The Westfir City Council adopted Resolution 556 at the Aug. 5 meeting to opt into the state’s temporary restoration of recreational immunity described in ORS 105.668 as amended by Senate Bill 1576. City Recorder Nicole Tritten said the legislation allows cities with populations under 500,000 to opt in to limit liability; she reported the city attorney believed the resolution was not legally necessary but recommended it as prudent because the city's insurer prefers it.
Mayor D’Lynn Williams moved to approve Resolution 556; Councilor Edward Johnstone seconded and the motion carried, 5–0. The council recorded no objections or abstentions.
