BIMC 15.28.060 specifies a formula for the calculation of school impact fees. BIMC
15.28.100 requires the City's Finance Director and the School District's Business Mana-
ger to update the calculation each March (using the formula specified in BIMC 15.28.060)
and forward a recommended revision to the fees "within 45 days" to the City Council (the
Code does not, however, require the City Council to accept the recommendation). During
1993 and 1994, the fees were recalculated according to the formula as required, but the
City Council declined to adjust the amounts. As a result, a significant difference grew
between the amount of the fees being charged and the formula specified in the Code. In
1995, a transition was agreed upon by the City Council in which the average of the
current year's fee and the amount calculated by the formula was to be used as the next
year's fee (providing a moving average for the fee). As part of that compromise, the
Council agreed that it would consistently apply the moving average fee in the future
(rather than risk a legal challenge resulting from the fee becoming significantly
different from the cal- culation formula required by our Code).
