Section 2-264. Impact Fee Schedule.
(a) The Council hereby adopts and incorporates by reference the "Utility and Municipal

a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Appendix "A" and is
available from the city clerk.
(b) If a development approval is requested for a development with mixed unit type, then
the fee shall be computed by calculating number of units of each type and multiplying the
• results by the appropriate fees on the schedule. When a question arises about which types
on the schedule shall apply to the development, the city manager shall determine which

Subject: Utility and Municipal Services Impact Fee Study
Ladies and Gentlemen
We have completed our study of the utility and municipal Impact fees for water and wastewater
services, police services, fire and rescue services, and recreational services for the City of
Clermont (the "City") and have summarized the results of our analysis, assumptions, and
conclusions in this report, which is submitted for your consideration This report summarizes the
basis for the proposed impact fees in order to provide funds to meet the City's capital expenditure
requirements for such services allocable to growth
Dunng the course of the study, it was determined that the proposed impact fees should meet a
number of goals and objectives These goals and objectives pnmarily deal with fee sufficiency
and level Specifically, the major objectives considered in this study include
• The Impact Fees should be sufficient to fund the projected capital requirements associated
with providing service to new growth and development,
• The Impact Fees should not be used to fund deficiencies in capital needs of the City, if any,
and
• The Impact Fees should be based upon reasonable level of service standards which meet
the needs of the City and are similar to )Industry standards
The proposed municipal and utility services impact fees presented in this report should meet the
above objectives, as identified by the City during this study As such, based on information
provided by the City and the assumptions and considerations reflected in this report, Public
Resources Management Group, Inc considers the proposed fees to be cost - based, reasonable,
and representative of the funding requirements of the City

UTILITY AND MUNICIPAL SERVICES IMPACT FEE STUDY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of an impact fee is to assign, to .the extent practical, growth - related capital costs to
those new customers responsible for such costs To the extent new population growth and
associated development imposes identifiable capital costs to municipal services, equity and
modern capital funding practices suggest the assignment of such cost to those residents or system
users responsible for such costs The City of Clermont (the "City") has recognized this capital
funding strategy as being an appropriate method of funding the certain future capital
requirements of the City The City has, in the past, adopted impact fees for the following
municipal and utility services.
• Water and Wastewater Services
• Police Services
• Fire Rescue Services
• Recreation Services
This report addresses the impact fees associated with water and wastewater service, police
services, fire and rescue services, and recreational services (collectively, the "Utility and
Municipal Services Impact Fees ") The City currently has impact fees for all of these services as
noted above Public Resources Management Group, Inc (PRMG) was retained to review and
develop proposed fees, as appropriate
The following is a summary of the findings and conclusions developed during our investigation,
analyses, and preparation of the report
1 With the exception of the water and wastewater system analysis, the method of impact fee
application recommended to the City is the cost per dwelling unit for the residential class
and the cost per 1,000 square feet of development unit for the non - residential class
(referred to in this report as the Equivalent Impact Fee Units) The utilization of these units
for the application of such fees is common and is used to some degree by all local
governments surveyed
2 The method of impact fee application recommended to the City for the water and
wastewater systems is consistent with the current method utilized for such systems
Charges are determined based on equivalent usage factors for a vanety of classes with the
standard cost based on the assumed usage level associated with a single - family detached
home (cost per ERU) A more thorough discussion related to this fee application is
presented in Section 3
K \DM \1179- OIUtcports\Final\Rcport ES -1
3 The permanent residential population of the City based on estimates developed using
Census data and growth estimates provided by City staff is estimated at 20,017 in 2005 and
is projected to be approximately 35,658 by the end of 2020, for an average annual growth
rate of 3 67% The estimated total number of households based on 2 29 persons per
household is expected to increase from 8,741 to 15,571 for a net gain of 6,830 households
during the forecast penod from 2005 through 2020
4 Based on data provided by the City's planning department, it has been estimated that an
additional 3,701,557 square feet of non - residential development is projected to be
constructed dunng the forecast period reflected in this study Future non - residential
development is assumed to be approximately 236 60 square feet per resident based on
histoncal relationships
5 The level of service (LOS) standard used for the development of the water and wastewater
services impact fee is based on the gallons per day (GPD) required for each equivalent
residential unit (ERU) The City's currently adopted LOS for water services is 520 8 GPD
(217 gallons per person x 2 4 persons per average ERU) while the LOS for the wastewater
system is 350 GPD The standards are consistent with current residential customer usage
patterns and are used as the basis for the proposed water and wastewater impact fees
Based on capital costs attributable to growth as outlined in Section 3, the following
summarizes the proposed water and wastewater impact fees
Water impact Fee $1,608
Wastewater Impact Fee 3.029
Total Combined Utility Impact Fee [ *] $4.637
[•] Per Equivalent residential Unit (ERU) and derived from
Tables 3-4 and 3 -5 of the report
6 The level of service standard used for the development of the police services impact fee is
the number of full -time patrol officers per 1,000 population This standard is commonly
used in the establishment of police services impact fees and, for the City, the target level is
2 0 full -time officers per 1,000 residents. This standard is generally consistent with the
standards referenced in published state and national guidelines (e g , Flonda Department of
Law Enforcement), and is comparable to staffing level ratios for other Flonda
communities Based on costs attributable to growth as outlined in Section 4, the following
summanzes the proposed police services impact fees.
Police Services Impact Fee [ *]
Residential (unit) Non - Residential (sq ft )
Existing Fee $185 $0 0100 — 1 8380
Proposed Fee $457 $0 0793 — 7 6666
[•] Denved from Table 4 -7 in this report
7 The level of service standard used for the development of the fire rescue services impact
fee is the maintenance of first response time of four (4) minutes or less per fire and rescue
K \DM\I 179 -01\Reports\Finai\Rcpon ES -2
alarm The resources required to achieve this standard are the City's personnel and fire
fighting equipment The City currently has a staffing plan that results in an LOS standard
of 1 32 firefighter /rescue personnel per 1,000 population This standard is generally
comparable to staffing level ratios for other Florida communities Based on costs
attributable to growth as outlined m Section 5, the following summarizes the proposed fire
and rescue services impact fees

Existing Fee $194 $0 0390 —1 6460
Proposed Fee $321 $0 0525 — 5 0691
[•] Denved from Table 5 -8 m this report
8 Municipalities typically adopt recreation facilities standards for recreation planning
purposcs as part of the comprehensive planning process These standards deal with the
types of facilities the City desires for its residents The City's adopted level of service is
currently 10 0 acres per 1,000 population, and the City has vanous population standards for
recreation activities and facilities The recreation services impact fee proposed herein was
predicated on the estimated cost of parkland, facilities, and activities (ball fields, basketball
courts, picnic facilities, etc) required to meet the recreational standards as adopted by the
City These standards and their costs are outlined in Section 6 of this report. A major
impact on the proposed level of recreation impact fees is the increased cost of land to
maintain the City's open -space service level Based on the expected costs of these
facilities and activities, and the population of the City for which they are constructed to
serve, the following summarizes the proposed recreational impact fees -
Recreation Services Impact Fee [ *]
Existing Impact Fee $673
Proposed impact Fee $2,087

INTRODUCTION
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The City of Clermont (the "City") is located in Lake County (the "County") 25 miles west of the
City of Orlando, a mayor metropolitan area The City, incorporated in 1916, now compnses
11 5 square miles and provides an array of services to year -round and seasonal residents The
municipal services in demand include water and wastewater management, police and fire
protection services, and parks and recreational services Based on the published Census in 2000,
the City's permanent population was 9,333 Based on historical growth trends and discussions
with the City's Planning Department, the current estimated population is 20,017 as of 2005 It is
anticipated that the City will have significant growth through build -out, however, at that time it
is estimated that the City's population will reach 35,658 with approximately 15,571 housing
units by 2020 (the "Forecast Penod ") In addition to housing, the City anticipates commercial
development to continue to support new residents In order to meet this anticipated growth and
development and to maintain current levels of service, the City will need to fund capital
improvements to serve such development The City's Municipal Services Impact Fees were last
updated in 1998 Although the City has indexed such rates annually thereafter, rates need to be
reviewed penodically to ensure that such fees reflect current growth trends and capital plans
The City authorized Public Resources Management Group, Inc (PRMG) to evaluate the water,
wastewater, police, fire, and recreational impact fees
AUTHORIZATION
PRMG was authonzed by the City to evaluate and develop water and wastewater services, police
services, fire services, and recreational services impact fees pursuant to a letter agreement
between the City and PRMG The scope of work for this project, as defined in the letter
agreement, was to
1 For each service, review and analyze the capital requirements of the City that are needed to
meet the level of service standards for the municipal function This analysis includes a
review of i) the existing and future facility and equipment inventory of each specific
municipal function, n) service area population and development demographics and future
needs, and iii) services provided by class of customers
2 Where appropnate, develop a fee to be charged to new development in order to recover the
capital costs associated with providing municipal services This analysis includes the
apportionment of costs among customer /development classifications, and the development
of the fee per equivalent billing unit
3 Develop a companson of the impact fees and associated billing attributes for similar
charges imposed by other neighbonng jurisdictions

4. Prepare a report that documents our analyses, assumptions, and conclusions for
consideration by the City Manager and City Council
CRITERIA FOR IMPACT FEES
The purpose of an impact fee is to assign, to the extent practical, growth- related capital costs to
those new customers that benefit from the facilities funded by such expenditures To the extent
new population growth and associated development Imposes identifiable capital costs to
municipal services, equity and modern capital funding practices suggest the assignment of such
costs to those residents or system users responsible for such costs rather than the existing
population base Generally, this practice has been labeled as "growth paying its own way "
The use of impact fees as a mechanism to fund capital requirements associated with municipal
growth is becoming widespread. As of November 1994, twenty-five states have adopted
legislation authonzing the use of impact fees and prescribing how such fees may be enacted,
assessed, collected, and expended '
Within the State of Florida, a specific statute authonzing the use of Impact fees does not exist
The authority to impose an impact fee is supported by case law before the Florida courts based
upon broad grants of power including the home rule power of Flonda counties and
municipalities The Municipal Home Rule Powers Act grants Flonda municipalities the
governmental, corporate and proprietary powers to enable them to conduct municipal
government, perform municipal functions, and render municipal services, as limited by
legislation or as prohibited by state constitution or general law Florida courts have ruled that the
Municipal Home Rule Powers Act grants the requisite power and authority to establish valid
impact fees The authonty for Florida governments to implement valid impact fees is further
granted in the Flonda Growth Management Act of 1985 The Act allows for impact fees under
land use regulation by stating
"This section shall be construed to encourage the use of innovative land
development regulations which include provisions such as the transfer of
development rights, incentive and Inclusionary zoning, planned unit development,
impact fees, and performance zoning "
Flonda Statutes, Sec 163 3203(3)
The precedent for impact fees in Flonda was set in the City of Dunedin litigation and judgment
In this case, the Court's ruling found that an equitable cost recovery mechanism, such as impact
fees, can be levied for a specific purpose by a Flonda municipality as a capital charge for
services An Impact fee should not be considered as a special assessment or an additional tax A
special assessment is predicated upon an estimated increment in value to the property assessed
by virtue of the improvement being constructed in the vicinity of the property Further, the
assessment must be directly and reasonably related to the benefit of which the property receives
' Clark, D Development Fees A Legislative History Journal of the Amencan Water Works Association
(November 1994)
K \DM\I179 -01 \Reports\} , aI RCport 1 -2
Impact fees are not related to the value of the improvement to the property but rather to the usage
of the public facility required by the property.
Until property is put to use (i e , developed), there is no burden upon servicing facilities and the
land use may be entirely unrelated to the value or assessment basis of the underlying land With
respect to a comparison to taxes, impact fees are distinguishable pnmanly in the direct
relationship between amount charged and the measurable quantity of public facilities required
In the case of taxation, there is no requirement that the payment be in proportion to the quantity
of public services consumed and funds received by a municipality from taxes can be expended
for any legitimate public purpose
In the Florida Supreme Court decision, Contractors and Builders Association of Pinellas County
versus City of Dunedin, Florida, regarding the validity of impact fees or capital charges, certain
conditions were identified as necessarily present in order to have a valid fee Generally, it is our
understanding that the Court decision addressed the following
1 The system impact fee should be reasonably equitable to all parties, that is, the amount of
the fee must bear a relationship to the amount of services required (the "Rational Nexus"
test)
2 The system of fees and charges should be set up so that there is not an intentional windfall
to existing users
3 The impact fee should, to the extent practicable, only cover the capital cost of construction
and related costs thereto (engineering, legal, financing, administrative, etc) for increases in
or expansions of capacity or capital requirements that are required solely due to growth
Therefore, expenses due to upgrading of a facility (e g , replacement of a capital asset) or
an increase in the level of service should be borne by all users of the facility or
municipality Likewise, increased expenses due to operation and maintenance of that
facility should be borne by all users of the facility
4 The City must adopt a revenue - producing ordinance that explicitly sets forth restrictions on
revenues (uses thereof) that the imposition of the system impact fee generates Therefore,
the funds collected from the system impact fee should be set -aside in a separate account,
and separate accounting must be made for those funds to cnsure that they are used only for
the lawful purposes descnbed
Based on the critena above, impact fees which will be developed in subsequent sections herein
i) will include only the cost of the capital facilities necessary to serve new customer growth,
ii) will not reflect renewal and replacement costs associated with existing capital assets of the
City, and iii) will not include any costs of operation and maintenance of the facilities
IMPACT FEE METHODS
There are several different methods for the calculation of an impact fee. The calculation is
dependent on the type of fee being calculated (e g , water, police services, recreational services,
transportation, etc ), cost and engineenng data available, and the availability of other local data
K \DM \1179 -01 \Rcports\FinaPRcport 1 -3
such as household and population projections, current levels of service, and other related items
The proposed Municipal Services Impact Fees reflected in this report are based on two separate
methods These two methods are i) the improvements -dnven method, and ii) the standards -
dnven method Both methods have been utilized in the development of impact fees for local
governments in Flonda
The improvements -dnven method is an approach that utilizes a specific list of planned capital
improvements over a period of time For example, the fee may correspond to the level of capital
improvements that have been identified in the capital improvements element of the
Comprehensive Plan or capital improvement budget of the local government The
standards -dnven method does not utilize the cost of improvements based on specific capital
budget needs but rather on the theoretical cost of the improvements to the City's capital facilities
for incremental development For example, the standards -dnven method for a transportation
impact fee would consider the theoretical cost of a mile of a new road by the tnp capacity of a
mile of road to establish the cost per tnp The primary difference between the two
methodologies is how the capital costs, which must be recovered from the application of the fee,
are calculated
Both methodologies have their advantages and disadvantages The advantages associated with
the improvements -dnven method include the following
1 Based solely on budgeted capital improvements, thus providing a definite relationship
between the level of fee and need
ii. The use of fees can be shown to be attnbutable to growth based on the capital improvement
plan utilized in the analysis as opposed to capital deficiencies in the system
There are several disadvantages associated with the improvements -dnven method Some of the
disadvantages include the following
i Fee may be based on an intermediate range forecast of capital improvements (e g , five
years) which may not reflect the true level of needs since major capital improvements may
be beyond the time frame of the capital forecast.
11 The fee does not take into account unused capacity at existing facilities which should be
allocated to the users of the facilities
111 The forecast of capital improvements required for new development is still an estimate of
cost and is subject to revisions and updates
iv It may be difficult to apportion to cost of specific improvements among present
deficiencies, growth, and excess capacity
With respect to the standards -dnven method of determining impact fees, there also exist certain
advantages and disadvantages The advantages include the following.
K \DM \1179 -01 \Kcpons\Final\Rcport 1-4
1 Fee is based on a defined level of service and type of facility and it may be easier to
determine the standard cost of the capital facilities associated with such level
11 Provides governments with more flexibility in the use of the collected fees in that they can
identify future capital needs in advance of establishing the specific capital budget
in The development of the fee does not require a detailed projection of future capital
improvements and associated costs and is more applicable to the needs of a small
municipality due to constraints of staff and resources
As one would expect, there are also disadvantages associated with the standards -dnven method
The disadvantages include
i The capital costs for the impact fee are not associated with anticipated or current capital
needs as identified by the City's capital budget, thus increasing the potential of not
providing a clear relationship between the fee and its use
ii The development of the standard cost for capital facilities is based primarily on
engineenng, planning, and financial judgment, although this may be somewhat mitigated
by the level of service standards included in the Comprehensive Planning Process
The proposed impact fees herein for the municipal services include the application of both the
standards -dnven and improvement -dnven methods based on the capital facilities required to
provide services and meet the City's service level standards Where appropnate, the blending of
both methods occurred and a more complete discussion of the methods used for the
determination of the impact fees are presented in Sections 3 through 6

POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT FORECAST
Regardless of the approach taken to formulate impact fees, it is necessary to develop a forecast
of the population of the City in order to i) have an appropriate planning horizon to ensure that
capital improvement needs and costs are apportioned over a suitable growth segment, ii) link
LOS requirements to the capital facility plan, and in) identify any deficiencies in existing capital
facilities related to the LOS standards and current population served
As shown on the following table, the City's estimated total population as of 2000 was 9,333
Based on information provided by the City, it is estimated that the total population will approach
approximately 35,658 residents by the year 2020 Thus, the population growth anticipated by the
City is expected to be significant, approximately 3 67% on an average annual basis through the
year 2020

SECTION 3
WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES
GENERAL
This section of the report summanzes the basis for the development of the City's proposed water
and wastewater impact fees Included in this section is a discussion of the design and calculation
of the proposed water and wastewater impact fees for consideration by the City
DESIGN OF IMPACT FEES
The review of the water and wastewater impact fees is based on the improvements -driven
approach In calculating the proposed fees there are two significant components that are
addressed These two components include i) the level of service to be assigned to the applicants
that request system capacity, and ii) the level or amount of capital cost to be recovered from a
new applicant requesting service Both of these components influence the level of the impact fee
charged expressed on an equivalent residential unit (ERU) basis
Generally, there are two different methods of developing water and wastewater impact fees The
"average" method is bascd on total system assets and capabilities available to serve new growth
(including existing and future expansion), while the "incremental' method is based upon the cost
of the next increment of capacity including only additional assets or expansion capacity needed
to serve new growth The incremental method takes into consideration future capital investment
and capacity additions as identified in the City's water and wastewater capital improvements
plan Since the water and wastewater systems contain existing assets and capabilities that also
have capacity available to serve future growth and the City has also prepared a Master Plan to
further improve and expand such systems to serve new customers, it was determined that the
average method is the appropnate method to calculate the cost of water and wastewater treatment
capacity required to serve new growth
EXISTING IMPACT FEES
The City currently charges a water impact fee by two separate service temtones, East and West,
equal to $1,088 and $490 per ERU, respectively, based on the capital costs of the utility system's
capacity for treatment and transmission/distnbution of potable water. The City also currently
charges a wastewater impact fee equal to $3,104 per ERU for the entire utility service temtory
based on the capital costs of the utility system's capacity for wastewater treatment and collection
of wastewater The reasons for using impact fees as a source of utility capital funding include
the following
1 To defray the capital cost of constructing new utility facilities necessitated by growth,
2 To shift the financial burden of constructing new utility facilities to the new residents for
whose benefit the facilities will be built, and
K \DM\I179 -0I\Reports\Fmnl\Report 3 -1
3 To maintain, to the extent possible, existing utility rates while funding a portion of capital
costs associated with growth
The existing water and wastewater impact fees were adopted in 1998 pursuant to City Ordinance
which sets forth the purpose of the fees, the level of fees charged to new applicants requesting
water and wastewater service, and other parameters related to the administration of impact fees
The water and wastewater impact fees are applied on an ERU basis, which reflects a unit of
measure that approximates the average demand or capacity requirements of a single - family
residential customer The ERU concept defines all other types of customers as a percentage or a
multiple of a single - family residence on the basis of the estimated water consumption (and/or
wastewater flow) of such customers relative to residential service levels The City has indexed
such fees annually since adoption in 1998 based on the Engineering News Record Construction
Cost Index
LEVEL OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
In the evaluation of the capital facility needs for providing water and wastewater utility services,
it is important that a level of service (LOS) standard be developed Pursuant to Chapter 9J -5,
Flonda Administrative Code, the "level of service" means an indicator of the extent or degree of
service provided by, or proposed to be provided by a facility based on and related to the
operational charactenstics of the facility Level of service shall indicate the capacity per unit of
demand for each public facility or service Essentially, the level of service standards are
established in order to ensure that adequate capacity will be provided for future development and
for purposes of issuing development orders or permits, pursuant to Section 163 3202(2)(g) of the
Flonda Statutes As further stated in the Administrative Code, each local government shall
establish a LOS standard for each public facility located within the boundary for which such
local government has authority to issue development orders or permits Such LOS standards are
set for each mdividual facility or facility type and not necessanly on a system -wide basis
For water and wastewater service, the level of service that is commonly used in the industry is
the amount of capacity allocable to an equivalent residential unit (ERU) expressed as the amount
of usage (gallons) allocated on an average daily basis This allocation of capacity represents the
amount of capacity allocable to an ERU, whether or not such capacity is actually used
(commonly referred to as "readiness to serve ") As previously mentioned, an ERU is
representative of the average capacity required to serve a typical individually- metered single -
family residential account This class of users represents the largest group of customers served
by a public utility such as the City and has among the lowest level of usage requirements for
specifically metered accounts
Based on information provided by the City, the level of service has previously been established
for both the water and wastewater utility systems as part of the master planning process The
level of service assumed for each specific utility service is shown below

EXISTING CAPITAL FACILITIES AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City maintains a significant investment in the existing water and wastewater systems Such
assets are used to produce, treat, and distribute potable water to customers and to collect, treat,
and dispose of wastewater As discussed previously, the existing investment in facilities
currently has some capacity available to serve future customers, therefore, an allocated portion of
the cost of these assets is Included in the impact fees
The City constructed and currently maintains a number of water and wastewater treatment plants
and has a significant investment in transmission and distribution lines As shown in Table 3 -1,
the following reflects the City's existing investment in the water and wastewater systems

The City also maintains a long -range capital Improvement program (CIP) for its water and
wastewater systems and recently adopted a Master Plan prepared by Boyle Engineenng
Corporation The capital projects identified in the Master Plan are provided in detail in Tables 3-
2 and 3 -3 for the water and wastewater systems, respectively. The Master Plan anticipates the
City's water and wastewater demands through estimated build -out and Includes the following
improvements
• Water System Capital Improvement
— Construction of Sunburst Lane WTP
— Expansion of Greater Hills WTP
— Construction of a Conceptual WTP
— Expansion of Water Reclamation Facility (Water Supply)
— Construction of Water Transmission Mains
• Wastewater System Capital Improvement
— Expansion of Water Reclamation Facility (Wastewater Treatment)
— Decommission/Conversion of West WWTP
— Construction of Lift Stations and Force Mains

The City will also incur significant expenditures for renewals and replacements, however, no
such costs are included in the proposed impact fees, which is consistent with impact fee cntena
as established by Flonda case law As shown in Table 3 -2, the City will invest approximately
$69 million in the water system adding 19 03 million gallons per day (MGD) of water capacity
Table 3 -3 reflects the City's planned investment in the wastewater system of approximately $80
million, which will expand its capacity by 8 0 MGD
DESIGN OF WATER IMPACT FEE
The City currently maintains a separate water system impact fee for the eastern and western
portions of the utility system Based on the current system configuration, the system now
operates as a single system, therefore, maintaining separate fees is no longer appropriate As
shown on Table 3 -4, the proposed impact fee for the water system is $1,608 per ERU This
represents an increase in the eastern fee of $520 or 48% above the current fee per ERU and an
increase of $1,118 in the western fee or 228% per ERU The reasons for these increases are due
to the need to add additional water supply and treatment capacity which benefits future growth
Although the increase in the fee is significant when expressed on a percentage basis, as will be
discussed later in this report, the proposed fees reflect system costs and are comparable with
neighboring ,jurisdictions
in the development of the proposed water impact fees, several assumptions were utilized or
incorporated in the analysis The major assumptions utilized in the design of the proposed water
impact fees are
1 The level of service for a water ERU was assumed to be 520 8 gallons per day (gpd)
expressed on an average daily flow basis as reflected in the City's Impact Fee Ordinance
and is based on 217 GPD per person at 2.4 persons per ERU
2 The existing water production and treatment facilities have capacity available to serve new
customer growth and are essential in providing such service Table 3 -4 presents the
histoncal cost of existing production and treatment facilities plus planned improvements
and less estimated developer contributions Based upon the City's current LOS for the
water system of 520 8 GPD per ERU, the existing facilities have approximately 4 39% of
total capacity available to serve new growth, or approximately $326,000 in reserved capital
investment
3 The capital improvements previously identified and reflected in Table 3 -2 will provide an
additional capacity of approximately 19 MGD The costs associated with this expansion
capacity are estimated at $14,623,661 as shown in Table 3 -2 and included in the fee
determination on Table 3 -4 Based upon the City's water LOS of 520 8 GPD per ERU, the
new facilities are of serving 36,532 new ERUs.
4 The water transmission and distribution system is currently anticipated to be capable of
serving a total capacity of 46,932 ERUs (10,400 current capacity and 36,532 future
capacity) The City's current investment in the existing transmission system is
approximately $4,143,443 and as illustrated in Table 3 -2, the City plans $52,913,661 in
K \DM\I179 -0I\ Reports \ Final \Report 3-4
total improvements After reducing such investment for developer contributions and
grants, the City's total planned investment is approximately $56,529,279
As shown_on Table 3 -4, the proposed water impact fee was calculated on a blend of histoncal
and future capital costs for the water production and treatment facilities and histoncal and future
costs of the transmission system facilities By designing the water system impact fee to recover
certain costs on a prospective basis, an attempt is made to design a charge that will provide funds
to help meet the future capital needs of the water system It should be noted that in the event the
construction costs, capacity requirements, or utility service area matenally change, the water
impact fee may need to be adjusted accordingly
As shown on Table 3 -4, the proposed water impact fee is $1,608 per ERU Based on the capital
facilities associated with the determination of the fce, the functional breakdown of the
components of the rate are as follows
Water Production/Treatment $404
Water Transmission/Distnbution 1.204
Total Fee
DESIGN OF WASTEWATER IMPACT FEE
As shown on Table 3 -5, the proposed impact fee for the wastewater system is $3,029 per ERU
This reflects a proposed reduction in the current fee
In the development of the proposed wastewater impact fee, several assumptions were utilized or
incorporated in the analysis The major assumptions utilized in the design of the proposed
wastewater impact fees are
1 The level of service for a wastewater ERU was assumed to be 350 gallons per day (gpd)
expressed on an average daily flow basis as provided by the City
2 The existing wastewater treatment facilities have capacity available to serve new customer
growth and are essential in providing such service Table 3 -5 presents the histoncal cost of
existing treatment facilities plus planned improvements and less estimated planned
retirements Based upon the City's current LOS for the wastewater system of 350 GPD per
ERU, the existing facilities have approximately 7 91% of total capacity available to serve
new growth
3 The capital improvements identified previously and reflected in Table 3 -3 will provide an
expansion capacity of approximately 8 0 MGD The costs associated with this expansion
are estimated at $36,000,000 as shown in Table 3 -3 and included in the fee determination
on Table 3 -4 Based upon" the City's wastewater LOS of 350 GPD per ERU, the new
'facilities are capable of serving 22,857 new ERUs
4 The wastewater disposal and collection system is currently anticipated to be capable of
serving a total capacity of 28,571 ERUs (5,714 current capacity and 22,857 future
K \DM \I 179 -0I\Repons \Final\Repo i 3 -5
capacity) The City's current investment in the disposal system is approximately
$1,667,047 and the City plans for $18,275,235 in total improvements available to serve
new growth The City's current investment in the collection system is approximately
$4,718,773 and the City plans $17,440,000 in collection improvements Following
adjustments for developer contnbutions, the City's net investment in the collection and
disposal system available to serve new growth is estimated at $40,124,685
As shown on Table 3 -5, the proposed impact fee was calculated on a blend of histoncal and
future costs for wastewater treatment facilities and histoncal and future costs of the disposal and
collection system available to serve future growth By designing the system impact fee to
recover costs on this basis, an attempt is made to design a charge that will provide funds on a
reasonable basis in order to meet the future capacity needs of the wastewater system It should
be noted that in the event the capacity requirements or costs matenally change from what was
reflected, the wastewater impact fee may need to be adjusted accordingly.
As shown on Table 3 -5, the proposed wastewater impact fee is recommended to be $3,029 per
ERU to be applied to an ERU basis Based on the capital facilities associated with the
determination of the fee, the functional breakdown of the components of the rate are as follows
Wastewater Treatment $1,625
Wastewater Disposal 680
Wastewater Collection 724
Total Fee $.
FEE APPLICATION
With respect to the application of impact fees a variety of methods are used by Florida utilities,
meter - based, attnbute- based, and fixture -based Based on our expenence in working with
utilities in Flonda and throughout the State, the following is a summary of impact fee application
procedures
1 For impact fees charged to individually- metered residential accounts (single- family), such
accounts are generally considered as one (1) equivalent residential unit (ERU) An
equivalent residential unit represents the average water or wastewater demand expressed on
an average gallons per day basis utilized by a typical single- family residence Generally
due to administrative concerns, all individually- metered residential customers are
considered to be one (1) ERU However, some utilities further differentiate the single
family residential class by square footage, number of bedrooms within the residence or
meter size serving the account recognizing the trade -off between a higher degree of equity
in fee application versus the administrative cost It should be noted that this class of
customers represents the majority of connections made to most utility systems.
2 The impact fees charged for master metered residential customers (connections which
serve a multiple of residential dwelling units with the usage measured through a single
meter), institutional, and commercial or general service customers generally are structured
to vary in order to recognize differences in the usage /capacity charactenstics of such
K \DM\1179- 01Vicpons\Final\Repon 3 -6
customers Essentially, those customers that require a higher level of plant capacity
(i e , have greater usage requirements) will pay a higher impact fee The specific method
for calculating the fee to be charged to such non - single family residential connections
vanes based on the practices and policies of each utility The vanous practices with respect
to determining non - single family residential ERUs include
a For the master metered residential connections, many utilities consider these customers
as residential use and base impact fees on the number of dwelling units served behind
the meter Generally, the ERU factor applied to each multi - family dwelling unit is
expressed as a multiple of single - family ERU (e g , 0 7 ERCs per dwelling unit) with
such factor not being greater than 1 0 ERU per dwelling unit In some instances,
however, no differentiation is made between master metered residential accounts or
commercial accounts with the size of the service (e g , meter size) dictating the implied
capacity requirements and impact fee level
b For commercial and institutional customers, many utilities, including the City, attempt
to differentiate the capacity charactenstics of a customer based on certain
demographics or business attnbutes of the customer This approach relies upon
specific customer charactenstics to estimate each individual customer's capacity needs
For example, the capacity of a restaurant may be based on the number of square feet of
the restaurant Another example of using this method is to estimate the capacity needs
for a hotel based on the number of rooms Also, a number of utilities base the estimate
of individual customer capacity needs on a fixture count of the physical number of taps
and drains located in the customer's premises and estimated flow per fixture based on
amounts published in the Standard Plumbing Code This method is often used in
conjunction with other methods that rely upon specific business attnbutes for
calculating the capacity needs of certain types of customers
c Another approach for the determination of the impact fees for the vanous service
connections is the use of meter or service size equivalents in the determination of
customer capacity needs Essentially the size of the meter is assumed to be linked to
the capacity requirements of a user whereby the higher the usage needs of a customer,
the larger the size of the meter that needs to be installed for service This method
generally incorporates information published by the American Water Works
Association (the M22 manual entitled Sizing Water Service Lines and Meters) and is
usually based on the instantaneous demands capable of such meter This methodology,
while easy to administer, does not account for the potential usage diversity among
customers being served by larger meters (c g , two different customers with the same
meter size often have significant differences in capacity needs)
The City currently has an impact fee ordinance for its water and wastewater systems, and it is
recommended that the City continue its current method of application on an ERU basis
COMPARISON WITH OTHER UTILITIES
In order to provide additional information regarding the competitiveness of the proposed impact
fees, a comparison of the recommended fees with similar fees charged by neighbonng
K \DM\1179 -0 I\ Reports \FinaNtcport 3 -7
junsdictions was prepared This companson is summanzed on Tables 3 -6 for the water and
wastewater systems The companson reflects a standard equivalent residential unit (ERU) which
is typical for the fees charged to an individually- metered single- family residential connection,
and compnses the majonty of connections, served by both the City and the surveyed public
utilities included in the comparison
It is important to note that no in -depth analysis has been performed to determine the methods
used in the development of the impact fees imposed by others, nor has any analysis been made to
determine whether 100% of the cost of new facilities is recovered from capital facility charges,
or some percentage less than 100% with the balance being recovered through user charges
Additionally, no analysis was conducted as to the type of utility plant facilities (treatment
process, level of service, etc) currently in service or planned for the surveyed utility For
example, the costs of wastewater effluent disposal utilizing a deep injection well system or
reclaimed water distribution system generally have a higher capital cost per unit of capacity than
surface water discharge Additionally, utilities that have a poor quality water supply (which is
contrary to the City) generally will have increased capital costs associated with higher levels or
degrees of water treatment (c g., reverse osmosis)
As shown on Tables 3 -6, the proposed water and wastewater impact fees for the City are
comparable with similar fees charged by other neighboring utilities.

services to be applied to new growth within the City
LEVEL OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
In the evaluation of the capital facility needs for providing municipal services such as police
protection, a level of service (LOS) standard should be developed Pursuant to Chapter 9J -5,
Florida Administrative Code, the "level of service" means an indicator of the extent or degrees of
service provided by, or proposed to be provided by a facility based on and related to the
operational characteristics of the facility Level of service shall indicate the capacity per unit of
demand for each public facility or service Essentially, the level of service standards are
established in order to ensure that adequate facility capacity will be provided for future
development and for purposes of issuing development orders or permits, pursuant to
Section 163 3202(2)(g) of the Flonda Statutes As further stated in the Administrative Code,
each local government shall establish a LOS standard for each public facility located within the
boundary for which such local govemment has authonty to issue development orders or permits
Such LOS standards are set for each individual facility or facility type and not on a system -wide
basis
Based on information provided by the City's Police Department, there currently are 10
administrative officers and 28 patrols officers to serve a total population of 20,017 permanent
residents as shown m Table 4 -1 Based upon current staffing plans, the City has budgeted for six
(6) more patrol officers or a total of 34 This translates to a current level of service of 1 70
full -time patrol officers per 1,000 population served Based on discussions with the Police
Department, the targeted level of service is 2 0, which is considered an appropnate LOS for
police services The City's targeted level of service is comparable with police staffing guidelines
as published by state and national law enforcement agencies as follows
• The Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S Department of Justice, Uniform Cnme Report
that indicated an average achieved standard of 2 5 police officers and 0 7 support personnel
per 1,000 inhabitants for population areas in the Southern United States
• The Florida Department of Law Enforcement recognizes a state average of 2 2 officers and
0 8 support personnel per 1,000 population
Each full time patrol officer requires a complement of personnel equipment, vehicles and other
equipment, and base facilities, as follows
K \DM \I 179 -01\Rcports\FinaNtcport 4 -1
Personnel Equipment
• Each sworn officer must be equipped with uniforms, weapons, and other relevant personal
equipment to perform his/her duties A complete inventory of personal equipment is
identified in Table 4 -2 A few of the basic issue items include
1 Service weapon,
2 Ballistic (protective) vest,
3. Handcuffs and baton, and
4 Portable radio
Based on discussions with the City's Finance Department, it is currently the City's policy to
expense equipment with costs less than $1,000 These costs are all mission - essential, but only
$1,439 per officer is anticipated to be capitalized as assets based upon this standard
Vehicles and Other Equipment
• The department maintains a fleet of patrol and administrative vehicles to provide police
protection services to the City The City anticipates providing 0 75 vehicles per one patrol
officer, which means that officers will have to share vehicles between shifts Therefore,
the level of service per patrol vehicle for fee determination is 0 75 1 The City also
anticipates funding 0 29 administrative and supervisory vehicles per one patrol officer
This will allow the City to accrue a portion of costs for new administrative and supervisory
vehicles required for new administrative positions required by new growth Therefore, the
level of service per administrative vehicle for fee determination is 0 29 1 Generally, each
vehicle must be equipped with relevant communications, detection /surveillance, and
defense equipment. Table 4 -3 provides a detail of vehicles and vehicle equipment Also
Table 4 -3 presents other mission - essential equipment used in operations such as radar
units, cnme prevention trailer, generators, and special weapons This equipment is
anticipated to serve 28 patrol officers at the current level
Base Facilities
• The City's existing police headquarters compnses 9,921 square feet or a current level of
service of 354 square feet per existing patrol officer The existmg facility is considered
built -out and will need to be expanded to accommodate new patrol officers The expansion
will accommodate forty-three (43) new officers, which includes twelve (12) officer
deficiencies to meet the LOS of 2 0 and thirty-one (31) officers to serve new growth
Table 4 -4 presents the allocation of headquarters cost per patrol officer to future growth
RESOURCE NEEDS ANALYSIS
Currently, the Police Department's level of service standard requires forty (40) full -time patrol
officers as adjusted for staff deficiencies Based on the assumed level of service standards (2 0
officers per 1,000 population) and population projections for the City, it is anticipated that the
City will need a police force of 71 sworn full -time patrol officers to provide police protection
services by 2020 This represents an increase of thirty-one (31) patrol officers over the existing
K \DM\1179 -01\Reports\FinaNieport 4 -2
staffing level needs Additional support staff (administrative personnel) will also need to be
increased accordingly, as will equipment (personnel and vehicular) for the officers
Number of Employees

Support Personnel 17 30
Total Personnel 41 122
[ *] Personnel assumed at a population of 35,658 based on a level of service of
2 0 full -time patrol officers per 1,000 population
The standards -dnven method, described in Section 1, was used to develop the police services
impact fees The standards -driven method was used to determine the direct capital cost to equip
and provide a portion of vehicle, headquarter, and other equipment costs for a full -time patrol
officer In the development of the capital cost required to serve new development, several
capital cost parameters were recognized as shown in Table 4 -4 The parameters include the costs
of directly equipping the next increment of police protection services (i e , a full -time patrol
officer) These capital costs would include personnel equipment, vehicles, communication
equipment, and other support related equipment and machinery A final parameter deals with the
cost recovery of the headquarters required to house the new patrol officers and support staff and
includes investment in the land, buildings, and furnishings allocable to the police service
function
Tables 4 -2 and 4 -3 provide a breakdown of the individual cost items Table 4 -4 summanzes the
estimated capital costs to equip a full -time patrol officer for the City recognizing the parameters
descnbed above The estimated capital cost of an additional full -time patrol officer is $146,899,
including the cost of vehicles, other related equipment, and allocated headquarters costs The
following is a summary of the estimated capital cost required to equip and support a full -time
patrol officer
Amount Percent
Personnel Equipment Costs $1,439 1 0%
Vehicles and Equipment Costs 60,254 41 0%
Headquarter Costs 85.206 58 0%
Total Allocated Costs $146,899 100.0%

DESIGN OF POLICE SERVICES IMPACT FEE
The method used to determine the police services Impact fee was based upon a four -step process
Tables 4 -5 and 4 -6 help to illustrate the results of the approach The following is a bnef
description of the method used in this study
K \DM \I 179 -01\Itcports \Final \Rcpon 4 -3
• Development of Total Capital Need — Based on population projections, level of service
standards, and allocated incremental capital costs per patrol officer This amount is the
total allocated capital cost to serve the projected population growth
• Allocation of Base Capital Costs to Customer Classes — This step allocates the base capital
costs, the reserved service capacity allocable to all customer classes irrespective of call
demand The base costs are calculated on a per person basis and then allocated between
residential and non - residential land -uses based on "functional population" estimates
• Allocation of Variable Costs to Customer Classes — This step allocates the remaining
capital costs to equip a new patrol officer between the resident and non - residential land -
uses based upon call demand Therefore, some classes of land -use, which may incur few or
no service calls, will carry a lower cost than other high- demand sectors such as
convenience stores, bars, and restaurants
• Calculation of Cost per Equivalent Impact Fee Unit — Once the allocated base and vanable
costs are identified per land -use, they are summarized and presented as a unit of measure
basis, per dwelling unit, per 1,000 square feet, or per acre Table 4 -6 provides a detailed
listing of the proposed impact fees and their appropnate land -use and measures
Police Services Impact Fee Assumptions
The development of the police services impact fees required a number of assumptions The
major assumptions used in the development of the proposed impact fees are as follows
1 In the development of the capital costs required to equip a full -time patrol officer, the
capital costs of providing police protection services were allocated to establish the cost of
serving the next incremental full -time patrol officer The costs were allocated to the next
increment of service (one full -time patrol officer) based on the following allocation
parameters
a The direct cost of equipping one full -time patrol officer (e g , personnel equipment)
was allocated based on discussions with the City's Finance Department The new
officers are not required to contnbute a cost recovery to basic issue equipment, and it is
the City's current policy to capitalize those costs greater than $1,000 This equipment
is mission essential and is listed on Table 4 -2
b Based on discussions with the department, the targeted service level of patrol and
administrative vehicles to a full -time patrol officer is considered reasonable for the
purpose of this study Therefore, the level of service for patrol vehicles has been
assumed to be equal to 0 75 vehicles per new full -time patrol officer and for
administrative vehicles has been assumed to be equal to 0 29 vehicles per new patrol
officer Based on discussions with the City's Police Chief, it is assumed that other
mission - essential equipment, including radar units, generators, and special weapons,
although not easily assignable per patrol officer, would be acquired in relation to the
number of new patrol officers The existing inventory levels for these items per patrol
K \DM\1179 -0 I\Reports\ final \Report 4-4
officer are therefore projected to remain constant As Illustrated in Table 4 -3, the
following represents the estimated costs for equipment as allocated per full -time patrol
officer
Patrol Vehicles per Officer $20,171
Administrative /Supervisory Vehicles per Officer 7,800
Other Equipment per Officer 32.283
Total $60,254
c The City's existing police headquarters comprises 9,921 square feet or a current level
of service of 354 square feet per existing patrol officer Based on discussions with the
Police Chief and City staff, the existing facility is considered built -out and will need to
be expanded to accommodate new patrol officers The cost per new patrol officer is
presented in Table 4 -4 and is summanzed as follows
Police Facilities Cost
Building Cost per Patrol Officer $61,950
Land Cost per Patrol Officer 23.256
Total Facilities Cost per Patrol Officer $85,206
2 In the development of the capital costs per patrol officer, it was assumed that the targeted
level of service be achieved by the City through the entire forecast period This level of
service includes only the amount of full -time patrol officers to serve the general population
of the City As previously mentioned, the level of service assumed in this study is 2 0 full -
time patrol officers per 1,000 of population
3 The estimated capital base costs or .reserved service capacity, allocable to all customer
classes were allocated between the residential and non - residential customer classes based
on "functional population" estimates The concept of functional population is incorporated
in order to spread capital costs more equitably between residential and non - residential land -
uses Businesses place demands on police services in exactly the same manner as residents
do, and it is equitable to spread -these costs based on the average number of people
expected to be present For the residential uses, the allocation is calculated per resident
based on the average amount of time spent at the residence The resident's remaining time
is then allocated as either an employee and/or visitor to the remaining non - residential
classes as determined using traffic generations, estimated employment data, and
operational details The net result is the total number of person hours per location The
base costs are calculated on a per person basis and then applied to the residential and non-
residential land -uses based upon the respective functional population coefficient
4 The estimated variable capital cost of providing for a full -time patrol officer was allocated
between the residential and non - residential customer classifications based on the number of
service calls made by the Police Department per land -use for 2004 and is projected through
2020
K \DM\I 179-0 I\Reports\Ftnol\Itcpon 4 -5
For the purposes of this study, all traffic calls were assigned to the customer classes based
on the percent relationship of the specifically identified service calls for such classes
Based on the average number of service calls, the number of calls allocated to each class of
customer was assumed for the forecast penod as follows
Residential 49 17%
Non - Residential 50 83%
Impact Fee Calculation
Based on the above - referenced assumptions, the allocated capital facilities, and the population
and land use projections of the City, the police services impact fees for the residential and non -
residential customer classifications were developed As shown in Table 4 -6 at the end of this
section, the cost per equivalent impact fcc unit by customer classification was determined The
following summanzcs thc proposed changes to the residential police protection impact fees
Existing Proposed
Single- Family (per Dwelling Unit) [ *] $185 $457
Multi -Family (per Dwelling Unit) 72 390
[ *] Includes mobile homes
Taking into account the methodology used for the determination of the fee and the estimates of
the capital requirements, it is concluded that the proposed impact fee based on the City's LOS
standard is reasonable It should be noted that In the development of the fee per equivalent
impact fee unit that no credits associated with developer land dedication or other similar
activities have been recognized Also, it should be noted that the proposed incremental capital
improvements do not include any inflationary allowances
In the development of the cost per equivalent impact fee unit, it was determined that the rate
should be applied on a "per dwelling unit" basis for the residential class and pnmanly on a "per
square footage" of commercial development for the non - residential class As shown in Table 4-
6, some non - residential land -uses are measured by units other than square feet These factors are
common throughout the state as thc equivalent impact fee unit for fee determination The use of
these equivalency factors was based on discussions with the City, comparisons of fee
applicability provisions of neighbonng junsdictions, and promotion of administrative simplicity
IMPACT FEE COMPARISONS
In order to provide the City additional information about the proposed impact fees, a companson
of the proposed fees for the City and those charged by other neighbonng junsdictions was
prepared Table 4 -7 at the end of this section summarizes the impact fees for police protection
services charged by other communities with the proposed rates of the City
K \DM \I 179 -0I \Repons \Final\Report 4 -6
Also, as shown in Table 4 -7 for other communities, the fees charged to the residential class are
applied using a "per dwelling unit" basis, which is consistent with the recommended fee
applicability provisions of the City's proposed fees For the non - residential class and, as
previously discussed, the fees are applied on the basis of the amount of square foot of facility
development (This was consistent for all of the local governments surveyed )

SECTION 5
FIRE RESCUE SERVICES IMPACT FEE
GENERAL
This section provides a discussion of the development and design of the impact fee for fire
rescue services Included in this section is a discussion of the level of service requirements and
capital costs included as the basis for the determination of the fee level and the design of the fee
to be applied to new growth within the City
LEVEL OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
There is 'currently no formally adopted level of service for the City's fire rescue services,
however, it is the City's intent to maintain staffing levels that provide services to all developed
areas in order to be able to respond to service calls within a specified time penod to maintain
Insurance Service Organization (ISO) property insurance ratings in the community As a
practical matter, this response time standard (4 minutes or less) is based upon recognized
industry standards not only having to do with property protection, but also in providing
Emergency Medical Support services (EMS) The department will continue to set appropnate
goals related to service standards
Another important critena related to the response capability of a municipal Fire Department such
as the City's is related to the type of service area in terms of occupancy and structures to be
protected The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) his developed certain guidelines
for the evaluation of a Fire Department's response which are summarized as follows
(Remainder of page intentionally left blank)
K \DM \I I79 -OIVL(,ports \ final \Report 5 -i
Evaluation of Response Capability
High Hazard Occupancies (Schools, hospitals, nursing homes, explosive plants, refineries,
high -nee buildings, and other high -life hazard or large fire potential occupancies)
At least 4 pumpers, 2 ladder trucks, 2 chief officers, and other specialized apparatus, as may be
needed to cope with the combustible Involved, not Tess than 24 firefighters and 2 chief officers
Medium Hazard Occupancies (Apartments, offices, mercantile and industnal occupancies not
normally requiring extensive rescue or firefighting forces)
At least 3 pumpers, 1 ladder truck, 1 chief officer, and other specialized apparatus, as may be
needed or available, not less than 16 firefighters and 1 chief officer
Low Hazard Occupancies (One, two, or three family dwellings and scattered small businesses
and industnal occupancies
At least 2 pumpers, 1 ladder truck, 1 chief officer, and other specialized apparatus, as may be
needed or available, not less than 12 firefighters and 1 chief officer
Rural Operations (Scattered dwellings, small businesses and farm buildings)
At least I pumper with a large water tank (500 or more gallons), one mobile water supply
apparatus (1,000 gallons or larger) and such other specialized apparatus, as may be necessary to
perform effective, initial firefighting operations, at least 6 firefighters and 1 chief officer
Additional Alarms
At least the equivalent of that required for Rural Operations for second alarms, equipment, as
may be needed according to the type of emergency and capabilities of the Fire Department This
may involve the immediate use of mutual aid companies until local forces can be supplemented
with additional off -duty personnel
Based on the occupancies descnbed above, recognizing that the City has a number of multi -story
buildings (e g , condominiums) hospitals, or large fire potential occupancies such as schools
located within the City, it appears that the City should plan its firefighting capabilities towards a
medium to high hazard occupancy level In order to meet the service standards required of the
community for responding to fire and rescue alarms, the City has entered into several mutual aid
agreements with other parties, including Lake County (the "County"), to provide mutual
assistance in emergencies, as deemed feasible (the "Mutual Agreement ") The purpose of the
Mutual Agreements are to initiate action leading to a first- response program for fire and rescue
services and provide additional service support at the request of either party The benefit of
these agreements is a cost savings by all parties due to reduced staffing and equipment
requirements needed in emergency situations Also, the City further enhances its services and
reduces its operational costs through the use of volunteers, citizen firefighters
K \DM \I179 -0 l\Rcporls\FmuNtcpon 5 -2
Generally, the level of service standard for fire rescue services and emergency medical services
is based on response times in a first alarm situation The City is committed to maintaining an
average response time of four (4) minutes or less The most vital resource to meeting this
standard is the City's personnel The existing number of personnel and projected staffing needs
have been identified by the City Presently, the City has 25 5 full -time personnel of whom 20 0
are full -time firefighter /rescue personnel, as shown in Table 5 -1 and below
Summary of
Existing Personnel
Fire Chief 1 0
Captain/Fire Marshall 1 0
Fire Inspector 2 0
Firefighter /Rescue Personnel 20 0
Administrative Assistant 1 5
Total Current Full -Time Personnel 25.5
The City utilizes resources from the Police Department for dispatching Approximately twelve
(12) police dispatchers are allocated for the service The City also pools twenty-two (22)
volunteer, citizen firefighters, which allows the City to keep operating costs low
Based on the needs of the City and as discussed with the Fire Chief, current staffing needs have
been identified through 2020 and includes the staffing of a new fire station, Number 4 These
include the following
Firefighter/Rescue Personnel — The Fire Chief has identified the need for twenty-seven (27)
additional firefighter /rescue personnel through 2020
Thus, the staffing requirements for the existmg LOS are as follows:
Summary of Personnel Required
Level of Service
Fire Chief 1 0
Division Commander 2 0
- Captain/Fire Marshall 0 0
Fire inspector 2 0
Firefighter/Rescue Personnel 47 0
Administrative Assistant 2 0
Total Required Personnel for
Existing Level of Service 54.0
Based on planned staffing levels above, the level of service relative to the future population of
35,658 residents is 47 firefighter /rescue personnel or 1 32 personnel per 1,000 population Based
on the current staffing levels for the existing population and with respect to anticipated
development, this would seem to be a reasonable LOS (in terms of firefighter /rescue personnel
per 1,000 population)
K 'DM \I 179- O1Vtcports\Final \Report 5 -3
RESOURCE NEEDS ANALYSIS
The method used to determine the fire rescue services impact fees is the standards -dnven
method The standards -dnven method was utilized in thc allocation of costs associated with
major capital facilities that service the City's first alarm service area The capital cost parameters
include allocations for personnel equipment, vehicles, other direct firefighting and emergency
medical equipment, and fire station and headquarter facilities Personnel protection equipment
such as helmets and bunker coats and trousers are mission - essential, a portion of these costs is
included in fee determination since the City does capitalize equipment charges greater than
$1,000 Table 5 -2 itemizes the personnel equipment as provided by the City
Table 5 -3 reflects the existing facilities and equipment required to maintain the City's level of
service and Table 5 -4 provides the proposed facilities and equipment to maintain such standards
through 2020 Table 5 -5 summarizes these costs on a per rescue personnel basis As shown on
Table 5 -5, and summanzed below, approximately $7,210,854 in total capital investments will
have been made in order to provide fire services within the City's emergency management
response area through 2020

DESIGN OF FIRE RESCUE SERVICES IMPACT FEE
The method used to determine the fire rescue services impact fee was based upon the same four
step process as was descnbed for the determination of the police impact fee. Tables 5 -6 and 5 -7
help to illustrate the results of the approach The following is a brief descnption of the method
used in this study
• Development of Total Capital Need — Based on discussions with the City and the Fire
Department and the level of service requirements related to the maintenance of first
response time, the incremental facilities and related costs to serve the population through
the forecast penod reflected in the analysis was developed
• Allocation of Base Capital Costs to Customer Classes — This step allocates the base capital
costs, the reserved service capacity allocable to all customer classes irrespective of call
demand The base costs are calculated on a per person basis and then allocated between
residential and non - residential land -uses based on "functional population" estimates
• Allocation of Vanable Costs to Customer Classes — This step allocates the remaining
capital costs to provide fire rescue services between the residential and non - residential
land -uses based upon call demand Therefore, some classes of land -use, which may incur
K \DM\I 179 -01 \Reports\Final\Report 5-4
few or no service calls, will carry a lower cost than other high- demand sectors such as bars
and restaurants
• Calculation of Cost per Equivalent Impact Fee Unit — Once the allocated base and variable
costs are identified per land -use, they are summanzed and presented as a unit of measure
basis, per dwelling unit, per 1,000 square feet, or per acre Table 5 -7 provides a detailed
listing of the proposed impact fees and their appropnate land -use and measures
Fire Rescue Services Impact Fee Assumptions
The development of the fire rescue services impact fees' required several assumptions The
major assumptions used in the development of the proposed impact fees are as follows
1 In the development of the capital costs allocable to serve the projected fire rescue needs of
the City, the City addressed its facility needs and staffing requirements through 2020 As
previously mentioned, the level of service assumed in this report was to maintain a four -
minute response time within the response zone of the City This level of service is
generally related to the location and proximity of available fire stations and the number of
firefighters /rescue personnel and vehicles such that the response times can be achieved
Based on prospective demands and a need for another fire station, the City will require 47
firefighters /rescue personnel by 2020 Based on staffing needs for firefighting/rescue
personnel, the relationship appears to be adequate to maintain the first response LOS for
medium to high hazard occupancies The staffing level of service as previously discussed
was calculated at 1 32 firefighter /rescue personnel per 1,000 population
2 In the development of the total capital costs of providing fire rescue services through the
forecast period, an estimate of the total capital costs required for such service was
developed The total capital costs were based on information provided by and discussions
with the City's Fire Department and the following summarizes the significant assumptions
used in the fee determination
a The direct cost of equipping one full -time firefighter /rescue personnel (e g , personnel
equipment) was allocated based on discussions with the City's Finance Department
The new personnel are not required to contribute to basic equipment issued, and it is the
City's current policy to capitalize those costs greater than $1,000. This equipment is
mission - essential and is listed on Table 5 -2
b The City maintains a fleet of emergency vehicles, equipment, and facilities to support
existing and future fire rescue services Table 5 -3 provides the existing inventory of
such resources in current dollars to denve the "buy -in" or "recoupment" cost per rescue
personnel Since such capital assets along with future assets required will support the
total population and staffing base in 2020 The capital costs associated with existing
assets are allocated against the total planned rescue personnel of 47
c The City addressed its needs based on future demand for vehicles, equipment, and
facilities Table 5 -4 itemizes the planned improvements and purchases to maintain the
service standards discussed earlier Specifically, the City plans to construct, staff, and
K \DM \1179 -0 I\ ReportsTml \Report 5 -5
equip a new fire station, Number 4 Table 5 -4 lists the equipment and vehicle needs
associated with Station No 4 The City also plans to construct a headquarters facility
at an estimated cost of $850,000 A total of $2,807,333 in planned purchases,
expansions, and improvements is anticipated through 2020
3 The estimated capital base costs or reserved service capacity, allocable to all customer
classes were allocated between the residential and non - residential customer classes based
on "functional population" estimates The concept of functional population is incorporated
in order to spread capital costs more equitably between residential and non - residential land -
uses Businesses place demands on fire rescue services in exactly the same manner as
residents do, and it is equitable to spread these costs based on the average number of
people expected to be prcscnt For the residential uses, the allocation is calculated per
resident based on the average amount of time spent at the residence The resident's
remaining time is then allocated as either an employee and /or visitor to the remaining non-
residential classes is determined using traffic generations, estimated employment data, and
operational details The net result is the total number of person hours per location The
base costs arc calculated on a per person basis and then applied to the residential and non-
residential land -uses based upon the respective functional population coefficient
4 The estimated variable cost of providing fire rescue services was allocated between the
residential and non - residential customer classifications based on the estimated number of
service calls made by the Fire Department per land -use for 2004 and is projected through
2020 The determination of the fire service calls to the customer classifications was
performed using two parameters With respect to those service call responses directly
allocable to a particular class of customers (e g , residential) based on information
compiled by the Fire Department as reported in the National Fire Incident Reporting
System (NFIRS) reports, such amounts were directly assigned to such classes The
remaining service calls dealt primanly with emergency medical responses and other
requirements Table 5 -6 summarizes the calls as follows
Total Residential Non - Residential
Total Direct Service Calls 6,418 3,952 2,466
Percent of Total 61 57% 38 43%
Impact Fee Calculation
Based on the above - referenced assumptions, the allocated capital facilities considered necessary
to maintain the level of service requirements, and the population and land use projections of the
City, the fire rescue services impact fees for the residential and non - residential customer
classifications were estimated As shown in Table 5 -7 at the end of this section, the cost per
equivalent impact fee unit by customer classification was calculated The following summanzes
the proposed changes to the residential fire rescue impact fees
K \DM \I 179 -0IUtcports\Finai\Rcport 5 -6
Existing Proposed
Single -Family per Dwelling Unit [ *] $194 - $321
Multi- Family per Dwelling Unit 207 274
[ *] Includes mobile homes
Taking into account the methodology used for the determination of the fec and the estimates
associated with determining the fire rescue capital needs of the City, it is concluded that the
proposed impact fee utilizing the City's LOS standard arc reasonable It should be noted that in
the development of the fee per equivalent impact fec unit, no credits associated with developer
land dedication or similar activities have been recognized
In the development of the cost per equivalent impact fee unit, it was determined that the rate
should be applied on a "per dwelling unit" basis for the residential class and pnmanly on a "per
square footage" of commercial development for the non - residential class As shown in Table 5-
7, some non - residential land -uses are measured by units other than square feet These factors are
common throughout the state as the equivalent impact fee unit for fee determination The use of
these equivalency factors was based on discussions with thc City, comparisons of fee
applicability provisions of neighbonngJunsdictions, and promotion of administrative simplicity
IMPACT FEE COMPARISONS
In order to provide the City additional information about the proposed impact fees, a companson
of the proposed fees for the City and those charged by other neighboring jurisdictions was
prepared Table 5 -8 at the end of this section summarizes the impact fees for fire protection
services charged by other communities with the proposed rates of the City
Also, as shown in Table 5 -8 for other communities, the fees charged to the residential class are
applied using a "per dwelling unit" basis, which is consistent with the recommended fee
applicability provisions of the City's proposed fees For thc non - residential class and, as
previously discussed, the fees are applied on the basis of the amount of square foot of facility
development

PARKS AND RECREATION IMPACT FEE
GENERAL
This section provides a discussion of the development and design of the proposed impact fee for
recreational services Included in this section is a discussion of the City's adopted level of
service (LOS) standards, facility requirements, and related capital costs included as the basis for
the fee determination, and the design of the fee to be applied to new growth within the City
DEFINITION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
The Department of Natural Resources ( "DNR ") has identified seven classifications or categones
of parks The seven classifications are i) equipped play area and tot lot, ii) neighborhood park,
iii) community park, iv) urban open space, v) urban - distnct park, vi) regional park, and
vu) beach access site There are specific site guidelines for the recreational classifications that
are basically directed towards size, accessibility, and population requirements Urban - District
parks, regional parks, and beach access sites arc not normally applicable to every City As
illustrated in the summary of existing City-owned and operated parks, Table 6 -1, the City
maintains an extensive inventory of recreational facilities and activities The following is a
discussion of the site guidelines as identified by the DNR
• Equipped Play Area and Tot Lot — These recreational areas generally consist of open areas
with play apparatus for school age or preschool children. Usually, these areas range in size
from 1/4 to one acre and serve neighborhoods of between 500 and 2,500 people
Recommended facilities include playground equipment, benches and picnic tables,
landscaping and open space
• Neighborhood Park — These recreational areas generally consist of a vanety of facilities
designed for the specific needs of the neighborhood This park is usually considered as a
"walk -to" park where access is directed towards the local residents of the neighborhood
The park is usually designed to serve a radius of up to 1/2 mile and has a size ranging from
five to ten acres (i c , approximately two acres per 1,000 people) Recommended facilities
include playground equipment, recreational buildings, multipurpose courts, sports fields,
picnic areas, and open space
• Community Park — These recreational areas are considered as "ride -to" parks and are
typically located on major collector or arterial streets This type of park is designed to
serve the needs of four to six neighborhoods or generally a radius of up to three miles It is
recommended that this type of park be a minimum of twenty acres based on a minimum
standard of two acres per 1,000 population. Just as the neighborhood park is designed to
serve the needs of the neighborhood, a community park is designed to meet the needs of
the surrounding community Recommended facilities may include swimming pools, ball
fields, tennis courts, playground equipment, multipurpose courts, recreation buildings,
sports fields, and other associated equipment Also, the park should include allowances for
K \DM \1179- OI\Reports\rmaKRepon 6 -1
open space, adequate parking, and landscaping The facilities included in the
neighborhood park may also be included in a community park
• Urban Open Space — These areas arc landscaped or natural open areas usually located
within built -up areas and may serve a variety of population sizes based on the size of the
open space The principal function of these areas is to provide a buffer to congested
environments Facilities for this type of park may include benches, commemorative
structures, trails, and paths
The foregoing recreational facilities may also be classified into two categones resource -based
and activity-based Resource -based sites and facilities are defined as those centered around
particular natural resources These sites provide opportunities for activities such as picnics,
hiking, water sports, fishing or just explonng nature Activity-based recreational sites and
facilities are defined as those developed for the enjoyment of particular commercial or non-
commercial activities These sites include facilities for basketball, baseball, football, soccer,
golf, amusement parks, arcades, water parks, and community or senior citizen centers
As descnbed above, the two types of public recreational areas that appear to best meet the
recreational open space needs of the City ire the neighborhood park and community park Due
to the size of the City, these recreational areas appear to satisfy the major recreational
requirements of the City since there is easy access and all of the types of facilities that may be
required by the population are either currently provided or planned Additionally, the City
provides an array of public recreational activities for its residents These public activities arc
mainly in the form of picnic areas, exercise trails, and vanous athletic fields The City's existing
public recreational activities provide diverse recreational opportunities for all residents
LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS
As outlined in the Recreation and Open Space Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the
City has adopted level of service standards for recreational facilities and activities With respect
to open space, the City has adopted a recreational open -space LOS standard of ten (10) acres per
1,000 residents in total The City's targeted facilities include five (5) acres per 1,000 of
Neighborhood/Tot Lots and fifteen (15) acres per -1,000 of Community Parks For impact fee
development, only the total acreage standard of ten (10) acres per 1,000 residents will be
summarized into the fee The City currently owns and maintains an inventory of parks A
summary of the City-owned and - operated parks (existing and under development) is
summanzed on Table 6 -1 The City's current inventory includes 131 9 acres Neighborhood
Parks/Tot Lots (7 9 acres), Comm unity Parks (102 5 acres), Special Facilities (20 5 acres), and
General Open Space (1 0 acres) As shown in Table 6 -2 and based on the estimated population
of 20,017 residents in 2005, the City has an existing level of service for_ total open space of
approximately 6 6 acres per 1,000 population, which results in the City having an existing
deficiency as follows
K \I)M \1179 -0 I\Rcports\Final \Rcpon 6 -2
Existing Population 20,017
Open Space LOS 10 0 acres per 1,000 population
Required Acres 200 17 acres
Current City inventory 131 90 acres
Surplus/(Deficiency) (68.27) acres
As can be seen below and in Table 6 -3, as the City continues to develop through 2020, it will
continue to incur an inventory deficit of approximately 224 68 acres
Projected Population 2020 35,658
Open Space LOS 10 acres per 1,000 population
Required Acres 356 58 acres
Current City Inventory 131 90 acres
Surplus /(Deficiency) (224.68) acres
The deficiency at 2020 shown above includes a current service deficit that is neither recoverable
from nor assignable to future growth The current deficiency of 68 27 acres is not included in
the impact fee calculations Therefore, only 156 41 acres are included in the proposed impact fee
and is calculated as follows
Open Space Requirement 2020 356 58 acres
Less Open Space Requirement 2005 200 17 acres
Total Open Space Allocable to Growth 156.41 acres
In addition to open space parkland, the City provides its residents with a number of recreational
activities, both passive and active activities The City has adopted service standards for each
activity as illustrated in Tables 6 -4 and 6 -5 These tables summarize the City's existing and
future surpluses and/or deficiencies in service activities based upon the adopted standards Such
activities include, but are not limited to, the following
• Tennis Courts
• Baseball/Softball Fields
• Racquetball Courts
• Basketball Courts
• Multipurpose Fields
Table 3 -6 presents the activity requirements allocated to future growth based upon the City's
adopted activity standards.
Lastly, the City has addressed an additional capital need which will serve the entire population
through 2020 The City is in the design phase of constructing a new community center Since
the facility will be considered a Special Use Facility, the land itself, which is already purchased,
K \DM \I 179 -0 I Vtcports \Final\Report 6 -3
is included in the parks inventory, Table 6 -1, discussed previously The City anticipates
construction costs of approximately $6 million to be allocated over all residents within the
forecast penod It is estimated that the City's population will be approximately 35,658 residents
in 2020 (an increase of 15,641 residents), therefore, forty-four percent (44 %) of the total costs
are allocable to the new residents
DESIGN OF RECREATIONAL FACILITY IMPACT FEE
The method used to determine the impact fee is the standards -dnven method This method
which was used to determine the recreational facilities component of the recreation impact fee
was based upon an allocation process to assign costs between existing and future residents
Tables 6 -6 and 6 -7 at the end of this section summanzes the results of the approach The
following is a brief description of the method used in this study
• Development of Total Capital Need — Based on the City's estimated capital costs of
developing existing and future park facilities, population projections, and recommended
LOS requirements, the total estimated cost to serve new residents is developed and then is
allocated to the projected population conditions
• Development of Equivalent Impact Fee Units — This step develops the estimated number of
equivalent impact fee units, which the fee is to be calculated such that a specific rate can be
developed This municipal service is applicable only to the residential class and the
equivalent unit is considered to be one (1) resident (per resident application)
• Calculation of Cost per Development — Once the total capital costs allocable to the future
growth of the City and the per equivalent impact fee units were estimated, the cost per
development unit was calculated, or the impact fee unit per dwelling (residence)
Recreational Facility Impact Fee Assumptions
In the development of the recreation impact fees, several assumptions were required The major
assumptions used in the development of the impact fees are as follows
1 The development of the cost for the recreation facilities impact fees was based on the
City's current inventory of parks and recreational activities, the recommended service
standards for recreational facilities and activities, and the City's estimated capital costs to
develop future facilities and activities
2 As indicated in Table 6 -7, the City has identified future needs totaling $16,688,339 The
total capital costs were determined using the standards - dnvcn method Other funding
sources (grants and contributions) are estimated at twenty-five percent (25 %) of total costs
reducing such burden by $4,172,085
Impact Fee Calculation
Based on the above - referenced assumptions, the recreation impact fee as set forth in detail on
Table 6 -7 was determined as follows
K \DM\I 179-0 I\Repons\Final\Report 6-4
Total Costs Allocated to Growth $16,688,339
Less Other Funding Sources (25 %) (4,172,085)
Total Capital Cost Net of Contributions $12,516,254
Projected Population Growth to 2020 15,641
Proposed Rate per Person $800.22
The proposed rate per person is applied to the residential classes (single - family, multi - family,
and mobile homes) based on the number of residents per dwelling unit A detailed comparison
of proposed and existing impact fees by residential class and unit design is presented in
Table 6 -8
IMPACT FEE COMPARISONS
In order to provide the City additional information about the proposed impact fees, a companson
of the proposed fees for the City and those charged by other ,lunsdictions was prepared
Table 6 -9 at the end of this section summanzes the impact fees for recreational services charged
by other communities with the proposed rates of the City Please note that each community may
establish a different LOS standard to meet its demographic needs for recreation facilities and
activities The City can anticipate variances between other communities.
