These fees were originally adopted in December 2008 as authorized under <br />the Growth Management Act and RCW 82.02.050 and WAC 365-196-850. In August, following a request <br />for proposal process, the services of Berk Consulting were secured to assist with the impact fee update. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The fee study will soon be finalized and available for review and discussion. The legislation required to <br />adopt the impact fee updates and the proposed timeline for this legislation is summarized below. <br />Legislation: <br />1. Park Impact Fee Ordinance -- updates the fee schedule and impact fee eligible project list based on <br />the 2017 rate study and incorporates the previously adopted fee deferral ordinances (ordinances <br />2485 and 2521). <br />2. Fire Impact Fee Ordinance - updates the fee schedule and project list based on the 2017 rate study <br />and incorporates the previously adopted fee deferral ordinances (ordinances 2486 and 2521). <br />3. Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan ordinance — amends the PROS plan for changes <br />in the park level of service standards. <br />4. Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) resolution — amends the capital facilities project list and associated <br />cost estimates. <br />Timeline: <br />For continuity of discussion and ease of presentation to Council, staff recommends the Finance Committee <br />review the four pieces of legislation rather than having the legislation reviewed by multiple Council <br />committees. The following schedule is proposed: <br />November 21 <br />November 27 <br />December 4 <br />Finance Committee <br />Committee of the Whole and Public Hearing <br />Regular Council meeting <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Committee is being asked to approve the proposed legislative process and timeline outlined above. <br />157 <br />
