AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPMENT FEES
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the city council with
information about the city’s various development fees and respond to
any questions councilors may have.
HISTORY: State statute provides the city with authority to establish various fees
which are intended to pay the cost of infrastructure required for
development.
To be a modern city the following systems must be built and operated:
• Water System including production, treatment, storage and
distribution.
• Sanitary Sewer System including gravity lines, force mains and
lift stations.
• Storm Water System including collection, distribution, treatment
and disposal of surface water.
• Street System including a transportation system, road right-of-
way and associated improvements for residential, minor collector,
collector and arterial streets together with the signage and
signalization.
CURRENT
CIRCUMSTANCES:
There are two classes of fees. The first are development or subdivision
fees. Typically, these fees are collected at the time of final platting and
execution of the development agreement.
The second type of fees are connection charges. They are collected at
building permit issuance.
Shown below is a development handout which is based upon the city
code showing city development related fees by type and amount.

ISSUES: The purpose of this portion of the work session is to review with the city
council:
1. Each development and connection fee.
2. The purpose of each.
3. The way they are calculated and used.
4. When the fee is collected.
With this information the city council will be in a better position to consider
agenda item 9B scheduled for the August 21, 2017 meeting.
