The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion <br />passed by a 3-2 vote (Commissioners Wheeler and O'Bryan <br />opposed). The Board approved not to accept the Duncan <br />Report. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to know where staff would go from here since the <br />Board rejected the report. <br />Vice Chairman Davis explained his Motion, saying that the Board <br />would now have the opportunity to discuss the issues with those who thought <br />commercial and industrial fees were too high, and that it could now be modified <br />before being accepted. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the study, the data, and how to come up with <br />reasonable impact fees on commercial and industrial development. <br />Director Brown voiced concern because the Florida Statutes require impact fee <br />studies to be based on the most recent and localized data, and he felt they were stretching the <br />bounds of the most recent data. He said if the data is 2 %2 years old then once we adopt it, it may not <br />be defendable, indicating that staff would have to start over and rebuild all of the land values, <br />construction costs, and student capacity. <br />Mr. Mullen said that things have changed, and acknowledged that he did not know <br />where to go from here. <br />The Commissioners and staff indulged in a lengthy discussion regarding accepting <br />the study, making later adjustments, and bringing it back with an Ordinance. <br />11 <br />May 9, 2008 <br />Special Call <br />
