RESOLUTION 18-044
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA OPPOSING HB409, AN ACT RELATING TO IDENTIFICATION; RELATING TO PERMANENT MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION; RELATING TO VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE RATES; RELATING TO CHANGES OF ADDRESS; RELATING TO DRIVER’S LICENSE FEES; AND RELATING TO FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOTOR VEHICLES.
WHEREAS, The City of Homer has approximately 110 vehicles that includes public safety, maintenance, harbor, road and heavy equipment and opposes the sections of HB409 which unnecessarily increases the costs of local government; and
WHEREAS, The proposed increase to municipalities for registration of required vehicles to provide essential services to their residents in this period of economic and fiscal crisis is unwarranted and unnecessary; and
WHEREAS, Arbitrarily raising fees on services does not increase efficiencies and productivity, and serves only to provide an increased cost burden on local government; and
WHEREAS, Additional increases in the cost of registering vehicles will require municipalities to make further cuts to their budgets that will affect multiple departments and or services to their residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Homer, Alaska, hereby opposes HB409, an Act Relating to Identification; Relating to Permanent Motor Vehicle Registration; Relating to Vehicle Registration Fee Rates; Relating to Changes of Address; Relating to Driver’s License Fees; and Relating to Financial Responsibility for Motor Vehicles.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Homer City Council this 14th day of May, 2018.
