Mr. Papd asked if the comprehensive draft would displace other bills. Mr. Heuser was not sure. He said the Senate could negotiate with the House before forwarding the bill, or move the bill to the House and then negotiate. It would come down to negotiations between the Senate and House leadership. Mr. Heuser indicated the CCIGR would consider the comprehensive draft the following week. Ms. Bettman asked if any of the Ballot Measure 37-related bills would make progress in the coming week. Mr. Heuser did not think so. HB 3120 Ms. Taylor indicated opposition to the bill. Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to change the status of House Bill (HB) 3120 to Priority 1, Oppose. The motion passed unanimously. HB 3131 Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Klein said the bill authorized an owner or group of owners of an affected property to pay compensation on behalf of a public entity that intended to allow the use of property in lieu of compensation. It mandated that government give a group of property owners the ability to offer up compensation as opposed to the local government waiving a regulation. The City already included that authority in its code. The bill would require the City to provide the option and included new requirements for notice the City did not have in its code. Mr. Heuser indicated the bill had not yet received a hearing and one was not scheduled. Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of the bill to Neutral. The motion passed unanimously. HB 3132 Mr. Heuser indicated this bill, like the previous and following bills, was offered by Representative Phil Barnhart and it had not received a hearing and one was not scheduled. Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Klein said the bill addressed the area outside the urban growth boundary in that it regarded farm and forest deferral taxes. If a Ballot Measure 37 waiver was granted, the portion of the property receiving the waiver would no longer be subject to the property tax deferral. Mr. Pap~ left the meeting briefly. Ms. Taylor assumed the chair. Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of the bill to Support. The motion passed unanimously. HB 3134 Mr. Klein indicated the City had already adopted code regulations similar to those called for in the bill. MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 5, 2005 Page 4
