Invitation to Negotiate Site Selection for a Cellulosic <br />Ethanol Plant, as recommended in the memorandum of <br />June 29, 2007. <br />11.A.2. CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING AN IMPACT FEE UPDATE <br />REVIEW TASKFORCE <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating reported that staff was in the <br />process of preparing the mandated update of the County's impact fees. He provided update from a <br />public meeting held last week that led to the belief that they should develop a taskforce. He said <br />staff has looked at Martin County and how they have established a taskforce; and based on that, <br />staff has come up with its recommendations for an Impact Fee Taskforce. <br />Board members discussed whether to appoint a taskforce, or to hold workshops. <br />They also discussed and made suggestions for the membership and organization of the task force. <br />Nancy Offutt, representing Treasure Coast Builders Association, concluded that <br />now was not the time to increase impact fees because the economy is so fragile. The Association <br />suggested a taskforce for the future, and not to look back at the past. She said they were okay with <br />creating a taskforce for the future, and supported the idea for workshops. <br />In response to Commissioner Davis's question of whether they wanted it <br />formalized, Ms. Offutt said maybe for the future, and have it broad based. She had no problem <br />taking the informal approach that the Board wants. <br />Chairman Wheeler wanted to have input from everyone, and then make a decision. <br />Administrator Baird asked that staff be directed on whether or not to have workshops. <br />July 10, 2007 26 <br />
