DESCRIPTION: From 1988 to 1997, the City of Dublin was provided fire service by the
Dougherty Regional Fire Authority. During that period, DRFA collected fire facility fees to pay for the
costs of new equipment and facilities to serve new development. In 1999, DRFA ceased providing fire
services to the cities of Dublin and San Ramon, and the City of Dublin entered into a contractual
relationship with the Alameda County Fire District (ACFD) to provide fire and emergency response
systems throughout the community and adopted its own Fire Facility Fee. As the responsible party for the
provision of fire service, the City of Dublin must maintain the existing fire stations and equipment, as well
as plan for new stations and equipment.
The. City of Dublin cun'ently maintains two (2) fire stations: the downtown station at Donahue which
· houses two companies (one engine and one truck) and a temporary Santa Rita Fire Station, which is
housed at the Santa Rita Jail facility. ACFD is contractually obligated to maintain a five-minute response
time to the existing developed areas throughout Dublin, and there are no current deficiencies in either fire
facilities or apparatus required to serve the existing population of Dublin.
It is anticipated that there will, be significant residential and non-residential growth in Dublin through the
build-out of the community. The most extensive development wilt occur in the Eastern Extended
Planning Area in accordance with the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and the Eastern Dublin
Specific Plan. Staff anticipates that there will be moderate growth in western Dublin and infill growth in
central Dublin. Due to the level and intensity of growth, additional fire facilities and equipment will be
required to serve the new growth while maintaining the service levels currently provided to both Dublin
businesses and residents. Given the fact that new facilities and equipment are necessitated' by new
development, it is appropriate to impose a fire facilities fee on new development to fairly allocate the
costs of the new facilities and equipment.
The underlying legal authority to impose and charge fire facilities fee can be found in both the Califomia
Government Code Section 66001 et seq. (AB 1600) and the Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 7.78. AB
1600 governs the way public agencies can impose and administer development impact fees (such as fire
facility fees), and Chapter 7.78 of the Dublin Municipal Code establishes the authority to impose and
charge a fee to pay for municipally-owned facilities within the city limits.
To that end, the Dublin City Council established a fire facility fee for future development in the City of
Dublin (Resolution 37-97). The study anticipated the need for two new fire stations and related apparatus
to serve the new development in Dublin through the year 2025. The 1997 fees were as follows:
Residential:
Single-Family $512/unit
Multi-Family $320/unit
Non-Residential:
Commercial
Office
Industrial
$.076/square foot
$.148/square foot
$.065/square foot
Upon adoption of the fee, staff was directed to periodically update the Fire Facilities Fee. The City
retained the finn of MuniFinancial this year to update the documentation for the City's fire impact fee
since the fee's initial adoption. The study included an analysis of the need for new fire facilities (as
identified in the Fire Location Study and the Alameda County Fire Station Prototype Study) to serve new
development and the costs of financing these improvements through the build-out of the community. The
study also updated the demographic changes in the community.. The study also identified the relationship
between the new development, the needed facilities, and those costs.
A summary of the report is as follows:
The costs of construction and acquisition of capital facilities has changed due to inflation. The cost
increases included:
Land Costs: The 1997 study assumed land values to be approximately $ 9.18 per square foot. The
new study reflects land values of $15 and $20 per square foot, respectively, for Stations 17 and 18.
Cost of Construction: The 1997 study assumed construction costs for buildings of approximately
7,000 square feet, whereas the new study assumes buildings of approximately 11,601 and 8,181 square
feet, respectively (as outlined in the Fire Station Prototype study).
Demographic Changes: The 1997 study assumed service population for both residential and
business populations at 2025 build-out to be 65,993. The new study assumes that same service population
to be 68,200. This represents a 3.35 % increase.
The MuniFinancial Study assumes that the City of Dublin will need to construct two (2)'new fire stations
and purchase related fire apparatus to keep pace with the new development in Dublin through the year
2025. The estimated cost of these capital needs that can be assigned to new development is $ 5,962,552.
The report allocates these new costs to new development by a formula that assigns the total cost of the
necessary facilities (including any financing costs) to the total service population (residential and
business) at build-out. The fee is provided on a per capita basis and converted to a per unit fee for
residential development and a per square foot fee for non-residential development. The proposed new
fees are as follows:
Residential
Single-Family
Multi-Family
$646/unit
$404/unit
Non-Residential
Commercial
Office
Industrial
$.095/square foot
$. 185/square foot
$.081/square foot
The proposed fees represent an approximate 26% increase over the existing fire facility fees. This fee has
not been increased since its adoption in 1997.
Section 12 of the draft resolution additionally provides for automatic adjustment of the fee Commencing in
July 2001 and continuing each July thereafter. To assure that sufficient revenues are collected during the
fee program to construct the necessary facilities, it is important that the fee be adjusted annually for
inflation. Once the facilities are all acquired and constructed, no further adjustment is necessary. The
proposed resolution provides for adjustment of the fee in three components. For the costs attributable to
construction, the fee will be adjusted based on the Engineering News Record's Construction Cost Index
(20-city average). For the costs attributable to land acquisition, the fee will be adjusted based on the
comparison between two appraisals of the type of land needed for the facilities and that percentage used to
adjust the land acquisition portion of the fee until the land is acquired. For the costs attributable to
acquisition of vehicles and equipment, the fee will be adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index for all
urban consumers for the San Francisco / Oakland Bay Area. 81 percent of the annual adjustment of the
fee will be based on changes in the Construction Cost Index. 8 percent of the adjustment will be based on
the changes in the cost of land acquisition. 11 percent of the adjustment of the fee will be based on the
changes in the Consumer Price Index.
Due to the fact that the City's fire service is an interdependent system and all stations have the
responsibility of responding to incidents citywide, the fire facilities fee will apply to all new development
in the City of Dublin. New development is defined in the proposed resolution as "the construction of, and
addition to, any building or structure within the City of Dublin." There are certain types of new
development that are exempt from the fee, including:
Any alteration or addition to a residential structure unless a new unit is added;
Any replacement or reconstruction of any existing residential structure that has been
destroyed or demolished;
Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing non-residential structure that has been
destroyed or demolished provided that the square footage of the replacement building does
not exceed the square footage of the building that was destroyed or demolished; or
Any addition to an existing non-residential structure of 500 square feet or less.
The fee will go into effect 60 days from the adoption of the resolution approving the new fee schedule.
CONCLUSION
New development throughout the City of Dublin will generate a need for the new fire facilities that are
subject to the fee study authored by MuniFinancial. It is necessary for the City to revise the Fire Facility
Fee to provide those facilities to meet the needs generated by the new development citywide.'
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolution revising the
Fire Facilities Fee.

FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the City Councii finds as follows:
A. The purpose of the Fire Facilities Fee (hereafter "Fee") is to finance municipal public
facilities to reduce the impacts caused by future developments in the City of Dublin. Such facilities,
which are specifically described in the MuniFinancial Study, include the following: land acquisition and
construction of two new fire stations, rolling stock and equipment for two new stations, other associated
vehicles and equipment, administrative space, and improvements to existing facilities. The public
facilities described in the study are hereinafter referred to as the "Facilities."
B. The Fee collected pursuant to this resolution shall be used to finance the Facilities.
C. After considering the MuniFinancial Study, the testimony received at this noticed public
hearing, the Agenda statements, the General Plan, the SP, the Station Location Study, the Station
Prototype Study, the Building Code, the E Dublin EIR and Addenda, the Schaefer EIR, .and all
correspondence received (hereafter "Record"), the Council approves and adopts said MuniFinancial Study
and incorporates such herein; the Council further finds that the future development in the City of Dublin
will generate the need for the Facilities, and that the Facilities are consistent with the City's General Plan,
the Station Location Study, and the Eastem Dublin Specific Plan.
D. The adoption of the Fee as i~ relates to development within Eastem Dublin is within the
scope of the E Dublin EIR and Addenda. The Facilities were identified in the EIR as necessary to
accommodate development in Eastem Dublin. The impacts of such development, including the Facilities,
were adequately analyzed at a Program level in the E Dublin EIR. SinCe the certification of the E Dublin
EIR there have been no substantial changes in the projections of future development as identified in the E
Dublin EIR, no substantial changes in the surrounding circumstances, and no other new information of
substantial importance so as to require important revisions in-the E Dublin EIR's analysis of impacts,
mitigation measures, and alternatives. Subsequent project-specific environmental review under CEQA of
the Facilities will be required before any such Facilities are approved. It is not feasible to provide project
specific environmental review of the Facilities at this stage, as they will be implemented over a 30-year
period and specific details as to their timing, construction, and precise location are not presently known.
E. The adoption of the Fee as it relates to development within the area covered by the
Schaefer Project ("Schaefer Ranch Annexation Area") is within the scope of the Schaefer EIR. The
Facilities were all identified in the Schaefer EIR as necessary to accommodate development in Dublin.
The impacts of such development, including the Facilities, were adequately analyzed at a Project level in
the Schaefer EIR. Since the certification of the Schaefer EIR there have been no substantial changes in
the projections of future development as identified in the Schaefer EIR, no substantial changes in the
surrounding circumstances, and no othef new information of substantial importance so as to require
important revisions in the Schaefer EIR's analysis of impacts, mitigation measures, and alternatives.
Subsequent project-specific environmental review under CEQA of the Facilities will be required before
any such Facilities are approved. It is not feasible to provide project specific environmental review of the
Facilities at this stage, as they will be implemented over a 30-year period and specific details as to their
timing, construction and precise location are not presently known.
F. The adoption of the Fee as it relates to development within the City of Dublin (excluding
Eastern Dublin and the Schaefer Annexation Area) is to obtain funds for capital projects necessary to
maintain service within the existing service areas; that the City currently provides fire protection and
suppression services through a contractual relationship with the Alameda County Fire Department, which
operates from three fire stations, two of which are located within the City limits (including the temporary
Santa Rita station); that the Fee will be used to maintain current service levels; and that no existing
deficiencies have been found to exist. As such, the Fee as it relates to development within the City
(excluding Eastern Dublin and the Schaefer Ranch Annexation Area) is not a "project" within the
meaning of CEQA (Public Resources Code § 2i 080(b)(8)(D)).
G. In adopting the Fee, the Council is exercising its powers under Article XI, § 7 of the
California Constitution, Chapter 7.78 of the Dublin Municipal Code, and Chapter 5 of Division 1 of the
Government Code, commencing with section 66000 (and section 66018, in particular) collectively and
separately.
H. The Record establishes: /7 ( ~'
1. That there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the Facilities and the
impacts of the types of development for which the corresponding fee is charged in that new
development in the City of Dublin (hereafter to include Eastern Dublin and the Schaefer Ranch
Annexation Area)--both residential and non-residential--will generate persons who live, work,
and/or shop in Dublin and who generate or contribute to the need for the Facilities; and
2. That there is a reasonable relationship between the Fee's use (to pay for the
construction of the Facilities) and the type of development for which the Fee is charged in that all
development in the City of Dublin--both residential and non~residential--generates or
con.tributes to the need for the Facilities; and
3. .That there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the Fee and the cost
of the Facilities or portion thereof attributable to development in the City of Dublin in that the Fee
is calculated based on the number of residents or employees generated by specific types of land
uses, the total amotmt it will cost to construct the Facilities, and the percentage by which
development within the City of Dublin contributes to the need for the Facilities; and
4. That the cost estimates set forth in the MuniFinancial Study are reasonable cost
estimates for constructing the Facilities, and the Fees expected to be generated by future
development will not exceed the projected costs of constructing the Facilities; and
5. The method of allocation of the Fee to a particular development bears a fair and
reasonable relationship to each development's burden on, and benefit from, the Facilities to be
funded by the Fee, in that the Fee is calculated based on the number of residents or employees
each particular development will generate.
I. The Study is a detailed analysis of how public services will .be affected by development in
the City of Dublin, and the public facilities required to accommodate that development.

City determines that the Fee will 'be collected for Facilities for which an account has been
established and funds appropriated and for which the City has adopted a proposed construction
schedule prior to issuance of the building permit for such residential development, then the Fee
shall be charged and paid upon issuance of the building permit for such residential development.
b. A Fee shall be charged and paid for each non-residential development, including
commercial, industrial, and office developments, upon issuance of the building permit for such

(1) Any alteration or addition to a residential structure, except to the extent that
a residential unit is added to a single family residential unit or another unit is added to an
existing multiple-family residential unit;
(2) Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing residential structure that
has been destroyed or demolished, if the building permit for reconstruction is obtained
within one year after the building was destroyed or demolished. This subsection shall not
apply if the replacement or reconstruction increases the square footage of the structure by
50 percent or more.
(3) Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing non-residential structure
that has been destroyed or demolished, if the building permit for reconstruction is obtained
within one year after the building was destroyed or demolished, there is no change in the
land use designation of the property, and the square footage of the replacement building
does not exceed the square footage of the building that was destroyed or demolished.
(4) Any non-residential building or structure constructed on property on which
a building or structure was demolished for which a development impact fee to fund fire
facilities has been paid to the City within the prior ten year period. The exemption
provided in this subsection shall be in the amount of the previously-paid fee only, and the
applicant shall pay any additional amount based on the then-current Fee.
(5)
less.
Any addition to an existing non-residential structure of 500 square feet or .
b. The City Council, in its discretion, may waive the applicability of the Fee to certain
development constructed or to be constructed by a public entity on land having an appropriate
General Plan land use designation upon findings of the City Council that such a waiver is in the
interest of the public health, safety, and/or welfare, for reasons specified in the findings. Such
reasons may include, but are not limited to, that the Fee, as it would apply to such development by
a public entity, will be sufficiently recovered in whole or in part from residential development the
residents of which may constitute the primary users of the public entity development.
7. Use of Fee Revenues.
a. The revenues raised by payment of the Fee shall be placed in the Capital Project
Fund. Separate and special accounts within the Capital Project Fund shall be used to account for
such revenues, along with any interest eamings on each account. The revenues (and interest) shall
be used for the following purposes:
(1) T6 pay for design, engineering, right-of-way or land acquisition and
construction and/or acquisition of the Facilities and reasonable costs of outside consultant
studies related thereto;
(2) To reimburse the City for the Facilities constructed by the City with funds
from other sources including funds from other public entities, unless the City funds were
obtained from grants or gifts intended by the grantor to be used for the Facilities.
(3) To reimburse developers who have designed and constructed Facilities
which are oversized with supplemental size, length, or capacity; and
(4) To pay for and/or reimburse costs of program development and ongoing
administration of the Fee program.
b. Fees in these accounts shall be expended only for the Facilities and only for the
purpose for which the Fee was collected.
8. Standards.'
The standards upon which the needs for the Facilities are based. are the standards of the City of
Dublin, including the standards contained in the General Plan, the Station Location Study, Station
Prototype Study, the SP, E Dublin EIR and Addenda and the Schaefer EIR.
9. Existing Deficiencies.
There are no existing deficiencies.
10. Periodic Review.
a. During each fiscal year, the City Manager shall prepare a report for the City,
Council, pursuant to Government Code section 66006, identifying the balance of Fees in each
account.
b. Pursuant to Government Code section 66002, the City Council shall also review, as
part of any adopted Capital Improvement Program each year, the approximate location, size, time
of availability and estimates of cost for all Facilities to be financed with the Fee. The estimated
costs shall be adjusted in accordance with appropriate indices of inflation. The City Council shall
make findings identifying the purpose to which the existing Fee balances are to be put and
demonstrating a reasonable relationship between the Fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
11. Subsequent Analysis of the Fee.
The Fee established herein is adopted and implemented by the Council in reliance on the Record
identified above. The City will continue to conduct further study and analysis to determine whether the
Fee should be revised. When additional information is available, the City Council shall review the Fee to
determine that the amounts are reasonably related to the impacts of development within the City of Dublin
and within areas included in the City's General Plan. The City Council may revise the Fee to incorporate
the fmdings and conclusions of further studies and any standards in the SP and General Plan, as well as
increases due to inflation and increased construction costs.
12. Fee Adjustments.
The purpose of this Section 12 is to provide for annual adjustments of the Fee for inflation,
beginning July 1, 2001 and each July thereafter..
The Fee shall be adjusted based on the change in construction costs, land acquisition costs, and
equipment costs using the percentage increase/decrease in the three indicators describe in subsections (a),
(b), and (c) below. Those adjustments shall be applied to the Fee rate based on the relative allocation.
among the cost estimate for construction of improvements, acquisition of land, and purchase of equipment
included in the MuniFinancial Study. Based on the information contained in Table 2 of the
MuniFinancial Study, 81% of the cost estimate is attributable to construction, 8% to land acquisition, and
11% to acquisition of apparatus. Accordingly, the construction cost indicator shall be weighted 81%, the
land cost indicator 8%, and the facilities acquisition indicator 11%.
a. Construction Cost. Annually each July, the City Manager shall adjust the cost of
construction of the Facilities, as shown in Table 2 in the MuniFinancial Study,
increasing/decreasing such construction cost by the annual percentage increase/decrease reached
by comparing the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (20-city average) for the
prior March or April over the same Construction Cost Index for the same month for the prior year.
The City Manager may round the adjusted Facilities construction cost to whole dollars.
b. Land Acquisition Cost. Annually each July, the City Manager shall adjust the cost
of acquiring real property interests for the Facilities, as shown on Table 2 in the MuniFinancial
Study, by calculating the percentage change in land cost per acre within the City, based on a
comparison of the most recent appraisal (prepared for the City for the purpose of adjusting the
Fee) and the immediately preceding appraisal (prepared for the City for the purpose of adjusting
the Fee and using the same methodology). The City Manager may round the adjusted Facilities
land acquisition cost to whole dollars.
c. Facilities Acquisition Cost. Annually each July, the City Manager shall adjust the
cost of acquiring (through purchase or otherwise) the vehicles, equipment, and furnishings, as
shown on Table 2 in the MuniFinancial Study, by applying the then current Consumer Price Index
for all urban consumers for the San Francisco/Oakland bay area for the months of March or April.
The City Manager may round the adjusted Facilities acquisition cost to whole dollars.
d. Total Annual Fee Adjustment.. Annually each July, the City Manager shall adjust
the Fee by applying the total annual Fee adjustment for that year to the prior year's Fee. The total
annual Fee adjustment shall be reached by apportioning the adjustment in construction cost, land
acquisition cost and facilities acquisition cost calculated according to this Section 12 according to
the percentage each cost comprises of the whole Fee.
13. Administrative Guidelines.
The Council may, by resolution, adopt administrative guidelines to provide procedures for
calculation, credit, reimbursement, or deferred payment and other administrative aspects of the Fee. Such
guidelines may include procedures for construction of designated Facilities b.y developers.
14. Effective Date.
This resolution shall become effective immediately. The Fee provided in Section 2 of this
resolution shall be effective 60 days from the effective date of the resolution.
15. Severability.
Each component of the Fee and all portions of this resolution are severable. Should any individual
component of the Fee or other provision of this resolution be adjudged to be invalid and unenforceable,
the remaining component or provisions shall be and continue to be fully effective, and the Fee shall be
fully effective except as to that component that has been judged to be invalid.

FIRE FACILITIES IMPACT FEE
FIRE FACILITIES IMPACT FEE
This report summarizes art analysis of funding for new fire facilities by the
City of Dublin (the "City") to accommodate new development. The report
documents a reasonable relationship between new development and an
impact fee for funding these new facilities.
The City of Dublin contracts with the Alameda County Fire Department for
fire services. The City is responsible for providing all necessary capital
facilities. The City currently imposes an impact fee of $512 per single family
dwelling unit, $312 per multi- family dwelling unit, $.148 per square foot for
office, $.076 per square foot for commercial and '$.065 per square foot for
industrial. This report updates the fee based on current facility standards,
costs, and projections of new development. The report documents funding
of new facilities with a combination of general fund loans and debt financing.
The inventory of existing and planned fire facilities provides a basis for
calculating the City's facility standard. This standard is used to determine new
development's fair share obligation to expand facilities as growth occurs. The
facilities described here serve the City of Dublin.
The Alameda County Fire Department currently serves the City of Dublin
population from two fire stations (Stations 15 and 16). The City leases Station
15 from Alameda County as part of a joint-use county facility. The City owns
station 16 and assochted equipment. Both stations are staffed entirely by
Alameda County Fire Department personnel. Detailed data on the
Department's vehicles are shown in Table 1. Vehicles cost estimates include
the fire fighting and emergency medical equipment needed to stock each
vehicle. Table 2 summarizes the Department's inventory of land, building
square feet, vehicles, and equipment as it currently exists and partially funded
as well as new facilities to be constructed or purchased. $1.5 million of
vehicles and equipment and approximately $800,000 of land and building
design expenditures will have been incurred as of July 1, 2001, the beginning
of fiscal year 2001/02.

~ Land value for Station #16 of $20 per square foot was approximated by City of Dublin staff.
2 Building replacement cost based on the cost per square foot for a new do?b!e engine company for Station 16, a
new doub!e engine company with medical transport for Station 17, and a new s!nC!e engine company for Station
18, all concrete block construction, as provided in the Alameda County Fire Station Prototype Study. Building
replacement cost for Station 17 was provided by City of Dublin staff, which approximates the cost per Alameda
County Fire Station Prototype Study.
3 Represents additional equipment not included in building cost (radio, office equipment, telephone, etc). Value
based on current replacement value as estimated bv District staff.
4 Per telephone conversation with Chris Foss, Economic Development Director, the City will have spent approx.
$800,000 on land acquisition and building design by 6/30/2001, existing development's portion. The remaining
portion is to be funded by new development.
s Land value for Station #18 of $15 per square foot was approximated by considering two land appraisals (from
ARANS report provided by City staff) of adjacent comparable properties with valuations o~ $7.50 per sqff and $16
Per sqft. Smaller lots (such as Station #17) tend toward hiqher purchase prices.

CITY oF
FIRE FACILITIES IMPACT FEE
The City plans to use monies from:the new development impact fee to
purchase land and construct two new stations, purchase new apparatus and
equipment, new engines and a patrol vehicle. All proceeds from future impact
fee collections will be spent with the purpose of preventing a decline in
current service standards as well as improvements necessary to address
requirements brought on by new development.
Fire Facilities Service Population
The City serves both homes and businesses in its service area. Need for the
City's services and associated facilities is measured by its service population,
or the number of residents and workers within its service area. Service
population reasonably represents the need for fire facilities because people
requesting medical assistance generate most calls for service, rather than
structure fires requiring suppression. Hence, the demand for fire service is
strongly correlated with the distribution of residents and workers within the
service area.
Table 3 shows the estimated service population for 2002 and 2025. In
calculating the service population, residents are given a weight of 1.0 and
workers are weighted at 0.24 to .reflect lower per capita senrice usage. The .24
weighting for workers is based on the amount of time workers spend in the
City compared to residents. Nonresidential buildings are typically occupied
less intensively than dwelling units, so it is reasonable to assume that average
per-worker usage of services is less than average per-resident usage.

The impact fee is based on a system standard. The system standard
incorporates all existing development and public facilities designed to serve
that development. The standard represents the average per capita cost of all
facilities to serve the entire service popuhtion. Using this per capita standard
as a basis for the impact fee ensures an equitable distribution of total system
costs between existing and new development. The City's public facilities
system standard is shown in Tables 4. This standard assumes cash and
general fund financing of Station 17 and debt financing of Station 18. The
per capita cost standard is shown separately for residents and workers because
their respective demand for services is weighted differently (see discussion
above).
Response time
Planning for new fire facilities typically uses a response time standard, or the
time from service call to arrival of the first-response team. The Alameda
County Fire Department has a five-minute average response time standard.
The Department currently considers that it meets that standard on a citywide
basis with average response times of five minutes or less.
MUNIFINANCIAL FINAL REPORT- OCTOBER 18~ 2~ PAGE
C~TY OF DUBLIN
FIRE FACILITIES IMPACT FEE
ISO rating
Another standard used for planning 'fire facilities is in the form of a rating
provided by the Insurance Services Organization (ISO). The insurance -
industry uses ISO ratings to assist in determining insurance premiums for
building owners. The ISO rating is based on travel distance (not travel time)
to the nearest fire station, and other factors such water availability and
communications systems.
Currentl3 the Alameda County Fire Department, the agency that operates the
fire stations serving the City of Dublin, has an ISO rating of Class 2. The
Department's plans for new facilities are intended to maintain that rating as
growth occurs. Any deterioration in the ISO rating would have an adverse
affect on property insurance rates in the City.
Per capita standards and unit costs
To ensure equity between the level of existing facilities and the facilities that
new development should be responsible for, we have developed per capita
facility standards under both the pay-as-you-go and debt financing models.
These standards are based on existing fire department facilities, and are
shown in Tables 4. Use of these standards in calculating the impact fee
ensures that new development pays for the same level of facilities as existing
development has funded in the past.

Fire Facilities To Accommodate New Development
Tables 5 shows the specific configuration of current and future fire facilities.
The allocation of costs for planned facilities to new development within the
Gty is shown in Tables 6. The total cost of facilities associated with growth
is based on the facility standards shown in Tables 4, and represents the
maximum amount that could be funded with an impact fee.
The importance of Tables 6 is the bottom line ($1,684,502) that shows the
share of planned facility costs that must come from revenue sources other
than impact fees imposed within the City. The Gty can raise the funding
needed to complement impact fee revenues over the phnning horizon of this'
study (through 2025). This funding is necessary to justify the fee imposed on
new development within the City using the system standard documented here.
If this funding does not materialize, then new development would have paid
too high a fee.

The City anticipates availability of a limited amount of general fund monies
to fund existing development's fair share of new facilities. The City could also
develop new sources of tax revenue besides impact fees, such as a parcel tax,
though all new taxes would require approval by voters.

Table 7 shows the fire facilities impact fee for new development based on the
facilities cost per capita as shown in Tables 4. The fee represents the
maximum justified fee to fully fund all fire facilities needed to accommodate
growth based on existing facility standards. Both residential and
nonresidential development would pay the fee based on the service
population for fire facilities.

Projected fire facility fee revenue and cash flow analysis
We have prepared models of the fire impact fee fund in order to analyze the
sufficiency and timing of impact fee revenue in relation to capital
expenditures. Tables 8 projects the annual fire facility fee revenue through
build-out (2025). Table 9 presents the cash flow analysis through build-out.
The cash flow analysis assumes capital expenditures for Station 17 in fiscal
year 2002 and Station 18 in fiscal year 2006. The model assumes impact fee
and general fund financing of Station 17 construction costs. The model also
assumes debt financing of Station 18 in the amount of the station's projected
construction cost in current dollars plus the costs of issuance as well as
interim general fund financing of debt service. Debt financing is assumed to
have an interest cost of 5% and maturityin 2015 (10 year term).
The cash flow analysis assumes the general fund will be used, by way of inter-
fund loans, when impact fee revenue becomes inadequate to cover debt
service and capital projects. The inter-fund loans are over and above existing
development's fair share contribution. Impact fee revenues will reimburse the
general fund for all inter-fund loans as detailed in the cash flow analysis on
Table 9. The model assumes the interest cost on interim inter-fund loan
balances from the general fund is offset by interest earnings on positive
impact fee fund balances.
