<br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jamie Garner CS-FIN 01/14/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Oppose unless amended. <br />Comments: Based on the ORS 279A.010(z) definition of a Public Contract <br />I would suggest that the City oppose this HB unless Section 2(1) is amended to include a <br />dollar amount that would minimize inquires for small purchases, possibly a $50,000 <br />minimum, and it should be amended to put a limitation on the number of times an agency <br />is required to inquire because of multiple purchases from a single vendor. This HB could <br />apply to every purchase and disposal of property by the City which would be not only <br />time-consuming to research but I do not believe the DoR could keep up with the inquiries <br />based on the sheer number of purchases from just the City. <br /> <br />The definition of a Public Contract per ORS 279A.010(z) includes a sale or other <br />disposal, or a purchase, lease, rental or other acquisition, by a contracting agency of <br />personal property, services, including personal services, public improvements, public <br />works, minor alterations, or ordinary repair or maintenance necessary to preserve a public <br />improvement, but does not include Grants. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Larry Hill CS-FIN 01/20/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: I agree with Jamie’s analysis and recommendation. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Mike Penwell CS-FAC 01/14/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: I concur with Jamie Garner’s comments. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2554 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to the state transient lodging tax; prescribing an effective date; providing for <br />revenue raising that requires approval by three-fifths majority. <br /> <br />Title: Increases state transient lodging tax rate to 6.29 percent. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Introduced and printed pursuant to House Rule 12.00.
