Loading...
Summary
The Boise City Council unanimously approved a one‑time, budget‑neutral $125,000 appropriation to update the city’s development impact fee and capital facility needs plan, funded by a 1% surcharge on impact fees as required by state law every five years.
The Boise City Council approved a one‑time, budget‑neutral appropriation of $125,000 to update the city's development impact fee plan and capital facility needs plan.
Alicia, a finance department staffer, told the council the update is required by state law every five years and will ensure impact fees remain compliant and aligned with Boise’s growth and infrastructure needs. She said the work will be led by city staff across departments with support from a consultant experienced with Boise and that the surcharge already collected on development impact fees can legally be used for the update.
Council member Corliss asked about the update cadence; Alicia confirmed the plan is updated every five years. With no further debate, a council member moved to approve the interim budget change, another seconded, and the mayor declared the motion carried.
The interim appropriation is limited by law to costs associated with updating the fee plan; Alicia said it is the only interim budget change for April and that staff will stand for follow‑up questions as the process proceeds.
The council will see related budget materials again during the FY27 budget process and the updated impact fee plan is expected to inform the FY28 budget.
