It has been interesting to see all your responses. It you feel strong enough
about it, write it up as a rule change and submit to for vote for the annual
meeting. Besides just the idea you will have to have a way of implementing
and policing.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] state champ residence

For proof of residence:

If you race in wash or Ca, you have to have a USCF liscence, and that says
your state of residence on it. If that doesnt say oregon as your residing
state, then you shouldnt be able to do a Or state championship, or win any
Or state leaders jerseys in the NRC races. You should have to have a Or
drivers license I think. I think most everyone has one of those. I dont
see why we should feel bad about excluding people who dont live here.
California wont let you race in their championship races unless you live
there, I dont see why we should have it differently.

It looks like that check I write to the city of Portland every 3

months is doing something....

CITY OF

PORTLAND, OREGON Tom Potter, Mayor

TO: Commissioner Sam Adams

Commissioner Randy Leonard

Commissioner Dan Saltman

Commissioner Erik Sten

Auditor Gary Blackmer

FROM: Mayor Tom Potter

DATE: May 7,2007

SUBJECT: Additional One-Time Revenue for FY 2007-08 Approved Budget

OMF has advised me of S2 million in additional revenue in FY 2006-07

from higher than expected

business license receipts. These funds were received and reported

following the April 15 business

tax filing deadline. This will result in 52 million in additional one-

time funds for FY 2007-08. The

timing of this good news fits well with budget approval on May 16,

Council Execs met last week and developed a list of currently

unfunded priority requests to include

in the Approved Budget. These indude:

Wordstock Event S100,OOO Commissioner Sten

School/Family/HousingI nitiative S30.000 Commissioner Sten

* 2417 T Support for Fire $70,000 Commissioner Sten

Platinum Bicycle Master Plan S 100,000 Commissioner Adams

Artspartners S 100,000 Commissioner Adams

Bumside Couch Enhancement Planning $500,000 Cormmissioner Adam

These requests total $900,000. 1 am directing OMF to include these

items in the "change memo"

they are distributing today. We will use this as the basis for

approving the Proposed Budget as

amended by the change memo.

Additionally, the Parks Bureau is tabling $450,000 in requests for

Westmodand Park current1 y

included in the Proposed Budget until next year when engineering

studies are completed. Instead,

the change memo should reflect the following requests for Parks:

Tree Policy & Code Project $260,336 Commissioner Sal tzman

City Nature Trail Planning $45,379 Commissioner Saltzman

Parks Service Level Work S80,OOO Commissioner Saltzman

Westmoreland Stadium Engineering $65.000 Commissioner Saltzman

In addition to the requests that can now be funded, there are other

requests that are important to the

Council and the community and that have already received scrutiny in

the FY 2007-08 budget

process. I propose that these i terns should be considered for

priority funding in the fail BUMP if

additional one-time funds are realized at year-end. I'm also asking

OMF to include in the revised

financial policies that we'll consider in June a provision that

dedicates at least 25% of unanticipated

ending fund balance, as determined by OMF and reported in the fall

Budget Monitoring Process, to

capital expenditures as an important step to begin funding our unmet

asset management needs.

Here's a partial list, and I welcome your input on others, so that we

together develop a list of

requests that will be the first to be funded with any additional one-

time funds in the fall.

Additional cost of archives center at PSU above what's been budgeted.

Balance of original request for visioning and strategic planning,

once Council adopts the

vision.

Emergency operations center or regional training center facility

costs if sites are identified-

Funds that may be needed to acquire buildings or other assets that

Multnomah County may

not need, assisting the City in its needs for facilities while

providing the County with

additional one-time funds.

Yes that is indeed the rule. Out of our 2032 riders currently jut over 230

come from California or Washington. I have tried to get away from calling

The problem lies in defining "Oregon resident". Do people who live in

Vancouver and race frequently and only in Oregon count? What do we use as

proof of residence? Drivers license? What if they don't have one? Mailing

address? Anyone can have a PO Box. We have opted for the simplest

definition, annual OBRA member. Alternative definitions could be proposed.

If it's going to be a "State Championship" it could be just residents. But,
I

agree it would suck to exclude our neighbors (like Yreka also) who support
OBRA

every year. Maybe you should have to have a license at the start of the
season

to qualify for a Championship placing.

This may be a rare case since the championship race was in S. Oregon this
year

and more Californians came up. I just hate seeing OBRA people bumped out by
a

one time racer from Cali. Maybe we could charge them triple for an annual

license. j/k

why would someone from Vancouver count? i don't see why frequently racing

I see value on both sides. One could easily argue that if one races
frequently

in the Seattle area during the year that they should be eligible for the
USCF

Washington State Championship? I think a good compromise would be to
restrict

the Championship based on OBRA participation. The problem is coming up with
a

way to administer it.

I have nothing against frequent OBRA participants being eligible for the

Championships. It is that fact that anyone can just show up and buy a

membership and take home the Championship. There are other Championships

available for other riders from other organizations or levels. Historically
I

realize that this has not been an issue, but last year we almost had a rider

from the Tour of Italy win the regional title.

Before ya all get to upset about this matter.....Check out what the medal
says

"OBRA" Championship.....not "Oregon State" Championship. Like Candi said,
these

are "OBRA" championships not state championships.

That being said, I would suggest no one be eligible to win a medal after

buying the OBRA membership on the day of the race.......

I have nothing against frequent OBRA participants being eligible for the

Championships. It is that fact that anyone can just show up and buy a

available for other riders from other organizations or levels. Historically

realize that this has not been an issue, but last year we almost had a rider

Championships, in any event, is that the racer be an annual OBRA license

holder. Is that all that's needed? And has this been examined in the

recent past? The reason I'm asking is that this weekend at the Spring

Thaw, in at least one case, someone from Central California bought an

annual license and took home a State Championship medal (3rd place).

This just seems wrong to me. I don't know if he did it just for that

reason or he thought he might come up for another race. I didn't see him

listed as doing any other Oregon races.

Any thoughts on requiring a person to be an Oregon resident to qualify?

Because it is an OBRA Championship, not a state championship. Given the
fact

that the Portland metropolitan area includes Vancouver, I think those people

belong, and the Three Rivers team lives in Longview, just across the river
and

put on the Three Rivers Road Race in Rainier, Oregon. I do not think it
would

be fair to exclude them. In fact, there are people all along the Columbia
like

Dave Zimbleman who consistently race in Oregon, and OBRA was certainly proud
of

his National Championship. This is not to ignore people in Northern
California

who race in Oregon as well.

Lets not be parochial and welcome everyone, and if they are the better
racer, I

guess we have to live with it. I think we are the better for their

participation.

I realize that Washington has a different rule, but there is no reason to
follow

their narrrow perspective. Also, they probably do not have a large
contingent

of out of state racers compared to Oregon, so it may be less of an issue.

Hoooboy... let the smack-down start...

Many of us who live in Vancouver and race in OBRA because the nearest WA
race is

up North at Mason Lake.

Otherwise we are looking at making long drives to race 'in state'. As long
as I

have been a member (going on 15 years now), OBRA has never excluded based on

state of residence, nor should they. If a OBRA member lives in Washington...
or

Idaho... or California and takes advantage of what promoters have to offer,
then

they should be eligible to win OBRA Championships.
