94-099 ALARM COpiTRACTORS LICENSING ACT OF 1991:
A contractor who qualifies for exclusion from the Alarm
Contractors Licensing Act of 1991 should file the affidavit
with the Alarm Systems Contractors Board when it can
determine that it derives less than 50% of its gross annual
revenues from the alarm systems business. Therefore, in the
case of a cont actor just entering the business, it is obligated,
assuming it qualifies for the exclusidn, to file an affidavit at the
end of the first year in business. T.C.A. §62-32-305(7).
94-105    ANNEXATION:Utilities: As a general matter, municipalities
are required to operate their utility systems on a self-sufficient
basis. A municipal subsidy would be inconsistent with this
requirement. Whether the City of Knoxville may make such a
subsidy depends on whether it operates its system under T.C.
A. §§7-35-101, dt. or §§7-34-101, esg. or some other
general or private act. If the city operates under T.C.A. §§7-
345-101, etsg it must finance its operations and capital
improvements out of its rates and may not subsidize the system
with tax revenues. If the city operates its system under T.C.A.
§§7-34-101, etseg. and has issued bonds to finance its facility
under that statute, it must finance its operations and capital
improvements out of its rates and may not subsidize the system
with tax revenues. If the city operates its system under T.C.A.
§§7-34-101..tsg. and has not issued bonds under that statute,
or if it operates its system under some other law which is not
inconsistent with subsidies, a court could find that, under
T.C.A. §7-34-115, it may appropriate tax revenues to subsidize
