Director , commented on the application of the various fees in effect, followed by MikeShelton, City 6 • 0 clarifying that the purpose of the July 1 effective date was to allow sufficient lead time so as not to 'catch' certain applicants, due to the potential financial impact of both the sewer and development fees.
