RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the Fiscal Year 2016/17 Park Impact & Park Dedication Fee Annual Report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No General Fund impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Park Impact Fee Ordinance (Ordinance No 2007-17) requires an annual report within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year be made available to the public and reviewed by the Board of Supervisors at a regularly scheduled meeting. The report shall contain the following information for the fiscal year:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

1. A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund,
2. The amount of the fee,
3. The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund,
4. The amount of the fees collected and the interest earned,
5. An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditure on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with the fees,
6. An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the Board determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement, and the public improvement remains incomplete,
7. A description of each interfund transfer or loan from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan, and
8. The amount of refunds made pursuant to Government Code section 66001(e) and any allocations pursuant to Government Code section 66001 (f).

The Annual Report is only required for Park Impact fees. However, given Park Impact fees and Park Dedication fees both originate as developer fees and are spent on park facilities, the Annual Report includes both types of fees.

Park Impact Fees are required for any new residential project including new subdivisions. Subdivisions may also be required to pay Park Dedication Fee. However, if a project is required to pay Park Dedication Fees, it will be credited towards the required Park Impact Fee. The fees are not additive.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the action is not approved, there will be no Park Impact/Park Dedication Annual Report for FY 16/17.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Park Impact and Park Dedication fee projects support the following outcomes established in the Children's Report Card:
1) Children and youth are healthy and preparing for a production adulthood; 2) Families are safe, stable and nurturing; 3) Communities are safe and provide a high quality of life for children and families
