The Las Cruces City Council will be voting on the proposed "IMPACT FEE CAPITAL IMPOVEMENT PLAN for Major Roadways, Drainage and Public Safety" during the regular scheduled Las Cruces City Council meeting to be held at 1:00 pm Monday May 16, 2011 in City Council Chambers.  They will be voting on four different items likely to be as follows:

• Major Roads Impact Fee
• Drainage Impact Fee
• Public Safety Impact Fee
• Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan for Major Roadways, Drainage, and Public Safety

There will be no provision for pre-resolution credits for infrastructure installed prior to passage of this new impact fee.  These new impact fees are on all new construction.  Including Office, Commercial, Hotel / Motel, Warehouse, Mini-Warehouse, Industrial, Institutional, Retail, Residential, Multi-Family, EVERYTHING!

To review the fee schedule refer to page (5) five in the IMPACT FEE CAPITAL IMPOVEMENT PLAN for Major Roadways, Drainage, and Public Safety.  To see the actual plan you can go to http://www.las-cruces.org/Departments/Public%20Works/Services/Engineering%20Services/~/media/Public%20Works/Engineering%20Services/LasCruces_CIP_2010update13.ashx

Up to this point everything has been informational, and benign in nature.  If it is going to be defeated, now is the time to defeat this resolution!
