The level of service to the public will remain the same, no increase unless it can be proven it is
fair.
Impact Fee Analysis / Ordinance is the next step. Matt went over the specifics of what State
Code requires the analysis to follow.
Committee requirements were discussed:
Fee schedule will be a part of the decisions this committee will be making
Future plans for Fire and Police Departments
Once a year an analysis will be created making sure fees are being handled correctly. The report
will more than likely be presented to City Council, possibly The Building Association and Realtor
Association.
Some of the common issues are:
Defining service area
Project vs system
Establish service levels
Tax credits
Excess capacity
Impact Fee fund balances
Detailed documentation
Discussion on the need for a Fire Station closer to the Northgate Interchange may change
Philbin Road and Dekay Road locations for Fire Stations.
Rodney informed members of the Parks Master Plan that is being drafted.
Matt Explained that the hope would be after the committee gives their input to the project
they can be an advocate for explaining to residents how the analysis came about.
Rodney stated the City’s goal is to grow wisely with having people want to come to Chubbuck.
Next Meeting: December 12, 2017 at 5:30 pm
