TITLE:
Ratification of letter of opposition: HB4030/HCR2052
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Retroactively approve the letter of opposition to HB4030/ HCR2052
Executive Summary:
Staff received a request to oppose HB4030 (Rates; fees; taxes; increase; moratorium) and HCR 2052 (Rates; fees; taxes; increases; moratorium), which would prohibit cities, towns, and counties from adopting, imposing, or collecting increased fees, transaction privilege taxes, and utility rates through June 30, 2030, unless approved on a statewide ballot by at least 60 percent of voters. The attached letter was shared with state legislators in early March. This would force cities to delay maintenance on critical infrastructure (increasing the cost of eventual repairs) and implement much larger and sudden rate spikes after the moratorium ends.
