Statute Text
Equipment pool; participation.
(1) The equipment pool operated by the forester and the State Board of
Forestry, which furnishes transportation and equipment for the various
activities and programs of the board, is for the acquisition, operation,
storage, maintenance and replacement of equipment. Notwithstanding any other
law, the forester, under the direction of the board, may:
(a) Determine
each activity or program of the board that shall participate in the equipment
pool, and in so doing, cause the transfer of moneys from the account
representing such activity or program in an amount determined advisable for
equipment pool purposes. However, in each instance the transfer of moneys must
be based on the proportionate use of the equipment pool, or the proposed use
thereof, by the activity or program.
(b) Transfer
equipment to the equipment pool, which items of transfer are owned by the State
of Oregon and under the jurisdiction of the board or forester. In such event
the records shall reveal the cash value of the transferred items as of the date
of the transfer.
(2) Forest
protective associations or agencies under contract or cooperative agreement
with the board pursuant to ORS 477.406 may, with the approval of the board,
participate in the equipment pool for the purposes of the contract or
agreement. Participation by such an association or agency shall be on the same
basis as an activity or program of the board that participates in the equipment
pool. [1965 c.253 §22]
