Conduct a public hearing. 2. Adopt a resolution to adjust the Consolidated Fire Protection District developer fee from $1.6710 per square foot to $1.7601 per square foot in accordance with the Developer Fee Agreement between the City of Santa Clarita and the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County. BACKGROUND In accordance with the City of Santa Clarita's (City) agreement with Los Angeles County (County) to be part of the Consolidated Fire Protection District (Fire District), the City is required to adopt the attached updated Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan within a reasonable period. The fee is typically updated annually. The last Fire District developer fee increase became effective May 13, 2025. Fire District developer fees finance the construction of new (and replacement) fire stations and related fire protection improvements within the City. The proposed fee increases from $1.6710 per square foot to $1.7601 per square foot is consistent with the fee increase adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on March 24, 2026. The proposed fee adjustment is primarily a result of cumulative fire station development financing costs as well as increased fire apparatus and equipment costs. The Developer Fee rate is adjusted annually to account for inflation. The adjustment is based on the lesser of two percent Page 1 Packet Pg. 38 O or the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) for construction, along with current equipment costs. 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. The increased fee amount will ensure the City's Fire District developer fees are consistent with the fees collected by the County in the unincorporated areas of the Santa Clarita Valley and will satisfy the City's agreement with the County. Staff recommends conducting a public hearing and adopting a resolution to adjust the Consolidated Fire Protection District developer fee, which, if approved, will go into effect August 1, 2026. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the City as a result of this resolution. There are minor administrative costs for collecting and transmitting Fire District developer fees to the County. These costs will not be affected by the fee adjustment.

The DFP was implemented August 1, 1990, to fund the acquisition, construction, improvement, and equipping of fire station facilities in the high -growth, urban -expansion areas of the District. The purpose of this program, as adopted by the Board, is to ensure these additional resources are made available to protect the lives of residents and maintain efficient fire protection and life -safety services in the Areas of Benefit where population is increasing based on urban expansion. The Developer Fee rate is adjusted annually to account for inflation. The adjustment is based on the lesser of two percent or the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) for construction, along with current equipment costs. Pursuant to Government Codes 66001 and 66002, the resolution instructs the District to conduct annual evaluations of the DFP and make appropriate recommendations to your Honorable Board. Also, on September 4, 2007, your Honorable Board adopted a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the County of Los Angeles and the City of Calabasas wherein the parties agreed to exercise the power to levy the DFP in the City of Calabasas and the City Council authorized your Honorable Board to conduct all proceedings in connection with the levy of the fee, and any modifications of the fee amount, within the city boundaries. Implementation of Strategic Plan Goals Approval of the recommended actions is consistent with the County's Strategic Plan: Focus Area Goal North Star 3, Strategies is Customer Service: Support departmental efforts to improve customer service and to enhance efficiency and responsiveness to meet the needs of all residents. FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING The District is funded independently from the County's General Fund and relies primarily on property tax revenue to provide essential fire protection and emergency medical services. The DFP provides an additional revenue source to fund essential fire station facilities and equipment in the areas of urban growth. Increasing the fee rates in the unincorporated areas of the three Areas of Benefit and the City of Calabasas will enable the District to fund the development of new fire stations proportionate to the need necessitated by growth. The DFP generates approximately $4.1 million in revenue annually and subject to change based on variability in the construction of homes and land acquisition in the Areas of Benefit. These funds are deposited into the District's Developer Fee Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund and can only be used to fund the development of new fire stations within specific geographic areas. There is no impact to net County cost.
