citizens of the County with the best possible service in the most cost effective and reasonable

those parties deriving the benefit from such services; and
WHEREAS, the updated fee schedule prepared by the Growth Management Director for
providing these services includes the estimated direct costs and reasonable indirect costs
associated with the review and processing of planning and development approval applications
and site plans, on -site biological reviews, appeals, preparation of official documentation
verifying existing development rights and other processes and services; and
WHEREAS, the Board has discussed the need to adjust the fee schedule to compensate
the county for resources needed in excess of the fee estimates included in the base fees; and

than those funds coming from other sources; and
WHEREAS, the Board heard testimony and evidence presented as to the appropriate fee
schedule during a public hearing on April 15, 2015;
