The Oregon Department of Administrative Services may enter into an agreement with the City of Salem for the furnishing of water and fire protection services to all state buildings in the vicinity of Salem. The rates and terms provided therein shall be equitable and shall not be higher than existing costs of the same amount of water to the state. In addition thereto, equitable payment, as agreed upon by the department may be made for fire protection or increased fire protection to state buildings outside the corporate limits of the City of Salem resulting from the improved water supply. [Amended by 1969 c.199 § 38]
Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 276.250
- City: includes any incorporated village or town. See Oregon Statutes 174.100
- Department: means the Oregon Department of Administrative Services. See Oregon Statutes 276.001
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
