CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of April S, 2013 — Regular Meeting Page 9 of 17 "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE TINDALE- OLIVER IMPACT FEE STUDY DATED MARCH 25, 2013; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Planner Marie Regan gave a brief overview of the item, stating that Resolution 13 -2482 was being presented to the Commission for consideration to accept the Tindale - Oliver Impact Fee Study. She stated that staff had been working with Tindale - Oliver over the last few months to update the Impact Fee Schedule for Fire and Rescue; Law Enforcement; Parks and Recreation; and Transportation. She added that the study proposes fees at a maximum level, and the Commission would have the opportunity to determine these fees at a workshop on April 24, 2013. Ms. Regan then introduced Ms. Nilgun Kamp, Project Manager with Tindale - Oliver & Associates for the Impact Fee Study. Ms. Kamp stated that Mr. Steve Tindale, the principal in charge of the study was also present. She then gave a presentation covering the background of the City's impact fees; the purpose of impact fees and the methods for calculating impact fees; and report findings and proposed calculations for each of the City's impact fees: Fire Rescue, Law Enforcement, Parks & Recreation and Transportation. She concluded with a brief overview of the study and comparisons of the calculated fees. She advised that the next steps in the process would consist of the City Commission workshop on April 24, 2013 for review of the draft ordinance and fee adoption levels; a presentation to the Planning and Zoning Commission; and two public hearings to consider adoption of the ordinance. A copy of the PowerPoint presentation is attached to and made a part of these minutes. Discussion: Commissioner Fry inquired about why there was such a drastic reduction in the Recreation Impact Fees. In response, Ms. Kamp explained that the City had made a big investment so the credit component was very large, which in turn reduced the net cost per resident. Mayor Glancy clarified that since the City had received a number of grants and other revenue sources to fund projects for the City's parks, recreation areas and trails, that had lowered the cost to the residents for all of the parks and recreation combined. Ms. Kamp confirmed that this was the case, and although this would reduce the City's eligibility for impact fees for this period, once those improvements were built and paid for and the next impact fee study was done, the fees would most likely increase at that time. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City budget. Audience Input: No one came forward to address Resolution 13 -2482. MOTION: Vice Mayor Solomon moved to approve Resolution 13 -2482, as presented. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Aramendia. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5 — 0. B.
