Sanctuary Continued from A1
from our neighbors in Eugene is that they're
considering it and we know some other districts
who have already been determined a sanctuary
district or are considering it so we're kind of
watching, we're going to begin talking about it,
we're not going to make a decision lickity-split
but we are going to consider it."
Oregon Revised Statute prohibits local law en-
forcement from using state funds to use force or
detain any individual soley based on their immi-
gration status.
Governor Kate Brown released the following
statement:
"President Trump’s recent Executive Orders
that divide and discriminate do not refl ect the
values enshrined in the U.S. Constitution or the
principles we stand for as Oregonians.
"In Oregon, where thousands have fought for
and demanded equality, we can not and will not
retreat. As Governor, I will uphold the civil and
human rights of all who call Oregon home. My
staff is studying the recent Executive Orders to
determine what effects they may have on Orego-
nians, and I will explore options to keep Oregon a
safe place for everyone. I am also in contact with
the Port of Portland and local authorities and am
prepared to assist if necessary.
"Now, more than ever, we must stand together,
guided by the enduring belief in freedom, liberty,
and justice for all, and make our voices heard.”

Gowing said Cottage Grove would be faced with
closing its parks.
“We would eliminate them, they won’t be open
to the public at all,” Meyers said. He noted the
cost of fencing and signage to notify the public of
the closures came with added liability of individ-
uals still choosing the access the parks despite
the barricades.
“What you’re going to see,” Meyers said, “is
cities selling the parks, getting rid of them. Be-
cause even if they close them, they still have to
maintain them and that costs money.”
Two separate bills, one in the house and one in
the senate, have earned the support of several
cities around the state as an alternative to SB504.
House Bill 2483 and Senate Bill 327 both ad-
dress the supreme court decision. SB327 specifi -
cally includes city employees under recreational
liability, a solution both Meyers and Gowing
support.
“There is an inherent risk at a park,” Meyers said.
“Tripping over a tree root while running, that’s a
risk in running. There’s a risk to recreating.”
Richard Meyer said. “And the court said, ‘Ok
city you’re out of it because of recreational lia-
bility but your employees are not.’ But what is a
city if not its employees?”
It’s Meyer’s contention that if SB504 passes,
cities around the state of Oregon could see a rise
in lawsuits.
“For us, in Cottage Grove, to fi ght a lawsuit, it
starts at $50,000-$75,000 just to get the attorney
on board and start the process,” Meyers said.
“Trial attorneys, and this bill has the support of
a lot of trial attorneys, know that and say, ‘We
can sue for $10,000 and they’ll settle for $5,000,
$8,000 because they don’t want to go to court.”
During an open town hall meeting with Senator
Floyd Prozanski and Cedric Hayden, Cottage
Grove Mayor Jeff Gowing addressed SB504,
telling the crowd its passage would lead to the
demise of Bohemia Days, bicycle paths and
farmers’ markets within the city.
Prozasnki said that while he wasn’t familiar with
the bill, he could not say whether or not he would
allow it out of the judiciary committee he chairs.
If SB504 were to become law, Meyers and
