Loss Of Driving Privileges
DMV has announced that based
on a review o f statute, the agency
must extend the loss o f driving privi
leges for some people who have
been convicted o f personal crimes
involving the use o f a motor ve
hicle.
The change affects persons con
victed o f m urder, m anslaughter,
criminally negligent homicide or as
sault involving the operation o f a
motor vehicle, under Oregon Revised
Statute 809.410.A 1995 amendment
to this statue changed revocation for
persons convicted o f these crimes
from five years to eight years, and
also changed the date that revocation
begins to the release date for persons
in jail or prison.
This amendment will now apply
retroactively to persons convicted
o f these crimes who were in jail or
prison, on parole or probation, or on
post-prison supervision when the law
went into effect on September 9,
1995.
•For those on parole, probation
or post-prison supervision for these
crimes as o f September 9, 1995, the
period o f revocation will end Sep
tember 9, 2003.
■For those who were in jail or
prison for these crimes on Septem
ber 9, 1995, the revocation period is
eight years calculated from the date
o f their release.
When the law first went into ef
fect, DMV applied it only to those
persons convicted on or after the
effective date, but not to those who
were already serving jail or prison
time, on parole, probation or post-
prison supervision.
Recently DMV reviewed its ap
plication o f the law when Steve
Doell, whose daughter was killed by
the driver o f a vehicle, called atten
tion to the fact that the driver would
have been eligible to get his license
back in N o v em b er 1998. The
driver’s license is now revoked until
March o f 2003.
“We appreciate Mr. Doell’s bring
ing this to our attention and helping
us make sure it was consistent with
lawmakers’ intent,” said DMV Pro
gram Services manager Mari Miller.
“It is clear that the legislature did
not want driving revocations to run
concurrently w ith jail or prison
time, and we have corrected this
policy as a result o f Mr. D oell’s
inquiry.”

On Wednesday, Jan. 27, pursuant
to a court order issued by the Clark
County District Court, the City o f
Vancouver, its agents and contrac
tors, will perform an abatement o f
cited violations o f the Vancouver
Municipal Code at 203 W. 20lh St..
Under the supervision o f Cindy
Peterson, Chief Building Inspector,
city employees from various city
divisions will direct the removal and
disposal o f improperly stored, dis
carded, or unusable items from the
grounds o f the property
Under the provisions o f the court
order, the City and its employees,
agents, and contractors may enter
onto the property to abate cited
violations. Additionally, the order
provides for restitution o f the ac
tual costs arising from the clean up.
City o f V ancouver cod enforce
m ent o ffic e rs, a ssiste d by the
Vancouver Police Department and
staff from the Public Works De
partment, will be present at the site
to carry out the provisions ot the
court order.
The abatement is being earned
out as a consequence o f numerous
failed attempts to bring the property
in to c o m p lia n c e . T he C ity
Attorney’s office has extended ev
ery possible administrative relief to
the property owner, but received
little or no cooperation over an ex
tended period o f time.
The City o f Vancouver Code En
forcement office has received nu
merous complaints from surround-
ing property owners related to im
proper storage, the accumulation of
items, and the affect that the condi
tion o f the property is having on
their property value.
On several occasio n s, street
maintenance crews removed private
property items from the sidewalk
and alley adjacent to the property in
order to remove obstruction to traf
fic.
It is anticipated that 20lh Street,
between Columbia and Washington
streets, will be closed during the
abatement. City residents should
direct inquires about this property
to Kevin McClure, Assistant City
Attorney, at 696-8251, or Cindy
Peterson, chief building inspector
at 696-8105.
