|||| LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF IDAHO |||| Fifty-seventh Legislature First Regular Session - 2003IN THE SENATE SENATE BILL NO. 1054 BY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE 1 AN ACT 2 RELATING TO HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES; AMENDING SECTION 40-106, IDAHO CODE, TO 3 REVISE THE DEFINITION OF "EXPENDITURE." 4 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho: 5 SECTION 1. That Section 40-106, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby 6 amended to read as follows: 7 40-106. DEFINITIONS -- E. 8 (1) "Erect" means to construct, build, raise, assemble, place, affix, 9 create, paint, draw or in any other way bring into being or establish, but 10 does not include any of the foregoing activities when performed incident to 11 the change of an advertising message or customary maintenance of a sign. With 12 respect to certain easements held by the state restricting the erection of 13 structures on certain lands, the state of Idaho and the department shall be 14 deemed to have waived such restrictions with regard only to each sign erected 15 prior to October 22, 1965. 16 (2) "Expenditure" means the awarding of a contract, franchise or author- 17 ity to another by a district, and every manner and means whereby the highway 18 district disburses district funds or obligates itself to disburse district 19 funds. "Expenditure" does not include disbursement of district funds to regu- 20 larly employed highway district employees, officials or agents, or for the 21 performance of personal services to the district, or for the acquisition of 22 personal property through a contract that has been competitively bid by the 23 state of Idaho, one of its subdivisions, or an agency of the federal govern- 24 ment. 25 (3) "Expense of the public" means the expenditure of funds for roadway 26 maintenance by any governmental agency, including funds expended by any agency 27 of the federal government, so long as the agency allows public access over the 28 roadway on which the funds were expended and such roadway is not located on 29 federal or state-owned land.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 12606 Grants to highway district the right already given to cities and counties to exclude personal service contracts from the definition of "expenditure". This legislation will allow highway districts the ability to enter into personal service contracts based upon competence and qualifications rather than lowest bid. A savings to the taxpayers of those citizens who reside within highway districts would be realized by streamlining the procedure. FISCAL IMPACT None to the general fund. Contact Name: Stuart 0.
