The June 18 Explorer has an article and a number of scenarios as to water rate fee increases.
We note that Mayor Loomis sounds a little like a politician when he says: “The bill as written makes it a little bit of a challenge when it comes to planning.”
The bill he refers to is the one that home builders and others in the construction industry have been busily working with members of the state legislature — including Senate President Tim Bee (R-Tucson) — to pass legislation that changes how cities and towns collect and implement impact fees.
As we discussed in a number of earlier posts on this subject, if the legislatures pass this bill it may freeze water impact fees for two years. That is why many other communities in Arizona are against it.
We hope the council---with or without the backing of Loomis, will take the necessary action to overcome this bill that is good for the builders, and not so good for the citizens.
