different contractors they don't always work just for the same contractor but sometimes move around so that lets that contractor know that those people are qualified and licensed so i'm going to leave it there i'm not going to go expound on that much more because i know we will be revisiting this so i'm just going to leave it at that point that's just my discussion time thank

have an occupational license in that city so they're gonna still have a license of some sort if they work out of a city now if they work out of their own home that's gonna be a different situation so I kind of agree with what you're going here I'm not a hundred percent good with it but I can see where you're going with what it is but I just want people to know that they're still probably going to have to have a license if they're

ALC - Occupational Licensing Review Subcommittee — Dec. 18, 2019 (35:35)

I just have one thing I see where you're going with this and I don't have a whole lot of problem with that I agree with some things can be optional and people will want that shingle to hang up and if we look at most of these that are in a city they're gonna be required to

much time did you spend preparing your presentation and those slides? Most of

Legislative Joint Auditing — Feb. 28, 2020 (2:05:08)

here today for some reason. You were not informed as to why you were coming?

Legislative Joint Auditing — Feb. 28, 2020 (2:04:43)

and came up with the discrepancies, and you were unaware of it or had not made any attempt to review their findings? I don't know

Legislative Joint Auditing — Feb. 28, 2020 (2:04:10)

Representative Payton, you're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Powell, I'd remind you you're under oath. Did anybody above or below you in the chain of command come to you with questions or recommendations on how to make the books look better for the university? No. And you've stated earlier that you were unaware that these discrepancies were contained within the books? I hadn't seen that information until today. So legislative audit has done this audit

and apparently not very well, is that the fundamentals of the new tire program we believe are solid. We believe they're sound. The fundamentals are sound. The funding mechanism is a little off. That's our point. I could

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 2, 2020 (43:11)

attempting to make, just one more point on this, Mr. Chairman, the point we are attempting to make,

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 2, 2020 (41:39)

was on top of a base figure from the old formula that was inadequate so the calculation of three dollars and one dollar was based on faulty information the three dollar rim removal fee if you leave it alone the one dollar rim removal fee for used tires if you leave it alone will not generate enough money to run this program statewide particularly from the district standpoint if reimbursements are cut 10 percent

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 2, 2020 (41:07)

When the $3 rim removal fee and the $1 rim removal fee were put into the law, the research that was done showed that it would generate an additional million and a half dollars for the program that would be more than enough to cover the cost of the program. The fallacy in that, and I've talked to those who came up with the formula, was that the additional million and a half

I pointed out there? Here is the real-life situation of funding for the tire program.

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 2, 2020 (38:59)

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 2, 2020 (38:51)

or what's going on there? Well, we don't know. We continue to get calls from folks at DF&A asking us to tell them,

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 2, 2020 (37:27)

I mean, it is either that or it is somehow looking at an increased formula

City, County & Local Affairs Committee (House) — March 2, 2020 (36:33)

we haven't done any calculations on that the law and regulation 36 covers import tires and those other categories but that would be a question for DEQ we're just dealing with I would speculate and I'd like

are getting around it we have not speaking for blasky district only we have not seen an aggressive enforcement by the Department of Finance and Administration of RIM removal fee collection. Well, so
