Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife An Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist releases a sterile tiger trout into diamond lake to prey on invasive fish. A task force has recommended two possible sources of additional funding for the department. ODFW funding task force will suggest bottle, income taxes By Claire Withycombe Capital Bureau SALEM — A task force convened to suggest new sustainable funding sources for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have settled on two recommend- ed options that each take the form of tax surcharges — one on income and one on bever- age containers. The department is operat- ing on a biennium budget of about $370 million. A third of that comes from hunting and ishing licenses, a third from the federal government, and the rest for various state funds. The agency has faced a growing cash low problem, according to a 2015 audit by the Oregon Secretary of State’s Ofice. The task force identiied an additional fund- ing need of $79.9 million per budget biennium, much of which would go to conser- vation efforts, according to a draft of the task force’s report to the Legislature, released this past week. Task force chair Mark Labhart will present the sur- charge ideas to two commit- tees during the Legislature’s interim session next week. In a vote at its meeting Friday, the group was split in terms of prioritizing either of the suggested surcharges. The suggested bottle tax would be 2.02 percent ap- plied to the cost of a drink at wholesale on those contain- ers subject to the state’s bot- tle bill on Jan. 1. “This is intended to be applied to the cost of a bev- erage, rather than as an addi- tion to the beverage container redemption deposit for those containers subject to the bottle Bill,” the draft report states. It’s estimated that the bot- tle tax could generate $61.5 million in revenue in 2017- 19, as the tax would not take effect until Jan. 1, 2018, and $82 million in 2019-21, ac- cording to estimates prepared for the task force. The other suggestion the task force is making would be a 0.7 percent surcharge on individual tax returns, with an exemption for people who earn less than $20,000 per year. The task force decided to leave open for discussion how to retain a “base” of Oregonians who pay fees to hunt and ish; suggestions have so far included tax cred- its or exemptions for people who have hunting or ishing licenses. The income tax surcharge could generate $60 million in the 2017-19 biennium and $92.9 million in the 2019-21 biennium, according to es- timates that were prepared for the task force. Those es- timates take into account the possible exemptions for peo- ple earning less than $20,000 and people with ish and wildlife licenses. Jim Martin, a task force member and former ODFW employee, who now directs the Berkeley Conservation Institute at Pure Fishing, said Friday that the taxes would be “politically dificult,” but the task force had to com- municate the idea that failing to ix the agency’s “broken” funding model could under- mine “Oregon’s livability and future economy.” In order for either sugges- tion to take hold, lawmakers would have to pass legis- lation or refer the matter to voters in the form of a ballot measure. Irrigon man dies in Boardman shooting East Oregonian One man died Sunday night in a shooting in Board- man. Morrow County Dis- trict Attorney Justin Nelson in a written statement said the Morrow and Umatilla counties major crime team is seeking “a juvenile person of interest in the case.” Police responded around 9 p.m. to Wilson Road Mobile Home Park, 600 Wilson Road, Boardman, on a report of a male with gunshot wound.
