The central topic revolves around the feasibility and implementation of impact fees for the town. Residents and council members present varied viewpoints, addressing concerns about past legal issues related to improper fee collection, the necessity of aligning fees with specific growth-related capital improvement projects, and the financial implications of hiring consultants to establish a legally sound program. While some advocate for having impact fees as a ready “tool in the toolbox” for future growth, others argue against spending money on developing an ordinance when there are no immediate projects in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that would qualify for such funding. The discussion ultimately concludes with a decision to postpone further action until the town manager can provide a comprehensive overview. Town Councilor Ted Combes invoked Councilor Privilege delaying any action until the next Town Council meeting.
