Mr. Adams was present at the meeting and Mr. Yost was available thru a remote call. Dave Adams stated that when a City can implement these fees with a method that is truly a benefit for the entire community than impact fees are successful and make sense. Mr. Adams recognized prior councilmembers that made hard decisions on the North West Sewer Interceptor (NWSI), which has now put the City of Chubbuck in a great position for growth today. Mr. Adams felt like if these fees are straight up fees than they will be successful. Mr. Adams also stated that the City has the responsibility to provide community parks. In his experience Mr. Adams felt like those communities that had the courage to be the leaders where more successful in implementing impact fees that those that followed. Lyn Yost stated that he looked at impact fees as an investment and felt like they served a purpose if used appropriately. Mr. Yost recognized if the NWSI investment would not have been implemented he would not have the opportunity to develop his land. Mr. Yost also stated that those neighborhoods that don't have a park should invest into a community park. Councilmember Evans felt like the impact fees would spark quality development and growth in the community. Councilmember Baumeister wanted to offset the Police and Emergency Services impact fees from the Parks impact fee at first, and then reevaluate these fees every year. Councilmember Lewis wanted to implement these fees incrementally. Councilmember Hernandez felt like lowering the recommended fees devalues the city's parks and the studies that had been done. City Attorney Tom Holmes recommended waiting to adopt this ordinance until the final draft was drafted. The Council moved general business item #7 to the May 1, 2019 council meeting. CLAIMS: 1. City of Chubbuck claims for April 17, 2019 as presented to Mayor England and Council. (Action Item).
