Representative Brown urges changed fee rules so mobile-home residents each pay fire district fees
Summary
Representative Brown told the local delegation that some trailer parks in unincorporated areas are charged a single fire-district fee for a whole parcel; HB19 would require fees to be assessed per mobile home so residents each pay their share. The delegation approved a favorable report by voice.
Representative Brown asked the local delegation to give HB19 a favorable report and said the bill addresses how fire-district fees are collected in unincorporated areas of the district.
Brown said some trailer parks that occupy a single parcel (for example, ‘‘a 10-acre parcel’’) are currently assessed a single fire fee for the whole parcel instead of a fee on each mobile home. "What has happened is you may have a trailer park that is a 10 acres on one parcel and they're only paying one fee when they should be paying a fee on each mobile home," he said, arguing that the bill would ensure each resident pays their share.
A motion to give HB19 a favorable report was made and recorded in the transcript; the clerk called the bill and a senator in the transcript voiced a favorable report. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or a named mover on the motion, and no vote tally was included.
The delegation took no floor vote beyond the voice favorable report at this session; the transcript records that the bill was advanced for further consideration.
