ORS 403.350

  • requirements
  • election

(1)

The question of whether to change the method adopted by the district for nominating and electing board members must be decided by election. The district board:

(a)

May order the election on its own resolution; or

(b)

Shall order the election if a petition is filed as provided in this section.

(2)

Except as otherwise provided in this section, the requirements for preparing, circulating and filing a petition under this section are as provided for an initiative petition in ORS 255.135 (Prospective petition) to 255.205 (Retention of petition materials).

(3)

If the question proposes creation of zones or a change in the boundaries of existing zones, the following requirements apply:

(a)

The petition must contain a map indicating the proposed zone boundaries. The map must be attached to the cover sheet of the petition and may not exceed 14 inches by 17 inches in size.

(b)

Notwithstanding ORS 250.035 (Form of ballot titles for state and local measures), the statement summarizing the measure and its major effect in the ballot title may not exceed 150 words. The statement:

(A)

Must specify the method of nomination and election of board members from among the methods described in ORS 403.340 (Manner of electing board members).

(B)

Must include a general description of the proposed boundaries of the zones, using streets and other generally recognized features.

(c)

The order calling the election must contain a map of the proposed zone boundaries and a metes and bounds or legal description of the proposed zone boundaries. The map and description must be prepared by the county surveyor or county assessor and must reflect any adjustments made in the boundaries under subsection (6) of this section.

(4)

The map to be contained in the petition under subsection (3) of this section must be prepared by the county surveyor or county assessor. The chief petitioners shall pay the county for the cost of preparing the map, as determined by the county surveyor or county assessor. The county clerk may not accept the prospective petition for filing until the chief petitioners have paid the amount due.

(5)

Subsection (3) of this section does not apply if the question proposes abolition of all zones.

(6)

Before submitting to election a question to which subsection (3) of this section applies, the district board shall adjust the proposed boundaries of the zones to make them as nearly equal in population as feasible according to the latest federal census. The district board shall amend the ballot title as necessary to reflect its adjustment of the boundaries.

(7)

If the electors of the district approve the establishment of zones or a change in the boundaries of existing zones, board members shall continue to serve until their terms of office expire. As vacancies occur, positions to be filled by nomination or election by zone must be filled by persons who reside within zones which are not represented on the board. If more than one zone is not represented on the board when a vacancy occurs, the zone entitled to elect a board member must be decided by lot. [Formerly 401.839]
