Travis County Commissioners Court
May 22, 2007
Item 19
Get the bcp fees at the same time here. The --
>> 19. 19.
>> move approval.
>> second.
>> bcp --
>> 19. Consider and take appropriate action concerning the revised fee schedule for participation under the balcones canyonlands conservation plan - shared vision for a period of two years (until July 14, 2009). Consistent with the county judge's long standing policy, which this court has adopted from time to time, we need a public hearing before we adopt these fees. My recommendation would be that we have a public hearing in June. And -- and post as an action item adoption of the fees either that same day or shortly thereafter. Some years ago we established a good policy of having a public hearing on fees before we adopt them. Now to be honest typically we don't get a whole lot of people down, but every now and then we do. Especially about -- about this -- the bcp and a little bit different than parks and park users. But this will impact prospective developers, expectant developers, right? Any problem with that?
>> two weeks, June 4th?
>> second.
>> a week later. The 12th.
>> the 12th.
>> post it for action the same day.
>> just a reminder judge and commissions, kevin connally with natural resources. The recommendations to change the fees came from a citizens advisory committee, was provided to the public then, it was also provided to the public before the bcp coordinating committee, both of those bodies agreed and approved those recommendations. We are only bringing them forward to you as a result of those previous public meetings. But we will be happy to certainly post per your request, sir.
>> there's no reason to expect opposition but in a democratic society you always offer the opportunity.
>> yes, sir.
>> quote me on that y'all after I leave the court. Any problem with that?
>> no.
>> no.
>> June 12th we will have the public hearing. All in favor? That passes by unanimous vote.
