Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

7. Consider and Take Action on Petition for Rule Change pursuant to Rule 1.8.3: Secretary Treasurer Smith moved to deny the petition for rulemaking filed by Mr. Davis as Section 3.6 of the District’s Rules contains no provisions related to fees. However, Section 8843.1515 of the District’s Act authorizes the District to collect a permit renewal application not to exceed $400, and the District’s fee schedule for operating permit and export permit annual renewals is consistent with that provision. Vice President Rogers seconded. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Aye: Linda Kaye Rogers, Carlos Torres-Verdin, Doc Jones, David Smith, Bruce Moulton Nay: None Absent: None.

This motion is scored as EXPANDS_GOVERNMENT (Impact Weight: 2.8/10). Under the Bastiat Liberty Watchdog Index, measures that increase tax rates or fee schedules, issue new debt or Certificates of Obligation, expand regulatory/zoning restrictions on private land use, or authorize unbudgeted spending expansions reduce an official's Freedom Score when voted YES (and reward dissenting NO votes).
