These services include deciding quasi-judicial land use applications and adjudicating administrative law cases, including civil infractions, the formation and assessment of local improvement districts, and animal regulation citations. Services also entail the provision of training to planning commissions and city councils in areas that involve legal notice, hearing procedure, government ethics, the Oregon Public Records Law, and the Oregon Open Meetings Law.
