Section 45-37A-56.20 Legislative Findings
Status: in_force

(a) The history of cities and the course of legislatures throughout America, including the Alabama Legislature, confirm that public welfare requires that cities of 300,000 or more population, and parking authorities thereof, be authorized to provide off-street parking facilities.

(b) The Law Review of National Institute of Municipal Law Officers (1968 Ed.) reports that prior to World War II there were almost no municipal off-street parking facilities, and that a survey made in 1966, covering 1,517 cities showed that “fully 48 percent of municipal parking spaces are located in off-street lots and garages.” State legislatures throughout the Union have provided for cities to furnish off-street parking facilities.

(c) By Act 90 of the 2nd Extra Session of 1965 (Ala. Acts, 2nd and 3rd Special Sessions, 1965, p. 119) this Legislature declared that because of the serious traffic congestion on streets of cities having a population of between 70,000 and 120,000 and the inadequacy of off-street parking facilities therein, public welfare required the Legislature to authorize such cities to provide off-street parking facilities, which Act 90 did.

(d) It is hereby declared that the free circulation of traffic on the streets of cities having a population of 300,000 or more is necessary to the health, safety, and general welfare of the public; that the greatly increased use of motor vehicles has caused serious traffic congestion on the streets of such cities; that the parking of motor vehicles has contributed to such congestion; that such congestion prevents the free flow of traffic through such cities, impedes effective firefighting and the disposition of police forces, and threatens irreparable loss in the values of urban property, which can no longer be readily reached by vehicular traffic; that parking facilities in such cities are grossly inadequate; that private enterprise has not been able to solve the problem, because private parking lots are frequently temporary in nature, located without regard for actual parking requirements, with vacant land being used for parking purposes in more or less haphazard fashion, to earn something from the land pending some construction thereon; that as a consequence of the extreme shortage of parking space in the central business districts of the city those operating parking facilities impose upon the public by charging grossly excessive and oppressive fees for parking; that the inadequacy of parking space is harmful to the public convenience, health,safety, and welfare; that the inadequate off-street parking spaces now existing must be forthwith supplemented by off-street parking facilities provided by public undertaking; and that the enactment of this subpart is hereby declared to be a public necessity which the public welfare and convenience require.

(b) The district attorney’s fee shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other fees or costs. The district attorney’s fee shall not be waived or remitted unless the party proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the judge that the party is not capable of paying.

(c) The district attorney’s fee may be expended, as the district attorney sees fit, for the payment of any and all expenses incurred by the district attorney for law enforcement and in the discharge of the duties of the office.

Section 45-2-82.42 County Salary Supplement - Circuit Judges and District Attorney
Status: in_force

(a) It has come to the attention of the Legislature that the present compensation of the circuit judges and District Attorney for the Twenty-eighth Judicial Circuit is somewhat below the average of that being paid to circuit judges and district attorneys in other judicial circuits in this state which have considerably lighter caseloads than the Twenty-eighth Judicial Circuit. Therefore, the Legislature intends through this section to provide that the compensation of the circuit judges and the District Attorney of the Twenty-eighth Judicial Circuit shall hereafter be consistent with that paid to circuit judges and district attorneys in similar judicial circuits in this state.

(b) Beginning October 1, 1987, all circuit judges and the District Attorney for the Twenty-eighth Judicial Circuit shall receive a county salary supplement in an amount, as hereinafter prescribed, which shall be in lieu of any and all other county salary supplements and expense allowances heretofore provided by law for such judges and district attorney. The total amount of such county salary supplement for such judges and district attorney shall be twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per annum payable in equal monthly installments from the general fund of the county containing the judicial circuit. Provided, however, that the payment of the full amount twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) of such salary supplements on October 1, 1987, shall be conditioned upon the county’s ability to pay such supplements as determined by the county commission from revenue projections and budget analyses. If the county commission deems that the county cannot afford to pay the full amount twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) of such salary supplements beginning October 1, 1987, then, the county commission shall phase in such salary supplements over a three-year period as follows:

Effective Phase In Date Total Amount of Supplement October 1, 1987 $11,000 October 1, 1988 $16,000 October 1, 1989 $20,000

It is the intent of this section that by October 1, 1989, that the total amount of the county salary supplements provided by this section for circuit judges and the District Attorney of the Twenty-eighth Judicial Circuit shall be twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per annum. Provided further, that the county commission may pay the full twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per annum supplement at any time they feel county finances can afford same.

At the time of making the monthly report, the taxpayer shall compute and pay to the designated collection agent the amount of tax shown due. A person subject to the tax who conducts business on a credit basis may defer reporting and paying the tax until after the person has received payment of the items, articles, or accommodations furnished. In the event the taxpayer defers reporting and paying the taxes, he or she shall thereafter include in each monthly report all credit collections made during the then preceding month and shall pay the amount of taxes computed thereon at the time of filing the report.

(b) It shall be the duty of every person engaged or continuing in a business subject to the tax levied by this part to keep and preserve accurate records of the gross proceeds of the business and other books or accounts necessary to determine the amount of tax for which he or she is liable pursuant to this part.

The Department of Revenue, if good and sufficient reason be shown, may waive or remit the penalty or a portion of the penalty.
