 VOTE YES ON MEASURE 24-154 
A YES vote for Measure 24-154 is a vote for 
responsible economic and community growth for Stayton. A YES vote 
for Measure 24-154 would add essential land to the city, benefiting schools, 
businesses and neighborhoods. 
																				
Here are just three of the important reasons to vote 
YES on Measure 24-154: 
										
										Voting YES on 
										24-154 benefits the community and the 
										new neighborhood will more than pay its 
										own way.
										
										· The 
										property developer will pay the full 
										cost of all city water, sewer and road 
										extensions, PLUS an additional $300,000 
										in City System Development Charges and 
										other street and water infrastructure 
										improvements and repairs. 
										
										· 
										Houses built on the land will attract 
										mature families who are less likely to 
										have school-age children, yet they’ll 
										still pay their full fair share for 
										schools and essential services. 
										
										· 
										Annexation of the land generates revenue 
										for city parks. 
										
										Voting 
										YES on 24-154 is responsible and 
										makes sense.
										
										· 
										Stayton needs to maintain available, 
										developable land for residences, keeping 
										the city in compliance with the 
										Comprehensive Plan and with State land 
										use law. 
										
										· 
										Stayton’s City Council has voted 
										unanimously to include the property 
										within the City boundaries, and this is
										consistent with all City land use 
										regulations and planning. 
										· The owner of the 
										property wants to be annexed. 
										· The 
										developer has an excellent 25-year 
										reputation and a solid track record of 
										building new neighborhoods that are a 
										positive addition to their community. 
										
										Voting YES on 
										24-154 is good for buisnesses and the 
										local economy.
										
										· New 
										home construction will keep or create 
										jobs, need for supplies and other 
										activity that will benefit local 
										buisnesses. 
										· 
										These new houses will become home to 23 
										families who will contribute to the 
										betterment of the community, share tax 
										burden, and support local buisnesses for 
										generations to come.  
										
Measure 24-154 is something positive that will benefit the community.
