Charges
Development Services Coordinator Matt Samitore explained that the City has
completed its annual update of the Capital Improvement List (CIP) and System
Development Charges (SDC). The Street, Packs, and Storm Drain SDC
increases and the Water SDC decreased. A new charge was added for collecting
and distributing the Medford Water Commission SDC.
The SDC is based upon the Capital Improvement List and the estimates for each
of the projects in relationship to the City's population, existing capital and
estimated population growth. In analyzing the project list it was determined that
two major amendments needed to occur. In November, 2005, the City finalized
the East Pine Street Corridor Study Project cost study. An AdHoc .committee
decided the best course of action for paying for the improvements was for all
growth in the City to contribute. The City also updated the cost estimates for Park
construction and added a Community Center to the Capital Improvement List.
The Storm Drain SDC increased slightly to reflect higher construction costs.
Mike Quilty made a motion to approve Resolution No. 1116, A Resolution
Revising the Water, Transportation, Parks, and Stonnwater System
