Council moves alcohol revenue distribution into top five, places infrastructure funding sixth
Summary
Councilors debated and agreed to swap infrastructure funding with shared-revenue/alcohol revenue distribution on their top-five list, citing local fiscal impacts and a roughly $300,000 redistributed fund referenced in the discussion.
Councilors debated whether to keep infrastructure funding in the top five or to elevate alcohol revenue distribution (shared revenues) after several members said alcohol-distribution formulas affect Keizer’s annual revenue. A councilor who pushed for the change said, “I personally would like us to put that in the top 5,” and the body agreed to add shared revenue/alcohol distribution to the five items they would submit to the League of Oregon Cities.
Mr. Brown and the mayor explained the LOC packet allows the city to flag items so LOC lobbyists and member cities can coordinate testimony quickly if related bills surface. Councilors referenced a recurring redistributed amount of roughly $300,000 per year on the OLCC side as one of the fiscal drivers for elevating the alcohol revenue distribution issue.
