Redundant Executive Order 08/21 - Town Tier Revisions II

[HugeBob]

I, hugebob23456, President of the Commonwealth of Redmont,
hereby order the following revisions to towns and the town tier system.
​

AMENDED BY-LAWS
Towns can create by-laws. They can edit specific areas within their jurisdiction.

- Plot Zoning (Enforced by the DCT)
- Local elections + Council formation (if any) (Run by Mayor or DOS at Town's discretion)
- Plot Pricing (Actioned by staff)
- Town Constitution (Enforced by the town government in coordination with the DOJ)
- Town Building Regulations (Facilitated by town government)
- Transportation within towns (Facilitated by town government)
- Plot evictions within town jurisdiction (Facilitated by town government, reviewed by the DCT)
- In the event that any Town legislation contradicts any Federal legislation, the Federal legislation shall apply within the jurisdiction of the Town, unless such legislation expressly exempts the jurisdiction. Any Federal code which is not an Act of Congress, an Executive Order, or within the Constitution, such as department policy, does not take precedence over Town legislation.

AMENDED TIER SYSTEM
- There will be 5 tiers. The town can apply for an expansion via the DoS.
- Any Towns with a democratically elected Legislature that holds a reasonable degree of Legislative authority, at the discretion of the DOS on a case-by-case basis, may be eligible for a reduction in tier upgrade costs of up to $5,000.00 per upgrade, plus a reduction in price of tier 5 unlimited expansion of $1.00 per block. The DOS may issue a discount less than this amount if they deem it necessary.
- Any Towns with a democratically elected Mayor that holds a reasonable degree of Executive authority, at the discretion of the DOS on a case-by-case basis, may be eligible for a reduction in tier upgrade costs of up to $10,000.00 per upgrade, plus a reduction in price of tier 5 unlimited expansion of $1.50 per block. The DOS may issue a discount less than this amount if they deem it necessary.
- Any Town may be eligible to receive both discounts in the event that they qualify for both, with the only strict stipulations that the discounts may not be less than $0.00 nor exceed the upgrade fee. Any Town which has already been upgraded and later meets the requirements for a discount may seek reimbursements for previous upgrade costs, subject to the limits codified in the previous sentence, not including tier 5 infinite expansion fees. To be eligible for discounts, any elections must be handled by the Federal DOS.

- Town governments may create an eviction report for plots in their town which will be sent to the DCT who will review and potentially action the report, staff will be responsible for evicting the plot.
- Train stations, airports, and any other place of transit between the Towns and Hamilton, and their plots, shall be considered Federal Land.

Owner Veto

Owner Veto (Clause)
Towns remain limited to a 30 block height limit.
- The DCT or the Government have no active interest in maintaining the height limit and are therefore likely to approve all requests to exceed the height limit.
- All mayors over the course of the last 8 months have abided by the height limit without complaint. Some even support the height limit.
- Anything beyond 30 blocks belongs in the/a city - anything larger than 30 blocks is taller than the capitol building.
- We are in the business of building towns, not cities.
- Towns are encouraged to build structures specific to their town industry, not something to rival the city.
