TO PROVIDE IMPACT FEE CONSULTING SERVICES Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Deputy City Manager for Governmental Relations Balser reviewed the contract and scope of work from Tischlerbise (formerly Tischler and Associates) to calculate the appropriate impact fees related to the need for new capital facilities resulting from residential development. Council requested the City update the methodology for its residential fees, which currently requires payment of $1 ,650 per unit as well a charge of $2.60 a square foot of floor area for the proposed unit. The scope of work for this Tischlerbise study proposes evaluation of three residential impact fees for 1) library, 2) parks, open space and trails and 3) recreation. The Study will also review the previous study for the transportation, municipal facilities and police impact fees to determine whether any adjustments are warranted as a result of the finalized Comprehensive Plan detailing revised population and development figures. It is anticipated it will take four months to complete the Study, with a final document available for distribution by spring of this year. The cost is approximately $89,925 to complete the Study with an additional $8,150 for preparation of a draft impact fee ordinance and related procedures. Staff recommended approval of $98,075 to complete the impact fee study, prepare an impact fee ordinance and authorize the Mayor to sign a consultant agreement with TischlerBise for such services. MOTION: Council member Yarnell moved for the approval of the professional service contract with Tishlerbise, Inc. for the Impact Fee Study. Council member
