City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />December 6, 2016 <br />Page 12 of 15 <br />development depends on it. This fee should be continued until it can be fully fleshed out <br />and there is broad public participation on this topic. <br />Randy Caranci, 441 Elk Trail, Lafayette, stated making this change now changes our <br />entire development plan and was unexpected. Maybe $3600 is not right, but an <br />increase to $28,000 is just too much. This should be put on hold or a lower increase <br />should be considered. <br />Andy Johnson, 920 Lincoln Avenue, agreed with the other speakers; adding this is a <br />huge concern for local landowners and stated the information was not well advertised. <br />Such a high number could make redevelopment impossible for many. This fee needs <br />much greater discussion. <br />Jim Tienken, 404 West Spruce Lane, stated as a landowner in downtown and an <br />attorney representing other landowners he understands the cost of parking is high for <br />everyone, but determining the final number should not be decided tonight. The issue <br />merits greater discussion. <br />Mayor Muckle asked if there were any concerns about fees other than the parking. <br />Mayor Muckle stated he is torn about the non-resident fees for the Rec Center. We <br />should keep an eye on that to make sure we aren't losing people. City Manager Fleming <br />stated this is intended to maximize revenue, not discourage use. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton <br />agreed with staff. <br />Mayor Muckle suggested staff investigate the parking in lieu fee to find a better option. <br />$3600 is too low, but we don't know what the right number is. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated this needs further conversation, it should be added to the <br />2017 work plan, and it should have an escalation process. <br />Councilmember Maloney moved to approve Resolution 72 but to reset the parking in <br />lieu fee to $3600. Councilmember Loo seconded the motion. <br />Councilmember Stolzmann stated she doesn't support the building fees as presented as <br />they are excessive and bring in more money than it costs the City to provide the service. <br />She planned to vote no because of this. <br />Roll call vote was taken and it passed 6-1. Councilmember Stolzmann voted no. <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION — BOARD AND COMMISSION INTERVIEW <br />PROCESS <br />The Mayor reported the Council received sixty-two applications for the 2017 board and <br />commission vacancies. Interviews for the applicants are scheduled for Monday and <br />
