By C.R. Truitt Flu shots available from 9:00 to 5:00 MORONI—Mayor Ron Pipher says the Moroni City Council is close to making a decision on whether or not to go ahead with a plan to implement impact fees in the city for the first time. The council approached the subject of impact fees at a Thursday, Nov. 6 meeting with Darin Robertson of the Jones and Demille engineering firm. The city is looking to the firm for help in creating an impact-fee analysis and fee schedule. Robertson explained to council members that impact fees are different from utility hookup fees. Hookup fees, he said, usually cover only the actual hookup cost, and that the city generally makes no money from them. Impact fees, on the other hand, are a one-time charge on new development to cover Mt. Pleasant Clinics: Mt. Pleasant Health Dept.

Staff writer the cost of the development’s impact to system resources, like water storage, sewer mains and irrigation systems. Impact fees can’t be used for regular maintenance but are held in reserve to be used for expansion and improvements of systems as needed. They also require special accounting of how they are used, and must be used within five years of acquiring them He said that, combined, impact fees can range from $2,500 to $5,000. Robertson said for the city to charge impact fees it would have to create and submit a capital facilities plan to the state for approval. He said Jones and Demille could create a plan that would include most impact fees. The cost for the firm to write the plan would be about $30,000, and would include impact-fee proposals for water, sewer, irrigation and streets. To help pay for the plan, Robertson recommended the city request funds from the Community Impact Board, which he said generally gives a 50-percent grant for such projects, the city matching the other 50 percent. On Tuesday this week, Pipher said, “We haven’t said ‘yes,’ to it yet. It’s still a proposal.” However, he added there’s a “really good chance” that the council will vote on going ahead with the proposal at the next council meeting. “If we’re going to do it, we ought to get started right away. We feel we’re really behind on that,” he said. “When you really need your car to go” SERVICE DIRECTORY Rates: $25/1x2” ad per Month, $50/2x2” Ad (on 6-Month Contract) GENERAL CONTRACTORS attorney at law plumbing/heating ROOFING Kimball Brothers Carpentry Fountain Green 340-0763 FREE CONSULTATION Personal Injury • Divorce • Criminal • Probate • DUI Worker’s Comp • Adoptions • Juvenile • Property 435-528-3708 801-779-9230 Fax: 801-779-1840 • Finish carpentry • Historic preservation • Remodeling, repairs • Framing Licensed and Insured gifts attorney at law DIVORCE?
