	Newport News-Times: Newport City Council discusses impacts of Measure 37
		A couple of months ago, City Attorney Chris Minor first discussed his concerns with that measure, telling the city council that it was "an iceberg on the horizon." This week he said, "We hit the iceberg." Minor added that he doesn't think Oregon voters had a full understanding of the measure when they approved it.
		Cities across the state are now scrambling to understand how the measure will affect their ability to maintain land use regulations.
		Because the way in which the city responds to Measure 37 claims could involve the city in a lawsuit, the city council decided to discuss further details in executive session - as it is permitted to do under Oregon public meetings law pertaining to potential litigation.

	Industry Update
		Newport City Council, finalists in the Planning Forum's Innovation of the Year Award 2004, have continued to work closely with Sabio to develop the call centre project into one of the most successful access centre projects within the UK’s local authority sector.
		Newport City Council (NCC), one of the largest unitary authorities in Wales, decided that a specialist access centre was the best means of addressing the e-Government initiative, and established a 50-agent centre in May 2003 as part of a broader programme to provide improved access for citizens.
		The departmental nature of the council created a lack of consistency in customer service levels across the different areas, and because the access to these was across a large number of telephone lines, internal ‘call bounce’ was a significant problem.
