Because of projected higher SDC fees requiring a public vote, several public presentations were required to educate the public on the purpose of and basis for the derived SDCs. In addition to providing education regarding the methodologies of the program, information was provided comparing the proposed Bandon SDCS with those of other similar communities. A unified method of assessment was also developed to streamline the SDC fee determination process for both City Staff and new customers. City Of Brookings SDCs were prepared for the City Services of Water, Wastewater, Drainage and Flood Control, Transportation, and Parks and Recreation.
