t'Hooft vs. Smith
County hopefuls differ on growth
Analysis by JACK CONDLIFFE
Of the Emerald
East Lane County voters should
have a clear choice between
moderate Lowell Mayor Bob
Smith and conservative Otto
t'Hooft for the county commis
sioner.
Smith, an Agripac supervisor,
and county employee t’Hooft
agree the main issue in their race
is local control of land use and
government decisions in general,
but their approaches are signifi
cantly different.
T Hooft favors passage of Ballot
Measure 10, which virtually
abolishes the state Land Conser
vation and Development Com
mission as a planning body with
teeth. T'Hooft says Measure 10
allows more local control of land
use planning decisions, and pre
fers the LCDC as an advisory
body.
Smith opposes Measure 10,
saying “I don’t want a void
created.” The Lowell mayor does
see changes ahead for the LCDC,
but proposes that the board be
half elected and half appointed,
instead of its present structure, as
a fully-appointed board. Smith
was critical of acreage limitations
which, for example, prohibit the
owner of a twenty-acre lot from
building a house for a son or
daughter. He proposes removing
acreage limitations.
The candidates also disagree
on what the function of the Lane
Council of Governments should
be.
"The county should reduce its
involvement in L-COG and do by
itself any jobs it could do itself,"
says t’Hooft.
He says that county govern
ment is closer to the people and
would do a better job of land use
planning now done by L-COG.
Smith disagrees. "We need
hard facts for any L-COG
changes,” he says. He criticized
the present county commission
ers for refusing to participate in a
recent review of L-COG s func
tions. "There is very little duplica
tion of functions," Smith says.
Smith says existing govern
ment structures allow for citizen
involvement. Citizen involvement
will work only if elected officials
allow it to work, he adds.
Smith says the county commis
sion threw citizen participation out
the window in the case of CETA.
The county Commission recently
overhauled the Employment and
Training Advisory Committee s
(ETAC) recommendations for
CETA jobs.
The county has again ruined
its credibility with citizen input,”
Smith says. “Here are citizens
who spent countless hours with
staff to make their recommenda
tions. People ask, Why the hell
should we participate?’ The
county commission should have
paid attention to the majority of
what the ETAC committee said,”
Smith says.
Smith has two goals if he is
elected. He wants to establish a
sunset ordinance for county
agencies which would phase out
those agencies automatically un
less the commission felt the
agency was essential. He also
wants to reestablish a county
general administrator, which the
present commission abolished a
year and a half ago.
T'Hooft has no specific goals
except that he wants ‘to see gov
ernment work.’ He criticized the
present county commission for
being excessively divided.
T'Hooft plans to spend $10,000
on his campaign, while Smith pre
dicts expenditures of $4,000.
