These fees are intended to provide funding for the City to maintain infrastructure service levels and improvements needed as a result of growth from development projects. The City has been complying with all collection and expenditure requirements. It is recommended the City Council approve the Annual Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2020-21 pursuant to Government Code Section 66006. DISCUSSION The City collects Transportation Impact and Park Facilities Fees, which are fees associated with development projects. Government Code Section 66006 requires the City to prepare an annual report that describes certain information about the fees, such as the amount of fees collected, public improvements for which the fees were expended, fund balance, and other information. This information is attached hereto: Exhibit “A”: The Park Facilities Fee Impact Fund currently has a balance of $7,421,829 after expending nearly $7 million to design and construct the Eisenhower Park project. Additional fund balance will be used in the coming years to continue implementation of the adopted Parks Master Plan, most notably, the Newcastle Park project in the coming year. Exhibit “B”: The Transportation Fee Impact Fund currently has a balance of $1,558,252. Funds are spent regularly from this account for various traffic improvements throughout the City. Annual Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2020-21 December 7, 2021 Page 2 of 2 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS This proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT Funds from these accounts make significant community improvement projects possible. Due to the variability of development activity in the community, the amount of revenue tends to vary substantially in any given year. In Fiscal Year 2020-21, both funds combined for over $1.9 million in new revenue to the City, including the interest that accrued. Without these funds, the City would need to find other sources of revenues to offset the impacts caused by new developments. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council determine that this project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve the Annual Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2020-21 pursuant to Government Code Section 66006.
