The public hearing is to discuss increasing the developer fee from $0.79/sf to the maximum $1.26/sf. Developer fees are used for capital projects to address population growth, such as buildings, furniture, buses, and books. While revenues from state and federal grants have guidelines and restrictions, increasing the local developer fee would allow more flexibility in funding capital projects to meet the needs of a growing student population. The recommendation is to charge the maximum fee and review expenditures annually to avoid large future increases and follow all guidelines.
