Board hires TischlerBise to study development impact fees; one member dissents
Summary
Trustees approved a contract exemption and hired TischlerBise (Tishler Bice in materials) to conduct an impact‑fee study to examine whether and how new residential development could contribute to school capital costs; the cost in the packet was $41,800 and the motion passed with one recorded no vote from Miss Shippy.
The board approved an impact‑fee study to evaluate whether new development should bear a fee to help offset school capital costs.
Administration described the study and said the consultant may conclude impact fees are not appropriate for Cherokee County; the study cost shown in the board materials was $41,800. The board approved a procurement exemption and authorized the contract for TischlerBise to conduct the analysis. The clerk recorded the roll call of the motion; the vote carried with the majority in favor and one dissent noted: “Those not in favor, Miss Shippy,” which the clerk recorded.
The study will assess whether new single‑family home development can reasonably support a per‑home fee tied to capital needs and will return with an evidence-based recommendation to the board.
