Message from President / CEO

Roseburg Chamber, Business and Community Advocateby Debbie Fromdahl, President/CEO

The proposed Douglas County charter is not standard. And, it is far from being the gold standard. The Roseburg Area Chamber of Commerce should know. The Roseburg Area Chamber was first to do a thoughtful analysis of the proposed charter, compare it to the other nine Oregon counties under home rule charter and come out in strong opposition to the proposal.

The chamber has a long list of reasons for opposition. First, this charter was drafted by unknown individuals, behind closed doors without the opportunity for Douglas County citizens to review and provide input, not to mention the absence of media scrutiny. The chamber’s opposition is not with a Home Rule Charter form of government (say Lane, Josephine or Jackson counties) but, with the specific charter presented to replace our current county system of government.

At the chamber membership luncheon in October, Sheriff John Hanlin, clearly and effectively—with all nine Oregon county charters in hand—identified significant differences. In no county, except Clatsop and the Douglas County proposal, do charters contain language that could adversely impact public safety by creating potential scenarios where our Sheriff’s legal authority is jeopardized and he and his department could be obstructed from doing their job.

Further comparison of the nine charters to the Douglas County proposal shows other noteworthy differences detrimental to our county. The replacing of full-time paid commissioners with unpaid, part-time volunteer commissioners is not the norm when it comes to home rule charters. This change alone will increase both government bureaucracy and cost to Douglas County taxpayers; and, also loss of public access to elected officials, citizen input, accountability, representation and influence.

Countless discussions and decisions will be made out of the public eye and without important citizen participation. Like many residents of our county, the chamber appreciates the opportunity to openly advocate for or against issues, as well as monitor decisions and activities, provided under our current county structure. The public decisions by an elected body wholly accountable to residents will be replaced with decisions made by a highly-paid administrator or his/her new staff.

If passed, the unintended consequences of this county charter will result in loss of jobs and businesses, devastating Douglas County’s economy. It is evident to the chamber that many proponents of the charter are not supporters of our timber and wood products industry. Under the proposed charter Douglas County will lose influence and representation on state and national levels to the detriment of Douglas County residents and our long-term economic sustainability. It may very well jeopardize current advocation for environmentally-responsible management of our renewable natural resources that benefit all citizens, with extreme stances not serving the greater citizen population.

The Roseburg Area Chamber of Commerce represents businesses throughout Douglas County. Under this proposal, rural Douglas County is abandoned. Folks here often lament that we, rural Oregon, have little voice on statewide issues but, rather, are forced to live with the decisions of metropolitan Oregon. The creation of commissioner districts reflected in this charter will give Roseburg all the weight in decisions affecting our entire county.

Finally, the chamber takes issue with citizen loss of ability to vote for all county commissioners. Under this charter residents are only able to vote for one commissioner—the one in their designated district. But, all five commissioners—and a new county administrator—will make decisions affecting the lives and rights of Douglas County citizens. For these reasons and more, the Roseburg Area Chamber of Commerce will continue to actively oppose this charter in protection of Douglas County businesses, their employees and citizens.

The proposed charter is only “standard” when compared to the Clatsop County charter. And, as former Douglas County Commissioner Doug Robertson pointed out, in detail, at the chamber luncheon, Douglas County has nothing in common with Clatsop County. Using that specific charter as an example makes no sense. Neither does voting in favor of this proposal.
