A) AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING A REDUCTION IN CERTAIN FEES AS AN INCENTIVE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION

In the past, the City, with support of the School District, has waived school impact fees for a certain number of residential homes per year (i.e. the first 5, 10, 20 etc.). In 2022, the Council waived the first 5. Since then, all of the waivers have been utilized and Silverthorne Homebuilders, who is building homes in Oak Creek Estates, requested additional waivers. At their recent meeting, the School District indicated they’d like to waive the school impact fee for the remaining lots of Oak Creek Estates Unit 4 Phase 1, which would be for 19 additional new homes, which is reflected in the draft ordinance within the packet.

The Ordinance also includes a refund of a school impact fee that was paid by Silverthorne Homebuilders on the 6th new home that did not receive a waiver because the first 5 waivers had been utilized.

B) WAIVE THE BID PROCESS AND APPROVE A CONTRACT FOR SIDEWALK AND CURB WORK BY UNITRIM CEMENT AND LANDSCAPE, NOT TO EXCEED $29,848.66
