e governments when land appreciates through governmental decision. The sub- committee liked the concept of this leg1s1ation but felt that studies should be made to asce~tain the possibly far-reaching fiscal aspects of the pro- posal. H.B.2880 - Requires special parking and other privileges for disabled veterans. The subcommittee opposes the measure because (1) it would require unequal treatment of disabled persons, and (2) it would create enforcement prob- lems as pointed out to the subcomrndttee in a memo by Duane Bischoff, parking administrator. S.B.654 - Requires public reporting by all agencies of expenditures of Federal grants every six months. We oppose this on the grounds of fiscal impact and workload. S.B.75l - Would grant some powers to the Public Utility Commissioner to regulate service connection charges by public utilities, political subdivisions, and municipal corporations. Section 3 states. "No service connection charge...sha11 (3) be more than the actual cost of commencement of service to the person." As envisaged by the Bartle-Wells report the city would charge enough to recover the cost of the connection and also to defray a part of the cost of making sanitary service available to the property. The subcommittee would recommend the wording for Section 3(3) as suggested by Don Allen, public works director, "...be more than a reasonable share of the total cost of making service available to the person." The subcommittee recommends strong support for the following: S.B.672 - Enabling legislation to make it possible for cities and school districts to require developers to provide land or a fee where the proposed develop- e ment would create an impact on the schools or the parks system.
