NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF BALLOT TITLE
FILED IN THE CITY OF ASHLAND
November 8, 2016, General Election
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a ballot title meeting the requirements of section 1(2) (d),
Article IV of the Oregon Constitution (one subject) has been filed with the City Recorder.
The ballot title has been prepared by the City Attorney and is as follows:
CAPTION: Approving requirement for City to produce new local clean electricity.
QUESTION: Shall Ashland produce 10% of electricity used in the City by year 2020 from new,
local, and clean sources?
SUMMARY: The petitioners for this initiative seek to help slow climate change by requiring
customers of the City of Ashland Electric Utility to support greater use of locally-
generated non-fossil fuel based electricity within Ashland.
The City of Ashland Electric Utility produces approximately one percent of the
community's electricity needs with local hydroelectric generation. The remainder is
purchased from Bonneville Power Administration, of which approximately 5% is
wind-generated, 80% is hydroelectric-generated, 10% is nuclear-generated, and 5%
comes from other sources.
This proposed ordinance requires that by 2010 10% of the electricity used within the
City of Ashland be generated from new, local and clean sources and that the City itself
be responsible for such production.
The City of Ashland presently does not own, operate, or have access to facilities to
meet the 10% local, clean sourcing requirement. To implement this proposed
ordinance, the City would need to reallocate or increase staffing and funding for capital
projects and operations.
ANY ELECTOR DISSATISFIED WITH THE BALLOT TITLE may petition the Circuit Court
seeking a different title and stating the reasons- the title filed is insufficient, not concise or unfair.
Petition must name as respondent the City Attorney and must be filed no later than the 7th day after
ballot title is filed with the City Recorder, May 13, 2016. The court shall review the title and measure
to be initiated or referred, hear arguments, if any, and certify to the city elections officer a title for the
measure which meets the requirements of ORS 250.035.
AN ELECTOR FILING A PETITION shall notify the city elections officer in writing that the petition
has been filed. The notice shall be given NO LATER THAN 5 p.m. on the next business day following
the day the petition is filed. ORS 250.296(2).
