Chairman Powers, the bill sponsor, described the proposal as a local recalculation of permit fees. He said the last fee increase occurred in February 2005 and that the bill “recalculates the rate of the building permits” and applies a per-square-foot formula. In committee the sponsor described the change as “$2.50 cents per square foot for both,” and later answered a member’s example by saying a 1,000-square-foot house under the proposal would cost $500 — an exchange that produced inconsistent arithmetic during discussion.

Representative Sherrill asked the sponsor to confirm the calculation for a 1,000-square-foot house. Chairman Powers replied with the example amount and said the current flat fee had been $225 and was last raised in 2005. Ruben Stevens asked whether new revenue would fund only the property assessor’s office or flow to the county general fund; Powers said the sponsor had been told the increase is primarily for the property assessor’s office but that if collections exceed needs some counties route excess to the general fund.

Committee members pressed for whether other counties use square-foot formulas or flat fees; the sponsor said many counties use a flat fee and return to raise it periodically, and that the square-foot approach was intended to be more equitable. The clerk reported the committee vote as yes 5, no 3, present not voting 2. The chair concluded the bill will go out of committee.","House Bill 14-30, a local Union County bill to recalculate building-permit fees by square footage, passed the Private Acts Committee amid questions about the exact per-square-foot rate and whether added revenue would fund the assessor’s office or the general fund.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6087162,"Committee advances bill to remove Bartlett animal control from city charter",75,410215,485854,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2891307-0604a5779c231cc2c847e4f6ff3685b8&start=410&end=485","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2891307-0604a5779c231cc2c847e4f6ff3685b8/thumbnail_410215.jpg","/articles/6087162/Tennessee/Committee-advances-bill-to-remove-Bartlett-animal-control-from-city-charter","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6087162-b920a5df0713b0aab40feba59e765707/orig.mp4?Expires=1771057891&Signature=QaMoE4BmdlHPlFJ-JfOduk-9F4rCd7I12wzzep-iG045ExGwtJehaEfqrRJFuxdPKUtuFxkbEFZjP86yntpBy44kT6L-kHRKuRcImH~WxbO9LvPr~xrBtFWBtZMwRV56P0RmuF8s0ObEqO8AHy0~JdCZT6Q~zN~EGVqmHy5Yi-6N-ixeY58Hp7-uXVyFy6C8VWR75gwyRRthHxQDl19vBa0YAi4f0GCAK1mPbmyjcwH7Tz-IA4yNXJXpadTkT6d~d5l-Y6fFeiaLeCEQLRr5flmj01AME~btQuwteK98e4Vsznf1tZY7t9pwSIduEPu1aG5vgaj~atgJscYkRxj3ww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Private Acts Committee voted April 7 to report House Bill 14-36, which would remove the animal control program from the City of Bartlett’s charter and allow the local governing body to set animal-control practices by ordinance following local approval requirements.

Sponsor Representative Leatherwood told the committee, “This bill removes the animal control program from the city of Bartlett's charter, subject to 2 thirds local approval, allowing the local governing body to dictate changes to their animal control practices by ordinances going forward rather than having do it by charter change.”

During the committee discussion, Representative Hemmer interjected with a lighthearted question about pursuing a personal role; the exchange did not change the sponsor’s description. No formal amendments or additional legal reviews were recorded during the committee debate.

The clerk reported the committee vote as 10 ayes and 0 noes.

Sponsor Representative Reed told the committee the bill is “a 10 page document” intended largely as cleanup after a year of work, and said some changes are punctuation or wording rather than substantive policy changes. Representative Reed said he could not answer all specifics during his initial remarks.

Committee legal staff identified specific edits the sponsor described. Mark Dobie of the Office of Legal Services said the bill removes certain defined terms from the charter (including a reference to a city judge) and changes the disbursement policy so that “any expenditure in excess of $2,500,” the prior threshold, “shall have the prior approval of the board” becomes any expenditure in excess of $5,000. Committee members asked for section references during a brief legal review; staff pointed to Section 3 (definitions), deleted subdivisions A.5 and A.9, and to section 35 on page 9 for the disbursement change.

With no further questions for the sponsor, the committee voted. The clerk reported the vote as 10 ayes and 0 noes. The committee chair announced HB 14-38 passes and will move to the State and Local Government Committee.

The bill text was described in committee as largely technical cleanup; committee legal staff supplied the mapping to charter sections. No amendments were offered during the committee meeting.","The Private Acts Committee approved House Bill 14-38, a multi-page cleanup to the City of Erin’s charter that removes several charter terms and raises the board approval threshold for expenditures from $2,500 to $5,000.","actionData","errors"]
