Mr. Balainger, asked for clarification as to the Planning & Zoning
Commission's role as the Advisory Board.
GIs. Godbey explained that all Advisory Board was a provision of J.B.
336, and the Planning and Zoning Commission, in that capacity,ty, would
be required to file ;written reports to the City Council, i;-knd review
and make reconmendat ions to E.h£.e City Council regarding Capital im-
provement
Mr. Hill asked how many years of collecting this impact gee it would
take- to offset the consultants hired to implement the process.
Ms. Godbey stated that she thought it was within the 'first. year if
development continued; if development C'FEme to a halt, no flees would be
collected, thus stretching this time frame. This was heavily tti'C"'•ghed
before the City council decided to proceed with this project:.
Ms. Godhpy said that the items discussed bet.w(.en thie Coram -ssicners
were healthy and whenever this subject came up these same issues were
always discussed. She stated this was a reason the Planning & Zoning
Commission was a good body to serve as the Advisory Board.
Mr. Owens expressed "thanks" on behalf of the entire Commission for
Ms. Godbey and Mr. Norwood being present to explain these items.
There being no further business to conduct, the meeting adjourned at
9:05 p.m.
