HB 1494 -- REGIONAL RECREATIONAL DISTRICTS

SPONSOR:  Ervin

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Elections
by a vote of 12 to 0.

This bill provides that a regional recreational district board of
directors be elected in Clay County rather than appointed by the
county commission.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the district has not been able
to pass levies for operating the district because an appointed
board is not accountable, and the board members want to be
elected.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Ervin.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
