ty jail as well as maintain county
services that would otherwise be
reduced or cut due to the estimat
ed $3.8 million shortfall mandat
ed by Measure 47 was passed by
voters in Tuesday’s election. As of
9 p.m., 32,806 people voted
against the measure and 31,298
voted for the one-year levy.
Official state results will not be
available until the beginning of
June, according to the Secretary of
State’s office.
Two state measures were on the
ballot. Measure 50, the rewrite of
Measure 47, passed in Lane Comi
ty by just under 4,000 votes.
While 33,173 voted in favor of the
measure, 29,992 voted against it.
Latest numbers released by the As
sociated Press at 9 p.m. on Tues
day said it passed with 368,082
“yes” votes, or 56 percent, to
290,484 “no” votes, or44 percent,
with 45 percent of precincts
throughout the state reporting. In
order for Measure 50 to pass at
least 50 percent of the eligible vot
ers in the state must cast ballots
and then a majority of those votes
must support the measure.
Measure 49, which modifies the
existing state prison work pro
gram requirements in the Oregon
Constitution, passed in Lane
County with 55,381 votes. The
measure passed overwhelmingly
in the rest of the state with almost

Money: Fund discussion will be deferred

than once.
Wiley said she believed many
citizens think urban renewal
money could be used to fund cul
tural and recreational programs.
However, Lew Bowers, city di
rector of community develop
ment, said state law mandates the
use of money collected for urban
renewal to fulfill the plans and
benefit the district. But if the dis
trict were terminated, Bowers
said, the money could not be used
to fund recreation or cultural ser
vices.
“People want to know is there a
quick fix or a silver bullet and the
answer is clearly no,” Bowers
said.
Complicating the issue even
further is the individual way ur
ban renewal districts are treated
under Measure 5, Measure 47 and
could be treated under Measure
50 if it passes. In addition to the
elections, the state legislature has
yet to define how urban renewal
is affected by Measure 47, Bowers
said.
“The one thing that seems con
sistent through each of these is
that there is very little to no mon
ey that will flow to the city’s bot
tom line by termination of the dis
trict," Wiley said.
With this uncertainty in mind,
City Council President Laurie
Swanson Gribskov said the coun
cil decided to defer the discussion
until June 18, when both the elec
tions and the legislature’s defini
tion will be clearer.
Gribskov said the council real
izes the city would not gain mon
ey in its general fund to add back
services by terminating the river
front district, but the issue in her
mind is what direction the city
wishes to go in regard to funding
the project.
