These fees are intended to provide funding for the City to maintain infrastructure service levels and make necessary improvements due to growth from development. The City is required to report certain information to the City Council and public annually pursuant to Government Code Section 66006. The attached documents satisfy the requirements of the Code. 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 2023-24 pursuant to Government Code Section 66006. DISCUSSION The City collects Impact Fees for Transportation, Park Facilities, and Fire Facilities purposes, 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 $9,740,282. Additional fund balance will be used in the coming years to continue implementation of the adopted Parks Master Plan: most notably, the completion of the renovations at Newcastle Park and new concession and bleachers at Bonita Park. Annual Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2023-24 December 3, 2024 Page 2 of 2 Exhibit “B”: The Transportation Fee Impact Fund currently has a balance of $789,106. Funds are spent regularly from this account for various traffic improvements throughout the City. Staff is currently working on a Citywide traffic center and signal fiber optics upgrades, a portion of which will be funded by these funds. Exhibit “C”: The Fire Facilities Impact Fund currently has a balance of $310,486. Funds are spent from this account for capital projects to improve the service capacity of the Fire Department. Amongst the projects funded by the impact fee is a remodel of Fire Station 105 to increase the service capacity of the station. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action of approving a report does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. 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 fluctuate substantially in any given year. In Fiscal Year 2023-24, all three funds combined added over $3.5 million in new revenue, including interest earned. Without these funds, the City would need to find other sources of revenue to offset the impacts caused by new development. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve the Annual Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2023-24 pursuant to Government Code Section 66006.
