REPORT ON IMPACT FEES Page 1 11-13-08 Capital Improvement Advisory Committee Greg Van Nieuwenhuize, Assistant Director of Public Works, gave the report in a detailed power point presentation. He explained the purpose of the committee is to review the progress of the Capital Improvement Plan program and updated the committee on the fund balances and current projects. Chairman Shiflet asked if there was anything projected on the Smithfield rail station site to be added to the program at the appropriate time? Mr. Van Nieuwenhuize replied that, because of the current economic climate, should the city be doing something different? The short answer is no, based on the fact that the program gets updated every five years by state law. It was last updated April 2005 so in the next fiscal year we will be looking at hiring a firm to go update the rates. Mr. Pitstick added that many cities use the Planning and Zoning as the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee because they oversee the land use consumptions. Chairman Shiftlet stated he did not see anything on the power point for water consumption in the Smithfield area. Mr. Van Nieuwenhuize stated that due to the increased density that will potentially occur in the area it will need to be addressed in the new plan. Mr. Van Nieuwenhuize explained that the city hires a consultant to assist with financial data collecting and analysis, Keith Reed with Reed Municipal Services, who was also present at this meeting. Mr. Reed suggested that the Committee be mindful of the time it takes to approve the budget for the future impact program, due to the length of time it takes for the hearing process. APPROVED Bill Schopper motioned to accept the Capital Improvement Plan as presented recommend approval from the City Council. Kelly Gent seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously (6-0). 5. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m. __ andy Shiflett, Chairman 1 o Bowen, Secretary Page 2 11-13-08 Capital Improvement Advisory Committee
