RESOLUTION NO. 167-03
A RESOLUTION TO REQUEST CITY STAFF TO STUDY
THE FEASIBILITY AND ADVISABILITY OF NEW IMPACT
FEES IN THE AREAS OF STREET CONSTRUCTION, FIRE
FIGHTER OPERATIONS, POLICE OPERATIONS AND
CAPITAL COSTS
WHEREAS, the City of Fayetteville is facing a long term stagnation of its
sales tax revenue despite a rapidly growing population; and
WHEREAS, the population growth is creating a need for street
construction and improvements, increased police and fire personnel and facilities
and support staff; and
WHEREAS, the City cannot afford to increase spending for road
construction, or increased personnel for police, fire and other services without
increasing revenue from property taxes or impact fees on new development; and
WHEREAS, it is only fair that the increasing population in new
development that is causing a need for new roads and increased fire, police and
other staff pay its fair share of the costs for these additional services and roads.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS:
Section 1. That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas
hereby requests city staff to study the feasibility and advisability of additional
impact fees on new development in the areas of road construction, police
operations and capital costs and fire operations and capital costs.
