Minutes of the July 3, 2007 meeting were unanimously approved.
Mr. Schrader distributed requested report on the impact of leasing versus buying relevant to the Constitutional Tax Limit. He said that leasing is an operating cost and cannot be exempted from the constitutional tax limit calculation whereas debt service for construction can be. Leasing would impact with an increase from 86.1% to 86.3%. Ms. Tytler said this report will be distributed to all legislators.
Ms. Larkin reported information regarding the drive thru. She said that in 2006 there were 6569 license plates turned in and 2,518 renewals that would be appropriate drive thru transactions. She said that some transactions cannot be done through the drive thru and estimated it would be 16,000 transactions per year via the drive thru. She added that although not mandatory, the road testing area should be in close proximity to the Motor Vehicle Office. Mr. Daniels asked if any information is included to indicate that the consumer can use the drop off option. Ms. Larkin said she would like to do that. Ms. Tytler said that when we move services we need to promote the services available. Ms. Tytler recapped the figures to 300 transactions per week.
On motion of Mr. Cornell, second by Mr. Steger and all members voting aye, the committee went into executive session to discuss property acquisitions. Executive session commenced at 7:52 AM.
Meeting reconvened at 8:32AM.
Ms. Tytler said the plan will be that she and Mr. Parker meet with several interested sellers and will draft a spreadsheet prioritizing properties based upon criteria discussed that will be reviewed at the next meeting. Once narrowed down the committee will present it to the full legislature in executive session to get a commitment regarding the top choices to make a final selection. Mr. Parker questioned whether this needs to go to General Services for discussion. Ms. Tytler said that those members are part of the full legislature.
Next meeting is scheduled for Friday, July 27, 2007 at 7:30 AM to bring closure to DMV location.
Meeting adjourned at 8:44 AM.
