Counsel: commission has rescinded abatement authority before; further legal research needed
Summary
Legislative counsel told the ad hoc pre-meeting she found 1980s resolutions where the commission rescinded abatement authority for a board; members asked staff to research whether rescission or dissolution of boards is available now.
Legislative counsel told the ad hoc committee she had found resolutions from the 1980s in which the county commission rescinded abatement authority previously granted to a board, suggesting rescission is historically possible. Counsel said she would review incorporation documents and prior laws to determine whether similar rescission or dissolution is feasible today for other entities that currently authorize pilot abatements.
Committee members asked staff to research legal pathways, including whether dissolving or rescinding authority would require city-county coordination in cases of joint agencies; counsel cautioned that the answer depends on each authority's founding documents and statutory framework.
