Statute Text
Special procedure for annexations increasing by one-half or more the area or
assessed value of taxable property within the port.
(1) This section applies when an
annexation would increase the area of a port by one-half or more, or would
increase the assessed value of taxable property within a port by one-half or
more. An annexation proposal subject to this section, if approved by the county
board, shall be submitted to the electors at an election which shall be held at
the same time as a primary election or general election.
(2) When the
county board orders an election on the annexation proposal, the board shall
adopt an order dividing or redividing the area of the port, including the
territory annexed, into five subdistricts. The boundaries of the subdistricts
shall be determined in accordance with ORS 777.155 and shall be described in
the order calling the election on the proposed annexation.
(3) At the first
regular district election following the effective date of the annexation, one
commissioner from each of the five subdistricts established under subsection
(2) of this section shall be elected. The terms of the incumbent commissioners
shall terminate and the terms of the commissioners elected under this
subsection shall commence as provided in ORS 777.160.
(4) If the
annexation is approved, the order proclaiming the annexation shall also
describe the boundaries of the subdistricts established as provided by
subsection (2) of this section. [1967 c.498 §2; 1971 c.647 §140; 1971 c.727 §§188,201;
