Jenkin's bill which passed out of committee from the House last year remained in play and did not
need to be reintroduced. Rep. Haler introduced a bill that would have changed the Regional Public
Facility District dramatically. The Haler bill was revised to be more like the bill that passed out of
committee last year. In the end, the cutoff date was Friday and the bill did not make it out of
committee so it's dead for this session. Discussion followed.
The Board requested the next PPFD meeting be rescheduled to April 24, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. rather than
April 17, 2018.
Mr. Strebel noted the next Regional Public Facilities District Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday,
February 21, 2018 at 5:45 p.m. at the Richland Community Center. Not sure what the Board will be
discussing. The Regional Board had been waiting on the additional vote for The Link to happen. Mr.
Strebel will be attending this meeting. The City representatives on this Board are Mayor Watkins,
and Councilmembers Craig Maloney and Saul Martinez.
Also, with Mayor Pro-Tern Maloney now serving on the City Council, we are currently accepting
applications for the vacancy on this Board.
Mr. Kerr mentioned there is no decision on The Link funding, still an ongoing need, looking for other
options.
