Prescott City Council Study Session—September 19,2006 Page 6 Speakers: Jack Wilson, 1514 Eagle Ridge Road —was in favor of proceeding with the development of the master plan; $170,000 was a bargain with $140,000 from impact fees and urged Council to go forward with the project. Ethan Edwards, CEO of Yavapai County Contractors Association —was using impact fees appropriate as this was not 100% growth related and Budget/Finance Director Mark Woodfill responded it was an appropriate use of impact fees to study where future parks were needed due to a larger population. Jim Lawrence, 345 High Chaparral Loop—The Open Space Acquisition Committee wanted to assist in the study as they were a stakeholder. Councilwoman Suttles asked if open space would have anything to do with the study and Mr. McCasland replied it was one of the components and water conservation would also be involved and any recreational user group. Mayor Simmons clarified the committee input would not be so much in their role in acquiring open space but what could be blended into the open space owned by the city. C.
