EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
D Scot Leftwich, President of Leftwich Consulting Engineers, Inc. will prepare a presentation that will
encompriss the fundamental concepts of consumption -based impact fees. In particular, the presentation
will expl<im how the methodology divides trip rates in half, so that trips to nonresidential uses are not
I>einy vomited twice.
Our presentation will explain how the methodology accounts for pass -by trips, so that a trip from home to
work that stops at several stores only counts as one trip to the workplace and no trips to the stores. The
prE senkition will also be explained that while a new branch bank or convenience retail in certain locations
could reduce some trip lengths for a short while, that does not provide a reasonable basis for reducing
fcles for those types of uses, and certainly not for nonresidential in general. Finally, the presentation will
expl��in the methodology that was developed in a study that MuniFinancial did for Marion County to justify
pitting most road costs on residential under the theory that "retail follows rooftops."
