Camp Verde council directs staff to issue RFP for development impact fee study
Summary
The Camp Verde council directed staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an impact fee study, after Town Manager Miranda Fisher summarized neighboring jurisdictions' fees and the study process; Fisher requested permission to release the RFP without returning for Council approval due to timing needs for budget preparation.
On April 23, 2025, the Camp Verde Mayor and Council reviewed the possibility of implementing development impact fees and directed staff to issue a Request for Proposal for a consultant study.
Town Manager Miranda Fisher said the council previously discussed impact fees in February 2025 and summarized how neighboring jurisdictions use such fees, the process of an impact fee study, required public notification procedures, and the advantages and disadvantages of adopting fees. Fisher told the council a study would be incorporated into the GIP budget if the council chose to proceed.
Following questions from council members answered by Fisher and Town Attorney Trish Stuhan, the council provided direction to issue an RFP for an impact fee study. Manager Fisher requested permission to release the RFP without bringing it back for council approval because staff needs financial data before tentative budget actions. The minutes record Fisher’s request but do not record a formal vote or a recorded decision to waive Council approval.
The next step identified in the minutes is issuance of the RFP and subsequent return to council with study results and recommended policy options.
