Discussion: Discussed roll of the Impact Fee Committee — Charlie went over guidelines of the Impact Fee
Committee as set forth by State Statute. The statute was drafted by the State Legislator because of the
inconsistencies between the cities and counties in Montana and a uniform policy was needed.
The Impact Fee Committee is an advisory committee and advises the council in impact fee issues.
The committee does not advise on policy. Policy is set by the council and is the council's responsibility.
Every two years fees are reviewed for appropriateness. We have done all but transportation.
Meetings are the 3rd Thursday of each month that we have a meeting. Months where there is nothing on the
agenda to discuss there will be no meeting.
A discussion as to how meetings should be conducted — 1. Roberts Rules of Order or 2. something less formal.
It was decided that we would follow the guideline of Roberts Rules.
