Portland C om m unity College is
considering legal action against Yam-
bill County following the defeat o f its
$1 5 m illio n levy request there in the
Aug I I election I lx-measure was ap
proved by voters in M ultnom ah,
Washington and Clackamas coun
ties, bin was defeated in Columbia and
Yamhill counties I he Yatnhill election
was conducted by mail. PCC was not
notified the Y am hill vote would be
hehl bv m ail, and says il w ould have
used a different strategy i f il had
known how the election would he
mn.
The new vote-by-mail law approved
by the 1985 l egislature requires the
county clerk to notify districts 40 days
before an election in which mail ballot
is to be used. The new law was not
signed by G ov. Vic Atiyeh u n til July
13 and notification o f vote-by-mail for
the Aug. 13 election w ould have had
to be given by July 3.
I he PCC Board o f Directors has
asked college adm inistrators to ex
plore the possibility o f legal action.
I he Board is expected to address this
issue at its Sept. 9 meeting.
