Oregon Statutes 451.440 – Plans for service facilities
(1) Prior to initiation of the formation of a district, the county court may cause engineering and program plans to be prepared. The plans may include:
Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 451.440
- County court: includes board of county commissioners. See Oregon Statutes 174.100
- 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
(a) Preliminary plans for the service facilities to be constructed or provided.
(b) Estimated costs of construction, maintenance and operation.
(c) Recommendations as to boundaries of the district.
(d) Recommendations as to use of any portion of the proposed service facilities for areas in the county outside the district at some future date and the portion of the cost of such works which should be borne by such areas when use is made of any portion of the facilities.
(e) Recommendations as to the extent to which the proposed service facilities may be integrated into other service facilities constructed or being constructed by other districts under ORS § 451.410 to 451.610 or by other public agencies and the fair and equitable amount of the cost of construction of such other facilities the district should bear.
(2) If a district is formed or granted authority to provide additional types of service facilities, the county court may require the district to reimburse the county for the cost of engineering and program plans prepared in accordance with this section.
