She requested water impact fees be considerod first ~nd stated it had been
done with a report from Briley, Wild & Associatos Dnd Ordinance 2187 was
adopted September 18, 1900. Cecil liender!ton said a growth factor had been
included.
MOTION - Paul Rettig moved to recommend thnt thu water impact fees remain
unchanged as fair and equitable at this time. Mot~on was seconded by Ream
Wilson and carried unanimously.
The Chairman requested COlm1ents all consideration of Qrdinanc(tJ452, Develop-
ment Impact Fees.
John Richter: We might be inclined to question whether the $250 amount is
still appropriate. Also, specifications of what funds are to be used for is
vague and suggested better definition.
Philip Bennis~ Last fiscal year $447,325 impact fees were collected. To
get true picturet probably needs outside agency review to see what these
services cost us today.
Cecil Henderson: Reminded that these fees were established at Clearwaterls
peak growth period, which we are in no longer, and questioned whether we
should change the amount. Agreed that ordinance wording might be improved
and probably should be rewritten. Thinks we should compare our impact fee
amount with those of surrounding cities and that it should be comparable.
Likes idea of studying actual costs but study costs might be more than the
money weld take in.
Don Meerians: Could easily do an in-house study from expenditures of the
last five years and see how it compares to cost of square foot construction
of the last five years. Traffic Engineering Department could get signal
installations cost. Sidewalk construction is usually done by the developer
anyway. We could verify figure to see if it is what it should be.
Chris Cowles: No conrnent.
Paul Rettig: Having been involved with sewer and water impact. fees, the
amounts are put in a special account, Finance Department records receipts
and watches where they go. Whether it's the right amount is difficult to
say. It would require an in-depth study to justify whether it is equitable,
regardless of what ,other people charge. Consultants had to justify the
sewer impact fee.
George Buhmeyer: Questioned construction of sidewalks being included in
impact ordinance.
Cecil Henderson: Development of an area impacting the area between it and
another area requires City installation of s'ldewalks in an undeveloped area
in order to provide services for the citizens, and installation costs are
funded by the impact fees.

Chairman: Traffic Engineering and Public Service are working on a new side-
walk ordinance for possible review at the next R.O.C. nleeting before pre-
sentation to the Conrnission.
George Buhmeyer: Several people walking for health reasons have been hit by
cars because of lack of sidewalks.
John Peddy: When setting or increasing fee amount. consideration should be
given to fact that we are trying to attract co~nercial and industrial develop-
ment. which will pay many times more in revenue over the years than the initial
impact fee. Impact fees CQuld become a deterent to locating in Clearwater.
Many things (streets. sidewalks. etc.) in residential subdivisions are already
required at the developer's expense and do not require a fund.
Ream Wilson: Asked Mr. Henderson how figure of $250 a unit was determined.
Mr. Henderson said various departments provided cost information to the City
Manager for consideration.
Don Meerians: When a developer pays an impact fee. is it right for us to
place another impact fee on that specific development as we've done on Gulf
Boulevard where they are going to pay for widening. and on N.E. Coachman
roadway where developers are also going to pay for widening? They've already
paid it once.
Cecil Henderson: It might have more than one impact. It is a type of adjust-
ment factor.

Chairman: Is it cost effective for a large study if our dollars are correct?
We could do a simple in-house study. we know the revenue, we are reviewing
the sidewalk ordinance. Concurred with need to clarify use of impact funds
and need to consider what Don Meerians questioned.
Paul Rettig: Finance could provide a small report on wl1at funds have been'
expended and for what purpose.
Chairman: Concurred on consideration of enlarging economic base. Will
investigate past information. and this information.
Discussion - Bond issues provide funds. possible lot coverage ordinance may
impact on drainage requirements, developers fund retention ponds and side-
walks which was not required in 1973.
Paul Rettig: Sewer impact fee was reviewed by Briley, Wild two or three
years ago and found fair and equitable. For the bond holderst we are to
review water and sewer rates every two years and impact fees are a pal't of it.
Chairman: If need to come back, will do at next meeting. '
