An ordinance and fee schedule are planned for <br />adoption and implementation effective July 1, 1992. Staff have been <br />working toward this goal throughout 1991 -92, with the Planning Director <br />having presented a draft technical report to the Board of Commissioners <br />in January 1992, and an interim implementation report at the April 21, <br />1992 meeting. <br />At that meeting, the Board established May 4 as the date for an initial <br />public hearing to receive comments from citizens and organizations <br />directly interested in school impact fees. As required under the <br />enabling legislation, a second public hearing on school impact fees is <br />planned for inclusion in the regular quarterly public hearing to be <br />held on May 26. <br />Staff will provide a brief presentation on school impact fees for <br />Public information prior to the opening of the public hearing. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board conduct the <br />public hearing. <br />
