Item 14.B · Budget
Fourth amendment to the FY 2019-2020 budget
Approved · 5-0
After a public hearing with no comments, the council approved the fourth amendment to the current budget, increasing appropriations across General Government, Enterprise, Capital Projects, Impact Fee and Debt Service funds. Council Member Jared Gray confirmed $25,000 of COVID-19 spending is reimbursable with federal funds arriving in the next fiscal year. Council Member Colby Curtis questioned fast-track plan review and inspection fees, which cover inspector overtime, and suggested ending the practice; Community Development Director Steve Mumford said developers pay for out-of-hours work that does not delay other applicants.
Item 15.A · Development
Revised Sage Park Business Center development agreement
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The council approved the revised agreement with two conditions: reimbursement for road upsizing uses unimproved residential rather than agricultural land value, and the right-in/right-out access follows the attached concept plan and existing city spacing and design standards, including acceleration and deceleration lanes. The road is up to a 94-foot major collector set by the city, with reimbursement for width beyond 65 feet. Applicant Isaac Patterson of Patterson Construction said the traffic impact alone would not warrant a collector road width and that he would prefer to withdraw the rezone and build only residential. Gray opposed the access without acceleration lanes. Curtis wanted a 77-foot road.
- Applicant: Isaac Patterson, Patterson Construction
Item 16.A · Taxes and fees
Parks and recreation impact fee
No action
Staff removed the parks impact fee from the agenda to verify the fee calculations. Council Member Colby Curtis said he was concerned builders were exerting undue influence on the consultant; Mayor Tom Westmoreland called the review an overabundance of caution.
Item 16.B · Taxes and fees
Storm water impact fee
Approved · 5-0
The council approved the storm water impact fee ordinance. Fee ordinances take effect after a 90-day wait for new permits. Dollar amounts are not in the minutes; proposed amounts were listed May 5.

Culinary water impact fee
Approved · 5-0
The council approved the culinary water impact fee, changing only the name of the Central Water Project one-time development fee to a Central Water Project infrastructure fee.
Item 16.D · Taxes and fees
Transportation impact fee
Tabled · 5-0
The council tabled the transportation impact fee, which dropped after completed special improvement district payments and reimbursement agreements were removed. Council Member Jared Gray objected to lowering the fee given road needs; Council Member Melissa Clark asked whether General Fund payment for traffic projects reduces fee calculations. City Administrator Ifo Pili said the plan will add future projects after research.
