CITY OF DUNDEE,
YAMHILL COUNTY OREGON
CAPTION
CHARTER AMENDMENT TO CLARIFY URBAN RENEWAL PROVISIONS AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS
QUESTION
Should the Charter be amended to conform with state law and cap maximum urban renewal indebtedness at three percent?
SUMMARY
In 1998 Dundee approved an Urban Renewal Chapter in the Charter (“Chapter”). State law changes have been adopted since the Urban Renewal Chapter was passed, and ambiguities in the Chapter need to be resolved to clarify provisions of the Chapter. This measure, if approved, would resolve those ambiguities, conform the Chapter to state law, and clarify when and how an urban renewal plan would be voted on by city electors.
This measure if approved would repeal the current Chapter, and adopt a section that would limit the maximum urban renewal indebtedness to no greater than three percent of the total market value of taxable properties in the city. It would also cap urban renewal bonding and require voter approval for any bonds with a maturity date greater than ten years. The City would follow state law requirements for all other urban renewal matters.
