Exhibit A
City of Santa Clarita
Five -Year Financial Summary
Statement of Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee Program
Planned Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance
In Accordance with the City of Santa Clarita's Agreement with Los Angeles County to be part of the Consolidated Fire
Protection District (Fire District), the City was required to adopt the Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan. Fire
District developer fees finance the construction of new/replacement fire stations and related fire protection
improvements within the City. The fee is typically updated annually. The Fire District developer fee is charged on new
residential buildings, new detached residential accessory structures, new commercial buildings, and residential or
commercial additions over 2,000 square feet. The fee is collected at the time of building permit issuance. There is a
reasonable relationship between the fee and its purpose because the fee is calculated to reflect the proportionate
impact the development will have on fire safety facilities and service measured by the square footage of the
development.
The Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee has a balance of $349,614. Pursuant to the Developer Fee Agreement (Agreement)
No. 66785, citing the approval of the Board of Supervisors for the development of seven (7) fire stations to become
operational in the Santa Clarita Valley, the City entered into a mutual agreement to reimburse the Fire District the
proportional costs for developing new fire stations and purchasing apparatus with the intent to provide jurisdictional
coverage within the City's boundary. As a condition of the agreed terms, the City is expected to reimburse the Fire
District one hundred percent (100%) of the total development costs of Fire Station 104 to include and not limited to
the apparatus purchase price, outfitting and communication costs, and all applicable firefighting and EMS equipment.
The City is permitted to retain a 5% admin fee for its collecting and transmitting of funds to LA County.
The fee is calculated in proportion to the developer's impact of $1.5499 per square foot beginning July 1, 2023 as
approved by City Council on April 11, 2023. It is consistent with the fees adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors on January 31, 2023. Fees collected will be used to reimburse the Fire District for Fire Station 104 and
future fire facilities when identified.
The estimated timing of reimbursement and cost of the project are shown below. The balance of the project cost will
be fully funded with the Fire Facilities Mitigation Fee revenue.

City of Santa Clarita
Five -Year Financial Summary
Statement of Law Enforcement Facilities Fee Program
Planned Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance
The purpose of the Law Enforcement Facilities Fee is to ensure new development pays its fair share for the capital
costs associated with expanding and/or building law enforcement facilities to accommodate the growth in service
population. There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and its purpose because the fee is calculated to reflect
the proportionate impact the development will have on law enforcement facilities and service measured by the
square footage of the development.
The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee has a balance of $40,542 and is intended to be utilized to fulfill law enforcement
public facility needs.
As per the City's Schedule of Fees and Charges, Resolution 23-32, the amount of the fees established shall be
reviewed annually by the City Council, in consultation with the Sheriff. Each year, the law enforcement facilities fee
shall be adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as determined by the City Council.
Construction of the new Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station cost $68,956,380. The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee
has contributed 8% to the project. The remaining balance of the project costs was funded with other revenue sources
