Fees Make a Big Impact

Last night, Elburn trustees Jeff Metcalf (L) and Bill Grabarek presented Lisa Wiet, president of the Kaneland School Board, with a check for $1,007,082.03. These impact fees were collected over a 16 month period. They were generated chiefly from the development of B & B's Blackberry Creek subdivision in Elburn.

It's not every day you get to to sign a $1 million check, so before the meeting all of the Elburn trustees took turns signing this important check.

I didn't see any hands shaking that badly, because impact fee checks for the children in our Kaneland School District are a pleasure to sign.
