CASE CONSIDER POLICY REGARDING TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer Background: On March 12, 1996, the City Council passed legislation instituting a Transportation Impact Fee to be collected from new developments at both subdivision platting and issuance of building permits.

A draft policy was prepared and presented to the Road and Bridge Committee at their April 9, 1996 meeting. A copy of this draft policy and background information is attached to this case.
