FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Department of Transportation assume no fiscal impact.



Jasper County Commission members assume this proposal could result in cost savings for road districts as procedures to disinfranchise road districts are easier to accompolish. Savings are minor for election costs. The Commission assumes if the road district just quits, the assests of that road district could not be transferred to the County Common District. The equipment and funds from the disbanded road district could result in a savings of several thousand of dolllars. Officials stated that Jasper County currently has three road districts which are considering this.



Oversight will show fiscal impact to Jasper County road districts as $0 or Unknown savings. Oversight assumes any savings would be minimal.
