For example, parks are directly related to a <br />subdivision but transportation is not. We do not have the statutory authority to collect for that. <br />The reason being that the roads would be improved and it would be a benefit for everyone <br />already in the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder added that development agreements do state what improvements are being <br />charged for and another example of what could be charged for is storm drainage. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/May 27, 1997 <br /> Page 1 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
