On June 3, 2025, the City advertised RFP#25017 - Comprehensive Impact Fee Study for Transportation, Parks, Law Enforcement and Fire Rescue to solicit vendors capable of providing these services to the City.

Staff discussed this study with the City Commission on Saturday May 3 and received a consensus that this study was to be done by solicitation. The City Commission provided the necessary funding as part of Resolution No. 2025-52 Mid-Year Budget Amendment.
