U <br />FJ <br />Item 5 of the legislative agenda, which sought authority to levy an <br />impact tax on development to help pay for school capital costs <br />associated with development, was dropped from consideration by the <br />General Assembly. However, item 6 was approved by the General Assembly <br />instead, with the result that the County's existing authority to impose <br />impact fees within the County's planning jurisdiction for school <br />capital needs was expanded to encompass authority to impose such fees <br />throughout the County. A more detailed discussion of impact fees is <br />included in another report on this agenda. <br />Finally, item 7 from the County's legislative agenda, dealing with <br />authority to levy an occupancy tax of up to 3% on rental accommodations <br />in the County was approved by the General Assembly as Senate Bill 622. <br />This issue was addressed by the Commissioners during the last regular <br />meeting of the Board on August 5. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends: that the Board receive the <br />report for information only; and that after appropriate discussion at a <br />future date, the Board adopt an ordinance regulating hunting and <br />fishing on private property, as authorized by the Enabling legislation <br />in Senate Bill 623. <br />
