RE: Transportation Capital Expansion Fee
The Transportation Board reviewed the Transportation Capital Expansion Fee Update presented
by Matt Baker and Dean Klingner at our August 17, 2016 meeting. The recommendations
presented by staff include: 1) Changing the name from “Street Oversizing” to “Transportation
Capital Expansion Fee;” 2) Using Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as the basis for determining
impact, instead of trips generated; 3) Simplifying the transportation impact fee; and 4)
Increasing fees to include additional improvements.
The Transportation Board voted to endorse these recommendations on a 5-0 vote. If Council and
Staff move forward with this plan then the Transportation Board would welcome ongoing
updates and discussion as new data from these changes becomes available.
Respectfully submitted,
C. Eric Shenk, Transportation Board Chair
