• <br />4. <br />multi -family, and from $623 to $1,026 for mobile homes. <br />Chief Executive Officer Steven Tindale briefly explained <br />implementation issues relating to fee calculations, timing of payment, <br />individual assessments, portability, and the next steps in moving <br />forward. He thereafter responded to questions from the Board. <br />QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION <br />A. Board of County Commissioners <br />1:48 There was a discussion regarding tiered fees, growth rates, student <br />p.m. enrollment projections, student generation rates, charter schools not <br />being considered in the study, 17,284 permanent student stations, vacant <br />student stations, the calculated school impact fee, enclosure <br />improvements, the complex appeal process, and the comparison of <br />school impact fee schedules with other counties. <br />Chairman O'Bryan wanted to know if the School Board had taken a <br />formal vote to adopt the recommended impact fee. <br />2:55 Indian River County School Board Chairman Carol Johnson, after <br />p.m. providing background, informed Chairman O'Bryan that a vote had <br />not been taken. She said she felt comfortable saying that the School <br />Board agrees with the consultant's results. She informed the Board that <br />they wait until the money is received before they plan to use it. She also <br />noted that the School Board prefers that the impact fee be paid by those <br />who are impacting growth, rather than having the entire community <br />sharing in the expense. <br />3:01 County Administrator Joseph Baird asked Ms. Johnson if she would <br />p.m. write a formal letter stating that there was a consensus of the School <br />Board to move forward, and she agreed to do so because all five School <br />Board members felt the County needs to continue impact fees due to the <br />geographic surge. <br />Chairman O'Bryan and Vice Chairman Davis explained why it would <br />be best to have a formal School Board vote. <br />Ms. Johnson reiterated that the School Board is not planning to build <br />new schools, just new student stations. <br />3:08 Discussion ensued regarding school busses, permanent student stations, <br />p.m. portables, the number of permanent student stations (17,284) versus <br />student enrollment (15,245), and the variables that calculate the usage of <br />the stations. <br />Impact Fee Update Study Workshop Page 3 <br />100 <br />
