Hamilton City CouncilCouncil moves to adopt impact fees By Michael Howell At its March 6 meeting, the Hamilton City Council unanimously approved, upon first reading, an ordinance establishing the procedure for adoption of impact fees. The motion to approve it was amended to include a review of the ordnance by the Finance Committee before the second reading. According to the city's administrative officer, Dennis Stranger, the process would require a Resolution of Intent to actually adopt the impacts fees. This is scheduled for March 20. A public hearing is scheduled for April 17, for the council to hear public comment on proposed water and sewer rate hikes as well as establishing impact fees for water, sewer, police and fire services. Stranger said that work on proposed transportation impact fees was still incomplete. He said that the target date for implementation of the new rates and impact fees was May 1, 2007. More...
