HB2869 IMPOSES FEE ON RETAIL SALE OF STUDDED TIRES OR ON <br /> INSTALLATION OF STUDS IN TIRE - (Priority 2-Support with <br /> Amendment) <br /> <br />Mr. Jones revealed there is an identical bill before the Senate, SB842, and asked that the <br />position the committee takes on HB2869, extend to this bill. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to amend <br /> HB2869 and SB842 to raise the fee to $25.00, and change <br /> the status of the bill to Priority 1. <br /> <br />Mr. Jones stated that staff supports a fee of $25.00 as it pays for damage. However, he <br />opined that the bill may have better change of passage if the fee was set lower, i.e., <br />$10.00. <br /> <br />Ms. Brooks reported there is a hearing regarding the Senate version of the bill on March <br />23. She also noted there are four amendments currently under review to ensure its <br />passage. <br /> The motion passed 2-0. <br /> <br />SB3265 ABOLISHES LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION <br /> HAVING JURISDICTION IN LANE COUNTY AND LANE COUNTY <br /> LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FUND - <br /> (Priority 2 - Oppose) <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor opined that the Boundary Commission should be eliminated as it is an extra <br />layer of government. Mr. Lidz reminded the committee that the Council has adopted <br />policy to retain the Boundary Commission. Mr. Lidz also pointed out that City staff <br />would take on additional burdens if the Boundary Commission were to be abolished. <br />Ms. Bettman opined that the Boundary Commission prevents the Lane County Board of <br />Commissioners sole jurisdiction over whether the Urban Growth Boundary is expanded. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change <br /> the status of the bill to Priority 1 Opposed. The motion <br /> passed 2-0. <br /> <br />SB3301 AUTHORIZES FORMATION OF CUNTY SERVICE DISTRICTS <br /> WITH OVERLAPPING JURISDICTION IF DISTRICTS ARE <br /> AUTHROIZED TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT SERVICES.
