The record

Why it exists

“The Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the fee is to generate DIF revenue with which to expand the aquatics centers capacity to meet the added demands created by the construction of additional residential dwelling units. The City has preliminary plans on locating a $12.0 million aquatic facility in the City. The collected DIF revenue will only finance just over 68% of the facility as it is an increase in the existing standard. The remaining 32% will need to come from sources other than impact fees.”
