BEH is well versed in local budget law and legal issues surrounding infrastructure financing.
In particular, we have:
- designed and implemented Systems Development Charge (SDC) ordinances
- defended appeals of city SDC charges and other financing tools
- created advance financing ordinances and agreements to allow for oversizing of public facilities
- negotiated and developed intergovernmental agreements for grants
and other financing mechanisms for public improvements
