25 <br /> Chair Price referred to the gym annual facilities pass fees, and asked if this is intended <br /> for anyone in particular. She asked if the County is charging families. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said she would speak with David Stancil, Department of <br /> Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation Director, on this and send the information to <br /> the Board tomorrow. <br /> Chair Price referred to land records, and said there are fees still listed from 1994. She <br /> said it would be nice to clear this up. She said it is on pages 457. She referred to page 477 <br /> and fire inspections, and said she wants these revised soon. She said there is one fee that is <br /> going from $185 to $1,200, which is a significant jump. <br /> Travis Myren said fire inspection fees are being assessed based on building size. <br /> Chair Price said she understands that it is justified, but it has been waiting for a couple <br /> of decades, and may come as quite a shock to some. <br /> Chair Price referred to stormwater management on page 467. She clarified less than 1 <br /> acre is $300; between 1-10 acres it is $300 per disturbed acre; and 10-25 acres is $600. She <br /> asked if the larger the area, the greater the cost. <br /> Craig Benedict, Planning Director, said the larger the project, the more complex they are <br /> and require more time. He said staff monitors bigger sites as they may have more hazards due <br /> to more land disturbed. <br /> Chair Price said she does not understand the logic behind this. <br /> Craig Benedict said he would review with staff, and get back to the Board. <br /> Chair Price asked if the Board can express its intent to approve, if there are additional <br /> changes pending. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said the Board could still do an intent to approve the budget, and if <br /> there are changes they can be included on the 15tn <br /> A motion was made by Chair Price, seconded by Commissioner McKee, to approve the <br /> fee schedule. <br /> Roll call ensued <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 4.
