Vice Chairman Davis asked if there was a way of working into the system, at the time of <br />Charter School enrollment, to get some accurate numbers as far as services being provided, that <br />are not costing us as much money as the study purported. Mr. Mullen said they did an <br />adjustment for Charter School enrollment, and the student generation rates were taken into <br />account. <br />Commissioner Wheeler observed that Broward County's fees were "way low", and asked <br />if it was because they were on build -out and not building new roads. He also inquired if they <br />were charging what they needed to charge for impact fees, or whether they were funding their <br />infrastructure in other ways. Attorney Wright and Mr. Mullen responded to the former and <br />other questions from Commissioner Wheeler regarding the determination to put these State lands <br />under Parks and Recreation. <br />Commissioner Wheeler liked the idea of not raising impact fees, but questioned where <br />the extra money would come from if we were to build new roads and not raise impact fees. <br />Chairman Bowden called a break at 3:07 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 3:21 p.m. <br />with Commissioners Davis and Flescher absent; both returned at 3:23 p.m. <br />George Vital, 5000 16th Street, felt what we really need is an efficiency study of how the <br />government can save taxes. He could not see how the poor people of this County could afford <br />more money for a house. He was against the increase in impact fees, and hoped the Board would <br />weigh both sides. <br />Chuck Mechling, 1999 Pointe West Drive, was bothered that the current Report <br />discussed so much about the Tindale -Oliver Report. He agreed that growth needs to pay for <br />itself, but questioned, at what cost. He hoped the Board would take time to review the numbers. <br />He felt the issues not being discussed were the commercial and industrial aspects.
