SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11053 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with NTU Technologies, Inc. for the Purchase of Chemicals for the Water Treatment Plant FROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11053 - A Resolution Authorizingthe City Manager to Execute an Agreement with NTU Technologies, Inc. for the Purchase of Chemicals for the Water Treatment Plant.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom's Water Treatment Plant (WTP) utilizes surface water from Folsom Lake for water supply. The WTP is designed to produce 50 million gallon per day (mgd) of potable water. The treatment processes include rapid mix, pretreatment with a conventional flocculation and sedimentation basin, and an Actiflo system for high rate clarification, a conventional sand/anthracite dual media filter, and solids handling facilities. In order to be consistent with State regulatory requirements and industry best management practices, the City uses a variety of chemicals to aid in the treatment process listed above. These chemicals are vital to these treatment processes.
Several of the chemicals used at the WTP have specific and proprietary properties that require the City to contract directly with companies. These chemicals include:

POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of theFolsom Municipal Code. supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a-value of $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by Ctty Council.
ANALYSIS
When using coagulants, water properties have a large effect on the type of coagulant to use in the treatment process. These properties include alkalinity, water temperature, turbidity and filterability. These water quality properties are very different depending on the time of year, weather events such as storms und stto* melt, and Folsom Lake turnover. Changes in the incoming water qualrty will affect settling rates in filters, sludge production, required chemical dosages, and pretreatment turbidity which can all impact the water quality of the treated watei. In addition, City staff operates a conventional flocculation and sedimentation basin, a high rate Actiflo flocculation system, and a solids handling system that require specific ch-emical additions to properly treatthe water. Using apolymerthat canhandle the whole range of these water propertiesintering the WTP is important to the treatment operators to maintain consistent water qualitY.
The current chemicals used by the City in the treatment process are very successful in providing high water qualrty for the City's water customers. In order to maintain current water quality siandards, any new chemicals must also meet these standards. In order to ensure any new chemicals would be able to meet these standards, the City would have to perform various analytical tests to confirm the new polymer's ability to perform in a variety of conditions. The pro"L5 for testing in all seasons of the year, after storm events, during snow melt, and high alkalinity water would be at least ayeat long process.
In addition to the analytical testing, the City operators would need to inform and follow the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water requirements to confirm that changing chemicals would not adversely affect the water quality produced. A year long trial period io confirm the polymer performance, as well as a contingency plan, would be required by the State.
Furthermore, the City uses specific proprietary chemicals from NTU Technologies at the WTP and receives quality product and good customer service. During calendar year 2018, operators optimized the treatrnent process, which led to reduced polymer usage throughout the system. part of this reduction *ur drr" to service and testing provided by NTU Technologies. NTU has a location in Davis, CA which allows for very quick response to any City problems and requests.

07/11/2023 Item No.5.
EWR staff contacted five water providers inthe area, including San Juan Water District, Placer County Water Agency, El Dorado Irrigation District, City of Roseville and City of West Sacramento to discuss chemical purchasing and usage. Through these discussions with other water providers in the area, itbecame clear that treatment process, water supply, quantity of chemicals purchased, chemical equipment, storage available, and chemical dose all affected which polymer was used at a specific plant. There was no correlation to directly compare polymer usage and pricing.

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 11062 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Accept a Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program offered by the California Highway Patrol in the Amount of $92,772.60 to reduce and mitigate the impacts of impaired driving and Appropriation of Funds.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
In2076, California voters voted in favor of Proposition64, the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act. The legislation decriminalized many aspects of cannabis use. By 2018, it was estimated 42%o of California drivers that were killed in vehicle collisions had tested positive for legal or illegal drugs. To combat this rise, the California Highway Patrol has granted $27 million in funding to qualified applicants in local communities to support education and enforcement of cannabis-related impaired driving. The aim ofthis program is to reduce the number of DUI accident victims.
In an application to the California Highway Patrol, Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program, the Folsom Police Department has requested funding to combat impaired driving. The funds would cover four (4) officers to attend a Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) program, allow the city to host four (4) DUI checkpoints, provide four (4) presentations to school groups on the negative aspects of driving while intoxicated, perform eight (8) Know Your Limits - sober driver/DUl prevention Campaigns, and staff twelve (12) impaired driving saturation patrols. Each of these programs will help to limit the number of impaired drivers within the city.

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL AETIQN
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council'pass and adopt Resolution No. 11064 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation for the Design of the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda System Project.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Environmental and Water Resources (EWR) Department identifies projects that are critical to ensuring the delivery of adequate and high-quality water supply to all water customers through water master plans, ongoing condition assessment programs, and regulatory changes. Through these efforts, City staff identified the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda System Project as a priority project.
In October 2021 through Resolution No. 10713, City Council authorized an agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation to perform a water quality evaluation of the City's current treatment process related to finished water qualrty targets and possible treatment altematives based on the consultant's specialty experience in water treatment processes and familiarity with the Crty's Water Treatment Plant (WTP). Black & Veatch finished the water qualrty analysis for possible treatment alternatives in February of 2023, and recommended the City to switch from the existing lime system to caustic soda.

07/11/2023 Item No.7.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation for the Design of the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda System Project for the City for a not-to-exceed amount of $233,915.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of the Folsom Municipal Code" supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by Ctty Council.
ANALYSIS
In August of 2020, the City hired Black & Veatch to provide an evaluation of the City's "oooriol
control methods and it was recommended by Black & Veatch to add orthophosphate to the City's water treatment process. A follow up evaluation that began in October 2021was recommended to determine if the selected dosage of orthophosphate was able to be optimized or if any modifications to the target finished water pH could further improve the corrosion control treatment (CCT).
This evaluation compared the City's current CCT using orthophosphate with alternative CCTs that included changes in chemical treatments from lime to sodium hydroxide, changes in finished water pU, and changes in orthophosphate residual. Water quality modeling was used to identiff optimal chemical dosages for alternative CCTs. Bench-scale corrosion testing was used to veriff the modeling results and the effectiveness of alternative CCTs towards lead and copper leaching from materials known to be present in the Crty's system.
The recommendation from the finished water quality analysis and alternative bench-scale tests was for the City to switch from the existing lime system to sodium hydroxide (also known as caustic soda) which would allow WTP operators to achieve a specific finished water pH even with seasonal changes in the raw water qualrty with greater reliability and reduced chemical costs. Overall, the optimal condition identified from bench-scale testing involves maintaining the current orthophosphate dosage (0.9 mglL as PO4) and using sodium hydroxide to target a finished water pH of 8.5.
Black & Veatch Corporation was determined to provide the best value to the City based on the past municipal project experience involving work of similar scope and complexity including iechnical knowledge and specialty expertise in water treatment processes, as well as intimate knowledge of the Ctty'r water treatment processes and WTP operations. Their scope of work will include the following:
o Overall project management
o Basis of design report to document design criteria, project implementation, and alternative site designs
o 90Yo and 100%o design plans and specification
. Opinion of Probable Construction Costs
o Issuance ofany required bid addenda

o Conformed to Bid Drawings
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation for the Design of the Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda System Project for the City for a not-to-exceed amount of $233,915.
FISCAL ACT
The Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda System Project is included in the Fiscal Year 2023- 24 Capital Improvement Plan with a total project budget of $3,222,500. Sufficient funds are available in the Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) andthe EWR Department recommends that the contract be awarded to Black & Veatch Corporation for $233,915.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is replacement and/or improvement of existing infrastructure with negligible or no expansion of use and therefore is categorically exempt from environmental review under the Cdifornia Environmental Quality Act as noted in Title 14 - California Code of Regulations, Chapter 3 - Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental q*lrty Act, Article 19 - Categorical Exemptions, Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction), and/or 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land).

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11065 - A Resolution Authorizingthe City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Crafco, Inc. for the Purchase of a Crack Sealing Machine. / ISSUE
The Public Works Deparfinent Street Maintenance Division is responsible for maintenance of the clty's roadways. Crack sealing is an effective road preservation tool that reduces pavement deterioration by preventing water intrusion. Cracks occur on pavement due to traJfic load and thermal stress and if left untreated, can result in more cracks, potholes, deeper erosion, and sub- base failure. Crack sealing can extend pavement life and is an extremely valuable preventative maintenance tool when compared to other more expensive treafrnent options. The division's existing crack sealing machine is twenty-three years old' This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Crafco, Inc. for the purchase of a crack sealing machine. The cost for the purchase of the crack sealing machine will not exceed $95,617.84. Sufficient funds to purchase the crack sealing machine are budgeted and available in the Fiscal Year 2023-24Public Works Fund (Fund 023).

RECOMMENDATION / COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11067 - A Resolution Authorizingthe City Manager to Execute an Agreement with TYMCO, Inc. for the Purchase a Street Sweeper.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Public Works Department Street Maintenance Division operates a street sweeping program for the City of Folsom and sweeps approximately 420 curb miles of curbed streets each year.
Street sweeping keeps city streets looking well-kept by collecting and removing paper, leaves, and other debris that collect in gutters. This minimizes the risks of blocked storm water facilities that may result in localized flooding during heavy rains and allows the crty to remain in compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Additionally, street sweeping reduces dust and is an effective method of removing metal particles and other hazardous waste products left by passing vehicles.
The Street Maintenance Division normally operates with two street sweepers: one as the main sweeper and one as backup. The purchase of a new sweeper will allow for the operation of three street sweepers: two main sweepers and one backup. As the Folsom Plan Area continues to develop and more neighborhoods are completed, an additional street sweeper is needed to ensure that cunent service levels are maintained and that the city remains in compliance with its NPDES permit requirements. During the fall season it is anticipated that all three sweepers will be utilized to pick up leaves to prevent them from blocking the storm water facilities. 1 MEETING DATE: 71tU2023

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 1 1068 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Special Facilities and As-Available Distribution Service Agreement with Sacramento Municipal Utility District and Appropriation of Funds.
BACKGRO / ISSUE
The CiW of Folsom's Water Treatment Plant (WTP) utilizes surface water from Folsom Lake for water supply. The WTP is designed to produce 50 million gallon per day (mgd) of potable water. The treatment processes include rapid mix, pretreatment with a conventional flocculation and sedimentation basin, and an Actiflo system for high rate clarification, a conventional sand/anthracite dual media filter, and solids handling facilities. The Environmental and Water Resources Department (EWR) identifies infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects through water and sewer master plans, ongoing condition assessment programs, and regulatory changes. The analysis also includes projects related to the reliability or redundancy of the water treatment process.
The City is an electrical customer of the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD) receiving service at the WTP. The City owns and maintains its own substation at the WTP and takes electric service from SMUD at 69 kV to accommodate an estimated electrical load capacity of two megawatts. Each year, the City performs routine maintenance and inspection of the 69 kV service at the WTP. To improve redundancy of electrical service at the WTP, the I

EWRtreatment plant staff would like to upgrade an existing 12 kV electric service to be used as a back-up source to the 69 kV service.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute a Special Facilities and As- Available Distribution Service Agreement with Sacramento Municipal Utility District for backup 12 kV electric service from SMUD.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of theFolsomMunicipal Code. supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
In accordance with Sacramento Municipal Utility District's Rule and Regulation 2, Section IV, a Special Facility is a facility or value-added services equipment requested by a customer that are in addition to or in substitution for standard facilities that SMUD would normally provide for the delivery of service at one point, through one meter, at one voltage class under its rate schedules, rules, and regulations.
ANALYSIS
Priorto the 1990's, the City was provided electrical service by SMUD utilizing al2kY service.
As the treatment plant expanded, a new 69 kV service was required. During the transition from a 12 kY service to a 69 kV service, the City requested that the existing 12 kV service remain in place as a backup, but at that time, the City and SMUD did not execute a Special Facilities Agreement for the pu{pose of keeping the 12 kV service as a back-up.
Under the proposed Special Facilities and As-Available Distribution Service Agreement, the l2k[ service will be owned and operated by SMUD and will be used by the City as a backup only. During the annual maintenance and inspection of the 69 kV service, City staff has to physically disconnect the 69 kV electrical service from the treatment plant operations. Typical maintenance activities include oil samples, testing connections and cables, cleaning and load testing. These maintenance services are completed by certified electricians hired by the City.
For each of the treatment processes at the WTP there are backup generators in place in case of emergency outages. Each of these generators provide for a certain number of hours the generator can operate each year and how many hours a generator can operate for the purposes of maintenance and inspection. The current generator permit allows for up to 20 hours per year to operate for maintenance purposes and for up to 200 hours for all operations, including maintenance and emergencies. Typical maintenance operations per year are 13 hours and this results in 187 hours available for emergency purposes, which is slightly less than eight days.
An emergency event is defined as interrupted service caused by an unforeseen event.
Some of the main components of the existing 69 kV service are not parts that are readily available off the shelf if that component needs to be replaced. In some cases, a component can take anywhere from several weeks to several months to acquire. Given that the operating 2 Page 58
07/11/2023 Item No.11.
permit for the generator provides for less than eight days of emergency service, EWR staff recommends upgradingthe 12 kV service to provide redundant and reliable electrical service from the SMUD distribution system. As part of the agreement, SMUD will upgrade the existing 12 kV facilities with new underground and overhead cables, new electrical components, and two new wood poles. The component costs, labor hours, and design time will cost $90,909 for the capital improvements.
In addition to the capital improvements, there are three options for the monthly cost of service charges for Special Facilities. These options include a monthly lease, a l0-year renewable lease, or a one-time payment. Staff is recommending the one-time payment option as this is the least expensive option for the life of the facility at $213,090.70, comparedto 5273,236.40 for the monthly lease or $104,636.26 for the l0-year renewal, which would have to be renewed after year 10 with costs that will likely exceed the $104,636.26 in2023 dollars for a second lO-year renewal. With the one-time payment option, the City would not have to pay any additional monthly service charges in the future, whereas options I and 2 require on-going monthly service charges for as long as the facility is in place. Under either option, the City will still have to pay the monthly usage rates when the facility is used.
F'INANCIAL IMPACT
The Environmental and Water Resources Department is requesting an appropriation of $304,000 to be appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Water Operating Fund (Fund 520) budget. This wilt fund the costs of lhe 12 kV upgrade of $90,909 and the one-time payment for the cost of service of $213,090.70. Funds are available in the Water Operating Fund for this appropriation.
AL REVIEW
This project is replacement andlor improvement of existing infrastructure with negligible or no expansion of use and therefore is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act as noted in Title 14 - California Code of Regulations, Chapter 3 - Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Article 19 - Categorical Exemptions, Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction), and/or 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land).

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. I 1072 - A Resolution Electing the Population and Inflation Factors and Establishing the FY 2023-24 Appropriations Limit.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Gann Spending Limitation Initiative (Article XIII B of the State Constitution) adopted as Proposition 4 in June 1979 (and subsequently modified by Proposition 111 in June 1990), requires the City to annually adopt a resolution setting an appropriations limit for the upcoming fiscal year. The Gann Spending Limitation was intended to provide citizen control of government spending and taxation.
The City Manager's Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CP) was adopted by the City Council on May 23,2023.
POLICY / RULE

of the entity of government for the prior year adjusted for the change in the cost of living and the change in population, except as otherwise provided in this article.
Folsom Municipal Code. Section 3.02.030. Budget
"An Annual Budget shall be prepared by the City Manager, with the assistance of the Finance Director. . . . (G) The City Council shall adopt the annual budget by Resolution by fund and program by affirmative vote of at least three members, on or before the last working day of the last month of the current fiscal year. If the City Council fails to adopt the budget by the last working day of the current fiscal year, the budget as presented by the City Manager shall be deemed adopted."
ANALYSIS
Information from the California Department of Finance regarding population and per capita personal income has now been received and the calculation for the Gann Spending Limitation is attached. The establishment of the 2023-24 Appropriations Limit ("Gann Limif') is necessary to comply with Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. The Gann Limit limits the amount of revenue classified as proceeds of taxes that can be appropriated in any fiscal year by a government entity. Certain exclusions are allowed including transfers, capital outlay and payments for debt service. The maximum allowable appropriation of revenues subject to limitations for Fiscal Year 2023-24 is $131,376,952 and the FY 2023-24 Budget with the exclusions, referenced above, is within this limit. This maximum amount increases or decreases each year depending on the percentage change in the per capita personal income (4.44%) and the percentage change in population (2.I0%). The California Department of Finance has estimated the total population for the City of Folsom as of January 1,2023 as 85,498, and after deducting prison population the estimated population is 81,278. The formula for calculating the limits was based on the Fiscal Year 1978-79 oobase year" revenues. For Fiscal Year 2023-24 the budgeted revenues subject to limitation total $85,457,331 which is $45,919,621 less than the maximum allowed.

Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June 16, 2023
1, Scope of Work
Project Understanding and Approach
EPS's understanding of the Project is based on a review of the City's Request for Proposals (RFP), the Folsom Plan Area (FPA) Specific Plan Fee and Stand-Alone Fees Nexus Study, prepared by Goodwin Consulting Group and dated August 19, 2015 (2015 Nexus Study), and the City's Municipal Code Section 3.120, which implements and codifies the FPA Fee Programs. Based on EPS's review of these documents, EPS understands that the City is seeking a comprehensive update to the FPA Specific Plan Fee and Stand-Alone Fees.
Based on EPS's current role as the fee administrator for the FPA Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee (SPIF) Program, as well as EPS's extensive work authoring public facility financing plans and nexus studies across the Sacramento Region and throughout California, EPS is aware that automatic inflationary adjustments using the Engineering News-Record's Construction Cost Index and Building Costs may not have kept pace with actual construction costs for infrastructure and public facilities in the region. In addition, based on the language in the RFP, EPS understands that the City has updated facilities master plans for several types of public facilities since the 2015 Nexus Study was adopted. As such, the following scope of work is based on the assumption that the number and type of improvements included in the fee program may need to be refreshed as compared with those included in the 2015 Nexus Study.
In addition, the 2015 Nexus Study included provisions regarding the combination or "pooling" of certain fees based on City needs and policy direction at the time.
As part of this nexus study update, EPS will work with the City to evaluate current conditions, seeking input on whether new policy direction needs to be integrated into the updated fees. Further, new provisions of the California Mitigation Fee Act (implemented via AB 602) will need to be considered as part of the fee update.
This proposal describes EPS's experience with these new legal provisions and proposed approach to address AB 602 in updating the fees.
The key to the success of this project will be early alignment between the City and EPS on the driving goals of the project-whether it be updating costs of public facilities improvements to better reflect the current construction cost environment, incorporating changes to the amount or type of facilities included in the FPA Fee Program, or a blend of both. With clear alignment on the goals of the project, EPS can assist the City with prioritizing City and EPS tasks such that the overall work program is completed in the most time- and budget-efficient way possible.

Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area lune 16, 2023
Overall, the EPS Team proposes an approach to this project that couples technical rigor with insightful policy analysis and targeted and timely outreach to the stakeholder com mu n ity.
The EPS Team's approach to fee program analysis is based on understanding the local context and the technical and legal issues inherent in an impact fee study.
This approach relies on a collaborative, iterative, and informed decision-making process. The EPS Team combines sound technical analysis, grounded in legally defensible nexus arguments, with ongoing policy direction from the various stakeholders, including public agency staff and elected officials, the local public, and the development community. These and other measures described in this section are key to completing the project successfully and on budget, within the specified time frame.
While a participatory process can help to achieve politically and economically acceptable fees, it is also important to maintain clear objectives to guide the study process. The ultimate project objective includes establishing a revised set of development impact fees that strike a mutually enforcing balance between infrastructure and public facilities and new development and investment in the City.
The EPS Team considers the following objectives to be the most important for an impact fee study:
The fees must be legally defensible. The fees should be developed and implemented in a fashion that unambiguously complies with applicable State law. The fees should be based on explicit growth and cost assumptions and sound nexus arguments that ensure the types of improvements and facilities and the costs of the improvements and facilities are directly attributable to benefiting land uses.
The fees must be financially effective. The fees developed should provide sufficient means for successfully funding the new improvements and required capital facilities targeted by the program. Given that fee revenues are likely to represent only one, albeit important, funding source for public facilities, the development impact fee program must be effectively integrated with other programs and resources to assure stakeholders (and developers who pay the fees) that the facilities will ultimately be built.
The fees must be politically and economically viable. The fees developed in this process should reflect input from key stakeholders in the community to ensure they receive broad support. Although the technical steps provide the basis for completing the impact fee study, it is recognized that ultimate approval will require compromise and policy choices. To this end, it will be important for both the EPS Team and the City to work closely with key policy makers and other stakeholders throughout the process. In addition, it will be important to understand and monitor the economic implications of the fee a

program to ensure financial burdens on development are reasonable and do not hinder growth. The inclusion of local interest groups throughout the process can engender support for, or reduce opposition to, the fees, making it easier to ensure approval from City policy makers and, ultimately, successful implementation by the development community.
Scope of Work
EPS has created a preliminary scope of work that includes the service tasks outlined in the RFP. As part of Task 1, EPS will confirm this scope of work with City staff and develop a detailed project schedule. EPS used this scope of work to determine a project fee amount as part of this proposal.
Task 1: Project Initiation and Project Management
EPS will work with City staft to confirm the overall project purpose and goals, clarify team roles, and refine each of the project scope tasks to ensure that the study will be both accurate and appropriate to the City's needs, EPS will discuss the specific fee categories with the City and confirm what methodological approach for cost allocation may be most appropriate (e'9., service population, resident population, service calls) depending on how development and population growth impact demand for each type of facility.
EPS will also prepare a detailed project schedule with specific deliverable dates that incorporates time for City review of draft work products and answer any questions pertaining to the successful development of the updated Nexus Study.
As part of this task, EPS will review the current FPA Public Facility Impact Fees, the 2015 Nexus Study to determine the methodology by which facility costs were estimated and how these costs were allocated across the Plan Area's land uses.
This review will help to focus and prioritize EPS'and the City's work to those portions of the fee program that will require the most time and effort to update.
Additionally, EPS will review the City's existing facilities Master Plans, including the Citywide Capital Improvement Plan and master plans specific to the Folsom Plan Area, to further EPS's understanding of the range of facilities and improvements to be included in the updated fee program' As part of this Task 1, EPS will meet with City staff from the Planning and Finance Departments to describe the fee update process and information required. Topics to be discussed at this meeting include:
r Review of overall work program and fee update process. o Overview of Mitigation Fee Act, AB 602, and other relevant statutes and their implications.

o Meetings with City departments to develop/review capital improvements. r Development pipeline and forecasts.
. Public Meetings and Stakeholders.
. Schedule and Next Steps.
r CommunicationProtocol.
Task 2: Data Collection and Development
Subtask 2,7: Update Land Use Projections and Demographic Assumptions Land use information, including projections of future growth, will be important for allocating public facility needs of new development on a pro-rata basis relative to demand generated by existing uses. EPS will work with City Planning and other staff to align these land use projections with the fee program land use categories for each respective impact fee program.
EPS has a distinct advantaoe over other consultants because EPS already possesses much of the Plan Area's land use and demoqraohic information from its work on FPA Soecific Plan Infrastructure Fee administration on behalf of the Citv.
This information includes both tabular data on the total development capacity of the Plan Area by land use type, total development by land use to date, and projected absorption of residential uses by unit type through 2025. In addition, EPS will review relevant current and long-range planning documents and data from the City, including the following documents:
Previous development impact fee studies.
General Plan.
Adopted budget.
Development impact fee schedules.
Specific Plans, Master Plans, and CIP information
Municipal Code Sections (as necessary).
Finally, EPS will draw on available Census data and other sources to update key demographic assumptions for purposes of the fee program calculations, including persons per household, employment densities, and other key assumptions that may be needed.

Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June 16, 2023
Subtask 2,2; llpdate Public Facility Cost Estimates
As described further in the Project Understanding section above, EPS assumes that inflationary adjustments have not been sufficient in keeping facilities'costs close to actual construction or purchase costs for the facilities and equipment included in the fee program, or the City desires to change the improvements included in the updated Fee Program. Based on this assumption and the Ianguage in the RFP, EPS will work with appropriate City departmental staff to update cost estimates for public facilities included in the updated Fee Program.
For all development impact fees, EPS will work with City staff to obtain the list of public facility and infrastructure requirements and associated costs that will constitute the development impact fee improvement program for each of these fee categories (it is assumed that the City will provide these lists and the associated costs). Individual improvement items will include those that are proposed to be funded, all or in paft, by the different development impact fees.
Building from Task 1, EPS will further review relevant City capital facility planning documents, including the City's CIP and existing facility master plans. EPS will rely on City staff to coordinate all interviews with relevant department members to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current and future public facility needs.
EPS will review the City's capital facilities needs and identify which facilities can be included in the development impact fee improvement program from a Mitigation Fee Act/nexus standpoint. Special attention will be paid to ensure that cost estimates include all appropriate and allowable cost items (e.9., land acquisition, construction costs, vehicles, and certain types of equipment). If the fee update is required to comply with new mitigation fee act provisions, enacted by AB 602, the nexus study update also will need to include a CIP. EPS will work with City staff to ensure the CIP is compliant with legal requirements.
In the event that cost estimates for some improvements require additional research and expertise to prepare, the following optional task would be included in the Work Program. If all cost estimates are able to be developed by working directly with departmental staff or by applying appropriate cost adjustment factors, then the optional subtask will not be necessary.
OPTIONAL Subtask 2,3: Prepare Further Detailed Cost Estimates EPS understands that, given staffing and potential time constraints, the City may need EPS to complete some or all of the cost estimates for various projects not included in the master plans. In those circumstances, EPS will be prepared to assist the City in developing cost estimates for those facilities. Depending on the nature of the cost estimates required, EPS will either prepare the cost estimates itself or engage a specialist cost estimator.

Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June 16, 2023
If EPS prepares cost estimates, they will be based on a review of comparable facilities constructed in other jurisdictions. For example, EPS may need to research the average construction prices for park improvements or fire and police stations.
Note that a budget has not been estimated for this optional subtask since it is unknown if this subtask will be required or the extent to which further work on cost estimates will be needed.

Subtask 3,7: Determine Fee Program Approach and Methodology Several common approaches to calculating impact fees attributable to new development exist, including the following methodologies:
Existing Facility Level of Service: This approach determines costs attributable to future development based on current facility inventory, demographic data, and the resulting existing service-level standard. Facility needs attributable to new development are then computed by applying current service-level standards and unit costs to future development projections.
Facilities Master Plan Approach: Under this approach, the local agency identifies total facility needs through development of a facilities or infrastructure master plan and associated capital improvement program.
Impact fee calculations then must determine the appropriate proportion of planned future facilities attributable to demands generated by new development.
The approach used to determine fee program costs may vary based on the specific infrastructure category or public facility under consideration, and in certain cases, a hybrid approach combining the two methodologies may be appropriate. EPS will begin with the assumption that the current fee allocation a

Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June 16, 2023
methodologies are both: (1) efficiently collecting revenue to fund the public facilities identified in the 2015 Nexus Study and (2) were compliant with State law on proper nexus and impact attribution at the time they were adopted' However, since the 2015 Nexus Study and the FPA Fees were adopted, the State passed AB 602), which requires that all development impact fees adopted after July 1, 2O22 be levied proportionately per square foot for residential development. Alternatively, if all of three specific findings can be made for each fee component, the City may comply with AB 602 by describing how those findings have been made and thus fees for residential development may not all be proportionate to building square footage. EPS is working on several active impact fee studies affected by AB 602 and will bring that experience to bear in this assignment.
EPS will discuss these options with City staff, including the City Attorney/Counsel, to determine the preferred approach(es) for the different fee categories. Because this is a new State requirement, there are multiple ways being explored and implemented to address these new requirements'
Subtask 3,2: Prepare Cost Allocation Model
Based on the selected fee program approach(es) and using the land use assumptions and infrastructure needs compiled under the prior task, as well as the City's Master Plans and associated cost allocation identification, EPS will prepare a cost allocation model that appropriately assigns fee program costs to new development by land use category, net of any obligation of existing development.
The cost allocation models will first allocate the development impact fee program costs between new and existing development. EPS will ensure that facility needs and costs associated with existing deficiencies in service levels are identified as such and are excluded from the nexus analysis. For each fee component, EPS will then allocate the development impact fee improvement program costs to the land use categories, using industry standard methods to determine the benefit derived by each land use. Infrastructure and public facilities allocation will be based on the relative contribution of each land use type to the demand for the related improvement cost category. For example, storm drainage facilities are typically allocated based on the impervious surface area generated by each land use category.
Subtask 3,3: Prepare Maximum Allowable Fee Calculation
Based on the above-described cost allocation model, EPS will establish the maximum allowable fee levels for each facility and land use category. EPS will also indicate the level of fee revenues expected from these maximum fees and, where applicable, the level of revenues required from other sources to complement the Fee Program revenues. EPS will provide a table set indicating the 9Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) Page 105
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June 16, 2023
maximum fees by improvement type and land use for the City to review. The fees will include an administrative component to cover the cost of Fee Program implementation and administration.
EPS will discuss the maximum impact fee estimates with City staff and consider the outcomes in light of various issues, including: (1) the relative scale of the fee increase under the maximum fees; (2) particular areas of policy concern over fee levels; (3) potential technical adjustments that would alter the maximum fee levels; (4) the prioritization of capital improvements and the potential to reduce the project list; (5) the opportunities to fund capital improvements through other mechanisms; (6) the scale of funding required from other sources; and (7) comparisons to fee levels and cost allocation methods in other comparable communities.
Based on these discussions, EPS may prepare revised fee schedules reflecting the adjusted, recommended impact fee levels. It is important to note that if the City ultimately implements fees at a level lower than the maximum justified fee levels, the City will need to identify alternative sources of funds to backfill resulting Fee Program revenue shortfalls. EPS will advise the City regarding approaches to assuring that incentive programs and policy adjustments maintain nexus validity and meet AB 1600 reporting requirements.
Subtask 3,4: Fee Comparison
When considering fee updates and whether to adopt the maximum justifiable fees or a lower level, some cities are interested in understanding the fee levels charged for the same capital facility types in peer or neighboring jurisdictions. In tandem with Subtask 3.3, EPS will conduct a fee comparison. Under this task, EPS would work with the City to identify up to five (5) jurisdictions of interest and then research and compile the relevant fee comparison information.
Task 4: Prepare Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study EPS will prepare a comprehensive report that will provide the key background information, the technical analysis, the recommended fee levels, the required nexus findings under the Mitigation Fee Act, and the implementation and administration framework. To the extent necessary, EPS will consult with City staff should it become necessary to defend the development impact fees because of legal or other challenges,
Subtask 4,7; Prepare Administrative Draft Report
EPS will prepare an Administrative Draft Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study documenting the Fee Program update process, approach, methodology, and policy alternatives for City consideration. The report will include individual technical sections documenting the method, assumptions, and calculation of the Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 10Page 106
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
a
a
Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June 16, 2023
maximum allowable fee levels, as well as the requisite nexus findings. The report will also describe the Fee Program implementation.
All assumptions, analysis procedures, findings, graphics, and recommendations will be supported by rigorous technical analysis and will be documented in a clear, accessible, and transparent manner throughout the report and technical appendices. The report will discuss the applicable statutory and legal framework and reference supporting policy documents, including the General Plan and the infrastructure master pla ns.
The nexus methodology will satisfy AB 1600 requirements, offering the following findings for each fee component:
Identify the purpose of the fee.
Identify the use of the fee. If the use is financing public facilities, the facilities must be identified.
Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the need for a public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is being imposed.
Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facilities attributable to development on which the fee is imposed.
If, as part of this update, the City decides not to establish fees directly proportional to residential unit square footage, this report will also include the necessary findings to satisfy the requirements of AB 602.
Subtask 4.2; Prepare Public Review Draft Report
EPS will revise the Administrative Draft Report according to a set of consolidated comments on the report from the City and will prepare a Public Review Draft Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study. EPS will also prepare an associated PowerPoint presentation that will be presented at a meeting of key stakeholders and at a City Council meeting.
The purpose of these meetings will be to relay the technical components of the analysis, identify key fee program variables affecting the maximum justified fee levels, answer questions, offer clarifications, and solicit community and stakeholder input regarding the "optimal" fee level.

Subtask 4.3: Prepare Final Report
Once the technical analysis and recommended fees have been described and relevant feedback received, EPS will work with the City to determine a final recommended fee schedule and other fee program parameters. EPS will prepare a Final Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study reflecting any changes, which will be considered for adoption at a City Council meeting. Following the meeting, EPS will make any revisions that may be requested by the City Council.
Subtask 4.4: Calculation Spreadsfieets and Methodology
EPS will provide the City with the Excel-based model used to (1) compile the costs of public facilities by type, and (2) allocate these costs across each land use. EPS will also hold one meeting with relevant City staff to present the structure of the model and ensure that City staff fully understand the methodology used to construct the model. EPS will also train City staff at this meeting to update the model to account for inflationary adjustments using relevant indices such as the Consumer Price Index, Construction Cost Index, and the Building Cost Index.
Task 5: Presentation of Materials
Beyond the Project Initiation Meeting in Task 1, the departmental check-ins and other noted meetings in Task 1, and the discussions on comments on Technical Reports in Task 6, EPS will lead and present at 4 public meetings, including 1 City Council Study Session reviewing the Public Review Draft Technical Report, one City Council Adoption Hearing/First Reading of the Final Technical Report, as well as 2 public stakeholder meetings with participants to be determined by City staff (though with at least 1 focused on the development community). For the 2 stakeholder meetings, it is assumed that City staff will organize the meeting and invite attendees and EPS will facilitate the meeting, present at the meeting, answer questions, and take notes. EPS will also support City staff in the preparation of staff reports for public meetings.

Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June 16, 2023
Public Infrastructure Financing and Impact Fees
EPS has evaluated, recommended, or supported implementation of a broad range of financing mechanisms for infrastructure improvements and ongoing public services. Specific services provided by EPS include forecasting demand to assist in infrastructure design, sizing, and timing; allocating capital costs among participating entities; identifying, forecasting, and establishing various funding mechanisms; formulating nexus studies/fee schedules, assessment rates, Special Tax Formulas, and fee ordinances; and assessing the impacts of capital financing alternatives on project feasibility and public finance negotiations.
EPS has particular expertise in the preparation of impact fee studies and programs, and has worked with dozens of cities, counties, and special districts to provide these services. EPS's impact fee-related products and services range from single-purpose fees focusing on particular facilities or subareas to more comprehensive, multi-improvement programs spanning entire cities or numerous jurisdictions. The firm is well-versed in the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600) and associated legislation, and our impact fee work often includes revenue projections as well as assessments of the fees' impacts on new development.
EPS's expertise in real estate economics allows us to help public agencies ensure that desired private development investments remain feasible while also contributing to public improvements. This is particularly important where cities are considering the adoption of numerous new fees and other development charges. Also, our expertise in fiscal impact analysis helps public agencies understand the ongoing financial consequences of their public investment decisions. As requested in the RFP, EPS is providing a relevant sample of work in Appendix B that demonstrates EPS's expertise in the realm of nexus studies and impact fee programs. The attached report, completed for the City of Sacramento's Department of Utilities, demonstrates EPS's methodology for calculating fees and complying with the legal requirements of relevant regulations, including the Mitigation Fee Act and AB 602.
What Makes EPS Different?
Unlike some of our competitors, EPS works extensively with both public agencies and private developers. As a result, EPS has a deep understanding of public concerns for policy formation and stakeholder outreach, as well as for the development community's perspectives, feasibility concerns, and go/no-go decision-making processes. This experience supports and is supported by an analytical approach that stresses rigor, transparency, and objectivity rather than advocacy and one that results in a realistic view of the evolving limits of feasibility in financial markets. Through this approach, EPS engenders the trust of clients in both the public and private sector. In some public-private development projects, Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 14Page 110
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June {6, 2023
EPS has started out working for the public agency and then later has been retained by the private developer, or vice versa.
In addition to an understanding of both the public and private side of development, EPS generally has a more robust and broader practice than its competitors. EPS's practice includes affordable housing and housing policy; real estate market analysis; reuse and revitalization strategies; and economic/fiscal impact analysis. As a result, EPS is able to address land use planning and policy from a more holistic perspective that includes the concerns of private developers, but also the economic development and fiscal realities of public agencies.
Lastly, as described above, EPS is uniquely familiar with the City of Folsom and the greater Sacramento region. From ouroffice in Sacramento, EPS has assisted with public facilities financing plans, nexus studies, and fee administration in numerous jurisdictions in the area, including the cities of Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Rocklin, Woodland, and Citrus Heights, as well as Sacramento, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, and Yuba Counties. Our current work in the FPASP Infrastructure Fee Program as well as our numerous projects throughout the region give us unique insight and an innate understanding of development economics in the City of Folsom, and our familiarity with City staff and processes ensures that communication on the project would be efficient and effective. In concert with EPS's institutional knowledge built over 40 years of work in public finance, this specific knowledge of the City of Folsom makes EPS uniquely qualified to provide the services requested by the City.

Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, Financing Plan, CFD Formations, and Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee Program
Sacramento County/City of Folsom, California
EPS was retained by the Folsom South Area Owners'Group (FSAG) to prepare a Public Facilities Financing Plan (Financing Plan) for the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPASP). The FPASP is located in the City of Folsom on approximately 3,500 acres, located south of U.S. Highway 50. The FPASP is envisioned to add approximately 10,000 dwelling units and 5.2 million building square feet of commercial space to the City of Folsom. The Financing Plan presented a comprehensive strategy to finance the backbone infrastructure and other public facilities required to serve the proposed development. The financing strategy included the use of city fees, school district fees, other regional agency fees, plan area fees, and several land-secured financing districts.
Subsequently, EPS was retained by the City of Folsom and the FSAG to help implement the financing mechanisms identified in the adopted Financing Plan. EPS has assisted in the formation of three areawide CFDs funding a variety of infrastructure and public services, as well as multiple development-project- specific CFDs aimed at funding backbone infrastructure required for the respective projects. Additionally, EPS authored the 2015 FPA Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee Nexus Study, completed an update to that Study in2020, and is currently in the process of authoring another comprehensive update to the 2020 Study. Lastly, EPS has also been retained by the City of Folsom as the third-party Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee Program Administrator, a role in which the firm is still serving to this day.

Roseville Public Facilities Infrastructure Fee Nexus Study Update Roseville, California
The City of Roseville's Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFF) Program was established in 1991. EPS prepared the most recent 2020PFF Program Nexus Study Update, as well as the prior 2015 update'
The PFF Program funds new development's obligation to construct public facilities serving residents and employees in the City of Roseville. Fee program-eligible public improvements include Police and Public Safety Facilities; General Public Facilities such as Civic Centers, Corporation Yards, and other basic infrastructure; and Community Facilities such as libraries, parks and recreation facilities, community centers, and cultural facilities.
The proposed updated development impact fees for these facilities were established by allocating the costs of capital improvements needed to serve new development to the projected new development by residential and nonresidential land use category through buildout of the City of Roseville's General Plan. The cost allocations were based on the relative benefit derived from the improvements by each development type. Future development's share of future public improvement costs was based on planned facilities as determined by the City of Roseville and calibrated by existing level-of-service standards. The costs of the construction of public facility improvements required to cure existing level-of- service deficiencies were estimated and excluded from the PFF calculation.
The resulting development fees comply with the provisions of California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. The City of Roseville adopted the 2020 PFF Program Nexus Study Update in September 2O2O'

Fresno Development Impact Fee Nexus Studies for Parks, Major Streets' and Police and Fire Facilities-2O15 Update
Fresno, California
Having recently completed a General Plan update, the City initiated a comprehensive update to its citywide development impact fee programs, with the goal of incorporating updated population and employment estimates, traffic analysis, park and recreation facility standards and public safety needs assessments. The City engaged EPS to prepare updated nexus studies establishing the maximum justified fees for Fire, Police, Parks, Regional Streets and New Growth Area Major Streets. With a primary focus on equity and with consideration to the City's economic development objectives, the fee program updates were calibrated to establish maximum justified fees based on each user's impact on the facilities in question (i.e., major streets, fire, police, and parks facilities).
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 18Page 114
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Nexus and Impact Fee Study for Public Facilities in the Folsom Plan Area June 16, 2023
EPS's analysis established development impact fees for these facilities by evaluating the capital improvement needs relative to existing and projected new development, the proportional demand for new facilities generated by each land use category and user type, and the provisions of Government Code Section 66000 et seq. Each fee program also accounted for existing service level deficiencies, fee program fund balances, debt service for bond-financed facilities, outstanding credit and reimbursement agreements, and other funding sources available to offset fee program costs. In addition, where supported by capital improvement programming and service level standards, the fee program analysis evaluated and accounted for differential facility demand characteristics associated with urban core development relative to new growth development areas.
The final nexus study reports were adopted by the City of Fresno in December 2016. After the adoption of these nexus studies, EPS prepared an additional Fire Nexus Study Update that updated the fire fees. The purpose of this report was to update the fire fees to reflect substantially higher Fire Capital Improvement Plan costs than anticipated at the time the 2016 Nexus Study was completed. This Fire Nexus Study Update was adopted by the City of Fresno in June 2019. Most recently, EPS completed analysis for new fee amounts for fire facilities, police facilities, major roads and bridges, and parks, in addition to a nexus study for each of these fees in 2O22. The updated fees for fire facilities, police facilities, and major roads and bridges were adopted by the City in 2022, and the City will consider the updated park fee in 2023.

North Natomas Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and Financing Plan Update
Sacramento, California
EPS has worked with the City of Sacramento for over 25 years on the development and implementation of the North Natomas Community Plan infrastructure and public facility fee program. Key to the financing strategy was implementation of the North Natomas Development Impact Fee Nexus Study, which established the following fees: PFF, Transit Fee, Public Facilities Land Acquisition Fee, and Regional Park Land Acquisition Fee. North Natomas development is well underway and many of the original improvements have already been completed. The PFF currently funds transportation, fire, library, community center, and bikeway improvements.
The North Natomas Nexus Study specifies the required remaining backbone infrastructure, regional park land, and public land needed to serve the residents and employees in North Natomas and allocates the improvement and land costs to the remaining development using appropriate common use factors that measure the relative benefit to each land use. In addition, the PFF fee-funded Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 19Page 115

costs are adjusted by the available account balance and outstanding fee credits and reimbursements owed to developers for the construction of infrastructure.
The nexus study details implementation of the fee program, including collection of the fees, the use of fee credits and reimbursements, the required methods by which the different costs and fees are adjusted annually, the procedures for issuing and using fee credits, and the method by which outstanding fee credits and reimbursements are adjusted annually.
In addition to establishing the original North Natomas Nexus Study in 1995, EPS has worked with the City of Sacramento to provide ongoing implementation and administration support, including updates in 1999, 2002,2005, 2008, and most recently,2017. EPS's work on the North Natomas Nexus Study not only established the legally required nexus findings needed to establish and update the fee, but through ongoing implementation and administration work, EPS has ensured that the fee program is financially effective. Accounting for changes in future development projections, facilities requirements, facility cost estimates, cost allocation methodologies, and remaining credits and reimbursements, EPS's analysis and updates have ensured that facilities are constructed when needed to serve new development.
The City of Sacramento adopted the 2017 North Natomas Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update in February 2018, continuing the long-term successful implementation of the plan and associated financing strategy.

Nevada County Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Nexus Study Nevada County, California
In 2018, the County of Nevada engaged EPS to prepare an update of the county's Park and Recreation Facilities Fee Nexus Study (Nexus Study) for the western portion of unincorporated Nevada County. The previous Nexus Study had been prepared in 1997 and fee levels had not been escalated or adjusted since that time. The effort was further complicated by the need to coordinate with 3 independent park and recreation districts as well as the incorporated Cities of Grass Valley and Nevada City, all of which work with Nevada County to provide park and recreation services to western Nevada County residents. Working with an engaged stakeholder community focused on improving parks and recreation services in Nevada County, as well as the several jurisdictions involved in providing park services, EPS updated the impact fee calculations for 4 distinct recreation benefit zones in Nevada County. The updated Park and Recreation Facilities Fee Study included Quimby land acquisition, park development and trail improvements. The nexus study update required detailed analysis by benefit zone to establish demographic, land valuation and other assumptions, including establishing service levels standards with consideration to existing service levels Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

4. Disclosures and Conflicts of Interest
EPS has provided consulting services to hundreds of public- and private-sector clients throughout the United States since 1983. EPS offers consulting services in real estate market analysis, feasibility analysis, fiscal impact analysis, infrastructure financing strategies, affordable housing strategies, and similar areas of expertise that are of value to local jurisdictions and authorities, as well as to developers. EPS has been involved in several public/private development negotiations throughout the United States, usually under contract to the public- sector party, but sometimes under contract to the private-sector party.

SELECTED PROJECTS
Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan-Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee EPS worked with City of Folsom staff and the Folsom Plan Area Owners'Group to implement a plan area-specific fee program for backbone infrastructure, as well as park and public facility land acquisition. The fee program includes approximately $350 million of roadway, sewer, storm drainage, dry utility, and water infrastructure anticipated to be constructed by property owners in the specific plan area. EPS prepared the original and one subsequent update to the impact fee nexus study. In addition to its work on the nexus studies, EPS is actively engaged by the City of Folsom as a third-pafty fee program administrator for the Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee.
City of Turlock Master Storm Drainage Development Impact Fee Nexus Study The City of Turlock engaged EPS to prepare a Nexus Study to document the maximum justifiable Master Storm Development Fees (Storm Drainage Fees) that could be collected from new development. EPS worked with the City and the City's Storm Drain Master Plan consultant to establish projected new land uses, the facilities needed to serve new development, and prepared the Nexus Study document meeting all statutory requirements needed for the fee program update, Roseville Sierra Vista Specific Plan Fee Program
Working with City of Roseville staff and an engaged propedy owner stakeholder group, EPS prepared a nexus study to implement development impact fees for new Specific Plan development projects. The Infrastructure component of the fee program funded drainage facilities, including drainage basins and pipes. The fee program includes features to help guide future implementation of the fee program as new Specific Plan development occurs. In addition to its work on the original nexus study and subsequent update, EPS is actively engaged by the City of Roseville as a third-pady fee program administrator for the Sierra Vista Specific Plan Fee Program.
Reclamation District No. 784 Drainage Impact Fees
Working on behalf of Reclamation District (RD) 784 located in Yuba County, EPS completed a nexus study updating the RD 784 Drainage Impact Fee Program, which allocated the costs of nearly $40 million in drainage improvements serving new development in three separate drainage basins and two sub-basins. 400 Capitol Mall, 28th Floor r Sacramento, CA 95814

Sacramento Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Update
EPS helped the City of Sacramento conduct a comprehensive update of their fee programs calibrated to market and economic limitations. EPS prepared infrastructure cost burden comparisons and development feasibility analysis to identify the capacity for new and increased fees, conducted extensive stakeholder outreach and assisted the City to refine their fee program proposals in response to market and economic limitations.
Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area Public Facilities Financing Plan, CFD Formation, and Finance Plan Administration
EPS prepared a Public Facilities Financing Plan that set forth a strategy to finance backbone infrastructure (including storm drainage improvements) and public facilities needed to serve 1,900 acres in northwest Rocklin, The Plan optimized funding sources that minimize the financial burden on undeveloped land while assuring that necessary facilities will be constructed when needed. Financing Plan implementation included formation of a Mello-Roos CFD and a development impact fee program for infrastructure and public facilities. Finally, EPS has been assisting City of Rocklin staff in implementing property-owner obligations related to the Nofthwest Rocklin Annexation Area Financing Plan,
Fresno Major Streets, Police, Fire, and Parks Impact Fee Updates EPS prepared a comprehensive update to the City of Fresno's major streets, police, fire, and public safety impact fees. EPS worked with the City of Fresno and development community stakeholders to define the capital improvement program, develop cost allocation approaches that take into consideration bond-financed facilities and existing deficiencies, as well as other considerations. EPS also prepared a comprehensive comparison of regional infrastructure cost burdens to facilitate calibration of fee program proposals and implementation.
Sacramento Citywide Transportation Development Impact Fee The City of Sacramento retained EPS to update its Transpodation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) Nexus Study, The previous TDIF Nexus Study, completed in 2010, was never adopted by the City Council, and EPS understood the City of Sacramento intended to update the 2010 TDIF Nexus Study to reflect revised improvement costs, land use assumptions, and fee program methodological approaches, Roadway improvements, traffic signals, transit improvements, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements all benefitted new development in the City of Sacramento.
Nevada County Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study The County of Nevada (Nevada County) engaged EPS to prepare an update of its Park and Recreation Facilities Fee Nexus Study for the western portion of unincorporated Nevada County (i.e., west of the Truckee-Donner Parks and Recreation District). With five separate recreation benefit zones, park and recreation services in Western Nevada County are provided by a combination of Nevada County, three separate park districts, and independent recreation service providers for those areas of Nevada County not served by a park district. Complexities related to park and recreation service provision required specialized analysis and outreach to ensure the impact fee appropriately accounted for level-of-service considerations, as well as needed resources, to implement construction.
Elk Grove Roadway and Capital Facilities Fee Programs Update EPS worked with City of Elk Grove staff and Council and an engaged developer stakeholder group to comprehensively update the city's roadway and capital facilities fee programs, EPS worked with the City of Elk Grove and stakeholder groups to identify facility needs to serve future development, develop future facility cost estimates, and establish a nexus-based fee program to fund those improvements and maintain the desired level of service. The city's Capital Facilities Fee Program included civic center, police, library, corporate yard, and transit facilities components.
Turlock East Tuolumne and Westside Industrial Specific Plan Fee Updates Working on behalf of the City of Turlock, EPS reviewed engineering cost estimates, allocated the infrastructure costs to new development, estimated a development impact fee based on those costs, and compared those fees with development impact fees from other jurisdictions, This comparative analysis illustrated how the proposed fees could affect the project's competitiveness with other similar types of development projects in the region, EPS assisted the City of Turlock to develop alternative development scenarios and facilities phasing to arrive at a feasible financing strategy. EPS incorporated the fee analysis into a nexus study.

SELECTED PROJECT EXPTRTEruCT
Sutter Pointe Specific Plan
Working with Sutter County and a developer group/ EPS prepared a public facility financing plan, urban services plan, and fiscal impact analysis for the Sutter Pointe Specific Plan, which plans for more than 17,500 homes and 50 million square feet of commercial space on 7,500 acres. Currently, EPS is supporting implementation of these financing plans by preparing a Sutter Pointe Specific Plan Fee Program Nexus Study and Urban Services Implementation Plan, In addition, EPS is providing technical support to Sutter County to assist with the formation of community facilities districts to fund and construct backbone infrastructure and provide public services in the project area, Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Fee Program and Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee EPS worked with City of Folsom staff and the Folsom Plan Area Owners'Group to implement a plan area-specific fee program for backbone infrastructure, as well as park and public facility land acquisition. The fee program includes roadway, sewer, storm drainage, dry utility, and water infrastructure anticipated to be constructed by propefty owners in the specific plan area. EPS prepared the original and one subsequent update to the impact fee nexus study. In addition to its work on the nexus studies, EPS is actively engaged by the City of Folsom as a third-party fee program administrator for the Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee.
Upper Westside Specific Plan
EPS is working with Sacramento County and a developer group to develop a public facility financing plan and urban services plan for the Upper Westside Specific Plan, which calls for infrastructure and public facilities to support approximately 9,350 homes and more than 3 million square feet of commercial space in Sacramento County. For the public facilities financing plan, EPS is working with several public agencies to determine the optimal timing of public infrastructure development, ensuring that private development in the Upper Westside area is served by adequate infrastructure and the costs of public infrastructure are shared equally by all development in the plan area, City of Merced Public Facilities Financing Plan and Impact Fee Update EPS worked with the City of Merced to provide a comprehensive fee update for infrastructure and public facilities including major roads and bridges, fire, police, and park facilities, and public works infrastructure projects. The updated fee programs are envisioned to contribute over $230 million to new infrastructure and public facilities. Key issues included analyzing the allocation of new public facilities costs between new and existing development and the contribution of non-residential development on roadway demand. EPS's analysis ensured that new development contributes its fair share to new infrastructure and public facilities as the City's population continues to grow' 455 Capitol Mall, Suite 701 .

Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February 13,2023
1. Executive Summary
Introduction and Background
In 2011 and 2019, the City of Sacramento (City) Department of Utilities (DOU) prepared Development Impact Fee (DIF) programs using consultants Wildan Financial Services and NBS, respectively. These programs addressed methodologies, costs, maximum justifiable fees, and legal compliance to serve new development in each of the four utility systems administered by DOU: Water, Separated Sewer, Combined Sewer, and Storm Drainage. For a variety of reasons, these efforts were not implemented. In 2022, DOU engaged Economic & Planning Systems, Inc, (EPS) to refresh these efforts in their entirety.
Establishing impact fees requires the identification of the proportional share of improvement costs for current and future customers for existing and planned capital improvements. This measurement of equity, followed with the implementation of the maximum justifiable fees, assures that rate payers do not subsidize new growth and vice versa. With these basic considerations, discussed in general below and in detail in later chapters and supporting appendices, are the data elements, methodologies, and considerations used to determine proportional shares, funding requirements, and impact fees for each of the four utility systems.
Accompanying each section is the required structure and focus of a Nexus Study under the State of California's Mitigation Fee Act (CA Government Code Section 66000 and following), which prescribes the means by which public agencies may impose and adopt development impact fees'
The remainder of this section covers the following topics:
o 2O4O General Plan Linkage
o Impact Fee Methodology, Types, and Limits
o Infrastructure Needs, Facility Standards, Level of Service, and Deficiencies . Standard Cost Adjustment Methodology
r Systemwide versus Special Benefit

Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February 13,2023
2O4O General Plan Linkage
The current timing of the DIF effort coincides with that of the City's 2040 General Plan Update. The parcel-specific Housing and Employment projections through the 2040 planning horizon are used to establish the likely demand for utility services for this period. Importantly, projected development in the 2040 General Plan is for the period 2OL6-2040 for employment and 2077-2040 for housing. This report adjusts these projections by accounting for development that has occurred through April2022 as evidenced by completed building permits. The projections in this study are for the period 2022-2040 or 2023-2040, depending on what is being projected. Also of note is that the Water Master Plan, currently in process by DOU, draws on the same 2040 Master Plan Update projections.
The projections of new and existing demand vary by the geographic area served by each system and, in the Separated Sewer System and the Storm Drainage System, by each subbasin. Only the Water System is citywide. The citywide Housing and Employment projections used in this report are as shown on Table 1-1.

These parcels will be developed more intensively. Any reductions in employment or housing caused by this intensification are deducted from the protected growth. The projection is net growth.
The projections for each utility system and basin are provided in each relevant section and in the appendices of this report.

Housing by type and employment by standard industry classifications (SICs)1 are used to estimate water demand and sewer and drainage capacity requirements.
Housing type and employment by the SICs are associated with land use types. For nonresidential propefties, employment by land use establishes a square footage requirement for new employees. The conversion factors are included as Appendix A-1. With square footage values and housing unit data associated with land use types, there are standard and customary measures of demand by land use for all utility systems in this report. Also, the location data in the General Plan projection is an important determinant of demand. Location determines the service received, as well as basin location and parcel size, all of which are important drivers of demand. All of these demand indicators for each service are as shown on Table 1-2.

Sources: DOU, City of Sacramento Community Development Department and EPS Exec_2 Each demand indicator has demand factors that adjust by the expected capacity requirement of a land-use type or by the measured new impermeable suface.
In the Water System, the Separated Sewer System, and the sewer service of the Combined Sewer System, the factors used (EMs and ESDs) adjust by land use from a base of 1 for the typical requirements of single-family detached dwellings for the service received. The Storm Drainage System and the drainage aspect of the Combined Sewer System use new impermeable surface as the demand indicator. The impermeable surface demand indicator is always site-specific to actual, measured new impermeable surfaces. An illustration of the demand indicators with examples of some of the associated demand factors is shown in Table 1-3.

All of the demand factors for all land uses are discussed for each utility in the chapters that follow.
In general, all of the demand factors, applied to all current and future land uses, measure the existing and future capacity requirements of all systems. These requirements are shared between current and future development in proportion to the demands placed by current and future development'
Impact Fee Methodology, Types, and Lamits
The Buy-In and Incremental Approaches
Improvement costs for which a proportionate share can be determined include both existing and future improvements^ A new water connection, for example, is benefitting from all of the past investment made by existing rate payers to acquire, produce, and deliver water. The current value of those assets is an investment value, or cost/ in which new development should participate. A future improvement to increase water production capacity would be a responsibility of new growth if that capacity is not also required to improve an existing capacity deficiency, in which case, a shared responsibility would be required.
The two types of improvement costs and the proportional share considerations they involve describe two different impact fee methodologies: the Buy-ln approach and the Incremental Cost approach. The Buy-In approach determines the value of current assets and allocates on a reasonable-relationship basis a 4Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) Page 140
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February L3,2023
proportionate share of the assets new growth will use. For example, the basis used in this report for the Water System is the total future water Equivalent Meters, which vary by land use as a size difference and is a reasonable measure of the demand requirement. The new growth percentage share of those meters by land use is the allocation mechanism for sharing existing facility costs.
The Incremental approach determines the planned infrastructure costs necessary to provide adequate levels and standards of service to current and new customers. Proportionate shares are typically an engineering determination of who benefits. These shares can be determined by the percentage approach used in the Buy-In approach, if that is reasonable. This, in fact, is the approach used in some of the future capital projects in the Water System. Other projects are assigned a specific percentage based on project-specific benefit. The Water System model allocates some of its projects in this manner. The Separated and the Combined Sewer Systems allocate all future capital projects directly to new growth because the identified projects are required to create the storage capacity necessary to accommodate new growth.
A simple matrix of the impact fee methodologies used in this repoft is shown on Table 1-4.

The Limits of Impact Fee Methodologies and the Need for Regular Updates The methodology used, whether the Buy-In approach, the Incremental approach, or a combination (known as the Combined approach) is determined by data availability, feasibility, and management discretion. These factors define the scope, type, and limits of the impact fee methodology' There are, for example, substantial existing assets in the Combined Sewer System with significant current value. However, a Buy-In approach is not being used because of the difficultly in valuing these assets or their replacement cost. Some of the assets are more than 100 years old. The service area is also highly developed with complex underground infrastructure that is not always well documented. As a result, actual 5Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) Page 141
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February L3,2023
replacement costs on a systemwide basis cannot be reasonably estimated. In this circumstance, the existing Combined Sewer assets are improved through projects on an as-needed basis with other funding means, including with development or other agreements, bond financing, revolving funds, lines of credit/ or other rate- based funding.
The limitations imposed by the condition and amount of information regarding existing infrastructure largely determine the methodologies that can be used.
These considerations are just one element in the careful construction of a development impact fee program, which requires scrupulous attention to the substantive and procedural requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act.
Methodologies are also limited by constantly changing circumstances in actual growth, cost inflation, and other changes. Impact fees are calculated assuming a level of demand growth that almost always will be different than that projected.
As discussed further below, the infrastructure costs in this report are based on January 2022 dollars, which will automatically adjust annually on an index basis.
However, that mechanism is rarely adequate in matching actual costs, which cannot be known with precision without actual construction. Indexes are also lagging indicators, whereas construction contracts are real-time. For these and other reasons, actual costs rarely match predicted costs. Finally, the need for a project can change as service priorities and technologies adapt. The reality of these circumstances underscores the importance of regular updates that account for actual project costs and reassess planned projects, growth demands, and readjusts impact fees as appropriate. State law requires updates every 8 years.
The complexity and issues involved in the impact fee programs in this report may indicate updates on a much more frequent basis.
Infrastructure Needs, Facility Standards, Level of Service, and Deficiencies
All infrastructure in this report is identified and prioritized under operating standards that take one, or both, of twO forms: "standards of Service" or "level of service", Standards of service refer to adopted policies in law or professional practice that are either in place for a particular service or are intended to be.
Level of service refers to the actual service benefits in place. When the benefits received are less than the standards of service, a deficiency exists.
As mentioned above, new development cannot be required to fund deficiencies for existing customers. However, deficiencies in facilities that serve both new and existing customers can be split on a proportional share basis, In these instances, the level of service is, and must be, improved for all customers. 6Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.

Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February 13,2023
In most instances in this report the planned capital projects have been identified either to maintain existing levels of service as growth occurs or to not perpetuate deficiencies. Utility services are unique in that new customers create a direct, immediate impact on the capacity requirements of the service being provided.
There must be sufficient capacity in these systems to provide a consistent level of service for all customers at the appropriate service standard. All projects on which impact fees are calculated in this report are designed to address deficiencies or capacity improvements that are shared or new capacity exclusively for new development.
Standard Cost Adjustment Methodology
Throughout this report, dollar values are stated in January 2022 dollars for all existing system assets values, for all estimates of future capital costs, and for all fee calculations. The adjustment methodology is a simple average of two widely used Construction Cost Indexes (CCIs) published by the Engineering News-Record (ENR):
ENR-CCI for San Francisco as of January.
ENR-CCI 20 California Cities Average as of January
The use of this method dampens price spikes in any one city, although San Francisco is given more weight because its economics have a significant influence on the City due to its size and proximity.
Annual Adjustment
Any adopted development impact fees will adjust annually on July 1 in accordance with the methodology.
Systemwide Versus Special Benefit
Whether directed at existing deficiencies or capacity improvements for new development, all projects in this report also create systemwide capacities. Specific development projects required to extend water distribution lines or sewer collection lines or to install self-contained drainage systems are required to self- fund these improvements.
Nexus Requirements
The purpose of a Nexus Study is to establish the legally required nexus (or reasonable relationship) between projected new residential and nonresidential development in the City through General Plan buildout and the capital facilities that will be required to serve that new development'
7Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) Page 143
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February L3,2023
The nexus requirements for imposing development impact fees were established under Assembly Bill (AB) 1600 legislation, as codified by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act; California Government Code section 66000 and following). The Act sets forth the procedural requirements for establishing and collecting development impact fees. These procedures require that "the impact fee advances a legitimate state interest, that a proper nexus between the impacts caused by the development and the condition which advances the governmental interest has been demonstrated".2
Section 66001 of the Act sPecifies
(a) In any action establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project by a local agency, the local agency shall do all of the following:
(1) Identify the purpose of the fee.
(2) Identify the use to which the fee is to be put. If the use is financing public facilities, the facilities shall be identified. That identification may, but need not, be made by reference to a capital improvement plan as specified in Section 65403 or 66002, may be made in applicable general or specific plan requirements, or may be made in other public documents that identify the public facilities for which the fee is charged.
(3) Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. (4) Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
(b) In any action imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project by a local agency, the local agency shall determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.
Important for water and sewer impact fees, Section 66013 of the Act applies the principles of Section 66001 to water and sewer connection fees. Section 66013(a) states, in part, "when a local agency imposes fees for water connections or sewer connections, or imposes capacity charges, those fees or charges shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed."The Nexus Study sections in the Water, Separated Sewer, and 2 n Short Overview of Development Impact Fees, League of California Cities, 2003.
BEconomic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) Page 144
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February L3,2023
Combined Sewer chapters will address the nexus requirements in Section 66013 terms.
In addition, in 2027, AB 602 amended the requirements for drainage services by creating a "standards and practices" section to the Act, codified as Government Code Section 66016.5. This provision is both declaratory of previously existing law and added certain new requirements. A new provision that pertains to this report requires that a nexus study "shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development" t66016.5(a)(5)(A)1, and "large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study" [66016.5(a)(6)]' Water and sewer systems are specifically exempt from the requirements of Section 66016.5. Storm drainage, however, is subject to the provisions but may exercise an exemption to the square footage allocation method if the nexus study makes findings that include all of these:
r An explanation as to why square footage is not an appropriate metric to calculate fees imposed on a housing development project' r 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.
o That other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments, or otherwise ensure that smaller developments are not charged disproportionate fees.
The nexus findings of the Storm Drainage chapter will include these exemption requirements for the Storm Drainage System and the drainage portion of the Combined Sewer System. In both cases, the standard and customary method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee and the burden to development is focused on impermeable surfaces. This allocation methodology supports equity among development of any size, density and land use' Summary of Findings
presented below are high-level comparative summaries of all proposed fees and the fees of surrounding jurisdictions for single-family, retail, and office land uses on a per unit and per acre basis. For the per unit comparison, single-family dwellings are presented on Table 1-5a, Retail land uses on Table 1-5b, and Office land uses on Table 1-5c.

There are many features to these comparisons that will be touched on in the chapters that follow. In the above tables, two points of Sacramento's fee structure stand out in contrast to comparable jurisdictions. Sacramento has extraordinarily high sewer fees in its Combined Sewer System Utility. This is due to the high cost of managing a sewer system that mixes wastewater and stormwater runoff. The other "outlier," in contrast, is the drainage fee set. Drainage feeS are very low fOr reasons to be discussed in the Storm Drainage System Utility chapter. This is in light of the fact that the hydrology of Sacramento is very challenging, complex, and expensive to drain because of the flat, low-lying, delta topography.
Also significant is the comparison set used. The Water System Utility uses a broader set that is likely a fairer comparison for this system. This set is discussed in that chapter.

2. The Water System Utility
Introduction and DescriPtion
The City's Water System is maintained and operated by DOU and implements comprehensive drinking water programs that focus on the supply, production, storage, and distribution of high-quality drinking water; on system maintenance and improvements; and on water conservation. The Water System produces more than 25 billion gallons of drinking water annually acquired through the 25,000-square-mile watersheds of the American and Sacramento Rivers' DOU maintains 2 water treatment plants, 28 active ground water wells, storage facilities, and more than 1,500 miles of water mains. DOU operates under legal and policy mandates to ensure that all delivered water meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards. Also critical in these times of drought is demand management by way of efforts to increase water efficiency throughout the City with education, incentives, resources, and information for home and business owners. Further, detailed information on the Water System is available online at https : //www.cityofsacramento.oro/Uti lities/Water' The Water System currently serves a resident population of 525,000 in approximately 203,000 housing units. The total population served is estimated to be up to 25 percent higher on weekdays because of commercial and government employment of surrounding-area residents. Total employment is approximately 307,000 in 83 million square feet of space. All water services to this residential and nonresidential population are provided through 742,000 metered accounts.
The Water System service area is generally contiguous with the incorporated boundaries of the City. The map of the service area is shown in Figure 2-1' Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) L4Page 150

Housing units are projected to increase by 30.2 percent by 2040. This new growth in housing will constitute 23.2 percent of total housing units by 2040.
Residential unit growth is the best, general driver of demand for water capacity.
In a water utility, the capacity requirements are measured in Equivalent Meters (EMs), or similar. EMs are a measure of delivery volume and are indexed to the volume required of a typical single-family detached home. Meter size varies with the required delivery volume for a land use type. The current and future EM requirements are shown on Table 2-2.

Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February t3,2023
This demand profile of existing and future housing units drives the allocation of current and future shares of existing and future capacity requirements and their costs. The shares for existing system assets are determined under the Buy-In approach. Future shares are determined through the Incremental approach. These approaches are discussed in detail in the Executive Summary. The Water System is using both apProaches.
Buy-In MethodologY and Fee Per
Equivalent Meter
The Buy-In approach is used to determine existing asset shares. Existing assets that will benefit future customers (existing treatment plants, wells, and transmission lines) have been paid for by current rate payers. Future customers will "buy in" lo 23.2 percent of these assets by way of a buy-in development impact fee. The assets are depreciated and developer contributions are removed so only the remaining useful life of assets directly paid by rates is allocated.
An option exists in the determination of buy-in development impact fees to include current assets that are systemwide benefits and qualify as assets as defined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. These are fairly wide- ranging standards and include all buildings, equipment and improvements, land including easements, equipment, core software, rolling stock and related equipment, and even intangible assets such as franchise licenses. This allowable scope extends to all core functions (i.e., treatment plants, wells, and transmission lines) and to peripheral support functions including corporation yards and administration buildings. Although a broader suite of existing improvements would qualify, the approach used in this study is narrower. The assets included are those unambiguously used for water production, storage, and transmission. Not included are any assets that are not directly used for water system purposes, such as administration buildings or corporation yards and related equipment, all of which are indirectly used. Also not included are local distribution lines or service meters because these items benefit individual developments or parcels, instead of the system as a whole.
To value the included water assets, DOU engaged the engineering firms of West yost and Carollo to provide estimates of value for the treatment plants, storage facilities, and wells under the general guidance established by the Association for Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE). City staff developed estimates of value for the transmission mains using essentially the same methodology. The detail of all assets and methodologies is provided in Appendix B-1' Other assets included are related to rolling stock and software, both of which have been valued from the City's accounting records'

[1] The full detail of the estimates and methodologies are provided in Appendix B-1. [2] The total Current System Value excludes Wells 165, 166 and 167 on the West Yost valuation analysis because these wells are not in service, Each component of an asset has been depreciated in accordance with the standard useful life of that component. Treatment plants, for example, have many components with different useful lives. The current value of each component is determined in one of two ways, depending on the circumstances:
a
a
If the original cost and installation date are available, the original cost is depreciated on a straight-line basis for years in service. The remaining value is then adjusted to 2022 dollars using the standard cost adjustment methodology, which is defined in the Executive Summary chapter.
If the original cost is not available but the installation date is known, the replacement cost is estimated in 2022 dollars using the AACE protocols. This value is then depreciated for years in service.
In either case of valuing, each of the components are accumulated into the summaries shown in Table 2-3. Detailed depreciation of the assets and the component depreciation standards can be found in Appendix B-1.
Also, outstanding principal debt has been included as a deduction to asset value because the underlying assets are in service but have not been paid for by current rate payers. All existing and future customers will pay for these debt-financed assets through future rates. Deductions are also made for developer contributions Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 18Page 154

because these assets were not directly funded by rate payers through rates.
The asset values for developer contributions have been depreciated for time in service.

The fee will be used for a proportional share of capital improvements benefitting new growth. The projects and the process by which they are established is described in the next section under Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs)' The Buy-In fee is combined with the Incremental Fee, discussed below, for the total base Water System Development Impact Fee per EM. The calculation combining the two fees is shown on Table 2-8 later in this chapter. The allocation of the combined fee per EM by meter size is presented in Table 2-9, also later in this chapter.
Incremental Methodology and Fee per
Equivalent Meter
Future asset requirements are allocated through engineering determinations of proportional demands. If an asset has an equal demand from, or benefit to, all users, the allocation percentage for in-common facilities (23.2) is used. If the asset benefits growth more than existing customers, or vice versa, the allocation is adjusted accordingly. The capital improvement plan presented below details future projects and the specific allocation used.
Capital Improvement Program
DOU maintains Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plans for the Water System.
The CIP includes projects that are expected to be complete from within the next year to projects expected to be programmed for implementation as far into the future as 30 years. Because the planning horizon for the purpose of this study is Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 19Page 155
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February L3,2023
2040, or 18 years, anticipated annual expenditures after this date are not included.
The CIP draws on documents and processes as follows:
r Updated facility plans and the related short-term projects adopted through the annual budget process.
r The Water Supply Master Plan of 2013 and an update currently underway.
Both plans are consistent with the demand projections in the 2035 General Plan Update and 2O4O General Plan, respectively'
r CIps and projects to implement the Master Plans and adapt the water system to future demand requirements and best practices'
r Other facility cost estimates and updated assessments of facility needs and costs as of September 2022. Related projects are incorporated into the formal CIP as appropriate.
In all aspects of the CIP planning and implementation process, the City is required by state law to provide safe, clean, affordable, and accessible water. Long-range water demand projections have identified a potential shortage of water treatment capacity within approximately the next 18 years. To prepare for and meet projected demand, the City needs to develop additional capacity, both in terms of quantity and quality.
To achieve the objectives of state law efficiently and effectively, a key methodology used by DOU is the Water+ Programmatic Approach' The elements of this program guide the identification of system needs and subsequent actions and Projects:
r Align the City's water treatment capacity with the City's continued growth and economic develoPment.
r Protect the City's drinking water against anticipated climate change impacts and other risks.
o Maintain water supply resiliency through conjunctive use of surface and groundwater supplies.
r Expand the community's confidence in its affordable, safe, clean, and reliable drinking water.
. Engage the community in support of long-range planning for drinking water infrastructure.
o Equitably balance funding needs through development impact fees, customer water rates, grants, and loans.

The CIP consists of 21 project types, or cost centers, for multiple individual projects of the same type, and totals $1,922,485,841. All proposed projects, costs, allocations, and descriptions are included in AppendixB'2. Major projects are discussed below.
Resiliency Projects, as a category 6f projects, are increasingly important because of changing regulations, continuing climate change, wildfires in the watershed, river pollution and algal toxins, among other risks impacting the City's ability to reliably deliver high-quality drinking water. Development and implementation of Resiliency Projects will help protect the City's water supply from these risks.
For the purposes of this study, Resiliency Projects address demand common to all customers; thus, costs will be shared proportionately:
a Ozone treatment capability in both water treatment plants to implement available technologies to enhance the capacity to mitigate risks from chemical contaminants, viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms and to improve taste and smell. Ozone treatment will also provide for compliance with key anticipated future regulations.
Fairbairn rehabilitation to provide 100 million gallons per day (mgd) firm and 120-mgd hydrau lic capacity.
Replacement of the chlorine gas system with a safer means of chlorine disinfection.
Replacement of quicklime slaking to a delivered hydrated lime slurry to reduce on-site waste production.
Elimination of hazardous chlorine gas and lime grit at both water treatment facilities.
a
a
a
All of the Resiliency Projects have a cost of $960,684,609. The proportional share for new growth is 23.2 percent, or $222,878,829
The RiverArc Project is also a Resiliency Project, in a sense, that will provide significantly improved backup and flexibility to water sources available for existing customers, new growth, and to surrounding communities. The project will divert water through an existing water intake structure from the Sacramento River to offset water currently diverted from the American River. Reduction of draws from the American River has been identified as a potential mitigation measure for climate change impacts to water supply in the American River watershed as described in the American River Basin Plan. In 2015 and 2O2I, Folsom Reservoir levels were very close to not being able to access municipal water supply intakes.
The flow of the Sacramento River, which is many times the size of the American River, has the capacity to reduce reliance on the American River. The proposed action will provide 3O mgd of additional water supply capacity to the City.
Demand for water from new growth is estimated to require 22 mgd' Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 21Page 157
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February 13,2023
In addition, RiverArc will help facilitate the recharge of the groundwater storage basin via "direct" or "in-lieu" recharge in wet yearS for use in years when surface water supplies are depleted due to drought-like conditions and the water supply demands of the City, the region, and potentially other areas in northern California are strained. On the whole, RiverArc will better secure the ability to accommodate growth in the City and will benefit regional water suppliers, increase the sustainability of regional groundwater supplies, and provide additional environmental protection of the American River Watershed. The flexibility provided by RiverArc could allow for water to be delivered through raw water pipelines to a new regional water treatment plant, where it will be distributed through new and existing pipelines to the regional partners' The estimated cost of RiverArc is $220,000,000 for an additional 30 million gallons of capacity. All other costs related to regional River Arc partners are excluded from this report because these other costs are not attributable to new growth in the City. The portion attributable to City new growth is 22 million gallons, or 73.33 percent of the 30-million-gallon capacity. The remaining capacity, 8 million gallons, addresses demand common to all customers because of the resiliency benefits. The 8-million-gallon portion will be shared proportionately between existing development and new growth. The calculations of attributable benefits and costs are shown in Table 2-5' Table 2-5.

An alternative to the RiverArc project, termed the Sacramento River Water Treatment Plant (SRWTP), is under consideration as a substitute for allocation to new growth but is not incorporated in any of the calculations at this time' The capital project summary for the SRWTP alternative is provided in AppendixB-2' Although it involves a more complex governance option, RiverArc is the preferred alternative for allocation as it provides a potentially greater global benefit and the potential for reduced initial investment than SRWTP expansion. Essentially, the SRWTP focuses on capacity improvements. These are the major components:
r The development of an additional 75 million gallons per day (mgd) of increased capacity at the SRWTP. The 75 mgd project could be completed as one project or broken into two phases.
r capacity improvements across the water main transmission system. o The addition of a new or replacement intake structure within the Sacramento River with a facility to support the additional supply needs.
The total cost is estimated at $493.8 million, with $195.9 million allocable to new growth, compared with the $174.9 million allocable from the RiverArc project' Should the SRWTP become the priority for allocation, the Nexus Study can be amended.
A final category of capital planning and the Water+ Programmatic Approach is improvements to the distribution system at an estimated cost of $740,687,97O' These projects are also detailed in Appendix B-2. None of these projects are being allocated to the incremental portion of the Water System development impact fee. There are capacity-related projects in the distribution system improvements that could be funded with a proportional share from the Buy-In development impact fee or other sources'

[1] City of Sacramento's water fee is assessed based on meter size. The Retail and Office fee values listed in this table are for comparative purposes only to allow comparison across all jurisdictions by area for a hypothetical development of a 1-acre parcel with a structure covering 25 percent of the parcel (i,e., a F.A.R of .25) for Retail, and 35 percent for Office. This construct is for comparative purposes only and is used to compare fees of all types across juridictions. This methodology is used in the Executive Summary tables. [2] Based on 7 units per acre.
t3l Retail and Office uses have similar percent differences because all entities use 2,2-inch meters for these uses.
The proposed fee in Sacramento is on par with the average for single-family land uses and significantly less for nonresidential land uses.

Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February 13,2023
Nexus Findings
For the Water System Utility, this section addresses the following requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code section 66000 et seq').
Per California Government Code Section 66007
1. Identify the purpose of the fee.
2. Identify how the fee is to be used.
3. Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
4. Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the need for the facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
5. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the facility or portion of the facility attributable to the development on which the fee is impose.
The Water System Development Impact Fee applies to all development in the service area in proportion to the measured expectation of water flow by land-use type.
1. Puroose of the Fee
The purpose of the Water System Development Impact Fee is to fund capacity improvements to accommodate projected new residential and non-residential development as detailed in Chapter 2.
2. Use of Fee
The Water System Development Impact Fee will be used to fund water facilities needed to secure, treat, store and transmit water for demand generated by development in the service area.
3. Reasonable Relationship between Use of Fee and Tvpe of Develooment on Which the Fee is Imoosed
The Water System Development Impact Fee varies by development type based on measured expectation of water demand by development type as measured by delivery volume requirements. This proportional fee will be used to fund capital projects identified in Chapter 2 and Appendix B. All improvements are designed to meet Federal, State and City requirements for standards of service in the most cost-effective manner to accommodate projected new residential and nonresidential development in the service area.
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 28Page 164
07/11/2023 Item No.14.
Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February L3,2023
A reasonable relationship therefore exists between the use of the Water System Development Impact Fee and the type of development on which the fee is imposed.
4. Reasonable Relationship between Need for Facility and Tvpe of Proiect on Which the Fee is Imposed
New residential and nonresidential projects in the service area are required to connect to the City's water system, New residents, employees, and patrons of the new developments will generate demand for increased water supply, treatment, storage and delivery. The water facilities needed to accommodate this demand were determined through the standards and criteria of the City's capital planning process, the Water+ Programmatic Approach as described in Chapter 2.
A reasonable relationship therefore exists between the need for water facilities and new residential and nonresidential development projects on which the Water System Development Impact Fee is imposed because the portion of water facilities funded by the Water System Development Impact Fee is based on the amount of water demand generated by projected residential and non-residential development.
5. Reasonable Relationship between Amount of Fee and Cost of Facilities or Portion of Facilities Attributed to Develooment on Which Fee is Imposed The total cost of water facilities attributable to development and funded by the Water System Development Impact Fee is allocated by development type based on measured expectation of water demand by development type as measured by delivery volume requirements. Requirements are indexed in Equivalent Meters where an Equivalent Meter of one is the volume requirement of a typical single- family home. Higher, typical volume requirements equate to higher expected Equivalent Meter requirements. The Water System Development Impact Fee is based on a per Equivalent Meter basis, so is therefore both proportional to the expected demand and proportional with the cost of required facilities' A reasonable relationship therefore exists between the amount of the Water System Development Impact Fee and the cost of the water facilities attributed to the residential and nonresidential development on which the fee is imposed because the costs are allocated based on the demand generated by new development for water facilities as measured by the demand generated by each development type.

Sacramento DOU Development Impact Fee Program and Nexus Study February L3, 2023
Per California Government Code Section 66073
1. Subsection (a): Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency imposes fees for water connections or sewer connections, or imposes capacity charges, those fees or charges shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee or charge imposed in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.
Finding on the Base Fee: The capital cost portion of Water System Development Impact Fee (Base Fee) does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed. Costs are estimated for new and improved facilities necessary to accommodate the demand created by the water requirements from projected new residential and non-residential development. Future, periodic updates to the Water System Development Impact Fee will re-evaluate the costs expended and future needs and costs to ensure that the Base Fee has not and does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing appropriate capital improvement services'
Findino on the Administrative Component: The administrative cost portion of Water System Development Impact Fee (Administration Fee) does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed. The Administration Fee funds City costs associated with fee program administration and implementation including collection and accounting, annual reporting, capital planning, periodic updates to the Water System Development Impact Fee, and other related costs.
2. Subsection (c): A tocal agency receiving payment of a charge as specified in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) shall deposit it in a separate capital facilities fund with other charges received, and account for the charges in a manner to avoid any commingling with other moneys of the local agency, except for investments, and shalt expend those charges solely for the purposes for which the charges were collected. Any interest income earned from the investment of moneys in the capital facilities fund shall be deposited in that fund.
Findinol The City of Sacramento and the Department of Utilities has the systems in place to ensure compliance with Subsection c in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Government Accounting Standards Board best practices and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards.

(1) A description of the charges deposited in the fund. (2) The beginning and ending balance of the fund and the interest earned from investment of moneys in the fund.
(3) The amount of charges collected in that fiscal year. (4) An identification of all of the following:
(A) Each public improvement on which charges were expended and the amount of the expenditure for each improvement, including the percentage of the total cost of the public improvement that was funded with those charges if more than one source of funding was used.
(B) Each public improvement on which charges were expended that was completed during that fiscal Year.
(C) Each public improvement that is anticipated to be undertaken in the following fiscal year.
(5) A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the capital facitities fund. The information provided, in the case of an interfund transfer, shall identify the public improvements on which the transferred moneys are, or witl be, expended. The information, in the case of an interfund loan, shall include the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the fund will receive on the loan' Finding: The requirements of Subsection d are acknowledged and consistent with existing systems and practices.

3. The Separated Sewer System Utility
Introduction and DescriPtion
The Separated Sewer System (Separated System) provides wastewater services to approximately 50,600 commercial and residential properties located in the City The Separated System includes approximately 813 miles of pipe and 32 wastewater pump stations in 40 sewer basins. This system is administered by DOU to provide safe and reliable collection and conveyance of wastewater and ensures the wastewater systems comply with all state and federal regulations.
The residential and commercial customers that receive service from the Separated System constitute approximately 33 percent of the total residential and commercial properties in the City. The balance is served by the City's Combined Sewer System or the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD), a separate entity not under control of the City. All of the effluent from the City systems and SASD are delivered to a regional treatment facility owned and operated by the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District.
On the map below (Figure 3-1) the boundaries of the Separated System are the basins in color that are outside of the red line encircling the Combined Sewer System (labeled "Combined").

Growth and Demand
For this study, the primary concern for the Separated System is the ability to accommodate growth through capacity improvements required for that growth.
The existing system, in contrast, will be maintained and improved by existing rate payers. For new growth, an incremental approach to improvements is appropriate. Capital requirements for new growth are identified through a consistent methodology to evaluate the hydraulic capacity of infrastructure in each basin of the Separated System, termed the Master Planning Dynamic Model (Dynamic Model). This process identifies improvements that will be needed to increase system capacity to accommodate projected sewer flows from new development, The infrastructure is of general benefit, or for use in common, and so excludes local collection lines. Also excluded are developments that are self-funding improvements through Mello-Roos districts or other funding agreements. The infrastructure that remains for this study is in basins without such agreements and includes pipes that serve relatively large tributary areas, manholes along backbone pipes, and pump stations'
The main driver to determine capital requirements is the projected new growth as of 2O4O by each basin in the Separated System. The projections by land use are shown on Table 3-1.

There are 29 basins in the Separated System that are projected to have some level of growth and 10 basins that have no projected growth. The calculated fees will apply to all of these basins because actual growth will always vary from projected growth. Growth may occur in any of the basins and may require accommodation.
The common indicator of demand for wastewater services is Equivalent Standard Dwelling (ESD) or equivalent, where an ESD of 1 is the expectation of average sanitary flow from a single-family detached home using average daily winter water-use data. This data is used to factor the ESDs for any land use' The projection of growth for both residential units and nonresidential square feet by land use then determines the ESD demands by basin' In ESD terms, both the existing and new growth demands by basin are shown on Table 3-2.

Incremental Methodology and Fee per
Equivalent Standard Dwelling
As noted above, DOU employs a consistent methodology to evaluate the hydraulic capacity of infrastructure. Both existing and future demand in each basin are evaluated to identify improvements that will be needed to increase system capacity to accommodate both existing and projected sewer flows. Improvements required for either the existing system or new growth can be isolated and identified by basin.
The methodology is maintained through the modelling of existing land uses, projected land uses, peak flows, existing and needed infrastructure, and costs.
Recently, the model was refined with the introduction of variations in flows by time of day, along with other variations (e.9., flow regulators, parallel pipes, cycling of pumps, tailwater changes, and other items). The use of this "dynamic" hydraulic modeling allows for an improved alternative analysis to determine the recommended capacity improvements where benefits and costs for each alternative can be evaluated and compared efficiently. The current results of the modelling in terms of improvement costs are depicted on Table 3-3.

Notes:
[1] Planning costs are spread to all customers. The "non-fee funding requirement" amount is included on Table 3-7.
Planning costs involve ongoing hydraulic capacity analysis of peak flows associated with existing and projected land uses utilizing dynamic modeling approach. Hydraulic model results are utilized to assess alternative capital improvement projects to best address capacity issues for both existing and growth scenarios. Routine updates to flow input data and analysis are also conducted to ensure more accurate costing of capacity improvements to support growth. Planning costs of $6,850,000 are shared by existing and new development at a cost of $91 per ESD. The base and planning fee per ESD for new growth is $3,461.
The schedule of the fee by land use is shown on Table 3-6. A fufther detailed schedule is included as Appendix C-3.
