CHAIR'S REPORT

Chair Conroy made the following remarks:

Today I am making an important recommendation that will reduce the costs of building in

DuPage County. It involves our Transportation Impact Fee.

The DuPage County Fair Share Road Improvement Impact Fee Program began in 1989. Its intent

is to help the County pay for highway capital improvements that are made necessary by new

development.

· Fees are assessed on NEW DEVELOPMENT and RE-DEVELOPMENT.

· Fees are collected on residential and commercial improvements throughout the County,

regardless of whether the development is in a municipality or in unincorporated DuPage

County.

· Fees are also collected whether a development is located adjacent to a County highway or

to a State or municipal road.

· Impact Fees raise about $1 million annually to fund transportation capital projects.

After careful analysis of the impact fee project eligibility, the Division of Transportation’s

funding sources, and projected budget, it is my recommendation that the County end this

program and eliminate the Fair Share Road Improvement Impact Fee.

I believe removing this fee, which is cumbersome to calculate and impose, will free up staff time

and give developers one more reason to choose to build in DuPage County.

Transportation Committee Chair Mary Ozog, Transportation Director Chris Snyder and I agree

that the Transportation budget is robust enough to absorb the reduction, without sacrificing

maintenance services or the quality of our County highways.

Tomorrow, Transportation Chair Ozog will convene a meeting of the Impact Fee Advisory

Committee, and I respectfully ask the committee to consider my request to eliminate County

Highway Impact Fees.

If the committee agrees, a resolution eliminating the fees would be considered by the

Transportation Committee on May 16th and by the full County Board on May 23rd. If it is the

will of this Board, we could then terminate collections effective immediately.

I ask for your support of this effort to streamline our processes and make locating new building

projects or improving existing buildings in DuPage a more attractive prospect.
