FILE NUMBER
Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a consulting services agreement with
David Taussig and Associates for a two -year term beginning April 18, 2017, and ending April 17, 2019, to
prepare a Development Impact Fee Study, for a total amount not to exceed $55,000, subject to
nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The City imposes impact fees on land development projects to mitigate general impacts to city
infrastructure, such as parks, library, transportation, sewer, and storm drainage systems. The primary
objective of a development impact fee program is to ensure that new development pays the capital costs
associated with growth. Impact fees must comply with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act (Act)
contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq.
The City periodically analyzes and updates the development impact fee rates to ensure compliance with
the Act and ensure future developers pay their fair share to mitigate impacts. The study will include rates
for existing fees, possible fee adjustments, as well as consideration of new fees that may become
necessary with continued development within the City.
Staff published a Request for Proposals on July 14, 2016 and received two proposals from firms
specializing in local government financial analysis. A selection committee comprised of staff from the
Public Works Agency, the Planning and Building Agency, and the Parks, Recreation and Community
Services Agency reviewed both proposals and rated each firm based on a number of criteria:
demonstrated knowledge and capabilities, experience, proposed approach, project rates and fees. Both of
the firms were interviewed by the selection committee with the results as follows:

Based on rating and cost, it is recommended that David Taussig and Associates be retained for an
amount not to exceed $55,000 to develop the Development Impact Fee Study. The contract includes an
amount of $44,975 for the defined scope of services, and a contingency budget of $10,025 for any
additional services or analysis which may be necessary during the course of the fee study.

• A memorandum summarizing the fee methodology options

personal attention from senior staff, with a Managing Director or other senior management always
available to meet with public agency staff and other groups.
TASK 1 — EVALUATE CURRENT DIF PROGRAM
DTA will review and evaluate the City's current DIF program, including review of General Plan, level of
service, Capital Improvement Programs, existing levels of development, projected future growth, and
all other required data, for discussion during the Kickoff Meeting in Task 2.
TASK 2— ATTEND KICK -OFF MEETING
DTA staff will meet with City staff in an initial kick -off meeting to finalize the details of the Work Plan;
discuss the current DIF program, potential fee methodologies, and best practices; identify needed and
available information (i,e., reports, project /needs lists, stakeholder groups, data, etc.); determine period
of time to be examined in Fee Study; prepare final schedule; discuss the public process; and resolve
other concerns as appropriate.
TASK 3 — REVIEW AND CONFIRM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTIONS

DTA will review Southern California Association of Governments Regional Transportation system
growth projections, as well as other sources, such as the City General Plan, existing Master Plans, the
City's Transportation System Improvement Area DIF, the U. S, Census, and the State Department of
Finance. DTA will consult with the City Community Development Department to ensure growth is
consistent with the City General Plan and projections. Also, DTA will survey and compile results to
determine development impact fees charged by ten similar cities within the region, with at least four
from Orange County,
TASK 4 - REVIEW FACILITY if CAPITAL NEEDS AND LEVELS OF SERVICE
This task entails review of the facility and capital needs required to serve the new development in the
study area projected in Task 3. DTA will use existing City materials (and any relevant developers'
facilities reports) as base documents and focus our effort on updating this information.
In order for any fee program to be comprehensive in its scope, it is necessary to complete a thorough
identification and review of all the facilities which will be impacted by additional growth, including those
already discussed in the General Plan or CIP. This task will require close coordination with all
appropriate City departments.
Subtask 4(A) — Survey /Interview City Staff
DTA shall survey /interview City staff to review projected facilities in the City, along with major
equipment needs, the timing at which improvements will be needed, and any physical data that
would assist in developing the costs estimated below in Subtask 4(C). Based upon the results
of the surveys and interviews, as well as the City General Plan, DTA will verify and, if
appropriate, expand the list of new facilities to be financed through the DIF Program.

to the list of projected public facilities to determine future costs; review and /or refine existing
cost data; examine major sources of revenue to fund construction of new public facilities; and
provide a proportional estimate between projected costs for new facilities and projected revenue
from mitigation fees and other sources,
Deliverable: Needs List
TASK 5 - DEVELOP METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING NEW FEE AMOUNTS
This task entails developing the methodology used to establish the fee amount to the extent appropriate.
There are two critical issues that must be considered in developing a fee program. The fee program
must generate revenues in a timely manner and the methodology must meet the nexus or benefit
requirements of AS 1600. Since fees of any sort are controversial, it is critical that any fee established
be legally defensible.
DTA's fee study methodology must meet the nexus or benefit requirements of AB-1 600, which requires
that there be a nexus between fees imposed, the use of the fees, and the development projects on
which the fees are imposed. Furthermore, there must be a relationship between the amount of the fee
and the cost of the improvements. In order to impose a fee as a condition for a development project,
the methodology must accomplish the following:
• Identify the purpose of the fee.
• Identify the use to which the fee is to be put. If the use is financing public facilities, the
facilities must be identified.
• Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of
development project on which the fee is imposed.
• Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need forthe public facility
and the type of development project on which the fee is being imposed.
Implicit in these requirements is a stipulation that a public agency cannot impose a fee to cure existing
deficiencies in public facilities or improve public facilities beyond what is required based on the specific
impacts of new development. The benefit methodology established in this Subtask will be documented
in the Report.
DTA shall prepare a memorandum to City staff summarizing the recommended methodologies and their
pros and cons. DTA will recommend a fee expenditure plan to ensure that projects can be fully funded
and implemented within any required time limits for expenditures of such funds, as well as possible
flexibility to allow collected fees to be used to provide the City match for grant applications. Finally, the
memo will include recommendations for methodology and next steps. Upon review and discussion by
City staff, a methodology will be selected.
Deliverable: Memorandum summarizing the DIF methodology options
TASK 6 - DETERMINE FEE LEVELS
This task entails calculating the fee amounts based upon the dwelling unit and commercial/industrial
development projections completed in Task 3, facilities needs and costs determined in Task 4, and the
methodology selected in Task 5.
