Re: state champ residence

In this age of downsizing, outsourcing, and multitasking, most folks who travel choose to get fat and take years off of their lives. The fallout of part-time residents, who are brave enough to rebel against this trend, should be welcomed with open arms, when they get the chance to do any OBRA race.

Additionally, this category of rider may have to pay for OBRA and USCF licenses, so please have a little mercy.

Just curious- Washington just had their state champs this past wked. what is their policy towards non-residents? Are you sure about the CA. not allowing non-residents (is that even what you are implying- I could tell for sure) ? Their instructions for entry makes it look like out of state entries are OK. Anyone know?

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.

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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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 ---- Mike Murray

From what I can gather the qualifications for the Oregon State
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

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 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.

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 them the State Championships and just calling them the OBRA
championships Candi

From what I can gather the qualifications for the Oregon State
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?

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.
