HB 4027 PUBLIC HEARING
059	Rep. Alan Brown	House District 10. Testifies in support of HB 4027 which authorizes the Director of the Economic and Community Development Department to create up to five additional enterprise zones.
080	Rep. Butler	Notes that the expansion of enterprise zones would benefit construction and new jobs, but questions if it will be the state or local government that bears the cost of this incentive.
088	Rep. A. Brown	Asks if he is referring to the actual cost of the infrastructure.
089	Rep. Butler	Replies the actual cost of bringing this construction online.
091	Rep. A. Brown	Answers that it would be the local government.
093	Rep. Butler	Asks for verification that local government is willing to forego some local property taxes in order to enhance buildout and the creation of new jobs within the community.
096	Rep. A. Brown	Clarifies that the local government is foregoing taxes for new construction, not for existing properties.
101	Rep. Butler	Asks if this is strictly a local option that benefits local jobs.
104	Rep. A. Brown	Replies affirmatively.
108	Rep. King	Comments that he will probably have some questions about the fiscal impact when it is available.
113	Rep. Johnson	Notes that she is not familiar with how enterprise zones work and who has control. Wonders what the downside would be if a company received the abatements and then did not perform financially or declared bankruptcy.
125	Rep. A. Brown	Replies that he could not answer this question.
126	Rep. Johnson	States that understanding how the enterprise zones are administered and the impact if a company fails to perform is a key element in understanding the fiscal impact of additional enterprise zones.
136	Chris Chandler Di-Torrice	Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln County. Addresses Rep. Johnson’s question stating that there would be no tax abatement on a property that went bankrupt. Explains that the Oregon Employment Department, Tax Assessor’s Office and a zone manager enforce policy.
148	Rep. Johnson	Inquires what the agreement terms would look like, especially with regard to local individuals being hired.
158	Di-Torrice	Replies that the existing statutes do not specify that locals must be hired, but notes that most companies do hire locally.
163	Rep. Johnson	Notes that she is familiar with inducement packages in her area and states that companies have not performed as expected.
177	Di-Torrice	Describes a company that is currently waiting to expand in Lincoln county and hires strictly local individuals.
184	Rep. Johnson	Asks if that hiring policy is in writing.
186	Di-Torrice	Notes it is not in writing because it is not required in statute.
187	Rep. Johnson	Asks if she would expect to get it in writing.
188	Di-Torrice	Responds affirmatively.
190	Rep. March	Inquires if there is currently an enterprise zone within Lincoln county.
191	Di-Torrice	Answers one, which includes Newport, Waldport, and Toledo which has a hotel/motel inclusion for the benefit of Waldport. Notes that Lincoln City does not want to induce hotel/motel growth: it would be easier to create a separate zone than expand the existing one to approximately 50 miles with six cities having to sign off on any agreement.
207	Rep. March	Wonders if this is coming before the legislature now so as not to trouble the six cities with expansion.
211	Rep. A. Brown	States that expansion could occur only if the county was willing to expand that current enterprise zone. If they did not approve it, then legislation is needed.
216	Ms. Di-Torrice	Responds that Clatsop County, City of Turner and the City of Stanfield were communities who could not expand so they applied for a zone and passed the necessary ordinances
222	Rep. March	Wonders if placing two enterprise zones next to each other defeats the purpose of making them valuable.
230	Di-Torrice	Stresses that this program is limited to communities that are economically distressed and meet certain criteria.
239	Rep. King	Notes how the entire Oregon Coast could qualify as a distressed area.
243	Rep. A. Brown	Agrees that the coastal area is distressed and could benefit from these enterprise zones being created.
254	Rep. King	Inquires if new businesses might create Industrial Development Revenue bonds that would impact school funding.
273	Ms. Di-Torrice	Responds that this is seen as a separate issue because enterprise zones are not directly tied to bonds for economic development growth.
280	Rep. Kruse	Points out that bringing in new businesses should increase the tax base to offset any impact on school funding.
301	Rep. Johnson	Notes that applying for an enterprise zone is a competitive process.
326	Rep. March	Notes that the history of enterprise zone use has been in rural areas. Asks if HB 4027 adds up to five urban zones.
333	Rep. A. Brown	Explains that HB 4027 extends the number of zones under existing statute changing only the number.
367	Tom Brumm	Intergovernment Relations Manager, Oregon Economic & Community Development Department. Submits a letter in response to the effects of Industrial Development Revenue bonds and their impact on school revenue, (EXHIBIT G).
388	Chuck Bennett	Confederation of Oregon School Administrators, (COSA). Discusses the exclusion of the school system in an economic assistance package that included the City of Turner and Marion County that resulted in a $20.2 million loss of revenue to K-12 over the next biennium.
434	Brumm	Agrees that this issue needs closer scrutiny. Comments that new industry coming to an enterprise zone brings additional revenue.
TAPE 2, A
004	Tricia Smith	Oregon School Employees Association. Discusses how schools do not get additional revenue as a result of an enterprise zone being created, but they do get additional students.
022	Rep. Hayden	Comments that a business in an enterprise zone may not pay property taxes, but the employees pay personal income tax which help fund the schools.
036	Rep. Kruse	Suggests property taxes may be going down because people are moving for lack of work. Recommends looking at these enterprise zones from a long-view approach.
054	Rep. Butler	Comments on having additional students opposed to bare land.
068	Bennett	Notes that while growth is important, there should be time to address questions that have arisen with regard to the impact on K-12.
080	Chair Wilson	Closes the public hearing and opens a work session on HB 4027.
HB 4027 WORK SESSION
083	Rep. Butler	MOTION: Moves HB 4027 to the floor with a DO PASS recommendation.
086	Rep. Johnson	Clarifies the genesis of her earlier questions stating she is not opposed to the legislation, she just wants to make sure that there is proper administration from the Economic Development Department.
107	Rep. King	Expresses that it is appropriate to go forward with this legislation, but he is concerned about the immediate impact on schools.
125		VOTE: 5-3-1 AYE: 5 – Butler, Hayden, Knopp, Kruse, Wilson NAY: 3 – Johnson, King, March EXCUSED: 1 – Bates
130	Chair Wilson	The motion CARRIES. REP. A. BROWN will lead discussion on the floor.
131	Chair Wilson	Closes the work session on HB 4027 and opens a public hearing on HB 4025.
HB 4025 PUBLIC HEARING
143	Andy Anderson	Executive VP of the Oregon Farm Bureau. Testifies in support of HB 4025 which removes persons employed in agricultural labor from employee exemption in labor disputes. States the reason why this bill is being brought forward during special session.
203	Anderson	Explains the main components of the bill: · It puts agricultural employers and employees into the same law that governs other workers and employers in Oregon; · It declares an emergency; and · It sunsets in December of 2003. Explains the reason for the sunset in December of 2003 and why they want the interim task force to continue working on this.
249	Anderson	States PCUN stated they are interested in an independent task force. Explains that by passing this legislation it will provide the necessary rules to bargain in good faith.
278	Rep. March	Asks about the interaction of workers with the rule-writing process.
287	Anderson	Describes how the current board and rules are not equipped to handle agriculture.
318	Rep. Butler	Asks if removal of the exemption for agricultural workers gives them the same collective bargaining rights as factory workers.
326	Anderson	Says that is correct.
327	Rep. Butler	Asks if the current rules of collective bargaining are written in English or Spanish.
331	Anderson	Responds that as far as he knows they are written in English.
338	Rep. Butler	Expresses his concern that any participants in the rule-making process need to be able to understand the proceedings without a language barrier.
360	Anderson	Agrees, saying the state laws only cover those industries that are not covered by the National Labor Relations Act.
385	Ramon Ramirez	President of Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste (Spanish for Northwest Treeplanters and Farmworkers United), (PCUN). Submits testimony in opposition to HB 4025, (EXHIBIT H). Discusses why this organization is opposed to placing farm workers under the Employment Relations Board (ERB) who have no bilingual staff and no structure to deal with agricultural issues.
TAPE 1, B
023	Ramirez	States the bill is ill timed and all views should be fully explored. Explains that an agreement was reached with NORPAC only through a secondary boycott because farm workers are not covered under state law or the federal National Labor Relations Act.
053	Ramirez	Contends that the Oregon Farm Bureau has blocked collective bargaining for farm workers for the past 30 years, and only when a secondary boycott proves successful, the Oregon Farm Bureau favors legislation that would essentially prohibit secondary boycotts.
063	Michael Dale	Lawyer working with farm workers. Discusses how agricultural workers are different from public employees and therefore need a different set of rules. Questions the urgency for this legislation moving now rather than waiting until the 2003 regular session.
131	Brad Witt	Secretary-Treasurer, Oregon AFL-CIO. Submits prepared testimony, (EXHIBIT I). Discusses why this legislation will not provide for collective bargaining because it lacks a balance of power.
177	Rep. March	Asks is there a state whose statutes provide a good framework for collective bargaining that we should be looking at.
186	Dale	Responds that California has some experience there. Says there is no state in the country that incorporates farm workers into the general collective bargaining statutes as this legislation purports to do.
208	Pieper Sweeney	Farm owner in Dayton, Oregon. Testifies in support of HB 4025 saying that agriculture currently has no rules, which has allowed PCUN to come in and strong-arm the workers and growers.
276	Kandis Gilbert	Farm owner near Stayton, Oregon. Testifies in support of HB 4025.
303	Peter Kenagy	NORPAC Grower, Albany, Oregon. Testifies in support of HB 4025.
323	Sweeney	Adds a comment made by a member of PCUN that NORPAC was “a means to an end.”
337	Kenagy	Expresses frustrations about the growers and farm workers being in- the-dark about negotiations between PCUN and NORPAC.
359	Eduardo Angulo	Salem, Oregon. Testifies in opposition to HB 4025.
441	Steven Witte	Executive Director, Oregon Farm Worker Ministry. Testifies in opposition to HB 4025 saying a hastily considered bill is ill advised.

051	Tom Brawley	Marion County Farmer. Testifies in support of HB 4025. States he is one of 10,000 members of the Oregon Farm Bureau compared to 5,000 members of PCUN. States that his farm pays above the minimum wage, noting it is the second highest in the nation, and has a bilingual staff.
100	Doug Krahmer	Marion County Farmer. Testifies in support of HB 4025 explaining that this legislation will give all parties the same set of rules. Notes that Oregon passed a collective bargaining bill in the early 70’s, which was vetoed by the Governor.
127	Scott Ashcom	Oregon Association of Nurserymen. Testifies in support of HB 4025. States the agreement between NORPAC and PCUN should be kept separate from the Oregon Farm Bureau bill.
172	Rep. Butler	Asks what a secondary boycott would do to the most valuable crop coming out of Oregon nurseries.
181	Ashcom	Replies that a secondary boycott would have little effect on the larger nursery’s product because their product is not “branded.” Responds that this bill is the right thing for the worker.
207	Rep. March	Asks what other exemptions are provided for agriculture in labor law.
217	Ashcom	Discusses how most of the exemptions in agriculture have been eliminated and only exist for the smallest farm operations, if at all.
259	Marion Malcolm	Lane County resident working with human rights’ organizations. Testifies in opposition to HB 4025 saying this legislation should not be rushed through a special session, but should be determined by the interim task force working on this issue.
302	Michael Papadopolis	Retired mathematician from Corvallis with an interest in free speech. Testifies in opposition to HB 4025 saying that he does not want his free speech affected. States it is his opinion this is a free speech issue.

183	Rep. Kruse	Wonders if OHSU would be a more appropriate place for this task force rather than OECDD.
188	Rep. Hass	Responds that several parties are making recruiting calls but there is no strategy for coordinating interested parties.
195	Rep. Kruse	States conceptual support but expresses that the center for biotech research in Oregon should be OHSU.
203	Rep. Hass	Notes there may be disagreement on the location but a statewide coordinating strategy is needed.
209	Rep. Kruse	Expresses concern about a state agency doing something that another quasi-state agency OHSU has already invested time in.

027	Rep. Hayden	Asks if the state will be at risk for any significant expense in developing pharmaceuticals.
038	Rep. Hass	States he does not see how a task force could incur that kind of liability.
040	Rep. Hayden	Asks for the parameters of what biotechnology encompasses.
044	Boehringer	Explains what OHSU has been focusing on in this area – the human genome project. Details that after mapping the genome, the next process is to find the cure and discover how everything fits together. States to do that you take the science, the bio part, and map enormous amounts of data; this is the technology part. Notes that amazing speed and computer data processing equipment is necessary to compare which genes are turned on and which are turned off. States that OHSU is focusing on functional genomics.
059	Rep. Hayden	Inquires if there would be more beyond mapping the human genome and pharmaceuticals.
064	Boehringer	Responds that it is all inter-related.
071	Rep. Hayden	Asks if this would involve stem cell research.
072	Boehringer	Replies that is dependent upon the federal government for funding.
077	Rep. Hayden	Asks if any of the genome research involves human cloning.
079	Boehringer	Responds that the federal government will set the guidelines on that.
083	Rep. Hayden	Asks, for the record, if anyone testifying on this bill would state that human cloning would not be part of the mission of this task force.
085	Rep. Hass	Restates that the task force shall: “identify and study opportunities for promoting the development by private parties of specialized bioscience manufacturing facilities.”
093	Rep. Kruse	Notes that the human cloning argument will be decided at the federal level. Asks about the mainframe capacity to run these computations.
107	Boehringer	Responds he is not sure how many machines are currently used on the project.
113	Rep. Kruse	Notes that these machines are expensive.
116	Rep. Bates	Identifies areas of research that he would expect the proposed task force to be working on. · Identifying pieces of the genome that predict breast cancer, · Monitor blood glucose without the use of needles, · An implanted defibrillator. States the next step after research is to manufacture these items and this is the aim of for this legislation.
143	Rep. Kruse	MOTION: Moves to ADOPT HB 4026-2 amendments dated 02/25/02.
146	Rep. Hayden	Explains he is uncomfortable voting yes on the amendment due to his lack of knowledge, however if the amendment passes he will vote yes on the bill.
