TITLE
Discussion re Reduction of the Engineering Fees.
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Council direction.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On June 20, 2017, the Flagstaff City Council voted 5-2 to adopt new Engineering Fees, which became effective August 1, 2017. At the December 5, 2017, Council meeting, a Future Agenda Item Request (F.A.I.R.) from Councilmember Odegaard on a possible reduction in engineering development fees was considered by Council. One additional member of Council supported the placement of Councilmember Odegaard's F.A.I.R. on a future agenda for discussion as soon as possible. Two additional members of Council, bringing the total to four Councilmembers, supported expediting the item's placement on the next possible Council work session agenda for discussion. This is a continuation of the discussion which began at the Work Session of December 12, 2017.

Staff developed a short presentation, attached, that will address the Cost Recovery policy decision for Engineering services and the potential impact of changing this fee recovery on the City's budget. Agenda items from past discussions on this issue are attached for your information.
