Impact Fees-Second Hearing, April 19, 2010 County Council

Many members of Growth Action and others testified in opposition to County Council bill 12-10 that would roll back impact fees that went from extremely low for over 20 years to reasonable on Jan 1, 2010. Now however, the new fee schedule for higher fees has been threatened by a bill #1 12-10 that would further delay reasonable impact fees and even make refunds of fees paid in 2010 under the current schedule.

AA County has suffered from extremely low impact fees that have prevented the County from keeping up with needed infrastructure to support it.

Your testimony on April 19 is important as well as your contacting the Council person hwo represents your district. Hearing starts at 7 PM and you can sign up to testify at 6:30 PM outside the County Council chambers.
