To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Kim Sao, Finance Director
Date: June 11, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPTING THE STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY FOR THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025

BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 53646 recommends that local agencies review and approve their investment policy once a year at a public meeting. While it is not required by statute, it is in the best interest of the City to discuss the policy with the City Council and have the policy approved and adopted. A public vote signifies that the City Council shares fiduciary responsibility with the City’s treasurer and increases the authority and legitimacy of the investment policy, providing for transparency and disclosure. We believe that the annual review and adoption is a financially sound organizational practice that should be maintained even if there are no changes to the policy.

Below are summaries of the main changes to the policy added for clarification and accuracy:

Section 8.4 Authorized and Suitable Investments – Joint Powers Authority Pool is moved from section 8.3 to 8.4 with no material changes to its content other than formatting for clarity.

Section 16. Performance Standards – To avoid using one Pool fund as a default fund, such as LAIF, a sentence is added to this section to require the City to “…regularly review and monitor liquid funds, and when necessary, move them to the appropriate authorized investment pool option to ensure that it continues to meet the City’s investment objectives.”

DISCUSSION
We believe that the Investment Policy (Exhibit A) provides guidelines for the prudent investment of the City’s temporary idle cash and outlines the procedures for maximizing the efficiency of the City’s cash management. This Investment Policy has been prepared in conformance with the existing laws of the State of California for General Law cities and adheres to the standards set forth by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), the Municipal Treasurers' Association of the United States and Canada (MTA US&C), and the California Municipal Treasurer’s Association (CMTA).

The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 6 Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible.

1. Policy
The City of Paramount shall invest public funds in such a manner as to comply with state and local laws; ensure prudent money management; provide for daily cash flow requirements; and meet the objectives of the Policy, in priority order of Safety, Liquidity and Return on investment. In accordance with the Municipal Code of the City of Paramount and under authority granted by the City Council, the City Finance Director is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury.

2. Scope
The investment policy applies to all investment activities and financial assets of the City of Paramount as accounted for in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

This policy is applicable, but not limited to, all funds listed below:
• General Fund
• Capital Funds
• Other Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Internal Service Funds • Trust and Agency Funds
• Any new fund created by the City Council unless specifically exempted.

3. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of local agencies investing public funds are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard which states, “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency”.

The City Finance Director and other individuals assigned to manage the investment portfolio, acting within the intent and scope of the investment policy and other written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility and liability for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely manner and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

4. Objectives
The City’s primary investment objectives, in order of priority, shall be:

1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and market risk.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 3
a. Credit risk, defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be mitigated by investing in issuers that carry the direct or implied backing of the U.S. Government (including, but not limited to, the U.S.

Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, and federally insured banks). The portfolio will be diversified so that the failure of any one issuer does not unduly harm the City's capital base and cash flow.
b. Market risk, (aka “interest rate risk”) defined as market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates shall be mitigated by limiting the maximum maturity of any one security to five years, structuring the portfolio based on historic and current cash flow analysis eliminating the need to sell securities prior to maturity and avoiding the purchase of long-term securities for the sole purpose of short term speculation. Moreover, it is the City's full intent, at the time of purchase, to hold all investments until maturity to ensure the return of all invested principal dollars. Limited exceptions will be granted for security swaps that would improve the portfolio’s yield and/or credit quality.

2. Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City of Paramount to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

3. Return on Investments: The City’s investment portfolio shall have the objective of attaining a comparative performance measurement or an acceptable rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles. These measurements should be commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints identified in this Investment Policy and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.

5. Delegation of Authority
The Municipal Code of the City of Paramount and the authority granted by City Council assign the responsibility of investing unexpended cash to the City’s Finance Director.

Daily management responsibility of the investment program may be delegated to the Assistant Finance Director, who shall establish procedures for the operation consistent with this investment policy.

6. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that conflicts with proper execution of the investment program or impairs their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Additionally, the Finance Director and the Assistant Finance Director are required to annually file applicable financial disclosures as required by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). Furthermore, Investment officials must refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual(s) employed by the financial institution with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 4

7. Authorized Dealers and Institutions
The Finance Director will maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the public agency in the State of California. These may include “primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule). Best practices include the following:
1) A determination that all approved broker/dealer firms, and individuals covering the public agency, are reputable and trustworthy; 2) the broker/dealer firms should have the ability to meet all their financial obligations in dealing with the Public Agency; 3) the firms, and individuals covering the agency, should be knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and the investment products involved; 4) no public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository as established by the established state laws; 4) all financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to conduct investment transactions with the public agency may supply the Finance Director with audited financial statements, proof of FINRA certification, trading resolution, proof of State of California registration, a completed broker/dealer questionnaire, certification of having read the Public Agency’s investment policy and depository contracts.

The Finance Director may conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of qualified dealers & institutions.

8. Authorized and Suitable Investments
Investment of City funds is governed by the California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq. Within the context of the limitations, the following investments are authorized, as further limited herein:

1. United States Treasury Bills, Bonds, and Notes or those for which the full faith and credit of the United States are pledged for payment of principal and interest. There is no percentage limitation of the portfolio that can be invested in this category, although a five-year maturity limitation is applicable.

2. Federal agency or United States government-sponsored enterprise obligations, participations, or other instruments, including those issued by or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by federal agencies or United States governmentsponsored enterprises.

3. Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is a State of California managed investment pool, and Los Angeles County Investment pool, may be used up to the maximum permitted by California State Law. A review of the pool/fund is required when part of the list of authorized investments, with the knowledge that the pool/fund may include some investments allowed by statute but not explicitly identified in this investment policy.

4. Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Investment Pools - Additionally, sSshares of beneficial interest issued by a joint powers authorityJPA organized pursuant to CA Code (Section 6509.7) that invests in the securities and obligations in compliance City of Paramount – Investment Policy 5
with CA Code 53601 (subsection ‘a’ to ‘r’, inclusive) are also authorized. Each share shall represent an equal proportional interest in the underlying pool of securities owned by the joint powers authorityJPA. To be eligible under this section, the joint powers authorityJPA issuing the shares shall have retained an investment adviser that meets all of the following criteria:
• The adviser is registered or exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
• The adviser has not less than five years of experience investing in the securities and obligations authorized in CA Code (subsection ‘a’ to ‘q’, inclusive).
• The adviser has assets under management in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000).

5. Negotiable Certificates of Deposit issued by a nationally or state-chartered bank, a savings association or a federal association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), or by a state or federal credit union. Purchases of negotiable certificates of deposit may not exceed 30% of total portfolio. Principal and accrued interest on these investments must not exceed the $250,000 FDIC/NCUA insurance limit. A maturity limitation of five years is applicable.

6. Time deposits or placement service deposits, non-negotiable and collateralized in accordance with the California Government Code, may be purchased through banks or savings and loan associations. Since time deposits are not liquid, no more than 50% of the investment portfolio may be invested in this investment type. A maturity limitation of five years is applicable. Effective January 1, 2020, no more than 50 percent of the agency’s money may be invested in deposits, including certificates of deposit, through a placement service as authorized under 53601.8 (excludes negotiable certificates of deposit authorized under Section 53601(i)). On January 1, 2026, the maximum percentage of the portfolio reverts back to 30 percent. Investments made pursuant to 53635.8 remain subject to a maximum of 30 percent of the portfolio.

7. Various daily money market funds administered for or by trustees, paying agents and custodian banks contracted by the City of Paramount may be purchased as allowed under the State of California Government Code. Only funds holding U.S.

Treasury or Government agency obligations can be used.

The Finance Director should establish procedures to report any major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.

10. Investment Pools / Money Market Funds
A thorough investigation of the investment pool/money market fund is required prior to investing, and on a continual basis. Best efforts will be made to acquire the following information:

1. A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.

2. A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.

3. A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 7

4. A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.

5. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings.

6. Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund?

7. A fee schedule, and when and how is it assessed.

8. Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds?

11. Collateralization
Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: non-negotiable certificates of deposit and repurchase (and reverse repurchase) agreements. To anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110% of market value for non-negotiable certificate of deposit and 102% for reverse repurchase agreements of principal and accrued interest.

Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current custodial agreement. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the entity and retained.

The City may waive the collateralization requirements for any portion of the deposit that is covered by Federal Deposit Insurance.

12. Safekeeping and Custody
All security transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis.

Securities will be held by a third-party custodian designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.

13. Diversification
The City shall diversify the investments within the portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. To promote diversification, no more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested in the securities of any one issuer, regardless of security type, excluding U.S.

Treasuries, federal agencies, and pooled investments such as LAIF, money market funds, or local government investment pools.

14. Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City of Paramount will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase.

Any investment longer than 5 years must be done with advance permission from City Council.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 8

15. Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City of Paramount are protected from loss, theft, fraud or misuse.

Separation of functions between the City’s Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director and/or the City Senior Accountant is designed to provide an ongoing internal review to prevent the potential for converting assets or concealing transactions.

Investment decisions are made by the Finance Director, executed by the Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director, and confirmed by the Senior Accountant. All wire transfers initiated by the Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director must be reconfirmed by the appropriate financial institution to the Senior Accountant. Proper documentation obtained from confirmation and cash disbursement wire transfers is required for each investment transaction. Timely bank reconciliation is conducted to ensure proper handling of all transactions.

The investment portfolio and all related transactions are reviewed and balanced to appropriate general ledger accounts by the Senior Accountant on a monthly basis. An independent analysis by an external auditor shall be conducted annually to review and perform procedure testing on the City’s cash and investments that have a material impact on the financial statements. The Finance Director shall review and assure compliance with investment process and procedures.

16. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.

The City intends to spread its investments relatively evenly between 0 and 5 years and hold those investments to maturity. The City is limiting its authorized investments to the safest end of the investment spectrum—debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S.

Government Agencies, and debt that is federally insured (see section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments, above, for a complete list of authorized investments). In addition, the City shall regularly review and monitor liquid funds, and when necessary, move them to the appropriate authorized investment pool option to ensure that it continues to meet the City’s investment objectives.

Therefore, an appropriate performance benchmark will be a Constant Treasury Maturity Rate consistent with the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The City recognizes that benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.

17. Reporting
The City Finance Director shall review and render quarterly reports to the City Council that include the following information:

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 9
• Investment type (e.g. U.S. Treasury Note, U.S. Government Agency Bond) • Name of the issuer (e.g. Federal Farm Credit Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank) • Maturity date
• Yield to maturity
• Current market value and source of market value
• Par and dollar amount for each security the City has invested in • Par and dollar amount on any money held by the City (e.g. LAIF balance, Cash Balance).

The report shall also include a description of any of the City’s funds, investments, or programs that are under the management of contracted parties, including lending programs.

The quarterly report shall state compliance of the portfolio to the investment policy, or manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance.

The quarterly report shall include a statement denoting the ability of the City to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall (or may not) be available.

The quarterly reports shall be placed on the City Council’s meeting agenda for its review and approval no later than 45 days after the quarter ends. If there are no Council meetings within the 45-day period, the quarterly report shall be presented to the Council at the soonest possible meeting thereafter.

18. Investment Policy Adoption
The City of Paramount’s investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council. The policy shall be reviewed annually by the City Council and any modifications made thereto must be approved by the City Council.

The Finance Director shall establish written investment policy procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this policy. The procedures should include reference to: safekeeping, master repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City of Paramount.

All the large New York City banks, including those that handle the bulk of the transactions of the major government securities dealers, now clear City of Paramount – Investment Policy 12
most of their transactions with each other and with the Federal Reserve through the use of automated telecommunications and the “book-entry” custody system maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. These banks have deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank a major portion of their government and agency securities holdings, including securities held for the accounts of their customers or in a fiduciary capacity.

Virtually all transfers for the account of the banks, as well as for the government securities dealers who are their clients, are now effected solely by bookkeeping entries. The system reduces the costs and risks of physical handling and speeds the completion of transactions.

Book value is acquisition cost less amortization of premium or accretion of discount.

Bullet Bond: See “Non-callable Bond.”

Fannie Mae: Trade name for the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), a U.S. sponsored corporation.

Federal Reserve System: The central bank of the U.S. that consists of a seven member Board of Governors, 12 regional banks and approximately 8,000 commercial banks that are members.

Fed Wire: A wire transmission service established by the Federal Reserve Bank to facilitate the transfer of funds through debits and credits of funds between participants within the Fed system.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 13
Freddie Mac: Trade name for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), a U.S. sponsored corporation.

Investment Agreements: An agreement with a financial institution to borrow public funds subject to certain negotiated terms and conditions concerning collateral, liquidity and interest rates.

Date: June 11, 2024
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH

THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL

WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY (JPA) FOR

ADMINISTRATION AND COST SHARING FOR THE PREPARATION AND

IMPLEMENTATION OF A COORDINATED COMPLIANCE MONITORING

AND REPORTING PLAN FOR THE DOMINGUEZ CHANNEL AND LOS

ANGELES AND LONG BEACH HARBORS WATERS

BACKGROUND
On March 23, 2012, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Dominguez Channel and Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors for metals and toxic pollutants. The City of Paramount is part of the Los Cerritos Channel Watershed area, which is tributary to the Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors. This TMDL requires the development and subsequent implementation of a monitoring plan intended to protect and improve water quality.

As with many TMDL requirements, the cities and agencies tributary to the Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors (Greater Harbor) worked together with the Gateway Water Management Authority (formerly known as the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority) to develop the original Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in April of 2019, which allowed the agencies to share the cost of the implementation plan. That agreement is set to expire in 2024.

DISCUSSION
As proposed, Amendment No. 1 will provide the ability to continue joint implementation efforts for Coordinated Compliance, Monitoring, and Reporting Plan (CCMRP) for the Dominguez Channel, and the Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors. Additionally, this agreement ensures compliance with the TMDL and consistency with other regional monitoring programs and usability with other TMDL related studies. This amendment will expire on December 31, 2029.

The cities and agencies currently participating in the TMDL include Bellflower, Lakewood, Long Beach, Paramount, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Signal Hill, Port of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, County Flood Control District, and the Agenda Report June 11, 2024
AMENDMENT NO 1. TO AGREEMENT WITH GWMA Page 2
Port of Long Beach. Additionally, there are several industrial sites with individual National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits that are subject to the same monitoring requirements. As identified in the agreement, provisions are detailed within the MOU to allow the participating agencies to assess a charge equal to the agencies initial baseline assessment should they wish to use the monitoring results to meet their individual permit requirements. To date, there are eleven agencies that have joined this JPA, which has lowered Paramount’s overall cost obligation.

FISCAL IMPACT
Paramount’s annual estimated cost is $24,012. That amount is included in the current FY 2023-24 budget as well as the proposed FY 2024-25 budget.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the agreement.

SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF TRACT MAP NO. 84130 (16261 ORIZABA AVENUE)

BACKGROUND
Tract Map No. 84130 responds to a request for the subdivision of parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 83749, where one (1) property was subdivided to create ten (10) single-family residential lots at 16261 Orizaba Avenue in the Planned Development with Performance Standards (PD-PS) / single-family residential zone. 16261 Orizaba Avenue, formerly part of a larger parcel that was owned by Iceland, was divided leaving one vacant lot while Iceland was sold to new owners/operators.

The ten (10) new units are detached two-story single-family homes that will consist of four (4) different floor plans, ranging in size from 1,950 and 2,078 square feet of floor area.

The parcels range in size from 3,199 square feet to 4,438 square feet. All ten (10) homes have three (3) to four (4) bedrooms and two-and-one-half bathrooms, an attached twocar garage, and driveway parking space.

DISCUSSION
The site consists of 0.823 acres and will be developed with ten (10) units. The approval of the subject tract map allows the owner to sell the units for home ownership.

The subject map (attached for your consideration) has been reviewed by the City Engineer, who has deemed that it is mathematically correct and substantially conforms to the tentative conditions as approved by the Planning Commission on October 4, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT ART STATUE

FOR PARAMOUNT POND

BACKGROUND
The City owns dozens of sculptures, statues, and diverse mediums of public art. The art varies in style from abstract shapes to lifelike figures to building facades full of color.

Located at the northeast corner of Paramount Blvd. and Jackson St. was a bronze statue, titled “Come On, Dad!", by Dee Clements. The statue depicted a father assisting a young hockey player to get ready for the ice. Unfortunately, that statue was recently stolen and is now in need of replacement.

DISCUSSION
To continue the City’s commitment to public art, staff is recommending the approval of a replacement statute. Staff received a quote from the National Sculptors’ Guild for the replacement of the bronze statue totaling $63,875. This quote includes the cost for the statue, reinforced stainless steel to prevent future theft attempts, and installation services.

According to the City’s adopted purchasing policy, purchases of equipment in excess of $25,000 need to be approved by the City Council. The manufacture and installation of this art statue is a sole source product, as it must match the other existing art statues at this location and as such, does not require competitive bidding.

The following is a breakdown of estimated total cost:

Statue: $ 63,875.00
Contingency (10%): $ 6,387.50
Total: $ 70,262.50

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this project was not included in the FY 2023-24 budget. An appropriation of $70,000 will be needed utilizing the Art Fund.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES

SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH J.K. DESIGNS FOR THE VETERANS MEMORIAL CIRCLE (CITY PROJECT NO. 9477)

BACKGROUND
On September 12, 2023, the City Council approved an agreement with J.K. Designs, Inc. to create and install a new art piece and granite circle at the existing Elks Memorial Circle at the City’s Memorial Plaza. The renovation work to remove the existing tile circle and install the concrete base for the granite circle as well as the anchors for the new art piece was to be completed by a contractor separate from J.K. Designs, Inc.

DISCUSSION
In attempting to coordinate the renovation work to remove the existing tile circle and prepare the space per the artist’s specifications to install the granite slab and anchors for the art piece, it was determined that this best belongs under the control of the artist and their installer. The work in the space to prepare for the art piece and granite circle are integral to the installation of this new art piece and is best conducted as part of the overall art installation.

The additional costs associated with this installation are part of the overall budget projection for the renovation of the paving in the Memorial Plaza. The scope of work and costs associated with the agreement were included in the original Exhibit A “Scope of Artwork” and Exhibit B “Schedule of Compensation”. These exhibits to the agreement have been amended to include the additional scope of work and costs. The renovation work to demolish the existing tile circle and prepare the site for installation of the granite circle and art piece is $59,671.20. The new total cost for site preparation, installation of the granite circle and installation of the new memorial art piece is $205,391.20.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this site’s preparation work for the new art piece is included in the FY 2023- 24 Capital Projects Budget.

Date: June 11, 2024
SUBJECT: HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AT 8527 CHESTER STREET

BACKGROUND
The Paramount Home Improvement Program is funded with both Federal Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies and is intended to provide improvements for owner-occupied, single-family detached dwellings and mobile homes on fixed foundations. Grant funds only cover Cityapproved improvements, and applicants must meet strict guideline criteria as an incomequalifying senior (at least 62 years of age with household income at or below 80% of area median income) or as a low-to-moderate-income household (50% of the area median income for a particular household size). The City uses HOME and CDBG funds to provide necessary improvements and correct deficient construction. The general contractor works closely with staff to ensure compliance with the Building Code and other construction codes.

At the May 14, 2024 meeting, the City Council approved changes to the Home Improvement Program Guidelines. These changes increased the City grant to a maximum $30,000. Previously, the grant was $21,600 if contributing 80% of project costs or a maximum grant of $24,300 if contributing 90% of project costs for low income and senior households.

DESCRIPTION
This request is for an award of contract for Home Improvement Program construction services for a single-family home at 8527 Chester Street. The contract is not between the City and a contractor; rather, the City facilitates a contract between the property owner and a contractor.

The homeowner solicited three construction bids from a City-approved bid package.

VV&G was selected as the lowest qualified bidder. VV&G, a longstanding contractor in Paramount, has maintained an active “B” General Building Contractor license since 2012.

The work to be completed at the residence includes the following (summary attached) – apply new stucco color coat, paint the exterior trim areas, install a garage door, and replace windows.

Agenda Report June 11, 2024
AWARD OF CONTRACT – 8527 CHESTER Page 2
Funding
Under the Home Improvement Program, a household is eligible to receive a maximum grant of up to $30,000. A project with total construction costs exceeding the available grant amount requires the property owner to contribute additional funds. A zero-interest loan of up to $15,000 is also made available to eligible applicants.

In this case, the property owner qualifies for the maximum grant. The property owner will contribute $3,105 and benefit from $30,000 of CDBG grant funds.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the Home Improvement Program is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget. The approved budget satisfies the required $30,000.00 CDBG funding for this project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award the contract for construction services to VV&G in the total amount of $33,105.00 from CDBG funds and property owner contributions for Home Improvement Program construction services at 8527 Chester Avenue.

SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ECONOMIC & PLANNING SYSTEMS, INC. TO CONDUCT A DEVELOPMENT IMPACT

FEE NEXUS STUDY

BACKGROUND
The City collects development impact fees as part of approval requirements of a development project. A local government agency charges a development impact fee to an applicant with the approval of a development project. The purpose of such a fee is to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities and infrastructure related to the project.

The City’s development impact fees have not been updated since the early 1980s. This item is a request to approve the professional services agreement with Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to conduct a development impact fee nexus study for a total sum not to exceed $215,850.

If approved, the agreement with EPS would allow for a thorough evaluation and update to the city’s development impact fee program and explore the adoption of three additional fee categories: Transportation, Public Safety, and an Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee. The Development Impact Fee Nexus Fee Study report will include recommendations for updating the process of implementing and administrating the fee program, including those elements that are ultimately part of enabling Ordinance and Resolutions to be adopted by the City Council.

DISCUSSION
The California Permit Streamlining Act requires local agencies to provide applicants of a development project with information listing all requirements for their project, including fees imposed. Additionally, the California Mitigation Fee Act addresses the fees collected for “Development Projects.” This Act requires cities to identify and determine the applicability of development impact fees and find a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. This relationship is known as a nexus.

Assembly Bill 602 (AB 602) which was signed into law in September 2021, requires local agencies that conduct an impact fee nexus study to follow specific standards and practices. When applicable, the nexus fee study must identify the existing level of service Agenda Report June 11, 2024
EPS - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT Page 2
for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate. Studies shall be updated at least every eight years, from the period beginning on January 1, 2022.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
Procuring the services of a vastly qualified firm is key to guaranteeing that the final work product is of the utmost quality and substantive. Following a thorough search and evaluation of completed development impact fee nexus studies in other jurisdictions, staff recommends Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS). Established in 1983, EPS is a leading consulting firm with a broader practice in public finance. This holistic background ensures that development impact fees are effectively integrated with other financing mechanisms and resources to best serve City needs. EPS is deeply familiar with the regulatory environment governing the development and implementation of impact fee programs.

Pursuant to Chapter 3.12 (Purchasing of Supplies and Equipment) of the Paramount Municipal Code, this acquisition is exempt from competitive bidding due to this being a professional service contract with an experienced and trained firm in public finance as specified in Section 3.12.080 of the Municipal Code.

The attached proposal highlights the unique qualifications of EPS and proposed scope of work.

Subject: Proposal to Conduct a Development Impact Fee Program Evaluation; EPS #244011
Dear Ms. Bejerano:

On behalf of Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS), Fehr & Peers, and Bartle Wells Associates (“EPS Team”), I am pleased to submit this proposal to conduct an evaluation and update to the City of Paramount’s development impact fee program. We
understand that City would like to update its six existing development impact fees—General Plan, Park Development, Public Art, Water Capital, Sewer Reconstruction, and Storm Drainage-- and also explore the adoption of three additional fee categories, including Transportation, Public Safety, and an Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee.

Founded in 1983, EPS is a land use economic consulting firm with offices in Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, and Denver. The firm has completed hundreds of development impact fee nexus studies for jurisdictions throughout California, and is deeply familiar with the regulatory environment governing the development and implementation of impact fee programs. Additionally, our broader practice in public finance allows us to ensure that development impact fees are effectively integrated with other financing mechanisms and resources to best serve cities’ needs. We also apply our broad understanding of real estate economics and land use planning to ensure fee programs effectively balance the need for quality public facilities with the feasibility of new development and other critical policy objectives.

For this effort, EPS has partnered with two frequent collaborators, Fehr & Peers and Bartle Wells Associates, to conduct analysis for the Transportation, Water Capital, Sewer Reconstruction, and Storm Drainage. The two firms bring expertise in the specialized methodologies needed for these particular fee categories and have successfully developed fee programs for jurisdictions across the State.

Economic & Planning Systems
2 The enclosed proposal includes our proposed scope, budget, and schedule to complete the requested study, as well as additional information on our experience and qualifications. we would be happy to discuss the proposal and consider revisions that may be needed to better meet the City’s needs. The proposal as submitted will be remain valid for up to 120 days of the date of this letter. If you have any questions or comments related to this proposal, please do not hesitate to contact me – my contact information is included below.

We are very excited about the opportunity to work with the City on this important project, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
ECONOMIC & PLANNING SYSTEMS, INC.

Paramount Development Impact Fee Program Review
June 3, 2024

Page 3 ends

1. Executive Summary
The City of Paramount is seeking to review, update, and expand their existing development impact fee programs to help fund a range of public facility improvements that are important to the City’s future and quality of life. EPS understands that the economic vitality of the City is linked to critical investment in its urban infrastructure system. The fee program will supplement other local, State, and Federal funding programs by having new development pay a proportional share of the costs of needed facilities. If appropriately updated and implemented, the City’s fee program can be an important stimulus for economic development, providing certainty to developers about the rules and financial obligations they will face and ensuring adequate infrastructure will be available to support growth and enhance competitiveness.

The EPS Team’s approach to developing a comprehensive fee program 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 decisionmaking 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.

Our team has found that the most successful impact fee studies are those that inform key stakeholders throughout the study process and seek feedback on findings. Project milestones and checkpoints will be set where stakeholders are provided the analytic findings and are asked to respond with any questions or comments. Based on this feedback, City staff and the EPS Team will determine whether additional further research or technical modifications should be made.

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 the establishment of 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.

Project steps include developing a schedule of maximum fees, by land use category, which are justifiable based on AB 1600, the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code sections 66000 et seq.) and subsequent related legislation, including AB 602. The Mitigation Fee Act sets forth the procedural requirements for establishing and collecting development impact fees and requires that a reasonable relationship, or nexus, must exist between a governmental exaction and the purpose of the condition. The maximum allowable fee levels then act as a starting point for review and discussion concerning fee levels and program implementation, recognizing there are several economic and policy considerations that inform fee program decisions beyond the specifics of the technical work.

Economic & Planning Systems
4 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 infrastructure and public facilities, the development impact fee program must be effectively integrated with other programs and resources to ensure 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 that 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 consultant team and City staff to provide clear information and updates to City Council and other stakeholders throughout the process. In addition, it will be important to understand and monitor the economic implications of the fee program to ensure that financial burdens on development are reasonable and do not hinder growth.

2. Scope of Work
The EPS Team has established the following proposed work program for updating and expanding Paramount’s Development Impact Fee program, informed by the City’s unique circumstances and objectives, as well as our experience on other similar projects. The EPS Team looks forward to working with the City to calibrate the proposed work program and associated budget to best suit the City’s needs, recognizing that some analytical elements described below may not be required at the level of detail or effort currently offered.

Task 1: Project Initiation and Document Review
The EPS Team will participate in a Project Initiation meeting with the City Team to refine the scope, schedule, and deliverables, as needed; identify key resources and data; establish the study outreach and communication protocol; and identify key technical and policy issues/challenges and to resolve how they will be addressed. This meeting will also address the following topics:
• Potential new fee categories
• Anticipated capital improvement needs and costs relevant to the fee categories • Fee calculation approaches and any potential modifications from the existing fee structure
• City growth projections
• Land use categories included in the fee program and any potential modifications from the existing categories, including the addition of allowable fees for ADUs • Preliminary discussion of fee modifications strategies such as fee credits, land use exemptions, and zones of benefit (explored further in Task 8).

Prior to the Project Initiation meeting, the EPS Team will request and review relevant documents and data from the City, including the existing Development Impact Fee Program structure and schedule; previous impact fee studies; the City’s General Plan, Specific Plans, and Master Plans; the City’s CIP; and any other relevant document as necessary. The EPS Team will discuss issues and questions related to these documents with the City Team and identify additional information needs, if any.

Task 2: Data Collection and Development of Project List Subtask 2.1: Land Use Projections
The EPS Team will review planning documents and work with City staff to establish appropriate land use assumptions and growth projections. Land use projections will be important for allocating the public facility demands of new development on a pro rata basis relative to demand generated by existing uses. EPS will focus on the land use categories discussed in the Project Initiation meeting, and based on the Team’s review Economic & Planning Systems
6 and extensive experience with appropriate AB 1600 nexus methodologies, will identify any issues and potential items for further discussion with the City Team.

Subtask 2.2: Project List Development
The EPS Team will work with relevant City departments to compile a list of the City’s infrastructure and public facility needs and costs. The list will be informed by the departments’ long-term capital goals and priorities, service standards, and other factors relevant to the fee program.

As part of this task, the EPS Team will also work with the City to collect information regarding available impact fee fund balances available to offset infrastructure needs, as well as any outstanding credit and reimbursement obligations that the updated fee program should recognize as an outstanding funding need.

The EPS Team assumes that City departments will provide cost estimates associated with the capital improvement needs to be funded in part through the Development Impact Fee program. In the event that the City cannot provide such cost estimates, the EPS Team may engage additional subconsultants to provide these estimates, subject to an additional budget request.

Task 3: Nexus Analysis and Impact Fee Calculation
The EPS Team will prepare the nexus-based cost allocation necessary to develop a preliminary fee schedule for the City’s existing fee categories—General Plan, Park Development, Public Art, Water Capital, Sewer Reconstruction, and Storm Drainage--as well the three new fee categories requested by the City--Transportation, Public Safety, and an Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee. The methodology for calculating the public facility-related development impact fee categories requested for this study is detailed in the following subtasks, while the methodology for calculating the affordable housing commercial linkage fee is detailed in Task 4.

Subtask 3.1: General Plan, Public Art, Park Development, and Public Safety Fees To calculate updated General Plan, Public Art, and Park Development fees, as well as the potential new Public Safety facility fee, EPS will prepare a cost allocation model to appropriately assign costs to new development. Specifically, EPS will review each capital project to determine whether the entire cost or a reasonable portion thereof can be fairly allocated to new growth. The costs for projects that clearly serve both existing and new development will be allocated based on the proportion of the demand generated, or other appropriate nexus-based approach. 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.

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 from each fee category. The fee for each land use will be derived by dividing the relative capital facility costs by the projected development in that land use Paramount Development Impact Fee Program Review
June 3, 2024

Page 7 ends

category. Based upon the cost allocation and with incorporation of the appropriate administrative cost allowance, EPS will prepare a preliminary fee schedule with the total costs attributable to the projected development of each land use type.

Subtask 3.2: Transportation Fee
Fehr & Peers will use the SCAG Activity-Based Model (ABM) base year and 2050 traffic models to determine the extent to which roadways/intersections included in the fee program are used by existing City land uses, future City land uses, and non-City land uses; the number of dwelling unit equivalents (DUEs) anticipated between base year and 2050; and the square feet of commercial developments anticipated between base year and 2050. Fehr & Peers will then use the SCAG ABM to calculate the fair share of the traffic impact fee per DUE, and fair share per square-foot for various non-residential land uses.

Subtask 3.3: Water Capital and Sewer Reconstruction Fees Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) will work with relevant City departments to review the City’s current water and wastewater capacity charges as well as any related policies and procedures. The team will evaluate if the fees equitably recover the full costs of infrastructure and assets benefitting new development and comply with Government Code 66013, and as appropriate, identify potential modifications to the fees, fee structure, or how fees are applied.

BWA will then calculate the current value of the City’s water and wastewater system infrastructure and assets. The current value can be calculated by adjusting the original or depreciated value of each facility or asset into current dollars using the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index, a widely-used measure of construction cost inflation. Alternatively, system value can be based on an inventory of utility system infrastructure.

Using the above information, BWA will equitably allocate anticipated capital improvement costs for each type of asset to existing and future users based on input from City staff.

Some projects may entirely benefit one group while others will provide a portion of benefit to both correct existing system deficiencies and provide new capacity for growth.

Finally, BWA will work with City staff to identify the capacity of water and wastewater system infrastructure and/or future service levels each utility is expected to serve, such as through buildout. Wastewater system capacity can potentially be based on the permitted capacity of the wastewater treatment plant, engineering master plans, or projected wastewater flows and loadings. Water system capacity can be based Urban Water Management Plan projections, engineering master plans, or other estimates of projected water demands through buildout. The team will also work with City staff to evaluate alternative fee structures and methods for applying capacity charges to new residential, commercial, and industrial connections. For example, BWA sometimes recommends that residential fees be applied per dwelling unit, potentially with standard charges per single family home and reduced charges for multi-family residential dwelling units. BWA also often recommends that commercial capacity charges be applied based Economic & Planning Systems
8 both on water meter size and wastewater customer class. BWA will also evaluate fee structures for industrial accounts and accessory dwelling units.

Based on appropriate and technically sound methodology, and evaluation of alternative approaches, BWA will develop updated water and wastewater capacity charges.

Subtask 3.3: Storm Drainage Fees
BWA and EPS will review relevant City plans and work with City staff to determine the directly connected impervious area factors (DCIA Factors) associated with each land use to be charged for storm drainage. The Team will then use these factors to assign relevant storm drainage improvement costs established in Task 2 to new development by land use category. The Team will work with City staff to determine if costs and cost allocations should be determined separately for specific basins or development areas.

Subtask 3.4: Maximum Allowable Fee Calculation
Based on the above described nexus analyses, the EPS team will establish the maximum allowable fee level, comprising the fees for each facility category, for each land use. This information will be incorporated into the Nexus Study Report prepared by EPS in Task 6.

EPS will summarize the fees by improvement type and land use for the City to review.

With the exception of the Water Capital and Sewer Reconstruction fees (which are exempt from this requirement), the fees will be calculated on a per square foot basis for all uses, including residential uses, as required by AB 602. Additionally, the Team will calculate fees for ADUs that conform with State regulations. The fees will include an administrative component to cover the cost of fee program implementation and oversight.

The nexus methodology will satisfy the following Mitigation Fee Act requirements:
• Identify the purpose of the fee.
• Identify the use of the fees. If the use is financing public facilities, the facilities must be identified.
• Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
• Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for a public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is being imposed.

The resulting calculated fees will represent a maximum justifiable fee for each land use type. Fees may be refined based on other considerations including comparison with peer jurisdictions (described in Task 5) and consideration of other types of fiscal contributions from new development.

Paramount Development Impact Fee Program Review
June 3, 2024

Task 4: Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee
EPS will calculate affordable housing impact fees for commercial development through the preparation of a commercial linkage fee nexus analysis. The nexus (i.e., linkage) between new nonresidential development and the demand for affordable housing is derived by preparing employment density and compensation estimates of future employees for several nonresidential land use types (e.g., retail, office, industrial, lodging, etc.). The demand by land use category will be converted into a fee, on a perbuilding-square-foot basis, based on the affordability gap with regard to very low, low, and moderate-income household earnings and the typical cost of housing in Paramount.

The maximum nexus-supported fees generated by the industry-standard analysis are often significantly higher than jurisdictions have wished to implement. The City staff may consider the findings from the optional fee survey (Task 5), common feasibility thresholds for fees on commercial development, and the City’s economic and community development objectives to determine an appropriate fee level to recommend.

Task 5: Fee Comparison Analysis
The maximum allowable fee levels are only the starting point to the implementation and approval process since decision-makers may ultimately approve a lower fee to advance economic and other policy considerations. Once the preliminary impact fee is derived, the City may wish to evaluate and consider potential impacts on local economic development goals.

To this end, the EPS Team proposes to conduct a comparison of development impact fees between the proposed updated fees for the City and up to four (4) peer jurisdictions (selected in dialogue with City staff). The goal will ensure that the proposed fees are inline with regional trends, taking into account differences in local economies. The EPS Team will additionally evaluate the relative financial burden that the fee will place on new development in the City as compared to its peers, based on the local real estate market values. The EPS Team will produce a short technical memorandum summarizing the fee comparison and fee burden analysis. This analysis may result in modifications to the fee program and schedule.

Task 6: Nexus Study Report
Once the fee schedule is finalized, the EPS Team will prepare a Nexus Study Report that documents the assumptions and methodology used to establish the required nexus for creating each fee. The Report will include comprehensive background on the Impact Fee Program and each fee category, as well as detail the technical analysis and clearly describe the nexus findings and rationale for allocating facility cost to new development as required by AB 1600, as well as rationale for any changes to the fee levels as required by AB 602.

The Report will also include recommendations for updating the process of implementing and administrating the fee program, including those elements that are ultimately part of Economic & Planning Systems
10 the enabling Ordinance and Resolutions. These elements will include, but are not limited to, fee collection protocol and options for annual standardized cost escalation.

Deliverables under this task will include an Administrative Draft Report for City staff review and comment; a Public Review Draft Report, incorporating one round of staff comments, for review by key stakeholders, elected officials, and the public; and a Final Report incorporating comments arising from the public review draft. The EPS Team will maintain a working database of all documents, interviews, and other resources used in the study. We believe that thorough documentation and transparency is critical to achieving consensus and a successful study outcome. Accordingly, all assumptions and calculations will be clearly sourced, easily replicable, and prepared as user-friendly deliverables.

Task 7: Project Management and Public Outreach
Subtask 7.1: Project Management
In general, the EPS Team’s approach to communication is to maintain open channels of dialogue throughout the study process. As such, the EPS Team will respond to inquiries and requests from City staff and stakeholders as they arise, and address and incorporate the information or direction received as appropriate. During the project initiation meeting detailed in Task 1, the EPS Team will establish a schedule for regular check-in calls with the City Team. EPS will participate in these calls to report on progress and status of the analysis and to solicit input to potential problems, with staff from Fehr & Peers and Bartle Wells Associates participating as needed. The provided cost estimate assumes these meetings will occur monthly by phone or videoconference, to provide cost savings to the City. The EPS Team can revise these assumptions based on City preferences.

Subtask 7.2: Public Hearings and Outreach
Following the release of the Public Review Draft, EPS will participate in up to two (2) virtual meetings to provide information to and solicit feedback from key community stakeholders, including representatives from the real estate development industry. EPS will work with City staff to finalize the format of these meetings and to develop a list of relevant stakeholders to invite.

EPS will also participate in and present at up to two (2) City Council public hearings related to the Development Impact Fee Program as requested by the City Team, with participation by senior staff from Fehr & Peers and Bartle Wells Associates at up to one (1) hearing if requested. EPS will create tailored presentations designed to articulate to decision-makers the key data and analysis conducted by the EPS Team, and will also be prepared to respond to questions and concerns that arise within the hearing setting. If requested by the City, EPS will also review the ordinance and resolution language and provide feedback, and will consult with the City’s legal counsel on the nexus between the projects funded through the program and citywide benefits. EPS will also be available to assist City staff in drafting a staff report for City Council on the findings of the nexus Paramount Development Impact Fee Program Review

Project Timeline
The EPS Team is available to begin work on this study immediately upon authorization to proceed and is prepared to complete the scoped work within approximately six (6) months of engagement. This schedule assumes that the required input and data from City staff is provided in a timely manner. In addition, the exact timing of the stakeholder meetings and public hearings will be dependent on participant availability and City meeting schedules and agendas.

Entity: City of Burbank
Project Manager: Beverly Ibarra, Senior Administrative Analyst Phone Number: (818) 238-5262
Email: [email protected]
Project Start and End Dates: 5/7/2014–6/30/2022
Project Description: The City of Burbank was interested in updating its existing development impact fees and investigating the addition of several new fee categories.

While the city’s traditional residential neighborhoods have approached buildout, the commercial and industrial areas are experiencing significant growth pressures driven by the city’s competitive attributes in a thriving regional economy. The City’s existing fee structure was based on outdated growth assumptions and had failed to capture “fair share” fiscal contributions from high-growth development sectors—media studio, multifamily residential, and lodging, primarily.

EPS and Fehr & Peers worked with the City’s Community Development Department to perform an AB 1600 nexus analysis that would revise the existing fee program, incorporate new fee categories, and broadly consider financing and economic implications. The existing fee categories included fire, police, parks, libraries, and transportation, while the new fee categories included information technology. The study process included: data collection on population growth projections; interviews with City departments to clarify the goals and standards of the nexus analysis and to discuss infrastructure needs; and, calculation of maximum justifiable fees based on infrastructure cost information provided by the City.

After calculating the proposed fees, EPS performed a competitiveness analysis, evaluating the existing and proposed total fee burden in Burbank relative to fees in neighboring jurisdictions. As a subconsultant to EPS, Fehr & Peers reviewed existing and new transportation projects in the city and conducted a nexus analysis to relate the needs for the identified transportation improvements to new development. The updated fee program was adopted by City Council in June 2022. The final nexus study can be accessed here:

Vacaville Comprehensive Fee Update (EPS and Bartle Wells Associates) Vacaville, California
Entity: City of Vacaville
Project Manager: Gwen Owens, Deputy Director/City Traffic Engineer Phone Number: (707) 449-5174
Email: [email protected]
Project Start and End Dates: 4/30/2018–8/24/2022
Project Description: After the completion of its 1990 General Plan, the City of Vacaville (City) established a comprehensive Citywide development impact fee program to ensure new development helped fund the new infrastructure and capital facilities required to serve this growth. The City’s fee program included fee to help cover the capital costs of:
(1) Traffic; (2) Parks and Recreation; (3) Public Safety; (4) General Administrative Facilities; (5) Drainage; (6) Sewer; and (7) Water. The City completed and adopted a General Plan Update in 2015 which guides the City’s planning and development through 2040 and, in 2021, asked EPS and other technical consultants to prepare a Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Update (DIF Update) Nexus Study.

EPS worked closely with City staff and stakeholders to oversee the comprehensive 2022 fee program update process, to develop the required technical report/ nexus study, and to present to City Council and stakeholders. This fee program was one of the first comprehensive fee programs to distinguish residential fees by residential unit size.

Technically, EPS was responsible for updating the parks and recreation, public safety, general administrative, and storm drainage facilities fees, while other consultants, including Bartle Wells Associates, completed the technical work for transportation, water, and sewer fees. As part of this work effort, EPS also worked closely with the City to develop a clear definition of existing and future growth in the City; to ensure the technical analysis was consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act, more recently adopted AB 602, and other court rulings; and to provide a comprehensive comparison of fees with neighboring and peer jurisdictions to inform City Council decisions.

Project Description: The City of Foster City, as one of the only cities in San Mateo County without development impact fees, hired EPS to produce a nexus study establishing a full suite of development impact and commercial linkage fees to help finance future capacityenhancing City projects. EPS led a consultant team that included a transportation consultant and coordinated extensively with City staff throughout the effort. Utilizing Economic & Planning Systems
22 planned capital improvement project information from City staff, EPS established defensible maximum fee levels for the categories of Parks, Public Safety, Transportation, and Affordable Housing (via the Commercial Linkage Fees), to be applied to future residential and non-residential development. EPS ensured the nexus study was compliant with the then-newly adopted AB 602 legislation. EPS assisted City staff through a range of fee implementation policy considerations, culminating in Foster City’s June 20th, 2022 City Council Meeting, in which the EPS Nexus Study was approved and adopted. The completed nexus studies can be viewed here:

Project Description: The City of Orange engaged a consultant team led by EPS and including Fehr & Peers to prepare an update of the City’s Transportation System Improvement Program (TSIP) development impact fees. The updated fees reflected several major changes to the TSIP. The original TSIP primarily funded projects improving roadway level of service, while the updated TSIP sought to serve current General Plan projections and to include VMT-reducing projects, including bicycle and pedestrian improvements, complete streets enhancements, traffic calming measures, and transit improvements. In addition, the fee update shifted the existing trip-based fee schedule to a vehicle-miles-traveled based schedule, and the overall project list was created to achieve a net reduction in VMT so that payment towards the fee program could be used as a VMT-reduction credit consistent with the City of Orange SB 743 guidelines. Finally, the TSIP fees were modified from area-based fees to citywide fees, reflecting a more holistic approach to addressing the City’s transportation needs.

The nexus study quantified the allocation of the proposed transportation improvements to new growth in the City and calculated the maximum allowable citywide fee by land use category. As part of the study process, Fehr & Peers developed a VMT-based fee schedule by combining trip generation and average trip lengths of common land-use types.

Additionally, EPS collected data on fees charged in peer cities and evaluated the economic burden of the calculated fees on new development projects relative to the City’s existing fees and those charged in peer cities. Both EPS and Fehr & Peers provided support during public hearings, facilitated discussions with the Building Industry Association to help the City reach a consensus on a fee level, and provided language to update the city ordinance. The updated TSIP was adopted by the City Council in October 2020.
