TITLE:
Public Safety Impact Fee Update
DESIRED OUTCOME:
Council direction on the proposed path forward for the re-adoption of the Public Safety Impact Fees
INFORMATION:
Arizona Revised Statute 9-463.05, adopted during the 2011 legislative session significantly amended development fee enabling legislation. Commonly knows an SB1525, this legislation called for:
• Amending existing development program changes by January 1, 2012. The City met this condition by adopting the amendment of the existing development program on December 6, 2011; and,
• Abandoning the existing development fee programs by August 1, 2014. To accomplish the abandonment and subsequent adoption by August 1, 2014, the City must follow a prescribed schedule allowing adequate time for public input and Council discussion.
The work session will allow Tischler Bise (the City’s consultant) to provide an overview of the statutory changes and the path forward.
City staff is requesting Council direction on whether to continue with the adoption of the Public Safety Development Impact fees.
Should the Council choose to continue, the schedule for adoption is as follows:
November 7, 2013; December 7, 2013, and December 22, 2013
