4. Discuss Road Impact Fees.
Road impact fees are fees collected by cities on new development for the funding of
roadway facilities attributable to the increase in traffic by new construction. To adopt
a roadway impact fee, a study must be prepared projecting the amount of increased
traffic demand generated by future development and identifying the cost of future
roadway facilities. This study is reviewed by a committee appointed by the Council
called the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC). Several public hearings
will be conducted prior to the adoption of any roadway impact fee and the fees will be
determined by the City Council.
Brief discussion between Joe Iliff and Council.
