(1)

Within the jurisdiction of a boundary commission, a minor boundary change proceeding may be initiated as provided by ORS 199.490 (Procedure for minor boundary changes or transfers of territory). In addition, a city annexation proceeding may be initiated as provided by ORS 222.750 (Annexation of unincorporated territory surrounded by city) or 222.840 (Short title) to 222.915 (Application of ORS 222.840 to 222.915). Minor boundary change proceedings shall be conducted as provided by this section and ORS 199.490 (Procedure for minor boundary changes or transfers of territory) to 199.534 (Legislative annexation of territory to cities and districts).

(2)

ORS 222.111 (Authority and procedure for annexation) to 222.180 (Effective date of annexation), 222.460 (Procedures for withdrawal of territory) and the statutes of the state that govern annexation of territory to, or withdrawal of territory from, districts do not apply in territory subject to the jurisdiction of a boundary commission. However, a city annexation proposal initiated under ORS 199.490 (Procedure for minor boundary changes or transfers of territory) may include a tax differential proposal authorized by ORS 222.111 (Authority and procedure for annexation) (3). Notwithstanding ORS 199.490 (Procedure for minor boundary changes or transfers of territory) (2)(b), 222.173 (Time limit for filing statements of consent) (1), 222.175 (City to provide information on taxes and services when soliciting statements of consent) or any other requirement for obtaining consent to annexation, a city or district may use a consent to annexation contained in contracts authorized by ORS 198.869 (Annexation contract) or 222.115 (Annexation contracts) in formulating annexation proposals or petitions under ORS 198.855 (Annexation election), 199.490 (Procedure for minor boundary changes or transfers of territory) (2), 222.125 (Annexation by consent of all owners of land and majority of electors) or 222.170 (Annexation by consent before public hearing or order for election) for properties whose owners have signed such consents to annexation. ORS 222.530 (Procedure for division of assets on withdrawal of part of district) shall not apply in territory subject to the jurisdiction of a boundary commission unless the affected territory constitutes at least 60 percent of the area and 60 percent of the assessed value of the district.

(3)

Notwithstanding any charter or statutory provision to the contrary, a final order or a proclamation of a boundary commission declaring a minor boundary change approved is effective to change the boundary of the city or district without the necessity of any further action by the electors or the governing body of the city or district.

Notes of Decisions

Use of consents to annexation contained in contracts for “formulating annexation proposals” allows application of consents toward satisfaction of majority-consent provisions. Johnson v. City of La Grande, 167 Or App 35, 1 P3d 1036 (2000)

Use of consents in contracts to formulate annexation proposal “for properties whose owners have signed such consents to annexation” does not limit scope of proposal to properties of consenting owners. Johnson v. City of La Grande, 167 Or App 35, 1 P3d 1036 (2000)
