Plain City reviews impact-fee report and adopts Madison County hazard-mitigation plan
Summary
Plain City council heard an annual impact-fee update from Miss Lupton, which showed rising permit activity and fund balances held for future improvements, and unanimously adopted Resolution 5-2026 to join Madison County's five-year hazard-mitigation plan.
Miss Lupton presented the annual impact-fee report required by codified ordinance 9 61.04, telling the council the review covers building permits, funds collected and balances as of January 2026.
"They have to be used for new improvements," Miss Lupton said, describing eligible uses such as new park improvements, crosswalks or intersection upgrades, and noting that specific projects have not yet been identified.
The report, included in the meeting packet, showed what Miss Lupton characterized as a ‘‘really high number of new dwelling permits’’ that she expects to taper as current developments finish. The council asked for clarification about fund balances; Miss Lupton said the balances are being allowed to build until eligible capital needs are identified.
In unfinished business the council took up the second reading of Resolution 5-2026, "adopting the Madison County Local Hazard Mitigation 5-Year Plan." Council members moved, seconded and approved the resolution on the record. The adoption was presented as a local concurrence with the county plan; the motion carried as recorded in the meeting transcript.
The council did not identify a project list tied to the impact-fee balances during the meeting; Miss Lupton said funds must be used for new improvements but did not provide specific spending dates or project names. The approval of the hazard-mitigation plan closes the item at second reading; no further action or implementation schedule was stated in the meeting record.
