Committee on Government
Overview
Removes the requirement that a project must be funded in whole or in part by voter-approved municipal bond proceeds for a city or town (municipality) to reimburse a telecommunications utility for relocation.
History
A telecommunications utility must receive reimbursement for relocation costs for construction projects in a municipality that is undertaken individually or jointly by an intergovernmental contract and is funded in whole or in part by voter-approved municipal bond proceeds that need to be relocated. If the telecommunications utility has existing land rights or its facility is in the right-of-way under a permit, the municipality must provide a location with equal rights to the previous location. If there are no existing land rights, the reimbursement for relocation costs is capped at 2% of the total project monies. The total project monies is the aggregate dollar amount of voter-approved municipal bond proceeds that fund a construction project from time to time (A.R.S. § 9-461.17).
