Student station fees dispute with Broward School Board
Summary
The city challenged the fees developers pay to the school district on top of impact fees, saying new state law and the Attorney General's opinion make them illegal. School board members at the meeting said they want to comply with the law but need their own lawyer's opinion first — no resolution yet, but lawyers on both sides will talk.

Impact analysis
The fee applies to one remaining residential parcel in City Center; developers or the city could face significant payments if the fee stands.
Developers and ultimately homebuyers would benefit if the extra fee is eliminated.
The school district loses a funding stream it argues covers debt service on schools already built.
