PLANT CITY COMMISSION ROUNDUP CITY APPROVES CONTRACT FOR IMPACT FEE STUDY. BRIAN FERNANDES STAFF WRITER
IMPACT FEE STUDIES
Commissioners have approved a nearly $100,000 contract with Alfred Benesch and Company to conduct an impact fee study. During the commission meeting on Sept. 12 City Manager Bill McDaniel was told to proceed with the agreement — which also entails $6,200 in optional services for city staff and commission presentations. Typically, impact fees are reviewed to determine if the structure of the rates are com-
petitive and are legally defensible. The current rate structures are enforced for the following services: • Law enforcement – adopted on April 9, 2007 • Fire protection – adopted on January 22, 2007 • Library – adopted on August 22, 2005 • Recreation – adopted on February 23, 2004 • Transportation Mobility – adopted on February 22, 2010
On April 29 the city published an RFP for the service. Bids were due May 26. Four responses were received, three of which were considered valid.
