DISCUSSION ITEMS
Stormwater Impact Fee Report

final report.
Gould summarized the report via a PowerPoint presentation and answered questions.
There was discussion.
There was discussion regarding future projects that impact fees will help to pay for.
Gould answered further questions.
Public Comment
Brandon Theis, Impact Fee Committee member, noted that he agreed with some of the councils'
comments and that he has struggled with some of those same issues. He remarked that stormwater is
different from water and sewer connections in that no direct consumer connection is made.
Merna Terry, Impact Fee Committee member, remarked that she voted against the report because of
the amount of money collected in the buy -in component vs the amount of money planned to be spent
in the future. She said that money should equal the capital improvement plan and the rest is just
excess money.
Gould noted the excess can be used for future upsizing and the buy -in is an opportunity to have funds
available without raising rates.
