The City of Lenexa, Kansas, supports their Rain to Recreation program with a number of revenue streams. The systems development fee has been in place for more than a decade. This is a one-time fee paid by a developer at the time of permitting. The funds are used to recover the costs of expanding infrastructure systems to account for the impact of growth created by new and redevelopment. This case study describes the process of developing the fee and outlines the cost reductions it was able to produce.
