OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

recommendation

This report is presented to meet the reporting requirements of RMC 3.10.190, Annual Impact Fee Report.

The report is provided to Council after the completion of the annual financial report. The report is delayed due to the timing of the City’s annual audit that concluded on January 24, 2023.
