CALL TO ORDER
The Development Impact Model – Oversight Committee (DIM-OC) meeting was called to order
at 9:00 AM.
The DIM-OC continued the re-evaluation of the DIM.
The DIM-OC was updated on the Board of Supervisors’ December 6, 2013 work session where
the DIM-OC’s recommendation to enable a transportation credit was discussed. The Board of
Supervisors directed the DIM-OC to continue the DIM review to see if there are any
components that might prohibit growth. The Board on January 8, 2014 did adopt a resolution
implementing a transportation credit as part of proffer evaluations conducted over the next 2
years (expire/re-evaluate January 8, 2016).
At the January 17, 2014 meeting, the DIM-OC
• Reviewed the local tax revenues that are considered in the DIM
• Reviewed the projected revenue and expenditure values for various residential
development scenarios, and
• Reviewed how credits could be incorporated into the DIM output when considering
residential development

Meeting Minutes
January 17, 2014
It was noted that the DIM projects that county expenses (operational and capital $133,511) for
a single family detached dwelling will exceed the tax revenue generated ($73,924) by $59,587.
For a single family attached (Townhouse), the expense exceeds revenue by $39,868.
It was demonstrated that capital expenditures represent approximately 7.2 percent of the
annual county budget when looking at the last 10 year average. This percentage was provided
by the Finance Department. The DIM does not include nor project debt service costs, solely
capital costs.
The DIM-OC reviewed the Revenue Categories and the Scenarios as generated and included in
the DIM (materials provided as part of January 17, 2014 agenda mailing).
Questions were raised regarding the purpose of the DIM and the methodology utilized during
its creation. The consensus was that the DIM should accurately project capital impacts
generated from new residential development, but the DIM should also recognize tax revenue
which results from the new home. Whether or not the tax revenue be credited against the
capital demands when considering a proffer expectation continues to warrant discussion. It
was determined that a more clear understanding of the DIM methodology would be beneficial
to the DIM-OC’s task of considering potential credits, and that explanation would be best
delivered by representatives with Tishcler-Bise, creator of the Development Impact Model.
DIM-OC Action. The DIM-OC directed staff to invite a representative of Tischler-Bise to
participate in a future DIM-OC meeting in hopes of improving the DIM-OC’s understanding of
the model.
With the benefit of knowledge gained from a Tischler-Bise presentation/discussion, the DIM-OC
will continue discussion regarding possible credits for residential and proffered phased
commercial real estate tax revenue. The discussion would further evaluate how budgeted
capital and debt obligations should be treated within the DIM, and within the resulting proffer
expectation.
Next meeting of the DIM-OC will be in February. Date and time to be determined.
The meeting adjourned at 10:15 AM.
