Ms. Bettman said the Lane County Home Builders Association commissioned surveys that established the <br />connection between nonresidential uses and parks. She thought the 16.4 percent allocation was justifiable. <br /> <br />In regard to the level of service, Ms. Bettman said that it was true that SDCs were complex and she <br />questioned why the council would make it more complex by adding in a geographic factor. No other SDC <br />included a geographic factor. Adoption of the amendment would not make a difference in the rates, but it <br />would make the SDC more simple and consistent with how the City calculated other SDCs. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly agreed there was no dollar difference involved but the council was faced with a choice between <br />two consistencies. The council could be consistent with other SDC methodologies or consistent with the <br />PROS Plan. He would not support the amendment because he favored consistency with the PROS Plan. <br /> <br />Speaking to an earlier concern voiced by Mr. Poling, Mr. Kelly referred him to 127-128 of the AIS and <br />noted that nonresidential development was divided into different classes and assessed a different amount to <br />reflect the varying levels of impact. <br /> <br /> The amendment to the motion failed, 5:3; Ms. Bettman, Ms. Taylor, and Ms. Ortiz voting yes. <br /> <br />Mr. Papé confirmed with Mr. McVey that the revenues involved were allocated for capital projects only. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling thanked Roxie Cuellar and David Hinkley for their e-mail correspondence regarding the topic. <br />He said that he would vote to support the motion and send the item to a public hearing, but his mind could <br />change following testimony. <br /> <br /> The motion passed, 6:2; Ms. Taylor and Ms. Bettman voting no. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Mr. Kelly, Mr. McVey confirmed that the RAC was a department advisory <br />committee rather than a council advisory committee. He said the council could direct the City Manager as <br />to how the department collected input. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly requested a memorandum from staff on why it might want to continue the RAC. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:28 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis M.
