Comments: As written, it is difficult to determine the practical impact in Eugene. However, the intent <br />of the bill appears to be in conflict with the City’s adopted ordinance regarding <br />extraterritorial extensions. This bill would enable the extension of services (presumably <br />not from the city) to unincorporated properties inside a UGB under circumstances <br />inconsistent with Eugene’s local codes. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 4107 <br /> <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to recruitment of business; and prescribing an effective date. <br /> <br />Title: Requires Department of Revenue to distribute 50 percent of business income taxes <br />attributable to new business or expanded business to local jurisdiction that recruited new <br />business or expanded business. Requires Oregon Business Development Commission to <br />st <br />create registry to certify local jurisdiction as recruiting jurisdiction. Takes effect on 91 <br />day following adjournment sine die. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Sponsored by Representatives PARRISH, WINGARD, Senator DEVLIN; <br />Representatives BREWER, FREDERICK, GILLIAM, MATTHEWS, SCHAUFLER, <br />SHEEHAN, WAND, WEIDNER, WITT, Senator OLSEN (Presession filed.) <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/12reg/measpdf/hb4100.dir/hb4107.intro.pdf <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Larry Hill CS-FIN 1/31/2012 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: HB 4107 is not a very good idea. The terms used in the bill are ambiguous and the <br />administrative process would be complex. The process proposed in the bill would reward <br />some cities that successfully gain new investment from outside their boundaries with <br />increased state revenue sharing, but would not reward cities with growth by already- <br />established businesses within their boundaries. Cities with substantial available industrial <br />land would have an advantage over other cities. The state revenue diverted to "winner" <br />cities would result in weaker statewide services which benefit all cities. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />A. Nobel Flannery Denny Braud PDD-ADM 1/26/2012 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: The redirecting of business income taxes to jurisdictions that successfully recruit new <br />business investment could disadvantage communities that do not have industrial land <br />resources necessary to attract large investments, including Eugene. This proposal has the <br />potential to divert funds that are currently used state-wide in support of critical services <br />such as education and social services. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 4130 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to public contracting; creating new provisions; amending ORS 184.483, <br />279B.205, 279B.420, 279C.307 and 351.086; and declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />4 | Page <br />February 8, 2012 IGR Committee Meeting <br /> <br />
