Although, some of these households did not qualify for SHIP funding, their income surveys were <br /> checked as either Very Low Income (VLI) or LMI households and therefore DEO,during the monitoring <br /> visit determined that the County should not have charged Impact fees. A total of ten (10) household's <br /> impact fees will have to be refunded to the LMI households. Concurrently the sewer impact fees will <br /> need to be covered by another funding source. Please note that two (2) out of the 10 households are <br /> rental properties generating income where the owners are LMI households residing in the project area. <br /> Some of these impact fees were paid in full and some were financed. Attached is a list of the ten (10) <br /> households that will be refunded the impact fees. Upon board approval, staff will process the refunds <br /> to the LMI households and will provide documentation to the FDEO to satisfy the finding from their <br /> letter dated December 20, 2013. <br /> FUNDING: <br /> On October 16, 2012 the Board of County Commissioners approved Bid Number 2012034 and the <br /> associated funding for the West Wabasso Sewer and Drainage Improvements CDBG Project. <br /> Revenue provided by General Fund Reserve for Contingency in the amount of$28,000 is being <br /> requested to cover impact fees for several homes associated with this project.
