OF NEW HIGH SCIDOL
City Manager Ron Wicker explained this matter was looked at in a number of different
perspectives. We then looked at the possibility of the timeliness of the submittal
of the plans and specifications for the new high school. Going back, Mr. Wicker
said, and looking at our policy in the past, if plans were submitted before Capital
204
Recovery Fees were put into effect, we did not charge the applicant capital cost
recovery fees when the permit was issued after the effective date of the fees. In
this particular case, at the ending of the moratorium on capital recovery fees, we
had at least ten different applications for permits submitted before the moratorium
ceased and the new rates went into effect. Eight of these were residential buildings
that, when issued, the impact fee did not apply even though the new rates were then
in effect.
In the case of the Pearland high school, Mr. Wicker said he believed those plans and
specifications were submitted sometime back in February. Based on that and based on
the practice that we carried forward with other permits we've issued, the school
district would not have to pay the Capital Recovery fee if we followed the same
procedure.
City Attorney Robert Talton advised that if the City treated the school district any
differently from anyone else; and since this has been the practice with applicants in
the past, he feels there would be a problem if we did indeed force the school to pay
Capital Cost Recovery fees.
Mayor Reid explained in this case we are being consistent in not charging the fee for
all applications applied for during the moratorium.
Mayor Reid informed that by taking no action tonight the Council would absolve the
impact fees on the school plans submitted during the moratorium.
The meeting adjoumed at 7:44 P. M.
