MAR 6 1985 BOOK 60 F,�GE 99 case because it is felt with the additional development that is going to occur on SR 60, 16th Street will bear a greater percentage of traffic than a normal secondary collector road. Public Works Director Davis stated that account is in the red a million dollars as we get into 1986, and the Administrator stressed we will be adjusting other projects because of this. Commissioner Bird asked if the account is actually in the red by the total commitments, and Director Davis stated that there are approved projects, and we will have to do some bonding or some innovative financing; he also noted that the Traffic Impact Fee money will not pay for this type of project where you are paving an existing two lane unpaved road. The impact fee is set up to be a revenue source to expand a multi lane type roadway to accommodate new development, and he believed we are wandering from this philosophy. Commissioner Scurlock felt these fees could be used to widen the bridge, and Attorney Brandenburg confirmed that impact fees may be used to take care of future needs, and if that need happens to include paving an unpaved road, that can be included. Commissioner Scurlock clarified that we haven't spent a million dollars today that we do not have - what Mr. Davis is relating to is projections on a graph stretched out to the year 2000. Commissioner Bird agreed we may have to adjust some of our priorities. Commissioner Bowman stated that she would prefer to defer the whole project until the area is further developed and more people can pay. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried 3-1 with Commissioner Bowman voting in opposition and Commissioner Wodtke being absent.
