Proposals for new or amended angling regula- tions are being solicited from the angling public for development of the 2005 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations. ODFW and Oregon State Police (OSP) already have developed angling regulation propos- als as part of this process. The last comprehen- sive review by ODFW, OSP and the public oc- curred in 2000 and af- fected angling regulations from 2001 through 2004.

The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will adopt changes from this extensive public review at its September meeting in Salem.

Construction will begin on Liquor license application RCC’s Table Rock campus process deadline extended After more than a year of negotiations, Grants Pass-based Rogue Com- munity College (RCC) has closed the deal on a new technical training center in White City near Medford. RCC President Rick Levine recently signed a $3 million contract to pur- chase the building for- merly occupied by Tyco Printed Circuit Group. The new RCC training center will be known as the RCC Table Rock Campus. The purchase involves an industrial building with 102,000 square feet of space on seven acres, plus 10.1 adjacent, undeveloped acres. Levine added that, “This new facility, which will become RCC’s third campus (there also is one in Medford) will allow us to serve an estimated 1,800 additional students.” The property was pur- chased through issuance of $5.5 million in Certificates of Participation. Up to $2.5 million will finance the first phase of remodeling the building. The college is applying for a $1 million economic development grant, and will pursue ad- ditional funding to cover the total cost of remodel- ing, estimated at $6.4 mil- lion. Occupancy is planned to being with fall term next year. After remodeling, the college plans to relocate several of its profes- sional/technical programs to the center, including construction and diesel technology. Other industry-based and workplace skills classes will be phased in, plus, general education classes such as math and English, as well as basic skills classes.

The Oregon Liquor Cont ro l Co mmi ssio n (OLCC) is loosening time constraints on the liquor license application process for local government, neighborhood groups and business people by amend- ing several administrative rules as required by Senate Bill 724, which took effect on Jan. 1. Local governments will now have 45 days, instead of 35 days, to rec- ommend approval or de- nial of new liquor license applications to be submit- ted to OLCC for final ap- proval. The 60-day timeta- ble for license renewals remains the same. Commissioners also started rule making and adopted a temporary amendment which allows an applicant to sell alco- holic beverages during the licensing process. Under the change, the agency director would be able to extend a 90-day temporary letter of authority by 30 days if the application process is still under way. Everyone is the age of their heart. - Guatemalan proverb - The League of Oregon Cities, City of Portland, OLCC, and others sup- ported SB 724 in the 2003 Legislature. Cities and neighbor- hood associations had complained that 30 days isn’t enough time for citi- zen groups to evaluate the impact of a proposed new liquor business, and then to offer input to city officials.
