The ordinance also would allow town commissioners to review the fee schedule every year as part of the budget proccss. The planning and zoning board would automatically review the fees every two years. Town Attorney Ken Campbell said previous talk about the fees re sulting in a lawsuit against the town should not be a concern. State law allows towns to collect impact fees for sewer and stormwatcr runoff systems.

'That makes your ground a lit tle more solid," Campbell said. Impact fees will be the subject of one of the two public hearings slated Aug. 25. Town officials also will seek comments that night on pro posed changes in the penally clauses of several lown ordinances. Campbell has proposed amend ments that would standardize the penalty clauses. Commissioners also say they are interested in increasing the percentage of fines collected by the town. 'Hie Holden Beach Police Depart ment issued 279 parking tickets in July, hut town officials say the col lection rate is only about 50 percent.
