Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 12, 2011 Page 32 different intensities having different impacts. Mayor Roe noted that this change in methodology provided a big picture change with network trips for 2030 shifted to the background with public contributions included; in addition to developing a base line pre-2006 credit in addition to future improvements. Mayor Roe noted that the traffic study looked at an analysis throughout all improvements, with network trips per improvement adding up to an aggregate number with different impacts for projects other than original assumptions. Mayor Roe questioned what the trigger was and how to account for when that happened and how to be fair so the last one doesn't have to pay for the others. Ms. Bloom advised that previous traffic studies, as well as incremental tests, and projected 2015 and 2030 studies would determine the cause, whether background traffic or a development proposal, or subsequent growth. Mayor Roe confirmed that, once a development was in place, contributions would go toward future development, with the past being accounted for in price updates annually; providing for fairness to be built into the system and allowing for much greater comfort with those assumptions. At the request of Councilmember Willmus on Subarea 3, Block 1 (Attachment C), Ms. Bloom advised that the discrepancy pointed out was created by the timing of the cost allocation study; with the public street installed and cost allocations for those improvements not yet included on Table 4 and needing to be updated.

Mr. Rancone ques- tioned the legality of this type of formula; however, he expressed appreciation to staff giving it further annual review and reflecting market place changes since 2006, resulting in the numbers being reduced substantially, even though they re- mained extensive. Mr. Rancone noted that the buildings on their parcels had been decommissioned in early 2000 in anticipation of the previous redevelopment; and he questioned if those numbers were still relative given the slow pace of devel- opment in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area. Mr. Rancone opined that the out-of-pocket for the City would net around $6.5 million, and as it affected only the west end parcels, it may prove to be the only infrastructure needing done and completed already. Mr. Rancone suggested that the City focus on what had been completed and allo- cate those dollars versus projecting what could possibility be positive or negative if it doesn't' develop up to Fairview Avenue. Mr. Rancone opined that there was
