Statute Text
Filing
of major boundary change order; effect of filing.
In a proceeding for a major
boundary change, a certified copy of the final order of the boundary commission
shall be filed with the filing agency from which the commission received the
petition. If the copy is so filed and:
(1) If the
commission approved the petition as presented or as modified, the proceeding
shall continue as provided by the principal Act; except that when a commission
considers and enters a final order on a petition:
(a) The city
council or county or district board need not call or hold a hearing on the
petition and shall not change boundaries as described by the final order of the
commission.
(b) An election
on the proposed change, if required under the principal Act, shall be held on
the next appropriate election date authorized under the principal Act or under
ORS 203.085, 221.230 or 255.345.
(c) The final
order, in a proceeding to merge or to consolidate districts or to dissolve a
district and transfer its functions, assets and liabilities to a county service
district, shall conclude the proceeding for all purposes; and the merger,
consolidation or dissolution and transfer shall take effect on the date the
order is adopted or at whatever date the commission specifies in its order
which shall not be more than one year after the date the final order is
adopted. A merger or consolidation to which this paragraph applies includes but
is not limited to a merger or consolidation under ORS 198.705 to 198.955 that
provides for joining a city to the surviving or successor district.
(2) If the
commission disapproved the petition, the proceeding shall terminate.
(3) If the
commission determines that a county service district subject to a determination
of public need for continued existence shall be dissolved, it shall enter an
order so providing and dissolution shall take effect at the end of the fiscal
year in which the order of the commission is entered. [1969 c.494 §14; 1971
