RE: dill 216 Relating to Vehicle Registration
During the Finance Committee review of the referenced 13111, members expressed
concern regarding the use of the funds generated by the addition of an annual
registration fee and an increase in other related fees.
While we know that the Treasury Division is suffering from a shortage of personnel to
service taxpayers and internal customers, we had not yet identified the specific staffing
needs, pending Council review of our request.
The Treasury Division is currently reviewing the organization of the office duties and
anticipates that they will request an additional position. The office will be assuming the
management of a new improvement district with 400 properties. The billing and
collection of improvement district fees and management of the related bonds is
becoming increasingly complex and extensive, requiring many additional hours of work.
The division has assumed other responsibilities over the last year that also require more
employee time.
For your information we have attached a work paper showing anticipated revenue, if the
bill becomes law, as well as budgeted and additional estimated expenditures. If you
would like further information, please don't hesitate to call Mike Okumoto at x8303/.coq
