Subject: Public Comment -- 1/22/24 CC Mtg., item No. 5F, Impact Fee Reports Date: Thursday, January 18, 2024 4:16:16 PM
City Council,
This item is problematic for several reasons. First, we haven't been using these special funds as intended with three of the four funds having no expenditures for the last year (similar to prior years), and if you don;t spend the money within a defined amount of time, we have a legal obligation to refund it to the original parties who paid the impact fees. Second, the General Plan Maintenance Fee report references an "attachment A" with the detail but no such attachment is included so that report is incomplete. Finally, because of these issues, this really should not be buried in the consent calendar and should be pulled for explanation and discussion as if it had been a conduct of business item in the first place.
Regards,
--Jacob
