Title
Chief Administrative Office recommending the Board to order the Auditor-Controller to disburse $417,982.80 to the El Dorado Hills County Water District from its Development Impact Mitigation Fee account for new and replacement apparatus, vehicles, equipment, and facility costs associated with growth within the District.
FUNDING: Development Impact Fees.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The California Mitigation Fee Act (Cal. Gov. § 66000 et seq.) provides for the establishment of fees to mitigate the impacts of new development on public facilities, thereby maintaining the established level of service. Individual Special Districts do not have the authority to establish these fees; therefore, the County establishes fees on behalf of the districts. In accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act, these revenues are segregated and deposited into a separate account for each district.
Each request is necessary to expand services in response to the demand created by new developments. The District’s request, along with the link to a reasonable relationship with their Nexus Study, is attached. In accordance with the District's impact fee nexus study, new apparatus, vehicles, equipment, and facilities may be funded entirely by impact fees, and replacement apparatus, vehicles, equipment, and facilities may be partially financed by impact fees, at a rate of 26.5%.
