The Chamber is asking that the Commission consider changing the time when the impact fees are paid to the City which is currently paid at the time a. building permit is awarded. The Chamber is suggesting collecting impact fees at the time a certificate of occupancy is granted. The Chamber is also recommending an option for payment. 0:12:16 Sally Hickey, President of Gallatin Association of Realtors Ms. Hickey stated that she was on the initial Impact Fee Committee with the County. We would like the City to take the lead on stimulating the local economy. Even though we are coming out of the recession, we still have a long way to go. Montana takes a little longer. She suggested a reduction in impact fees. There is a lot of money in the impact fee fund. She thinks that this is from street impact fees. She spoke regarding subdivisions that already have the infrastructure constructed. She spoke regarding GAR'S suggestion of having a holiday for impact fees and the possibility of reducing the fees. 0:18:45 Andy Epple, Planning Director Mr. Epple stated that staff has been evaluating these proposals.

Emergency services are needed the minute construction Linked Bozeman City Commission Minutes, September 28, 2009 equipment is on site. Cash available at the end of a construction is in short supply. This increases the likelihood of problems. Allowing finance options is a problem because the City will need resources to finance this in the interim. He spoke regarding inflation. We need to run the City like a business. There would be a need for administration to manage. Impact fees are collected to cover the increases. Impact fees do not have a profit margin. Mr. Epple spoke regarding Tishler -Sise, an impact fee study firm who stated not to reduce impact fees. This is a fairness -equal treatment issue. Impact fees support infrastructure.

An across the board evaluation of the City's existing impact fees should be conducted, looking at the study and findings and re- evaluate the findings. The holiday idea or discount -you run into a possible problem with fairness and equity issues. 0:48 :02 Cr. Krauss Cr. Krauss spoke regarding the old infrastructure. 0:50:57 Cr. Krauss Cr.
