Nary City Attorney/HR Director 'IHt[ 1903 To: Mayor Tammy de Weerd and Meridian City Council Members RECEIVED SEP 0 1 2006 City Of Meridian City Clerk Office From: Ted Baird, Deputy City Attorney Re: Procedure for Combined Public Hearing on Impact Fee Ordinance and Capital Improvement Plans. Date: September 01,2006 BACKGROUND: Whenever a city amends its impact fee ordinance, the Idaho Impact Fee Act requires that the corresponding capital improvement plans (CIPs) be updated. Because the issues related to the CIPs and impact fee methodologies are intertwined, we are allowed to hold a combined public hearing on the CIPs and the Meridian Impact Fee Ordinance. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS: The CIP requirements of the Idaho Impact Fee Act are quite complex. There are eleven requirements that must be met. Attached to this memorandum is a schedule setting forth the impact fee CIP requirements and the corresponding section in the Impact Fee Report where the requirements are satisfied. At the conclusion of the hearing, if the Council finds that the requirements have been met, there is a resolution on the agenda for your consideration that adopts the parks, fire, and police impact fee CIPs. Adoption of the CIP Resolution is a prerequisite to adopting the amended impact fee Ordinance. The Local Land Use Planning Act requires that these CIPs be adopted as part of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The Meridian Planning Commission held a public hearing on the CIP comp plan amendment on August 17,2006 and moved to recommend its approval. IMP ACT FEE ORDINANCE: Doug Strong's memorandum dated August 29, 2006 sets forth a summary of the recommendation of the Impact Fee Committee regarding the impact fees for parks, fife, and police capital improvements. At the conclusion of the hearing, and after adoption of the CIP Resolution, the Council should consider the adoption of the amended impact fee Ordinance. The Council will need to set the amount of each impact fee and set the implementation date, at least 30 days after approval and publication.
