During her tenure as chair of the regional appeal committee, attorney Maya Ashkenazi observed a significant increase in the percentage of decisions regarding betterment levies, reaching 69% of all decisions in her last year in office. This contrasts with a decrease in the number of licensing cases, indicating a shift in the focus of the committees' work. Ashkenazi notes that the complexity of betterment cases, which involve high amounts and numerous disputes, requires more discussion time. She points out the existing uncertainty in the field, which complicates local authorities' budget planning and makes it difficult for developers to assess project viability. Additionally, she discusses the need for comprehensive reform of the betterment levy mechanism, as the current situation fails to provide satisfactory solutions for all parties involved. Ashkenazi recommends establishing a professional forum to assist with professional guidelines and prevent inconsistency in decisions. She emphasizes the importance of in-depth professional consideration of complex issues to ensure fair and effective solutions.
