cities, the total amount of fees imposed on the area and adjustments

fees collected on new housing, and commented that before approving the
proposals before the Board, she desired to have a breakdown of all the
fees charged in East County in chart form, including all fees imposed
on any housing development. She noted that when fees are imposed in
increments, there is a need to review the total from time to time.

a chart had been prepared several years ago, and that it could be
readily updated.

facilities and appropriate financing, and requested enough time to
