Dear Mayor, City Council members and Staff,
There is a need to increase impact fees out of respect to current rate payers who have nothing
to gain by increased subsidization of growth. In fact we have been doing so for far too long.Impact fees are not preventing growth. Other factors such as the ability of Americans to tele-
commute and the fact that our community is a much sought after place to live are the dominantforces at play. Please vote to increase water and sewer impact fees to the calculated cost as
found in the study.
Thank you,
Matthew Brake
