JAN 1 1994 <br />BOOK 91 Fa,E 55 7 ` <br />Commissioner Macht thanked OMB Director Joe Baird for bringing <br />this matter to the Board's attention. Commissioner Macht felt we <br />should refuse to pay the administrative fee because this is just <br />another example of state -mandated costs. <br />Commissioner Adams reported that she had Faxed a reply to <br />Senator Kurth, Representative Sembler, and others telling them that <br />our alternatives to paying the State, which we have no intention of <br />doing, were to bill them a sizable maintenance fee since millions <br />of dollars of our County's taxes have gone to those parks, or ask <br />that they change it legislatively because it probably is an <br />interpretation of a rule by staff which was not the legislative <br />intent. <br />Commissioner Bird pointed out that as the other half of the <br />lease, we could back charge them for the expenses we have had. <br />Commissioner Adams emphasized that this is a bureaucratic <br />interpretation which exceeds the legislative intent. FACo has <br />reported that several counties are refusing to pay this <br />administrative fee. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, that the Board authorize OMB <br />Director Baird to write a letter to the State <br />telling them we refuse to pay an annual <br />administrative fee. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Macht noted that if we win this <br />one, it will make the next one easier. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />28 <br />The Motion <br />
