Council shortens effective date for reduced sewer impact fee
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 2026‑02A to allow a diminished sewer impact fee to take effect immediately (an exception to the usual 90‑day waiting period), citing the rule that reduced fees may be implemented sooner; the motion passed unanimously.
City staff presented Ordinance 2026‑02A to amend the effective date for a revised sewer impact fee. Staff explained that the standard 90‑day waiting period for impact‑fee changes exists to allow objections and let projects use the current fee, but that an exception applies when a fee is being reduced. The ordinance language was amended to convey that the lesser fee will take effect immediately.
Councilwoman Angie Petty moved to approve the ordinance; Councilman Wayne Winsor seconded and the vote was unanimous. The ordinance adjusts the effective date only; it does not change the fee calculation presented to the council. Staff will note the immediate effective date for administrative and permitting processes.
