08:04 AM -- Department of Revenue FY 2009-10 Cash-Funded Requests

The meeting came to order. A quorum was present. Representative Riesberg introduced Senator Mike Kopp as a new member of the committee, replacing Senator Josh Penry, who is the Senate Minority Leader.

Ms. Roxy Huber, Executive Director; Mr. Tom Kitts, Deputy Director of the Colorado Lottery; and Ms. Kirstie Nixon, Director of the Motor Carrier Services Division; all of the Department of Revenue (DOR), came to the table to present two FY 2009-10 cash-funded requests. Committee members received descriptions of the Lottery Back Office System Migration project (Attachment A), and the Port-of-Entry Mobile Scale Replacement project (Attachment B), both prepared by Legislative Council Staff. Ms. Huber made opening remarks about both projects. Mr. Kitts gave a brief overview of the Lottery Back Office System project, then he and Ms. Huber responded to questions from the committee about the work to be completed in each phase and whether service to the public would be seamless between the completion of Phase I (funded as a supplemental request for FY 2008-09) and the start of Phase II (requested for FY 2009-10 funding). Ms. Nixon explained the purpose and use of portable scales, and spoke about the Port-of-Entry Mobile Scale Replacement project. She responded to questions from the committee regarding the repair and purchase costs for portable and semi-portable scales. Discussion ensued about the cost effectiveness of repairing scales versus buying new scales in light of the current economic climate and lack of funding for transportation projects from the Highway Users Tax Fund (HUTF).
