Defer to Larry <br />Comments: <br />Hill's priority recommendation. <br />ContactRespondent Dept Updated Priority Policy Policy No Recommendation <br />Larry Hill Larry Hill CS-FIN 5/18/2009 Pri 2 Yes II. B9 Oppose <br />Comments:The amendments to HB 2699 do not eliminate the negative financial impact it would have <br />on the City of Eugene. The minority report and majority report are not substantially <br />different in this regard. By redefining private investments that receive enterprise zone tax <br />exemption as "public works", the measure would discourage community development <br />efforts by requiring prevailing wages to be paid on strictly private investments within <br />enterprise zones. This would probably discourage private investment by increasing both <br />costs and administrative burden on the private investor and would weaken the city's ability <br />to use an enterprise zone as an incentive to attract and focus private investment dollars to <br />the area of the zone. The measure also would impose higher direct costs on the City <br />because of the greater administrative burden associated with the measure's requirements <br />and higher fees charges to the enterprise zone's sponsors. <br />HB 2857A <br />Relating Clause: Relating to unlawful possession of a firearm. <br />Title:{ - Increases punishment for second and subsequent convictions of unlawful possession of <br />firearms.
