The sponsor's argument
Why Dean Murray says this is needed
The original law was created in 1934, and it has since been amended twice. We believe that the amendments proposed would create a much fair- er representation of the residents of the district and better serve the 2025 needs of everyone in the District. The legislation would achieve the following: Change the legislation to read that the five (5) member Garbage Commis- sion must be comprised of a minimum of two from the Seaview community and two from the Ocean Bay Park (OBP) community. The fifth commissioner could be elected from either of the two representative communities. Change the legislation so the elected Presidents of Seaview and Ocean Bay Park would also be appointed as Garbage Commissioners with same rights and privileges as the 5 elected commissioners therefore, making the Garbage District go from 5 commissioners to 7 commissioners properly representing the two taxable communities that comprise the District.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
