S EP 141987 BOOK 69.. PAGE 429 - On Petition Paving, the Chairman believed we should look very closely at non -participation by the county and have the petitioners bearing 1000 of the cost. In the past all costs were not included - i.e., we did not include base material, and we, therefore, actually were paying more than 250. The Chairman noted that it appears from the chart shown we are talking about more than doubling our debt. Mr. Diamond agreed, but reiterated that the list does not include Rockridge. Also, the bottom list shows things that are needed in the future, and they all are vital things for which they do not have the numbers. The Chairman asked where we are in regard to coming up with user fees for development of parks. Director Baird advised that study is on hold until we decide how we are going to handle recreation - whether we are going to contract with the City or have our own recreation department. it is necessary to determine which way we are going before we can come up with a user fee. Chairman Scurlock asked why we can't move toward impact fees. Whatever the improvement will be, City or County, it will be in that particular zone, and he felt strongly that we are going to have to go toward an impact fee for recreation and parks because we are going to have to set priorities, and he felt we have to build a courthouse and expand the jail ahead of developing more recreation facilities. He believed we have enough park land for our existing population. OMB Director Baird noted that we had a full study authorized 0 and staff will continue to work on impact fees and bring it back separately. Commissioner Eggert commented that beyond considering just -- the acquisition of land, etc., we also need to bill out what these various projects will cost to develop and what they will cost to man. It is fine to go with the jail, for instance, but now we need extra personnel. 5
