Recreation Impact Fee and ratify the scheduled fee increase for June 2011.

Recreation Impact Fee. The resolution recommends that the Common Council ratify and approve the

prior to its implementation. See the excerpt below:

following manner provided the Common Council shall approve each subsequent increase prior to

$1,526, during months 25 -36 of the effectiveness of this PRIF Ordinance; $1,679, during months
37 -48 of the effectiveness of this PRIF Ordinance; or $1,847, after month 48; times
The Department will propose this item be sent for review by the Impact Fee Advisory Committee prior to
