Section 5. TMC Section 16.26.020 is hereby reenacted to read as follows: <br />16.26.020 Findings <br />The City Council finds and determines that growth and development in the City create <br />additional demand and need for public fire protection facilities in the City, and the City <br />Council finds that growth and development should pay its proportionate share of the costs <br />of the facilities needed to serve the growth and development in the City. Therefore, <br />pursuant to RCW 36.70A and RCW 82.02.050 through 82.02.100, which authorize the <br />City to impose and collect impact fees to fund public facilities that serve growth, the City <br />Council adopts this ordinance to impose fire protection impact fees for fire protection <br />services.
