SUPPLEMENTAL SCOPE OF SERVICE

ADDITIONAL WORK ON DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY
The scope of service for the additional project management, meetings, coordination, calculations, and document preparation necessary to complete the Final Development Impact Fee Nexus Study is described below.

Task 1: Additional Coordination Meetings

Task 2: Nexus Study Revisions, Additional Analysis and Final Nexus Study

ADDITIONAL WORK ON PARK DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY The scope of service for Park Facilities Impact Fees includes preparation of a park specific Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and all required legal and technical documentation.

Accordingly, the additional scope of work request includes the following five (5) tasks:

Task 1: Data Collection and Analysis

Harris will participate in calls with the City’s Parks and Recreation Department to compile and evaluate what data is available to calculate the park facilities fee component and provide recommendations regarding the fee calculation methodology that is app ropriate for the data available. It is anticipated that up to two (2) calls will be required.

Task 2: Conduct Nexus Analysis and Develop Fee Schedule

Utilizing the land use assumptions and growth forecasts from the original nexus study as well as the additional facility context provided by City Staff in Task 1, Harris will determine the appropriate methodology to allocate the infrastructure costs to the various land uses based on the additional residents that these new developments generate. Harris will develop a fee model that can be refined in real- time during discussions with City Staff to account for modifications to the project list, cost allocation s, and alternative funding sources. Harris will ensure that the costs for facility construction and land acquisition are accounted for individually and can be updated independently. Harris will provide recommendations regarding annual updates and the various adjustment factors that can be utilized. Harris will calculate up to two (2) scenarios for the Facilities Fees. The fees will be calculated in compliance with the requirements of Section 66000 of the Government Code.

Harris will prepare the draft fees and participate in one (1) call with the City to discuss any comments on the fees before drafting the Parks Nexus Study.

Task 3: Conduct Nexus Analysis and Develop Fee Schedule

Upon City direction, Harris will prepare a Parks Nexus Study. The Nexus Study will be prepared in an organized fashion with an executive summary and will contain all required legal and technical documentation, including additional information required under AB602. The study will include all background information, the methodology used to determine the fees, all supporting information, calculations that demonstrate the legal nexus between the recommended fees and the impact created by new development, the relationship between the fee’s use and the type of project on which the fee would be imposed, the purpose of the fee, how the fees would be used, and a description of the relationship between the need for any additional facilities and the type of development project on which the fee would be imposed. The nexus study will include an analysis of the City’s existing fees and a comparison of the existing fees to the proposed fees, as well as an analysis of the impact fees collected in surrounding jurisdictions. I t is anticipated that the fee comparison will utilize the findings of the previously completed fee comparison and additional jurisdictions will not be added.

In addition, the report will discuss annual fee update procedures, credit and reimbursement policies, the required administrative procedures, including online reporting requirements and the fee collection requirements. We will also incorporate the legal methodology for calculating fees for accessory dwelling units.
