At their April 3, 1995 meeting,the Board of County Commissioners approved a 10-point plan <br /> establishing future action on Impact Fees and the fee structure. One point of this plan directs Staff to <br /> update the Technical Report, including development of a sliding scale of Impact Fees and differentiation <br /> of fees between the two school districts based on school capital needs.
