Dear City Council,
In the Staff Report (page 4 of 6), it recommends that increases to Parkland Dedication and
Transportation Impact fees be “deferred to allow for further review…”.
Q: When does staff anticipate bringing this back to Council?
My concern is 2 fold:
1. Projects are continually being submitted and the longer the delay, the more our city will be
impacted by the inability to charge adequate fees to cover costs at a time when our finances
are stretched.
2. Once this comes to Council and is approved, Schedule B fees take effect “60 days after
adoption”. That’s an additional 2 month delay!
REQUEST: Please set a “no later than” date for bringing this back to Council. Also, prioritize this
work so that it returns more quickly to Council for approval.
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
