Mr. Sorenson's preliminary observations <br />had been provided to the Impact Fee Task Force, with the complete report being provided to the <br />Commissioners as of today, January 22, 2008.

Ms. <br />Offutt asked the Board to consider Mr. Sorensen's report, as they moved ahead with the <br />workshop meetings. <br />The Board's consensus was to have staff schedule some workshops and public <br />hearings on this issue. <br />6.
