The purpose of this chapter is to accomplish the following regarding demands for compensation under Oregon Revised Statutes 197, as amended by ballot measure 37, passed November 2, 2004:
Process demands for compensation quickly, openly, thoroughly, and consistently with the law, enable present real property owners making demands for compensation to have an adequate and fair opportunity to present their demands to the city's decision maker; provide the city's decision maker with the factual and analytical information necessary to adequately and fairly consider demands for compensation, and take appropriate action under the alternatives provided by law, preserve and protect limited public funds; preserve and protect the interests of the community by providing for public input into the process of reviewing demands; and establish a record of decisions capable of withstanding legal review.
