Preparation of Public School Impact Fee Reports. We will prepare a draft report for each district which summarizes the need for the impact fees for the appropriate district and which provides the relevant methodology for determining the fee amount.

The impact fee report will have flow diagrams clearly indicating the methodology and approach, a series of tables for each activity showing all of the data assumptions and figures, and a narrative explaining all of the data assumptions, sources and methodologies.
