Each petition is for a different area of land. The Clerk has certified the petitions, and staff has corresponded with the chief petitioner (Ron Thompson) extensively over the last nine (9) months regarding how to move forward. Initially, Mr. Thompson indicated that he intended to gather the requisite number of signatures in support of the petitions so as to avoid the need for an election on the petitions. However he has recently determined that collecting the necessary signatures is not feasible. So, an election will be required. For each petition, the electors will be those individuals registered to vote within the area to be annexed. The 2017 version of ORS Chapter 607 governs these petitions because they were filed with the County before the January 1, 2020 effective date of the 2019 Act that revised applicable state law. Under that Chapter, the Board is required to set public hearings on the annexation petitions and, if the Board approves the petitions, to call an election. The next available time for that election will be November 2020. The purpose of proposed orders 2020-018 and 2020-19 is to declare the Board's intention to hold public hearings on the petitions, and to direct that notice of the hearings be given in accordance with state law.
