4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. Discussion of the Development Impact Fees.
Mayor introduces the issue.
Buxton: Discusses a meeting she had with representatives from the BCA. My recommendation
is that the City start collecting the impact fees on July 12, 1999. BCA wants some assurances
that the City is going to spend its money to meet the deficit as quickly as possible. BCA would
also like the City to amend the CIP and to do this in the shortest term possible and to show some
discussion that the City would met that deficit and to clarify that future homeowners will not
contribute to the deficiency through the payment of property taxes, other special assessments,
obligation bonds and other funding mechanisms.
Our recommendation is that the City should begin to collect the impact fees, the CIP should be
amended to demonstrate a correction of the deficiencies for parks and pathways within a short
period of time. CIP should be amended to expand the discussion on alternative funding sources
to correct the existing deficiencies. Clarify in the plan that future homeowners will not
contribute to the deficiency correction through payment of property taxes. The impact study
should include an appendix providing the necessary background information. We also need a
better map showing the pathways. There would need to be a public hearing on amending the
plan.
General discussion.
Bastian moves that the City begin to collect the impact fees on July 12, 1999; the Capital
Improvement Plan should be amended to demonstrate correction of the deficiencies for
both parks and pathways to within 8 years; the CIP should be used to specify funding
sources to correct the existing deficiencies; the CIP should be amended to clarify that
future homeowners will not contribute to the deficiency correction through the payment of
property taxes. The impact fee study should include appendices to provide any necessary
background information to demonstrate compliance with the impact fee statute,
specifically Section 67-8204. Seconded by Merrill. Discussion. ALL AYE: MOTION
CARRIES ..............
Discussion on the Impact Fee Committee, possible resignations and re-appointments.
B. Drainage District #2, Webster.
Buxton: Webster is considering donating the land to the City. I would like to have direction
