KNOWS EVERY FOOTOFTHE TERRITORY On July 1, 1979 many changes in the operation and structure o f M ult nomah County government w ill go in to effect. The.se changes are a result o f a numher o f proposals form ulated by the M ultnom ah County Charter Review Commission and upproved by the voters at the general election iast Novembei. The new structure w ill provide on July 1st the position o f County Exe cutive and thereby abolish the position o f Chairman. Don Clark w ill become the County Executive. He will no longer be a member o f the Board o f Commissioners but w ill have the traditional executive powers o f proposal and veto. For the first time M ultnom ah County govern ment will have a true separation o f powers with the County Executive separate from the Commissioners. The County Executive w ill be elected county-wide fo r a four year term. Thus Don Clark who was just re elected to a four year term, w ill face the voters as County Executive in 1982. The other major change in County government is the establishment o f a Board consisting o f five County Commissioners each elected from a single member district. The County has been divided in to five equal districts. This in effect created a fifth Commissioner this past A pril. Effec tive July 1, then, the M ultnom ah C ounty Com m ission consists o f Dennis Buchanan, Position 1, all o f West M ultnom ah County; Gladys McCoy, Position 2, all o f N orth Portland and that portion o f N.E.

Portland below Burnside to 162nd; and G ordon Shadburne, Position 5, East Multnomah County. A ll commissioners offices become non-partisan, and when there are tw o or fewer candidates fo r a position, there shall be no primary election for that position. The name or names shall appear on the general election ballot. When there are more tMht two candidates for a position, alt riames shall appear on the primary election ballot. The two can didates receiving the highest number o f votes shall be declared nominees and their names shall appear on the general election ballot. Commissioners Dennis Buchanan, Dan Mosee and Gordon Shadburne w ill be up for election in 1980 and C om m issioners E arl Blumenauer and myself in 1982. Persons appointed to fill a vacancy as County Commissioner shall not be a candidate fo r election to that position. Other provisions o f the charter revision voted in last November include the appointment o f a charter review committee in 1983 to consider possible charter amendments to be voted on at the 1984 general election. Lastly on July 1st, the five Com missioners w ill have to select one o f their number as a presiding officer. They w ill also have to restructure the operation o f the Board to function more like a legislature. ‘The of PORTLAND" ★ Perk up your sdadsl a • ARM, RED, RIPE S TOMATOES • • A ■ ki $ • I U T TU C I.... .... — - O R fk.
