Davidson stated that this would produce between $1,800 and $3,000+/home, depending on the size <br />of the home. He explained that, since this was the range Council was looking at for an school impact <br />fee, this looked like a logical approach for Council to take. <br /> <br />Davidson called for Council comments or questions. <br /> <br />Lathrop was in favor of this. <br /> <br />Mayer was not happy with the way the ordinance was drafted. He felt the main emphasis should be <br />the high schools. He wanted the city to have the flexibility to apply some of the fee to other schools, <br />as necessary. He wanted the ordinance changed to reflect that. <br /> <br />Keany wanted more flexibility as to how the city can use the monies, such as school capacity. <br /> <br />Margaret Hombostel, 655 West Hawthorn Street, Louisville, Colorado, was on the task force for this <br />a couple of years ago. She explained that they discussed a problem the city had with being a statutory <br />city in collecting these fees. State statutory cities have to depend on the desires of other statutory <br />cities. Chartered cities are able to hire auditors to make sure they get these fees. She wanted that <br />addressed and that whoever comes in ahead of this is not "grandfathered" in. <br /> <br />Davidson stated that this is one that the city clearly has the authority to impose. Since it is a tax, <br />there is no "grandfathering." <br /> <br />Howard wanted flexibility with the funds. <br /> <br />Levihn felt that the city should hold the money until such time as the total District goes to this type <br />of a fee and the city should influence the use of the money to the benefits of Louisville. <br /> <br />Davidson stated that on page 2, item A, line A, the words "solely for" should be removed and <br />replaced with "for uses such as." <br /> <br />Davidson called for further Council discussion. <br /> <br />NONE <br /> <br />Davidson moved that Council instruct the City Attorney to go forward per the schedule. Seconded <br />by Levihn. All in favor. <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br /> <br />Acting City Attorney requested that Council go into Executive Session to discuss a proposed <br />settlement agreement and release that would be entered into with the owners of Centennial <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
