Council members showed little appetite, however, for tapping into the city's pool of impact fees. Mayor Adrian Fine called the museum project "laudable" but suggested that allocating the impact fees to the museum would represent "an end run around the financial process." Impact fees, he said, are intended for a whole range of priorities relating to parks, libraries and community centers. "If I knew we could've done it on council, I would've done it years ago," Fine said. "I would have said, I love bike lanes and dog parks and let's use the impact fees to fund those. I find this entirely inappropriate."
