I. SELF INTRODUCTIONS:
Introductions were made.
II. APPROVAL OF MAY 7, 1998, MEETING MINUTES
The minutes were approved.
III. WORK SESSION:
Staff advised the Task Force of progress made in contacting constituent
representatives of social care facility providers. Contact has been made with
both the non and for profit organizations for nursing facilities. No contact has
been made with representatives of adult foster care, residential care facilities
and facilities for the disabled.
The Task Force advised staff to invite all of the above representatives to any
future meetings, but to suggest that they come after the Task Force has
completed work on the substantive provisions of the ordinance. It was noted that
the Task Force will not re-visit issues already decided.
A. Review of substantive provisions of proposed ordinance.
Sec 190(A) - Staff reviewed the changes to this section made in accordance with
the Task Force's general direction at the 5/7/98 meeting. The Task Force
approved the changes as presented.
Sec 210 - Staff reviewed the proposed language which incorporated New Jersey
statute and Portland's requirements. Extensive discussion followed regarding the
efficacy and equity of the proposed language. The Task Force reached
consensus that the original Portland language would be adopted, with the
addition of a definition for "infestation" to the definitions section. Staff will
propose a definition for the 6/11/98 meeting.

Sec 220 - The Task Force reached consensus that 220(6) should be amended
to add language similar to that added to 190(A). Extensive discussion then
followed regarding 220(C). Points of concern included: ordinance should not
regulate the relationship between landlord and tenant and this is the first section
in the draft which would do so, landlords should provide for rubbish receptacles
and removal service and the appropriateness of stipulating receptacle
requirements for owner occupied dwellings as opposed to stipulating minimum
standards regarding the prohibited accumulation of rubbish. No consensus was
reached. It was proposed for future discussion that 220(B) be re-visited to
stipulate that interior accumulation of rubbish is prohibited (according to original
proposal) and 220(C) be removed. Staff will distribute this proposal with the
6/11/98 meeting packet.
Sec 230 - Subsections (A), (B) and (C) were approved as proposed. Discussion
continued regarding the second unnumbered paragraph regarding community
bathroom facilities. Concern was expressed over the requirement for one facility
per 12 residents and the ambiguity surrounding determining the number of
residents, as well as the appropriateness of that ratio. Discussion on this item
will be resumed at the 6/11/98 meeting.
B. Other
Bob Flug announced that this would be his last meeting and that Oregon Legal
Services would be sending a new staff attorney to future meetings. The Task
Force expressed its gratitude to Bob for his participation.

The next meetings were confirmed for 6/11/98, 1 pm - 3pm and 6/25/98, 11 am - 1 pm.
Future meetings will be determined as necessary at the 6/25/98 meeting.

The meeting adjourned at approximately 1:15PM.
Respectfully submitted,
David Scott
