SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution F. st~U~ Park Dedication Fees
City Code Section 18-79 spccifica flint park dedication fcc8 bc established
annual]y by thc City Council. The hu~t time these fees were raised was in
2001. I am rccommcu~ tluu: thc park dedication fcc bc increased sgain for
2003. In sddifion, I am recommending that ~ ~ and U'uil fees, currently
being assessed independently, be combined into one park dedication fee. The
existmace of two tides for essentially the same fee results in ummcessary
confusion in the developm~t ~.
Lastly, I am reeomtmndiug that City Code bc emended to specify that park
dedication, or an equivalent amount in cash, be collected at thc time of
sulxlivision approval. Ctu~nfly the City collects one4hird of park dedication
fees in cash at thc time of subdivision at~m3val, with ~ rffmaind~ being
collected at the time of building permit approval. This method is unusual in
thc mctropolitma region ~nd r~u~s in unn~e~ry ~nd cumb~some
