SUBJECT: Land Use Contracts Under Development Area - School Costs
of . I have noted with some satisfaction the growth of a policy of

charging all development and connection costs for prospective subdivisions

I-would therefore request that Council request the Planning and

Zoning Committee to join with its School Board representatives to investi-

for school costs in Land Use Contracts. In so doing, a further substantial

cause of escalating taxes for our already overburdened citizens would be
