Richard Cheatum — Representative Cheatham moves to introduce RS 33264C1 and then asks whether the proposal would be retroactive if fees had not been collected. In the ensuing exchange, it is clarified that the proposal is not retroactive. Subsequent mentions of Cheatham are simply references within the same discussion.
Joe Alfieri — Joe Alfieri introduces himself and RS 33155, explaining that the proposal was brought forward by a county commissioner and concerns impact fees. Committee members then ask follow-up questions about how the fee would apply, whether it would be retroactive, and whether the bill is aimed at courthouses and county facilities or broader city/county disputes. Alfieri clarifies that the measure is specifically targeted at courthouses and county buildings, notes that it was prompted by a city’s decision not to collect the fee, and says he is not familiar with the broader local dispute. The exchange concludes as the committee returns to the motion on RS 33155 and thanks Alfieri after it passes.
Josh Wheeler — Representative Josh Wheeler moves to introduce the bill and then asks for clarification on whether a county-imposed impact fee applies only in the city where a facility is built or across the entire county. The response confirms that the requirement applies countywide.
