AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by: Carmen Magana
DATE: July 8, 2014
SUBJECT: REIMBURSEMENT TO THE CONSOLIDATED FIRE
PROTECTION DISTRICT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF FIRE STATION 150
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1) Approve reimbursement in the amount of $1,311,108.65 to the Consolidated Fire Protection
District of Los Angeles County for the construction of Fire Station 150.
2) Amend the Fiscal Year 2013-14 budget by appropriating $1,311,108.65 to expenditure
account 16201-5161.001 (Fire District Fees).
BACKGROUND
The City received a request for reimbursement from the County of Los Angeles Fire Department
for costs related to the construction of Fire Station 150. This request is based on the agreement
between the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County (Fire District) and the
City of Santa Clarita for the Adoption and Administration of the Developer Fee by the City of
Santa Clarita for the Benefit of the Consolidated Fire Protection District (Developer Fee
Agreement).
Fire Station 150, located at 19190 Golden Valley Road, was opened in the City of Santa Clarita
in February of last year. The Developer Fee Agreement between the City and the Fire District
provides that the City reimburse the Fire District a proportionate share of the total costs
associated with land acquisition, construction of fire stations and related fire protection
improvements, and apparatus identified in the Fire Station Plan.
Reimbursement is limited to developer fee revenues collected within the City and the
jurisdictional shares agreed upon per the Jurisdictional Coverage Agreement. In accordance with
the Jurisdictional Coverage Agreement, the City is contractually obligated to reimburse the Fire
District 68% of the cost to develop Fire Station 150, or $7,326,418 as illustrated below.
The City's Fire District Developer Fee Revenue fund balance is insufficient to fully fund the
City's share of cost reimbursement to the Fire District; therefore, a reduced reimbursement of
$1,311,108.65 is recommended. Outstanding amounts owed to the Fire District will accrue and
be paid to the Fire District as developer fee revenues are collected within the City.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City recently received a request for reimbursement from the County of Los Angeles Fire
Department for costs related to the construction of Fire Station 150. In accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the work was performed during prior fiscal years;
therefore, the related budget and expenditures will need to be recorded during Fiscal Year
2013-14. The fund balance in the Developer Fee Revenue Fund is available to fund the
reimbursement to the Fire District in the amount of $1,311,108.65. Upon Council approval, the
Fiscal Year 2013-14 budget will be amended accordingly.
