EXHIBIT A <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />Clancy Mullen of Duncan Associates will attend a meeting of the Board of County Commissioners and <br />make a presentation explaining the fundamentals of road impact fee methodology. This presentation will <br />be coordinated with the County's traffic consultant for this meeting, who is expected to be Scot Leftwich. <br />The presentation will explain the fundamental concepts of consumption -based traffic impact fees, of <br />which the study prepared by Duncan Associates to update the County's current fees is a variant. In <br />particular, the presentation will explain how the methodology divides trip rates in half, so that trips to <br />nonresidential uses are not being counted twice. It also needs to explain how the methodology accounts <br />for pass -by trips, so that a trip from home to work that stops at several stores only counts as one trip to <br />the workplace and no trips to the stores. It will also be explained that while a new branch bank or <br />convenience retail in certain locations could reduce some trip lengths for a short while, that does not <br />provide a reasonable basis for reducing fees for those types of uses, and certainly not for nonresidential <br />in general. Finally, the presentation will explain the methodology that was developed in a study that <br />MuniFinancial did for Marion County to justify putting most road costs on residential under the theory that <br />"retail follows rooftops." <br />
