Successes and Action Highlights

1.       Created a booth for the Marion County Fair which created lots of interest.

2.       Participated in the development and revision of the Marion County enforcement manual. This document guides the enforcement arm of the planning department in evaluating and prioritizing nuisance complaints.

3.       Alerted neighbors about Measure 37 claims near them.

4.       Filed ethics complaints against 2 Salem City Councilors resulting in an important delay to changes in the annexation ordinances. We plan to oppose at least one annexation proposal and perhaps challenge the entire ordinance this year.

5.       Monitor, on an ongoing basis, the <Big Look> and other land use related legislative committees.

6.       Comment on an ongoing basis on land use applications within Marion County.
