6 prepared a technical report which outlined the methodology for calculating a system of fees. The initial draft of the report was presented to the Board of Commissioners in January of 1992. Subsequently, the draft report was distributed to the municipalities in the county, the two school boards, the Homebuilders Association, the Board of Realtors, the Community Housing Corporation, and the Chambers of Commerce. In March, 1992, meetings were held with representatives of the organizations to discuss impact fee levels, methods of collection, and other concerns. Upon request, presentations were also made to municipal governing boards. In April, 1992, a report summarizing the results of the meetings was presented to the Board of Commissioners, including options for raising specific amounts of capital to finance public school improvements. In May, 1992, a public hearing was held to give the citizens of Orange County an opportunity to voice their opinion on establishing a system of impact fees. The technical report provided with the agenda materials represents a revision to the initial draft. It seeks to address the discussion, debate, and concerns identified during the series of meetings held in March, April, and May of 1992. In addition, the methodology and calculations used in the initial draft have been reviewed to insure consistency and accuracy. At the conclusion of the hearing and upon receipt of the Planning Board's recommendation, the Board of Commissioners may decide on whether or not to include a schedule of impact fees in the FY 1992 -93 budget. RECODMNDATION: The Administration recommends that the proposed ordinance and technical report be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no later than June 29, 1992.
