Comments: I agree with Denny's analysis. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Mike Penwell CS-FAC 01/14/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: This bill seems to counter to the intended use of enterprise zones and property tax <br />exemptions as tools to spur certain types of development in specific places by placing the <br />burden of prevailing wage rate requirements on private development subject to this bill. <br />Furthermore, it seems somewhat arbitrary to impose these requirements on private <br />development only when it occurs in an enterprise zone or receives a property tax <br />exemption. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Susan Mullett CS-HR 01/19/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Support recommendation of PW and Facilities. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Eric Jones PW-ADM 01/21/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Defer to other reviewers. The “public works” that are the subject of this bill are related to <br />buildings and affordable housing structures. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Amanda Nobel Flannery Denny Braud PDD-ADM 01/19/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Requiring payment of prevailing wage for enterprise zone projects will have an negative <br />impact on the effectiveness of the EZ program goal of promoting local economic <br />development and job creation. The value of a typical 3-year EZ tax exemption is <br />approximately 3% of the eligible new construction cost. Additional construction costs <br />associated with prevailing wage requirements for EZ construction projects could <br />potentially offset all of the EZ tax exemption benefits. No amendments would make this <br />better. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 2628 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to the application of prevailing rate of wage to public works projects; declaring <br />an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Defines “funds of a public agency,” for purposes of applying prevailing rate of wage to <br />projects for public works, to include tax credits or tax abatements that contractor engaged <br />in project for public works receives from state in connection with project. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By Representative SCHAUFLER <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2600.dir/hb2628.intro.pdf <br /> <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Larry Hill CS-FIN 01/19/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br />24 <br /> <br /> <br />
