Summary
The Franklin City Park Board learned that the Planning Commission recommended the proposed 2026–2030 park impact fees and was told the proposal will be introduced to City Council on Jan. 5 with a council vote set for Jan. 21; the new fee would take effect six months after the council vote.
The Franklin City Park Board on Dec. 18 heard that the Planning Commission gave a favorable recommendation to a proposed schedule of park impact fees for 2026–2030 and was told the measure will be introduced to the City Council on Jan. 5 and scheduled for a council vote Jan. 21.
Speaker 2 told the board the Planning Commission presentation “did receive a favorable recommendation” and that the next step is City Council introduction on Jan. 5, followed by a vote on Jan. 21. Speaker 2 said the new fee “will go into effect 6 months from that date.”
Board members did not debate or amend the fee during the park board meeting; Speaker 1 noted the board had already approved the fee increase earlier in its own process. The park board’s discussion was limited to reporting the Planning Commission outcome and advising the board of the City Council schedule.
If the council votes to adopt the proposed fee on Jan. 21 as scheduled, Speaker 2 indicated the park impact fee will be implemented six months later, affecting future developer or construction projects that trigger the city’s park-impact assessment. No additional legal citations or fee schedule details were presented at the Dec. 18 meeting.
