Prescott City Council <br />Regular Voting Meeting <br />May 13, 2014 <br />Page 11 <br />on value and Prescott's impact fees are based on a flat amount. There are a number of <br />lots in Prescott that are vacant, have water and were platted well before the 1998 <br />mandate. He said those lots can be used for starter houses. The lots are being <br />bypassed by builders because the cost per square foot is higher than for a builder who <br />has a $500,000.00 house on $200,000.00 of land. They each pay $15,500.00 for impact <br />fees. <br />Mayor Kuykendall asked if this was an option. <br />Mr. Woodfill said that it was not an option. He said public safety fees were done on a <br />square foot basis for commercial uses, but overall, water and wastewater are done on <br />meter size. He noted that fees for homes will differ depending on what zone the home is <br />in. <br />Mr. McConnell said this is the methodology prescribed by law; the City does not have <br />the ability to modify the methodology. The reasoning is that it is an assessment on the <br />impact on infrastructure. <br />Councilman Kuknyo asked if everyone in the state does it the same way. Mr. Woodfill <br />said yes. <br />COUNCILWOMAN WILCOX MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 4225-1434 <br />WITH OPTION 2 AS OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT, TO CHARGE ZERO <br />DOLLAR AND ZERO CENT ($0.00) RATES FOR EACH OF FIRE AND EMS <br />DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES AND POLICE DEPARTMENT IMPACT FEES FROM <br />AUGUST 1, 2014, UNTIL JANUARY 1, 2015, AT WHICH TIME SAID IMPACT FEES <br />SHALL COMPORT WITH DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES SCHEDULE OF EXHIBIT <br />B; SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN BLAIR; <br />COUNCILMAN ARNOLD OFFERED AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION TO <br />INCLUDE A DATE CERTAIN OF ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 9, 2014, TO <br />EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT THE COUNCIL CHOOSES TO COLLECT THOSE <br />FEES, PRIOR TO JANUARY 1, 2015.
