1. Preliminary Citywide Traffic Mitigation Fee Workshop (702)

Jim Daisa, project manager from Fehr & Peers began the presentation by explaining this study session is to receive input and direction from Council. Mr. Daisa presented initial findings on fees and capital improvement projects that could be funded by the potential revenue of $12,464,600. Items for direction included whether the proposed list of capital improvements is acceptable, the range of fee amounts acceptable, should any land uses be excluded from the fee, whether or not to charge fee for residential additions.

Council comments included exploring possible nontraditional improvements such as shuttle service or ferry subsidies. Questioned the role of staff in the selection of projects listed and the fees. Expressed desire to see the list of projects eliminated. Concern was expressed regarding inclusion of residential development due to affordable, senior and transit orientated housing. Consensus of Council was to include residential.

Mr. Daisa will prepare a draft report for the fee study with refined list to come before a Council study session at a later date.
