Chairman Davis asked Attorney Collins who would get thrown in jail if they <br />decided to use impact fees to fund this purchase, and then someone objects. Attorney Collins <br />said such action could invalidate the use of the impact fees. <br />Administrator Baird recommended that the Board listen to Attorney Collins, and <br />utilize the optional sales tax contingency, for which there was an available balance of $262,000, <br />as it was the safest approach. <br />Commissioner Solari said that would be his Motion, but he received no Second. <br />He was informed there was already a Motion on the floor by Commissioners Wheeler and <br />Flescher. <br />The Board continued to discuss the pros and cons of using impact fees for this <br />purpose, and Chairman Davis agreed with Commissioner Wheeler that this is an appropriate use <br />for expansion of the facility. <br />Commissioner Wheeler repeated the Motion, Seconded by Vice Chairman <br />Flescher, to use impact fee funds to purchase and install a Scoreboard at the North County <br />Aquatics Center. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher wanted to use impact fees, but felt if there was continued <br />opposition from the Legal staff, they leave it open to two funding sources (optional sales tax and <br />impact fees) so they could move forward with the Board leaving the Impact Fees as the primary <br />funding source, and that staff be directed to work with the best funding source to get this board <br />moving. <br />February 17, 2009 24 <br />
