new qualified assets except land pursuant to the exemption. My sources believe the applicants enrolled in the program prior to January 1, 2012 would be allowed to carry the remaining years of the exemption to term. These applications would phase out in 2016 then the land value would be the only thing reimbursed in most cases. Currently the June 2011 reimbursement is estimated at about $34M. Under this scenario the reimbursement would be down to about $500K for 2016. Bill History: 03-28-11 H Meeting set for 3:00 p.m., Room 412C, Capitol, House A&B Sub on Revenue and Tax 03-28-11 H Heard in committee and laid over House A&B Sub on Revenue and Tax 04-15-11 H Dormant pursuant to the rules County property transferred within set dates Remarks: CC cglc bill. Removes restriction on CC's transferring surplus property if they win reelection or do not draw an opponent. Bill History: 04-13-11 H Passed/Adopted (Vote: Y: 91/N: 1) 04-14-11 G Sent to the Governor 04-20-11 G Signed by the Governor county elections nonpartisan Remarks: County officers to run nonpartisian. Bill History: 01-31-11 S Prereferred to Committee Senate Rules 02-07-11 S First Reading 03-04-11 S Dormant pursuant to the rules Public construction requirements. Remarks: Okla. County Engineer says: Bad bill that must not be enacted. The State Department of Central Services is trying to take control of all projects using innovative design/build or Construction Management project delivery methods. This would put that agency in charge of our new Adult/Juvenile Detention Facility project. And we would have to pay them a fee! Or we would be forced into traditional Design-Bid-Build, the method with the most volatile change order potential. For example I am working on Change Order #8 for the Courthouse this week. Furthermore, my opinion, Central Services is not qualified to perform the job suggested in this bill. Just an example of government self interest and kingdom building. If passed, what is to stop them from adding Design-Bid-Build as well.
