262.025 Procedure for joint operating
agency formation. A joint operating agency shall
be formed and come into existence by order of the Director of the State Department
of Energy in accordance with the following procedures:
(1)
The legislative body of each city and people’s utility district desiring to
form and be a member of a joint operating agency shall adopt an ordinance
declaring their intention and authorizing formation and membership. The
ordinance shall be effective only if submitted to the electors of the city or
people’s utility district voting on the ordinance at any general election or at
a special election called for that purpose. The ordinance shall include:
(a)
A statement of the purpose or purposes for which the joint operating agency is
to be formed.
(b)
A finding by the legislative body that the formation of a joint operating
agency is necessary or desirable in order to plan for and provide an adequate
supply of electric energy to meet the needs of the customers of publicly owned
utilities in Oregon.
(c)
A statement of the projected energy loads and resources relied upon by the
legislative body to support such finding.
(d)
A general description of the means by which the joint operating agency proposes
to accomplish its purposes, including a description of any specific utility
properties then identified as a proposed activity of the joint operating
agency.
(e)
A statement of the financial contribution, if any, to be made by the city or
district to the joint operating agency at the time of organization as a
condition of membership.
(2)
Upon such approval of such an ordinance or ordinances, each such city and
district shall file with the director an application to form and be a member of
a joint operating agency. The application shall:

principal business office, and the purpose or purposes for which it is to be
formed;
(b)
Contain a certified copy of the ordinance of each applicant city and district
as approved by the electors; and
(c)

for the entry of an order approving or disapproving an application.
(4)
In considering the application, the director shall give full and fair
consideration to all data, views and arguments submitted on behalf of the
applicants or any other interested person.
(5)
On or before the date fixed in subsection (3)(c) of this section, the director
shall enter an order establishing the joint operating agency in accordance with
the application if the director finds (a) that the statements set forth in the

operating agency is necessary or desirable to plan for or provide an adequate
supply of electric energy to meet the needs of the customers of publicly owned
utilities in Oregon; and (c) that adequate provision has been or can be made
for financing the activities of the joint operating agency. The joint operating
agency shall be established as of the date of such order.
(6)
If the director finds that the application is not in the required form or that
additional data is required to support the application, the director shall
enter an order so finding. Such an order shall not preclude the applicants from
filing a revised application based upon the same approved ordinances.
(7)
If the director does not enter an order as authorized under subsection (5) or (6)
of this section within 60 days after the date of publication, the application
shall be considered approved, and the joint operating agency shall be
established as of such 60th day.
(8)

262.035 Power of agency to require
financial contributions from members restricted; members contracting with
agency for services. (1) A joint operating agency
shall not have the right or power to levy taxes or to assess its members for
financial contributions. Each member city and district shall have the power to
contribute or advance to the joint operating agency, solely out of surplus
funds derived from utility operations, such sums as may be duly authorized by
the utility board of the city, if there is one and, if there is no utility
board, by the legislative body of the city or the district.

portion of its revenues to a joint operating agency solely because of its
membership.
(3)

there is no utility board, by its legislative body, enter into contracts with
the joint operating agency to purchase capacity, energy or services and, as a
part of such contracts, may agree to pay to the joint operating agency such
consideration and to provide such security as it may determine advisable. [1973
c.722 §4]
262.040
[Repealed by 1969 c.12 §1]
262.045 Procedure for modification of or
withdrawal from agency membership. (1) After the
formation of a joint operating agency, the legislative body of any city or
district not a member of the joint operating agency may adopt an ordinance and
apply to the joint operating agency for membership. Such an ordinance shall not
be effective unless approved by electors of the city or people’s utility district
as provided by ORS 262.025.
(2)
Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the joint operating
agency, as evidenced by resolutions adopted by their respective legislative
bodies and filed with the joint operating agency, an application for membership
shall be accepted. As a condition of approving such an application, the members
of a joint operating agency may require the applicant to make contributions or
commitments to place the applicant in substantial parity with the existing
members.
(3)
A member may not withdraw from a joint operating agency, nor may a joint
operating agency be dissolved, while the agency has outstanding revenue
obligations for which repayment provision has not been made. When a joint
operating agency has no such outstanding revenue obligations:
(a)
Any member may withdraw from the joint operating agency, but will thereby
forfeit any and all rights and interests which it may have in the agency and
the assets thereof unless the remaining members, by resolution of their
respective legislative bodies and filed with the joint operating agency,
unanimously consent otherwise; however, a member may not withdraw if, following
its withdrawal, the joint operating agency would have less than three members.
Any withdrawing member shall remain fully liable and responsible for all
contractual obligations incurred by it to the joint operating agency during the
period of its membership according to the terms of such obligations.
(b)
The joint operating agency may be dissolved by the unanimous agreement of the
members, as evidenced by resolutions adopted by their respective legislative
bodies and filed with the joint operating agency. After provision has been made
for the payment of all of the dissolved agency’s debts and obligations, the
members shall hold its remaining assets as tenants in common. [1973 c.722 §5]
262.055 Management of agency; directors;
officers; meetings. (1) A joint operating agency
shall be managed and controlled by a board of directors. The city’s utility
board, if there is one and if there is no such board, the legislative body of
each member city and district shall appoint a representative to serve as a
director on the board. However, if the joint operating agency has less than
four members, each member shall appoint two representatives to serve as
directors, each of whom shall cast one-half of the votes to which the member is
entitled as provided by subsection (4) of this section. Each member may appoint
one or more alternates to serve as a director in the absence or disability of a
representative. Each representative and alternate shall serve at the pleasure
of the legislative body of the appointing member, but no director shall serve
following the withdrawal of the appointing member. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law or city charter a member may appoint any of its officers and
employees to serve as its representatives and alternates. A joint operating
agency may provide reasonable compensation to its directors.
(2)
Each director of a joint operating agency shall act as a representative of the
appointing member and shall report to and be bound by the policy decisions of
the utility board or legislative body thereof, as the case may be.
(3)
The board of the joint operating agency shall adopt rules for calling and
conducting its meetings and carrying out its business and shall adopt an
official seal. All proceedings of the board shall be by motion or resolution,
and shall be recorded in the minute book of the board which shall be a public
record. A majority of the board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business; however, no motion or resolution shall be adopted unless the
directors voting are entitled to cast a majority of the votes of all members of
the joint operating agency.
(4)
At all meetings of the board, each member city and district shall have one vote
by virtue of its membership. The board of directors of a joint operating agency
shall provide by resolution for voting procedures which shall take into account
the relative population of the members, together with their contributions to
and energy purchases from the joint operating agency, and which shall provide
that the interests of smaller members will be effectively represented.
(5)
The board of directors shall elect a president, vice president and secretary,
who shall serve at the pleasure of the board. The officers shall perform the
duties delegated to them by the board.
(6)

their compensation, and for the duties of such other officers, agents and
employees. The board may appoint trustees, paying agents, depositories and
similar agents within or without the State of Oregon.
(7)
All meetings of the board of directors, except meetings on matters involving
the management of employees, and other labor matters, shall be open to the
public. [1973 c.722 §6]

subsection (2) of this section.
(2)
The board may delegate to the treasurer standing authority to make payments of
routine expenses as defined by the board.
(3)
Before the treasurer enters upon the treasurer’s duties, the treasurer shall
give bond or an irrevocable letter of credit to the joint operating agency in
an amount which the board finds by resolution will protect the agency against
loss, conditioned for the faithful discharge of duties and further conditioned
that all funds which the treasurer receives as treasurer will be faithfully
kept and accounted for. Any letter of credit shall be issued by an insured
institution, as defined in ORS 706.008. The amount of the treasurer’s bond may
be increased or decreased from time to time as the board may by resolution
direct. The surety on any such bond shall be a corporate surety authorized to
do business in this state. The premiums on the bond or the fee for issuing the
letter of credit of the treasurer shall be paid by the joint operating agency.
(4)
All moneys of the joint operating agency shall be deposited by the treasurer in
depositories designated by the board of directors, with such security as may be
prescribed by the board. The treasurer shall establish a general fund and such
special funds as may be created by the board, to which the treasurer shall

people’s utility districts.
(2)
A joint operating agency shall have the power to acquire, hold, sell and
dispose of real and other property, within or without this state, which the
board of directors in its discretion finds reasonably necessary or incident to
the generation, transmission and marketing of electricity, electrical capacity
or renewable energy certificates. However, such an agency shall not acquire or
operate any facilities for the distribution of electricity.
(3)
A joint operating agency shall have the power of eminent domain which it may
exercise for the purpose of acquiring property; however, a joint operating
agency shall not condemn any properties owned by a publicly or privately owned
utility which are being used for the generation or transmission of electricity
or are being developed for such purposes with due diligence, except to acquire
a right of way to cross such properties in a manner which will not interfere
with the use thereof by the owner.
(4)
A joint operating agency shall have the power to enter into contracts, leases
and other undertakings considered necessary or proper by its board, including
but not limited to contracts for any term relating to the purchase, sale,
interchange, assignment, allocation, transfer or wheeling of power with the
Government of the United States, or any agency thereof, and with any other
municipal corporation or privately owned utility, or any combination thereof,
within or without the state, and may purchase, deliver or receive power
anywhere.
(5)
A joint operating agency shall have the power to borrow money and incur
indebtedness, to issue, sell and assume evidences of indebtedness, to refund
and retire any indebtedness that may exist against the agency or its revenues,
and to pledge any part of its revenues. A joint operating agency may borrow
from banks or other financial institutions such sums on such terms as the board
considers necessary or advisable. A joint operating agency may also issue, sell
and assume bond anticipation notes, refunding bond anticipation notes, or their
equivalent, which shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times,
be in such denominations and in such form, be payable in such medium, at such
place or places, and be subject to such terms of redemption, as the board
considers necessary or advisable. The issuance and sale of revenue obligations
by a joint operating agency shall be governed by ORS 262.085.
(6)
The joint operating agency may apply for, accept, receive and expend
appropriations, grants, loans, gifts, bequests and devises in carrying out its
functions as provided by law. [1973 c.722 §8; 2007 c.301 §44; 2007 c.895 §15]
REVENUE OBLIGATIONS
262.085 Authority to issue revenue
obligations; procedure; rights and duties created by revenue obligations;
interest rate; exemption from state taxation; immunity from personal liability
in connection with issuance. (1) To
accomplish any of its corporate purposes, a joint operating agency shall have
the power to issue revenue obligations payable from the revenues derived by it
from its ownership of, or its participation in or contribution to the ownership
or development of, any one or more utility properties. The issuance of such
revenue obligations shall be governed by the provisions of subsections (2) to
(13) of this section.
(2)
The board of directors shall issue revenue obligations only by bond resolution.
The bond resolution shall specify the corporate purposes for which the proceeds
of the revenue obligations shall be expended, declare the cost of carrying out
such purposes as nearly as possible, contain such covenants, and provide for
the issuance and sale of revenue obligations in such form and amount as the
directors determine. In declaring such cost, the directors may include the
funds necessary for working capital, reserves, fuel and fuel assemblies,
interest during construction and for a reasonable period thereafter, the
payment of organizational and planning expenses, the repayment of advances and
such other expenses as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of
such resolution. The bond resolution may provide that utility properties
subsequently acquired or constructed by the joint operating agency shall be
considered betterments or additions to, or extensions of the specified utility
property, whether or not physically connected.
(3)
The bond resolution may provide for the establishment of one or more special
funds, and such funds may be under the control of the board or one or more
trustees. The bond resolution may obligate the joint operating agency to
deposit and expend the proceeds of the revenue obligations only into and from
such fund or funds, and to set aside and pay into such fund or funds any fixed
proportion or fixed amount of the revenues derived by it from any or all of its
utility properties or other corporate activities, as the board in its
discretion considers in the best interest of the agency. The board may issue
and sell revenue obligations payable as to interest and principal only out of
such fund or funds. In creating any special fund for the payment of revenue
obligations, the board shall have due regard to the cost of operation and
maintenance of the joint operating agency’s utility properties, and to any
proportion or amount of the revenues previously pledged as a fund for the
payment of revenue obligations, and shall not obligate the agency to set aside
into such special fund or funds a greater amount or proportion of the revenues
and proceeds than in its judgment will be available over and above such cost of
maintenance and operation and the amount or proportion of the revenues
previously pledged.
(4)
Any revenue obligations and the interest thereon issued against any fund
provided for in subsection (3) of this section shall be a valid claim of the
holder thereof only as against such special fund and the proportion or amount
of the revenues pledged to such fund, but shall constitute a prior charge over
all other charges or claims whatsoever, against such fund and the proportion or
amount of the revenues pledged to the fund. Each revenue obligation shall state
on its face that it is payable from a special fund, naming the fund and the
resolution creating it, or shall describe the alternate method for the payment
thereof as provided by the resolution authorizing the fund.
(5)
Any pledge of revenues or other moneys or obligations made by a joint operating
agency shall be valid and binding from the time that the pledge is made and
recorded in the minute book of the joint operating agency. Revenues or other
moneys or obligations so pledged and later received by a joint operating agency
shall immediately be subject to the lien of the pledge without any physical
delivery or further act. The lien of the pledge shall be valid and binding against
any parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against a
joint operating agency, irrespective of whether such parties have notice
thereof. Neither the resolution nor other instrument by which a pledge is
created need be recorded except in the minute book of the joint operating
agency, nor shall the filing of any financing statement under the Uniform
Commercial Code be required to perfect such pledge.
(6)
The revenue obligations issued under the provisions of subsections (1) to (5)
of this section shall bear such date or dates, mature in such amounts at such
time or times, be in such denominations, be in such form, either coupon or
registered or both, carry such registration privileges, be made transferable,
exchangeable and interchangeable, be payable in such medium, at such place or
places, and be subject to such terms of redemption as the board of directors
shall declare in the bond resolution.
(7)
Any resolution authorizing any revenue obligation, and any revenue obligation,
may provide for and contain such covenants in favor of the purchaser or holder
of such obligation as the board of directors shall determine to be necessary,
desirable, or convenient in order to secure and protect the obligation and its
purchaser or holder and to enhance the marketability of the obligation. Among
other things, such covenants may define events of default, provide for the
appointment of a trustee or receiver in the event of default, and provide that
any such trustee or receiver may take possession and control of any portion or
all of the business and property of the joint operating agency upon the
occasion of any event of default.
(8)
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the revenue obligations issued by a
joint operating agency may be sold by the board of directors upon such terms
and conditions and at such rate or rates of interest and for such price or
prices as it may consider most advantageous to the joint operating agency, with
or without public bidding. The board of directors may make contracts for the
future sale from time to time of revenue obligations by which the contract
purchasers shall be committed to the prices, terms and conditions stated in
such contract, and the board of directors may pay such consideration as it
deems proper for such commitments.
(9)
The board of directors may provide by resolution for the issuance of funding
and refunding revenue obligations in order to take up and refund any one or
more series, or portion of a series, of outstanding revenue obligations at such
time or times at or prior to the maturity thereof as it may determine. Such
refunding revenue obligations may be sold or exchanged at par or otherwise as
the board of directors determines is in the best interest of the joint
operating agency.
(10)
The board of directors may provide in any contract for the construction,
acquisition or improvement of utility properties that payment shall be made
only in outstanding revenue obligations at their par value.
(11)
All revenue obligations issued pursuant to this section shall be legal
securities which may be used by any bank or trust company for deposit with the
State Treasurer or a county treasurer or city treasurer, as security for
deposits in lieu of a surety bond under any law relating to deposits of public
moneys and shall constitute legal investments for trustees and other
fiduciaries other than corporations doing a trust business in this state and
for savings and loan associations, banks and insurance companies doing a trust
business in the state. All such revenue obligations and all coupons
appertaining thereto shall be negotiable instruments within the meaning of and
for all purposes of the law of this state.
(12)
All revenue obligations issued pursuant to this section, the interest thereon,
and investment income therefrom shall be exempt from
all taxes levied by the state, its agencies, instrumentalities, and political
subdivisions.
(13)
Neither the board of directors of the joint operating agency nor any person
executing any revenue obligation or other evidence of indebtedness shall be
liable personally thereon or shall be subject to personal liability or
accountability by reason of the issuance thereof. [1973 c.722 §9]
RATES
262.095 Rates for energy furnished by
agency. The board of directors shall establish
rates and collect charges for electric power and energy and related services
sold, furnished or supplied by the joint operating agency. Such rates and
charges shall be fair, nondiscriminatory and at least adequate to provide
revenues sufficient for:
(1)
Payment of the principal of and interest on those obligations of the joint
operating agency for which payment has not otherwise been provided;
(2)
All payments which the agency is obligated to set aside in any special fund for
the repayment of obligations and to provide reserves therefor;
(3)
Payment of taxes as provided by ORS 262.105; and
(4)
Payments for the proper administration, operation, maintenance, repair,
renewals and replacements of utility properties of the joint operating agency
and to provide reserves therefor. [1973 c.722 §10]
MISCELLANEOUS
262.105 Taxation of agency property in
same manner as private power corporations. All
property, real and personal, owned, used, operated or controlled by a joint
operating agency for the transmission, production or furnishing of electric
power or energy shall be assessed and taxed in the same manner and for the same
purposes as similar property owned, used, operated or controlled by private
corporations, other than electric cooperatives, for the purpose of furnishing
electric power or energy to the public. The joint operating agency and its
directors and officers shall be subject to the same requirements as are
provided by law in respect to such assessment and taxation. All taxes so levied
shall be payable by the joint operating agency out of its revenues as an
expense of its operation. [1973 c.722 §11]

262.115 and 308.505; severability. ORS 262.005
to 262.115 and 308.505 shall be liberally construed to effect its purposes. In
the event that any portion of ORS 262.005 to 262.115 and 308.505 is declared
invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of record, the remaining
provisions of ORS 262.005 to 262.115 and 308.505 shall nevertheless remain in
full force and effect. [1973 c.722 §13]
