Agrees to all Terms & Conditions(Required)

Sec. 34-127. - Water service billing.
(a)All billings for water service shall be made monthly on the basis of the amount of water used during the previous monthly period, and the monthly base rate minimum (See subsection (c) of this section below). Amounts billed will not be reduced for loss of water due to waste caused by leakage of equipment of the customer, except as provided in section 34-409(a).
(b)If, for any reason, it is impossible or impractical to read the meter, consumption may be estimated, based on the previous history of use, until the meter can be read.
(c)The city shall commence charging the water base rate for all occupied property either 60 days after the water service becomes available or the day that connection is made to the public water system, whichever occurs first. The water base rate for all unoccupied property shall begin within 30 days after the property is ready for occupancy or on the first day of occupancy, whichever occurs first. All unoccupied property which is ready for occupancy at the time the water service becomes available shall be treated as occupied property. Once the water base rate has commenced, no credit shall be given for vacancy, unless a property owner gives written notice to disconnect from the water system per section 34.405.2.
(d)Water billing and collection procedures shall be performed as provided in article VI of this chapter.
(Code 2006, § 13.5.28; Ord. No. 1495, § 1(13.5.29), 1-25-2011; Ord. No. 1528, § 1, 3-11-2014)

Sec. 34-312. - Sewer User Charges.
(a)User charges shall be levied on all users of the public treatment works. The user charges shall, at a minimum, cover the cost of operation and maintenance, replacement, system planning and construction and other administrative costs of such treatment works. The user charge system shall distribute these costs in proportion to each user's contribution to the wastewater loading of the treatment works. The minimum charge shall be that cost equivalent to treatment of the wastewater from an average residential dwelling unit.
(b)There shall be assigned to each user an appropriate number of ERUs and this number shall represent the ratio of the wastewater produced by the user to the wastewater produced by the average residential dwelling unit; provided, however, that each residential user discharging only domestic waste into the sewer system shall be levied a user charge calculated on the basis of the use of one ERU per dwelling unit.
(c)The user charge shall be calculated by multiplying the total number of ERUs for each user by a constant cost factor. This cost factor shall be established from time to time by resolution of the City Council as provided in section 34-313
(d)Should any user believe that the user has been assigned an incorrect number of ERUs, that user may apply for review of the user charge as provided in section 34-316
(e)If it has been determined by the city that a user is assigned an incorrect number of ERUs, the city shall reassign a more appropriate number of ERUs to that user and shall notify that user of such reassignment.
(f)Records of all rates and the number of ERUs assigned to each user, as well as the wastewater characteristics forming the basis of the ERU, shall be kept on file with the City Recorder and shall be open for public inspection.
(g)The city shall commence charging the sewer user charge for all occupied property either 60 days after the sewer service becomes available or the day that connection is made to the public sewer system, whichever occurs first. The sewer user charge for all unoccupied property shall begin within 30 days after the property is ready for occupancy or on the first day of occupancy, whichever occurs first. All unoccupied property which is ready for occupancy at the time the sewer service becomes available shall be treated as occupied property. Once the sewer user charge has commenced, no credit shall be given for vacancy unless a property owner gives written notice to disconnect from the water system per section 34.405.2.
(Prior Code, § 71.220; Code 2006, § 13.12.4; Ord. No. 1495, § 2(13.12.4), 1-25-2011; Ord. No. 1528, § 2, 3-11-2014)

By checking this box, I have reviewed and understand the above Municipal Codes. Once the water and sewer user charge has commenced, no credit shall be given for vacancy unless a property owner gives written notice to disconnect from the water system per section 34.405.2.

Recordings ($20) All recordings will be blurred per ORS 192.345

Public records are writings containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business. Writings include handwritten, typed, photographed, electronic, or otherwise recorded words, letters, pictures, sounds, symbols, or combinations of these mediums.

There are numerous exceptions to public records laws that allow a public body to refuse disclosure of certain records (see ORS 192.314–192.338, ORS 192.345, and ORS 192.355). Public bodies are not required to explain or answer questions about their public records, nor are they required to create records where none exist.

Public bodies are required to make available for inspection and copying, subject to applicable exemptions, only those records that exist at the time the request is received.

The department may require up to five (5) business days to initially respond to your request. The first contact from the Police Records Office will advise you of the estimated costs involved in fulfilling your request.

Estimated costs must be prepaid before any additional work is performed. No public records request will be processed without prepayment of the estimated cost.

Once prepayment has been received, staff will contact you within ten (10) business days to:

Advise that the requested records are ready for review;
Provide a date when records may be reviewed, picked up, emailed, or mailed; or
Advise that the request is being denied.

If your request is denied, a written explanation of the reason for denial will be provided by the Police Records Office within a reasonable amount of time.

Full payment of all costs incurred is required before public records may be inspected or copies released.

You will be required to pay processing costs even if no records are found or if the records are exempt from disclosure.

Most records available for public inspection are the property of the Independence Police Department. Nothing may be altered, added, or removed from these records, and photographing documents is not permitted.

Allowing inspection or copying of public records does not waive or restrict any copyright, confidentiality, privilege, exemption from disclosure, or other legal rights associated with the records.

Is this request for the purpose of detecting or apprehending persons for the purpose of enforcing Federal Immigration law?(Required)

Yes

I have read and agree to comply with the above conditions.

I further agree to pay the costs of fulfilling this Public Records Request in accordance with the conditions set forth above and the fee schedule adopted by the City Council in effect at the time my request is submitted.

Records are released in accordance with Oregon Public Records Law (ORS 192). Certain records may be redacted or withheld if they are exempt from disclosure under state law.

These costs may include, but are not limited to:

Locating records (regardless of whether the requested records are found);
Reviewing records for exempt material;
Supervising the inspection of records;
Copying records;
Certifying records; and
Mailing records.

Ride Rules & Acknowledgements

Consent(Required)

The applicant named above hereby acknowledges and declares that this application is made with the following understandings
and stipulations.

1. The applicant will ride as a passenger in motor vehicles owned by the City of Independence and operated by employees of the Independence Police Department. Such transportation is furnished to the applicant purely gratuitously, as a revocable privilege, so that the applicant may observe the daily, routine operation of the Independence Police Department on patrol.

2. Routine patrol duties may involve the operation of the police vehicles in emergency conditions as authorized emergency
vehicles as permitted by O.R.S. 820.300. Such operation may involve greater than normal speeds, justified disregard of certain traffic control devices and rules of the road, etc. The circumstances requiring emergency operation may include, but are not limited to, pursuit of other vehicles and expeditious transit to suspected crimes in progress. Such circumstances are so varied that an exhaustive list cannot reasonably be compiled. Determination of when to operate a police vehicle as an emergency vehicle is within the sole discretion of the Independence Police Department and its officers.

3. Police work involves, by its very nature, many hazards beyond the power of the police department and its officers to control. At all times while riding as a patrol observer, the applicant agrees, without question or hesitation, to abide by the directions of the Independence Police Department given by its officers, and further recognizes that those directions may
not effectively eliminate risk to the applicant, which risk the applicant assumes.

4. The applicant recognizes that in an emergency, a police officer may not be able to both perform their duty and dismiss the
applicant from their presence, thereby subjecting the applicant to the same risks as are presented to the officer. The applicant recognizes and acknowledges assumption of this risk.

5. The applicant recognizes that criminal charges and/or civil suits arise from many of the situations that confront police officers in their daily work. The applicant agrees to keep confidential all observations and conversations which may merge as a result of their participation in this program.

Vacation House Check(Required)

The Independence Police Department provides complimentary vacation house checks for single-family residences and duplexes located within the city limits of Independence. Vacation house checks are available for periods of no less than 5 days and no more than 14 days. I further understand that vacation house checks are conducted as time and staffing permit.

While the residence is unoccupied, officers may conduct periodic inspections, which may include a perimeter check; physical and/or visual inspection of doors and windows; verification of vehicles left on the property; and verification of the identity of any individuals found on the premises.

This service is not available for locations:

• Which have someone staying at or regularly checking the property;

• Equipped with alarm and/or surveillance systems that are actively monitored or require owner response; or

• Are under construction, listed for sale, and unoccupied.

By signing this document, I affirm that I am the owner or lawful occupant of the listed property and designate all sworn officers of the City of Independence Police Department as my authorized representatives, solely for the purpose of conducting vacation house checks as described herein. I understand and agree that I remain responsible for appearing in court for any matters related to the enforcement of Oregon Revised Statutes or City ordinances at my residence during my absence.

In certain circumstances, if the security of the residence is in question, a police officer may need to enter the residence to conduct a safety sweep. Any entry shall be limited in scope and duration to address the specific security concern identified. By signing this form, I authorize sworn officials of the Independence Police Department to enter my residence for this purpose.

I acknowledge that this is a voluntary service provided at no cost and that it does not create a special duty or guarantee protection against loss, theft, or damage. I agree to properly secure the premises prior to departure, take reasonable precautions to prevent crime or other incidents, provide any relevant information that may assist officers, and notify the Independence Police Department upon my return. I also agree to hold harmless the City of Independence, its employees, and agents from any claims for injury, loss, or property damage arising from actions taken or not taken during this service.

I agree to the above.

Existing and proposed materials

A narrative that explains the project. The narrative should answer the following questions:

Why is the application proposed?

What historic materials will be impacted?
How has mitigation sequencing (avoidance, minimization and mitigation) been considered?
Please explain your investigation of each step of the mitigation sequencing process listed below:

Priority One - Avoidance of Impact

Please explain the alternatives that you considered to avoid impacts to historic features/materials, and why the total avoidance of the impact is not possible.

Example: If windows are proposed to be replaced for energy efficiency, please explain the alternative means that you considered to promote energy efficiency in the structure, and why those measures alone are not appropriate to promote efficiency.

Priority Two - Minimization of Impact

If an impact cannot be avoided, please explain how you propose to minimize the impact to historic features/materials.

Example: If a window replacement is necessary for bedroom egress, please explain how the impact will be limited to that window.

Priority Three - Mitigation of Impact

If an impact is necessary (following the consideration of the avoidance and minimization of a potential impact), please explain how you plan to mitigate the impact.

This should include a description of the existing materials that will be impacted, and a depiction of the materials that will be used.

Demolition or Relocation of Structure

If you seek to demolish a structure, please submit evidence to demonstrate that at least one of the following criteria is met:

Criterion A. No prudent or feasible alternative to the demolition or relocation of the building exists. Appropriate evidence may include financial estimates for construction costs, structural analyses, etc.

Criterion B. The building or structure is deteriorated beyond repair and cannot be rehabilitated to provide a reasonable economic return compared to other structures in the general area. Appropriate evidence may include structural analyses, development/remodel pro form as, market analyses of comparable real estate, etc.

Criterion C. There is a demonstrated public need for the proposed new use or development that outweighs any public benefit that might be gained by preserving the subject building. Please talk with the City Planner about what evidence might satisfy this criterion.
