He clarified staff' s calculations , time frames , and the determination for refunds ; and thereafter <br /> summarized the seven appeal points from Mr . Wilson and staff' s responses (page 266 in the <br /> Agenda Packet) . Director Keating concluded his presentation by pointing out that the County <br /> Attorney supports his findings that the applications were properly denied since all of the <br /> applications were based on the six-year refund ordinance , and all of the impact fees were <br /> encumbered or spent within the six-year period . <br />! x <br /> Discussion ensued between the Commissioners and staff regarding the calculation of <br /> impact fee refunds and property owners being entitled to an impact fee refund only if the impact <br /> fees paid for the property were not expended or encumbered within the six -year period . <br /> Management and Budget Director Jason Brown, using a PowerPoint presentation (on <br /> file) , summarized IFC ' s appeal of the impact fee refund denials . He explained the County ' s <br /> methodology for first in-first out when impact fees are collected, and reported on the <br /> expenditures and revenues for District 3 , from inception ( 1999 -2011 ) , as well as the refunded <br /> fees paid in 2005 and 2006 . He read Section 1000 . 15 (2 ) (b) of the County Code , which basically <br /> says that if the funds are not encumbered, the County is to identify the specific property for <br /> which the funds have not been encumbered, which would exclude the funds that have been <br />? expended or encumbered from any refunds . Director Brown explained why the 13 refund <br /> applications were denied : one application was for the first calendar quarter of 2005 and paid <br /> during the January 1 to March 31 time frame , so those funds had to be expended/encumbered on <br /> or before March 31 , 2011 ; eleven applications were from the last quarter of 2005 and needed to <br /> be expended/ encumbered by December 31 , 2011 ; and one application was from the first quarter <br /> of 2006 and reached the six-year period on March 31 , 2012 . He said the calculations were <br /> conducted in accordance with the ordinance change that was adopted in March 2012 . He also <br /> pointed out that all refund calculations were verified by the Finance Director; financial records <br /> were audited by an independent CPA firm ; and calculations were made in accordance with the <br /> revised Code (Ordinance 2012 - 004) , effective March 13 , 2012 . <br /> June 19 , 2012 16 <br /> 142 PG 598 <br />
