Local Government Impact — Allows any municipality, by ordinance, to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the county or counties in which it is located to establish a joint zoning board of adjustment.

This bill authorizes the governing body of a municipality, by ordinance, to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the county or counties in which it is located to establish a joint zoning board of adjustment for a specific area designated in the agreement. The bill will become effective upon the signature of the Governor.

This bill will not affect state revenue or expenditures, but may affect local government expenditures if the participating local governments determine to establish a joint zoning board of adjustment. Therefore, the bill is assessed as having a conditional local government fiscal impact.

Local Government Impact

The establishment of a joint zoning board may reduce local government administrative costs by eliminating the need for each participating government to maintain independent zoning boards.

Spending Authority

This fiscal note would imply that no new state appropriation or spending authority is required for FY 1998-99.
