DEVELOPER IMPACT FEES
Discussion was held concerning implementing a traditional developer impact fee or amending
the Code of Ordinances to expand the permitted use of funds received in lieu of land dedication.
Mr. Knight reviewed two options regarding impact fees: conduct a traditional impact fee study,
or revise the platting ordinance and develop a Master Fees Schedule.
Discussion ensued on amending the Code of Ordinances to allow cash contributions to be used
for public purposes other than only for parks and recreational purposes.
Discussion took place regarding property development or redevelopment that may not be subject
to platting requirements, but may impact services beyond parks and recreation.
Discussion ensued on the interpretation of "public facilities." It was clarified that the intent is
that funds would be used for structures or infrastructure.
Council consensus was to address both the use of funds and the issue of platting. This item will
come back to a future Workshop agenda.
SUMMER GOLF MEMBERSHIPS
Golf Director Mike Gray explained the concept of summer golf memberships and recommended
$700 for a five -month membership for both residents and non-residents.
Discussion ensued on the cost of summer memberships and the advantages of membership. The

This item was moved forward to the 2/28/08 Regular Session agenda.
