12. DEPARTMENTAL MATTERS <br />12.A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />12.A. 1. CONSIDERATION OFIMPACT FEE CONSULTANT CONTRACT <br />MODIFICATION <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating recapped the backup <br />memorandum dated July 7, 2008, to provide an update on the July 2007 Duncan Associates <br />Impact Fee Study, which has not yet received Board approval. At this time, Duncan Associates <br />has expended the money allotted for the Study; however they (Duncan) would like to return, with <br />Traffic Engineering Consultant, Leftwich and Associates, to address the concerns raised by the <br />Board at the May 9, 2008 Workshop Meeting. Director Keating asked the Board to concur with <br />Duncan's selection of the traffic engineer, Leftwich and Associates; and to approve staff's <br />recommendation to authorize the $11,500.00 expenditure for additional Impact Fee Study work; <br />to allow staff to extend Duncan Associates' Contract; and to allow staff to schedule a Workshop <br />meeting wherein Duncan Associates and the traffic engineer make presentations. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, for discussion, <br />to approve staff's recommendation. <br />Commissioner Wheeler aired concerns generated by a negative e-mail (copy on <br />file) regarding the Duncan Associates Study, which the Commissioners had received from Nancy <br />Offutt, of the Treasure Coast Builders Association (TCBA). The e-mail suggested that the <br />Duncan Report was flawed and obsolete, and also offered suggestions regarding the impact fees. <br />Administrator Baird voiced that he was not in agreement with the e-mail, or with <br />the Impact Fee Report which had been generated by the Treasure Coast Builders Association. <br />July 15, 2008 25 <br />
