This fee system has been in placesince1992, when City and County joint actions established a cooperative system pertaining to the joint collection of fees for fire protection facilities. Adjustments (both increases and decreases) have occurred annually since then based on the County's annual analysis of the need for fire facilities. The history of these adjustments is detailed in Section 1 of the attached resolution. To match the County fee, the original City ordinance establishing a cooperative system pertaining to the joint collection of fees for fire facilities (Ordinance No. 92-15) does not require an amendment. However, the existing Resolution No. 92-152 should be amended to reflect the higher fee amount. RECOMMENDATION Conduct public hearing, take public testimony, and adopt Resolution No. 96-134.

The Plan Identifies 21 additional fire stations, 1 temporary facility, 1 communications facility, and the necessary capital equipment that will be required from 1996-97 through 2000-01 in the areas of benefit, the funding requirements and time frames provided that development occurs as anticipated. The Plan identifies any funding the District has advanced from sources other than developer fees; these advances will be repaid when sufficient developer fee revenue Is generated. The Plan, the Developer Fee Program, and the development economic environment will be reviewed annually for modifications and updates. DEVELOPER FEE DETAILED FIRE STATION PLAN TERMS USED IN PLAN EXPLANATION TIMING The fiscal year that the land purchase or construction of the fire station is anticipated to begin. The availability of the facility (i.e. when it will be operational) would be approximately one to two years from the actual start of construction. FIRE STATION/LOCATION In most cases a site has not yet been purchased; the locations are therefore approximate. ANTICIPATED CAPITAL Based upon current land (one -acre site), construction and equipment costs. Where appropriate; credit was given for the sale of an existing site, donation of a site by the developer, etc. Where developers have already made contributions to help offset the effect of their developments on the District, an appropriate, pre -designated credit will be given towards the developer fee. Apparatus includes the full cost of one engine and prorated costs of a truck, unless otherwise noted. No District overhead costs nor an inflation factor have been applied; all figures are based on 1995-96 dollars. AMOUNT BUDGETED Advances made by the District; to be repaid when developer fee revenues are sufficient, are indicated. If no amount is budgeted, the Timing of the station may be delayed until developer fee revenues are sufficient to fund the site acquisition and/or construction of the station.
