House of Representatives
Session of 2023 - 2024 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 14, 2023 03:32 PM
From: Representative Brian Smith
To: All House members
Subject: CIOC Municipal Purchasing Agreements
 
I will soon be re-introducing legislation from last session that would encourage and permit cooperative agreements and joint purchasing between municipalities and common interest owned communities.

In many cases, common interest owned communities maintain and repair their roads, recreational facilities, and stormwater facilities. These costs can skyrocket for these communities and their residents, and by law they are responsible for them.

One way to assist them in the upkeep and repair of these common elements would be to allow them to join with local municipalities, similar to a council of governments or COG, and bid to purchase necessary goods and services that the municipality also needs.

This could benefit both the municipality and the CIOC as it could reduce the costs of those goods or services.

Please consider cosponsoring this legislation. Thank you.
Former HB 1839


Introduced as HB499
