ASSUMPTION
Department of Natural Resources officials assume this proposal would not change their departments authority, therefore, officials assume no fiscal impact.
Oversight assumes this proposal would have no state fiscal impact.
Oversight assumes this proposal requires in counties of the first classification without a charter form of government, that whenever the County Commission would elect to establish a Countywide Wastewater Treatment Authority, the commission would appoint a five member Board of Trustees to operate the Wastewater District. Oversight assumes that counties would have no fiscal impact.
The Board of Trustees of the Wastewater District would receive no compensation, however, they would be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred conducting business of the district. The expenses would be paid from funds of the Wastewater District. Because establishing a Wastewater District is permissive Oversight will show fiscal impact to local government as zero.

DESCRIPTION
This act provides that if such countywide authority is established, the county commission shall appoint a five-member Board of Trustees, all of whom shall reside within the county. The Board of Trustees shall be responsible for the control and operation of the Countywide Wastewater Treatment Authority and all Chapter 249 sewer districts in the county, and shall have the same powers and duties as the County Commission is provided for ordinary Chapter 249 districts. The term of each Trustee shall be five years, except that the initial terms shall be staggered so that one term expires each year. All vacancies shall be filled by the County
Commission. The Trustees shall be reimbursed by the district for all reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties, which amount shall not exceed the sum of twenty-five dollars per month.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
