ORS 222.905
Proposal or petition for annexation


(1)

If a local board of health believes that a danger to public health exists within a territory within its jurisdiction that is otherwise eligible for annexation in accordance with ORS 222.111 (Authority and procedure for annexation), the board shall proceed in the same manner as a city is authorized to proceed under ORS 222.860 (Proposal for annexation).

(2)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

Forty percent of the residents of territory otherwise eligible for annexation in accordance with ORS 222.111 (Authority and procedure for annexation) who believe a danger to public health exists within the territory may petition the local board of health to initiate proceedings to annex the territory as provided in subsection (1) of this section.

(b)

The local board of health shall investigate the matters alleged in the petition within 90 days after receiving the petition and shall either initiate proceedings to annex the territory or certify to the petitioners that the investigation disclosed insufficient evidence to initiate proceedings.
(3)(a)(A) At any time before the annexation of territory initiated under subsection (2) of this section is final, the petition shall be withdrawn if a number of petitioners described in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph provides the local board of health with a copy of an alternative plan that meets the requirements of ORS 222.885 (Alternative plan by petition or resolution) (1)(c).

(B)

The required number of petitioners under this paragraph is any number that, if subtracted from the number of petitioners who signed the petition under subsection (2) of this section, would reduce the total number of petitioners below 40 percent of the residents of the territory.

(b)

If a petition is withdrawn under paragraph (a) of this subsection before the Director of the Oregon Health Authority finds that a danger to public health exists in the territory under ORS 222.880 (Oregon Health Authority order or finding), the Oregon Health Authority and the local board of health shall terminate all proceedings under ORS 222.840 (Short title) to 222.915 (Application of ORS 222.840 to 222.915) with respect to the territory that was the subject of the petition.

(c)

If a petition is withdrawn under paragraph (a) of this subsection after the director finds that a danger to public health exists in the territory under ORS 222.880 (Oregon Health Authority order or finding), the alternative plan provided under paragraph (a) of this subsection shall be evaluated by the authority or the Environmental Quality Commission pursuant to the standards described in ORS 222.890 (Review of alternative plan).
