I. POLICY PURPOSE
The Debt Management and Disclosure Policy (the “Debt Policy”) is to organize and formalize debt issuance and management related policies and procedures for the City of Eastvale the Eastvale Parking Authority, and Eastvale Public Financing Authority, and any other entity for which the City Council acts as legislative body, and the term “City” shall refer to each of such entities.

Additionally, these policies apply to debt issued by a Covered Entity on behalf of assessment, community facilities, or other special districts. Regarding disclosure, the purpose of this policy is to memorialize and communicate the policies and procedures in connection with obligations, including notes, bonds and certificates of participation, issued by the City of Eastvale (the “City”) to ensure that the City continues to comply with all applicable disclosure obligations and requirements under the federal securities laws. The debt policies and procedures of the City are subject to and limited by applicable provisions of state and federal law and to prudent debt management principles. When used in this Debt Policy, “debt” refers to all indebtedness and financing lease obligations.

II. DEBT AND DISCLOSURE POLICY OBJECTIVE
This Debt Policy is intended to comply with Government Code Section 8855(i), effective on January 1, 2017.

The City hereby recognizes that a fiscally prudent debt policy is required in order to:
 Maintain the City’s sound financial position.
 Ensure the City has flexibility to respond to changes in future services priorities, revenue levels, and operating expenses by prioritizing pay-as-you-go financing.  Ensure that the City’s’ debt is consistent with their planning goals and objectives and capital improvement program or budget, as applicable.
 Ensure that all debt is structured in order to protect both current and future taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents of the City.
 Minimize debt service commitments through effective planning and cash management; and
 Ensure the City is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws; and  Achieve Obtain the highest practical credit ratings and good investor relations.  Ensure the City is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws; and III. SCOPE AND DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
This Debt Policy will govern the issuance and management of all debt issued by the City, including the selection and management of related financial and advisory services and products, and the investment of bond proceeds, except as otherwise covered by the City’s Investment Policy. 230

This Debt Policy will be reviewed and updated periodically as required. Any changes to the policy are subject to approval by the City Council at a legally noticed and conducted public meeting.

Overall policy direction of this Debt Policy will be provided by the City Council. Responsibility for implementation of the Debt Policy, and day-to-day responsibility and City for structuring, implementing, and managing the City’s debt and finance program, will lie with the Finance Director. The City Council’s adoption of the City’s Annual Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) does not, in and of itself, constitute authorization for debt issuance for any capital projects. This Debt Policy requires that the City Council specifically authorize each debt financing.

No debt obligations shall be presented to the City Council for their authorization without the joint assessment and recommendation of the City Manager and legal counsel. Departments planning debt-financed capital programs or equipment acquisitions shall work closely with the City Manager and Finance Director to provide information and otherwise to facilitate the issuance and on-going administration of debt.

While adherence to this Debt Policy is required in applicable circumstances, the City recognizes that changes in the capital markets, city programs and other unforeseen circumstances may from time to time produce situations that are not covered by the Debt Policy and will require modifications or exceptions to achieve policy goals. In these cases, management flexibility is appropriate, provided specific authorization from the City Council is obtained.

IV. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officers and employees of the City involved in the debt management program will not engage in any personal business activities that could conflict with proper and lawful execution of securing capital financing.

V. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) AND BUDGET INTEGRATION The City shall strive to fund the upkeep and maintenance of its infrastructure and facilities due to normal wear and tear through the expenditure of available operating revenues. The City shall seek to avoid the use of debt to fund infrastructure and facility improvements that are the result of normal wear and tear.

The City shall integrate its debt issuances with the goals of its capital improvement program by timing the issuance of debt to ensure that projects are available when needed in furtherance of the City’s public purposes. As a result, all CIP related debt shall be incorporated into the five-year Capital Improvement Plan and align with the City Council’s strategic plan priorities.

The City shall seek to avoid the use of debt to fund infrastructure and facilities improvements in circumstances when the sole purpose of such debt financing is to reduce annual budgetary expenditures.

The City shall seek to issue debt in a timely manner to avoid having to make unplanned expenditures for capital improvements or equipment from its general fund. 231

VI. INTEGRATION OF PLANNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City is committed to long-term financial planning, maintaining appropriate reserve levels, and employing prudent practices in governance, management, and budget administration. The City shall only issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Policy. The City shall also integrate strategic plan priorities related to debt issuance within the City’s annual operations budget.

VII. DEBT CONSIDERATIONS
The City prefers to fund projects on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City’s debt management program will consider debt issuance only in those cases where public policy, equity, and economic efficiency favor financing over cash pay-as-you-go financing.

1. Factors favoring a pay-as-you-go methodology include:
a. Current projected revenues, fund balances available are sufficient to fund the project and fund liabilities are manageable.
b. Long-term total costs are lower due to the avoidance of interest expense. c. Existing debt levels adversely affect the City’s credit rating. d. Market conditions are unfavorable or present difficulties in marketing.

2. Factors favoring debt financing include:
a. Current and projected revenues available for debt service are sufficient and reliable so that financings can be marketed with investment grade credit ratings. b. Market conditions present favorable interest rates leading to efficient financial resource allocation and demand for the City financings. c. A project is mandated by state or federal requirements, and current resources are insufficient or unavailable to fully fund the project.
d. The project is immediately required to meet or relieve capacity needs or emergency conditions and current resources are insufficient or unavailable.

VIII. STANDARDS FOR USE OF DEBT FINANCING
The City prefers to fund projects on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City’s debt management program will consider debt issuance only in those cases where public policy, equity, and economic efficiency favor financing over pay-as-you-go financing.

Debt may be incurred to provide funding for long-term capital projects. The debt repayment period should relate to the expected useful life of the facilities or equipment being financed and should coincide with the stream of benefits provided by the projects being financed. When the City finances capital projects by incurring debt, the debt repayment period should be structured so that the weighted average maturity of the debt does not exceed the expected average useful 232

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject
Debt Management and Disclosure Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 4 of 19 ends

life of the project being financed. Inherent in its long-term debt policies, the City recognizes that future taxpayers will benefit from the capital investment and that it is appropriate that they pay a share of the asset cost. Long-term debt financing shall not be used to fund operating costs.

Operating expenditures may only be funded through short-term debt.

IX. DEBT CAPACITY
The City will carefully monitor its levels of general-purpose debt. Because a General Law City’s general purpose debt capacity is limited, it is important that the City only use general purpose debt financing for high-priority projects where other financing methods cannot be reasonably used for two key reasons:

1. Funds borrowed for a project today are not available to fund other projects tomorrow.

2. Funds committed for debt repayment today are not available to fund operations in the future.

In evaluating debt capacity, general-purpose annual debt service payments should generally not exceed 10% of General Operating revenues, which consist of the General Fund and the Structural Fire Fund; and in no case should they exceed 15%. Further, direct debt will not exceed 2% of assessed valuation; and no more than 60% of capital improvement outlays will be funded from long-term financings.

X. DEBT TERM
The City recognizes that any new debt obligation will have an impact on the long-term affordability of all outstanding debt and any future planned debt, as well as budgetary impacts associated with the maintenance and operating costs of debt-financed facilities.

1. Term of Debt: Debt will be structured for the shortest period possible, consistent with a fair allocation of costs to current and future beneficiaries or users. Debt shall not be issued for a term that exceeds the useful life of the debt-financed asset.

2. Debt Repayment: Typically, the City desires level debt service payments over the term of the debt. However, the cost of capital, financial risk, current economic conditions, future financial flexibility, credit ratings and available cash flow will be evaluated to determine the most appropriate method of debt amortization for each debt issue. Notwithstanding the above, back loading the debt service will be evaluated as the circumstances dictate.

Back loading occurs when debt service payments are lower in the initial years of a debt term and higher toward the later years of a debt term.

XI. DEBT ISSUANCE
The City has the capacity to issue long- and short-term debt and to refund any outstanding debt.

When the City determines the use of debt is appropriate, the following criteria will be utilized to evaluate the type of debt to be issued.

A. Long-term Debt: Long-term debt financing will be used, when funding requirements 233

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject
Debt Management and Disclosure Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 5 of 19 ends

cannot be met with current revenues or cash reserves, to finance eligible capital projects including the acquisition, construction, or major rehabilitation of capital facilities. Long- term debt may be used to fund capitalized interest, cost of issuance, required reserves and any other financing related costs that may be legally capitalized. The proceeds derived from long-term borrowing shall not be used to fund recurring City operating expenditures.

B. Short-term Debt: Short-term debt will be considered as an interim source of funding in anticipation of long-term debt. Short term debt may be issued for any purpose for which long-term debt may be issued, including capitalized interest and financing-related costs.

Short-term debt is also appropriate to address legitimate short-term cash flow requirements during a given fiscal year to fund the operating costs of the City to provide necessary public services. The City will not engage in short-term borrowing solely for the purpose of generating investment income.

C. Refunding: Refunding opportunities will be identified by periodic reviews of outstanding debt obligations. Refunding will be considered when there is a net economic benefit from the refunding. Non-economic refunding may be undertaken to achieve City objectives relating to changes in covenants, call provisions, operational flexibility, tax status, issuer, or other non-economic factors related to the debt.

D. Private Placement: The City may determine that private placement of debt is most appropriate. Use of private placement will be considered collectively by the City Manager and Finance Director.

E. Pooled Financing: The City may also consider use of pooled financing as a method of accessing the capital markets. Use of pooled financing will be evaluated collectively by the City Manager and Finance Director on a case-by-case basis.

Other Debt: There may be special circumstances when other forms of debt are appropriate; these will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

XII. DEBT STRUCTURE
A. Credit Ratings: It is a policy goal of the City to protect taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents by utilizing conservative financing methods and techniques so as to obtain the highest practical credit ratings (although not all debt with be rated) and the lowest practical borrowing costs. The City will seek to maintain the appropriate balance between high credit ratings and operational flexibility. In those cases where debt will be rated, the City will seek credit ratings from at least one of the three major ratings agencies. Ratings from multiple rating agencies may be sought for a single debt issue, based upon market expectations and conditions at the time of the issuance.

B. Capitalized Interest: The nature of the City’s revenue stream is such that funds are generally continuously available and the use of capitalized interest should not normally be necessary. However, certain types of financings may require the use of capitalized 234

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject
Debt Management and Disclosure Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 6 of 19 ends

interest from the issuance date until the City has constructive use/benefit of the financed project. Unless otherwise required, the City will avoid the use of capitalized interest to avoid unnecessarily increasing the bond size. Interest will not be funded (capitalized) beyond three (3) years or a shorter period if further restricted by statute.

C. Fixed-rate and Variable-rate Debt: The City prefers to issue fixed-rate debt. Variable-rate debt may be used, if market conditions warrant at the time of issuance. It is acknowledged that variable-rate debt passes an unknown obligation onto future budget cycles.

D. Derivatives: Derivative products may have application with regard to certain borrowing programs. The City Manager and Finance Director will evaluate the use of derivative products on a case-by-case basis.

E. Call Provisions: The timing for when bonds are callable varies and is determined at the time of pricing such bonds. The City’s preferred structure is to negotiate for optional redemption at par in order to maintain flexibility in the future. Call provisions shall generally be analyzed on a cost-benefit basis to ensure the call premium does not exceed the realized savings.

F. Original Issue Discount: An original issue discount will be permitted only if the City determines that such discount results in a lower true interest cost on the debt and that the use of an original issue discount will not adversely affect the project identified by the legal documents related to the debt.

G. Credit Enhancements: The City may use credit enhancements (letters of credit, bond insurance, surety bonds, etc.) when such credit enhancements prove to be cost-effective.

The City will consider the use of credit enhancements on a case-by-case basis.

XIII. TYPES OF DEBT
For purposes of this Debt Policy, “debt” shall be interpreted broadly to mean bonds, notes, certificates of participation, financing leases, or other financing obligations, but the use of such term in this Debt Policy shall be solely for convenience and shall not be interpreted to characterize any such obligation as an indebtedness or debt within the meaning of any statutory or constitutional debt limitation where the substance and terms of the obligation comport with exceptions thereto.

The following types of debt are allowable under this Debt Policy:
 General obligation bonds
 Bond or grant anticipation notes
 Lease revenue bonds, certificates of participation and lease-purchase transactions  Other revenue bonds and certificates of participation  Tax and revenue anticipation notes
235

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27

Page 7 of 19 ends

 Land-secured financings, such as special tax revenue bonds issued under the Mello- Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, and limited obligation bonds issued under applicable assessment statutes
 Tax increment financing to the extent permitted under state law  Conduit financings, such as financings for affordable rental housing and qualified 501c3 organizations
 Pension Obligation Bonds
The City may from time to time find that other forms of debt would be beneficial to further its public purposes and may approve such debt without an amendment of this Debt Policy.

XIV. CREDIT ENHANCEMENTS
The City will consider the use of credit enhancement on a case-by-case basis, evaluating the economic benefit versus cost for each case. Only when a clearly demonstrable savings can be shown will enhancement be considered. The City will consider each of the following enhancements by evaluating the cost and benefit of such enhancement.

A. Bond Insurance: The City may purchase bond insurance when such purchase is deemed prudent and advantageous. The predominant determination will be based on such insurance being less costly than the present value of the difference in the interest on insured bonds versus uninsured bonds.

B. Debt Service Reserve Surety Bond: When required, a reserve fund will be funded from the proceeds of each series of bonds, subject to federal tax regulations and in accordance with the requirements of credit enhancement providers and/or rating agencies. The City may purchase reserve equivalents (i.e., the use of a reserve fund surety) when such purchase is deemed prudent and advantageous. Such equivalents will be evaluated in comparison to cash funding of reserves on a net present value basis.

C. Letter of Credit: The City may enter into a letter-of-credit agreement when such an agreement is deemed prudent and advantageous. Letters of credit will generally be provided only by those financial institutions with long-term ratings greater than or equal to that of the City, and short-term ratings in the highest category.

XV. REFINANCING OUTSTANDING DEBT
The City will continually evaluate outstanding bond issues for refunding opportunities. The City will consider the following issues when evaluating possible refunding opportunities:

A. Debt Service Savings: The City has established a minimum savings threshold goal of three (3%) percent of the refunded bond principal amount unless there are other compelling reasons for defeasance. The present value savings will be net of all costs related to the refinancing.
236

B. Restructuring: The City will refund debt as opportunities are identified. Refundings will include restructuring for purposes of meeting unanticipated revenue expectations, termination of swaps, achieving cost savings, mitigating irregular debt service payments, releasing reserve funds or removing unduly restrictive bond covenants.

C. Term of Refunding Issues: The City will generally refund bonds within the term of the originally issued debt. However, the City may consider maturity extension, when necessary to achieve a desired outcome, provided that such extension is legally permissible. The City may also consider shortening the term of the originally issued debt to realize greater savings. The remaining useful life of the financed asset and the concept of inter-generational equity will be given due consideration in formulating these decisions.

D. Escrow Structuring: The City will utilize the least costly securities available in structuring refunding escrows. A certificate from a third party agent, who is not a broker-dealer, is required stating that the securities were procured through an arms-length, competitive bid process (in the case of open market securities), that such securities were more cost effective than State and Local Government Obligations (SLGS), and that the price paid for the securities was reasonable within federal guidelines. Under no circumstances will an underwriter, agent or financial advisor sell escrow securities to the City from its own account.

E. Arbitrage: The City will take all necessary steps to optimize escrows and to avoid negative arbitrage in its refundings. Any resulting positive arbitrage will be rebated as necessary according to federal guidelines.

XVI. METHODS OF ISSUANCE
The City will strive to sell its bonds competitively but will pursue negotiated sales when conditions warrant.

A. Competitive Sale: In a competitive sale, the City’s bonds will be awarded to the bidder providing the lowest true interest cost as long as the bid adheres to the requirements set forth in the official notice of sale. Conditions under which a competitive sale would be preferred are as follows:
 Bond prices are stable and/or demand is strong
 Market timing and interest rate sensitivity are not critical to the pricing  There are no complex explanations required during marketing regarding the City’s projects, media coverage, political structure, political support, funding or credit quality
 The bond type and structure are conventional
 Bond insurance is included or pre-qualified (available) 237

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy

Page 9 of 19 ends

 Manageable transaction size
 The bonds carry strong credit ratings
 Issuer is well known to investors
B. Negotiated Sale: The City recognizes that some securities are best sold through negotiation under the following conditions:
 Bond prices are volatile
 Demand is weak or supply of competing bonds is high
 Market timing is important, such as for refundings
 The Bonds will carry lower credit ratings or are not rated  Issuer is not well known to investors
 The bond type and/or structural features are unusual, such as for a forward delivery bond sale, issuance of variable rate bonds, or where there is the use of derivative products
 Bond insurance is not available
 Early structuring and market participation by underwriters are desired  The par amount for the transaction is significantly larger than normal  Demand for the bonds by retail investors is expected to be high C. Private Placement: The City may elect to privately place its debt under certain conditions.

Such placement will only be considered where a cost savings can be achieved by the City relative to other methods of debt issuance, or to enable the financing to be completed within a shorter timeframe.

D. Feasibility Analysis: Issuance of revenue bonds will be accompanied by a finding that demonstrates the projected revenue stream's ability to meet future debt service payments.

XVII. INTERFUND BORROWING
The City may borrow internally from other funds with temporary cash surpluses to meet short- term cash needs in lieu of issuing debt. The fund(s) from which the money is borrowed shall be repaid with interest at the average earnings rate of the City investment pool. Interfund borrowing extending for more than one year will be brought to Council for approval via resolution and shall include an amortization schedule.

XVIII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
It is the policy of the City to ensure that proceeds of debt are spent only on lawful and intended 238

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject
Debt Management and Disclosure Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 10 of 19 ends

uses. Whenever reasonably possible, proceeds of debt will be held by a third-party trustee and the City will submit written requisitions for such proceeds. The City will submit a requisition only after obtaining the signature of the City Manager. The Finance Director shall ensure that records of all expenditures of proceeds will be retained through the final payment date for the debt.

XIX. MARKET RELATIONSHIPS
A. Responsibilities: The Finance Director shall be responsible for administering the City’s debt management program. To that end, this position shall:
a. Comply with all reporting requirements within the bond documents b. Review all outstanding debt for refunding opportunities c. Maintain positive working relationships with rating agencies and other financial professionals
d. Review and recommend appropriate structures for all new debt issuances. e. Ensure compliance with the Investment Policy and bond documents regarding investing bond proceeds.

B. Rating Agencies and Investors: The Finance Director will be responsible for maintaining the City’s relationships with Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch. The City may, from time-to-time, choose to deal with only one or two of these agencies as circumstances dictate. In addition to general communication, the Finance Director may: (1) meet with credit analysts at least once each fiscal year, or (2) prior to each competitive or negotiated sale, offer conference calls with agency analysts in connection with the planned sale.

C. Continuing Disclosure: The City will remain in compliance with Rule 15c2-12.

Additional information regarding initial and continuing disclosure policies and procedures can be found below in the section regarding Disclosure Policy.

D. Arbitrage Rebate: The City will comply with the administratively adopted policies and procedures regarding tax-exempt financings and tax-exempt financed property, as well as the tax and arbitrage certifications associated with each issue.

Other Jurisdictions: From time to time, the City may issue bonds on behalf of other public entities. While the City will make every effort to facilitate the desires of these entities, the Finance Director will ensure that the City is insulated from all risks. The City will require that all conduit financings achieve a rating at least equal to the City’s ratings or that credit enhancement is obtained. The City will charge an administrative fee equal to direct costs to reimburse its administrative costs incurred in debt issuance and ongoing reporting costs.

XX. CONSULTANTS AND UNDERWRITER
All consultants will be procured in accordance with the City’s municipal code. 239

A. Selection of Financing Team Members: The Finance Director will make recommendations for all financing team members, with the City Council providing final approval.

B. Financial Advisor: The City will utilize a financial advisor to assist in its debt issuance and debt administration processes as prudent.

Financial advisory services provided to the City will include, but will not be limited to the following:
 Evaluation of risks and opportunities associated with debt issuance  Monitoring market opportunities

 Advice, assistance and preparation for presentations with rating agencies and investors
 Assisting in review of all legal documents related to the City’s bond issues The City also expects that its financial advisor will provide the City with objective advice and analysis, maintain the confidentiality of City financial plans, and be free from any conflicts of interest.

C. Bond Counsel: City debt will include a written opinion by legal counsel affirming that the City is authorized to issue the proposed debt, that the City has met all constitutional and statutory requirements necessary for issuance, and a determination of the proposed debt’s federal income tax status. The approving opinion and other documents relating to the issuance of debt will be prepared by counsel with extensive experience in public finance and tax issues.

The services of bond counsel may include, but are not limited to:
 Rendering a legal opinion with respect to authorization and valid issuance of debt obligations including whether the interest paid on the debt is tax exempt under federal and State of California law;

agencies, if requested; and
 Providing continuing advice, as requested, on the proper use and administration of bond proceeds under applicable laws and the bond documents.

XXI. UNDERWRITER SELECTION
A. Underwriter Selection: The City will have the right to select a senior manager for a proposed negotiated sale, as well as co-managers and selling group members, as appropriate.

B. Underwriter’s Counsel: In any negotiated sale of City debt in which legal counsel is required to represent the underwriter, the lead underwriter will make the appointment, subject to approval by the City.

C. Underwriter’s Discount: The City will evaluate the proposed underwriter’s discount against comparable issues in the market. If there are multiple underwriters in the transaction, the City will determine the allocation of fees with respect to any management fee. The determination will be based upon participation in the structuring phase of the transaction.
a. All fees and allocation of the management fee will be determined prior to the sale date; a cap on management fee, expenses and underwriter’s counsel will be established and communicated to all parties by the City. The senior manager will submit an itemized list of expenses charged to members of the underwriting group. Any additional expenses must be substantiated.

D. Conflict of Interest Disclosure by Financing Team Members: All financing team members will be required to provide full and complete disclosure, relative to agreements with other financing team members and outside parties. The extent of disclosure may vary depending on the nature of the transaction. However, in general terms, no agreements will be permitted which could compromise the firm’s ability to provide independent advice that is solely in the City’s interests or which could reasonably be perceived as a conflict of interest.

XXII. DISCLOSURE
The City occasionally issues certificates of participation, assessment bonds, notes or other obligations (collectively, “Obligations”) in order to fund or refund capital investments, or other long-term programs. In offering Obligations to the public, and at other times when the City makes certain reports, the City must comply with the “anti-fraud rules” of federal securities laws (the “anti-fraud rules” includes Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. § 77a, et seq.] and Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C.A. § 78j], and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under those Acts (particularly “Rule 10b-5” under the 1934 Act at 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b–5).

The core requirement of these rules is that potential investors in Obligations must be provided 241

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject
Debt Management and Disclosure Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 13 of 19 ends

with all “material” information relating to the offered Obligations. The information provided to investors must not contain any material misstatements, and the City must not omit material information which would be necessary to provide to investors a complete and transparent description of the Obligations and the City’s financial condition.

When the City issues Obligations, the two central disclosure documents which are prepared are a preliminary official statement (“POS”) and a final official statement (“OS”; collectively with the POS, “Official Statement”). The Official Statement generally consists of (i) a description of the specific transaction including maturity dates, interest rates, redemption provisions, the specific type of financing, the leased premises (in certificate of participation financings) and other matters particular to the financing; (ii) information on the source of payment for the Obligations (discussed in the next paragraph); and (iii) various other appendices, including the City’s audited financial report, form of the proposed legal opinion, and form of continuing disclosure undertaking. Investors use the Official Statement as one of their primary resources for making informed investment decisions regarding the City’s Obligations.

The City issues Obligations payable from different sources, including the City’s General Fund. The Official Statement for a given transaction must reflect the particular source of payment. In General Fund-backed financings, the Official Statement will include a section which provides information on the financial condition of the City’s General Fund and other relevant City financial data (the “City Section”).

A. Engagement of Outside Disclosure Counsel
The City engages outside legal counsel with expertise in securities laws for advice with respect to the City’s disclosure obligations and requirements under the federal securities laws (“Disclosure Counsel”). Disclosure Counsel assists the City in preparing the Official Statement and reviews all new data and updates to the Official Statement. Throughout the process of receiving and incorporating material, Disclosure Counsel provides advice as to standards of materiality and other securities law issues. Disclosure Counsel has a confidential, attorney-client relationship with the City.

Disclosure Counsel provides a negative assurance letter to the underwriters as to the disclosure set forth in the Official Statement for each Obligation. The letter advises the underwriters that, as a matter of fact and not opinion, no information came to the attention of the attorneys working on the transaction which caused them to believe that the Official Statement as of its date and as of the date of their letter (except for any financial, statistical, economic or demographic data or forecasts, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions or expressions of opinion, and other customary exclusions), contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

When the City determines to issue Obligations, the Finance Director requests involved City Department Directors to commence preparation of the portions of the Official Statement for which they are responsible. While the general format and content of the Official Statement secured by a particular revenue source does not normally change substantially from offering to offering, except as necessary to reflect major events, the City Manager, Finance Director, and City Attorney (or their designees) are separately responsible for reviewing and preparing or updating certain portions of the Official Statement which are within their particular area of knowledge. Additionally, all participants in the disclosure process are separately responsible for reviewing the entire Official Statement.

Disclosure Counsel and the City’s Municipal Advisor assist the Finance Director and City Manager in determining the materiality of any particular item, and the development of specific language in the Official Statement. Disclosure Counsel also assists the City in the development of a “big picture” overview of the financial condition of the General Fund or particular enterprise included in the Official Statement. This overview highlights particular areas of concern. Disclosure Counsel has a confidential, attorney-client relationship with the City.

The Finance Director schedules one or more meetings or conference calls of the financing team working group (which includes City officials, the City’s municipal advisor, Bond and Disclosure Counsel, the underwriter of the Obligations, and its counsel), and new drafts of the Official Statement are circulated and discussed. During this part of the process, there is substantial contact among City Department Directors (or their designees), other members of the financing team and Disclosure Counsel, to discuss issues which may arise, determine the materiality of particular items and ascertain the prominence in which the items should be disclosed.

Before distributing a POS to potential investors, there is a formal meeting which includes City officials involved in the preparation of the POS and the underwriters and their counsel, during which the Official Statement is reviewed in its entirety, page by page or section by section, to obtain final comments and to allow the underwriters to ask questions of the City’s senior officials. This is referred to as a “due diligence” meeting.

A substantially final form of the POS is provided to the City Council and, if applicable, the Board of Directors of the Eastvale Public Financing Authority (the “Authority”) in advance of approval to afford the City Council an opportunity to review the POS, ask questions and make comments. The substantially final form of the POS is approved by the City Council which generally authorizes certain senior staff to make additional corrections, changes and updates to the POS in consultation with the City Attorney and Disclosure Counsel.

At the time the POS is posted for review by potential investors, senior City officials execute certificates deeming certain portions of the POS complete (except for certain pricing terms) as required by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c2-12. 243

Between the posting of the POS for review by potential investors and delivery of the final OS to the underwriter for redelivery to actual investors in the Obligations, any changes and developments will have been incorporated into the POS, including particularly the City Section, if required. If necessary, to reflect developments following publication of the POS or OS, as applicable, supplements will be prepared and published.

In connection with the closing of the transaction, one or more senior City officials execute certificates stating that certain portions of the OS, as of the date of each OS and as of the date of closing, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the OS in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The City Attorney also provides an opinion letter for underwriters. Generally, that opinion letter will inform underwriters that information contained in the section of the OS relating to the City and its operations (or specified portions thereof) as of the date of the opinion letter did not, and as of the date of the closing, does not, contain any untrue statement of a known material fact or omitted or omits to state any known material fact necessary to make the statements within the OS, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The City Attorney does not opine to any financial, statistical, economic or demographic data or forecasts, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions or expressions of opinion, and certain other customary matters.

C. Development of Information for the Obligations
The information contained in the City Section is developed by City personnel under the direction of the Finance Director, with the assistance of the financing team. In certain circumstances, additional City officials will be involved, as necessary. The following principles govern the work of the respective City personnel that contribute information to the City Section:

City employees involved in the disclosure process are responsible for being familiar with federal securities laws as they relate to disclosure.

City employees involved in the disclosure process should be instructed to err on the side of raising issues when preparing or reviewing information for disclosure. Officials and other personnel are encouraged to consult with Disclosure Counsel if there are questions regarding whether an issue is material or not.

Care should be taken not to shortcut or eliminate any steps outlined in the Policy on an ad hoc basis. However, the Policy is not necessarily intended to be a rigid list of procedural requirements, but instead to provide guidelines for disclosure review. If warranted, based on experience during financings or because of additional SEC pronouncements or other reasons, the City should consider revisions to the Procedures.

The process of updating Official Statements from transaction to transaction should not be viewed as being limited to updating tables and numerical information. While it is not 244

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject
Debt Management and Disclosure Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 16 of 19 ends

anticipated that there will be major changes in the form and content of the Official Statements secured by a particular revenue source at the time of each update, everyone involved in the process should consider the need for revisions in the form, content and tone of the sections for which they are responsible at the time of each update.

The City must make sure that the particular officials involved in the disclosure process are of sufficient seniority such that it is reasonable to believe that, collectively, they are in possession of material information relating to the City and its finances.

D. Distribution of Procedures; Training
The Procedures must be provided to all senior City officials and any other member of the City staff that is involved in the City’s disclosure obligations and must also be provided to the members of the City Council and the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority.

Periodic training for the personnel involved in the preparation of the Official Statement is coordinated by the office of the Finance Director, with the assistance of Disclosure Counsel. These training sessions are provided to assist staff members involved in identifying relevant disclosure information to be included in Official Statements. The training sessions also provide an overview of federal laws relating to disclosure, situations in which disclosure rules apply, the purpose of the Official Statement, a description of previous SEC enforcement actions and a discussion of recent developments in the area of municipal disclosure. Attendees at the training sessions are provided the opportunity to ask questions of Disclosure Counsel concerning disclosure obligations and are encouraged to contact Disclosure Counsel at any time if they have questions.

E. Annual Continuing Disclosure Requirements
In connection with issuing of Obligations, the City entered into a number of agreements (“Continuing Disclosure Certificates”) to provide annual reports related to its financial condition (including its audited financial statements) as well as notice of certain events relating to the Obligations specified in the Continuing Disclosure Certificates. The City must comply with the specific requirements of each Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City’s Continuing Disclosure Certificates generally require that the annual reports be filed within nine months after the end of the City’s fiscal year, and event notices are generally required to be filed within 10 days of their occurrence.

Specific events which require “enumerated event” notices are set forth in each particular Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

The Finance Director is responsible for preparing and filing the annual reports and enumerated event notices required pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Certificates and for other secondary market disclosures as described under the caption “Secondary Market Disclosure.” Particular care must be paid to the timely filing of any changes in credit ratings on Obligations (including changes resulting from changes in the credit 245

ratings of insurers of particular Obligations).

The City Attorney or Finance Director, upon the advice of Bond and Disclosure Counsel, will provide written notice to the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority of any receipt by the City or the Authority of any default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms (only if material or may reflect financial difficulties), or other similar events (collectively, a “Potentially Reportable Event”) under any agreement or obligation to which the City is a party and which may be a “financial obligation” as discussed below. Such written notice should be provided by the City Attorney or Finance Director to the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority as soon as the City Attorney or Finance Director is provided written notice or otherwise informed by knowledgeable City personnel, consultants, or external parties of such event. The Finance Director, with the assistance of Bond and Disclosure Counsel, will determine whether notice of such Potentially Reportable Event is required to be filed on the Electronic Municipal Market Access (“EMMA”) pursuant to the disclosure requirements of SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”). If filing on EMMA is required, the filing is due within 10 business days of such Potentially Reportable Event to comply with the continuing disclosure undertaking for the various debt obligations of the City. The Finance Director will notify the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority of such events.

The City Attorney or Finance Director, upon the advice of Bond and Disclosure Counsel, will report to the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority regarding the execution by the City of any agreement or other obligation which might constitute a “financial obligation” for purposes of the Rule. Amendments to existing City agreements or obligations with “financial obligations,” which relate to covenants, events of default, remedies, priority rights, or other similar terms, should be reported to the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority as soon as the City Attorney or Finance Director is provided written notice or otherwise notified by knowledgeable City personnel, consultants, or external parties of such event. The Finance Director will determine, in consultation with the City Attorney and with the assistance of Bond and Disclosure Counsel, whether such agreement or other obligation constitutes a material “financial obligation” for purposes of the Rule. If such agreement or other obligation is determined to be a material “financial obligation” or a material amendment to a “financial obligation” described above, notice thereof would be required to be filed on EMMA within 10 business days of execution or incurrence. The types of agreements or other obligations that could constitute “financial obligations” and would need to be reported on EMMA include:
a) Bank loans or other obligations which are privately placed; b) State or federal loans;
c) Commercial paper or other short-term indebtedness for which no offering 246

document has been filed on EMMA;
d) Letters of credit, surety policies or other credit enhancement with respect to the City’s publicly offered debt;
e) Letters of credit, including letters of credit which are provided to third parties to secure the City’s obligation to pay or perform (an example of this is a standby letter of credit delivered to secure the City’s obligations for performance under a mitigation agreement);
f) Capital leases for property, facilities, fleet or equipment; and g) Agreements which guarantee the payment or performance obligations of a third party (regardless of whether the agreements constitute guarantees under California law).

Types of agreements that could be a “financial obligation” under the Rule include:
a) Payment agreements which obligate the City to pay a share of another public agency’s debt service (for example, an agreement with a joint powers agency whereby the City agrees to pay a share of the joint powers agency’s bonds, notes or other obligations); and
b) Service contracts with a public agency or a private party pursuant to which the City is obligated to pay a share of such public agency or private party’s debt service obligation (for example, certain types of Public-Private Partnership arrangements).

Types of agreements that may be a “financial obligation” subject to the Rule include:
a) Any agreement the payments under which are not characterized as an operation and maintenance expenses for accounting purposes if such agreement could be characterized as the borrowing of money;
b) The Finance Director will continue to work with the City Attorney and Bond and Disclosure Counsel to refine the definition of financial obligation going forward based on future SEC guidance.

F. Secondary Market Disclosure
On February 7, 2020, the SEC released a staff legal bulletin (the “Bulletin”) concerning secondary market disclosure in the municipal bond market. The Bulletin included SEC views on a variety of matters including, without limitation, the applicability of the federal securities law to public agency websites, reports delivered to governmental and institutional bodies and statements made by public officials including elected board members. Documents, reports and other written statements of the City which contain current financial and operational conditions of the City will be included in a section of the City’s website appropriately identified. The City and its Bond and Disclosure Counsel have 247

This Debt Policy is intended to comply with Government Code Section 8855(i), effective on January 1, 2017. This Debt Policy is applicable to all entities for which the City Council acts as legislative body, and the term “City” shall refer to each of such entities.

III. SCOPE AND DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
This Debt Policy will govern the issuance and management of all debt issued by the City, including the selection and management of related financial and advisory services and products, and the investment of bond proceeds, except as otherwise covered by the City’s Investment Policy.

This Debt Policy will be reviewed and updated periodically as required. Any changes to the policy are subject to approval by the City Council at a legally noticed and conducted public meeting.

Overall policy direction of this Debt Policy will be provided by the City Council. Responsibility for implementation of the Debt Policy, and day -to-day responsibility and City for structuring, implementing, and managing the City’s debt and finance program, will lie with the Finance Director. The City Council’s adoptio n of the City’s Annual Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) does not, in and of itself, constitute authorization for debt issuance for any capital projects. This Debt Policy requires that the City Council specifically authorize each debt financing.

No debt obligations shall be presented to the City Council for their authorization without the joint assessment and recommendation of the City Manager and legal counsel. Departments planning debt-financed capital programs or equipment acquisitions shall work closely with the City Manager and Finance Director to provide information and otherwise to facilitate the issuance and on-going administration of debt.

While adherence to this Debt Policy is required in applicable circumstances, the City recognizes that changes in the capital markets, city programs and other unforeseen circumstances may from time to time produce situations that are not covered by the Debt Policy and will require modifications or exceptions to achieve policy goals. In these cases, management flexibility is appropriate, provided specific authorization from the City Council is obtained.

IV. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officers and employees of the City involved in the debt management program will not engage in any personal business activities that could conflict with proper and lawful execution of securing capital financing.

V. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) AND BUDGET INTEGRATION The City shall strive to fund the upkeep and maintenance of its infrastructure and facilities due to normal wear and tear through the expenditure of available operating revenues. The City shall seek to avoid the use of debt to fund infrastructure and facility improvements that are the result of normal wear and tear.

The City shall integrate its debt issuances with the goals of its capital improvement program by timing the issuance of debt to ensure that projects are available when needed in furtherance of 250

Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject

Page 3 of 27 ends

the City’s public purposes. As a result, all CIP related debt shall be incorporated into the five-year Capital Improvement Plan and align with the City Council’s strategic plan priorities.

The City shall seek to avoid the use of debt to fund infrastructure and facilities improvements in circumstances when the sole purpose of such debt financing is to reduce annual budgetary expenditures.

The City shall seek to issue debt in a timely manner to avoid having to make unplanned expenditures for capital improvements or equipment from its general fund.

The City multi -year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) sets priorities for projects and funding while the Debt Policy provides policy direction and limitations for proposed financings undertaken to implement the CIP. Debt issuance for capital projects shoul d be incorporated into the Capital Improvement Program to be recommended for City Council approval.

VI. INTEGRATION OF PLANNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City is committed to long -term financial planning, maintaining appropriate reserve s levels, and employing prudent practices in governance, management, and budget administration. The City intends to shall only issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Policy. The City shall also and to implementintegrate policy strategic plan priorit ies decisions related to debt issuance incorporated within in the City’s annual operations budget.

VII. DEBT CONSIDERATIONS
The City prefers to fund projects on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City’s debt management program will consider debt issuance only in those cases where public policy, equity, and economic efficiency favor financing over cash pay-as-you-go financing.

1. Factors favoring a pay-as-you-go methodology include:
a. Current projected revenues, fund balances available are sufficient to fund the project and fund liabilities are manageable.
b. Long-term total costs are lower due to the avoidance of interest expense. c. Existing debt levels adversely affect the City’s credit rating. d. Market conditions are unfavorable or present difficulties in marketing.

2. Factors favoring debt financing include:
a. Current and projected revenues available for debt service are sufficient and reliable so that financings can be marketed with investment grade credit ratings. b. Market conditions present favorable interest rates leading to efficient financial resource allocation and demand for the City financings. 251

Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27

Effective Date: 06/28/2017

Page 4 of 27 ends

c. A project is mandated by state or federal requirements, and current resources are insufficient or unavailable to fully fund the project.
d. The project is immediately required to meet or relieve capacity needs or emergency conditions and current resources are insufficient or unavailable.

VIII.STANDARDS FOR USE OF DEBT FINANCING
The City prefers to fund projects on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City’s debt management program will consider debt issuance only in those cases where public policy, equity, and economic efficiency favor financing over pay-as-you-go financing.

Debt may be incurred to provide funding for long -term capital projects. The debt repayment period should relate to the expected useful life of the facilities or equipment being financed and should coincide with the stream of benefits provided by the proje cts being financed. When the City finances capital projects by incurring debt, the debt repayment period should be structured so that the weighted average maturity of the debt does not exceed the expected average useful life of the project being financed. Inherent in its long-term debt policies, the City recognizes that future taxpayers will benefit from the capital investment and that it is appropriate that they pay a share of the asset cost. Long -term debt financing shall not be used to fund operating costs.

Operating expenditures may only be funded through short-term debt.

IX. DEBT CAPACITY
The City will carefully monitor its levels of general- purpose debt. Because a General Law City’s general purpose debt capacity is limited, it is important that the City only use general purpose debt financing for high- priority projects where other financing methods cannot be reasonably used for two key reasons:

1. Funds borrowed for a project today are not available to fund other projects tomorrow.

2. Funds committed for debt repayment today are not available to fund operations in the future.

In evaluating debt capacity, general-purpose annual debt service payments should generally not exceed 10% of General Operating revenues, which consist of the General Fund and the Structural Fire Fund; and in no case should they exceed 15%. Further, direct debt will not exceed 2% of assessed valuation; and no more than 60% of capital improvement outlays will be funded from long-term financings.

X. DEBT TERM
The City recognizes that any new debt obligation will have an impact on the long -term affordability of all outstanding debt and any future planned debt, as well as budgetary impacts associated with the maintenance and operating costs of debt-financed facilities.

1. Term of Debt: Debt will be structured for the shortest period possible, consistent with a fair allocation of costs to current and future beneficiaries or users. Debt shall not be issued 252

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject
Debt Management and Disclosure Policy
Effective Date: 06/28/2017
01/22/2025

Page 5 of 27 ends

for a term that exceeds the useful life of the debt-financed asset.

2. Debt Repayment: Typically, the City desires level debt service payments over the term of the debt. However, the cost of capital, financial risk, current economic conditions, future financial flexibility, credit ratings and available cash flow will be evaluated to determine the most appropriate method of debt amortization for each debt issue. Notwithstanding the above, back loading the debt service will be evaluated as the circumstances dictate.

Back loading occurs when debt service payments are lower in the initial years of a debt term and higher toward the later years of a debt term.

VII. STANDARDS FOR USE OF DEBT FINANCING
The City’s debt management program will consider debt issuance only in those cases where public policy, equity and economic efficiency favor financing over cash funding.

A. Credit Quality
All City debt management activities for new debt issuances will be conducted in a manner conducive to receiving the highest credit ratings possible consistent with the City’s debt management objectives. The City will strive to maintain and improve the current credit ratings assigned to the City's outstanding debt by the major credit rating agencies.

B. Long-Term Capital Projects
Debt should be incurred to provide funding for long -term capital projects. The debt repayment period should relate to the expected useful life of the facilities or equipment being financed, and should coincide with the stream of benefits provided by the projects being financed. When the City finances capital projects by incurring debt, the debt repayment period should be structured so that the weighted average maturity of the debt does not exceed 120% of the expected average useful life of the project being financed. Inherent in its long -term debt policies, the City recognizes that future taxpayers will benefit from the capital investment and that it is appropriate that they pay a share of the asset cost. Long -term debt financing will not be used to fund operating costs.

C. Debt Financing Mechanism
The City will evaluate the use of all financial alternatives available including, but not limited to, long-term debt, short-term debt, fixed rate debt, excess cash reserves, and inter-fund borrowing. The City will utilize the most cost advantageous financi ng alternative available while limiting the City’s risk exposure.

D. Ongoing Debt Administration and Internal Controls
The City will maintain all debt-related records according to the city’s Retention Policy and the repository will include all official statements, bid documents, ordinances, indentures, trustee reports, etc. for all City debt. To the extent that official transcripts incorporate these documents, possession of a transcript will suffice (transcripts may 253

be hard copy or stored on CD-ROM or other forms o f electronic retention). The City will collect all available documentation for outstanding debt and will maintain a standard procedure for archiving transcripts for any new debt. The City has established internal controls to ensure compliance with the Debt Policy, all debt covenants and any applicable requirements of state and federal law. The City has also established internal control procedures to ensure that bond proceeds are used for the project that they are borrowed for, and compliance with restrictions prohibiting excessive private use on projects funded with tax-exempt bond proceeds.

Whenever reasonably possible, proceeds of debt will be held by a third-party trustee and the City will submit written requisitions for such proceeds. The City will submit a requisition only after obtaining the signature of the Finance Director. In those cases where it is not reasonably possible for the proceeds of debt to be held by a third-party trustee, the Finance Director shall retain records of all expenditures of proceeds through the final payment date for the debt.

E. Rebate Policy and System
The City will accurately account for all interest earnings in debt- related funds. These records will be designed to ensure that the City is in compliance with all debt covenants, and with state and federal laws. The City will maximize the interest earnings on all funds within the investment parameters set forth in each respective bond indenture, and as permitted by the City Investment Policy. The City will develop a system of reporting interest earnings that relates to and complies with Internal Revenue Code requirements relating to rebate, yield limits and arbitrage.

VIII.XI. FINANCING CRITERIA DEBT ISSUANCE
The City has the capacity to issue long- and short-term debt and to refund any outstanding debt.

When the City determines the use of debt is appropriate, the following criteria will be utilized to evaluate the type of debt to be issued.

A. Long-term Debt
A. : Long-term debt financing will be used, when funding requirements cannot be met with current revenues or cash reserves, to finance eligible capital projects including the acquisition, construction, or major rehabilitation of capital facilities. Long-term debt may be used to fund capitalized interest, cost of issuance, required reserves and any other financing related costs that may be legally capitalized. The proceeds derived from long - term borrowing will shall not be considered appropriate for any recurring purpose such as current used to fund recurring City operating and maintenance expenditures.

B. Short-term Debt:

B. Short-term debt will be considered as an interim source of funding in anticipation of long- term debt. Short term debt may be issued for any purpose for which long-term debt may 254

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-27
Subject
Debt Management and Disclosure Policy
Effective Date: 06/28/2017
01/22/2025

Page 7 of 27 ends

be issued, including capitalized interest and financing-related costs.

Short-term debt is also appropriate to address legitimate short -term cash flow requirements during a given fiscal year to fund the operating costs of the City to provide necessary public services. The City will not engage in short-term borrowing solely for the purpose of generating investment income.

Short-term borrowing may be utilized for the temporary funding of operational cash flow deficits or anticipated revenues, where anticipated revenues are defined as an assured revenue source with the anticipated amount based on conservative estimates. The C ity will determine and utilize the least costly method for short-term borrowing. The City may issue short -term debt when there is a defined repayment source and amortization of principal.

C. Refunding: Refunding opportunities will be identified by periodic reviews of outstanding debt obligations. Refunding will be considered when there is a net economic benefit from the refunding. Non -economic refunding may be undertaken to achieve City objectives relating to changes in covenants, call provisions, operational flexibility, tax status, issuer, or other non-economic factors related to the debt.

D. Private Placement : The City may determine that private placement of debt is most appropriate. Use of private placement will be considered collectively by the City Manager and Finance Director.

E. Pooled Financing: The City may also consider use of pooled financing as a method of accessing the capital markets. Use of pooled financing will be evaluated collectively by the City Manager and Finance Director on a case-by-case basis.

C. Other Debt
: There may be special circumstances when other forms of debt are appropriate; these will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

D. Financial Derivative Products
Financial Derivative Products will be considered appropriate in the issuance or management of debt only in instances where it has been demonstrated that the derivative product will either provide a hedge that reduces the risk of fluctuations in expense or revenue, or alternatively where the derivative product will reduce total project cost.

E. Refunding Financing
Refunding bonds are issued to retire all or a portion of an outstanding bond issue.

Refunding issuances can be used to achieve present -value savings on debt service or to restructure the payment schedule, type of debt instrument used, or covenants of existing debt. The City must analyze the refunding issue on a present -value basis to identify 255

economic effects before approval.

XII.DEBT STRUCTURE
A. Credit Ratings: It is a policy goal of the City to protect taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents by utilizing conservative financing methods and techniques so as to obtain the highest practical credit ratings (although not all debt with be rated) and the lowest practical borrowing costs. The City will seek to maintain the appropriate balance between high credit ratings and operational flexibility. In those cases where debt will be rated, the City will seek credit ratings from at least one of the three major ratings agencies. Ratings from multiple rating agencies may be sought for a single debt issue, based upon market expectations and conditions at the time of the issuance.

B. Capitalized Interest : The nature of the City’s revenue stream is such that funds are generally continuously available and the use of capitalized interest should not normally be necessary. However, certain types of financings may require the use of capitalized interest from the issuance date until the City has constructive use/benefit of the financed project. Unless otherwise required, the City will avoid the use of capitalized interest to avoid unnecessarily increasing the bond size. Interest will not be funded (capitalized) beyond three (3) years or a shorter period if further restricted by statute.

C. Fixed-rate and Variable-rate Debt: The City prefers to issue fixed-rate debt. Variable-rate debt may be used, if market conditions warrant at the time of issuance. It is acknowledged that variable-rate debt passes an unknown obligation onto future budget cycles.

D. Derivatives: Derivative products may have application with regard to certain borrowing programs. The City Manager and Finance Director will evaluate the use of derivative products on a case-by-case basis.

E. Call Provisions: The timing for when bonds are callable varies and is determined at the time of pricing such bonds. The City’s preferred structure is to negotiate for optional redemption at par in order to maintain flexibility in the future. Call provisions shall generally be analyzed on a cost-benefit basis to ensure the call premium does not exceed the realized savings.

F. Original Issue Discount: An original issue discount will be permitted only if the City determines that such discount results in a lower true interest cost on the debt and that the use of an original issue discount will not adversely affect the project identified by the legal documents related to the debt.

G. Credit Enhancements : The City may use credit enhancements (letters of credit, bond insurance, surety bonds, etc.) when such credit enhancements prove to be cost-effective.

The City will consider the use of credit enhancements on a case-by-case basis. 256

• General obligation bonds
• Bond or grant anticipation notes
• Lease revenue bonds, certificates of participation and lease-purchase transactions • Other revenue bonds and certificates of participation • Tax and revenue anticipation notes
• Land-secured financings, such as special tax revenue bonds issued under the Mello - Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, and limited obligation bonds issued under applicable assessment statutes
• Tax increment financing to the extent permitted under state law • Conduit financings, such as financings for affordable rental housing and qualified 501c3 organizations

The City may from time to time find that other forms of debt would be beneficial to further its public purposes and may approve such debt without an amendment of this Debt Policy.

IX. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DEBT
The City will establish all terms and conditions relating to the issuance of debt, and will control, manage, and invest all debt proceeds. The following restrictions will be followed unless otherwise authorized by the City:

A. Term
All capital improvements financed through the issuance of debt will be financed for a period so that the weighted average maturity of the debt will not exceed 120% of the expected average useful life of the assets being financed, and in no event should exceed the lesser of 30 years or the period of time until the sunset of a revenue source used to repay the bonds.

B. Capitalized Interest

Page 10 of 11 ends

The nature of the City’s revenue stream is such that funds are generally continuously available and the use of capitalized interest should not normally be necessary.

However, certain types of financings may require the use of capitalized interest from the issuance date until the City has constructive use/benefit of the financed project.

Unless otherwise required, the City will avoid the use of capitalized interest to avoid unnecessarily increasing the bond size. Interest will not be funded (capitalized) beyond three (3) years or a shorter period if further restricted by statute.

C. Lien Levels
Senior and junior liens for each revenue source will be utilized in a manner that will maximize the most critical constraint, typically either cost or capacity, thus allowing for the most beneficial use of the revenue source securing the bond.

D. Call Provisions
In general, the City’s securities will include a call feature that is no later than ten (10) years from the date of delivery of the debt. The City will generally avoid the sale of non - callable debt.

E. Original Issue Discount
An original issue discount will be permitted only if the City determines that such discount results in a lower true interest cost on the debt and that the use of an original issue discount will not adversely affect the project identified by the legal docum ents related to the debt.

X. TYPES OF DEBT
The following types of debt are allowable under this Debt Policy, subject to applicable law:

• general obligation bonds

• bond or grant anticipation notes

• lease revenue bonds, certificates of participation and lease-purchase transactions

• other revenue bonds and certificates of participation

• tax and revenue anticipation notes

• land-secured financings, such as special tax revenue bonds issued under the Mello- Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, and limited obligation bonds issued under applicable assessment statutes

• tax increment financing to the extent permitted under state law

• conduit financings, such as financings for affordable rental housing and qualified 501c3 organizations

The City may from time to time find that other forms of debt would be beneficial to further its public purposes and may approve such debt without an amendment of this Debt Policy.

XI.XIV. CREDIT ENHANCEMENTS
The City will consider the use of credit enhancement on a case -by-case basis, evaluating the economic benefit versus cost for each case. Only when a clearly demonstrable savings can be shown will enhancement be considered. The City will consider each of th e following enhancements by evaluating the cost and benefit of such enhancement.

A. Bond Insurance:

A. The City may purchase bond insurance when such purchase is deemed prudent and advantageous. The predominant determination will be based on such insurance being less costly than the present value of the difference in the interest on insured bonds versus uninsured bonds.

B. Debt Service Reserve Surety Bond:

C. When required, a reserve fund will be funded from the proceeds of each series of bonds, subject to federal tax regulations and in accordance with the requirements of credit enhancement providers and/or rating agencies. The City may purchase reserve equivalents (i.e., the use of a reserve fund surety) when such purchase is deemed prudent and advantageous. Such equivalents will be evaluated in comparison to cash funding of reserves on a net present value basis.

D. Letter of Credit:

The City may enter into a letter-of-credit agreement when such an agreement is deemed prudent and advantageous. Letters of credit will generally be provided only by those financial institutions with long-term ratings greater than or equal to that of the Ci ty, and short-term ratings in the highest category.

C.

XII.XV. REFINANCING OUTSTANDING DEBT
The City will continually evaluate outstanding bond issues for refunding opportunities. The City will consider the following issues when evaluating possible refunding opportunities:

A. Debt Service Savings:

B. The City has established a minimum savings threshold goal of three (3%) percent of the refunded bond principal amount unless there are other compelling reasons for defeasance. The present value savings will be net of all costs related to the refinancing.

A.

C. Restructuring:

The City will refund debt as opportunities are identified. Refundings will include restructuring for purposes of meeting unanticipated revenue expectations, termination of swaps, achieving cost savings, mitigating irregular debt service payments, releasing reserve funds or removing unduly restrictive bond covenants.

B.

D. Term of Refunding Issues:

C. The City will generally refund bonds within the term of the originally issued debt.

However, the City may consider maturity extension, when necessary to achieve a desired outcome, provided that such extension is legally permissible. The City may also consider shortening the term of the originally issued debt to realize greater savings. The remaining useful life of the financed asset and the concept of inter-generational equity will be given due consideration in formulating these decisions.

E. Escrow Structuring:

F. The City will utilize the least costly securities available in structuring refunding escrows. A certificate from a third party agent, who is not a broker- dealer, is required stating that the securities were procured through an arms-length, competitive bid process (in the case of open market securities), that such securities were more cost effective than State and Local Government Obligations (SLGS), and that the price paid for the securities was reasonable within federal guidelines. Under no circumstances will an underwriter, agent or financial advisor sell escrow securities to the City from its own account. 260

G. Arbitrage:

The City will take all necessary steps to optimize escrows and to avoid negative arbitrage in its refundings. Any resulting positive arbitrage will be rebated as necessary according to federal guidelines.

E.

XIII.XVI. METHODS OF ISSUANCE
The City will strive to sell its bonds competitively but will pursue negotiated sales when conditions warrant.

A. Competitive Sale
A. : In a competitive sale, the City’s bonds will be awarded to the bidder providing the lowest true interest cost as long as the bid adheres to the requirements set forth in the official notice of sale. Conditions under which a competitive sale would be prefer red are as follows:

•
• Market timing and interest rate sensitivity are not critical to the pricing • There are no complex explanations required during marketing regarding the City’s projects, media coverage, political structure, political support, funding or credit quality

• Bond insurance is included or pre-qualified (available) • Manageable transaction size
• The bonds carry strong credit ratings

D. Feasibility Analysis
D. : Issuance of revenue bonds will be accompanied by a finding that demonstrates the projected revenue stream's ability to meet future debt service payments.

XVII. INTERFUND BORROWING
The City may borrow internally from other funds with temporary cash surpluses to meet short - term cash needs in lieu of issuing debt. The fund(s) from which the money is borrowed shall be repaid with interest at the average earnings rate of the City investment pool. Interfund borrowing extending for more than one year will be brought to Council for approval via resolution and shall include an amortization schedule.

XVIII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
It is the policy of the City to ensure that proceeds of debt are spent only on lawful and intended uses. Whenever reasonably possible, proceeds of debt will be held by a third- party trustee and the City will submit written requisitions for such proceeds.

disclosure counsel to the extent the Disclosure Coordinator considers appropriate. • Under the continuing disclosure undertakings that the City has entered into in connection with its debt offerings, the City is required each year to file annual reports with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s Electronic Municipal Market Access (“EMMA”) system in accordance with such undertakings. Such annual reports are required to include certain updated financial and operating information, and the City’s audited financial statements. • The City is also required under its continuing disclosure undertakings to file notices of certain events with EMMA.
• The Disclosure Coordinator is responsible for establishing a system (which may involve the retention or one or more consultants) by which:
a) the City will make the annual filings required by its continuing disclosure undertakings on a complete and timely basis, and
b) the City will file notices of enumerated events on a timely basis.

C. Public Statements Regarding Financial Information
Whenever the City makes statements or releases information relating to its finances to the public that are reasonably expected to reach investors and the trading markets, the City is obligated to ensure that such statements and information are complete, true, and accurate in all material respects.

D. Training
• The Disclosure Coordinator shall ensure that the members of the City staff involved in the initial or continuing disclosure process and the City Council are properly trained to understand and perform their responsibilities.
• The Disclosure Coordinator shall arrange for disclosure training sessions conducted by the City’s disclosure counsel.

security. The information posted in the investor information web pages speaks only as of its date.”

XVIII. The City occasionally issues certificates of participation, assessment bonds, notes or other obligations (collectively, “Obligations”) in order to fund or refund capital investments, or other long-term programs. In offering Obligations to the public, and at other times when the City makes certain reports, the City must comply with the “anti -fraud rules” of federal securities laws (the “anti-fraud rules” includes Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933 [15 U.S.C. § 7 7a, et seq.] and Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C.A. § 78j], and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under those Acts (particularly “Rule 10b-5” under the 1934 Act at 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b–5).

XIX. The core requirement of these rules is that potential investors in Obligations must be provided with all “material” information relating to the offered Obligations. The information provided to investors must not contain any material misstatements, and the City must not omit material information which would be necessary to provide to investors a complete and transparent description of the Obligations and the City’s financial condition.

XX. When the City issues Obligations, the two central disclosure documents which are prepared are a preliminary official statement (“POS”) and a final official statement (“OS”; collectively with the POS, “Official Statement”). The Official Statement generally consists of (i) a description of the specific transaction including maturity dates, interest rates, redemption provisions, the specific type of financing, the leased premises (in certificate of participation financings) and other matters particular to the financing; (ii) information on the source of payment for the Obligations (discussed in the next paragraph); and (iii) various other appendices, including the City’s audited financial report, form of the proposed legal opinion, and form of continuing disclosure undertaking. Investors use the Official Statement as one of their primary resources for making informed investment decisions regarding the City’s Obligations.

XXI. The City issues Obligations payable from different sources, including the City’s General Fund. The Official Statement for a given transaction must reflect the particular source of payment. In General Fund-backed financings, the Official Statement will include a section which provides information on the financial condition of the City’s General Fund and other relevant City financial data (the “City Section”).

A. Engagement of Outside Disclosure Counsel
The City engages outside legal counsel with expertise in securities laws for advice with respect to the City’s disclosure obligations and requirements under the federal securities laws (“Disclosure Counsel”). Disclosure Counsel assists the City in preparin g the Official Statement and reviews all new data and updates to the Official Statement. Throughout the process of receiving and incorporating material, Disclosure Counsel provides advice as to standards of materiality and other securities law issues. Disc losure Counsel has a confidential, attorney-client relationship with the City. 268

XXII. Disclosure Counsel provides a negative assurance letter to the underwriters as to the disclosure set forth in the Official Statement for each Obligation. The letter advises the underwriters that, as a matter of fact and not opinion, no information came to the attention of the attorneys working on the transaction which caused them to believe that the Official Statement as of its date and as of the date of their letter (except for any financial, statistical, economic or demographic data or forecasts, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions or expressions of opinion, and other customary exclusions), contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

XXIII.B. DISCLOSURE Disclosure ProcessPROCESS
XXIV. When the City determines to issue Obligations, the Finance Director requests involved City Department Directors to commence preparation of the portions of the Official Statement for which they are responsible. While the general format and content of the Official Statement secured by a particular revenue source does not normally change substantially from offering to offering, except as necessary to reflect major events, the City Manager, Finance Director, and City Attorney (or their designees) are separately responsible for reviewing and preparing or updating certain portions of the Official Statement which are within their particular area of knowledge. Additionally, all participants in the disclosure process are separately responsible for reviewing the entir e Official Statement.

XXV. Disclosure Counsel and the City’s Municipal Advisor assist the Finance Director and City Manager in determining the materiality of any particular item, and the development of specific language in the Official Statement. Disclosure Counsel also assists the City in the development of a “big picture” overview of the financial condition of the General Fund or particular enterprise included in the Official Statement. This overview highlights particular areas of concern. Disclosure Counsel has a confidential, att orney-client relationship with the City.

XXVI. The Finance Director schedules one or more meetings or conference calls of the financing team working group (which includes City officials, the City’s municipal advisor, Bond and Disclosure Counsel, the underwriter of the Obligations, and its counsel), and new drafts of the Official Statement are circulated and discussed. During this part of the process, there is substantial contact among City Department Directors (or their designees), other members of the financing team and Disclosure Counsel, to discuss issues which may arise, determine the materiality of particular items and ascertain the prominence in which the items should be disclosed.

XXVII. Before distributing a POS to potential investors, there is a formal meeting which includes City officials involved in the preparation of the POS and the underwriters and their counsel, during which the Official Statement is reviewed in its entirety, page by page 269

or section by section, to obtain final comments and to allow the underwriters to ask questions of the City’s senior officials. This is referred to as a “due diligence” meeting.

XXVIII. A substantially final form of the POS is provided to the City Council and, if applicable, the Board of Directors of the Eastvale Public Financing Authority (the “Authority”) in advance of approval to afford the City Council an opportunity to review the POS, ask questions and make comments. The substantially final form of the POS is approved by the City Council which generally authorizes certain seni or staff to make additional corrections, changes and updates to the POS in consultation with the City Attorney and Disclosure Counsel.

XXIX. At the time the POS is posted for review by potential investors, senior City officials execute certificates deeming certain portions of the POS complete (except for certain pricing terms) as required by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c2-12.

XXX. Between the posting of the POS for review by potential investors and delivery of the final OS to the underwriter for redelivery to actual investors in the Obligations, any changes and developments will have been incorporated into the POS, including particularly the City Section, if required. If necessary, to reflect developments following publication of the POS or OS, as applicable, supplements will be prepared and published.

XXXI. In connection with the closing of the transaction, one or more senior City officials execute certificates stating that certain portions of the OS, as of the date of each OS and as of the date of closing, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the OS in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The City Attorney also provides an opinion letter for underwriters. Generally, that opinion letter will inform underwriters that information contained in the section of the OS relating to the City and its operations (or specified portions thereof) as of the date of the opinion letter did not, and as of the date of the closing, does not, contain any untrue statement of a known material fact or omitted or omits to state any known material fact necessary to make the statements within the OS, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The City Attorney does not opine to a ny financial, statistical, economic or demographic data or forecasts, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions or expressions of opinion, and certain other customary matters.

XXXII.C. Development of Information for the ObligationsDEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION

FOR THE OBLIGATIONS
XXXIII. The information contained in the City Section is developed by City personnel under the direction of the Finance Director, with the assistance of the financing team. In certain circumstances, additional City officials will be involved, as necessary. The following principles govern the work of the respective City personnel that contribute information to the City Section:

XXXIV. City employees involved in the disclosure process are responsible for being familiar with federal securities laws as they relate to disclosure.

XXXV. City employees involved in the disclosure process should be instructed to err on the side of raising issues when preparing or reviewing information for disclosure. Officials and other personnel are encouraged to consult with Disclosure Counsel if there are questions regarding whether an issue is material or not.

XXXVI. Care should be taken not to shortcut or eliminate any steps outlined in the Policy on an ad hoc basis. However, the Policy is not necessarily intended to be a rigid list of procedural requirements, but instead to provide guidelines for disclosure review. I f warranted, based on experience during financings or because of additional SEC pronouncements or other reasons, the City should consider revisions to the Procedures.

XXXVII. The process of updating Official Statements from transaction to transaction should not be viewed as being limited to updating tables and numerical information.

While it is not anticipated that there will be major changes in the form and content of the Official Statements secured by a particular revenue source at the time of each update, everyone involved in the process should consider the need for revisions in the form, content and tone of the sections for which they are responsible at the time of each update.

XXXVIII. The City must make sure that the particular officials involved in the disclosure process are of sufficient seniority such that it is reasonable to believe that, collectively, they are in possession of material information relating to the City and its finances.

XXXIX.D. Distribution of Procedures; TrainingDISTRIBUTION OF PROCEDURES; TRAINING XL. The Procedures must be provided to all senior City officials and any other member of the City staff that is involved in the City’s disclosure obligations and must also be provided to the members of the City Council and the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority.

XLI. Periodic training for the personnel involved in the preparation of the Official Statement is coordinated by the office of the Finance Director, with the assistance of Disclosure Counsel. These training sessions are provided to assist staff members involved in identifying relevant disclosure information to be included in Official Statements. The training sessions also provide an overview of federal laws relating to disclosure, situations in which disclosure rules apply, the purpose of the Official Statement, a description of previous SEC enforcement actions and a discussion of recent developments in the area of municipal disclosure. Attendees at the training sessions are provided the opportunity to ask questions of Disclosure Counsel concerning disclosure obligations and are encouraged to contact Disclosure Counsel at any time if they have questions.

In connection with issuing of Obligations, the City entered into a number of agreements (“Continuing Disclosure Certificates”) to provide annual reports related to its financial condition (including its audited financial statements) as well as notice of ce rtain events relating to the Obligations specified in the Continuing Disclosure Certificates. The City must comply with the specific requirements of each Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City’s Continuing Disclosure Certificates generally require that the annual reports be filed within nine months after the end of the City’s fiscal year, and event notices are generally required to be filed within 10 days of their occurrence.

Specific events which require “enumerated event” notices are set forth in each particular Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

The Finance Director is responsible for preparing and filing the annual reports and enumerated event notices required pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Certificates and for other secondary market disclosures as described under the caption “Secondary Market Disclosure.” Particular care must be paid to the timely filing of any changes in credit ratings on Obligations (including changes resulting from changes in the credit ratings of insurers of particular Obligations).

The City Attorney or Finance Director, upon the advice of Bond and Disclosure Counsel, will provide written notice to the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority of any receipt by the City or the Authority of any default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms (only if material or may reflect financ ial difficulties), or other similar events (collectively, a “Potentially Reportable Event”) under any agreement or obligation to which the City is a party and which may be a “financial obligation” as discussed below. Such written notice should be provided by the City Attorney or Finance Director to the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority as soon as the City Attorney or Finance Director is provided written notice or otherwise informed by knowledgeable City personnel, consultants, or external parties of such event. The Finance Director, with the assistance of Bond and Disclosure Counsel, will determine whether notice of such Potentially Reportable Event is required to be filed on the Electronic Municipal Market Access (“EMMA”) pursuant to the disclosure requirements of SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”). If filing on EMMA is required, the filing is due within 10 business days of such Potentially Reportable Event to comply with the continuing disclosure undertaking for the various debt obligations of the City. The Finance Director will notify the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority of such events.

The City Attorney or Finance Director, upon the advice of Bond and Disclosure Counsel, will report to the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority regarding the 272

execution by the City of any agreement or other obligation which might constitute a “financial obligation” for purposes of the Rule. Amendments to existing City agreements or obligations with “financial obligation s,” which relate to covenants, events of default, remedies, priority rights, or other similar terms, should be reported to the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Authority as soon as the City Attorney or Finance Director is provided written noti ce or otherwise notified by knowledgeable City personnel, consultants, or external parties of such event. The Finance Director will determine, in consultation with the City Attorney and with the assistance of Bond and Disclosure Counsel, whether such agree ment or other obligation constitutes a material “financial obligation” for purposes of the Rule. If such agreement or other obligation is determined to be a material “financial obligation” or a material amendment to a “financial obligation” described above , notice thereof would be required to be filed on EMMA within 10 business days of execution or incurrence. The types of agreements or other obligations that could constitute “financial obligations” and would need to be reported on EMMA include:

a) Bank loans or other obligations which are privately placed; a)
b) 2. State or federal loans;
b)
c) 3. Commercial paper or other short-term indebtedness for which no offering document has been filed on EMMA;
c)
d) 4. Letters of credit, surety policies or other credit enhancement with respect to the City’s publicly offered debt;
d)
e) 5. Letters of credit, including letters of credit which are provided to third parties to secure the City’s obligation to pay or perform (an example of this is a standby letter of credit delivered to secure the City’s obligations for performance under a mitigation agreement);
e)
f) 6. Capital leases for property, facilities, fleet or equipment; and f)

XLVII.b) The Finance Director will continue to work with the City Attorney and Bond and Disclosure Counsel to refine the definition of financial obligation going forward based on future SEC guidance.

XLVIII.F. Secondary Market DisclosureSECONDARY MARKET DISCLOSURE On February 7, 2020, the SEC released a staff legal bulletin (the “Bulletin”) concerning secondary market disclosure in the municipal bond market. The Bulletin included SEC views on a variety of matters including, without limitation, the applicability of the federal securities law to public agency websites, reports delivered to governmental and institutional bodies and statements made by public officials including elected board members. Documents, reports and other written statements of the City which contain current financial and operational conditions of the City will be included in a section of the City’s website appropriately identified. The City and its Bond and Disclosure Counsel have reviewed the Bulletin and have incorporated certain SEC staff recommendations into this Policy and into disclosure training for staff and City Council members. The City and its Bond and Disclosure Counsel will be cognizant of those reviews and will consider whether those reviews require the City to make secondary market disclosures.

PURPOSE
This policy establishes the target and minimum levels of fund balance to be maintained in various funds and to identify certain requirements for classifying fund balance in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Definitions.

BACKGROUND
In March 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, to address issues related to how fund balance was being reported in governmental financial statements. The intent of the Statement is to bring greater transparency and consistency to fund balance reporting in the governmental sector.

The standard does not change the total amount of a given fund balance, but it substantially alters the categories and terminology used to describe the components of a fund balance. The ew categories and terminology reflect an approach that focuses, not on financial resources available for appropriation within a fund, but on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the use of the funds. There are almost always limitations on the purpose for which all or a portion of the City’s fund balance resources can be used. The force of these limitations can vary significantly depending on their source. The various components of the fund balance reporting standard are designed to indicate the extent to which the City is bound by these limitations placed upon the resources.

SCOPE
The use of this policy is primarily focused within the City’s governmental funds: General Fund, Structural Fire Fund, General Capital Project Funds, and General Capital Replacement Funds. The City’s primary financial objective is to maintain the fiscal stability of the municipality. Fund balance is an important measure of economic stability. It is essential that the City maintain adequate levels of assigned and unrestricted fund balance to mitigate financial risk that can occur from unforeseen revenue fluctuations and unanticipated expenditures.

DEFINITIONS
Fund balance is the difference between the assets (what is owned) and liabilities (what is owed) reported in the City’s governmental funds. There are generally limitations on the purpose for which all or a portion of the resources of a governmental fund may be used. The force behind these limitations can vary significantly, depending upon their source. Consequently, the fund balance reported in the annual financial statements is categorized into five components whereby each component identifies the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the fund can be spent. The five components of fund balance are as follows:

1. Nonspendable: Resources that are 1) not in spendable form, such as inventories, prepaids, long-term receivables, or non-financial assets held for resale, or 2) required to be maintained intact such as an endowment. However, nonspendable items that are 276

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-23
Subject
Fund Balance Reserve Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 2 of 7 ends

restricted, committed or assigned when they become spendable are included in those respective categories.

2. Restricted: Resources that are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions; these restrictions would be either 1) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or 2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

3. Committed: Resources that are constrained to specific purposes by a formal action of the City Council such as an ordinance or resolution. The constraint remains binding unless removed in the same formal manner by the City Council. Council action to commit fund balance must occur within the fiscal reporting period while the amount committed may be determined subsequently.

4. Assigned: Resources that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor committed.

5. Unassigned: Residual resources, either positive or negative, in excess of what can be properly classified in one of the other four fund balance categories. Within all other governmental funds, the negative residual resources in excess of what can be properly classified as nonspendable, restricted, or committed.

The first two components listed above are not addressed in this policy due to the nature of their restrictions. Some examples of nonspendable fund balance are prepaid expenses, notes receivable, inventory and land held for resale. Restricted fund balance is either imposed by law or constrained by grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments. This policy focuses on financial reporting of unrestricted fund balance, the last three components listed above, committed, assigned, and unassigned.

POLICY
The City shall maintain minimum fund balances as described in detail below. This policy also requires that internal service funds be funded every fiscal year to ensure there is no deficit at June 30. Minimum fund balances are necessary to maintain the City’s credit worthiness and to adequately provide for:
 Economic uncertainties, local disasters and other hardships/downturns in the local economy
 Contingencies for unforeseen operating or capital needs  Cash flow requirements

1. Authority and Hierarchy
a. Commitment of Fund Balance: The City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose 277

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-23
Subject
Fund Balance Reserve Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 3 of 7 ends

unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. City Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting period; however, the amount can be determined subsequently.
b. Assigning Fund Balance: This policy delegates to the City Manager, or the City Manager’s designee, the authority to assign unrestricted fund balance amounts where the City’s intent is for those amounts to be used for specific purposes. This delegation of authority is for the sole purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements and holding funds for specific projects. Amounts will also be reported within the City’s Interim Financial Reports. Such assignments cannot exceed the available (spendable, unrestricted, uncommitted) fund balance in any particular fund.
c. Reporting Encumbrances: Encumbering amounts in governmental funds for specific purposes for which resources have already been restricted, committed or assigned should not result in a separate display of encumbered amounts.

Encumbered amounts for specific purposes for which amounts have not been previously restricted, committed or assigned, will be classified as committed or assigned, as appropriate, based on the definitions and criteria set forth in GASB Statement No. 54.
d. Hierarchy of Fund Balance: When multiple categories of fund balance are available for expenditure, the City will spend the most restricted funds first before moving down to the next category with available funds in the following order, assuming usable funds for the intended use are available in the category of fund balance:
i. Restricted
ii. Committed
iii. Assigned
iv. Unassigned
If funds in the most restrictive category are not available for a specific use, the next less restrictive category of funds will be utilized.

2. Assigned Reserves:
a. Assigned Operating Reserves and Usage:
i. Operating Reserve Fund Balance shall be used only to fund unanticipated needs and/or emergencies as described below:

1. Catastrophic Events and Major Disasters: Operating Reserves may fund the extraordinary operating costs, legal costs, and cash flow problems associated with delays in State and Federal
reimbursements for any catastrophic event and major disaster 278

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-23

Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 4 of 7 ends

(natural or man-made) declared by the City Council of their designee, or by the State of California, or by the federal government that are nonrecurring expenditures.

2. Fiscal Emergencies: Operating Reserves may fund operating expenditures in the event of a fiscal emergency due to unforeseen changes to operating revenue streams.
ii. City Council must appropriate budget in order to utilize the operating reserve funds. A maximum of fifty percent of the prior year ending balance in the Operating Reserve Fund may be drawn. At no time may the balance be less than 5 percent of the adopted annual appropriations for cash flow purposes.
b. General Fund Operating Reserve:
i. The City has established a General Fund “Operating Reserve” assigned fund balance policy, also known as the Emergency Contingency reserve. At the end of each fiscal year, the General Fund should have a minimum assigned fund balance of 50% of the current year’s General Fund annual budgeted operating expenditures, as calculated by the Finance Director to fully fund the “Operating Reserve.” This target amount has been established in order to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the City’s day-to-day operations will be able to continue even if circumstances occur where revenues are insufficient to cover expenditures. The General Fund’s “Operating Reserve” assigned fund balance policy is reported in the notes to the annual financial statements and is shown in the annual financial statements as “General Fund Operating Reserve” assigned fund balance. The “General Fund Operating Reserve” is also shown in Interim Financial Reports provided to the City Council.
c. Fire Fund Operating Reserve:
i. The City has established a Fire Fund “Operating Reserve” assigned fund balance policy. At the end of each fiscal year, the Fire Fund should have a minimum assigned fund balance of 75% of the current year’s Fire Fund annual budgeted operating expenditures, as calculated by the Finance Director. This target amount has been established in order to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the City’s day-to-day Fire operations will be able to continue even if circumstances occur where revenues are insufficient to cover expenditures. The Fire Fund’s “Operating Reserve” assigned fund balance policy is reported in the notes to the annual financial statements and is shown in the annual financial statements as “Fire Fund Operating Reserve” assigned fund balance. The “Fire Fund Operating 279

Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-23

Fund Balance Reserve Policy
Effective Date: 01/22/2025

Page 5 of 7 ends

Reserve” is also shown in Interim Financial Reports provided to the City Council.

1. The Fire Fund Operating Reserve is calculated at 75% due to the limited resources available within the fund. The Fire Fund is wholly supported by property taxes and therefore is subject to more volatility than the City’s General Fund.
d. Capital Replacement and Maintenance Funds:
i. When a General Fund budget surplus is available, the General Fund will contribute to the Capital Replacement Funds for future maintenance and replacement of vital public infrastructure and equipment. These funds will be held in an assigned reserve. Annual contributions to the funds are as follows:

1. General Information Capital Replacement: $50,000

2. General Fleet Capital Replacement: $120,000

3. General Street Maintenance: $500,000

4. General Facility Maintenance: $250,000

5. General Catch Basin and Storm Drain Maintenance: $100,000 ii. The replacement and maintenance funds shall be capped in a method that retains available cash to fund emergency projects, but not in excessive amounts.

1. Maintenance funds shall be capped at 40% of the total five-year CIP or five-year planning document maintenance project costs.

2. Replacement funds shall be capped at 20% of the five-year CIP or five-year planning document replacement project costs.
iii. In deficit budget years, the General Fund will not contribute to the Capital Replacement and Maintenance Funds.
iv. Assigned fund balance in the Capital Replacement and Maintenance Funds shall not available to support operating expenditures of the General Fund, unless the expenditures are directly related to the replacement of capital or maintenance of infrastructure as the funds have been titled.

4. Unassigned Reserves:
a. The City has established a General Fund minimum unassigned fund balance policy.

At the end of each fiscal year, the General Fund shall have a minimum unassigned fund balance of 5% of the current year’s General Fund annual budgeted operating expenditures, as calculated by the Finance Director. This target amount has been established in order to provide contributions to the city’s special revenue funds that may complete the fiscal year with a negative fund balance. The General Fund’s minimum unassigned fund balance policy is reported in the notes to the 280

Policy No: A-23

Effective Date: 01/22/2025

annual financial statements and is shown in the annual financial statements as unassigned fund balance.

5. Replenishing Fund Balance Deficiencies in any Category of Fund Balance: When fund balance falls below thresholds set by this policy, the City Council must approve and adopt a plan to restore this balance to the target level within three years using the budget strategies described below:
i. Use of budget surplus
ii. Reduction to recurring expenditures to eliminate any structural deficit or, iii. Increase revenues or pursue other funding sources, or iv. A combination of the three options above
The progress of replenishment shall be reported in the annual budget.

6. Deficit Fund Balance: If a fund’s unassigned fund balance is not positive at any year-end, the City shall develop a funding plan and a timeframe to bring it into a positive state. The unassigned fund balance deficit in any fund shall be restored through the following mechanisms, in order of priority:
i. Reduction of (1) assigned fund balance levels, (2) committed fund balance levels;
ii. Transfer of unassigned fund balances from other related funds, if allowed.

7. Surplus Fund Balance: If all categories of fund balances are fully funded as described in this policy and both unrestricted and unassigned fund balance in any fund remains, it will be considered a surplus for the budgeted year. If unrestricted and unassigned fund balance of any fund exceeds this policy’s targets, the City Council may consider such fund balance surpluses to be used for (a) capital projects and equipment (b) pay down long- term obligations, and (c) one-time expenditures that are non-recurring in nature and which do not require additional future operating expenditure outlay for maintenance, additional staffing, or other recurring expenditure. Appropriation from the General Fund’s unassigned fund balance shall require the approval of the City Council.

SUMMARY & PRIORITY
At the end of the fiscal year end close, the annual surplus fund balance, as defined above, in the General Fund will be automatically allocated as listed below. City Council may take action to override the priority list or change amounts. The list is in order of highest priority to lowest priority:
 50% Assigned General Fund Operating Reserve;
 A cap of 50% of Debt service operating costs in a specific Debt Service reserve;  A cap of $2,500,000 for Pension Obligation;
 A cap of $3,000,000 for Public Safety Rate Increase Stabilization;  5% retained in General Fund Balance unassigned reserves;  $500,000 to General Street Maintenance, capped at 40% of the five-year CIP street maintenance projected costs;

Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance entled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EASTVALE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 4.72 OF THE EASTVALE

MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION IN THE WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE (TUMF) PROGRAM.

Summary
The proposed ordinance will update the City's parcipaon in the Transportaon Uniform Migaon Fee (TUMF) program and amend Chapter 4.72 of the Eastvale Municipal Code to reference the 2024 Nexus Study.

Background
The City of Eastvale is a Member Jurisdicon of the Western Riverside County Council of Governments (WRCOG), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and eighteen (18) cies located in Western Riverside County. The City of Eastvale is also a parcipant in the region-wide Transportaon Uniform Migaon Fee (TUMF), which was established in 2002.

Developed by the WRCOG Member Jurisdicons, the TUMF program is intended to address the 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752

292
shorBall in funds needed to enhance and enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in response to new residenal, commercial, and industrial development throughout Western Riverside County.

As a Member Jurisdicon of WRCOG and as a TUMF Parcipang Jurisdicon, the County, prior to the City's incorporaon, parcipated in the preparaon of a certain “Western Riverside County Transportaon Uniform Fee Nexus Study,” (“2002 Nexus Study”) later adopted by the WRCOG Execuve CommiEee. Based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented Ordinance 2014-07 authorizing the City’s parcipaon in a TUMF Program which was most recently amended in 2018 by Ordinance 2018-14 and located in Chapter 4.72 (“Western Riverside County Transportaon Uniform Migaon Fee Program”) of Title 4 (“Revenue and Finance”) of the Eastvale Municipal Code.

Pursuant to the Migaon Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.), WRCOG has prepared a new nexus study (“2024 Nexus Study”) to update the fees. On September 9, 2024 the WRCOG Execuve CommiEee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and recommended TUMF Parcipang Jurisdicons update their fees by amending their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction.

Analysis
The proposed Ordinance provides the legal basis for a revised TUMF fee schedule. The actual TUMF fee schedule was adopted by City Council through a Resolution on January 8, 2025.

In accordance with the Migaon Fee Act, the proposed Ordinance and 2024 Nexus Study: (1) idenfy the purpose of the revised fees; (2) idenfy the use to which the revised fees is to be put, including idenficaon of any facilies to be financed; (3) determine how there is a reasonable relaonship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed; (4) determine how there is a reasonable relaonship between the need for the public facilies and the type of development project upon which the fees are imposed; and (5) determine how there is a reasonable relaonship between the amount of the fees and the cost of the public facilies or poron or the public facility aEributable to the development on which the fees are imposed.

The resolution established the updated Fee Schedule for TUMF as follows:

1 .
$12,380 per single family residential unit 1,800 square feet or less 2 .
$13,927 per single family residential unit between 1,801 and 2,300 square feet 3 .
$15,476 per single family residential unit between 2,301 and 2,700 square feet 4 .
$19,344 per single family residential unit greater than 2,700 square feet 5 .
$7,816 per multi-family residential unit
6 .
$2.33 per square foot of an industrial project
7 .
$7.72 per square foot of a retail commercial project
8 .
$4.89 per square foot of a service commercial project
9 .
$2.45 per square foot of a service Class A and B Office

The effective date for the new TUMF Schedule is April 1, 2025. 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752

Sec. 4.72.010. Title.

This Ordinance shall be known as the “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2025” (“Ordinance”).

Sec. 4.72.020. Findings.

A. The City is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and 18 cities located in Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, the WRCOG Member Agencies developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”) could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial and industrial development. The map depicting the boundaries of Western Riverside County and the Regional System attached to Ordinance No. [INSERT THIS ORDINANCE NUMBER] is incorporated herein. As a Member Agency of WRCOG and as a TUMF Participating Jurisdiction, the City participated in the preparation of a certain “Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study,” dated October 18, 2002 (the “2002 Nexus Study”) prepared in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.) and adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee. Based on the 2002 Nexus Study, the City adopted and implemented an ordinance authorizing the City’s participation in a TUMF Program.

B. In 2016, the TUMF Nexus Study (“2016 Nexus Study”) was updated for the purpose of updating the fees. On July 10, 2017, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2016 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program.

C. On October 11, 2017, the City adopted Ordinance No. 2017-05 which adopted the 2016 Nexus Study and updated the TUMF.

D. In 2018, the TUMF Program was altered to adopt a process in which WRCOG calculates and collects TUMF on behalf of member agencies under the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2018. 298
E. The City adopted Ordinance No. 2018-14 on December 12, 2018 allowing WRCOG to calculate and collect TUMF on behalf of the City.

F. WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Participating Jurisdictions, has prepared an updated nexus study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024 Update” (“2024 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees. The 2024 Nexus Study is attached to Ordinance No. [INSERT THIS ORDINANCE NUMBER] and incorporated herein by reference. On September 9, 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program.

G. Consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Ordinance No. 2017-05, the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that if the capacity of the Regional System is not enlarged and unless development contributes to the cost of improving the Regional System, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County, with unacceptable Levels of Service. Furthermore, the failure to mitigate growing traffic impacts on the Regional System will substantially impair the ability of public safety services (police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. Therefore, continuation of a TUMF Program is essential.

H. The City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied.

I. The City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional System and the type of development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such projects to have access to the Regional system.

Such development will benefit from the Regional System improvements and the burden of such developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF.

J. The City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new 2024 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Regional System improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional System, and that the amount of the TUMF expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to such development.

K. The fees collected pursuant to this Chapter shall be used to help pay for the design, planning, construction of and real acquisition for the Regional System improvements and its facilities as identified in the 2024 Nexus Study. The need for the improvements and 299
facilities is related to new development because such development results in additional traffic and creates the demand for the improvements.

L. By notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place for a public hearing on the 2024 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder and at least ten (10) days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 2024 Nexus Study available to the public.

M. At the time and place set for the hearing, the City Council duly considered data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of the improvements and facilities for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether written or oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing.

N. The City Council finds that the 2024 Nexus Study proposes a fair and equitable method for distributing a portion of the unfunded costs of improvements and facilities to the Regional system.

Regional Tier
i. Arterial Credits: If a developer constructs arterial improvements identified on the Regional System, the developer shall receive credit for all costs associated with the arterial component based on approved Nexus Study for the Regional System effective at the time the credit agreement is entered into. WRCOG staff must pre-approve any credit agreements that deviate from the standard WRCOG approved format.
ii. Other Credits: In special circumstances, when a developer constructs off- site improvements such as an interchange, bridge, or railroad grade separation, credits shall be determined by WRCOG and the City in consultation with the developer. All such credits must have prior written approval from WRCOG.
iii. The amount of the development fee credit shall not exceed the maximum amount determined by the Nexus Study for the Regional System at the time the credit agreement is entered into or actual costs, whichever is less.

Local Tier
i. The local jurisdictions shall compare facilities in local fee programs against the Regional System and eliminate any overlap in its local fee program except where there is a Recognized Financing District has been established. ii. If there is a Recognized Financing District established, the local agency may credit that portion of the facility identified in both programs against the TUMF in accordance with the TUMF Administrative Plan.

Sec. 4.72.050. Reimbursements.

Should the developer construct Regional System improvements in excess of the TUMF fee obligation, the developer may be reimbursed based on actual costs or the approved Nexus Study effective at the time the agreement was entered into, whichever is less.

Reimbursements shall be enacted through an agreement between the developer and the City, contingent on funds being available and approved by WRCOG. In all cases, however, reimbursements under such special agreements must coincide with construction of the transportation improvements as scheduled in the five-year Zone Transportation Improvement Program’s adopted annually by WRCOG.
305
Sec. 4.72.060. Procedures for the levy, collection and disposition of fees.

A. Authority of the Building Department. The Director of Building & Safety, or his/her designee, is hereby authorized to provide WRCOG with development project specifics for the calculation of TUMF in a manner consistent with the TUMF Administrative Plan.

i. All fees collected hereunder shall be collected by WRCOG for deposit, investment, accounting and expenditure in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter, TUMF Administrative Plan, and the Mitigation Fee Act.
ii. The fees shall be paid at the time a certificate of occupancy is issued for the Development Project or upon final inspection, whichever comes first (the “Payment Date”).

However this section should not be construed to prevent payment of the fees prior to issuance of an occupancy permit or final inspection. Fees may be paid at the issuance of a building permit, and the fee payment shall be calculated based on the fee in effect at that time, provided the developer tenders the full amount of his/her TUMF obligation. If the developer makes only a partial payment prior to the Payment Date, the amount of the fee due shall be based on the TUMF fee schedule in place on the Payment Date. The fees shall be calculated according to fee schedule set forth in this Chapter and the calculation methodology set forth in the Fee Calculation Handbook adopted July 14, 2003, as amended from time to time. iii. The fees required to be paid shall be the fee amounts in effect at the time of payment is due under this Chapter, not the date the Chapter was initially adopted. The City shall not enter into a development agreement which freezes future adjustments of the TUMF. iv. If all or part of any development project is sold prior to payment of the fee, the property shall continue to be subject to the requirement for payment of the fee. The obligation to pay the fee shall run with the land and be binding on all the successors in interest to the property.
v. Fees shall not be waived.

C. Issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. The City shall not issue a certificate of occupancy for any Development Project until WRCOG has provided written evidence that it has collected the fee.

D. Appeals. Appeals shall be filed with WRCOG in accordance with the provisions of the TUMF Administrative Plan. Appealable issues shall be the application of the fee, application of credits, application of reimbursement, application of the legal action stay and application of exemption.

E. Reports to WRCOG. The Director of Building and Safety, or his/her designee, shall prepare and deliver to the Executive Director of WRCOG, periodic reports as will be established under Section 4.72.070 of this Chapter.

Sec. 4.72.070. Appointment of the TUMF administrator.

WRCOG is hereby appointed as the Administrator of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program. WRCOG is hereby authorized to collect all fees generated from the TUMF within the City, and to invest, account for and expend such fees in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter and the Mitigation Fee Act. The detailed administrative procedures concerning the implementation of this Ordnance shall be contained in the TUMF Administrative Plan . Furthermore, the TUMF Administrator shall use the Fee Calculation Handbook adopted July 14, 2003, as amended from time to time, for the purpose of calculating a developer’s TUMF obligation. In addition to detailing the methodology for calculating all TUMF obligations of 306
different categories of new development, the purpose of the Fee Calculation Handbook is to clarify for the TUMF Administrator, where necessary, the definition and calculation methodology for uses not clearly defined in the respective TUMF ordinances.

WRCOG shall expend only that amount of the funds generated from the TUMF for staff support, audit, administrative expenses, and contract services that are necessary and reasonable to carry out its responsibilities and in no case shall the funds expended for salaries and benefits exceed two percent (2%) of the revenue raised by the TUMF Program. The TUMF Administrative Plan further outlines the fiscal responsibilities and limitations of the Administrator.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 iii
ES.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES.1 Introduction and Purpose of the Nexus Study
Western Riverside County includes 18 incorporated cities and the unincorporated county covering an area of approximately 2,100 square miles. Through the mid 2000’s, this portion of Riverside County was growing at a pace exceeding the capacity of existing financial resources to meet increasing demand for transportation infrastructure.

Although the economic recession of the late 2000’s, and the associated crises in the mortgage and housing industries, slowed this rate of growth, the regional economy has recovered and the projected rate of development in Western Riverside County remains high. Similarly, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel demand in the region has also passed, with travel demands, especially for the highway network, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Continued high growth in households and jobs in Western Riverside County could significantly increase congestion and degrade mobility if substantial investments are not made in transportation infrastructure. This challenge is especially critical for arterial roadways of regional significance, since traditional sources of transportation funding (such as the gasoline tax and local general funds) will not be nearly sufficient to fund the needed improvements.

In February 1999, the cities of Temecula, Murrieta and Lake Elsinore, the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the Building Industry Association (BIA) met to discuss the concept of a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) for southwest Riverside County. In August 2000, the concept was expanded to include the entire WRCOG sub- region.

Continued high growth in households and jobs in Western Riverside County could significantly increase congestion and degrade mobility if substantial investments are not made in transportation infrastructure. This challenge is especially critical for arterial roadways of regional significance, since traditional sources of transportation funding (such as the gasoline tax and local general funds) will not be nearly sufficient to fund the needed improvements. While the TUMF cannot fund all necessary transportation system improvements, it is intended to address a current transportation funding shortfall by establishing a new revenue source that ensures future new development will contribute toward addressing its indirect cumulative traffic impacts on regional transportation infrastructure. Funding accumulated through the TUMF Program will be used to construct transportation improvements such as new arterial highway lanes, reconfigured freeway interchanges, railroad grade separations and new regional express bus services that will be needed to accommodate future travel demand in Western Riverside County. By levying a fee on new developments in the region, local agencies will be establishing a mechanism by which developers and in turn new county residents and employees will effectively contribute their “fair share” toward sustaining the regional transportation system.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 iv
This TUMF Draft Nexus Study is intended to satisfy the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 5 Section 66000-66008 Fees for Development Projects (also known as California Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600) or the Mitigation Fee Act) which governs imposing development impact fees in California. The initial WRCOG TUMF Nexus Study was completed in October 2002 and adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee in November 2002. The results of the first review of the Program were documented in the TUMF Nexus Study 2005 Update adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee on February 6, 2006. A second comprehensive review of the TUMF Program was adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee on October 5, 2009. A third comprehensive review of the TUMF Program was conducted following the adoption of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2016-2040 Regional Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy (2016 RTP/SCS) on April 7, 2016.

The WRCOG TUMF Nexus Study 2016 Update Report was adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee on July 10, 2017.

On September 3, 2020, SCAG adopted Connect SoCal; The 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy of the Southern California Association of Governments (2020 RTP/SCS). The adoption of the 2020 RTP/SCS confirmed new growth forecasts for the region that provide a foundational element for updating the TUMF program and the associated nexus determination prompting WRCOG to initiate the current program update. These forecasts are also integrated into the Riverside County Transportation Analysis Model (RivCoM) used to forecast the cumulative regional traffic impacts of new development on the arterial highway network in Western Riverside County.

The overall process for establishing the TUMF nexus is illustrated in Figure ES.1. Each technical step is denoted with a number on the flow chart with the numbers correlating to the detailed description of each step provided in Section 1.3 of the Nexus Study Report. The flow chart also incorporates color coding of the steps to indicate those steps that involved the application of RivCoM, steps that utilized other input data, steps that are computations of various inputs, and steps that required specific actions of the various WRCOG committees to confirm major variables. Where appropriate, the flow chart also includes specific cross references to the sections or tables included in the Nexus Study document that correlate to the particular step.

This version of the WRCOG TUMF Nexus Study Report documents the results of the fourth comprehensive review of the TUMF Program. This version of the document also incorporates revisions in response to comments received during the formal review of the earlier Draft TUMF Nexus Study 2024 Update. The findings of this report were ultimately adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee on September 9, 2024. 315

ES.2 Future Growth
In preparation for the 2020 RTP/SCS, SCAG undertook robust stakeholder engagement, including participation by WRCOG, Riverside County and the various cities in Western Riverside County, to develop regional demographic forecasts. Using input from regional stakeholders regarding anticipated patterns and rates of development, SCAG compiled and disseminated the forecasts that were ultimately adopted in 2020. The SCAG forecasts adopted for the 2020 RTP/SCS were subsequently used as the basis for RivCoM and are used as the basis for this TUMF Nexus Study Update.

A major distinction between data used for the TUMF Nexus Study 2016 Update and the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS data used for this 2024 Update is the change in the base year from 2012 to 2018, as well as the change in the horizon year from 2040 to 2045. This shift in the base year and horizon year demographic assumptions of the program carries through all aspects of the nexus analysis, including the travel demand forecasting, network review and fee calculation.

The population of Western Riverside County is projected to increase by 33% in the period between 2018 and 2045. During the same period, employment in Western Riverside County is anticipated to grow by 48%. Figure ES.2 illustrates the forecast growth in population, household and employment for Western Riverside County.

ES.3 Need for the TUMF
The WRCOG TUMF study area was extracted from the greater RivCoM model network for the purpose of calculating measures for Western Riverside County only. Peak period performance measures for the TUMF study area included total vehicle miles of travel (VMT), total vehicle hours of travel (VHT), total combined vehicle hours of delay (VHD), and total VMT experiencing unacceptable level of service (LOS E).

As a result of the new development and associated growth in population and employment in Western Riverside County, additional pressure will be placed on the transportation infrastructure, particularly the arterial roadways, with the peak period VMT on the TUMF Network estimated to increase by 38% between 2018 and 2045. By 2045, 37% of the total VMT on the TUMF Network is forecast to be traveling on facilities experiencing peak period LOS E or worse. Without improvements to the arterial highway system, the total vehicle hours of delay (VHD) experienced by area motorists on the TUMF Network will increase over 5.0% per year. The need to improve these roadways and relieve future congestion is therefore directly linked to the future development which generates the travel demand.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 vii
Figure ES.2 - Population, Households and Employment in Western Riverside County (2018 to 2045)
As population and employment in Western Riverside County grows because of new development, demand for regional transit services in the region is also expected to grow. Weekday system ridership for RTA bus transit services is approximately 16,575 riders per day in Western Riverside County in 2023. By 2045, bus transit services are forecast to serve approximately 57,282 riders per weekday. This represents an average increase of 1,850 weekday riders each year. Based on this rate of ridership growth, weekday ridership is estimated to increase by 40,707 riders per weekday between 2018 and 2045.

The idea behind a uniform mitigation fee is to have new development throughout the region contribute equally to paying the cost of improving the transportation facilities that serve these longer-distance trips between communities. Thus, the fee should be used to improve transportation facilities that serve trips between communities within the region (primarily arterial roadways) as well as the infrastructure for public transportation.

The fee should be assessed proportionately on new residential and non-residential development based on the relative impact of each use on the transportation system. 318

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 viii
ES.4 The TUMF Network
The Regional System of Highways and Arterials (also referred to as the TUMF Network) is the system of roadways that serve inter-community trips within Western Riverside County and therefore are eligible for improvement funding with TUMF funds. Transportation facilities in Western Riverside County that generally satisfied these guidelines were initially identified, and a skeletal regional transportation framework evolved from facilities where several guidelines were observed. Representatives of all WRCOG constituent jurisdictions reviewed this framework in the context of current local transportation plans to define the TUMF Network, which was subsequently endorsed by the WRCOG Public Works Committee, WRCOG Technical Advisory Committee, TUMF Policy Committee and the WRCOG Executive Committee.

The TUMF Network was reviewed as part of the 2024 Nexus Update to ensure facilities generally still met the previously described performance guidelines, and/or that the scope and magnitude of specific improvements to the TUMF Network were roughly proportional to the impacts needing to be mitigated. This review process resulted in the removal of various facilities from the TUMF Network, as well as various changes in the scope and magnitude of specific improvements to the TUMF Network.

Figure ES.3 illustrates the TUMF improvements to the Regional System of Highways and Arterials.

The total cost of improving the TUMF system is $5.28 billion. Accounting for obligated funds and unfunded existing needs, the estimated maximum eligible value of the TUMF Program is $4.24 billion. The maximum eligible value of the TUMF Program includes approximately $3.87 billion in eligible arterial highway and street related improvements and $154.8 million in eligible transit related improvements. An additional $53.9 million is also eligible as part of the TUMF Program to mitigate the impact of eligible TUMF related arterial highway and street projects on critical native species and wildlife habitat, while $161.2 million is provided to cover the costs incurred by WRCOG to administer the TUMF Program.

ES.5 TUMF Nexus Analysis
There is a reasonable relationship between the future growth and the need for improvements to the TUMF system. These factors include:
 Western Riverside County is expected to continue growing as a result of future new development.
 Continuing new growth will result in increasing congestion on arterial roadways.  The future arterial roadway congestion is directly attributable to the cumulative regional transportation impacts of future development in Western Riverside County.  Capacity improvements to the transportation system will be needed to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of new development.
 Roads on the TUMF network are the facilities that merit improvement through this fee program.
 Improvements to the public transportation system will be needed to provide adequate mobility for transit-dependent travelers and to provide an alternative to automobile travel.

The split of fee revenues between the backbone and secondary highway networks is related to the proportion of highway vehicle travel that is relatively local (between adjacent communities) and longer distance (between more distant communities but still within Western Riverside County). To estimate a rational fee split between the respective networks, the future travel forecast estimates were aggregated to a matrix of peak period trips between zones. The overall result is that 51.1% of the regional travel is attributable to the backbone network and 48.9% is assigned to the secondary network.

In order to establish the approximate proportionality of the future traffic impacts associated with new residential development and new non-residential development, peak period growth in VMT between 2018 and 2045 was derived from RivCoM and aggregated by trip purpose. It was concluded that home-based person trips represent

77.7% of the total future person trips, and the non-home-based person trips represent

22.3% of the total future person trips.

ES.6 Fair-Share Fee Calculation
The balance of the unfunded TUMF system improvement needs is $4.24 billion which is the maximum value attributable to the mitigation of the cumulative regional transportation impacts of future new development in the WRCOG region and will be captured through the TUMF Program. By levying the uniform fee directly on future new developments (and indirectly on new residents and new employees to Western Riverside County), these transportation system users are assigned their “fair share” of the 321

costs to address the cumulative impacts of additional traffic they will generate on the regional transportation system.

Of the $4.24 billion in unfunded future improvement needs, 77.7% ($3.30 billion) will be assigned to future new residential development and 22.3% ($946.5 million) will be assigned to future new non-residential development.

ES.7 Conclusions
Based on the results of the Nexus Study evaluation, it can be demonstrated that there is reasonable relationship between the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new land development projects in Western Riverside County and the need to mitigate these transportation impacts using funds levied through the proposed TUMF Program.

Factors that reflect this reasonable relationship include:
 Western Riverside County is expected to continue growing as a result of future new development.
 Continuing new growth will result in increasing congestion on arterial roadways;  The future arterial roadway congestion is directly attributable to the cumulative regional transportation impacts of future development in Western Riverside County;  Capacity improvements to the transportation system will be needed to mitigate the cumulative impacts of new development;
 Roads on the TUMF network are the facilities that merit improvement through this fee program;
 Improvements to the public transportation system will be needed to provide adequate mobility for transit-dependent travelers and to provide an alternative to automotive travel.

The Nexus Study evaluation has established a proportional “fair share” of the improvement cost attributable to new development based on the impacts of existing development and the availability of obligated funding through traditional sources. The fair share fee allocable to future new residential and non-residential development in Western Riverside County is summarized for differing use types in Table ES.1. 322

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THE NEXUS STUDY

1.1 Background

Western Riverside County includes 18 incorporated cities and the unincorporated county covering an area of approximately 2,100 square miles. Through the mid 2000’s, this portion of Riverside County was growing at a pace exceeding the capacity of existing financial resources to meet increasing demand for transportation infrastructure.

Although the economic recession of the late 2000’s, and the associated crises in the mortgage and housing industries, slowed this rate of growth, the regional economy has recovered and the projected rate of development in Western Riverside County remains high. Similarly, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel demand in the region has also passed, with travel demands, especially for the highway network, surpassing pre-pandemic levels.

Continued high growth in households and jobs in Western Riverside County could significantly increase congestion and degrade mobility if substantial investments are not made in transportation infrastructure. This challenge is especially critical for arterial roadways of regional significance, since traditional sources of transportation funding (such as the gasoline tax and local general funds) will not be nearly sufficient to fund the needed improvements. Development exactions only provide improvements near the development site, and the broad-based county-level funding sources (i.e., Riverside County’s half-cent sales tax known as Measure A) designate only a small portion of their revenues for arterial roadway improvements.

In anticipation of the continued future growth projected in Riverside County, several county-wide planning processes were initiated in 1999. These planning processes include the Riverside County General Plan Update, the Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) and the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). Related to these planning processes is the need to fund the mitigation of the cumulative regional transportation impacts of future new development.

Regional arterial highways in Western Riverside County are forecast to carry significant traffic volumes by 2045. While some localized fee programs exist to mitigate the local impacts of new development on the transportation system in specific areas, and while these programs are effective locally, they are insufficient in their ability to meet the regional demand for transportation infrastructure. Former Riverside County Supervisor Buster recognized the need to establish a comprehensive funding source to mitigate the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new development on regional arterial highways. The need to establish a comprehensive funding source for arterial highway improvements has evolved into the development of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) for Western Riverside County.

In February 1999, the cities of Temecula, Murrieta and Lake Elsinore, the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the Building Industry Association (BIA) met to discuss the 324

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 2 concept of a TUMF. The intent of this effort was to have the southwest area of Western Riverside County act as a demonstration for the development of policies and a process for a regional TUMF Program before applying the concept countywide. From February 1999 to September 2000, the Southwest Area Transportation Infrastructure System Funding Year 2020 (SATISFY 2020) Program progressed with policy development, the identification of transportation improvements, traffic modeling, cost estimates, fee scenarios and a draft Implementation Agreement.

In May 2000, Riverside County Supervisor Tavaglione initiated discussions in the northwest area of Western Riverside County to determine the level of interest in developing a TUMF for that area of the county. Interest in the development of a northwest area fee program was high. In August 2000, the WRCOG Executive Committee took action to build upon the work completed in the southwest area for the SATISFY 2020 program and to develop a single consolidated mitigation fee program for all of Western Riverside County. This action was predicated on the desire to establish a single uniform mitigation fee program to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of new development on the regional arterial highway system, rather than multiple discrete and disparate fee programs with varying policies, fees and improvement projects. A TUMF Policy Committee comprising regional elected officials was formed to recommend and set policies for staff to develop the TUMF Program and provide overall guidance to all other staff committees.

While the TUMF cannot fund all necessary transportation system improvements, it is intended to address a current transportation funding shortfall by establishing a new revenue source that ensures future new development will contribute toward addressing its indirect cumulative traffic impacts on regional transportation infrastructure. Funding accumulated through the TUMF Program will be used to construct transportation improvements such as new arterial highway lanes, reconfigured freeway interchanges, railroad grade separations and new regional express bus services that will be needed to accommodate future travel demand in Western Riverside County. By levying a fee on new developments in the region, local agencies will be establishing a mechanism by which developers and in turn new county residents and employees will effectively contribute their “fair share” toward sustaining the regional transportation system.

This TUMF Nexus Study is intended to satisfy the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 5 Section 66000-66008 Fees for Development Projects (also known as California Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600) or the Mitigation Fee Act), which governs imposing development impact fees in California. The Mitigation Fee Act requires that all local agencies in California, including cities, counties, and special districts follow two basic rules when instituting impact fees. These rules are as follows:

1) Establish a nexus or reasonable relationship between the development impact fee’s use and the type of project for which the fee is required. 2) The fee must not exceed the project’s proportional “fair share” of the proposed improvement and cannot be used to correct current problems or to make improvements for existing development.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 3 1.2 TUMF Nexus Study History

The TUMF Program is implemented through the auspices of WRCOG. As the council of governments for Western Riverside County, WRCOG provides a forum for representatives from 18 cities, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, the Eastern Municipal Water District, Western Water, the Riverside County Superintendent of Schools, the March Joint Powers Authority and the Riverside Transit Agency to collaborate on issues that affect the entire subregion, such as air quality, solid waste, transportation and the environment. WRCOG strives to "respect local control, provide regional perspective, and make a difference" to elevate the quality of life throughout the subregion. A current list of the standing WRCOG committees and committee membership that oversee the TUMF program is included in Appendix A.

The initial WRCOG TUMF Nexus Study was completed in October 2002 and adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee in November 2002. Its purpose was to establish the nexus or reasonable relationship between new land development projects in Western Riverside County and the proposed development impact fee that would be used to improve regional transportation facilities. It also identified the proportional “fair share” of the improvement cost attributable to new development.

Consistent with the provisions of the Mitigation Fee Act, the WRCOG Executive Committee has established that the TUMF Nexus Study will be subject of a comprehensive review of the underlying program assumptions at least every five years to confirm the Nexus. Acknowledging the unprecedented and unique nature of the TUMF Program, the Executive Committee determined that the first comprehensive review of the Program should be initiated within two years of initial adoption of the Program primarily to validate the findings and recommendations of the study and to correct any program oversights. The results of the first review of the Program were documented in the TUMF Nexus Study 2005 Update adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee on February 6, 2006. A second comprehensive review of the TUMF Program was conducted in 2008 and 2009 in part to address the impacts of the economic recession on the rate of development within the region and on transportation project costs. The findings of the 2009 review of the program were adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee on October 5, 2009.

A third comprehensive review of the TUMF Program was conducted in 2014 and 2015 leading to a Draft Nexus Study document being distributed for review in August 2015.

The WRCOG Executive Committee subsequently considered comments related to the Draft Nexus Study 2015 Update at the meeting held on September 14, 2015, where it was resolved to “delay finalizing the Nexus Study for the TUMF Program Update until the 2016 Southern California Association of Governments’ 2016 Regional Transportation Plan / Sustainable Communities Strategy growth forecast is available for inclusion in the Nexus Study”. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) adopted the 2016-2040 Regional Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy (2016 RTP/SCS) on April 7, 2016, enabling WRCOG staff to proceed with finalizing the update of the TUMF Nexus Study. The WRCOG TUMF Nexus Study 2016 Update Report was ultimately adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee on July 10, 2017. 326

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 4 On September 3, 2020, SCAG adopted Connect SoCal; The 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy of the Southern California Association of Governments (2020 RTP/SCS). As stated in the plan document “Connect SoCal embodies a collective vision for the region’s future, through the horizon year of 2045. It is developed with input from a wide range of constituents and stakeholders within the Counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura, including public agencies, community organizations, elected officials, tribal governments, the business community and the public. Connect SoCal is an important planning document for the region, allowing public agencies who implement transportation projects to do so in a coordinated manner, while qualifying for federal and state funding.”

The adoption of the 2020 RTP/SCS confirmed new growth forecasts for the region that were used as the basis to develop the Connect SoCal plan. These forecasts also provide a foundational element for updating the TUMF program and the associated nexus determination prompting WRCOG to initiate the current program update. The 2020 RTP/SCS growth forecasts are used directly in the fee calculation as the basis for determining the anticipated growth in households and employment in the region through the program horizon year of 2045. These forecasts are also integrated into the Riverside County Transportation Analysis Model (RivCoM) used to forecast the cumulative regional traffic impacts of new development on the arterial highway network in Western Riverside County.

Completed in 2021 to succeed the Riverside County Traffic Analysis Model (RIVTAM), RivCoM provides a valuable tool for supporting a variety of transportation planning activities in Riverside County, including the update of the TUMF Nexus Study. RivCoM was developed under the leadership of WRCOG in conjunction with regional partners with the intent to provide jurisdictions in Riverside County with a traffic forecasting tool that, while consistent with the SCAG regional travel demand model, provides a more appropriate level of detail to support transportation planning at the County or City level.

RivCoM is a critical tool for quantifying the cumulative regional traffic impacts of new development as part of the TUMF Nexus Study Update. Utilizing the 2020 RTP/SCS growth forecasts, RivCoM is used to quantify changes in travel demand and traffic conditions on the regional highway network, with a specific focus on the TUMF Network.

RivCoM outputs are used to analyze project eligibility and quantify the fair share of traffic growth that is attributable to new development as inputs to determining the fee.

The adoption of the Connect SoCal plan and the availability of RivCoM to serve as a critical tool for quantifying network impacts for the TUMF Nexus Study Update were key factors driving the schedule for this update of the fee.

To ensure new development continues to contribute a fair share of the cost to mitigate its cumulative regional transportation impacts in the period between the comprehensive review of program assumptions completed at least every five years, the WRCOG Executive Committee has also established that the TUMF Schedule of Fees will be reviewed annually, and adjusted, as needed, on July 1 st to reflect current costs. The revised schedule of fees will typically be recalculated in February of each year based 327

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 5 on the percentage increase or decrease in the Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index (CCI) for the twelve (12) month period from January of the prior year to January of the current year, and the percentage increase or decrease in the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Median Sales Price of Existing Single Family Homes in the Riverside/San Bernardino Metropolitan Statistical Area for the twelve (12) month period from the 3rd Quarter of the second year prior to the 3rd Quarter of the prior year (to coincide with the publication of the most recently updated index). If approved by the Executive Committee, the resultant percentage change for each of the indices will be applied to the unit cost assumptions for roadway and bus transit costs, and land acquisition costs, respectively, to reflect the combined effects of changes in eligible project costs on the resultant per unit fee for each defined land use category. The most recent annual cost adjustment to the TUMF Schedule of Fees was adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee on July 12, 2021.

1.3 TUMF Nexus Study Process

In coordination with WRCOG, city and county representatives and other interested parties have reviewed the underlying assumptions of the Nexus Study as part of this comprehensive program review. In particular, the most recent socioeconomic forecasts developed by SCAG as the basis for the 2020 RTP/SCS were incorporated. This use of the most recent SCAG forecasts resulted in a shift of the program base year from 2012 to 2018, as well as a shift in the program horizon year from 2040 to 2045.

Furthermore, the TUMF Network was re-examined in detail based on travel demand forecasts derived from the most recent version of the Riverside County Model (RivCoM) to more accurately reflect future project needs to address the cumulative regional impacts of new development in Western Riverside County as well as eliminating those projects having been completed prior to the commencement of the Nexus review in 2021.

The subsequent chapters of this Nexus Study document describe the various assumptions, data inputs and analysis leading to the determination of each major variable in the TUMF calculation, and ultimately leading to the determination of the TUMF Schedule of Fees that indicates the maximum “fair share” fee for each of the various use types defined in the TUMF program. The overall process for establishing the TUMF nexus is summarized in this section, including the flow chart in Figure 1.1 that illustrates the various technical steps in this fee calculation process. Each technical step that was followed to determine the TUMF Schedule of Fees and establish the program nexus is summarized below, with the numbers denoted on the flow chart correlating to the steps described. The flow chart also incorporates color coding of the steps to indicate those steps that involved the application of RivCoM, steps that utilized other input data, steps that are computations of various inputs, and steps that required specific actions of the various WRCOG committees to confirm major variables. Where appropriate, the flow chart also includes specific cross references to the sections or tables included in this Nexus Study document that correlate to the particular step.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 7 2.3.1. Establish the TUMF Network Project List

The roadway network in Western Riverside County must be evaluated to determine how new development activity will impact the performance of the network, and how the resultant traffic impacts can be mitigated by completing various roadway improvements. The following steps integrate the latest SCAG socio-economic forecasts into RivCoM as the basis for determining future roadway deficiencies and identifying the list of eligible improvements to address these future deficiencies. The rational and methodology for accomplishing these steps is further explained in Chapters 2 and 3 of this report, with the resultant TUMF Network described in Chapter 4.

1) The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS was developed using housing and employment data for 2018 as its base year. This adopted dataset was integrated into RivCoM providing a critical analytic tool to support the Nexus Study Update. 2) The RivCoM model 1 has datasets available that represent the capacity of the different facilities in the road network for several different study years. For this nexus update, the RivCoM 2018 base network that was developed following the adoption of the SCAG 2020 RTP was selected as the one most closely resembling current conditions. This network was subsequently reviewed and updated, including a detailed review by WRCOG staff and participating jurisdictions, to identify projects that were completed on the arterial network in the period between 2016 and December 2021. The arterial network was then recoded to reflect the changes to the TUMF Network to create a 2021 Existing Network as the base network for analysis. A second version of the base network was also developed adding only those facilities that had been identified on the 2016 TUMF network that did not currently exist and therefore were not represented by a link(s) in RivCoM. The Supplemental 2021 Existing Network was utilized as the basis for assessing only those projects that did not currently exist on the TUMF Network.
3) RivCoM was run using the 2018 socio-economic data (SED) and the 2021 Existing Networks to produce the baseline volumes on the roads in the TUMF Network. 4) The baseline volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio was then determined. The target LOS for TUMF facilities is “D”, meaning that facilities with LOS “E” or “F”, i.e. those with a V/C ratio of 0.9 or higher, are deemed to have inadequate capacity. The result of this step is a list of roads that have existing capacity deficiencies.

1 The macro-level traffic forecasting was conducted using the Riverside County Transportation Analysis Model (RivCoM).

RivCoM is consistent of SCAG’s six-county model with additional detail (traffic analysis zones and local roads) added within Riverside County. It was developed for use in traffic studies in Riverside County as a replacement for the Riverside County Transportation and Analysis Model (RivTAM) integrating an updated modeling platform to improve run time and reliability, as well as a more focused model area, more detailed network and zone structure, and prost processors to satisfy more recent legislative requirements. RivCoM has both the geographic scope needed to analyze all TUMF facilities and conformity with regional planning assumptions. There is a memorandum of understanding among the jurisdictions of Riverside County that encourages the use of the RivCoM model for use in regional traffic studies. 330

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 8 5) The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS was developed using housing and employment data for 2045 as its forecast horizon year. This adopted dataset was also used as the future base year for the TUMF update calculation.
6) RivCoM was run using the 2021 Existing Networks with the land use assumptions for 2045. These “Future No-Build” scenarios was used to determine where deficiencies would occur in the roadway system if development occurred as expected but no roadway improvements were implemented.
7) Comparing the existing capacity deficiencies with the future deficiencies showed where new deficiencies would occur that are entirely attributable to growth in households and employment. Comparing the existing and future traffic volume to capacity ratio on the roads that are currently deficient shows the portion of the future deficiency that is attributable to growth. 8) It is generally acknowledged that the TUMF program cannot and should not attempt to fund every roadway improvement needed in Western Riverside County. WRCOG has adopted a set of selection criteria that was used to choose which roadway improvements would be eligible for TUMF funding. 9) The selection criteria were applied to the forecast deficiencies to identify projects for the TUMF Project List. The project list was subsequently reviewed to confirm the eligibility of proposed projects, including projects previously included in the TUMF program, as well as additional projects requested for inclusion as part of the current update. The project list was then subsequently updated to reflect those projects considered eligible for TUMF funding as part of the 2024 Nexus Study Update.

2.3.2. Determine the TUMF Network Project Costs

The estimated costs of proposed improvements on the TUMF Network are calculated based on the prices of construction materials, labor and land values for the various eligible project types included as part of the TUMF program. The approach and outcomes of the following steps is described in Chapter 4 of this report.

10) The TUMF program has design standards covering the road project components that are eligible for TUMF funding. This ensures that projects in jurisdictions with different design standards are treated equally2.
11) Current cost values for labor and materials such as cement, asphalt, reinforcing steel, etc., as derived from Caltrans cost database, RCTC and other sources, were tabulated and updated to December 2023. Additionally, the ROW cost components per square foot for various land use types were also updated based on current property valuations in Riverside County as researched by Overland, Pacific and Cutler.

2 A jurisdiction may choose to design to a higher standard, but if it does so, TUMF will only fund up to the equivalent of what costs would have been had the TUMF design standards been followed. 331

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 9 12) The cost values for the contributing labor, materials and land components were applied to estimated quantities of these components for the various roadway project types that are eligible under TUMF to generate aggregate unit cost values for each project type (road costs per lane-mile, typical costs per arterial- freeway interchange, bridge costs per linear foot, etc.). 13) The unit costs from the previous step were then applied to the project list to estimate the costs of the improvements on the TUMF project list. 14) The percentage of each project that was attributable to new development was then applied to the costs of TUMF road projects to find the total road project cost that is attributable to new development.

2.3.3. Determine the TUMF Transit Component

A portion of the TUMF funding is made available for transit services that provide an alternative to car travel for medium-to-long distance intra-regional trips. The eligible transit projects and their associated costs are determined using the following steps, with additional explanation provided in Chapter 4 of this report. 15) Actual average weekday daily ridership for Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) transit bus services was tabulated for 2023.
16) Forecast average weekday daily ridership for RTA bus transit services was retrieved from the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS Model for horizon year 2045. 17) The growth in ridership between 2023 and 2045 was compared to determine the portion of 2045 average weekday daily ridership that is attributable to existing passengers and the portion attributable to new growth.
18) A proposed transit project list was provided by RTA staff and was reviewed to confirm the validity of the project list to establish a final recommended transit project list to be included as part of the program. The result was the TUMF Transit Project List.
19) RTA provided information on current costs for the listed transit infrastructure. 20) The cost information was then used to determine the cost of the items on the TUMF Transit Project List.
21) The percent attribution from Step 17 was applied to the project cost estimates from the previous step to determine the cost of transit improvements that are attributable to new development.
22) The costs for road and transit projects that are attributable to new development are then combined along with information on other (non-TUMF) funds to determine the total cost for TUMF projects that is to be cover by new development through the imposition of the fees. The available alternate funding sources were reviewed as part of the Nexus update, specifically including the completion of a detailed review of available federal, state and local funding sources administered by RCTC.

332

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 10 2.3.4. Computing the Fee for Residential Developments

Having determined the total project costs to be covered by new development under the TUMF program, it is necessary to divide these costs among different types of developments roughly in proportion to their expected traffic impacts. The following steps describes the process for determining the proportion attributable to new residential development. The approach for accomplishing these steps along with the findings of this analysis are described in detail in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 of this report. 23) California legislation encourages the use of vehicle miles of travel (VMT) as the primary indicator of traffic impacts because it combines the number of vehicle trips and the average length of those trips to reflect the proportional impact to the roadway network. As a result, the methodology for determining the relative distribution of traffic impacts between residential and non-residential uses for the purposes of TUMF utilizes a VMT based approach. The RivCoM 2021 Existing Network and 2045 No-Build model runs were examined to determine the VMT of various trip types that would take place in Western Riverside County (excluding through trips). The results were compared to determine the growth in VMT for each trip type. Per WRCOG policy (based on National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) recommended practice) trips originating in or destined for a home are attributed to residential development while trips where neither the origin nor the destination are a home are attributed to non-residential development.
24) The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS socio-economic forecasts were used to estimate the number of single-family and multi-family dwelling units that will be developed during the 2018 to 2045 period.
25) The Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE’s) trip generation rates, which come from surveys of existing sites for various development types, were then used to estimate the daily number of trips that will be generated by future single- and multi-family developments that will occur in the region from 2018 to 2045. 26) The cost to be covered by residential development was divided into the portion attributable to new single-family dwellings and portion attributable to new multi- family development to calculate the cost share for each use. 27) The cost share for single-family dwellings and multi-family dwellings was divided by the number of dwellings of each type to determine the fee level required from each new dwelling unit to cover their fair share of the cost to mitigate the impacts of new developments.

2.3.5. Computing the Fee for Non-Residential Developments

A process similar to that used for residential units was used to determine the fee level for non-residential development. However, the determination of fees for non-residential development involves additional steps due to the additional complexity of accounting for a greater variety of development types within each use category. Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 of this report provide additional explanation regarding the methodology for accomplishing these steps along with the results of this analysis. 333

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 11 28) Like many impact fee programs, TUMF groups similar development projects together into general use categories to simplify the administration of the program. TUMF groups the various land use categories found in ITE’s Trip Generation Manual into four non-residential categories (industrial, retail, service, and government/public sector) based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which is also used by the U.S. Census Bureau and SCAG for demographic classifications and is the basis for such classifications in the SCAG Regional Travel Demand Model as well as and the RivCoM model. The ITE trip generation rates for all uses were reviewed for accuracy updated to reflect the most current ITE published rates. The median value for the trip- generation rates for all uses within each category was used in the nexus study to represent the trip-generation characteristics for the category. 29) The trip-generation rates of retail and service uses were adjusted to take into account the share of pass-by trips these uses generate. Pass by trip rates for various retail and service uses were derived from the ITE Trip Generation Manual to determine the median value of all uses as the basis for the adjustment. The ITE pass by trip rates for all uses were reviewed for accuracy and updated to reflect the most current ITE published rates.
30) The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS socio economic forecasts included non-residential employment for 2018 and 2045. These forecasts were used to estimate the growth in employment in each of the four non-residential uses. 31) The SCAG employment forecasts are denominated in jobs while development applications are typically denominated in square feet of floorspace. The ratio of floorspace per employee was determined as a median value derived from four studies, including a comprehensive study San Bernardino and Riverside Counties conducted in 1990, an OCTA study conducted in 2001, a SCAG study (including a specific focus on Riverside County) conducted in 2001, and the Riverside County General Plan adopted in 2015.
32) The forecast growth in employees was multiplied by the floorspace per employee to produce a forecast of the floorspace that will be developed for each of the four non-residential use types.
33) The trip-generation rate for each of the four uses was multiplied by the forecast of new floorspace to estimate the number of trips generated by each use. 34) The amount of project costs to be covered by non-residential development was split between the four non-residential uses to determine the TUMF cost share for each.
35) The TUMF cost share for each of the four non-residential uses was divided by the forecast growth in floorspace to determine the fee level required from each new square foot of non-residential development to cover their fair share of the cost to mitigate the impacts of new developments.
36) WRCOG has adopted a TUMF Fee Calculation Handbook that allows for fee adjustments to be made to account for unusual circumstances for certain types of residential and non-residential development (fuel filling stations, golf courses, high-cube warehouses, wineries, electric charging stations, etc.) These 334

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 12 adjustments are intended to calculate a fairer proportional fee based on the unique trip generation characteristics of these development types.

The outcome of this process is a schedule of fees for the various use categories identified as part of the TUMF program. The study conclusions including the Schedule of Fees is presented in Chapter 7 of this report. The schedule of fees represents the maximum fee permissible under California law for the purposes of the TUMF program.

The WRCOG Executive Committee has the option to adopt lower fees, however, in doing so each use category subject to a lower fee would not be contributing a fair share of the cost of their impacts. This would in turn create a funding gap for the program that would necessitate identifying additional project funding from some other source to ensure the cumulative regional impacts of new development are being mitigated fully in accordance with the program.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 13 2.0 FUTURE GROWTH

2.1 Recent Historical Trend

Western Riverside County experienced robust growth in the period from the late 1990’s to the mid 2000’s. The results of Census 2000 indicate that in the year 2000, Western Riverside County had a population of 1.187 million representing a 30% increase (or 2.7% average annual increase) from the 1990 population of 912,000. Total employment in Western Riverside County in 2000 was estimated by the SCAG to be 381,000 representing a 46% increase (or 3.9% average annual increase) over the 1990 employment of 261,000.

Despite the impacts of the Great Recession and the associated residential mortgage and foreclosure crisis, and more recently with the shifting of population during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, Western Riverside County has continued to grow due to the availability of relatively affordable residential and commercial property, and a generally well-educated workforce. By 2010, the population of the region had grown to 1.742 million, a further 47% growth in population from 2000. Similarly, total employment in the region had also grown from 2000 to 2010 with 434,000 employees estimated to be working in Western Riverside County. This represents a 12% increase from the 381,000 employees working in the region in 2000.

2.2 Available Demographic Data

A variety of alternate demographic information that quantifies future population, household and employment growth is available for Western Riverside County. For earlier versions of the TUMF Nexus Study, the primary available source of consolidated demographic information for Western Riverside County was provided by SCAG. SCAG is the largest of nearly 700 Councils of Government (COG) in the United States and functions as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for six counties in Southern California including Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura and Imperial. SCAG is mandated by the federal government to research and plan for issues of regional significance including transportation and growth management. As part of these responsibilities, SCAG maintains a comprehensive database of regional socioeconomic data and develops demographic projections and travel demand forecasts for Southern California.

In preparation for the 2020 RTP/SCS, SCAG undertook robust stakeholder engagement, including participation by WRCOG, Riverside County and the various cities in Western Riverside County, to develop regional demographic forecasts. Using input from regional stakeholders regarding anticipated patterns and rates of development, SCAG compiled and disseminated the forecasts that were ultimately adopted in 2020, including those specific to Western Riverside County. The SCAG forecasts adopted for the 2020 RTP/SCS were subsequently used as the basis for RivCoM and are used as the basis for this TUMF Nexus Study Update.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 14 2.3 Demographic Assumptions Used for the Nexus Study Analysis

A major distinction between data used for the TUMF Nexus Study 2016 Update and the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS data used for this 2024 Update is the change in the base year from 2012 to 2018, as well as the change in the horizon year from 2040 to 2045. This shift in the base year and horizon year demographic assumptions of the program carries through all aspects of the nexus analysis, including the travel demand forecasting, network review and fee calculation.

The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS data were compared to the 2016 RTP/SCS data used in the TUMF Nexus Study 2016 Update. As can be seen in Table 2.1 and Figure 2.1, the 2018 data reflects an increase in population and single-family households, and a very slight decline in multi-family households. Employment grew substantially overall, with significant growth in industrial employment, largely attributable to the rapid expansion of warehousing and logistics facilities in Western Riverside County. In contrast, there was a notable decline in government and public sector employment in the region from 2012 to 2018

Table 2.2 and Figure 2.2 compare the socioeconomic forecasts for the program horizon year of 2045 used in the TUMF Nexus Study 2016 Update and 2045 for this study. The most recent forecasts reflect an increase in the horizon year population and households, and a decrease in overall employment in Western Riverside County. The change in employment was not, however, consistent across sectors. The retail employment forecast has decreased approximately 15% from 2040 to 2045, while the industrial employment forecast has increased over 20%. This shift is consistent with the emergence of e-commerce as an alternative to traditional “brick and mortar” retail. 338

The combined effects of the changes in the base year and horizon year socioeconomic data are modest reductions in the total growth in population and single-family households, but a notable increase in multi-family households. The change in total employment is reduced by 31%, with the most significant reduction in employment growth in the retail sector (-63%), while the industrial sector saw only a slight reduction in total employment growth compared to the 2016 Nexus Update (5%).

The Government/public sector employment growth has increased by 27% from the 2016 Nexus Study to the 2024 Nexus Study, although the total number of jobs increased is relatively small as a share of the total employment. Table 2.4 and Figure 2.4 provide a comparison of the changes in population, households and employment between the 2016 Nexus Update and the 2024 Nexus Update. The table and figure clearly illustrate the reduction in the rate of growth in Western Riverside County largely attributable to the effects of the economic recession. This reduced rate of growth in the region will serve as the basis for reevaluating the level of impact of new development on the transportation system in the next section, as well as providing the basis for the determination of the fair share fee for each land use type.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 21 3.0 NEED FOR THE TUMF

All new developments have some effect on the transportation infrastructure in a community, city or county due to an increase in travel demand. Increasing usage of the transportation facilities leads to more traffic, progressively increasing VMT, traffic congestion and decreasing the level of service (LOS) 3. To meet the increased travel demand and keep traffic flowing, improvements to transportation facilities become necessary to sustain pre-development traffic conditions.

The projected growth in Western Riverside County (33% growth in population and 48% growth in employment in 27 years) and the related growth in VMT can be expected to increase congestion and degrade mobility if substantial investments are not made in the transportation infrastructure. This challenge is especially critical for arterial highways and roadways that carry a significant number of the trips between cities, since traditional sources of transportation improvement funding (such as the gasoline tax and local general funds) will not be nearly sufficient to fund the improvements needed to serve new development. Development exactions generally provide only a fraction of the improvements with those being confined to the area immediately adjacent to the respective development, and the broad-based county-level funding sources (i.e., Riverside County’s half-cent sales tax known as Measure A) designate only a small portion of their revenues for arterial roadway improvements.

This section documents the existing and future congestion levels that demonstrate the need for future improvements to the transportation system to specifically mitigate the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new development. It then describes the TUMF concept that has been developed to fund future new developments’ fair share of needed improvements.

The forecast of future congestion levels is derived from Year 2045 No-Build travel demand forecasts for Western Riverside County developed using RivCoM. The Year 2045 No-Build scenario evaluates the effects of 2045 population, employment and resultant traffic generation on the 2021 existing arterial highway network.

3.1 Future Highway Congestion Levels

To support the evaluation of the cumulative regional impacts of new development on the existing arterial highway system in Western Riverside County, existing (2018) and future (2045) SED were modeled on the existing (2021) arterial highway network using RivCoM. To quantify traffic growth impacts, various traffic measures of effectiveness were calculated for the AM and PM peak periods for each of the two scenarios. The

3 The Highway Capacity Manual 6 th Edition – A Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (Transportation Research Board, National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C., 2016, Volume 1 – Concepts, pp 5-3) describes LOS as a “quantitative stratification of performance measure or measures representing quality of service….HCM defines six levels of service, ranging from A to F, for each service measure or combination of measures. LOS A represents the best operating conditions from the traveler’s perspective and LOS F the worst.” 344

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 22 WRCOG TUMF study area was extracted from the greater regional model network for the purpose of calculating measures for Western Riverside County only. Peak period performance measures for the Western Riverside County TUMF study area included total VMT, total vehicle hours of travel (VHT), total combined vehicle hours of delay (VHD), and total VMT experiencing unacceptable level of service (LOS E). These results were tabulated in Table 3.1. Plots of the Network Extents are attached in Appendix C.

Total Arterial VMT, VHT, VHD and LOS E Threshold VMT were calculated to include all principal arterials, minor arterials and major connectors, respectively. Regional values for each threshold were calculated for a total of all facilities including arterials, freeways, freeway ramps and High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 23 The following formulas were used to calculate the respective values:

The calculated values were compared to assess the total change between 2018 Existing and 2045 No-Build scenarios, and the average annual change between 2018 Existing and 2044 No-Build. As can be seen from the RivCoM outputs summarized in Table 3.1, the additional traffic generated by new development will cause peak period VMT on the arterial highway network to increase by approximately 47% by the year 2045 (approximately 1.4% per year). In the absence of additional improvements to the transportation network in Western Riverside County, the growth in VMT will cause congestion on the highway system to increase almost exponentially, with the most significant increase in congestion observed on the arterial highway system that includes the TUMF Network. Many facilities will experience a significant increase in vehicle delay and deterioration in LOS to unacceptable levels because of new development and the associated growth in traffic. According to the Highway Capacity Manual 6 th Edition – A Guide for Multimodal Mobility Analysis (Transportation Research Board, National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C., 2016), “LOS E describes operation at or near capacity. Operations…at this level are highly volatile because there are virtually no usable gaps within the traffic stream, leaving little room to maneuver within the traffic stream. Any disruption to the traffic stream, such as vehicles entering…or a vehicle changing lanes, can establish a disruption wave that propagates throughout the upstream traffic stream….the physical and psychological comfort afforded drivers is poor.”

The Congestion Management Program for Riverside County (CMP) published by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) in 2011 designates LOS E as the “traffic standards must be set no lower than LOS E for any segment or intersection along the CMP System of Highways and Roadways” in Riverside County. “The intent of the CMP is to more directly link land use, transportation, and air quality, thereby prompting reasonable growth management programs that will effectively utilize new transportation funds, alleviate traffic congestion and related impacts, and improve air quality.” 4 The CMP provides a mechanism for monitoring congestion on the highway system and, where congestion is observed, establishes procedures for developing a deficiency plan to address improvement needs. The reactive nature of the CMP to identify and remediate existing congestion differs from the proactive nature of the TUMF program to anticipate and provide for future traffic needs. For this reason, the TUMF

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 24 program follows the guidance of the Highway Capacity Manual in establishing LOS E as the threshold for unacceptable level of service, and subsequently as the basis for measuring system performance and accounting for existing needs. This approach ensures a more conservative accounting of existing system needs as part of the determination of the “fair share” of mitigating the cumulative regional impacts of future new development on the transportation system.

The continuing need for a mitigation fee on new development is shown by the adverse impact that new development will have on Western Riverside County’s transportation infrastructure, and particularly the arterial highway network. As a result of the new development and associated growth in population and employment in Western Riverside County, additional pressure will be placed on the transportation infrastructure with the total peak period VMT on the Western Riverside County Regional System of Highways and Arterials (RSHA; also referred to as the TUMF Network) estimated to increase by approximately 38% or 1.2% compounded annually.

As shown in Table 3.1, the peak period VMT on arterial facilities within the TUMF Network experiencing LOS E or worse will increase by approximately 316% or 5.4% compounded annually in Western Riverside County in the period between 2018 and 2045. By 2045, 37% of the total VMT on the TUMF arterial highway system is forecast to be traveling on facilities experiencing daily LOS E or worse. Without improvements to the TUMF arterial highway system, the total vehicle hours of delay (VHD) experienced by area motorists on TUMF arterial highways during the peak periods will increase by approximately 5.0% per year. The combined influences of increased travel demand and worsened LOS that manifest themselves in severe congestion and delay highlighting the continuing need to complete substantial capacity expansion on the TUMF arterial highway system to mitigate the cumulative regional impact of increased travel demand resulting from new development.

The RivCoM outputs summarized in Table 3.1 clearly demonstrate that the travel demands generated by future new development in the region will lead to increasing levels of traffic congestion, especially on the arterial roadways. The need to improve these roadways to accommodate the anticipated growth in VMT and relieve future congestion is therefore directly linked to the future development which generates the additional travel demand.

3.2 Future Transit Utilization Levels

In addition to the roadway network, public transportation will play a role in serving future travel demand in the region. Transit represents a critical component of the transportation system by providing an alternative mode choice for those not wanting to use an automobile, and particularly for those who do not readily have access to an automobile. As population and employment in Western Riverside County grows because of new development, demand for regional transit services in the region is also expected to grow.

347

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 25 While some future transit trips will be accommodated by inter-regional transit services such as Metrolink, a substantial number of the trips within Western Riverside County will be served by bus transit services and for this reason the provision of regional bus transit service is considered integral to addressing the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new developments. Regional bus transit services within Western Riverside County are primarily provided by RTA.

In 2023, RTA reported average weekday daily ridership of 16,575 on their network of buses5. The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS forecasts for RTA average weekday daily ridership in 2045 is 57,282. These values were used to represent the existing and future transit trips consistent with the analysis of highway trips described in Section 3.1. The existing and future transit ridership were compared to assess the impact of new development on transit demand. Average weekday daily ridership would be expected to grow by 40,707 between 2023 and 2045, or an average increase of 1,850 weekday daily riders each year. Average weekday daily system ridership is summarized in Appendix D.

The future growth in demand for public transit services is reflective of the cumulative regional impacts of new development, and the associated increase in demand for all types of transportation infrastructure and services to accommodate this growth.

Furthermore, bus transit ridership is expected to grow as the improved services being planned and implemented by RTA attract new riders and encourages existing riders to use transit more often as an alternative to driving. Attracting additional riders to bus transit services contributes to the mitigation of the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new development by reducing the number of trips that need to be served on the highway system. The need to provide additional bus transit services within Western Riverside County to satisfy this future demand is therefore directly linked to the future development that generates the demand.

3.3 The TUMF Concept

A sizable percentage of trip-making for any given local community extends beyond the bounds of the individual community as residents pursue employment, education, shopping and entertainment opportunities elsewhere. As new development occurs within a particular local community, this dispersal of trips of all purposes by new residents and the new business that serve them generates additional travel demand and contributes to the need for transportation improvements within their community and in the other communities of Western Riverside County. The idea behind a uniform mitigation fee is to have new development throughout the region contribute uniformly to paying the fair share cost of improving the transportation facilities that serve these trips between communities. Thus, the fee is intended to be used primarily to improve

5 RTA, like most public transportation agencies, have seen significant short-term declines in transit ridership resulting from changes in travel demands, mode choice and trip distribution following the COVID-19 pandemic. RTA’s 2016 actual average weekday daily ridership was 30,700. Post COVID-19, the RTA actual average weekday daily ridership in 2023 was 16,575, a decline of almost 50% of pre-pandemic ridership levels. These levels would be expected to continue to recover toward pre-pandemic levels as potential riders resume more regular work schedules, and apprehension toward the use of transit services for public health reasons wane.
348

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 26 transportation facilities that serve trips between communities within the region (in particular, arterial roadways and regional bus transit services).

Some roadways serve trips between adjacent communities, while some also serve trips between more distant communities within the region. The differing roadway functions led to the concept of using a portion of the fee revenues for a backbone system of arterial roadways that serve the longer-distance trips (i.e. using TUMF revenues from the entire region), while using a second portion of the fee revenues for a secondary system of arterials that serve inter-community trips within a specific subregion or zone (i.e. using TUMF revenues from the communities most directly served by these roads – to some extent, a return-to-source of that portion of the funds). Reflecting the importance of public transit to provide an alternative to highway travel as part of a balanced regional transportation strategy, a third portion of fee revenues was reserved for improvements to regional bus transit services (i.e. using TUMF revenues from the entire region).

Much, but not all, of the new trip-making in each area is generated by residential development (i.e. when people move into new homes, they create new trips on the transportation system as they travel to work, school, shopping or entertainment). Some of the new trips are generated simply by activities associated with new businesses (i.e. new businesses will create new trips through the delivery of goods and services, etc.).

Apart from commute trips by residents coming to and from work, and the trips of residents coming to and from new businesses to get goods and services, the travel demands of new businesses are not considered to be directly attributable to residential development. The consideration of different sources of new travel demand is therefore reflected in the concept of assessing both residential and non-residential development for their related transportation impacts.

In summary, the TUMF concept includes the following:

 A uniform fee that is levied on new development throughout Western Riverside County.

 The fee is assessed roughly proportionately on new residential and non-residential development based on the relative impact of each new use on the transportation system.

 A portion of the fee is used to fund capacity improvements on a backbone system of arterial roadways that serve longer-distance trips within the region; a portion of the fee is returned to the subregion or zone in which it was generated to fund capacity improvements on a secondary system of arterial roadways that link the communities in that area; and a portion of the fee is used to fund improvements to regional bus transit services that serve trips between the communities within the region.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 27 4.0 THE TUMF NETWORK

4.1 Identification of the TUMF Roadway Network

An integral element of the initial Nexus Study was the designation of the Western Riverside County Regional System of Highways and Arterials. This network of regionally significant highways represents those arterial and collector highway and roadway facilities that primarily support inter-community trips in Western Riverside County and supplement the regional freeway system. As a result, this system also represents the extents of the network of highways and roadways that would be eligible for TUMF funded improvements. The TUMF Network does not include the freeways of Western Riverside County as these facilities primarily serve longer distance inter-regional trips and a significant number of pass-through trips that have no origin or destination in Western Riverside County6.

The TUMF Network is the system of roadways that serve inter-community trips within Western Riverside County and therefore are eligible for improvement funding with TUMF funds. The RSHA for Western Riverside County was identified based on several transportation network and performance guidelines as follows:

1. Arterial highway facilities proposed to have a minimum of four lanes at ultimate build-out (not including freeways).

2. Facilities that serve multiple jurisdictions and/or provide connectivity between communities both within and adjoining Western Riverside County.

3. Facilities with forecast traffic volumes exceeding 20,000 vehicles per day in the future horizon year.

4. Facilities with forecast volume to capacity ratio of 0.90 (LOS E) or greater in the future horizon year.

5. Facilities that accommodate regional fixed route transit services.

6. Facilities that provide direct access to major commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational or tourist activity centers, and multi-modal transportation facilities (such as airports, railway terminals and transit centers).

Transportation facilities in Western Riverside County that generally satisfied these guidelines were initially identified, and a skeletal regional transportation framework evolved from facilities where several guidelines were observed. Representatives of all WRCOG constituent jurisdictions reviewed this framework in the context of current local transportation plans to define the TUMF Network, which was subsequently endorsed by

6 Since pass-through trips have no origin or destination in Western Riverside County, new development within Western Riverside County cannot be considered responsible for mitigating the impacts of pass-through trips. The impact of pass- through trips and the associated cost to mitigate the impact of pass-through trips (and other inter-regional freeway trips) is addressed in the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) Western Riverside County Freeway Strategic Plan, Phase II – Detailed Evaluation and Impact Fee Nexus Determination, Final Report dated May 31, 2008. 350

The RSHA is illustrated in Figure 4.1 . As stated previously, the RSHA represents those regional significant highway facilities that primarily serve inter-community trips in Western Riverside County and therefore also represents the extents of the network of highways and roadways that would be eligible for TUMF funded improvements.

The TUMF Network was reviewed as part of the 2024 Nexus Update to ensure facilities generally still met the previously described performance guidelines, and/or that the scope and magnitude of specific improvements to the TUMF Network were roughly proportional to the impacts needing to be mitigated. This review process resulted in the removal of various facilities from the TUMF Network, as well as various changes in the scope and magnitude of specific improvements to the TUMF Network. The resulting TUMF Network used as the basis for this Nexus Update is discussed in Section 4.3 of this report.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 30 4.2 Backbone Network and Secondary Network

As indicated previously, the TUMF roadway network was refined to distinguish between facilities of “Regional Significance” and facilities of “Zonal Significance.” Facilities of Regional Significance were identified as those that typically are proposed to have a minimum of six lanes at general plan build-out 7, extend across and/or between multiple Area Planning Districts 8, and are forecast to carry at least 25,000 vehicles per day in 2045. The Facilities of Regional Significance have been identified as the “backbone” highway network for Western Riverside County. A portion of the TUMF fee is specifically designated for improvement projects on the backbone system. The backbone network is illustrated in Figure 4.2.

Facilities of Zonal Significance (the “secondary” network) represent the balance of the RSHA for Western Riverside County. These facilities are typically within one zone and carry comparatively lesser traffic volumes than the backbone highway network, although they are considered significant for circulation within the respective zone. A portion of the TUMF is specifically designated for improvement projects on the secondary network within the zone in which it is collected. The WRCOG APD or zones are illustrated in Figure 4.3.

7 Although facilities were identified based on the minimum number of lanes anticipated at general plan buildout, in some cases it was determined that there was not sufficient demand for all additional lanes on some facilities until beyond the current timeframe of the TUMF Program (2045). As a result, only a portion of the additional lanes on these facilities have currently been identified for funding with TUMF revenues, reflecting the cumulative impact of new development through the current duration of the TUMF Program.
8 Area Planning Districts (APD) are the five aggregations of communities used for regional planning functions within the WRCOG area. Area Planning Districts are interchangeably referred to as TUMF Zones.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 33 4.3 Future Roadway Transportation Needs

To calculate a “fair share” fee for new development, it is necessary to estimate the cost of improvements on the TUMF system that will be needed to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of future transportation demands created by new development.

Estimates of the cost to improve the network to mitigate the cumulative impacts of new development were originally developed based on unit costs prepared for the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) Regional Arterial Cost Estimate (RACE)9, and the WRCOG Southwest District SATISFY 2020 Summary of Cost Estimates 10 (TKC/WRCOG 2000). The RACE cost estimates were developed based on a summary of actual construction costs for projects constructed in Riverside County in 1998.

The initial unit cost estimates for the TUMF (based on inflated RACE cost estimates) were reviewed in the context of the SATISFY 2020 Draft Cost Estimates and were consolidated to provide typical improvement costs for each eligible improvement type. The refinement of unit costs was completed to simplify the process of estimating the cost to improve the entire TUMF network. Based on RACE and SATISFY 2020, consolidated cost estimates included typical per mile or lump sum costs for each of the improvement types eligible under the TUMF Program. The resultant revised unit cost estimates were used as the basis for estimating the cost to complete the necessary improvements to the TUMF network to mitigate the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new development.

Variations in the consolidated cost estimates for specific improvement types were provided to reflect differences in topography and land use across the region. Unit costs for roadway construction were originally varied to account for variations in construction cost (in particular, roadway excavation and embankment cost) associated with construction on level (code 1) rolling (code 2) and mountainous (code 3) terrain, respectively. Right-of-way acquisition costs which originally included consideration for land acquisition, documentation and legal fees, relocation and demolition costs, condemnation compensation requirements, utility relocation, and environmental mitigation costs were also varied to account for variations in right-of-way costs associated with urban (developed commercial/residential mixed uses – code 1), suburban (developed residential uses – code 2) and rural (undeveloped uses – code 3) land uses, respectively. Lump sum costs for interchange improvements were originally varied to account for variations in cost associated with new complex, new standard (or fully reconstructed), or major (or partially reconstructed) or minor (individual ramp improvements) interchange improvements.

As part of the 2024 TUMF Nexus Update, the original unit cost categories were revised to generate entirely new unit cost values based on the most recent available construction cost, labor cost and land acquisition cost values for comparable projects within Riverside County. The recalculation of the TUMF unit cost components was completed

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 34 as part of the 2024 Nexus Update to reflect the effects of significant changes in materials, labor and land acquisition costs including the influences of supply chain disruptions during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, and the elevated rates of inflation prevailing in the past few years. Appendix F provides a detailed outline of the assumptions and methodology leading to the revised TUMF unit cost assumptions developed as part of the 2024 Nexus Update. A new category was also added to the cost assumptions to facilitate the use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to enhance traffic flows in arterial corridors that require mitigation but cannot accommodate construction of addition lane capacity.

Section 8.5.1 of the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP) Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on June 17, 2003, states that “each new transportation project will contribute to Plan implementation. Historically, these projects have budgeted 3% - 5% of their construction costs to mitigate environmental impacts.” This expectation is reiterated in the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Nexus Fee Study Update (Economic & Planning Systems, Inc., October 2020) Section 6 which indicates that “about 44% of the revenue for the program” is expected to be derived from non-fee sources, including ” the Measure A sales tax which is authorized through 2039 and other transportation funding sources such as the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF).” Consistent with the MSHCP Nexus Report, an amount equal to 5% of the construction cost for new TUMF network lanes, bridges and railroad grade separations will be specifically included as part of TUMF Program with revenues to be provided to the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) for the acquisition of land identified in the MSHCP. The relevant sections of the MSHCP document and the most recent MSHCP Nexus Report are included in Appendix F.

Table 4.1 summarizes the unit cost estimate assumptions used to develop the TUMF network cost estimate as part of the current Nexus Update. Table 4.1 also includes a comparison of the original TUMF unit cost assumptions and the 2016 Nexus Study unit cost assumptions that demonstrates the significant increases in unit costs observed during recent years. In most cases the unit cost assumptions have more than doubled from those used for the 2016 Nexus Study. Cost estimates are provided in current year values as indicated.

To estimate the cost of improving the regional network to provide for traffic growth from new development, the network characteristics and performance guidelines (outlined in Section 4.1 ) were initially used as a basis for determining the needed improvements.

The initial list of improvements was then compared with local General Plan Circulation Elements to ensure that the TUMF network included planned arterial roadways of regional significance. A consolidated list of proposed improvements and the unit cost assumptions were then used to establish an initial estimate of the cost to improve the network to mitigate for future traffic growth associated with new development. This initial list of proposed improvements has since been revised and updated as part of each subsequent Nexus Update to reflect the completion of projects, changing levels of development and associated changes in travel demand and transportation system impacts to be mitigated as part of the TUMF program.

As indicated in Table 2.4 and Figure 2.4, the anticipated rate of forecasted growth in Western Riverside County has been reduced by 4% for population, 3% for single-family residential and 31% for employment. This reduced rate of forecasted socioeconomic growth has a commensurate impact on the forecasted daily traffic in the region as demonstrated by the 2016 Nexus Study VMT compared to the 2024 Nexus Update VMT in Table 4.2. As shown in the table, the forecast peak period VMT on the TUMF arterial network in the year 2045 as the basis for the 2024 Nexus Update is more than 5% less than the comparable peak period VMT for 2040 used for the 2016 Nexus Study.

As a result of the reduced forecast traffic growth in the region, it is anticipated that the cumulative regional impacts of new development on the arterial highway and transit systems in the region is also reduced necessitating a reduction in the projects identified on the TUMF Network to mitigate the impacts of new development. As part of the 2024 Nexus Update, the list of proposed improvements included in the initial Nexus Study and validated during the subsequent Nexus updates was reviewed for accuracy and, where necessary, amended to remove or modify projects that have changed in need to mitigate impacts based on changes in the patterns of growth and travel demand within the region. Projects completed since the adoption of the 2016 Nexus Update were also removed from the network to reflect the fact that mitigation at these locations is no longer required. The specific network changes were screened by the WRCOG Public Works Committee for consistency with TUMF network guidelines including travel demand and traffic performance.

Based on the findings of the network screening, elements of specific projects were revised to reflect necessary network corrections and modifications to project assumptions. A matrix summarizing the disposition of the requests received as part of the 2024 TUMF Nexus Update was developed and is included in Appendix G.

Eligible arterial highway and street improvement types to mitigate the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new development on Network facilities include:

1. Construction of additional Network roadway lanes

2. Construction of new Network roadway segments

3. Expansion of existing Network bridge structures

4. Construction of new Network bridge structures

5. Expansion of existing Network interchanges with freeways

6. Construction of new Network interchanges with freeways

7. Grade separation of existing Network at-grade railroad crossings

8. Installation of ITS along Network roadway segments

All eligible improvement types, except for ITS, provide additional capacity to Network facilities to accommodate future traffic growth generated by new development in Western Riverside County. ITS provides the ability to improve traffic flows along corridors 359

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 37 where capacity expansion is not possible. Following the comprehensive update of the TUMF Program, the estimated total cost to improve the RSHA for Western Riverside County is $4.84 billion with this cost including all arterial highway and street planning, engineering, design, right-of-way acquisition and capital construction costs, but not including transit, MSHCP or program administration costs that will be subsequently described. It should be noted that the full cost to improve the TUMF Network cannot be entirely attributed to new development and must be adjusted to account for the previous obligation of other funds to complete necessary improvements and unfunded existing needs. Sections 4.5 and 4.6 describe the adjustments to the total TUMF Network improvement need to account for existing needs and obligated funds.

In addition to the arterial highway and street improvement costs indicated above, the TUMF Nexus Update included specific consideration for the TUMF Program obligation to the MSHCP program to mitigate the impact of TUMF network improvements on species and habitat within Western Riverside County. The TUMF obligation to MSHCP was calculated at a rate of 5% of the total construction (capital) cost of new lane segments, bridges and railroad grade separations on the TUMF Network. The total obligation to the MSHCP as indicated in the TUMF Network cost fee table is approximately $64.6 million, although the total obligation specific to the TUMF program is reduced to account for MSHCP obligations associated with improvements addressing existing needs and therefore excluded from TUMF.

The TUMF 2024 Nexus Update similarly includes specific consideration of the costs associated with WRCOG administration of the TUMF Program. The average cost for WRCOG to administer the TUMF Program was calculated at a rate of 4% of the total eligible cost of new lane segments (including interchanges, bridges and railroad grade separations) on the TUMF Network and new transit services. Administration costs incurred by WRCOG include direct salary, fringe benefit and overhead costs for WRCOG staff assigned to administer the program and support participating jurisdictions, and costs for consultant, legal and auditing services to support the implementation of the TUMF program. The total cost for WRCOG administration of the TUMF Program as indicated in the TUMF Network cost fee table is approximately $161.2 million.

The detailed TUMF network cost calculations are provided in Section 4.7, including each of the individual segments and cost components considered as part of the TUMF Program, and the maximum eligible TUMF share for each segment following adjustments for obligated funding and unfunded existing needs as described in subsequent sections.

4.4 Public Transportation Component of the TUMF System

In addition to the roadway network, public transportation plays a key role in serving future travel demand in the region. Public transportation serving inter-community trips is generally provided in the form of public bus transit services and in particular express bus or other high frequency services between strategically located community transit centers. In Western Riverside County, these bus transit services are typically provided by 360

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 38 RTA. Transit needs to serve future regional travel in Western Riverside County via bus transit include vehicle acquisitions, transit centers, express bus stop upgrades, maintenance facilities and other associated capital improvements to develop express bus or other high frequency inter-community transit bus services within the region.

Metrolink commuter rail service improvements were not included in the TUMF Program as they typically serve longer inter-regional commute trips equivalent to freeway trips on the inter-regional highway system.

The network of regionally significant bus transit services represents those express bus and other high frequency transit bus services that primarily support inter-community trips in Western Riverside County and supplement the regional highway system and inter- regional commuter rail services. As a result, this portion of the bus transit system also represents the extents of the network of bus services that would be eligible for TUMF funded improvements.

The TUMF Bus Transit Network is the system of bus services that serve inter-community trips within Western Riverside County and therefore are eligible for improvement funding with TUMF funds. The Bus Transit Network for Western Riverside County was identified based on several transit network and performance guidelines as follows:

1. Bus transit routes (or corridors comprised of multiple overlapping routes) proposed to have a frequency of greater than three buses per direction during peak hours at ultimate build out.

2. Routes or corridors that serve multiple jurisdictions and/or provide connectivity between communities, both within and adjoining western Riverside County.

3. Routes or corridors with forecast weekday bus ridership in excess of 1,000 person trips per day by 2040.

4. Routes or corridors that are proposed to provide timed interconnections with at least four other routes or corridors at ultimate build out.

5. Routes or corridors that utilize the majority of travel along the TUMF RSHA.

6. Routes or corridors that provide direct access to areas of forecast population and employment growth, major commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational or tourist activity centers, and multi-modal transportation facilities (such as airports, railway terminals and transit centers).

Express bus routes and other high-frequency bus transit routes and corridors in Western Riverside County that generally satisfied the respective guidelines were identified by RTA. Updated cost estimates for improving the infrastructure serving public transportation, including construction of transit centers and transfer facilities, express bus stop upgrades, and capital improvements needed to develop express bus and other high frequency bus transit service within the region were also provided by RTA.

The updated transit unit cost data provided by RTA are shown in Table 4.3.

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 40 4.5 Existing Obligated Funding

For some of the facilities identified in the TUMF network, existing obligated funding has previously been secured through traditional funding sources to complete necessary improvements. Since funding has been obligated to provide for the completion of needed improvements to the TUMF system, the funded cost of these improvements will not be recaptured from future developments through the TUMF Program. As a result, the TUMF network cost was adjusted accordingly to reflect the availability of obligated funds.

To determine the availability of obligated funds, WRCOG staff, in conjunction with RCTC staff, completed a review of the current Federal Transportation improvement Program (FTIP) to identify TUMF eligible projects that were also programmed to receive funding from alternate sources. A table summarizing the obligated funds for segments of the TUMF network is included in Appendix H. A total of $382.9 million in obligated funding was identified for improvements to the TUMF system. The estimated total TUMF network project cost was subsequently reduced by this amount.

4.6 Unfunded Existing Improvement Needs

A review of the existing traffic conditions on the TUMF network (as presented in Table

3.1) indicates that some segments of the roadways on the TUMF system currently experience congestion and operate at unacceptable levels of service. In addition, demand for inter-community transit service already exists and future utilization of proposed inter-community transit services will partially satisfy this existing demand. The need to improve these portions of the system is generated, at least in part, by existing demand, rather than solely the cumulative regional impacts of future new development, so future new development cannot be assessed for the equivalent cost share of improvements providing for this existing need.

To account for existing need in the TUMF Network, the cost for facilities identified as currently experiencing LOS E or F was adjusted. This was done by identifying the portion of any segment of the TUMF Network with a volume to capacity (v/c) ratio of greater than 0.9 (the threshold for LOS E) in the RivCoM 2018 Existing scenario and extracting the share of the overall facility cost to improve that portion. This cost adjustment provides for the mitigation of incremental traffic growth on those TUMF segments with an existing high level of congestion. The following approach was applied to account for incremental traffic growth associated with new development as part of the existing need methodology:

1. Facilities with an existing need were identified by reviewing the RivCoM 2018 Existing scenario assigned traffic on the 2021 existing network and delineating 363

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 41 those facilities included on the TUMF Cost Fee Summary Table that have an average directional v/c exceeding 0.9011.
a. Weighted directional v/c values were used to determine existing need for network segments, which was calculated by:
i. Determining the length for the portion of each segment (model link), and calculating the ratio of link length to the overall segment length
ii. Generating the average directional v/c for each link, for both directions in AM and PM periods, and multiplying by link/segment length ratio
iii. Determining the maximum peak-period peak-direction v/c for each link, representing the highest directional v/c in either AM or PM
iv. Calculating weighted average v/c for each TUMF segment, based on the sum of all weighted max v/c values of each link within a segment

b. A similar method was used to determine existing need for spot improvements including interchanges, railroad crossings and bridges.

However, no weighting was used in the calculation of existing need for spot improvements. For these facilities, the peak-period peak-direction v/c values (highest directional v/c in either AM or PM) were utilized in the existing need calculation. This was based on the individual link within a network segment where a bridge or railroad crossing is located, or on- and off-ramps in the case of interchanges.

2. Initial costs of addressing the existing need were calculated by estimating the share of a particular roadway segments “new lane” cost, or individual spot improvement cost (including all associated ROW and soft costs).

3. Incremental growth in v/c was determined by comparing the average directional exisitng year v/c for the TUMF facilities (delineated under step one) with the horizon year v/c for the corresponding segments and spot improvements calculated based on the RivCoM 2045 No-Build scenario assigned traffic on the 2021 existing network using the same methodology as the existing year v/c.

11 The RivCoM 2021 Existing Network used for the TUMF Nexus Study analyses reflects the RivCoM 2018 base year network augmented to include highways facilities on the TUMF Network as they existed in December 2021. A second version of the base network was also developed adding only those facilities that had been identified on the 2016 TUMF Nexus study 2040 Build scenario that did not currently exist in December 2021 and therefore were not represented by a link(s) in the RivCoM base network. The Supplemental 2021 Existing Network was utilized as the basis for determining existing and future v/c for only those projects that did not currently exist on the 2021 TUMF Network.

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 42 4. The proportion of the incremental growth attributable to new development was determined by dividing the result of step three with the total 2045 No-Build scenario v/c exceeding LOS E.

5. For those segments experiencing a net increase in v/c over the base year, TUMF will ‘discount’ the cost of existing need improvements by the proportion of the incremental v/c growth through 2045 No-Build compared to the 2018 Baseline v/c (up to a maximum of 100%).

The unfunded cost of existing highway improvement needs (including the related MSHCP obligation) totals $582.6 million. Appendix H includes a detailed breakdown of the existing highway improvement needs on the TUMF network, including the associated unfunded improvement cost estimate for each segment and spot improvement experiencing unacceptable LOS.

For transit service improvements, the cost to provide for existing demand was determined by multiplying the total transit component cost by the share of future transit trips representing existing demand. The cost of existing transit service improvement needs is $63.0 million representing 28.9% of the TUMF transit component. Appendix H includes tables reflecting the calculation of the existing transit need share and the existing transit need cost.

4.7 Maximum TUMF Eligible Cost

A total of $382.9 million in obligated funding was identified for improvements to the TUMF system. Since these improvements are already funded with other available revenue sources, the funded portion of these projects cannot also be funded with TUMF revenues. Furthermore, the total cost of the unfunded existing improvement need is $646.9 million. These improvements are needed to mitigate existing transportation deficiencies and therefore their costs cannot be assigned to new development through TUMF.

Based on the estimated costs described in Sections 4.3 and 4.4, the total value to complete the identified TUMF network and transit improvements, and administer the program is $5.28 billion. Having accounted for obligated funds and unfunded existing needs as described in Sections 4.5 and 4.6, respectively, the estimated maximum eligible value of the TUMF Program is $4.24 billion. The maximum eligible value of the TUMF Program includes approximately $3.87 billion in eligible arterial highway and street related improvements and $154.8 million in eligible transit related improvements. An additional $53.9 million is eligible as part of the TUMF Program to mitigate the impact of eligible TUMF related arterial highway and street projects on critical native species and wildlife habitat, while $161.2 million is provided to cover the costs incurred by WRCOG to administer the TUMF Program.

4.8 TUMF Network Evaluation

To assess the effectiveness of the proposed TUMF Network improvements to mitigate the cumulative regional impact of new development in Western Riverside County, the proposed network improvements were added to the 2021 existing network in RivCoM and the model was run with 2045 socioeconomic data to determine the relative impacts on horizon year traffic conditions. To quantify the impacts of the TUMF Network improvements, the various traffic measures of effectiveness described in Section 3.1 for the 2018 Existing and 2045 No-Build scenarios were again calculated for the 2045 TUMF Build scenario. The results for VMT, VHT, VHD, and total VMT experiencing unacceptable level of service (LOS E) were then compared to the results presented in Table 3.1 for the no-build conditions. The 2045 TUMF Build comparison results are provided in Table 4.6. Plots of the Network Extents are attached in Appendix H.

As shown in Table 4.6, the 2045 peak period VMT on all arterial facilities experiencing LOS of E or worse will decrease with the addition of the TUMF Network improvements while the share of VMT on the TUMF arterial network experiencing LOS E or worse during the peak periods will be reduced to 32% (which is still above the level experienced in 2018). It should be noted that the total VMT on the arterial system increases because of freeway trips being diverted to the arterial system to benefit from the proposed TUMF improvements.

Despite a greater share of the total peak period VMT in 2045, the arterial system can more efficiently accommodate the increased demand with the proposed TUMF improvements. Although peak period VMT on the TUMF improved arterial system increases by approximately 6% in 2045 compared to the No Build condition, VHT on the arterial system remains almost constant. Additionally, a benefit is observed on the 376

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 54 freeway system with VMT and VHT being reduced following TUMF Network improvements. By completing TUMF improvements, the total VHD experienced by all area motorists would be reduced during the peak period by over 7% from the levels that would be experienced under the 2045 No-Build scenario. These results highlight the effectiveness of the TUMF Program to mitigate the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new development commensurate with the level of impact being created.

NOTES:

Volume is adjusted by PCE factor
VMT = vehicle miles of travel (the total combined distance that all vehicles travel on the system) VHT = vehicle hours of travel (the total combined time that all vehicles are traveling on the system) VHD = vehicle hours of delay (the total combined time that all vehicles have been delayed on the system based on the difference between forecast travel time and free-flow (ideal) travel time) LOS = level of service (based on forecast volume to capacity ratios).

LOS E or Worse was determined by V/C ratio that exceeds 0.9 thresholds as indicated in the Riverside County General Plan.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 55 5.0 TUMF NEXUS ANALYSIS

The objective of this section is to evaluate and document the rational nexus (or reasonable relationship) between the proposed fee and the transportation system improvements it will be used to help fund. The analysis starts by documenting the correlation between future development and the need for transportation system improvements on the TUMF network to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of this new development, followed by analysis of the nexus evaluation of the key components of the TUMF concept.

5.1 Future Development and the Need for Improvements

Previous sections of this report documented the projected population, household and employment growth in Western Riverside County, the expected increases in traffic congestion and travel delay, and the identification of the transportation system improvements that will serve these future inter-community travel demands. The following points coalesce this information in a synopsis of how the future growth relates to the need for improvements to the TUMF system.

 Western Riverside County is expected to continue growing.

Development in Western Riverside County is expected to continue at a robust rate of growth into the foreseeable future. Current projections estimate the population is projected to grow from a level of approximately 1.91 million in 2018 to a future level of about 2.53 million in 2045, while employment is projected to grow from a level of about 570,000 in 2018 to approximately 846,000 in 2045 (as shown in Table 2.3).

 Continuing growth will result in increasing congestion on arterial roadways.

Traffic congestion and delay on arterial roadways are projected to increase dramatically in the future (as shown in Table 3.1 ). Without improvements to the transportation system, congestion levels will grow rapidly and travelers will experience unacceptable travel conditions with slow travel speeds and lengthy delays.

 The future arterial roadway congestion is directly attributable to future development in Western Riverside County.

Traffic using arterial roadways within Western Riverside County is virtually all generated within or attracted to Western Riverside County, since longer-distance trips passing through the region typically use the freeway system, not arterial roadways. Therefore, the future recurring congestion problems on these roadways will be attributable to new trips that originate in, terminate in, or travel within Western Riverside County.

 Capacity improvements to the transportation system will be needed to alleviate the future congestion caused by new development.

To maintain transportation service closer to current levels of efficiency, capacity enhancements will need to be made to the arterial roadway system. These enhancements could include new or realigned roads, additional lanes on existing 378

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 56 roads, new or expanded bridges, new or upgraded freeway interchanges, grade separation of at-grade rail crossings, or the installation of new ITS to improve traffic flows. The completion of improvements to the arterial roadway system would enhance regional mobility and reduce the total peak period vehicles hours of travel (VHT) by over 2%, reduce peak period vehicle hours of delay (VHD) by over 7%, and reduce the share of traffic experiencing congestion in the peak periods by over 4% (as shown in Table 4.6 ). The specific needs and timing of implementation will depend on the location and rate of future development, so the specific improvements to be funded by the TUMF and their priority of implementation will be determined during future project programming activities as improvement needs unfold and as TUMF funds become available.

 Roads on the TUMF network are the facilities that merit improvement through this fee program.

The criteria used to identify roads for the TUMF network (future number of lanes, future traffic volume, future congestion level, and roadway function linking communities and activity centers and serving public transportation) were selected to ensure that these are the roadways that will serve inter-community travel and will require future improvement to alleviate congestion.

 Improvements to the public transportation system will be needed to provide adequate mobility for transit-dependent travelers and to provide an alternative to automobile travel.

Since a portion of the population does not own an automobile and depends on public transportation for mobility, public transportation infrastructure and service will need to be enhanced and expanded to ensure continued mobility for this segment of the population. In addition, improvements to the public transportation system will be required to ensure that transit service can function as a viable option for future new Western Riverside County residents and employees who choose to avoid congestion by using public transportation.

For the reasons cited above, it can be readily concluded that there is a rational nexus between the future need for transportation improvements on the TUMF system and the future development upon which the proposed TUMF would be levied. The following sections evaluate the rational nexus in relation to the system components and the types of uses upon which the fee is assessed.

5.2 Application of Fee to System Components

As noted in Section 3.2, the TUMF concept includes splitting the fee revenues between the backbone system of arterials, the secondary system of arterials, and the public transportation system. This section evaluates the travel demands to determine the rational nexus between the future travel demands and the use of the fee to fund improvements to the future system components.

The split of fee revenues between the backbone and secondary highway networks is related to the proportion of highway vehicle trips that are relatively local (between 379

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 57 adjacent communities) and longer distance (between more distant communities but still within Western Riverside County). To estimate a rational fee split between the respective networks, the future combined AM and PM peak period travel forecast estimates were aggregated to a matrix of trips between zones to show the percentage of trips that remain within each zone in relation to the volume that travels to the other zones. This analysis was completed using the Year 2045 No-Build scenario trip tables from RivCoM.

The first step in the analysis was to create a correspondence table between the TAZs in the model and the five WRCOG TUMF zones (i.e. Northwest, Southwest, Central, Hemet/San Jacinto and Pass). The TAZs were then compressed into six districts (the five WRCOG zones and one for the rest of the SCAG region).

Table 5.1 shows the estimated peak period vehicle trips within and between each of the zones. Table 5.2 shows the percentage of peak period vehicle trips within and between the respective zones. Appendix I includes the detailed RivCoM outputs used to develop the regional trip distribution profile shown in Table 5.1 and 5.2.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 58 Table 5.3 summarizes the calculation of the split between the backbone and secondary highway networks as derived from the peak period trip values provided in Table 5.1. Peak period vehicle trips to and from areas outside Western Riverside County were subtracted from the calculation, on the presumption that most of their inter- regional travel would occur on the freeway system. Peak period trips between zones (regional) were assigned to the backbone network, since these trips are primarily served by the arterial roadways that provide connections between the zones. Peak period trips within zones (local) were split between the backbone network and the secondary network in proportion to their lane-miles, since roadways on both networks serve intra-zonal trips. The backbone network includes approximately 41.1% of the lane-miles on the future TUMF system, and the secondary network includes approximately 58.9% of the lane-miles.

The backbone network is therefore assigned all the inter-zonal peak period trips plus

41.1% of the intra-zonal peak period trips. The secondary network is assigned 58.9% of the intra-zonal peak period trips and none of the inter-zonal peak period trips. The overall result is that 51.1% of the regional travel is assigned to the backbone network and 48.9% is assigned to the secondary network.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 59 5.3 Application of Fee to Residential and Non-Residential Developments

In order to establish the approximate proportionality of the future traffic impacts associated with new residential development and new non-residential development, the growth in daily VMT between the 2018 Existing and 2045 No-Build Scenarios from RivCoM were aggregated by trip purpose. RivCoM produces person trips (irrespective of mode choice) on the basis of five trip purposes: home-based-work (HBW), home- based-other (HBO), home-based-school (HBS), non-home-based (NHB), and home- based-university (HBU).

NCHRP Report #187 Quick Response Urban Travel Estimation Techniques and Transferable Parameters User's Guide (Transportation Research Board, 1978) details operational travel estimation techniques that are universally used for the travel demand modeling. Chapter 2 of this report, which details trip generation estimation, states that "HBW (Home Based Work) and HBNW (Home Based Non-Work) trips are generated at the households, whereas the NHB (Non-Home Based) trips are generated elsewhere." In accordance with NCHRP Report #187, growth in daily VMT was aggregated into home- based growth in daily VMT (combining the four home-based purposes: HBW, HBO, HBSC and HBU) and non-home-based growth in daily VMT. The home-based growth in daily VMT represents 77.7% of the total future growth in daily VMT and the non-home-based growth in daily VMT represent 22.3% of the total future growth in daily VMT, as shown in Table 5.4. Appendix J includes the RivCoM outputs used to develop the trip purpose summary in Table 5.4.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 60 6.0 FAIR-SHARE FEE CALCULATION

The fee amounts, by type of development, that are justified to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of new development on transportation facilities in Western Riverside County are quantified in this section. The total cost of improving the TUMF system is $5.28 billion. Existing funding obligated for improvements to the TUMF system totals $382.9 million while unfunded improvement needs generated by existing development represent $646.9 million of the total cost. The balance of the unfunded TUMF system improvement needs is $4.24 billion which is the maximum value attributable to the mitigation of the cumulative regional transportation impacts of future new development in the WRCOG region and will be captured through the TUMF Program.

By levying the uniform fee directly on future new developments (and indirectly on new residents and new employees to Western Riverside County), these transportation system users are assigned their “fair share” of the costs to address the cumulative impacts of additional traffic they will generate on the regional transportation system.

Of the $4.24 billion in unfunded future improvement needs, 77.7% ($3.30 billion) will be assigned to future new residential development and 22.3% ($946.5 million) will be assigned to future new non-residential development.

6.1 Residential Fees

The portion of the unfunded future improvement cost allocable to new residential development through the TUMF is $3.30 billion. Since this future transportation system improvement need is generated by new residential development anticipated through the Year 2045, the fee will be spread between the residential developments projected to be constructed between 2018 and 2045. The projected residential growth from year 2018 to 2045 is 257,826 households (or dwelling units) as is indicated in Table 2.3.

Different household types generate different numbers of trips. To reflect the difference in trip generation between lower density “single-family” dwelling units and higher density “multi-family” dwelling units, the TUMF was weighted based on the respective trip generation rates of these different dwelling unit types. For the purposes of the TUMF Program, single family dwelling units are those housing units with a density of less than 8 units per acre while multi-family units are those with a density of 8 or more units per acre. According to the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS forecasts included in Table 2.3 and Appendix B , single family dwelling units (including mobile homes) are forecast to constitute 65.0% of the growth in residential dwelling units in the region between 2018 and 2045.

Data provided in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition (2021) show that, on average, single-family dwelling units generate 0.99 vehicle trips per dwelling unit per hour in the PM peak hour, whereas apartments, condominiums and townhouses (considered to be representative of higher density multi-family dwelling units) generate a median of 0.50 vehicle trips per unit per hour in the PM peak hour. The growth in dwelling units for single-family and multi-family, respectively, were multiplied by the corresponding trip generation rates to determine 383

Household data based on SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS;
Trip Generation based on ITE Trip Generation (2021).

Consistent with the socio-economic forecasts developed by SCAG and the trip generation basis to assess the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new development, the residential fee calculation for TUMF reflects a uniform fee per dwelling unit for two categories as described previously: single-family residential and multi-family residential. On September 28, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsome signed Assembly Bill 602 (AB 602) approving several changes to the Mitigation Fee Act, including the additional of §66016.5 to the California Government Code (CGC). CGC §66016.5(a)(5)(A) states “A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development.…” unless certain findings are made. These findings include:

“(i) An explanation as to why square footage is not appropriate metric to calculate fees imposed on housing development project.
(ii) An explanation that an alternative basis of calculating the fee bears a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.
(iii) That other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments, or otherwise ensure that smaller developments are not charged disproportionate fees.”

To address these provisions of AB 602, WRCOG analyzed the trip generation characteristics of single-family and multi-family residential dwelling units of various sizes to determine whether the TUMF should be imposed based on the square footage of the respective housing type. The findings of the analyses for single-family and multi-family, respectively, were summarized in technical memoranda that are included in Appendix K. Based on the findings of the analyses, WRCOG has determined that the fee for single-family residential units should be adjusted in four tiers to correlate to the trip generation characteristics associated with various ranges of single-family housing sizes to demonstrate compliance with AB 602. The tiers reflecting the adjustments to the 384

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 62 standard single-family residential fee per dwelling unit (as calculated in Table 6.1 ) for differing ranges of single-family dwelling unit sizes are summarized in Table 6.2 .

Adjustments to the standard uniform fair-share single-family residential fee to account for variations in trip generation rates based on the size of the units will be made at the time of determining the fee obligation consistent with the process outlined further in the WRCOG TUMF Fee Calculation Handbook.

Table 6.2 – Single-Family Residential Fee Adjustments by Unit Size

Adjustment Tier Housing Unit Size Range (in square feet) Base Fee Adjustment Tier 1 Less than or equal to 1,800 80%
Tier 2 1,801 to 2,300 90%
Tier 3 2,301 to 2,700 100%
Tier 4 More than 2,700 125%

For multi-family residential units, WRCOG determined that the fee can be imposed on all multi-family units uniformly consistent with the conclusions of the analysis of multi- family trip generation rates by unit size, which demonstrated little variation in trip generation rates across the range of multi-family residential unit sizes. Therefore, the multi-family residential fee, as calculated in Table 6.2, can be applied uniformly to all multi-family residential units under the TUMF program.

6.2 Non-Residential Fees

The portion of the unfunded future improvement cost allocable to new non-residential development through the TUMF is $946.5 million. Estimates of employment by sector were obtained from the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS socioeconomic data included in Table 2.3 and Appendix B . From the 2045 employment forecast, the amount of employee growth in each sector was calculated. The employment figures were then translated into square footage of new development using typical ratios of square feet per employee derived from four sources including: Cordoba Corporation/Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Douglas (PBQD), Land Use Density Conversion Factors For Long Range Corridor Study San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, August 20, 1990; Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Orange County Subarea Model Guidelines Manual, June 2001; SCAG, Employment Density Study, October 31, 2001; and the County of Riverside, General Plan, as amended December 15, 2015. Worksheets showing the development of the TUMF employee conversion factors and the application of the conversion factors to calculate the square footage of future new non-residential development in Western Riverside County are included in Appendix L.

To account for the differences in trip generation between various types of non- residential uses, the new non-residential development was weighted by trip generation rate for each sector. Typical trip generation rates per employee were obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation – 11 th Edition (2021), and were weighted based on a calculated value of trips per employee as derived from the 385

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 63 employee conversion factors and ITE typical trip generation rates per square foot of development, before being assigned to the non-residential categories as follows:

Industrial – 0.6 PM peak hour trips per employee, Retail – 1.8 PM peak hour trips per employee, Service – 1.2 PM peak hour trips per employee, and Government/Public –

2.1 PM peak hour trips per employee 12. These rates were applied to the employment growth in each sector to determine the relative contribution of each sector to new trip- making, and the $946.5 million was then allocated among the non-residential categories based on the percentage of new trips added. This proportionate non- residential fee share by sector was then divided by the estimated square footage of future new development to obtain the rate per square foot for each type of use. The calculation of the non-residential fee by sector is shown in Table 6.3.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 64 7.0 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of the Nexus Study evaluation, there is reasonable relationship between the cumulative regional transportation impacts of new land development projects in Western Riverside County and the need to mitigate these transportation impacts using funds levied through the ongoing TUMF Program. Factors that reflect this reasonable relationship include:

 Western Riverside County is expected to continue growing because of future new development.

 Continuing new growth will result in increasing congestion on arterial roadways.

 The future arterial roadway congestion is directly attributable to the cumulative regional transportation impacts of future development in Western Riverside County.

 Capacity improvements to the transportation system will be needed to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of new development.

 Roads on the TUMF network are the facilities that merit improvement through this fee program.

 Improvements to the public transportation system will be needed to provide adequate mobility for transit-dependent travelers and to provide an alternative to automobile travel.

The Nexus Study evaluation has established a proportional “fair share” of the improvement cost attributable to new development based on the impacts of existing development and the availability of obligated funding through traditional sources.

Furthermore, the Nexus Study evaluation has divided the fair share of the cost to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of future new development in Western Riverside County in rough proportionality to the cumulative impacts of future residential and non-residential development in the region. The respective fee allocable to future new residential and non-residential development in Western Riverside County is summarized for differing use types in Table 7.1.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9. 2024 B-1
Appendix B - Western Riverside County Population and Employment Growth 2008 – 2035

Although a variety of alternate demographic information is available for the purpose of quantifying population and household growth in Western Riverside County, it was determined that the data developed by SCAG to support the 2020 RTP/SCS represented the most comprehensive source of socioeconomic data (SED) for the six- county SCAG region that includes Riverside County. The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS SED information is disaggregated to the level of traffic analysis zones (TAZ) that comprise inputs to RivCoM. These SED data by TAZ were extracted from RivCoM (specifically the TAZ_Data.CSV file located in the PopSyn output folder) and aggregated to correspond with the TUMF zones to support this update of the TUMF Nexus. The SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS SED data retrieved from RivCoM and used as the basis for the Nexus Update is summarized in this Appendix.

The SCAG employment data for 2018 and 2045 was provided for thirteen employment sectors consistent with the California Employment Development Department (EDD) Major Groups including: Farming, Natural Resources and Mining; Construction; Manufacturing; Wholesale Trade; Retail Trade; Transportation, Warehousing and Utilities; Information; Financial Activities; Professional and Business Service; Education and Health Service; Leisure and Hospitality; Other Service; and Government. For the purposes of the Nexus Study, the SCAG Employment Categories were aggregated to Industrial (Farming, Natural Resources and Mining; Construction; Manufacturing; Wholesale Trade; Transportation, Warehousing and Utilities), Retail (Retail Trade), Service (Information; Financial Activities; Professional and Business Service; Education and Health Service; Leisure and Hospitality; Other Service) and Government/Public Sector (Government). These four aggregated sector types were used as the basis for calculating the fee as described in Section 6.2. This Appendix includes tables detailing the SCAG RTP/SCS SED Employment Categories and corresponding North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Categories that are included in each non- residential sector type.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 C-1
Appendix C - Western Riverside County Traffic Growth 2018 – 2045

Existing (2018) and future (2045) traffic data were derived from RivCoM. The model area of coverage, level of roadway network and TAZ detail, and application on other regional transportation study efforts represented RivCoM as the appropriate tool for evaluating traffic growth as part of the Nexus Study.

The forecasts of existing and future congestion levels were derived from the Year 2018 Existing and Year 2045 No-Build scenarios, respectively. The 2018 Existing and 2045 No- Build scenarios were developed using RivCoM to model 2018 and 2045 SED, respectively, as derived from the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS adopted SED forecasts, on the transportation network as it existed in 2021. The 2018 existing transportation network represents the most recent baseline network developed for RivCoM, and only reflects the inclusion of those projects that were funded, committed and under construction at that time, and therefore imminently to be part of the baseline transportation system in 2018. For the purposes of the TUMF network analysis, additional improvements on the TUMF arterial highway network that were either completed or under construction in the period between 2018 and December 2021 were added to the network to create a 2021 existing network. The 2021 existing network was subsequently modeled in RivCoM using both 2018 and 2045 SED to provide the 2018 Baseline and 2045 No-Build scenarios as the basis for comparison and analysis. The 2045 No-Build scenario did not include transportation improvements that are planned as part of the recently adopted SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS on the basis they are uncommitted (meaning that their implementation is dependent on securing future funding and approval). Inclusion of the uncommitted improvements masks the congestion effects of increasing travel. Inclusion of these improvements and the resultant masking is not appropriate for this analysis aimed at identifying the effects of increasing travel if improvements were not built.

The WRCOG TUMF study area was extracted from RivCoM for the purpose of calculating the following measures for Western Riverside County only. Traffic growth impacts for each of the two scenarios were calculated using the TransCAD platform.

 Total daily vehicle miles of travel (VMT),
 Total daily VMT on facilities experiencing LOS E or worse.  Total daily vehicle hours of travel (VHT), and
 Total combined daily vehicle hours of delay (VHD)

The following formulas were used to calculate the respective values.

 VMT = Link Distance * Total Daily Volume
 VHT = Average Loaded (Congested) Link Travel Time * Total Daily Volume  VHD = VHT – (Free-flow (Uncongested) Link Travel Time * Total Daily Volume)  VMT LOS E or F = VMT (on links where Daily V/C exceeded 0.90)13

13 LOS Thresholds for LOS E are based on the 2010 Edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board, National Research Council, Washington, D.C., 2010) LOS Maximum V/C Criteria for Multilane Highways with 45 mph Free Flow Speed (Exhibit 14-5, Chapter 14, Page 14-5). 416
WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 C-2
RivCoM breaks down its roadway network into functional categories called assignment groups. The measures were calculated selectively for all facilities, freeways only, arterials only, and TUMF arterials only by including and excluding different assignment groups and facilities. For the calculation of measures on “all facilities”, only the centroid connectors were excluded. Arterial values excluded all mixed-flow to carpool lane connector ramps, freeways, carpool lanes, centroid connectors, and freeway-to- freeway connector ramps, respectively. Freeways were defined as including mixed- flow to carpool lane connector ramps, freeways, carpool lanes, and freeway-to- freeway connector ramps, respectively.

The 2021 Existing Network by Facility Type is included in this Appendix as Exhibit C-1. The 2021 existing network was used as the basis for the 2018 Existing and 2045 No-Build scenarios by modeling 2018 and 2045 SED, respectively, on the 2021 existing network using RivCoM to determine the comparative effects of population, household an employment growth in the region. The results of the analysis of existing and future congestion levels are presented for peak periods in Exhibit C-2 and for daily in Exhibit C- 3 in this Appendix and extracted for the combined peak periods in Table 3.1 of the study report.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 E-1
Appendix E - Western Riverside County Regional System of Highways and Arterials Performance Measures

An integral element of the Nexus Study is the designation of the Western Riverside County Regional System of Highways and Arterials (also referred to as the “TUMF Network”). This network of regionally significant highways represents those arterial and collector highway and roadway facilities that primarily support inter-community trips in Western Riverside County and supplement the regional freeway system, and represents the extents of the network of highways and roadways that would be eligible for TUMF funded improvements. The Regional System of Highways and Arterials does NOT include the freeways of Western Riverside County which primarily serve inter-regional trips.

The designation of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in the original TUMF Nexus Study adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee in October 2002 was initiated with the identification of highways and roadways that met certain specified guidelines as defined by the WRCOG Public Works Committee. The guidelines are defined in Section 4.1 of the Nexus Report, and include:

1. Arterial highway facilities proposed to have a minimum of four lanes at future buildout (not including freeways).

2. Facilities that serve multiple jurisdictions and/or provide connectivity between communities both within and adjoining Western Riverside County.

3. Facilities with forecast traffic volumes in excess of 20,000 vehicles per day in the future horizon year.

4. Facilities with forecast volume to capacity ratio of 0.90 (LOS E) or greater in the future horizon year.

5. Facilities that accommodate regional fixed route transit services.

6. Facilities that provide direct access to major commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational or tourist activity centers, and multi-modal transportation facilities (such as airports, railway terminals and transit centers).

The original candidate facilities were identified by overlaying various transportation system and land use plots depicting parameters consistent with those defined by the specified guidelines. These plots included existing and proposed numbers of lanes, network volumes and volume to capacity ratio (LOS) derived from SCAG CTP Model networks developed by Transcore to support the ongoing Western Riverside County CETAP study, and existing land use information provided by SCAG. These plots were included in the Appendices that accompanied the original 2002 TUMF Nexus Study.

Fixed route transit service information was provided by the Riverside County Regional Transportation Authority (RTA).

These various data inputs were overlaid and reviewed leading the definition of a segmented skeletal network of highways and roadways for further consideration. The skeletal network was further enhanced to reflect regional connectivity and access to activity center considerations. An initial draft Regional System of Highways and Arterials was developed and subsequently distributed to the County of Riverside and each City in Western Riverside County for review in the context of their respective City General 422

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 E-2
Plan Circulation Elements, primarily to confirm existing and future number of lanes and appropriateness of the facilities identified. The initial draft network was subsequently revised to consolidate appropriate General Plan Circulation Elements, including the identification of proposed new facilities as alternatives to existing facilities. It should be pointed out that the Regional System of Highways and Arterials does not represent a simple compilation of regional General Plan Circulation Elements, but rather incorporates the elements of regional General Plan Circulation Elements that are necessary for mitigating the cumulative regional traffic impacts of new development within the horizon year of the TUMF program.

The consolidated list of proposed network improvements (along with associated initial cost estimates) was subsequently distributed to each of the WRCOG jurisdictions, individual landowners, and other stakeholders including representatives of the development community through the Building Industry Association (BIA) for review. The review of the consolidated list of improvements (and associated costs) prompted a series of five peer review workshop meetings to specifically review each segment of roadway identified and the associated improvements to mitigate the traffic impacts of new development. One peer review workshop meeting was held for each of the five zones in the WRCOG region with meetings held at the Riverside County Assessor’s Office between June 27, 2002 and July 18, 2002. The peer review workshop meetings involved representatives from WRCOG, the respective zone jurisdictions and the BIA.

The peer review workshops culminated in the development (by consensus of the groups) of a revised list of proposed network improvements (and associated costs) more accurately reflecting the improvements necessary to mitigate the cumulative regional traffic impacts of new development.

Following the peer review, the initial Regional System of Highways and Arterials was reviewed and endorsed by the TUMF Technical Advisory Committee, the TUMF Policy Committee and the WRCOG Executive Committee and utilized as the basis for developing the original TUMF Nexus Study in October 2002.

For the 2024 update of the TUMF Nexus Study, the Regional System of Highways and Arterials was reassessed. Consistent with the changing rate of new development forecast for Western Riverside County as part of the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS, including reductions in the overall level of non-residential employment, the review of the TUMF Network as part of the 2024 Nexus Update ensured facilities generally still met the previously described performance guidelines, and/or that the scope and magnitude of specific improvements to the TUMF Network were roughly proportional to the impacts needing to be mitigated. This review process involved the comparison of model outputs for the 2018 Baseline and 2045 No-Build Scenarios on the 2021 Existing arterial network to identify those facilities no longer expected to be impacted substantially by the cumulative effects of traffic growth from new development. This review resulted in various changes in the scope and magnitude of specific improvements previously identified on the TUMF Network. The updated model output plots utilized as the basis for the latest network review are included in this appendix as Exhibit E-1 through E-8 .

The Regional System of Highways and Arterials is included as Figure 4.1 in the Nexus Study report.

Appendix F - TUMF Network Cost Assumptions

The TUMF program was established as a uniform impact fee program that is applied to mitigate the cumulative transportation impacts of new development on the regional arterial highway system. In establishing the technical basis for TUMF, like any impact fee program, there are two fundamental requirements that must be addressed: establishing a rational nexus for the program; and determining that any fee is roughly proportional to the impact of a proposed development. These requirements are rooted in two well- known legal cases: Nollan v. California Coastal Commission (1987) 483 U.S. 825; and Dolan v. City of Tigard (1994) 512 U.S. 374.

To establish project costs that meet the rough proportionality test for an expansive network of facilities, WRCOG utilizes a conceptual planning level project and cost estimation approach based on typical unit costs for a variety of project types and conditions. These unit costs are intended to reflect a range of values that are typical for the types of projects that are necessary to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of new development. These unit costs are developed for each typical project type based on actual observed values for the various materials, labor and right-of-way that would typically be required to complete a project. Although the actual materials, labor, right-of-way and associate costs to complete each specific project can be expected to vary based on the particular conditions of each site and project requirements at the time the project is actually implemented, the approach of using typical unit costs as the basis for the TUMF program represents a manageable and appropriate level of detail to establish conceptual project cost estimates that meet the requirement for rough proportionality.

The application of typical unit costs and the associated identification of a maximum TUMF share for each eligible project also provides a framework that protects the program from projects with actual costs that vary significantly from the typical cost estimates used as the program basis. The TUMF program administrative polices limit reimbursement of costs associated with eligible TUMF projects to the lesser of maximum TUMF share identified in the Nexus Study or the actual eligible project costs. In this manner, projects that are completed by participating jurisdictions or developers for less than the maximum TUMF share are reimbursed (or credited) for the actual amount expended, while projects that exceed the maximum TUMF share are only reimbursed (or credited) by the program up to the maximum TUMF share value ensuring that the program is mitigating impacts at a level that is roughly proportional to that typically expected, and is not subject to extreme project costs to address unusual or exceptional local conditions or requirements.

For the purposes of TUMF, unit cost values were developed for various eligible improvement types that all provide additional capacity needed to mitigate the cumulative regional traffic impacts of new development to facilities on the TUMF Network. Eligible improvement types include:

1. Construction of additional Network roadway lanes;

2. Construction of new Network roadway segments;

3. Expansion of existing Network bridge structures;
432

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-2

4. Construction of new Network bridge structures;

5. Expansion of existing Network interchanges with freeways;

6. Construction of new Network interchanges with freeways;

7. Grade separation of existing Network at-grade railroad crossings;

8. Expansion of existing Network-to-Network intersections;

9. Infrastructure for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) of Network roadway segments.

Because roadway improvement standards vary considerably between respective jurisdictions, a typical roadway standard for the TUMF Network was recommended by the Public Works Committee (PWC) during the development of the original TUMF Nexus Study adopted by the WRCOG Executive Committee in October 2002 as the basis for developing the TUMF Network cost estimate. The typical roadway standard assumes the following design characteristics that are consistent with the minimum requirements of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual:

 Asphalt concrete pavement and appropriate base material to accomplish up to 12 feet per travel lane plus up to four feet for ancillary treatments (e.g. shoulders, or Class II Bike Lane);
 Concrete curb and gutter and associated drainage (e.g. paved roadway shoulders and/or open swale);
 Storm drains located within curb to curb, and associated transverse portions perpendicular to the roadway and adjoining portions longitudinal to the roadway;
 14 foot paved and painted median (or dual center left turn lane);  Traffic signals at intersections with state highways and other major arterials that are also on the TUMF Network;
 Pavement striping and roadway signing, as required;
 6 foot wide concrete sidewalks and associated curb cuts for ADA access at street crossings.

A cross-section of the Typical Roadway Standard is illustrated in Figure F-1.

Figure F-1. Typical Roadway Standard Cross-Section

It is recognized that the typical roadway standard is not appropriate in all potential TUMF Network locations. Where appropriate, typical design standards could be substituted with design elements such as open swale drainage and paved roadway shoulders with no curbing that would typically cost less than the implementation of the 433

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-3
Typical Roadway Standard. Roadway improvements in excess of the Typical Roadway Standard include, but are not limited to:
 Portland concrete cement pavement or other aesthetic pavement types (except at intersections);
 Major rehabilitation or overlay of existing pavement in adjacent roadway lanes;  Raised barrier medians;
 Parking lanes;
 Roadway tapers outside the extents of the approved project  Sanitary sewage infrastructure;
 Water systems
 Dry utilities
 Undergrounding infrastructure
 Relocation of non-prior rights utilities
 Storm Drain Systems in excess of draining the roadway  Landscaping;
 Streetlighting;
 Class I Bike Lanes (e.g. separate bicycle paths)
 Environmental Permitting
 Detection/Retention Basins outside of Street Right-of-Way  Agency Staff time in excess of 15% of Engineering
 Agency Staff Time in excess of 15% of Construction

These improvements in excess of Typical Roadway Standards are not eligible for TUMF funding and will be the responsibility of the local funding agency.

Unit cost estimates for the implementation of TUMF Network improvements were developed based on the unit cost to accomplish the Typical Roadway Standard. Initial unit cost estimates were developed as part of the original TUMF Nexus in 2002. These original values were adjusted as part of the 2005 Nexus Update to reflect changes in cost based on relevant indices. The unit cost estimates were fully revised as part of the 2009 Nexus Update to capture the full effects of the economic recession on the costs of labor, materials and property acquisition. For the previous 2016 Nexus Update, the unit costs were fully revised. The 2016 Nexus Update reflected the effects of the ongoing recovery from the economic recession that has saw the costs of materials, labor and land acquisition in California rebound from relative historical lows previously observed at the time of the 2009 Nexus Update.

For the 2024 Nexus Update, the unit costs were again fully revised to generate entirely new unit cost values based on the most recent available construction cost, labor cost and land acquisition cost values for comparable projects within and adjacent to Riverside County. The recalculation of the TUMF unit cost components was completed as part of the 2024 Nexus Update to account for the unprecedented materials cost increases, labor shortages and high rate of inflation generally attributable to a combination of the disruption to global supply chains caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and additional tariffs on a range of products imported into the United States.

In December 2023, the unit cost values were validated utilizing Caltrans Contract Cost Data and the resultant unit costs are noted in Exhibit F-2 and summarized in Table 4.1.

434

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-4
For simplicity, the roadway unit cost was assumed to provide for the full depth construction (including grading) of 16 feet of new pavement per lane (to accommodate a minimum 12 foot lane and ancillary treatments). The unit cost was assumed to include the following construction elements:

 Sawcut of existing pavement
 Removal of existing pavement
 Roadway excavation and embankment
 10” thick class 2 aggregate base
 4.0” thick asphaltic concrete surface
 Concrete curb, gutter and drainage improvements

Roadway unit costs were determined for each unique cost item. The source used to determine the roadway unit costs as part of the 2024 Nexus Update are listed below.

 Caltrans Contract Cost Data 2021-2022
 Projects within Riverside County and Adjacent Counties  Typical experience for local cities, Western Riverside County  Michael Baker international (MBI), Structural Group
 MBI, ITS Group
 Caltrans Contract Cost Data 2022-2023

All data described above was initially obtained in October 2022 and refreshed and validated in December 2023.

Right-of-way acquisition costs were determined based on the cost to acquire 18 feet of right-of-way per lane of new roadway improvement. For urban and suburban land use areas, the amount of right-of-way to be acquired as part of the TUMF program was reduced by 75% to account for property already owned by a participating jurisdiction through prior acquisition or dedication. Right-of-way unit costs were assumed to include the following elements:

 Land acquisition
 Documentation and legal fees
 Relocation and demolition costs and condemnation compensation requirements
 Utility relocation
 Direct environmental mitigation

Right-of-way unit costs were determined based on a review of actual property sales within the WRCOG region during the prior 18 month period. The task of determining the valuation per square foot of right-of-way for different land uses was completed by Epic Land Solutions, Inc.

A typical existing condition of each component type was used as a guideline for quantity assessments.
 Terrain 1: Level terrain with 0% profile grade. Construction cost is per lane mile.  Terrain 2: Rolling Terrain with 1.5 % profile grade. Construction cost is per lane mile. 435

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-5
 Terrain 3: Mountainous Terrain with 3% profile grade. Construction cost is per lane mile.
 Land Use 1, 2 and 3; ROW cost factor per lane mile, for Urban, Suburban and Rural areas respectively.
 Interchange 1: Complex New Interchange/Interchange Modification. Existing complex interchange at I-15 & SR-91 was used as a guideline for quantity assessments.
 Interchange 2: New Interchange/Interchange Modification is assumed to be a New Cloverleaf Interchange consisting of 4 (3 lane) direct ramps and 4 (2 lane) loop ramps.
 Interchange 3: Major Interchange Improvement is assumed to correspond to adding 1 lane to each ramp on a cloverleaf Interchange.  Bridge: New Bridge cost. Construction cost is per linear foot per lane.  RRXing 1: New Rail Grade Crossing. Construction cost is per lane per crossing.  RRXing 2: Widening Existing Grade Crossing. Construction cost is per lane per crossing.
 ITS 1: Infrastructure for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) on TUMF Network roadway segments per route mile

The cost estimating methodology here is intended to provide a Present Value Cost Estimate for the WRCOG Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee based on year 2023 unit prices. A more detailed description of cost categories is detailed below.

I. Roadway Items
Roadway Excavation:

A unit cost of $38.55 per cubic yard (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data) is applied to account for the excavation quantities. Assuming proposed profiles to be at 0% grade, the excavation values are estimated based on the component type as follows:
 Terrain 2 and 3: excavation for one lane (16 feet wide and 4 feet deep) is assumed.

Imported Borrow:

The unit cost used for imported borrow is $20.47 per cubic yard (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data). Locations where imported borrow is required are determined from aerial photos.
 Terrain 2 and 3: Excavation for one lane (16 feet wide and 4 feet deep) is assumed.
 Interchanges 1, 2, and 3: Vertical clearance of 24.5 feet is used to calculate the maximum amount of imported borrow at areas adjacent to an undercrossing.  RRXing 1 and 2: Vertical clearance of 31.5 feet and Bridge approach of 1,000 feet is used to determine the quantity of Imported borrow for this component type.

Clearing and Grubbing:

The unit cost for clearing and grubbing is $12,100.00 per acre (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data).
436

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-6
 Terrain 1, 2 and 3: The area of clearing and grubbing is assumed to extend 16 feet for the addition of each new lane.
 Interchange 1 and 2: The area of clearing and grubbing is assumed to extend 40 feet beyond the proposed outside edge of shoulder. The clearing and grubbing width varies depending on the number of added lanes.
 Interchange 3 and Intersection: The area of clearing and grubbing is assumed to extend 16 feet for the addition of each lane.

Development of Water Supply:

A lump sum value is used to account for developing water supply. The lump sum cost is estimated as 10% of the combined cost for roadway excavation and imported borrow (Source: RCTC).

PCC Pavement:

The unit cost for PCC pavement is $354.83 per cubic yard (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data).
 Terrain 1, 2 and 3: It is assumed that PCC is used at mainline shoulders. The PCC shoulder pavement is assumed to be 4 inch thick and 4 feet wide.

Asphalt Concrete Type A:

It is assumed that Asphalt Concrete is used at mainline and where ramp and bridge widening is required. A unit cost of $240.62 per cubic yard (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data) is used to account for asphalt concrete quantities. The asphalt concrete overlay is assumed to be 4 inch thick.

Aggregate Base:

The unit cost for aggregate base is $73.54 per cubic yard (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data). Aggregate base quantities are estimated by means of calculating the areas of additional lanes. The aggregate base layer is considered to be 10 inch thick. It is assumed that aggregate base is used over the entire widening width below the PCC pavement and asphalt concrete layers.

Curb and Gutter:

The unit cost used for curb and gutter is $65.74 per linear foot (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data). It is assumed that type A2-6 curb and gutter is used on the entire length of travel way where required.

Project Drainage:

A lump sum value is used to account for project drainage cost of roadway construction. The project drainage cost is estimated as 15% (Source: RCTC project 2007) of combined cost for earthwork and pavement structural section.

Traffic Signals:

The costs for traffic signals are calculated per ramp termini intersection.

Striping:

The unit cost used for Striping is $2.58 per linear foot (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data). It is assumed that two lines of thermo-plastic striping are required for every lane addition.

Marking:

The unit cost used for marking is $7.31 per square foot (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data).
 Terrains 1, 2 and 3: It is assumed that there are 8 arrow markers, 2 Stop sign markers and 4 Bike sign markers.
 Interchanges 1, 2, and 3: It is assumed that there are 2 Type I arrows on each on ramp, and 2 Type IV (L) arrows on each off ramp.
 Intersection (network to network) upgrade: It is assumed that there are 2 right turn arrows and two right lane drop arrows for each lane modification for the interchange upgrade

Pavement Marker:

Type G one-way clear retroreflective pavement markers (Spacing @ 48 feet) were assumed for Terrain 1, 2 and 3 component types only. The unit cost used for pavement marker is $5.06 each (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data).

Signage:

The signage unit cost accounts for the costs of one-post signs and two-post signs.

The unit cost used for one-post signs and two-post signs are $367.69 and $1,211.58 each, respectively (Source: Local Projects and Caltrans Contract Cost Data). The post sign quantities assumed for each component type is summarized below.

Sign Type Terrain 1, 2 & 3 Interchange Intersection
1 2 3
One Post Signs 33 14 36 20 3
Two Post Signs - 4 4 4 0

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS):

The unit cost used for ITS is $686,338.50 per route mile (Source: Local Projects and MBI ITS Group). It is assumed that there is no existing ITS infrastructure (with the exception of isolated ITS devices) within the TUMF Network roadway segments and essential ITS infrastructure is furnished and installed. This essential ITS infrastructure includes ethernet switch, fiber jumper, fiber distribution unit, splice enclosure, pull box, new cabinet with foundation, 144 strand single-mode fiber optic (SMFO) cable and 3” conduits.

Minor Items, Roadway Mobilization, and Roadway Additions:

A lump sum value is used to account for minor items, roadway mobilization and roadway additions as described below. These lump sum values are recommended based on provisions in Project Development Procedure Manual (PDPM) and the 438

Roadway Additions 10% of earthwork, pavement structure, drainage, specialty items, traffic items and minor items.

II. Structure Items
New Bridge:

New interchanges account for construction of a new bridge. The unit cost for a new travel way bridge construction and RRXings1 and 2 (New and Widening of Rail Grade Crossings) is $400.00 per square foot (Source: MBI Structural group). The width of a new bridge is assumed to be 82 feet (4 lanes x 12ft + 10ft shoulder x 2 + 14ft median).

Bridge Widening:

Bridge widenings account for the widening of existing bridges. The unit cost is $500.00 per square foot (Source: MBI Structural group). The width of a bridge widening is assumed to be: 2 lanes x 12ft + 10ft shoulder. The width of an arterial crossing over rail road is assumed to be 16 feet (1 lane x 12ft + 4ft shoulder).

Structural Mobilization:

The cost for structural mobilization is estimated as 10% of total structure item cost (Source: Typical experience).

III. Right of Way Items
The right of way unit cost varies with land use designation. The unit cost for ROW was developed by Epic Land Solutions, Inc. based on a review of actual property sales within the WRCOG region during the prior 18 month period. The area of right of way acquisition for the travel way is calculated per additional lane mile, assuming the width of the right-of-way required to be 18 feet per lane (to accommodate a 12 foot roadway lane, shoulders and ancillary amenities, like storm water drainage).

The right of way acquisition for RRXings1 and 2 is calculated based on ROW acquisition for bridge approaches.

Property costs per square foot are derived by reviewing a large sample of recently sold land and improved properties within the greater Riverside area. The properties reviewed are identified specifically from completed semi large to very large infrastructure projects and upcoming projects with preferred alternatives and/or approved environmental reports. For the purposes of the 2022 Nexus Study update, an overall sample of approximately 2,700 properties was used.

439

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-9
The properties were designated as: urban areas (generally considered downtown, or very close to downtown in the larger cities - predominantly Corona and Riverside, with a few parcels in Temecula and Moreno Valley); suburban (primarily considered the greater areas of Hemet, Perris, San Jacinto, Moreno Valley, Lake Elsinore, outer portions of Riverside / Corona, Temecula, Murrieta, Calimesa, Eastvale, Norco, and other cities of relative size and location as those previously mentioned); and rural (considered the exurban areas between Corona / Lake Elsinore and Perris along the SR-74/79, Lake Matthews, between Wildomar and Murrieta, Temecula and Perris and other similar areas) to correspond with the land use classifications used for cost estimating purposes in the TUMF program. The properties were also determined to be partial or full property takes to determine the relative percentage of each in order to appropriately weight the average cost per square foot of each type of property. Specialty cost percentages as a share of total acquisition costs (i.e. relocation and demolition) were also derived from actual costs based on a sample of the Inland Empire projects that Epic Land Solutions, Inc. was directly involved in and therefore able to obtain reliable data.

The result is an estimated average cost per square foot for ROW acquisition by land use classification which is then multiplied by the number of square feet per lane mile to obtain the required ROW to accomplish the TUMF typical cross section. The ROW requirement is then reduced by a factor of 75% for urban and suburban areas based on the collective recommendation of the PWC during the development of the initial program cost estimation methodology to reflect the assumption that a majority of the proposed TUMF facilities in these areas already exist and/or have a substantial portion of the necessary right-of-way already owned by or dedicated to the responsible jurisdiction. As a result, the TUMF program only includes the estimated cost for 25% of the right-of-way that could potentially be required to accomplish the TUMF cross sections for the conceptual improvement projects identified as part of the program in urban and suburban areas.

Maintenance of Traffic:

A lump sum value is used to account for maintenance of traffic cost of roadway construction. The project maintenance of traffic cost is estimated as 5% (Source:

RCTC) of the total project cost.

The consolidated unit cost values include typical per mile or lump sum costs for each of the eligible improvement element. These elements include new roadways, bridge improvements, interchange improvements and railroad grade separation construction costs, and right of way acquisition.

The consolidated unit costs as developed for the 2024 Nexus Update are summarized in Exhibit F-1. Exhibit F-2 provides a summary of the unit costs for the various roadway and structures construction elements defined. Exhibit F-3 provides a summary of the unit costs for the various right of way categories. Exhibit F-4 provides worksheets showing the detailed unit cost calculation for each TUMF unit cost category related to roadway and structures construction, and right of way acquisition.

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-10
The unit cost assumptions were subsequently applied to the TUMF Network improvements identified to mitigate the cumulative regional transportation impacts of future new development. The resultant cost value was tabulated for each unique segment of the network, by improvement type. A separate cost estimate was generated for regional transit improvements based on information provided by RTA and added to the TUMF Network Cost Estimate table.

Supplemental categories have been added to the cost assumptions to better delineate the costs associated with planning and engineering a project, accommodating contingencies, mitigating the cumulate multi-species habitat impacts of TUMF arterial highway improvements in accordance with the adopted Riverside County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), and administering the TUMF program.

Soft Costs

The TUMF program provides for planning, engineering and contingency costs (collectively referred to as soft costs) for eligible projects to be reimbursed through the program. As indicated in Table 4.1 , planning costs are considered to include those costs associated with planning, preliminary engineering and environmental assessment of the proposed project, with the eligible amount being 10% of the estimated TUMF eligible construction cost only. Engineering costs are considered to include project study report, design, permitting and construction oversight costs based on 25% of the estimated eligible construction cost only. Contingency is provided based on 10% of the total estimated eligible facility cost.

Soft costs include all reasonable required planning, environmental clearance and mitigation, right-of-way documentation, engineering design, plan, specification and estimate preparation and construction management and oversight costs necessary to accomplish the project. The estimated soft cost factors for planning, engineering and contingency were initially established in 2002 by the WRCOG Public Works Committee, which was responsible for the development of the initial TUMF Nexus Study. The percentage multipliers were established by consensus of the PWC based on the collective experience of members in delivering similar public highway projects. A review of various data sources indicates the cost factors are generally consistent with industry guidance for conceptual cost estimation purposes. The City of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering California Multi-Agency CIP Benchmarking Study (December 2016) indicates that combined design and construction management costs for roadway projects represent, on average, 50% of the total cost of construction 14. Similarly, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Practical Guide for Estimating (December 2011) also cites the following average multipliers for a range of planning and engineering activities based on national research as a basis for conceptual cost estimation:

14 City of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering California Multi- Agency CIP Benchmarking Study (December 2016), Table 3-6 Average Project Delivery Costs by Project Type (% of TCC) (Full Range of TCC).
441

WRCOG Adopted by WRCOG Executive Committee
TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-11

 Preliminary Engineering Costs (including survey/data collection, design, environmental, utilities and contract administration) – 10% to 25% of total construction cost15
 Construction Engineering – 10% to 26% of total construction costs16

Furthermore, the contingency rate utilized in the TUMF program is significantly less than the industry norm for conceptual cost estimation purposes. Specifically, Caltrans Project Development Procedures Manual (July 2021) advocates for contingency rates of 30% to 50% of total costs to be used at the project feasibility (conceptual planning) phase of project development17, with contingency rates reduced to 10% for preliminary engineers cost estimates completed during project design18.

MSHCP

Section 8.5.1 of the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP) Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on June 17, 2003, states that “each new transportation project will contribute to Plan implementation. Historically, these projects have budgeted 3% - 5% of their construction costs to mitigate environmental impacts.” This provision is reiterated in the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Nexus Fee Study Update Final Report (Economic & Planning Systems, Inc., October 2020) section “6. RCA Non-Fee Revenues” which states “The MSHCP forecast an array of revenue sources, in addition to fee revenue, supporting the conservation program. These sources were anticipated to total about 44 percent of the revenue for the program, including:
• Transportation funding – includes the Measure A sales tax which is authorized through 2039 and other transportation funding sources such as the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF) charged on new development.” Table 23 Annual Non-Fee Revenue Projection in this section indicates that an average of $950,000 in MSHCP revenue was derived annually from TUMF during the three years from FY16/17- 18/19 reflecting a TUMF contribution at 5% of construction costs consistent with the MSHCP as adopted in 2003. To clearly demonstrate compliance with the provisions of the MSHCP, the TUMF program will continue to incorporate a cost element to account for the required MSHCP contribution to mitigate the multi-species habitat impacts of constructing TUMF projects.

TUMF Nexus Study – 2024 Program Update September 9, 2024 F-12

An amount equal to 5% of the construction cost for new TUMF network lanes, bridges and railroad grade separations will continue to be specifically included as part of TUMF program with revenues to be provided to the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) for the acquisition of land identified in the MSHCP. The relevant sections of the MSHCP document and the 2020 MSHCP Nexus Report are included in this Appendix as Exhibits F-5 and F-6, respectively.

Similarly, an amount of 4% of the total TUMF eligible network cost is included as part of the TUMF program with revenues to be utilized by WRCOG to cover the direct costs to administer the program. The costs incurred by WRCOG include direct salary, fringe benefit and overhead costs for WRCOG staff assigned to administer the program and support participating jurisdictions, and costs for consultant, legal and auditing services to support the implementation of the TUMF program.

Table 4.1 summarizes the unit cost estimate assumptions used to develop the TUMF network cost estimate, including a comparison of the original TUMF unit cost assumptions and the current revised unit cost assumptions developed as part of the 2009 Update of the TUMF Nexus Study.

8.5 LOCAL FUNDING PROGRAM
The following local funding plan describes the local commitment for funding Reserve Assembly, Management, and Monitoring.

The local funding program includes funding from a variety of sources, including but not limited to, regional funding resulting from the importation of waste into landfills in Riverside County, mitigation for regional public infrastructure projects, mitigation for private infrastructure projects, mitigation for private Development, funds generated by local or regional incentive programs that encourage compact growth and the creation of transit-oriented communities, and dedications of lands in conjunction with local approval of private development projects.

The local funding program will fund the local portion of:
! Land acquisition
! Management
! Monitoring
! Adaptive Management
! Plan administration

8.5.1 Funding Sources
Local funding sources include funding from both public and private developers and regional entities in an effort to spread the financial burden of the MSHCP over a broad base. The mix of funding sources provides an e quitable distribution of the cost for local mitigation under the MSHCP. In addition to equitably distributing mitigation for local projects, utilizing a mixture of funding sources will help ensure the long-term viability of the local funding program because a temporary decline in funding from one source may be offset by increases from another. The proposed local funding sources are described below and include:
! Local Development Mitigation Fees
! Density Bonus Fees
! Regional Infrastructure Project Contribution
! Landfill Tipping Fees

Reserve Assembly and Management
VOLUME I — SECTION 8 June 17, 2003
FINAL MSHCP 8-15
! Other Potential New Revenue Sources
' Local Development Mitigation Fees
New Development affects the environment directly through construction activity and cumulatively through population bases that result from Development. Government Code Section 66000 et seq. allows cities and counties to charge new Development for the costs of mitigating the impacts of new Development. The Cities and County will implement a Development Mitigation Fee pursuant to the MSHCP; this fee will be one of the primary sources of funding the implementation of the MSHCP.

The fee ordinance adopted by the Cities and the County will provide for an annual CPI adjustment based upon the Consumer Price Index for “All Urban Consumers” in the Los Ange les-Anaheim- Riverside Area, measured as of the month of Dece mber in the calendar year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. There will also be a provision for the fee to be reevaluated and revised should it be found to insufficiently cover mitigation of new Development. A fee of approximately $1,500 per residential unit (or an equivalent fee per acre) and $4,800 per acre of commercial or industrial Development was used in the revenue projection shown in Appendix B-05 of this document. The projected revenues from the Development Mitigation Fee are anticipated to be approximately $540 million over the next 25 years. A nexus study is required to demonstrate that the proposed f ee is proportionate to the impacts of the new Development.
' Density Bonus Fees
The New Riverside County General Plan creates a number of incentive plans that have the potential both to further the goals of the Coun ty’s General Plan and to facilitate the implementation of the MSHCP. Section 8.4 .2 above disc usses the use of the Rural Incentive Program to aid in the Conservation of lands through non-acquisition means. An additional component of the Incentive Program enables developers to acquire the right to develop at an additional 25% increase in density by providing enhancemen ts to their pr ojects and by paying a “Density Bonus Fee.” The fee is anticipated to be $3,000 – $5,000 per additional unit. This program offers a significant incentive to developers when compared with the typical cost of creating a new buildable lot.

The Density Bonus progr am is new to Riverside County, and it is, therefore, difficult to project annual revenues. The Local Funding Program assumes that between 10% and 20% of the residential units built in the unincorporated County area will participate in the incentive program and that only 50% of the revenues of the program will be committed to the MSHCP, with the remaining portion staying in t he local community in which the additional units are located to provide additional 460

FINAL MSHCP 8-16
amenities that will help offset the greater density. Of the 330,000 units projected to be built over the next 25 years, 1 0% (or 33,000 units) are assumed to be built utilizing the Density Bonus Fee resulting in $132,000,000 in revenues of which 50% (or $66,000,000) will be allocated to the MSHCP.
' Regional Infrastructure Project Contribution
Regional infrastructure projects directly affect the environment not only through the effect they have on species and their Habitats, but also by facilitating continued new Development. It is appropriate, therefore, for regional infrastructure projects to contribute to Plan implementation . Four general categories of infrastructure projects have been identified:
! Transportation Infrastructure
! Regional Utility Projects
! Local Public Capital Construction Projects
! Regional Flood Control Projects
Transportation Infrastructure
The RCIP has identified the need for approximately $12 billion in new transportation infrastructure to support the Development proposed for the next 25 years. Each new transportation project will contribute to Plan implementation . Historically, these projects have budgeted 3% – 5% of their construction costs to mitigate environmental impacts. The local funding program anticipates that more than one-half of the $12 billion cost of contribution to acquisition of Additional Reserve Lands will be funded locally and will result in approximately $371 million in contribution over the next 25 years as discussed below.
< Riverside County’s ½ cent sales tax for Transportation In 1988, Riverside County voters approved a measure to increase local sales tax by ½ cent to fund new transportation projects (Measure A). The sales tax measure is due to be reauthorized in 2002.

Under the reauthorization, $121 million will be allocated as local contribution under the MSHCP. (For further information on the sales tax measure, see Section 13.5 of the MSHCP Im plementing Agreement and Appendix B-07 of this document).

VOLUME I — SECTION 8 June 17, 2003
FINAL MSHCP 8-17
Regional Utility Projects
As Riverside County’s population doubles over the next 25 years, new regional utility infrastructure will be require d. Since the utilities are not Permittees under the MSHCP, they may choose to mitigate under the Plan or seek their own regulatory permits. In either case, their mitigation will be focused on the objectives of the MSHCP and will contribute to the local implementation funding.

No estimate of the number of projects or the scope or costs is available at this time; consequently, no estimate of mitigation funding has been made. The Permittees expect that regional utility projects will contribute to the implementation of the MSHCP and provide an additional contingency should other revenue sources not generate the projected levels of funding or should implementation costs be higher than projected.

Local Public Capital Construction Projects
Local public capital construction projects may include construction of new schools, universities, City or County administrative facilities, jails, courts, juvenile facilities, parks, libraries, or other facilities that serve the public. These projects will be mitigated under the MSHCP and will utilize a per acre mitigation fee based on the fee then in place for private, commercial and industrial Development.

No attempt has been made to estimate the number or magnitude of these projects. The Permittees expect that local pubic construction projects will contribute to the implementation of the MSHCP and provide an additional contingency should other revenue sources not generate the projected levels of funding or should implementation costs be higher than projected.

Regional Flood Control Projects
Flood control projects will receive coverage under the MSHCP for both new capital construction and for the maintenance of existing and new facilities. Preliminary estimates from the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District indicate that they will likely budget approximately $15 M in projects annually. Based on using 3% of capital costs, the District would be expected to contribute approximately $450,000 to $750,000 annually to MSHCP implementation. Since many flood control projects serve existing developed communities and therefore have less impacts than projects adding capacity to serve new Development and may provide some conservation valu e especially in terms of Constrained Linkages, the District’s contributions may average something below the 5% level on average.

' Landfill Tipping Fees
Riverside County has utilized revenues from public and private landfills in Riverside County to generate funding for conservation and open space projects for over a decade. In 1990, the County utilized $1 per ton tipping fee assessed all waste deposited in County landfills to fund the acquisition of the Santa Rosa Plateau and approximately $260,000 annually to fund the operation of the County Park and Open Space Distr icts. More recently, the County has negotiated agreements with two private landfills in the County to commit $1 per ton on all waste imported from outside Riverside County to Conservation within Riverside County.

El Sobrante Landfill
This privately owned landfill was permitted to expand its capacity to 10,000 tons per day in 2001.

In approving t he landfill expansion, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors authorized fifty cents per ton of the County’s portion of the revenue from the landfill expansion to be applied to Conservation in addition to the $1 per ton that was committed under the landfill agreement. The projection of the annual tonnage and revenue for Conservation included in Appendix B-09 of this document reflects the $1.5 per ton commitment to Conservation. Over the life of the landfill, 60 million tons of imported waste are allowed. Sixty million tons at $1.5 per ton will generate $90 million for Conservation. The Cash Flow Analysis in Appendix B-10 of this document reflects the annual revenues from the El Sobrante Landfill.

County Landfills
The County Board of Supervisors, beginning in 1990, authorized $1 per ton for all in-county waste deposited in County landfills to go toward habitat and open space Conservation. After adjusting for the debt service on the Santa Rosa Plateau acquisition and an annual commitment to the Park and Open Space District, there is a projected annual balance of $400,000 that can be applied to additional Conservation under the MSHCP. Appendix B-09 of this document includes a projection of tonnage from in-Co unty waste at County landfills. The Cash Flow Analysis in Appendix B-10 of this document reflects the annual revenues from the County landfills. Over the next 25 years, County landfills will contribute approximately $10 million to the implementation of the MSHCP. 463

Eagle Mountain
In 1997, the County approved the use of the old Kaiser mine at Eagle Mountain in eastern Riverside County as a regional landfill to serve primarily Los Angeles County. Subsequently, the Los Angeles County Sanitation District has acqui red the rig hts to the Eagle Mountain Landfill and intends to begin operation of the landfill within the next decade. At this time, litigation is still pending th at could prohibit the development of the landfill. The Development Agreement with the County would require the payment of $1 per ton for Conservation if the landfill is developed. Conservation needs in the Coachella Valley would have firs t priority o ver the revenues from the Eagle Mountain Landfill; however, some portion of the revenues would be available to support Conservation needs in Western Riverside County. The Permittees expect that the Eagle Mountain Landfill will provide funding to support implementati on of t he MSHCP over the life of the MSHCP. However, no revenue from the Eagle Mountain Landfill has been projected in the funding program at this time.

These potential revenue s provide a contingency should other revenue sources not generate the projected levels of funding or should implementation costs be higher than projected. ' Potential New Revenue Sources
The County and Cities may levy assessments to pay for services that directly benefit the property on which the fee is levied. Under current law, a local election may be required t o initiall y levy the assessment or to co nfirm the assessment if a protest is filed. No such assessments are currently projected for the MSHCP. As the MSHCP Conservation Area is developed, however, its value as open space and for recreation opportunities may lend itself to a local funding program for ongoing management and enhancement. In more urban areas, which Western Riverside County will be in 25 years, local voters routinely approve such funding programs.

Other revenue opportunities may be realized over the next 25 years. The County, Cities, and RCA will explore new revenue sources to support the acquisition of the MSHCP Conservation Area and its long-term management and enhancement. A goal of any new fee would be to spread a portion of the costs for the MSHCP across as broad a regional base as possible. 464

8.6 ADEQUACY OF FUNDING
The Permittees and the Wildlife Agencies will annually eva luate the performance of the funding mechanisms and, notwithstand ing othe r provisions of the MSHCP, will develop any necessary modifications to the funding mechanisms to address additional funding n eeds. Additionally, this annual evaluation will include an assessment of the funding plan and anticipate funding needs over the ensuing 18 mont hs for the purpose of identifying any potential deficiencies in cash flow. If deficiencies are identified through this evaluation, then the Permittees and the Wildlife Agencies will develop strategies to address any additional funding needs consistent with the terms and conditions of the MSHCP.

1. INTRODUCTION AND KEY FINDINGS
This Updated Nexus Study (2020 Nexus Study) provides the technical justification for changes to the Local Development Mitigation Fee schedule that applies to Local Permittee participants in the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP or Plan). These changes are necessary to ensure adequate funding of the obligations of the Local Permittees under the MSHCP and the associated Incidental Take Permit and Implementing Agreement. The resulting increased fee revenues will support the continued implementation of the MSHCP and the streamlining of endangered species incidental take permitting for new Western Riverside County development provided under the MSHCP. This Nexus Study is consistent with the requirements of California Government Code 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act) that requires specific findings (as well as administration and implementation procedures) for “any action establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project by a local agency.”
Background
The Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP or Plan), originally adopted in 2004, is a comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) focusing on the conservation of species and their associated habitats in Western Riverside County. The MSHCP was developed in response to the need for future growth opportunities in Western Riverside County while addressing the requirements of the State and federal Endangered Species Acts. The MSHCP serves as an HCP pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 as well as a Natural Communities Conservation Plan under the NCCP Act of 2001. The MSHCP streamlines these environmental permitting processes by allowing the participating jurisdictions to authorize “take” of plant and wildlife species identified within the Plan Area. At the same time, Plan implementation provides a coordinated MSHCP Conservation Area and implementation program to preserve biological diversity and maintain the region’s quality of life.

The MSHCP and the associated Implementing Agreement and Incidental Take Permit collectively determine a set of conservation actions that must be taken to meet the terms of the Incidental Take Permit and benefit from the regulatory streamlining and other benefits of the MSHCP. This includes the identification of the responsible parties, including the responsibilities of the Local Permittees.
1 One of the key requirements of the MSHCP, Implementing Agreement, and Incidental Take Permit (consistent with the requirements of the federal Endangered Species Act) is the provision of adequate funding by Local Permittees to the Implementing Entity (the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority2) to conduct their portion of the conservation actions identified in the MSHCP.

1 Local Permittees include the Western Riverside cities, the County of Riverside, County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, County Regional Park and Open-Space District, County Department of Waste Resources, and Riverside County Transportation Commission. 2 The Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Agency is a Joint Powers Authority established in 2004 to implement the MSHCP.

Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Nexus Fee Study Update Final Report October 2020

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 2 C:\Users\ktraynor\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\YAAP6MDD\NexusStudy_Final_23Oct2020.docx Section 8.0 of the MSHCP outlines the MSHCP funding/financing approach. It also identified best estimates of Plan implementation costs at the time of Plan adoption, including the local funding commitment that represents a portion of the overall land acquisition, management and monitoring, and Plan administration costs. The Local Funding Program included a mix of funding sources to provide “an equitable distribution of the cost for local mitigation under the MSHCP.” The proposed funding sources included Local Development Mitigation Fees (and land dedications), regional infrastructure project public contributions (including contributions to mitigate for transportation infrastructure, regional utility projects, local public capital construction projects, and regional flood control projects), and landfill tipping fees.

Participating cities and the County were each required to implement a Local Development Mitigation Fee under California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. (the “Mitigation Fee Act”) and supported by the separate “Final Mitigation Fee Nexus Study Report for the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan,” July 1, 2003 (Original or 2003 Nexus Study). The MSHCP funding chapter notes the need for frequent evaluations of the performance of the funding mechanisms and assessments of the funding plan and the need to make any necessary modifications to the funding mechanisms. The MSHCP also notes that the mitigation fee will need to be “reevaluated and revised should it be found to insufficiently cover mitigation of new development.”
In addition to the common practice of updating mitigation fees periodically to account for changing circumstances, the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) has determined that significant changes have occurred and/or circumstances have arisen that justify an update to the mitigation fees. These changes include, but are not limited to, the following:
• The need to acquire more land than originally forecast due to the lower than expected land dedication.
• The lower-than-expected levels of non-fee funding from local and regional funding sources. • The lower than expected levels of residential development. • The need to diversify land acquisitions away from a focus on the larger, more remote parcels to also acquiring parcels closer to urbanized areas, consistent with the reserve assembly requirements of the MSHCP.

Original and Existing Fee Schedule
All local jurisdictions participating in the MSHCP and obtaining coverage for public and private take in their jurisdictions were required to adopt and implement the 2004 Mitigation Fee Schedule through ordinance and resolution and then to pass through the fee funding (except for any additional administrative charges added by the jurisdictions) to the RCA to fund MSHCP implementation. The ordinances allowed for periodic inflationary increases based on the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside area. In 2018 the Bureau of Labor Statistics implemented a geographic revision, establishing Riverside as its own Core Based Statistical Area. As a result, Riverside was removed from the Consumer Price Index encompassing Los Angeles and Anaheim. Going forward, inflationary increases will be based on the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for the newly established Riverside-San 472

As outlined in the 2003 Nexus Study (Original Nexus Study), all new development in Western Riverside County is required to pay the mitigation fee.

Table 1 shows the original 2004 Local Development Mitigation Fee schedule and the current 2021 Fee Schedule that reflects periodic inflationary fee adjustments using the indexing process that collectively increased the fees by 35 percent between 2004 and 2020 (this was below the overall inflation index increase over this period).
