FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§247.220 – Dissolution of a Public Water Supply District
Officials from the Kansas City Election Board state that if an election is held, the cost to
conduct an election in the Kansas City portion of Jackson County could be up to $800,000,
depending on when it is called and what other entities participate.
Oversight assumes the timing for an election to dissolve a public water supply district would
take place during a regular election cycle (April or November) to streamline any election costs
that would be impacted. Therefore, Oversight will assume no direct fiscal impact from this
proposal.
Officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator, the Department of Natural
Resources, the Office of the Secretary of StateJackson County Election Board, the
Platte County Board of Elections, the St. Louis City Board of Elections, the St. Louis
County Board of Elections, the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, the Osceola
Water/Wastewater District, the South River Drainage District and the Wayne County
PWSD #2 each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero
impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.
Officials from the Morgan County PWSD #2 and the St. Charles County PWSD #2 responded
to Oversight’s request for response but did not provide a fiscal impact statement.
Oversight assumes this proposal is changing the decree of dissolution of a public water supply
district from a majority of two-thirds of the voters of the district to four-sevenths of the voters of
the district. Oversight assumes no fiscal impact for this proposal.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other local election authorities, counties and utility districts were requested to respond
to this proposed legislation but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the
Missouri Legislative Information System (MOLIS) database is available upon request.
