Staff outlines collected impact-fee balances and eligible uses for parks, transportation and general government
City staff presented an informational overview of the impact fees the commission adopted beginning January 2023 and summarized current balances and permitted uses.

A staff member explained a fee study by Duncan Associates determined the fee schedule and that impact fees must be used for new capacity, not for maintenance or routine repair. Funds must be spent on eligible projects within 10 years of collection or may need to be returned; an administrative fee of up to 3% may be retained but staff said the city has not used that option.

Staff reported the following collections through early June 2025: approximately $225,000 in general-government impact fees (residential and commercial combined), about $210,000 in transportation impact fees and roughly $105,000 in parks impact fees. Collections began in January 2023 and have grown as new development pays required fees.

Staff told the commission these balances create an opportunity to include impact fees as part of the multi-year capital improvement planning process for parks, transportation and municipal facilities. The presentation was informational; no action was taken.

Next steps: Staff suggested commissioners consider impact fees when prioritizing capital projects and return with recommendations on specific projects and how impact fees might fund them.
