NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF BALLOT TITLE
FILED IN THE CITY OF ASHLAND
July 19, 2016
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: Support Legislature's efforts for significant improvement in Oregon's healthcare
system.
QUESTION: Shall Ashland voters encourage the 2017 Oregon Legislature to design an
improved comprehensive healthcare system for Oregon?
SUMMARY: The Ashland City Council has placed this advisory question on the ballot to
determine whether a majority of Ashland voters wish to encourage the 2017
Oregon Legislature to design an improved comprehensive healthcare system for
all Oregon residents. This healthcare system would ensure choice of provider;
have effective cost controls; provide timely and equitable access; emphasize
prevention and be affordable for families, businesses, and society.
The outcome of the election on this advisory question will not be binding; it will,
instead, serve to inform Oregon Legislature of the views of a majority of Ashland
voters.
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. Deadline is July 29, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. 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 with the Circuit Court. ORS 250.296 ' 2.
Barbara Christensen, City Recorder/Treasurer
