Statute Text
Intergovernmental vacation proceedings.
(1) Notwithstanding ORS 368.326, a county governing
body may vacate property that is under multiple public jurisdiction or that
crosses and recrosses from public jurisdiction to public jurisdiction if:
(a) Vacation
proceedings are initiated by each public body with jurisdiction;
(b) The public
bodies proceed separately with vacation proceedings or conduct a joint
proceeding; and
(c) Each public
body reaches a separate decision about the proposed vacation.
(2) Each public
body must reach a separate decision to vacate property under this section
before the vacation may be completed. If each public body has determined that
the property should be vacated, each public body shall issue a separate order
or resolution vacating those portions of the property under their respective
jurisdictions.
(3)
Notwithstanding ORS 368.326, a county governing body may vacate property that
is under the jurisdiction of the county and that is entirely within the limits
of a city if that city, by resolution or order, concurs in the findings of the
county governing body in the vacation proceedings.
(4) Public bodies
vacating property under this section shall each use procedures for vacation
that each uses for other vacation proceedings. [1981 c.153 §41; 1989 c.219 §1]
