G-6 STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE: September 12, 2017 TO: FROM: City Council Regan M. Candelario, City Manager Maureen Chapman, Interim Finance Manager 922 Machin Avenue Novato, CA 94945 415/ 899-8900 FAX 415/ 899-8213 www.novato.org SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION REGARDING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORTS FOR 2014/15 AND 2015/16 AND ASSOCIATED FIVE YEAR FINDINGS AND RECEIVE AND FILE THE ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORT FOR FISCAL YEARS 2014/15 AND 2015/16 REQUEST Adopt a resolution adopting findings regarding the unspent balances of Development Impact Fee ( ) funds as of June 30, 2016, consistent with State law; and, receive and file the annual Development Impact Fee Report for fiscal years 2014/15 and 2015/16. DISCUSSION In accordance with the City s General Plan, the City of Novato maintains and improves a wide variety of public infrastructure, including streets and intersections; recreation and cultural facilities; storm drainage improvements; bike and transit infrastructure; open space; and many other public assets. When a private development project is approved, the project developer is typically required to build certain elements of the City s infrastructure, and to pay fees to mitigate the cost of providing certain public infrastructure that is impractical to build with each development. The fees represent the new development s proportionate share or contribution toward the cost of the public improvements that will be required to serve that development. In the mid-1990s, the City commissioned and adopted technical reports which assessed public infrastructure needs and provided a basis for the partial funding, by the establishment of the fees, required to install and construct certain portions of the facilities needed due to private development as necessary to implement the City s General Plan. The technical reports identify the public facilities and a schedule of costs for such facilities towards which the fees will be used. The fees were originally established in 1997 and updated via the adoption of additional technical reports and analysis in 1999 and 2002. The fees are based upon the assumption contained within the General Plan and the environmental impact report for the General Plan that new development in Novato will pay its proportionate share of the public facilities that are required to support such new development. The City currently collects fees broken down into the following categories: Streets and Intersections Recreation and Cultural Facilities cc17_161 1
Civic Facilities Transit and Bicycle Improvements Corporation Yard General Government Systems Open Space Drainage Attachments #1 and #2 to this staff report are the annual 2014/15 and 2015/16 reports. These reports identify information about the fees that is required by Government Code Section 66006, including: a description of the fees; the amount of the fees; the beginning and ending balances of each account; the amount of fees collected during the year and interest earned; an identification of projects that expended fees during the two fiscal years, and how much was expended; and an identification of when the project is scheduled to commence construction. Such a report is made available to the public each year and transmitted to the City Council. As the annual reports are prepared in arrears, the balances reported may not match current fund balances and should not be confused with any figures reported in the annual budget. In addition to the above, this staff report and the attached resolution also addresses additional findings that the City Council is required to make every five years under Government Code Section 66001 for fees that have already been collected, but remain unexpended. These findings include the following: 1. The purpose for the fee The purpose for which the fee is to be used is identified in the adopted technical reports that assessed the need for the public infrastructure improvements. More specifically, attachment #3 to this staff report lists the currently identified projects for the amount of fees currently on hand. 2. A reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose The originally adopted technical reports contained a detailed nexus analysis, describing the need for the identified facilities and attributing the portion associated with new development to the various projects. The analysis contained in the technical reports remains valid and is incorporated by reference herein. 3. Identify all sources and amounts of funding needed to construct incomplete improvements The attachment #3 lists these amounts and anticipated funding sources. 4. The approximate date when the projects will be fully funded The attachment #3 lists estimated completion dates for the projects. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the resolution and receive and file the report.
