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.
