Board approves $30,000 recreation impact-fee study to support trail funding
Summary
The board approved hiring the firm identified as 'b 3' for a roughly $30,000 recreation impact-fee study, to be paid from impact-fee funds and accompanied by committee work and a public promotion window ahead of any fee adoption.
The Danville Town Parks and Recreation Board voted to fund a recreation impact-fee (RIF) study to support future trail funding and to avoid gaps in the RIF schedule. Staff described the study as a five-year review that the town performs periodically and said it will be funded from existing impact-fee dollars so it will be largely self-funded.
Staff identified a consultant (referred to in the meeting as 'b 3,' described as having acquired the firm's previous provider) and said the cost is around $30,000. Staff said the project includes a six-month public-promotion window before any RIF adoption, and that committees will be convened to assist with outreach. The board moved, seconded and approved using impact-fee funds for the study.
Next steps: staff will finalize the consultant contract, form the study committee and begin the study; the board did not provide a roll-call vote tally in the transcript, so the published minutes should be consulted for the formal vote record.
