At its Monday, November 6 meeting, the Rainier City Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution 11-23-01. The resolution proclaims the City's call for the repeal of the provisions enacted pursuant to Measure 110.
Dubbed the "Drug Decriminalization and Addiction Treatment Initiative", that measure was passed by Oregon voters in the November 2020 general election. However, many local governments have passed similar resolutions calling for the Oregon Legislature to repeal or amend the measure due to its impacts on public health, safety and welfare.
Those municipalities include Clackamas, Polk, Marion and Douglas counties and the City of Medford. Other cities and counties are expected to pass similar resolutions before the Oregon Legislature convenes early next year for its short session.
Rainier's resolution was inspired by a discussion that took place October 10 during the most recent city/county dinner, in which multiple Columbia County leaders expressed concerns about the measure and its consequences.
