Board approves contract for impact-fee study after procurement-exemption vote
Summary
The board approved hiring TischlerBise to conduct an impact-fee study (recorded contract amount in packet $41,800) to evaluate whether impact fees on new developments would help fund future capital needs; the vote required and received board approval for a procurement exemption.
The Cherokee County School Board approved a contract to have TischlerBise (recorded in the packet with a misspelled name) conduct an impact-fee study for the county. Administration explained the study may find impact fees are not appropriate for Cherokee County, or it may identify a revenue stream that would help future capital projects; the board approved the procurement-exemption and awarded the contract amount noted in the meeting packet.
During discussion, trustees asked why the contract was exempted from the usual procurement process; staff responded that the exemption is a listed procurement code category that requires specific board approval. The motion carried with the majority in favor; the minutes note one trustee recorded as not in favor. The study fee was listed in meeting materials as $41,800.
