The Sumner School District will soon start getting more money in impact fees from builders in Bonney Lake, but not quite as much as the city originally proposed.
Assuming the ordinances pass as discussed, ratepayers can expect a 10 percent increase in sewer fees in each of the next four years, but can also expect a slight drop in water rates to help ease the pain.
Presently, the city’s school impact fee, assessed on all single-family homes built in the city, is $1,300. The amount was set by the district and the money, though collected by the city, goes directly to the district.
If passed by the council, the new fee will be $4,488.

I recently got back from a much needed vacation in the Sunshine State. Generally speaking, I’m not a particular fan of Florida – it’s hot and muggy and has an oh-so-tacky color scheme. But a week’s worth of beaches, umbrella drinks and Key West sunsets in the middle of another Pacific Northwest April was about perfect.
The victory means Bonney Lake moves on to the district tournament as the No. 5 seed and will face the No. 1 seed May 12 at Doc Harris Stadium in Camas.
