Allan Levin
Allan Levin & Associates Thank you for providing the Desert Valleys Builders Association (DVBA)
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Gretchen Gutierrez the opportunity to review the City of Murrieta's Development Impact Fee Study, dated February 12, 2024. Following DVBA's examination several DIRECTORS anomalies were discovered. The following are those observations and Fred Bell/ 2024 PAC Chairman
Nobell Energy Solutions concerns.
Brian Benedetti
Brian Benedetti Construction Page 19, Table 3.6: Law Enforcement Facilities Fee Schedule Mark Benedetti
Mario Gonzales - Presidents Council
GHA Companies The study suggests that an Administrative charge of 2% for miscellaneous Joe Hayes - Presidents Council costs attributed to the collection and maintenance of a Development Impact Jeremy Roos
Agua Caliente Band of Fee Program is perfectly acceptable. It is NOT! Cahuilla Indians
Dave Lippert This applies to each of the designated impact fee categories in this study.
Lippert Construction, Inc
Bruce Maize
Orr Builders As part of a study implementing the Mitigation Fee Act, this administration Russ Martin fee is subject to the same "nexus" requirements as impact fees for public Mission Springs Water facilities. What are the costs incurred annually to administrate the District
Deborah McGarrey development impact fee program? What revenue levels is the city expecting Southern California Gas Company
Dan Olivier to collect annually?
Nethery Mueller Olivier
Alan Pace Of the services that the administration must perform, the city must show Petra GeoSciences that it is not double collecting for services charged as User Fees under Kevin Pillow
PS Air Museum Government Code Section 66014.

I VICE PRESIDENT
Tom Dubose
Dubose Design Group, Inc. This Table erroneously adds in Estimated Construction Cost of 2013. It SECRETARY/TREASURER adds more than $24 million to the Total Cost Allocated to New Pedro Rincon
Development thus affecting Trip Cost which should be $36, not $84. Table Osborne Rincon CPAs
VICE PRESIDENT 6.4 calculations should be reexamined.

Brian Benedetti
Brian Benedetti Construction Under Buildings MIC (Old City Hall) - The calculation is incorrect. The Mark Benedetti Value of $2,808,630 is a calculation of $189/sq.ft. not $198/sq.ft.
Mario Gonzales - Presidents Council
GHA Companies
Joe Hayes - Presidents Council Equipment (Appendix Table. 6) = There are several items in this list that Jeremy Roos one might expect to be included in the construction costs of various Agua Caliente Band of building types.

Lippert Construction, Inc Station 2 Heating and Air Units 16,524 Bruce Maize Fire Alarm Sprinkler System 8,375

Nethery Mueller Olivier A/C Unit-City Hall's Video Rm 10,500 Alan Pace A/C Units - Comm Center

The unit cost of $500 per square foot seems high for a Public Works Alisa a Company Maintenance Building.
Is there an example of a completed maintenance building with Jeff Wattenbarger - Presidents Council similar cost?

Allan Levin & Associates Multifamily square foot calculations used the incorrect denominator for CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER single family units at 2,555sq.ft. instead of multifamily at 1,198sq.ft.. This Gretchen Gutierrez relates to all three calculations.
