek re-election on Newport’s City Council.

I haven’t lived here forever, but long enough to know that New-port is the best town on the Oregon Coast. We have the most diverse economy. We have fast access to the Valley. The Coast Guard. Oregon State University. NOAA. A nationally recognized fishing community. Federal and State agencies. The Bayfront. Nye Beach. The Aquarium. The Farmer’s Market - the list goes on. We have so much, but we still face challenges. We have critical infrastructure decisions to make. We have an affordable housing crisis. This is a crucial time to help families and small businesses recover from the effects of the Coronavirus. This will require inventive and thoughtful planning. Creative ideas to overcome a revenue shortfall. And a fresh perspective on devel-opment partnerships with both public and private entities. As a council member, I’d focus on alleviating Newport’s traffic prob-lems, the beautification of the 101 corridor, and the creation of new housing opportunities.Together we can make Newport an even better place. That’s why I’m running. Thanks for reading!

I love Toledo. That is why I stepped back into the political arena two years ago. This town has so much going for it, and I want to see it continue to grow in new and exciting ways.

I believe, that as Mayor, I must represent all the citizens of Toledo. That means I always try to listen to the diversity of opinions that are held. I don’t always agree, but I will listen, and I hope that we can grow closer as a community as we move forward in a collaborative way.

In these last two years, we have had quite a roller coaster ride, as we have seen new businesses begin to prosper, old ones change hands, and our largest employer bring in a whole new recycling technology. COVID has challenged us, but we have perservered. The City Council has helped our local businesses stay competitive with the SIP Initiative with GP, and our small business grant program. We have many exciting projects that we are working towards. One of which is a plan to Revitalize Downtown with an emphasis on Native American and Local Art.

We have a lot to do over the next few years to see these proj-ects come to fruition. It is my desire to see them through, and to see Toledo enter an era of growth and prosperity for all of us.

I continue to make myself available to each and every one of you - my contact information is in every newsletter and the City website. I appreciate all the calls, letters and emails I have received the last few years.

Two years ago, I said I had no agenda, but only wanted good, sensible, and financially responsible government. That it still the case, and it’s what I have tried to accomplish with our city council. We face some challenging times ahead, and we’ll need to maintain a delicate balance of doing the things we as a community would like to see happen while meeting all of our necessary obligations and building up our reserves. It’s going to be challenging, but we can do it.

It’s important for our city council to be representative of our entire community, and we seem to have a good cross section of the community on the council at present. We don’t always agree, but that is representative of our community, as we don’t always see eye to eye with our neighbors on issues.

I look forward to serving you the next two years as your Mayor and ask for your vote and your support. Thank you.

I am humbled that many community members encouraged me to run for mayor. As your councilor, I study issues carefully and pay attention to details. I seek out citizens’ opinions and bring their voices to Council.

As your mayor, I will work to build consensus and trust. I will lis-ten respectfully and encourage robust discussion, recognizing the value of different perspectives. I will ensure that Yachatians are informed about upcoming questions and that people feel warmly welcomed to comment before decisions are made.

We face important choices and Council must engage our com-munity to understand citizens’ priorities. Spending decisions must be made judiciously and must cohere with long-term plans built with broad community participation. Responsible stewardship of our financial and natural resources is crucial. Yachats must make choices mindful of the need to have ad-equate reserves to support critical infrastructure projects and acquisitions that protect our watershed and viewshed. Reliable water and wastewater services are fundamental, and we must secure these essential services going forward.

I cherish our beautiful village and its people. Yachats is a com-munity of heroes who share friendly greetings and help their neighbors. Their heroic deeds include tending flowerbeds, maintaining trails, and navigating emergencies. They care for children and pets, staff our food bank and library, and bravely work at shops, restaurants, and motels. They build and repair. Yachats heroes add beauty with their music and creativity, fight for justice and for our environment, and work to protect what makes Yachats special. Thank you all!

As the world struggles with coronavirus, I will think of your health, safety, and wellbeing. I promise to serve with integrity and inclusivity.

I would be honored to be have your vote. I would be honored to be YOUR mayor.

Educational Background: Bachelor’s - Phillips University; Master’s - Christian Theological Seminary; Certificate in Interim Executive Training; Honorary doctorate. Additional graduate level education in research and planning for communities.

I would like to work on updating the community’s vision and plan for Yachats for the coming 2020-2030 period. Residents are experiencing many changes which we must keep from threatening our sense of community, our village scale, and stewardship of our natural resources.

A long-time resident and volunteer, I bring historical roots and continuity to the discussions, as well as an open invitation to both newcomers and old-timers to have a voice. Yachats is a desirable “destination” town for tourists, working families and retirees, so we need to establish workable procedures to integrate the interests and needs of diverse groups, and strive to develop the cohesion that makes us all good neighbors. I am a good listener and want to hear you.

We are in the midst of stabilizing a new form of governance, transitioning to new management and budget technologies, and negotiating government-related contracts and grants to upgrade and preserve our city buildings, offices, streets, trails, basic services and local businesses –especially during this Covid-19 crisis. I want to see this through.

My background has consistently involved solution-building, by helping groups come together with respect for the past and foresight for their future. I am committed to doing this, in this beloved “Gem of the Oregon Coast.”

The single most important word to describe the relationship between elected officials and the public is trust. It is my belief that an honest discussion of values is the best indication of how a public official will approach problems, issues, discussions, decisions and communications.

Yachats needs a council committed to building trust in city communications, processes, and decisions. Our recent history of 3-2 council votes is a sign of problems. Yachats needs a council committed to working together, listening to voters in the delivery of services and solving problems.

Good governance depends on accurate and current information available to everyone; transparency in all the city does; respon-sible fiscal management; accountability for decisions, actions, commitments and environmental responsibility. If you believe in these values, vote for a change in the Yachats council.

Greg is experienced in city operations, management, finances, budgets, & municipal law. His 14 years of experience and Yachats history are a missing dimension on the current council.

Occupational Background: Teacher; Drafter

Educational Background: Associate in Applied Science, Snow College 1980; Bachelor of Science, Utah State University

1984; Master in Secondary Education, Weber State University 1992

Prior Governmental Experience: Yachats Public Works & Streets Commission 2019

I am running for City Council for one reason: Our current coun-cil is not serving Yachats well enough. We need transparent representation that allows us to be informed and confident that there are no hidden agendas. We need representative govern-ment that welcomes and is responsive to community input. We need to ensure the community is not shut out of vital decisions that will have an impact on Yachats for years to come.

I was an educator for thirty-one years who is now enjoying my own Shangri-la on the Oregon Coast. I’ve lived full-time in Yachats for three years. After fifty-seven years in Utah, I sold my house, packed all my earthly possessions into two U-Haul boxes, and arrived at my cottage on Driftwood with a peek-a-boo view of the Pacific.

Since moving here, not only have I fallen in love with our vil-lage, but I’ve fallen in love with the eclectic mix of people who I continue to meet. I still wake up every day and “pinch” myself because I’m so lucky to live here. Yachats has become entwined with my soul! However, I’m deeply sadden by the fact that so many of our friends and neighbors feel their voices are not being heard and respected by the majority of our council members.

Being a history and government buff, I gravitated toward a ca-reer in teaching social sciences, particularly civics. As an edu-cator I learned the importance of being persistent, of planning, of anticipating pitfalls, of playing devil’s advocate, and of being patient. These lessons will allow me to serve as a responsible council member. Just as I served the diverse needs of all my students, I will serve the needs of all my constituents.

Educational Background: San Jose State University - BS in Business Administration; Santa Clara High School - Santa Clara, California; Lakeview High School - Lakeview, Oregon

Prior Governmental Experience: Incumbent City Councilor, Yachats, Oregon

I have been a member of the Yachats City Council since January of 2017. Like most things in life it has been a learning experience. It is only within the last six months that I have be-gun to feel comfortable in stating my opinions. I have struggled with my decision to seek re-election, but do feel that I bring something of value to the table. I have a varied background. Business owner, union member, veteran. But over and above everything I appreciate the wonder of the natural world and our place in it. I resist the impulse to seek for simple solutions to complex problems. There are those among us who think that during difficult times it is better to do nothing. Others among us think that it should be business as usual. I believe that the best course lies somewhere in the middle. In that spirit I ask for your support and your vote.

21-27 State Measure Text

STATE MEASURESReferred to the People

by the Legislative Assembly

107 Amends Constitution: Allows laws limiting political campaign contributions and expenditures, requiring disclosure of political campaign contributions and expenditures, and requiring political campaign advertisements to identify who paid for themResult of “Yes” Vote: “Yes” vote allows laws, created by the Legislative Assembly, local governments or voters that limit contributions and expenditures made to influence an election. Allows laws that require disclosure of contributions and expenditures made to influence an election. Allows laws that require campaign or election advertisements to identify who paid for them. Campaign contribution limits cannot prevent effective advocacy. Applies to laws enacted or approved on or after January 1, 2016.Result of “No” Vote: “No” vote retains current law. Courts currently find the Oregon Constitution does not allow laws limiting campaign expenditures. Laws limiting contributions are allowed if the text of the law does not target expression.Summary: The Oregon Supreme Court has interpreted the Oregon Constitution to prohibit limits on expenditures made in connection with a political campaign or to influence the outcome of an election. Limits on contributions are allowed if the text of the law does not target expression. The proposed measure amends the Oregon Constitution to allow the Oregon Legislative Assembly, local governments, and the voters by initiative to pass laws that limit contributions and expenditures made in connection with a political campaign and contributions and expenditures made to influence an election. The measure would allow laws that require disclosure of political campaign and election contributions and expenditures. The measure would allow laws that require political campaign and election advertisements to identify who paid for them. Laws limiting campaign contributions cannot prevent effective advocacy. Measure applies to all laws enacted or approved on or after January 1, 2016.

Estimate of Financial Impact: This measure will have no financial effect on the expenditures or revenues of the state, counties, cities, or special districts in Oregon.

Referred to the People by the Legislative Assembly

108 Increases cigarette and cigar taxes. Establishes tax on e- cigarettes and nicotine vaping devices. Funds health programs.Result of “Yes” Vote: “Yes” vote increases cigarette tax by $2 per pack. Increases cap on cigar taxes to $1 per cigar. Establishes tax on nicotine inhalant delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes and vaping products. Funds health programs. Approves other provisions.Result of “No” Vote: “No” vote retains current law. Cigarettes are taxed at current rate of $1.33 per pack. Tax on cigars is capped at 50 cents per cigar. Nicotine inhalant delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes and vaping products, remain untaxed.Summary: Under current law, a tax of $1.33 is imposed on each pack of 20 cigarettes, cigars are taxed at 65 percent of the wholesale price, up to a maximum of 50 cents per cigar, and nicotine inhalant delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes and vaping products, are not taxed. Measure increases the cigarette tax by $2 per pack and increases the maximum tax on cigars to $1 per cigar. Measure provides for smaller cigars (sold commonly as “cigarillos”) to be taxed like cigarettes. Measure establishes tax on nicotine inhalant delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes and vaping products, at 65 percent of the wholesale price. Tax on nicotine inhalant delivery systems does not apply to approved tobacco cessation products or to marijuana inhalant delivery systems. Revenue from increased and new taxes will be used to fund health care coverage for low-income families, including mental health services, and to fund public health programs, including prevention and cessation programs, addressing tobacco- and nicotine-related diseases.

Estimate of Financial Impact: This referral increases taxes on cigarettes and cigars and establishes a tax on e-cigarettes and vaping devices and dedicates the revenues to health programs at the Oregon Health Authority. The measure will increase net state revenues by $111.1 million in 2019-21 and $331.4 million in 2021-23. The measure dedicates 90 percent of the revenue from the increased cigarette tax and the e-cigarette and vaping device tax to support the Oregon Health Plan and other medical assistance programs and 10 percent to tobacco use prevention and cessation programs. Funds spent on the Oregon Health Plan are eligible for federal matching funds. The direct expenditure impact of the measure is the cost of administering the tax increases, estimated at $1.0 million in 2019-21 and $1.3 million in 2021-23.

Local governments, the state’s General Fund, and mental health programs at the Oregon Health Authority could see a decline in revenue if the measure passes. The current cigarette tax and the proposed tax are dedicated to different purposes.

Beyond the cost of administration, the impact of the revenue increases and decreases on state and local government expenditures is indeterminate and will depend on decisions made by the governing bodies of those governments.


109 Allows manufacture, delivery, administration of psilocybin at supervised, licensed facilities; imposes two-year development periodResult of “Yes” Vote: Allows manufacture, delivery, administration of psilocybin (psychoactive mushroom) at supervised, licensed facilities; imposes two-year development period. Creates enforcement/taxation system, advisory board, administration fund.Result of “No” Vote: “No” vote retains current law, which prohibits manufacture, delivery, and possession of psilocybin and imposes misdemeanor or felony criminal penalties.Summary: Currently, federal and state laws prohibit the manufacture, delivery, and possession of psilocybin (psychoactive mushroom). Initiative amends state law to require Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to establish Oregon Psilocybin Services Program to allow licensed/regulated production, processing, delivery, possession of psilocybin exclusively for administration of “psilocybin services” (defined) by licensed “facilitator” (defined) to “qualified client” (defined). Grants OHA authority to implement, administer, and enforce program. Imposes two-year development period before implementation of program. Establishes fund for program administration and governor-appointed advisory board that must initially include one measure sponsor; members are compensated. Imposes packaging, labeling, and dosage requirements. Requires sales tax for retail psilocybin. Preempts local laws inconsistent with program except “reasonable regulations” (defined). Exempts licensed/regulated activities from criminal penalties. Other provisions.

Estimate of Financial Impact: This measure legalizes, regulates and taxes the manufacture, sale, and administration of psilocybin for mental health purposes. State revenue and expenditures will be impacted by passage of this measure. Local government expenditures will be impacted. A fifteen percent point of sales tax based on the retail sales of psilocybin is established as a source of funding for administrating the program by the Oregon Health Authority, tax collection and enforcement by the Oregon Department of Revenue, and administration by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission of a psilocybin tracking system.

The measure requires the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to develop, over a two year period, beginning January 1, 2021, a regulation, licensure, and enforcement program, including fees and fines. The revenue estimate from fees and taxes when fully implemented is indeterminate.

The financial impact during the two-year development period, which runs through December of 2022, is estimated to be $5.4 million General Fund to begin activities required under the Act. Once the program is established, ongoing costs are estimated at $3.1 million annually, which will be covered by the fees and tax funds for the administration and enforcement of the Act. The development cost estimate is based on the cost of developing the medical marijuana program following the passage of Measure 67 in 1998.

The financial effect on local government for conducting required land use compatibility assessments for licensee applicants and adoption of any pertinent ordinances is indeterminate.


21-28 State Measure Text


110 Provides statewide addiction/recovery services; marijuana taxes partially finance; reclassifies possession/penalties for specified drugsResult of “Yes” Vote: “Yes” vote provides addiction recovery centers/services; marijuana taxes partially finance (reduces revenues for other purposes); reclassifies possession of specified drugs, reduces penalties; requires audits.Result of “No” Vote: “No” vote rejects requiring addiction recovery centers/services; retains current marijuana tax revenue uses; maintains current classifications/ penalties for possession of drugs.Summary: Measure mandates establishment/ funding of “addiction recovery centers” (centers) within each existing coordinated care organization service area by October 1, 2021; centers provide drug users with triage, health assessments, treatment, recovery services. To fund centers, measure dedicates all marijuana tax revenue above $11,250,000 quarterly, legislative appropriations, and any savings from reductions in arrests, incarceration, supervision resulting from the measure. Reduces marijuana tax revenue for other uses. Measure reclassifies personal non-commercial possession of certain drugs under specified amount from misdemeanor or felony (depending on person’s criminal history) to Class E violation subject to either $100 fine or a completed health assessment by center. Oregon Health Authority establishes council to distribute funds/ oversee implementation of centers. Secretary of State audits biennially. Other provisions.

Estimate of Financial Impact: The initiative directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to establish Addiction Recovery Centers and increase funding for other substance use disorder services offset by decreasing funding to other programs, changes the distribution of marijuana tax revenues and reduces drug penalties for possession of some drugs.

Marijuana Revenue RedistributionThe initiative creates the Drug Treatment and Recovery Services Fund (DTRSF). It redistributes marijuana revenue above $11.25 million per quarter from existing recipients to the DTRSF, reducing revenue to the State School Fund, the State Police, mental health programs, and local governments. The revenue redistributions for state agency programs are summarized below:

All dollars in millions 2019-21 2021-23

Drug Treatment and Recovery Services Fund (ARCs) $ 61.1 $ 182.4

State School Fund $ (17.1) $ (73.0)

Mental Health, Alcoholism and Drug Services $ (8.6) $ (36.5)

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Intervention $ (2.1) $ (9.1)

Oregon State Police $ (6.5) $ (27.4)

Net Increase In State Revenue $ 26.8 $ 36.4

OHA is directed to administer grants to fund the Addiction Recovery Centers (ARCs), which will offer 24 hour access to care every day of the year starting October 1, 2021. The grants will be awarded to ARCs for operational expenses as well as to organizations providing substance use disorder treatment, peer support and recovery services, permanent supportive housing, and harm reduction interventions to be provided free of charge to the recipient of the services.

The initiative requires the Legislature to provide $57 million in annual funding (with increases for inflation) for the DTRSF. Marijuana revenue estimated at $61.1 million in 2019-21 and $182.4 million in 2021-23 should be sufficient to meet this requirement.

The initiative reduces the marijuana revenue

distribution to cities and counties. The total reduction is $8.6 million in 2019-21 and $36.4 million in 2021-23.

Decriminalization of Certain Drug OffensesThe initiative decriminalizes certain drug offenses and transfers the savings due to lower spending on arrests, probation supervisions and incarcerations to the DTRSF to fund additional ARC expenditures. These savings are estimated at $0.3 million in 2019-21 and $24.5 million in 2021-23. This will reduce revenue transferred from the Department of Corrections for local government community corrections by $0.3 million in 2019-21 and $24.5 million in 2021-23. The savings are expected to increase beyond the 2021-23 biennium.
