Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
We reverse. At oral argument, appel-lees conceded that the Measure 37 waivers themselves were not contracts and argued that they were evidence of a contract between the property owners and the County. However the waivers do not show that there was any offer by Jackson County, acceptance by the property owners or consideration. See C.R. Shaw Wholesale Co. v. Hackbarth, 102 Or. 80, 201 P. 1066, 1067 (1921). Indeed, the waivers disavow any promise to the property owners: "Jackson County does not promise Claimant(s) that Claimant(s) will eventually be able to put the property to any particular use." ER-63-7. Because there is no contract, appel-lees fail to state a Contracts Clause violation.
Nor does Measure 49 implicate separation of powers doctrine. The waivers were administrative decisions, not court judgments.
REVERSED.
