Youngsville, La., officials are debating whether to levy a fee for new residential permits which could help pay for needed infrastructure maintenance. Mayor Ken Ritter is proposing an "impact fee" that would charge residential developers and home builders $2,250.
The fee will be discussed at the August 13 City Council meeting and could be voted on in September.
Ritter is not proposing the fee be levied against new businesses.
