(A) A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund. (B) The amount of the fee.
(C) The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund. (D) The amount of the fees collected and the interest earned. (E) An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees. (F) (i) An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement, as identified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 66001, and the public improvement remains incomplete.
(ii) An identification of each public improvement identified in a previous report pursuant to clause (i) and whether construction began on the approximate date noted in the previous report.
14 Section 5, Item D.
(iii) For a project identified pursuant to clause (ii) for which construction did not commence by the approximate date provided in the previous report, the reason for the delay and a revised approximate date that the local agency will commence construction. (G) A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan. (H) The amount of refunds made pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 66001, the number of persons or entities identified to receive those refunds, and any allocations pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 66001.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2025
PRESENTER: John Jansons, City Manager & Steve Wilkins, Police Chief SUBJECT: Implementation of AB 413 through Curb Markings and Installation of No Parking Signage to Enhance Pedestrian Safety and the Quiet Enjoyment of Residences (JAJ & SW) RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution approving and authorizing curb markings and no parking zones as follows:

1. At priority crosswalks and corners adjacent to school sites and other locations as deemed necessary for pedestrian safety and in conformance with AB 413; and

2. Posting of “No Parking and No Truck Parking” signage along North and South Siskiyou Ave and West Kearney Blvd. in residential zones areas to enhance public safety and convenience.

BACKGROUND:

Several locations have been reported and identified as requiring curb markings and “No Parking” signage to improve vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian safety.

Further, Assembly Bill 413, effective January 1, 2025, prohibits drivers from parking “within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any unmarked or marked crosswalk.” The bill also bans parking 15 feet from a crosswalk with a curb extension as generally depicted in Exhibit ‘B’ to the proposed resolution.

Pursuant to Kerman Municipal Code Chapter 10.12, “at such times as the Chief of Police finds that the public safety and convenience require the establishment of no parking or limited parking zones for motor vehicles on the public streets in the city, he shall report this fact to the City Council at a meeting of that body.” Such report is made via this Staff Report and at the Council meeting.

DISCUSSION:

Since passage of Assembly Bill 413, City Departments, including Police, have publicized and worked to educate the public about the new safety law, yet compliance has been inconsistent and unsatisfactory.

In order to better inform drivers and to enhance pedestrian safety, curb markings are now recommended in specific locations and areas focused on school sites and high uses areas. 22 Section 5, Item E.

Additionally, the City prohibits the parking of heavy duty, non-emergency vehicles and semitruck tractor trailers in residential areas. With new residential growth occurring, new areas of the City require installation of “No Truck Parking”, signage to enforce violations in those newer areas primarily along North and South Siskiyou Avenues and eventually West Kearney Blvd.

For future implementation beyond the immediate urgent need, the City Engineer will design a “Standard Detail” to be incorporated into the City’s Design Standards for public and private improvements to detail specifications for installation of curb markings to “daylight” crosswalks as dictated by AB 413.

Staff seeks Council adoption of a resolution (Attachment ‘A’) to authorize the installation of curb markings and signage to address unsafe and illegal parking in the areas generally shown in Exhibit ‘A’ (Vicinity Map and Specific Location Inventory) to the resolution and in a form similar to that shown in Exhibit ‘B’ (example of “Daylighting” schematic / marking detail), to the resolution.

COORDINATION AND REVIEW:

This recommendation is made by the Chief of Police, Public Works Director, and City Engineer.

FISCAL IMPACT:

It is estimated that the expense for time and materials to install immediate parking safety controls is less than $5,000 from the Streets Maintenance Fund for this initial phase of improvements.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2025
PRESENTER: Jesus A. Gonzalez, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution Initiating Proceedings to Review Improvements and Establish Assessments, Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, for the Annexation of Tract 6430 into Landscape and Lighting District No. 1, to Review the Improvements and Establish Assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and to Set a Public Hearing (JG) RECOMMENDATION:

Council by motion adopt the resolution to initiate proceedings pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 for the Annexation of Tract 6430 into Landscape and Lighting District No. 1, to review the improvements and establish assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (FY25- 26), and to set a public hearing for a future date.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Landscape and Lighting District (LLD) No. 1 maintains public landscaping in median islands and landscape strips along major streets. The revenue from the LLD also pays for street lighting costs for areas within it. All new developments are annexed into the LLD and charged an annual assessment that is collected with property taxes.

J.H. Boyd Enterprises, Inc. (“Applicant”) is seeking to develop its Whispering Falls Project, a 119- lot subdivision inclusive of Outlots A-D, located at the southeast corner of the California and Modoc Avenues alignment intersection. The Applicant is undergoing the Tract 6430 final map review process, for approval by the City Council, which will be considered as a separate Agenda item at a future meeting. A condition of approval for Tract 6430 requires that Applicant request annexation to the City ‘s LLD. Consistent with that requirement, the Applicant has submitted a petition and waiver to the City, requesting annexation into Area 16 of LLD No. 1 and agreeing to the initial assessment to be established for FY25-26. Thereafter, the property would be subject to the annual levy amounts approved by Council for LLD No. 1 for each fiscal year.

The Applicant has also (i) waived certain resolutions, report, notices of hearing, and right of majority protest, and consented to a public hearing and adoption of a Resolution by the City Council ordering annexation and levy of the property; and (ii) expressly waived any requirement to have a ballot and majority protest proceeding per Government Code Section 53753 or as may be permitted by the Act. As a result of this waiver, the annexation process can be expedited as no report by the City Engineer is required to be prepared and filed with the City Clerk, nor is a ballot and majority protest required. 31 Section 5, Item F.

This is the first of two actions by Council. Approving the resolution does not annex the property or implement the assessment; it only starts the process and allows for further discussion. The Council will make a final decision on this matter at the public hearing set by the Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Each lot that is annexed will pay the assessment rate to be established. Thereafter, the City Council will approve assessment amounts for Area 16 of the LLD No. 1, which may be adjusted to reflect increases based on the consumer price index.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2025
PRESENTER: Jesus A. Gonzalez, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention to Levy and Collect the Annual Assessments for Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 (JG)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution of intention to levy and collect the annual assessments for Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 and set the date for the required public hearing for July 23, 2025.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Landscape and Lighting District (LLD) No. 1 maintains public landscaping in median islands and landscape strips along major streets. The revenue from the district also pays for street lighting costs for areas within the LLD. All new developments are annexed into the LLD and charged an annual assessment that is collected with property taxes. There are currently 14 subareas within the LLD. Council did not approve any annexations to the Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 this past year.

This is the second of three actions by Council required by State law for the levy of the annual assessments. Council previously initiated proceedings for the annual levy of assessments at the May 28, 2025 Council Meeting. The City Engineer has prepared a preliminary report labeled Engineer’s Report of the City of Kerman Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 (LLD), dated July 2025, and filed the report with the City Clerk. The report includes descriptions of the improvements maintained, boundaries of the district and sub-areas, and proposed assessments per parcel. The final report will be submitted for approval at the time of the public hearing. The next, and final, action required by Council will be to conduct the required public hearing, receive any testimony, and confirm the annual assessments. The assessment roll is then submitted to the County Assessor for inclusion on the property owner’s tax bill.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The annual assessments from Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 are used for maintenance of public landscaping and street lighting. The assessments for Sub-areas 1 through 5 were established prior to the passage of Proposition 218 and therefore cannot be raised without a vote of the property owners. The assessments for Sub-areas 6 through 14 are adjusted annually by the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). For 2025 the CPI increase is 2.9%. The estimated total assessments for FY 25-26 are $437,525.12. The exact amount of total assessments will be known once the City receives the property roll from the Fresno County Assessor’s Office.

RE: 2007-08 Development Impact Fee (DIF) Calculation and Master Facilities Plan (MFP) Honorable Chairperson, District Board and Chief Bruegman:

The District experiences private development of vacant parcels and continuously absorbs the demands for service created by that development and will continue to do so for some time.

Revenue and Cost Specialists, L.L.C., was contracted to undertake a comprehensive identification of the capital projects and capital acquisitions necessary to preserve the existing Levels of Service (LOS) currently offered to and enjoyed by (after having have been paid for by) the existing community. The construction of these additional projects is necessary to eliminate the eventual diminution of the existing Levels of Service due to the addition of new residential and business development in the North Central Fire Protection District. The Report also calculates the development impact fees (DIFs) necessary to fund those required projects.

The District staff and Board, responsible for providing services to a continually expanding residential and business community, must recognize that the magnitude of the impact fees is ~ direct function of the net $6,950,549 District-wide cost of the capital projects identified in the Master Facilities Plan as capacity increasing. It is incumbent upon this Report to convince the District Board (and ultimately the Kerman City Council and Fresno County Board of Supervisors) of the extraordinary need for and justification of the proposed development impact fees.

Adoption of the maximum-supported development impact fees contained herein and imposition upon the remaining development opportunities in the City of Kerman community, could generate approximately $4,329,455 in revenues for use on the proposed fire suppression system capital expansion projects deemed as development generated ( defined as one additional two-bay station and response fleet). While it is difficult to estimate the amount that would be collected from the unincorporated areas, the fee revenue would be proportional to the additional calls-for-service generated by new development in the unincorporated area and would be, over time, adequate to raise the $2.6 necessary for the unincorporated portion of the proposed station (defined as one additional bay and response fleet). The identification of the net $6,950,549 in required capital 60 Section 7, Item A.

Page 2 ends

infrastructure needs generated by District-wide new development ($7,060,549 total capital needs less the $110,000 in the City's existing Fire Suppression System DIP fund balance) is not taken lightly, but must be examined in relation to the cost of the District's existing inventory of fire suppression facilities, vehicles, and equipment that a new development project will share in and benefit from, upon approval, construction and finally, occupancy .

To offer such a perspective, a major element in this Report is a proportional analysis, or comparison of what is being asked of future residents, in the form of dedicated public improvements or an in-lieu (impact fee) payment, with the cost of the District's existing infrastructure (land, facilities, and equipment), contributed by the existing population and business community. The dedications, taxes and assessments contributed to date by the existing community over numerous decades of development have generated ( or committed to) just over $19. 5 million (at current replacement costs) in the form of capital facilities, vehicles, and equipment improvements from within the District service boundary.

It is not intended for the recommended development impact fees to address all of the District's capital needs, especially replacement of aging facilities, vehicles and equipment. As per California Government Code 66000 et. seq. and common fairness, development impact fees cannot address existing capital deficiencies. The proposed fees will recognize and meet the needs of the District's growing population and business community. However, with the adoption of impact fees, other District discretionary revenue resources that may have been used to meet growth-generated needs for expanded services and facilities will now be available for those accumulating replacement and rehabilitation projects.

The information required to develop the District's capital costs and existing equity data was generated by the North Central Fire Protection District staff, without whose help and cooperation, this Report would have been impossible to complete. I would like to highlight the significant efforts invested by Joe Barcelos, NCFPD Finance Director, that were highly instrumental in generating the information and data critically necessary for calculation of legally- supportable development impact fees. Without all of their hard work and willingness to provide the best data available, this Report could not have been completed to the degree of accuracy and completeness that it has. We would also like to thank the City of Kerman and City Manager Ron Manfredi and his staff for their assistance in compiling the City's land-use database.

The Development Impact Fee Calculation Report is now submitted for your review and consideration. RCS staff is prepared to assist in increasing the Board's and community's understanding of this very significant part of the District's revenue structure.

Sincerely,

Chapter One
Background and Introduction
The North Central Fire Protection District has retained Revenue & Cost Specialists 1 (henceforth referred to as RCS) to calculate the District's Development Impact Fees (henceforth referred to as DIFs). The DIF study area is split between two areas: the first is the area of the District that matches the City of Kerman's boundaries (or urban service area) and the second is the unincorporated area of Fresno County within the District's boundaries. The District Board and staff has determined that development impact fees are likely an important part of capital financing and should be calculated and that all efforts be undertaken to support the amount of the impact fees to allow for proper consideration of their adoption. If adopted, a periodic review and adjustment of the District's DIFs would be appropriate and warranted to insure that the District collects sufficient monies over time to construct or acquire the additional infrastructure needed to serve all of the new residential dwellings and business development at the level of service similar to the way existing development is served now. The DIFs contained in this Report will serve the District well for a number of years with periodic Engineering News Record Building Cost Index increases.

This DIF Calculation Report includes a complete list of all projects to be financed by development impact fees 2 and current service demands by land use. The Development Impact Fee Calculation Report and the Master Facilities Plan (included as Appendix A) offers information to support future Board policy decisions and increases the understanding by the development community One important component of this Report is that it includes a proportional analysis of the infrastructure needs required to support continued development of the District as compared to the existing infrastructure. The addition of the proportional analysis will assist the District Board in adopting a fee structure that recognizes inter-generational equity and increase the lay-person's understanding of what is fair. The proposed DIFs and related information can be found in Chapter 3 and are supported by Appendices A and B of this Report.

Based upon District staff input, RCS prepared the nexus calculation of the DIFs. In order to fully finance the required fire suppression capital improvements, the resulting impact fees will need to be adopted by each of the two agencies responsible for land-use agency decisions within the District's boundaries, that would be the Kerman City Council for areas within the City's corporate boundaries and the Fresno County Board of Supervisors for areas within the unincorporated areas.

Inclusion of the "Propol1ional Analysis." As stated earlier, this Report includes a proportional analysis. This analysis is intended to recognize and reconcile the difference between the Board's desired level of service required of new development, per statements in the various General Plan elements, with that of the de-facto or actual level of service provided to the existing community.

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 1 63 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter One Background and Introduction
This addition will assist the Board in making the difficult policy decisions regarding the required additions of new development.

Development Impact Fee Structure. A municipal General Plan usually provides for a range of potential densities for residential development, the DIFs for residential uses need to be calculated on a per (type of) dwelling unit basis to reflect the specific impacts from a proposed development more accurately. For example, a property zoned as residential detached dwelling development may contain from two to four units per acre. If fees are calculated on an acreage basis, the developer proposing two units per acre will pay the same amount as a developer constructing four units per acre. Similarly, fees for commercial and industrial properties are calculated on a square footage basis to reflect the impacts of different building intensities for this type of development.

A second reason for the proposed DIF fee structure recommended in this Report involves the issue of building expansion or intensification of commercial and industrial areas. For example, if a property owner of commercial or industrial property proposes an expansion to his building, the question exists about how to charge this proposed expansion for its impact on the agency's streets, storm drainage system, and other infrastructures. A fee calculated on the building structure square footage basis will simplify this calculation.

However, all detached residential dwellings will be treated the same as there is no set of records kept to indicate that a larger detached dwelling, say 4,000 square foot or larger, is more or less likely to generate a call-for-service than a smaller, say 2,000 square foot, detached dwelling.

CALCULATION OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
In California, State legislation sets certain legal and procedural parameters for the charging of DIFs. This legislation was passed as AB1600 by the California Legislature and is now codified as California Government Code Sections 66000 through 66009. This State law went into effect on January 1, 1989.

AB 1600 requires documentation of projects to be financed by Development Impact Fees prior to their levy and collection, and that the monies collected actually be committed within five years to a project of "direct benefit" to the development which paid the fees. Many states have such controlling statutes.

Specifically, AB1600 requires the following:

1. Delineation of the PURPOSE of the fee .

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 2 64 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter One Background all(i Introduction

2. Determination of the USE of the fee .

3. Determination of the RELATIONSHIP between the use of the fee and the type of development paying the fee.

4. Determination of the relationship between the NEED for the facility and the type of development project. NOTE: Numbers 3 & 4 will be reversed throughout the chapters in this Report in a recognition that need should be identified before use.

5. Determination of the relationship between the AMOUNT of the fee and the COST of the portion of the facility attributed to the specific development project.

This Report, with some additions, utilizes the basic methodology consistent with the above requirements of AB 1600. Briefly, the following steps were undertaken in the calculation of impact fees for the District and are listed below:

1. Define the level of service needed within the General Plan area for each project or acquisition identified as necessary. In some areas, certain statistical measures are commonly used to measure or define an acceptable level of service for a category of infrastructure. Street intersections, for instance, are commonly rated based on a Level of Service scale of "A" to "F" developed by transportation engineers.

2. Review the Land Use map and determine the existing mix of land uses and amount of undeveloped and developed land. The magnitude of growth and its impacts can thus be determined by considering this land use data when planning needed infrastructure.

3. Identify all additi ns to the capital fac ilitie or equipment inventory necessary to maintain the identified levels of service in the area. Then, determine the cost of those additions.

4. Identify a level of responsibility, identifying, as termed in this Report, the relative need (or as referred to in the accompanying schedules as "PERCENT NEED") for the facility or equipment necessary to accommodate "growth" as defined, and as opposed to current needs.

5. Distribute the costs identified as a result of development growth on a basis of land use. Costs are distributed between each land use based on their relative (or proportional) use of the capital system. For this Report, the North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 3 65 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter One Background and Introduction
capital costs are distributed based upon the various land-use fire response demands from previous years records.

OTHER ASSUMPTIONS OF THE REPORT
In addition to the land use assumptions contained in the next Chapter of this Report, other important assumptions of this study include the following:

Land Costs. Land acquisition cost estimates were developed after discussions with District officials over recent acquisitions or current negotiations for all land purchase needs. Arguments for higher or lower costs can be made; however, $261,360/acre (or $6.00/square foot) for the acquisition of land consistent with the proper locating of fire stations to maximize access/egress to the community's circulation system, appears to be the most appropriate current figure for the purposes of this study.

Similarity of Demand and Generation of Calls~for-Service. Information regarding the demand for services by type of unit is readily available for the City of Kerman area. Existing station capacity, future development and call-for-service demand generated by the five basic land-uses has been calculated and a strong nexus is evident. The same information for the County area is harder to generate due to a less precise General Plan in that the future development plans of larger parcels in unincorporated areas is less known and within the control of fewer landowners.

Thus the information used determine the cost of serving a better known quantity, the City of Kerman, will be used to calculate a cost per residential unit and business square foot, to be applied to all development within the District. The information was used to calculate the capacity of a single two-bay station to serve, as an example, a number of detached dwellings, attached dwellings and business square feet, and those cost calculations will be applied to the development of any detached dwelling either with the City limits, or in the unincorporated areas.

A basic two-bay fire station has a finite capacity and, as an example, can serve 5,000 detached dwellings. The station serving 5,000 detached dwellings in an urban environment such as Kerman, would likely result in a lower ISO rating than the service level of the same two-bay station serving 5,000 homes in a very rural area, primarily due to the longer response times.

However, the capital cost to serve each single detached dwelling would be basically the same.

Chapter One Background and lntroduclion

PROPORTIONAL ANALYSIS
A proportional analysis is important, if for no other reason, than for community inter-generational equity, i.e., fairness in the infrastructure investment made by existing residents and businesses with those of new residents and businesses that wish to use the existing District infrastructure.

In short, previous generations of businesses and residents have contributed to the development of the District infrastructure and this fact should be recognized by future residents and businesses by contributing a like or fair amount towards completing the various infrastructure systems.

It is one thing to identify the many public improvement projects needed through build-out. It is an entirely different thing to assume that all of the identified improvements are required to meet the demands of the new development. Clearly, some projects could be replacements of the existing infrastructure while others will be capacity increasing projects. Within the category of the latter, they may also be further classified into two categories;

1. Projects dealing with existing deficiencies, i.e., project required regardless of whether there is additional development or not. An example would be the replacement of a station roof or an failing emergency generator.

2. Projects that are required as a result of development. An example of this would be an aerial truck necessary because of future three and four floor construction.

All impact fee calculations claim to be fair. Most DIF calculations will identify the desired or required capital projects, most ostensibly generated as a result of development. However, little evidence is ever offered in support for such a claim. Therefore, what is fair and equitable? Is it fair to require future residents and businesses in a District to construct, via payment of impact fees, a new Fire Station when the current stations are merely rented or leased space? On the other hand, if a community already has all of the fire stations they will need at build-out, are they precluded from imposing an impact fee to recoup some of that expenses incurred in constructing the those existing facilities? These are difficult questions that may be made easier by the following examples.

Comparison of Needed Infrastructure with Existing Infrastmcture. The answer to these difficult questions may best be answered by comparing various fixed location infrastructure scenarios. This can be accomplished by looking closely at our friends in the planned community of Happy Valley3 for a few scenarios to explain the three possible conditions that can occur regarding the agency's current infrastructure and the demand upon them. We will use the provision of fire protection, a service that most of us as nonprofessional fighters can somewhat comprehend. These three "conditions" include, the fire suppression system of infrastructure construction:

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 5 67 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter One Background and Introduction

1. is On-target;

2. has been Deficient; and;

3. has created Excess Service Capacity.

Adoption of a Standard - According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a standard two-bay fire station ( estimated for purposes of this example to cost about $2,000,000) can meet the needs of 5,000 homes or 10,000,000 square feet of business pad. If these standards were adopted as Happy Valley's public safety element of the District's General Plan, they would be known as the de Jure or stated ( or desired) standard (i.e., the standard the community would like to meet).

The inductive impact fees ( or cost per proportional unit served) for this de Jure standard would then be:

Table 1-1
Calculation of N.F.P.A. Impact Cost
Land Use Station Cost Units Served Impact Fee
Residential Units $2,000,000 5,000 $400.00 per home
Business S.F. $2,000,000 10,000,000 $0.20 per S.F.

Service Base - Happy Valley's General Plan indicates that there will be 10,000 residential units and about 20,000,000 square feet of commercial/industrial space creating a need for four stations at build-out. The station calculation is as follows:

Table 1-2

Residential Units 10,000 5,000 2 Stations
Business S.F. 20,000,000 10,000,000 2 Stations
Required Stations at General Plan Build-out 4 Stations
Infrastructure is "On-target" - The need for four stations appears quite clear and the Happy Valley Council need only impose the impact fees calculated in Table 1-1. Currently, Happy Valley has 6,250 residential units and 7,500,000 square feet of commercial/industrial building pad and is half North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 6 68 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter One Background and Introduction
"built-out" (in terms of fire calls for service). The existing development in Happy Valley is generating half of its ultimate (General Plan build-out) fire calls-for-service. This is demonstrated in Table 1-3 below:

Total Number of Stations Required Currently 2.00 Stations Conversely, Happy Valley has the remaining half of its fire demand (in terms of calls-for-service) yet to come. Left to build are 3,750 detached dwelling units and 12,500,000 square feet of business floor space, and when constructed would generate the following capital needs identified on Table 1-4 on the following page:

2.00 Infrastructure is in Deficient Condition - And everyone is pleased in Happy Valley, (in particular the Fire Chief who now has four stations). However, consider the implications if the current Happy Valley residents and businesses had only shown the eariier commitment to construct a single station when, based upon their adopted standards, they should have constructed two stations? Clearly three more stations would be needed on the path to General Plan "build-out". We can easily dismiss as completely inequitable the possibility ofrequiring the remaining future home and business owners to finance all three remaining stations. But would it be fair and equitable to charge new residents the $400 per home and new businesses the $0.20 per business square foot in order to build the remaining two stations required to meet the N.F.P.A. standards? The simple and direct answer is no. The Happy Valley community has not (with only one station constructed at half build-out) demonstrated their full and complete commitment to meeting the N.F.P .A. standards, and as a result would not have a strong case to assert that others who build after them need to contribute towards the construction of multiple (two) fire stations at a higher level of service (LOL) by including the "missing" second station.4 The service provided by the single existing station is the community's de facto ( or "in fact") standard service level. With one station, the contributed equity to build the single station would be half of the impact fee proposed in Table 1-1, or $200/residential unit and $0.10/square foot of business space, respectively (see Table 1-6, following).

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 8 70 Section 7, Item A.

Table 1-6

Residential Units 3,750 $200.00 $750,000
Business S.F. 12,500,000 $0.10 $1,250,000
Amount Contributed by Existing Community $2,000,000
Cost of One New Station $2,000,000
Station(s) built with Community's Contribution 1.00
If Happy Valley has only built one station when the General Plan is at half build-out, we would be forced to conclude that the District is currently deficient by one station. If the future residents were asked to pay at a rate that would build two stations (the $400/$0.20 rates) the District would have three stations at build-out, one financed and built by the first half of the community, and two financed and built by the second half of the community. The first half of the community would, in effect "inherit" one half of a station at no cost to themselves. In short, Happy Valley would fail the proportionality test required of the Dolan decision. The inequity would then be exacerbated when the community decides to build the final "missing" second station from a District-wide assessment or from annual General Fund receipts, paid for by the entire community, including those who just paid for the two new stations.

The only truly equitable option is for the District to adopt impact fees at the $200/residence and $0.10/business square foot rates. Adoption of this fee would be referred to as the Community Financial Commitment or Equity-based Impact Fees. Admittedly, the District will go further into a deficit position in terms of the number of required stations, from being deficient by one station at half build-out to a deficiency of two stations at final build-out, but the ratio of deficiency (or overall proportionality) would remain a constant 50% of the stations needed at either time. The community, if they are truly serious about meeting the NFP A recommended standard, would then need to assess the entire community in some fashion to raise the needed money in some fashion for the remaining two stations either in the form of an assessment or dedication of general receipts of the District.

Infrastructure - Excess Capacity - One final but important scenario remains and must be considered. In this scenario the existing residents of Happy Valley were the industrious sort and ( at half build-out) had constructed three stations when they were at the point when they only needed two North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 9 71 Section 7, Item A.

Chamer One Background and Introduction
stations. Clearly there is demonstrable excess capacity in each of the three existing stations. In this case the Happy Valley's current de facto standard would be well above the de Jure or target standard.

Statistically, each of the three stations would have approximately 1/3 excess capacity (for providing services) and should be busy only about two-thirds of the time. Should the impact fee be limited only to the marginal $200 per residence and $0.10 per business square foot required to construct the one remaining required station? If so, the future residents receive a gift of the extra (third) station.

There will be tough decisions ahead to be made by the Happy Valley District Council.

Marginal or Recoupment Fee? Hopefully, we would all agree that the Happy Valley District Council should adopt, at a minimum, the $200/residence and $0.10/square foot business space rates to insure that the fourth station would be built. This would be referred to as the marginal needsbased fee. This clearly would be a benevolent gesture, giving the new residents and businesses, in effect, a free ride on the cost of the (already built and paid for) third station.

Or in the alternative, the Council can recognize that the $2,000,000 used to build the third station was little more than a loan from the existing community's General Fund, and needs to be repaid by the future community receiving an instantaneous level of fire protection the day they receive their occupancy permit5, through the imposition and collection of impact fees. 6 In this case, the $400/residence and $0.20/square foot ofbusiness space impact fees should be adopted, imposed and collected. The impact fee would accumulate $4,000,000 through build-out, $2,000,000 required to repay the General Fund in delayed revenue (for Station #3) and the $2,000,000 necessary to build the fourth station. This would be referred to as the Fair Share at General Plan Build-out-based fee. And more importantly, at General Plan built-out, long term equity would be achieved as each home and business would have contributed the same $400 per residence and $0.20 per square foot.

However, it is not possible to accept and support the idea that the proportionality test, when it limits the amount of the impact fee due to existing deficiencies, is a reasonable argument, but reject it when it indicates that there is excess capacity in the existing system. The issues in developing impact fees are often complex, but are best reached when equity between existing and future users is the target.

Such equity is the target of this Report.

CHAPTER ORGANIZATION
At the end of Chapter 3, there will be four cost/fee tables. They are:

The first schedule, 3 .1, the Allocation of Project Cost Estimates identifies the five projects/acquisitions, their costs and their relationship, in a percentage, to development or amount of increased capacity.

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 10 72 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter One Background and Introduction
"Marginal Needs"-based Impact Fee - This schedule, 3.2, will identify the impact fees that would need to be adopted to meet the basic capital needs identified in the Report for that infrastructure.

With adoption of this level of impact fees, one could claim that new development is occurring without any additional cost to the existing residents and businesses. You could not, however, claim that new development is paying its ''fair share." Existing Commitment or "Equity"-based Impact Fee - Schedule, 3.3, identifies the cost (in current nominal dollar value) of the existing infrastructure, including land, physical improvements and capital equipment. This is the average amount that has been"invested"by the current community of residents and businesses. This equity will be expressed in terms of the cost to construct or acquire the agency's existing assets at current replacement costs.

If the average "equity" (for a detached residential dwelling for example) on this Table is greater then the average cost on the previous "Marginal Needs" Table, then the infrastructure system is "front-ended" or has excess capacity. Earlier residents and businesses of the community have put more of the system into place than will the remaining unbuilt portions of the community, (as they build). The existing community has advanced money to build capacity into the infrastructure system to meet the needs of residents and businesses not yet there! The scenario where Happy Valley had already built three fire stations while it only had the current demands for two stations is an good example of a front-ended system.

Adoption of this level of impact fee would allow the District to claim that new development is not being required to pay to eliminate existing deficiencies.

Fair Share at General Plan Build-out Average-based Impact Fee or (existing capacity fee) - When a system is front-ended, or where there is evidence of greater equity than of the marginal needs-based costs, the fourth table, 3 .4, that will identify the average cost of the system required at "build-out" (the cost of the existing infrastructure system plus the cost of the future system needs). It will be the average of the "marginal" and the "equity" tables combined and then divided by the General Plan built-out community that would represent an amount, that if adopted, would equalize the cost of the system between the future community with that of the existing community.

The difference between the "marginal" amount and the larger "equity" amount would be "recoupment" of front-ended or advanced costs (or of delayed revenues).

However, if the average equity (again using a detached dwelling as an example) is less than the average cost on the previous marginal-needs table (for the same detached dwelling), it is an indication that system construction has been lagging or is currently deficient. When the marginal needs are greater than the equity, the fees are limited to the equity figures, based upon the North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 11 73 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter One Background and Introduction
argument that it would inequitable to require future residents and businesses to contribute greater amounts than have the existing residents and businesses. Where marginal needs are greater than current equity, there is no need for the third table (Fair Share at General Plan Build-out) in these cases. In short, if the existing community has not been inclined to construct an infrastructure system proportionally as the community developed, what basis does the community have to require the future residents to invest more, thus by eliminating, to some degree, the deficiencies created by the existing community? There can be no such rational argument.

Adoption of this level of fee would allow the District to claim that development is paying its fair share.

Chapter Two
Demographics and Findings
This Chapter provides an inventory of developed and undeveloped land within the North Central Fire Protection District and the City of Kerman' s boundaries. The City of Kerman land-use database may be referred to as the District's Urban Service Boundary area. The area within the District Urban Service Boundary contains significant potential for development of residential, commercial and industrial uses and this Report is limited to those parcels currently within the area described above.

CITY OF KERMAN LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS
The following is a discussion of the inventory of developed and undeveloped land within the boundaries of the Urban Service Boundary . The inventory of undeveloped land within the Urban Service Boundary forms the base for distribution of the estimated costs of impacts from new development within that area. The developed land inventory forms the base for distributing the cost of the existing infrastructure for comparison and for the de facto identification of the existing levels of service (LOS) provided by those existing infrastructure.

Table 2-1 , below, provides the inventory of all private land uses contained within the current District Urban Service Area. The acreage amounts indicated on Table 2-1 and Table 2-2, are based on the City of Kerman's General Plan's land use inventory of privately held parcels. 1 Table 2-1

Chapter Two Demographics and Findings
Such land-use information for the unincorporated area is not as available as the County General Plan is not as detailed, given the literally thousands of acres that are essentially vacant but actively used for agricultural/farming purposes. The report will calculate a schedule of development impact fees based upon the greater data available from within the finite City Limits of the City of Kerman and recommend fees for the North Central Fire Protection District Board to be considered for adoption by the City of Kerman City Council and the Fresno Board of Supervisors.

Land Use Definitions. This Report classifies properties as either one of three residential land uses or two different categories of business development. These land uses are defined below:

Residential Land Uses:
• Detached Dwellings - Corresponds what are often · referred to as single family residential homes and include specific zones with an allowable use designation of Very Low Density, Low Density and some Medium Density residential. • Attached Dwellings - Corresponds to the City's approval of what are often referred to as multiple family residential uses such as High Density and some Medium Density.
• Mobile Homes (in parks) - Must meet density requirements similar to the above and must qualify for a CUP.

Business/Commerce Land Uses:
• Commercial/Office - Commercial uses include the general category of retail services and thus includes outlets ranging from restaurants to auto repair shops to shopping centers.
• Industrial/Manufacturing Uses - This category contains all businesses engaged in heavy manufacturing or industrial development.

Definitions of Land Use Status. For each of the major land use categories detailed above and in Table 2-1, land is categorized as either Developed or Undeveloped. Definitions regarding the status of each land use are as follows:

Developed Acreage - Includes land in the District which is fully developed and is in conformance with the zoning designation for that area, or land which has received a building permit but which is not yet constructed. Acreage in this category may also include non-conforming use areas of the City which contain extensive development before changes to the General Plan were made.

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 14 76 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter Two Demographics and Findings
RCS made no request for projections regarding properties which are currently classified as "Developed" but which may undergo redevelopment in the future. The District may wish to establish a policy now about how to charge impact fees for these redeveloping properties, especially in the situation where an older property (i .e., a building constructed in the 1960's) may never have paid an impact fee to the District.

Undeveloped Acreage - Refers to all non-public vacant acreage located within the agency (and limited to only the portions of parcel that can be developed). This category also includes any largely vacant properties anticipated to be redeveloped in the future . See Appendix B for more detail.

Table 2-2, previous, provides a calculation of the median scenario potential growth land use inventory for the City, limited to privately held property as provided on Table 2-1. The City staff's land use median inventory reveals that there are presently 1,079.00 acres of privately-held developed land within the current City/District boundaries. Conversely, there remain 1,305.40 acres of vacant or substantially undeveloped land in the agency. Undeveloped land (in the median model) represents approximately 54.77% of the total 2,385.40 privately held acres within the City of Kerman City limits and also served by the North Central Fire Protection District. Not surprisingly, detached dwellings designated land constitutes the greatest amount (38.33%) of vacant acreage of all the land uses (914.4 vacant detached dwelling acres -;- 2,385.40 total vacant acres).

Chapter Two Demographics and Findings
Busine s Development. In order to assess the costs of impact from commercial or industrial building intensification or building expansions, this Report includes a calculation of impact fees both on an acreage basis and per gross square foot basis for commercial and industrial development. In order to accomplish this, City planning staff has, where necessary, estimated the average square feet of building coverage developed per net acre of land (often referred to as the average FAR, or EJoor Area Ratio), shown following:

Commercial/Office Development - 10,890 Gross Square Feet per Acre (about 25% F.A.R.) Industrial Development - /5,246 Gross Square Feet per Acre (about 35% F.A.R.) The City's General Plan (2027) identifies the addition of a low of 3,908 residential dwellings and a high estimate of 7,814 additional residential homes with a 22%178% split between attached dwellings and detached dwellings. The median plan indicates the construction of 5,862 total dwelling units (4,572 detached dwellings and 1,290 attached dwellings). The added population would be approximately 20,924. Retail office space has been estimated to increase by one acre per 124 additional residents. Application of this estimate would generate approximately 169 acres of additional retail/office space by 20272 . Industrial uses have been estimated to increase at a rate of approximately one acre per 154 new residents. Application of this estimate would generate approximately 136 additional acres of industrial acres by 20273 .

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
District staff has identified $4,438 ,700 in needed and desired capital improvement projects required through General Plan build-out of the remaining development within the boundarie of the ity of Kerman, and includes projects necessary only to support future growth, replacement project have not been included. The existing City Fire Development Impact Fee Fund balance offsetting of the total proposed cost by $110,000. The adoption of the recommended the Marginal Need-based impact fees, as supported by the calculations in this Report (Schedule 3 .2), would finance all of the needed capital facilities. It is important to note that this Report does not address vehicle replacement needs, thus underscoring the need to consider all available capital revenues.

Based on these costs and the schedules found at the end of Chapter Three of this Report, costs attributable to future development were derived on a per unit basis for residential land uses and on a per square foot of pad basis for commercial and industrial land uses. Schedule 2. 1, found at the end of this Chapter, provides a summary of the recommended Development Impact Fees for each type of infrastructure and land use category.

The total recommended maximum DIP schedule for each land use is also summarized on the following page.

Chapter Three
Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment
The Existing System. The Fire District currently responds to various calls-for-service within the District boundaries with some combination of the existing seven response and six administrative vehicles from one or more of the five existing stations. The five existing stations and assorted administrative buildings consist of:

Fire Station #21 is located on a two and a halfacre parcel at 15850 West Kearney Boulevard within the City of Kerman. The station is the largest in the District's inventory at 13,300 square feet and is constructed on 1.95 acres.

Fire Station #22 is a 3,170 square foot facility on a roughly half acre (0.56) parcel located at 806 South Garfield.

Fire Station #23 at 2,720 square feet, is the District's smallest station and is also located on the smallest parcel, 0.45 acres at 4555 North Biola in the community of Biola.

Fire Station #45 is 4,725 square feet and is located on a 1.58 acres at 7285 West Shields in the Fresno area. There is also a 3,500 square foot metal shop located behind the station and a 1,500 office building on the front of the parcel. This station is inactive for fire suppression response, but is used to provide space for District-wide paramedic services.

Fire Station #47 is located at 1709 West Bullard. The facility is 3,100 square feet and is on a roughly one-half acre (0.56) parcel. There is also a 1,000 square foot shop building behind the station. This station is also inactive for fire suppression response, but is used to provide space for District-wide storage/maintenance needs.

The land acquisition and construction replacement costs of the five existing stations and three administrative buildings represents a District-wide investment of $15,567,286. Not surprisingly, the District also has a sizable fleet of response and prevention units consisting of:
• Five Type I engines/pumpers;
• Two water tenders;
• A pick-up truck:
• Six auxiliary vehicles consisting of a Dodge Durango, a Ford pick-up, a GMC pick-up truck and a three Crown Victoria vehicles.

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 19 81 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter 3 Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles and Equipmem The total investment in the vehicle compliment is about $3,267,665. State vehicles and equipment have not been included in the equity figure. The District also has a significant inventory of specialty equipment including (but not limited to):
• Nineteen computers and two servers.
• Two copiers.
• Five station generators.
• A recording sound system.
• IP and wireless phone/communication system.
• Lawn tractor and mowers.
• Miscellaneous yard and station equipment.
• Five commercial washer/dryers, and;
• Radio tower and radio system.

The total replacement value of the District's specialty equipment is $679,240. Combined with the $15,567,286 in fire facilities, $3,267,665 in response fleet, the current net equity or investment in the fire stations and training facilities, response fleet with specialty equipment is a sizable $19,514,191. This figure represents what it would cost, at current dollars, to establish the existing District response capability at current vehicle, equipment, land acquisition and construction costs.

There is an existing City of Kerman Fire Facilities, Vehicle and Equipment Impact Fee Fund balance of $110,000. The relevance of this sizable financial asset investment will be established later in this Chapter in the proportionality application Demand Upon Infrastructure Created by the Development of Underdeveloped or Vacant Parcels.

While it can be said that numerous factors are considered when determining the number and location of fire stations within any agency, it can be stated without any logical argument that all new private development in the District will have an affect on the District's current ability to respond to fire, rescue, and emergency calls for service. The affect, simplified but not trivialized, is twofold. Initially, each new residential and business development will create, on average, more calls for service increasing the likelihood of simultaneous (and thus competing) calls for service.

Additionally, as development spreads further from the existing station, as large-scale development is often likely to do, the distances (and thus response times) will increase, taking the existing pumper, rescue and truck companies out-of-service for greater periods of time.

The capacity of any fire station is finite and will reach practical limits (through call frequency and total time). When that capacity is exceeded, the level of service afforded to existing development will be greatly reduced. Or stated in another way, if development continues without the addition of fire station capacity, the existing station could be overwhelmed, making a timely response for emergency service a virtual coin flip. The existing engine companies may not be available to respond to your needs and may be out-of-service on a call in a different part of the community, North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 20 82 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter J Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles and Equipme!Ll The Purpose of the Fee. In order to continue to be able to respond to an ever-increasing number of expected calls, the District staff has determined the need for the addition of one large (three bays wide by two vehicles deep station and a significant expansion of the existing fleet to accommodate known and anticipated development. Having the right type and number of fire stations in the right locations will enable policy makers, the District Board, Chief and command staff, to house firefighters, apparatus, and equipment in a rational way for maximum use of resources.

Conversely, the penalties are high and extremely visible, for poor fire station location or no facility location. Adverse effects are felt by the District staff, the Board, and indeed by the existing District taxpayers. With poor location or no additional location, response times, (via distance or out-of-service due to a previous call), can become excessive, and if a tragedy occurs, the incident will be well publicized.

Often, response time is mistakenly referred to for only the first-in unit, and this can be a grave error. Instead, response time must consider all the forces necessary to place the incident under control. If the first unit arrives within five minutes but cannot provide the necessary water flow, or perform the needed functions due to a lack of staffing, the five minute response becomes insignificant and irrelevant. Thus an increase in the number and type of response vehicles is also necessary to match and equip the needed additional staff. The following sections identify the manner in which the District plans to meet the demands of additional calls for service.

The Use of the Fee. The revenues raised from a properly calculated and legally-supported Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment Impact Fee would be limited to capital costs related to that growth. The fees would be used to construct a new station or expand the response capacity of the existing station. Conversely, the Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment Impact Fee receipts cannot be used to repair any of the existing fire stations or fully replace any existing emergency response vehicles.

Additional facilities are planned to come on-line, as needed, as development creates additional demands beyond the capability (volume or calls and distance) of the existing stations. The capital expansions include:

Station in Area East of Kerman (FD-01) - The acquisition of 1.5 acres and construction of the a 11,100 square foot three bay wide by two vehicles deep station. This sized station is estimated to cost approximately $5,770,549. The station is necessary to consistently meet the City's target response standard of five minutes to the area of eastern Kerman. Roughly 8,000 square feet of the proposed 11,100 square foot station would be necessary for a two bay wide by two vehicle deep station ultimately housing two companies of fire-fighters. This portion is necessary to accommodate the calls-for-service resulting from future the development of approximately 5,862 North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 21 83 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter 3 Fire Suppression Facilities. Vehicles and Equipmem dwelling units and 300 acres of commercial/office and industrial use development likely to occur in the City of Kerman. The remaining 3,100 square feet of the proposed station would be necessary for the third - two vehicle deep bay and working/living quarters for an additional company of firefighters. This portion of the costs of acquiring the land and constructing the station is proposed to accommodate the additional calls-for-service in the surrounding unincorporated area of the District. The third bay may not be necessary at the same time as the initial two-bay facility and thus may not be constructed at the same time. Regardless, the initial station should be designed and constructed to allow for the simple addition of the third bay and additional living quarters.

The station would be equipped with an 1,500 GPM engine/pumper, a 3,000 gallon water tender, a two brush rigs/ apparatus and additional specialty rescue equipment (FD-03, FD-04 and FD-05).

The proposed projects and costs are identified on Schedule 3 .1 and are detailed in the Master Facilities Plan (Appendix A). The total cost of completing the fire suppression system expansion is $7,060,549 or a net $6,950,549 after the City's existing Fire Suppression Development Impact Fee Fund balance of $110,000 is applied.

The Relationship Between the Need for the Fee and the Type of Development Project. Fire service response standards extended to new development should be consistent with the fire response currently enjoyed by the District's existing residents and business community by constructing new facilities, or the result will be a deterioration in the level of service provided both to the existing residents and future citizens and businesses within the North Central Fire Protection District boundaries. It follows that it is appropriate to assess future development to contribute additional fire facilities.

To project the impact of future development on fire services, it was first necessary to quantify the current impact on services from each of the land uses with the District boundaries. Then, a determination of the costs of future capital facilities necessary to meet this increased demand was made . The following illustrates the relative impact from each land use on response capability.

While the majority of these requests for service were made by the North Central Fire Protection District citizens from their residences, there were also some requests generated from business uses within the District. A survey of each land use and its existing effect on requests for calls for service was conducted to project the impact of future development on fire services.

Table 3-1, following, summarizes an analysis of the number of calls for service per year received by the District in calendar year 2006. The breakdown of calls into the land uses that generated them, divided by the number of developed units (during the same period of time) generates a "calls for service" demand factor.

As an example, there were approximately 18 calls for service per year that generated a response to one of the existing 2,555 detached dwelling units within the City/District boundaries. The result indicates that, on average, each dwelling will generate 0.007 calls per year. The same analysis was undertaken for the other two residential uses and the three business land uses. Since these calls for service by land use are an average, they can be used to project the number of additional calls that could be expected in the future by multiplying the average calls per residential unit or business acre by the number of anticipated number of new residential dwellings or business square feet.

Only requests for calls-for-services to privately held property were counted. Requests for service to public property, such as parks and public ROW or intersections, were excluded which distributing these calls pro-rata through the requests for service from privately held property. This is based upon the argument that all public land serves privately held land in some manner.

Of residential land uses, a detached dwelling is just slightly more likely to require an emergency fire service response at 0.007 annual responses per unit, than an attached dwelling at 0.004 annual responses per unit. Commercial and industrial acre development is shown to generate 0.016 and

0.012 responses per 1,000 square feet of developed land respectively. However, it should be noted that while there appear to be fewer calls to industrial properties, significant training is required to be prepared for business responses, (i.e., mass casualty and hazardous and flammable materials training).

Chapter 3 Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment Table 3-2, following, indicates, that on a comparative basis (and at average densities at build-out), an acre of mobile home development creates the highest demand for fire services, thus the impact fee for that use is the highest on an acreage basis. Commercial uses create the highest demand of the two business uses at 0.016 calls per acre.

Re ulting Marginal Needs-based Impact Fees. The adoption of the resulting Marginal Needsbased development impact fees, through build-out would pay for all of the proposed expansions, vehicles and equipment, but may not necessarily be fair or equitable. Table 3-4, on the following page and summarized from Schedule 3.2, indicates the Fire Suppression Facilities Vehicles and Equipment fee schedule necessary that if imposed and collected (and combined with the existing impact fee fund balance), would raise virtually all of the $4,328,700 necessary to finance the City development-generated additional two-bay station, response vehicles and specialty equipment. [This space left vacant to place the following table on a single page].

The Relationship Between the Use of the Fee and the Type of Development Paying the Fee. The use of the Jee is a equivalent to the need for the Jee. The impact fee would be collected as the development occurs (generally at building permit). As the development occurs, the impact is generated. The collected fee would be put to use to acquire land and construct fire stations and acquire additional emergency response vehicles and specialty equipment necessary to respond to those additional calls for service, without reducing the capability of responding to calls from the existing community.

The Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Co t of the Portion of the Facility Attributed to the Development Project. A replacement value of the existing North Central Fire Protection District fire suppression infrastructure (land and stations, response fleet and related rescue equipment) of $19,514,191 was referenced. This represents the current District-wide investment or commitment towards fire suppression capability by the existing taxpayers within the District's full boundaries. Most of the district assets are the result of acquisition via District general revenues which include revenues from the unincorporated area. Greater analysis indicates that approximately 14.92 % of the District's revenues was collected from the area of the District within the City's City boundaries with the remaining 85. 08 % collected from the unincorporated areas within the District. The total 2006-07 District tax revenues (from privately held property) was $3,065,426. 1 Approximately $2,911,517, or 14.92% of the $19,514,191 in capital assets, land and major equipment, resulted from District assessments on privately held properties within the City's boundaries. The remainder, or $16,602,674, was collected from assessments on residences and businesses within the District, but outside of the City's boundaries.

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 26 88 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter 3 Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment Again, it is important to note that the City also has an unobligated Fire Suppression development Impact Fees Fund - fund balance of $110,000 from residences or businesses recently constructed within the City's limits, but the remaining assets were contributed by all taxpayers within the full District. The combined assets contributed from within the City boundaries totals some $3,021,517. Table 3-5, following, indicates this calculation.

As an example, each detached dwelling unit has "invested" a significant $788 into fire suppression/medic capital. Compare the $788 investment by each existing with the very similar, but lesser $721 required of each new detached dwelling. There is no rational argument for requiring any lesser (or greater for that matter) commitment from future businesses or citizens.

The current community's commitment has been to establish a five-station fire suppression capability2 paid for via past impact fees and General Fund receipts. To allow future residents to benefit by use of all of the capital needs without contributing additional assets, would be clearly unfair to the existing residents. Table 3-6, on the following page, summarizes the distribution of the net $3,021,517 in replacement cost to the existing community, (Schedule 3.3 shows it in greater detail).

Table 3-7, on the following page, identifies some of the key system attributes of the District's Fire suppression system of infrastructure. The attributes identify that approximately 39.0% (or 27 calls-for-service) of the total 69. 31 annual calls-for-service at "build-out" are represented by the existing community who, have contributed a slightly larger proportion ( 41.1 % ) of the total financing of the entire system than that of the proportion of calls to be generated by the future community. The new fire demands to be added, in the form of additional calls-for-service represent about 61. 0 % of the total calls-for-service at General Plan build-out while that same new development will be asked to finance a lesser 58. 9 % of the fire infrastructure system by General Plan build-out. All of the above generally indicates that the District is advanced in terms of the construction of fire suppression infrastructure. Or another way to state it is that the future District members will generate 61.0% of the ultimate "build-out" calls for service, but would be asked to finance a slightly lesser 58. 9 % of the total required fire infrastructure system. It would certainly not be unreasonable, ( or certainly disproportional) to assume that the remaining 61. 0 % of the new calls for service generators would be asked to contribute the remaining 58. 9 % cost of the infrastructure.

Of importance is the fact that the equity-based community investment on Table 3-6 are just slightly higher, at nearly 9 % , than the marginal-needs based fees as demonstrated in Table 3-4. This indicates that the City, via the District, has more than maintained the proper pace of capital acquisition (station construction and acquisition of vehicles and equipment) with well planned routine and on-going expansion of the fire suppression infrastructure system. Additionally, Table 3-7 demonstrates the relative proportionality between the current investment and the capital demands needed to serve on future development.

Since the District Financial Commitment or Equity-based Impact Fees are greater than the Marginal Needs-based Impact Fees, a final schedule (3.4) and Table (3-8) has been included. It represents the combination of the existing and future communities, or the impact fee schedule were it to have been imposed upon the entire General Plan build-out community at once instead of this point in time. Or stated another way, the cost per type of unit equalized for time for the complete fifteen station fire suppression/medic infrastructure system. It distributes the cost of the entire fire suppression/medic infrastructure system ($7,350,217) over the entire General Plan build-out population and business community (69.31 calls-for-service). Table 3-8 is on the following page. [This space left blank to place the following table on a single page].

While Table 3-7 indicates that there may be a small amount of excess capacity in the existing fire station capacity, vis-a-vis the existing contribution and that the Fair Share at General Plan Buildout schedule of development impact fees could be adopted to recoup that minor difference and thus create fairness. However, greater accounting and analysis than was undertaken in this Report would be necessary to make such a claim. Given the closeness of the Figures in Table 3-4 and Table 3-6, it is recommended that the North Central Fire Protection District approve and the City of Kerman adopt the Marginal Needs-based schedule of Development Impact Fees as the most equitable set of fees to collect the capital income necessary to support the construction of fire suppression facilities, fleet and specialty equipment necessary to accommodate development within the City's limits.

RECOMMENDED NORTH CENTRAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR THE CITY OF KERMAN:

Since the equity position of the existing community is slightly greater than the marginal need-based fees, there is the general indication that there is excess capacity in the existing systems assets and that the recoupment oriented Fair Share at Build out-based Impact Fees (Schedule 3.4) would be the fairest set of impact fees. However, before the District could consider the adoption of recoupment impact fees (or a buy-in fee), or any other fee based upon the existing capacity or value of the assets the District would need to undertake an appraisal of the existing assets. Until such an effort is undertaken, the most equitable development impact fee schedule to adopt would be the Marginal Needs-based Impact Fees detailed in Schedule 3.2 and summarized in Table 3-4.

North Central Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 30 92 Section 7, Item A.

Chapter 3 Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment

RECOMMENDED NORTH CENTRAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS:

The set of Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicle and Equipment development impact fee schedule for the City of Kerman was based upon significant information available in a finite area.

However, it does will cost the District any more or less to construct fire suppression facilities or acquire response equipment to accommodate development within the City or in the unincorporated areas. However, development information or projections for the County areas are difficult if not impossible to make with any degree of accuracy. As a result, the set of fees calculated for the City areas are also recommended for adoption within the unincorporated areas of the District by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.

In short, a two-bay station can be planned for and meet the needs of a finite number of calls-forservice whether those new homes and business square feet be constructed within an incorporated City urban area or a unincorporated rural area. The difference between the two areas is that the smaller urban area would have a higher ISO rating due to the ability to meet a five minute or less response capability. The station serving the rural area, in order to serve the same number of homes or business square feet, would cover a much larger area, resulting in longer response times and a lower ISO rating.

Table 3-9, following, identifies the number of units of each type of land-use necessary to finance the construction of the third bay of the station proposed near the south east area of Kerman and acquisition of the required response vehicles. As an example, Table 3-9 indicates that it would require the collection of development impact fees from just over 3,600 detached dwellings to finance the $2.6 million portion of a southeast Kerman station single bay addition (necessary for additional responses to the unincorporated areas). It would take approximately 6,000 attached dwellings, 16.9 million square feet of commercial/office space, or 32.4 million square feet of industrial space, or any combination of development thereof that raises approximately $2.6 million.

Should development within the unincorporated areas exceed the $2. 6 million collection amount.

It is an indication that additional calls-for service, are beyond the capacity of that single bay addition can serve, and that additional station capacity would be necessary. The location of that station capacity could be determined att that time Those additional capital revenues would be used towards an additional station.

tation Southeast of Kerman Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment Submitting DepBitment(s): Project No. :

Administrative and Command Staff FD-01
Project Descriptio11:

Acquire land for and construct a proposed station near the area east and south of the existing City of Kerman corporate boundaries. The 11,100 square foot station would require approximately one and a half acres and would be able to house multiple response companies. The station would be three bays wide by two vehicles deep (4,800 S.F.). Approximately 2,622 square feet would be required for living quarters (kitchen, day room, restrooms/showers and sleeping dorms). Approximately 1,585 square feet would be required for mechanical/storage uses (laundry, workroom/shop, storage. electrical panel, vestibule and lobby). The remainder would consist of a 336 square foot office and 592 square foot conference/training room.

Justification/Requirement for Project:

Development within the Kerman City limits as well as in nearby unincoporated areas (within the District) will create the demand for a station near the southeasterly area of Kerman. Two of the station's three bays (and housing for two companies) will be dedicated to serving the additional calls-for-service generated by the addition of the 5,862 residential units and 3.9 million square feet of business uses anticipated to be developed within the Kerman City limits through General Plan build-out. The remaining two vehicle deep bay would be required to serve the additional calls-for-service generated by the less dense anticipated in the unicoporated areas.

Consequences of Not Completing Project:

The District staff would continue to respond with the finite capability/capacity based upon the existing three suppression stations and two support stations, specialty equipment and response fleet. Failure to acquire or construct the needed capacity improvements would ultimately reduce the existing level of service to current residents/businesses near tl1at station by increasing the probability of simultaneous calls-for-service time to any new development.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 9, 2025
PRESENTER: John Jansons, City Manager and Josefina Alvarez, Director of Finance SUBJECT: Presentation on Financing Strategy for High Priority Measure M Projects (JAJ & JA) RECOMMENDATION: City Council hear a presentation on Financing Strategy for high priority Measure M projects, with possible direction to Staff.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Kerman has undertaken an ambitious program of capital improvement projects including:

Animal Shelter (completed)
Hart Ranch Park (under construction)
New Police Station (acquisition complete), and
New “Senior Center” (Multi-Generational, Resiliency Center), (in design phase).

Measure M was approved by the voters to fund these types of projects with supplemental sales tax revenue. Augmenting Measure M has been a successful grant award program providing support to the Hart Ranch Park, the Senior Center and the Police station projects.

In 2024, staff identified the need for additional financing to advance these projects given their priority, anticipated cost, and urgency which revealed insufficient available cash flow to advance these projects virtually simultaneously.

To explore financing options available to the City to meet its goals, the City hired Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc. to represent the City on a potential bond financing program to secure the capital necessary to advance these projects and to protect existing grant funds which require timely performance.

Mr. James Fabian, with Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc. will present an overview of the financing strategy proposed to advance the City Council’s goals for community projects and address any questions the Council may have about the draft plan.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Undetermined at this time.

ATTACHMENTS:

None.
