13 1 • Collapsing all housing type categories in both or either school districts, charging the 2 "Average" calculation by housing type, and adopting at some percentage of the MSIF. 3 • Options 1-3 can also be implemented by increasing the percentage of MSIF over a 4 period of time (e.g., adopt at x% effective 2017, y% effective 2018, and z% effective 5 2019). 6 7 Upcoming Meetings 8 • Joint Board of County Commissioners/ School Boards Meeting — Sep. 29 9 • Board of County Commissioners Public Hearing on October 4 beginning at 7:00 p.m. at 10 the Whitted Meeting Facility 11 • Possible adoption of updated fees at October 18 Board of County Commissioners 12 Meeting 13 Joal Broun referred to the new legislation that requires smaller K-3 class sizes, and 14 asked if there is a plan to factor in the additional space that will be needed to accommodate this 15 legislation. 16 Craig Benedict said that would have to be analyzed. He said if the same square 17 footage, at the same cost, provides less capacity, then there will be a higher cost per seat. He 18 said school construction standards will also be reviewed, as well as how the legislation would 19 affect school construction costs. 20 Joal Broun asked if this would be discussed before the Board of County Commissioners 21 decides on the impact fee. 22 Craig Benedict said the Planning Department could work with the Finance Department 23 and both school districts to see what the affects would be. 24 Commissioner Dorosin thanked the consultant, and said this was not supposed to be a 25 cross-examination. He said there are new board members on both Boards, and there are high 26 emotions and history with this issue, but her work is appreciated. 27 Commissioner Jacobs referred to Joal Broun's comment, and said if the County has to 28 anticipate another unfunded mandate from the State, then the County should anticipate it. He 29 said such litigation may pre-dispose the Board of County Commissioners to picking a higher 30 number with which to start. He said he would recommend phasing in the impact fees. 31 Commissioner Price asked if an extensive addition is built onto a mill home, which are 32 historic preservation homes, would it be considered for impact fees. 33 Craig Benedict said existing homes are grandfathered in, but if children are living in 34 these houses they will be captured in future analysis. 35 36 4.
