HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 105
(By Delegate Paxton)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study
the issue of public protective services provided to private
residential subdivisions that have roads maintained by
homeowners association dues rather than public funds.
Whereas, The residents of these subdivisions pay taxes and
deserve the same basic protections as those living in public
neighborhoods; and
Whereas, These subdivisions are run by homeowners associations
and are thus considered private property; and
Whereas, These private subdivisions are attractive to
homeowners because they provided privacy, not found in other areas;
and
Whereas, Police, fire and other public protective services
should be provided to residents of these subdivisions in all
situations; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study the issue of public protective services provided
to private residential subdivisions that have roads maintained by
homeowners association dues rather than public funds; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2011, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
