(CEDAR CITY) – The Cedar City Council has cut impact fees for Southern Utah University. At last week’s city council meeting, councilmembers approved a resolution to cut $116,152 from the originally proposed impact fees of $153,527 for SUU’s Science Center, settling a disagreement over the fees. City Manager Ron Chandler said when the city impact fee ordinance was first created, the transportation impact fee analysis did not include a category for educational institutions and government buildings. However, in May 2009, the state legislature made a law permitting municipalities to charge impact fees on state-funded buildings.
