Municipal Impact Fee Update and Rate Increases

Expressed concern about whether the extraordinary circumstances standard under Florida law was properly met and noted timing questions regarding the required public workshops.

Questioned the timing of the second workshop and asked why police impact fee increases were so much lower than fire rescue, while also expressing concern over reductions in non-commercial fees.

Suggested that population growth projections might be understated and asked if the city could look into cutting internal budget fat before raising fees on new residents.

Raised concerns about whether the steep impact fee increases could be legally defended in court if challenged.
