To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Lana Dich, Finance Director
Date: February 10, 2026
SUBJECT: TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025

BACKGROUND
The City’s Finance Department is responsible for managing the cash and investment portfolio for the City, Successor Agency for the Paramount Redevelopment Agency, and Paramount Housing Authority. The City’s investment policy was last adopted on June 10, 2025. The City’s investment portfolio advisors at Time Value Investments, Inc. review the City’s Investment Policy annually. The investment policy of the City of Paramount complies with the current State statutes governing the investment practices of local government entities located within the State of California. The City’s primary investment objectives are to preserve the safety of principal, maintain an adequate level of liquidity, and maximize investment income while remaining consistent with the other more important objectives.

DISCUSSION
As of December 31, 2025, the City’s portfolio totaled $75,023,764. This was composed of $18,995,940 in liquid balances and $56,027,824 in investments. For the quarter, the total interest received was approximately $510,037.

The City maintains its liquid balances mainly in either the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) or the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) account, based on the interest rate. As of this quarter, LAIF interest rose above CAMP, where LAIF averaged

4.20% and CAMP averaged 4.10%. Liquid funds were transferred from CAMP to LAIF in January to take advantage of the higher interest rate. The CAMP and LAIF accounts have similar same-day liquidity.

The investments, which include agencies, treasuries, and certificates of deposits, have a par value of $56,916,000 with an average yield of 4.18% and maturity dates ranging from one month to five years. The City’s investments are purchased and held until maturity. For the quarter ending December, there were no investment activities.

Agenda Report February 10, 2026

SUBJECT: MEDIAN ENHANCEMENTS ON ALONDRA BOULEVARD AND
ROSECRANS AVENUE (CITY PROJECT NO. 9435)

BACKGROUND
Included in the City’s Capital Improvement Budget was funding for the Median Enhancement project on Alondra Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue, which entailed converting the existing irrigation lines to reclaimed water irrigation lines (i.e., purple pipe) from the west city boundary to Orange Avenue to support grass planting. The grass planting will complement the City monument signs at these street median locations. This is one of two projects included in City Project No. 9435.

On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, the Director of Public Works opened and examined the bids for this project, and the project was awarded to Marina Landscape, Inc. for $49,500 at the City Council meeting on March 11, 2025. A 10% contingency was also approved at the time of City Council award, for a total not to exceed amount of $54,450.

DISCUSSION
The work performed under this contract has been inspected under the supervision of the Public Works Director, in conformance with Section 6-8 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction.

The project was completed on December 31, 2025 and the Notice of Completion will be filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s office after approval by the City Council.

The contract retention of $3,231.78 will be held for thirty-five (35) days from that date.

The total construction cost, including all necessary change orders, is $64,635.65.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The project was completed within the City Council approved budget, and no additional appropriations are needed.

ACT (CEQA)

BACKGROUND
Development impact fees are one-time charges on new development collected and used by cities and counties to cover costs of capital facilities and infrastructure needed to serve new residential and nonresidential growth.

The California Mitigation Fee Act, also known as AB 1600, 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. In addition, the 5th Amendment’s takings clause requires that the amount of the fee be roughly proportional to the impact caused by new development. State law, including Assembly Bill 602 (AB 602) of 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 for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service based upon growth caused by new development, and include an explanation as to 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.

Agenda Report February 10, 2026
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES PROGRAM Page 2
Additionally, the California Mitigation Fee Act requires a local agency that establishes, increases, or imposes a fee as a condition of approval of a development project to, among other things, provide a 30-day public comment period. The public review comment period began on November 14, 2025, through December 16, 2025.

In June of 2024, the City Council approved an agreement with Economic and Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to conduct a development impact fee nexus study and a commercial linkage fee study. The City’s development impact fee (or “DIF”) program has not been updated since the 1980s.

This item is a request to adopt the development impact fee nexus study for the nonaffordable housing fees, along with a commercial linkage fee nexus study, both prepared by EPS, the recommended fee schedule, and the proposed capital improvement plan.

DISCUSSION
The development impact fee nexus study and commercial linkage fee nexus study provide a thorough evaluation and update to the City’s DIF program. Staff worked closely with EPS to review the capital improvement plan (CIP) projects list to determine which projects would be included in the Development Impact Fee Capital Improvement Plan, and the approximate amount of funding needed to complete each project.

Below is a summary of the Development Impact Fee Capital Improvement Plan. As discussed later in this report, the fees generated through the DIF program will only be able to fund a portion of these capital improvements.

Existing DIF Program
The City currently has a comprehensive DIF program that generates funding to support a range of capital improvements necessitated by new growth in Paramount. The City’s current fee categories include:

1. Park Development Fee

2. Water Capital Improvement Fee

3. Storm Drain Master Plan
The nexus analysis was conducted to update the City’s existing fees, as well as to expand the fee program to include funding for improvements in the following categories: public safety, general facilities, transportation, and a commercial linkage fee to support the funding of affordable housing in the City.

Agenda Report February 10, 2026
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES PROGRAM Page 4
Proposed Fee Categories
New development in the City will increase the demand for certain public facilities and infrastructure. The DIF revenues would be collected and expended to fund the portion of these new infrastructure improvements needed to accommodate growth and maintain public service standards. Specifically, the DIF revenues calculated in the nexus study will be used to fund the following:

1. Public Safety (NEW)

2. Parks Facilities

3. General Facilities (NEW)

4. Transportation (NEW)

5. Storm Drain Facilities (REVISED - to replace Storm Drain Master Plan)

6. Water Capacity

7. Affordable Housing (through a Commercial Linkage Fee) (NEW) Summary of Proposed Development Impact Fee Schedule
The Development Impact Fee Nexus Study identifies the City’s maximum allowable development impact fee schedule for capital needs as evaluated in the Nexus Study.

While the City can adopt fees below these maximum nexus-supported levels based on policy considerations, staff is recommending accepting establishing fees at the maximum allowable fee amount across all fee categories. However, the separate Commercial Linkage Fee Nexus Study for affordable housing justifies a maximum allowable level that staff considers too high, and a much lower fee is recommended for this category. Actual recommended amounts are attached to an exhibit to the resolution.

Public Safety Development Impact Fee (NEW)
The Public Safety Development Impact Fee will fund Public Safety Department capital facilities and equipment, including recurring facilities such as vehicles and one-time facilities such as the future expansion of the Emergency Operations Center.

Land Use Maximum Fee
Residential (per sq. ft.) $0.11
Retail (per sq. ft.) $0.04
Office (per sq. ft.) $0.06
Warehouse/Industrial (per sq. ft.) $0.02
As an example, the Public Safety Development Impact Fee cost associated with the construction of a new 1,200 square foot single-family dwelling unit would be calculated in the following way:
1,200 x $0.11 = $132.00
Agenda Report February 10, 2026
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES PROGRAM Page 5
Parks Facilities Development Impact Fee (Updated)
The Parks Facilities Development Impact Fee will be used to fund park and recreation facility improvements necessary to accommodate growth. This need can include costs associated with new parkland/facilities and expansion of park facilities.

Land Use Current Fee
[1]
Maximum Fee
Residential (per sq. ft.) $0.57-0.76 $1.10
Retail (per sq. ft.) - $0.40
Office (per sq. ft.) - $0.58
Warehouse/Industrial (per sq. ft.) - $0.20
*[1] Residential fee is assessed on a per unit basis. For this comparison, it is converted to a per square foot basis As an example, the Parks Facilities Development Impact Fee cost associated with the construction of a new 1,200 square foot single-family residence would be calculated in the following way:
1,200 x $0.57 = $684 (Existing Fee)
1,200 x $1.10 = $1,332 (Updated Fee)
General Facilities Development Impact Fee (New)
The General Facilities Development Impact Fee will be used to fund general civic facilities and improvements necessary to accommodate growth. These funds can include expenditures for upgrades and expansions to civic facilities not associated with specific departments, such as City Hall and City-owned storage properties.

Land Use Maximum Fee
Residential (per sq. ft.) $0.07
Retail (per sq. ft.) $0.03
Office (per sq. ft.) $0.04
Warehouse/Industrial (per sq. ft.) $0.01
As an example, the General Facilities Development Impact Fee cost associated with the construction of a new 1,200 square foot single-family residence would be calculated in the following way:
1,200 x $0.07 = $84.00 (New)
Agenda Report February 10, 2026
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES PROGRAM Page 6
Transportation Development Impact Fee (New)
A Transportation Development Impact Fee would fund additions and improvements to the City’s transportation infrastructure to accommodate future use by new residents and workers. This fund can include expenditures for projects such as electronic message boards, capacity enhancements, and new or improved multimodal transportation pathways.

Land Use Maximum Fee
Residential (per sq. ft.) $0.54
Retail (per sq. ft.) $2.58
Office (per sq. ft.) $1.09
Warehouse/Industrial (per sq. ft.) $0.86
As an example, the Transportation Development Impact Fee cost associated with the construction of a new 1,200 square foot single-family residence would be calculated in the following way:
1,200 x $0.54 = $684.00 (New)
Storm Drain Facilities Development Impact Fee (Replaces Storm Drain Master Plan) The purpose of the existing stormwater-related fee is to fund the improvements in the stormwater drain master plan. The proposed update to the fee would replace the fee altogether with the Storm Drain Facilities Development Impact Fee to fund stormwater drainage infrastructure, equipment, and systems necessary to accommodate growth.

Infrastructure and equipment include stormwater capture facilities and equipment, and upgrades to existing facilities.

Land Use Maximum Fee
Residential (per sq. ft.) $0.48
Retail (per sq. ft.) $0.66
Office (per sq. ft.) $0.66
Warehouse/Industrial (per sq. ft.) $0.66
Agenda Report February 10, 2026
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES PROGRAM Page 7
As an example, the Storm Drain Facilities Development Impact Fee cost associated with the construction of a new 1,200 square foot single-family residence would be calculated in the following way:
1,200 x $0.48 = $576 (Updated)
Water Capacity Development Impact Fee (Updated)
A Water Capacity Development Impact Fee would recover costs of water capacity in water system infrastructure necessary to accommodate growth. Such infrastructure includes pipelines, wells, and treatments.

Unlike the other fees, the Water Capacity Development Impact Fee would be charged based on meter size, not square footage. The fee per Meter Equivalent Unit (MEU), which would be the charge for a 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch meter, is $2,096. This would be the typical charge for a single-family home. The charges for typical meter sizes are shown in the table below. This fee structure is a change from the City’s current water capacity fee, which is charged per acre based on Fire Department requirements for fire flow and duration for a given building.

Meter Size Meter Ratio Charge
5/8” 1.00 $2,096
3/4” 1.00 $2,096
1” 1.57 $3,291

1.5” 3.43 $7,189
2” 5.00 $10,480
3” 15.71 $32,928
4” 25.14 $52,693
6” 40.00 $83,840
8” 100.00 $209,600
10” 157.14 $329,365
The exception for the per meter charge for water capacity is for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) larger than 750 square feet, which would pay a fee of $1.59 per square foot. The State does not allow charges for ADUs smaller than 750 square feet.

Commercial Linkage Fee (New)
Agenda Report February 10, 2026
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES PROGRAM Page 8
In the City’s effort to assist with the development of affordable housing to meet Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements along with State law mandates, staff is proposing a Commercial Linkage Fee associated with commercial/industrial type developments. A commercial linkage fee, also known as an affordable housing fee, is a type of development impact fee charged to developers of new, nonresidential properties to help support affordable housing for lower-wage workers. For this reason, residential type developments are exempt.

The fees will be used to fund production or rehabilitation of affordable units, acquisition of land for units, or acquisition of existing at-risk units in order to accommodate housing for employment created by new commercial and industrial development in the City. The fee may also fund the studies and administration to support the fee program.

Land Use Maximum
Fee
Recommended
Maximum Fee
Retail (per sq. ft.) $288 $4
Office (per sq. ft.) $189 $4
Industrial (per sq. ft.) $96 $3
Warehousing (per sq. ft.) $51 $3
As an example, the commercial linkage impact fee cost associated with the construction of a new 10,000 square foot commercial office/retail building would be calculated in the following manner:

Office/Retail (per sq. ft.)
10,000 x $4.00 = $40,000 (New)
Although industrial and warehousing buildings may occupy larger areas than office or retail developments, they typically employ fewer workers per square feet, as much of the building space is often occupied by equipment and/or goods. Given their lower employment density, these buildings generate less need for affordable housing on a per square foot basis than businesses with higher employment density such as retail and office uses. For this reason, the commercial linkage fee assessed for industrial and warehouse projects are proposed to be set at a lower rate than that applied to office and retail buildings.

As an example, the commercial linkage impact fee cost associated with the construction of a new 10,000 sq. ft. industrial/warehouse building would be calculated in the following manner:

Agenda Report February 10, 2026
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES PROGRAM Page 9
Industrial/Warehouse (per sq. ft.)
10,000 x $3.00 = $30,000 (New)
DIF Program Overview
The proposed update to the DIF program is consistent with existing practice, and the fees calculated are proposed to be collected on a citywide basis given the broad scope of capital improvements included in the studies. ADUs that are 750 square feet or less are exempt from development impact fees.

DIF revenues would be collected and expended to fund the portion of the new infrastructure and facility improvements needed to accommodate growth and maintain public service standards. Additionally, a two percent charge has been factored into the maximum allowable fee to cover the cost of administering the fee program. Under the projected level of growth, the proposed DIF program would generate about $5.7 million in revenues through 2035, covering about 11% of the total capital improvements identified in the fee program, with the remainder covered by grants and other City funds. Revenues from fees could be higher or lower than this amount depending on the actual level of new development and other variables outside the control of local government.

Environmental Impact
The implementation of the DIFs program is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and Sections 15061,15273, and 15378 of the CEQA guidelines.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Development Impact Fees Program will generate revenue to support City infrastructure and other projects in accordance with the Capital Improvement Plan.

However, the specific revenue amounts will vary from year to year based on varying residential, commercial, and industrial development.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity, and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decisionmaking. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 5: Attractive and Well-Maintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community; and No. 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

SECTION 1. Purpose and Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. California Constitution Article XI, Section 7, enables the City of Paramount ("the City") to enact local ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws; and
B. The State of California, through the enactment of Government Code Sections 66001 through 66009, has authorized the City to enact development impact fees; and
C. The imposition of development impact fees is one of the preferred methods of ensuring that development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital facilities and related costs necessary to accommodate such development. The imposition of development impact fees must be done in order to promote and protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and D. The General Plan is comprised of elements, and the Resource Management Element includes Resource Management Element Policy 13 which states, “The City of Paramount will continue to collect park fees from all new residential development”; and
E. The Mitigation Fee/User Fee Study program of the Implementation Element of the General Plan states, “The City will continue to explore strategies to ensure that the public does not bear an undue burden associated with new development. The City will determine a reasonable fair method of assessing new development for the cost of providing any additional infrastructure required by the development”; and
F. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on this Ordinance on February 10, 2026, at which time it considered all evidence presented, both written and oral.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The above recitations are true and correct.

SECTION 2. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY AND COMMERCIAL LINKAGE FEE STUDY ADOPTED. The City Council hereby approves the Paramount Development Impact Fee Nexus Study prepared by EPS attached as Exhibit 1 and the Commercial Linkage Fee Nexus Study prepared by EPS attached as Exhibit 2 (collectively, the Nexus Studies), and the findings contained therein. The Nexus Studies shall constitute the current “Study” for each respective fee pursuant to proposed Chapter

3.40 of the Paramount Municipal Code. A copy of the Nexus Studies shall be on file with the City Clerk and available during regular City business hours for public inspection. With respect to each DIF, the Nexus Studies explain (1) the purpose of each impact fee; (2) the use of each impact fee; (3) the reasonable relationship between the use of each impact fee and the development type on which it is imposed; (4) the reasonable relationship between the need for the facilities and the type of development between the need for the type of development on which each fee is imposed; and (5) the reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and facility cost attributable to the applicable development project. The City Council agrees with the findings set forth in the Nexus Studies and adopts them as their own as if set forth in full here.

SECTION 3. ADOPTION OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. The City Council hereby adopts the City of Paramount Capital Improvement Plan as shown in the attached listing included as Appendix C to the Paramount Development Impact Fee Nexus Study.

RESOLUTION NO. 26:008

Page 4 ends

SECTION 4. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE DETERMINED AND ADOPTED. The City Council hereby adopts the development impact fee amounts for each of the DIFs as shown in Exhibit 3 to this Resolution, incorporated herein by this reference. The City of Paramount Fee Schedule shall be amended to contain the fees and amounts identified therein.

SECTION 5. ADOPTION OF METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATION, ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT, AND COLLECTION OF FEES. The City Council adopts the methodology set forth in the Nexus Studies for calculating and collecting the DIFs adopted herein. The amount of the DIFs shall be adjusted annually in July of each calendar year beginning in 2026, using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), Los AngelesLong Beach-Anaheim, published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ending in May, or a similar published index if the CPI is no longer available. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to make such annual adjustments to the DIFs based on such inflationary factors effective July 1 of each year.

SECTION 6. TIMING OF PAYMENT. All development fees shall be paid when required by the applicable provisions of the Paramount Municipal Code and in accordance with Government Code Section 66007.

SECTION 7. EFFECTIVE DATE OF DIFS. The DIF rates and new categories of DIFs set forth in this Resolution shall be effective on the later of: (i) the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective date of Ordinance No. 1212, an ordinance adding Chapter 3.40 to the Municipal Code and establishing the City’s program and requirements for the imposition of a development impact fees on development projects.

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT REPORT
NOVEMBER 13, 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 5 Introduction and Overview

1. Introduction and Overview
This Nexus Study is designed to provide the City of Paramount (City) with the necessary technical documentation to support an update of its comprehensive Development Impact Fee (DIF) program. It has been prepared by a team of consultants, including Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS), Fehr & Peers, and Bartle Wells Associates, with input and direction from City staff. EPS prepared this overall report and the nexus analysis for several fee categories; Fehr & Peers prepared the transportation impact fee nexus study; and Bartle Wells Associates prepared the water capacity nexus study.

Impact fees are one-time charges on new development collected and used by jurisdictions (e.g., a City or County) to cover the cost of capital facilities and infrastructure needed to serve new residential and nonresidential growth. The City currently has a comprehensive DIF program that generates funding to support a range of capital improvements necessitated by new growth in the City.

The City’s current fee categories include parks, storm drain, and water capacity.

This effort includes a nexus analysis to update the City’s existing fees, as well as to expand the fee program to include funding for improvements in the following categories: public safety, general facilities, and transportation. Additionally, under separate cover, EPS has provided an analysis of a potential new commercial linkage fee to support the funding of affordable housing in the City.

The Fee Program described in this Report is designed to be consistent with the most recent relevant case law and the principles of Government Code Section 66000 et seq. (subsequently referred to as AB 1600) and subsequent related legislation (including AB 602). The Report provides the nexus and associated fee calculations for the maximum fees the City can charge for the facilities indicated pursuant to AB 1600. The City can adopt fees at or below this maximum level.

Consistent with the existing practice, the fees calculated herein are proposed to be collected on a Citywide basis given the broad scope of capital improvements included in this study.

Purpose and Use of AB 1600 Fees
New development in the City will increase the demand for certain public facilities and infrastructure. The DIF revenues would be collected and expended to fund the portion of these new infrastructure and facility improvements needed to accommodate growth and maintain public service standards. Specifically, the DIF revenues calculated in this study will be used to fund:

PARAMOUNT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT REPORT
NOVEMBER 13, 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 6 Introduction and Overview • General Facilities – this fee will fund general civic facilities and improvements necessary to accommodate growth.
• Parks Facilities – this fee will fund park and recreation facility improvements necessary to accommodate growth.
• Public Safety Facilities – this fee will fund the Public Safety Department capital facilities and equipment (e.g. vehicles) necessary to accommodate growth. These costs do not include the cost of the City’s contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department to provide police services, nor does it include costs incurred by the Los Angeles County Fire Department to provide fire and EMS services.
• Storm Drain – this fee will fund stormwater drainage infrastructure and systems necessary to accommodate growth.
• Transportation – this fee will fund needed additions and improvements to the City’s transportation infrastructure to accommodate future use of transportation facilities by the new residents and workers associated with new development. These improvements include infrastructure that supports vehicle, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle modes.
• Water Capacity Charges – the water capacity charges are designed to recover the costs of capacity in water system infrastructure.

DIF Legal Context
This Report is designed to provide the necessary technical analysis to support a new schedule of fees that will be established by an update to the City’s Impact Fee Ordinance and Resolution. The City will need to approve an updated DIF Ordinance that enables the collection of fees for capital facilities, pursuant to AB 1600. As noted, AB 1600 is codified California Government Section 66000 et seq., which sets forth procedural requirements for establishing and collecting development impact fees. These procedures require that a reasonable relationship, or nexus, must exist between a governmental exaction and the purpose of the condition. Development impact fees must also meet the Nollan/ Dolan tests of “essential nexus” and “rough proportionality”.

The guiding principles that determine the structure, scope, and amount of the proposed DIF Program are as follows:
• Collected for Capital Facility and Infrastructure Improvements Only.

Development impact fee revenue will be collected and used to cover the cost of capital facilities and infrastructure that are required to serve new development in the City. Impact fee revenue will not be used to cover the

PARAMOUNT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT REPORT
NOVEMBER 13, 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 7 Introduction and Overview operation and maintenance costs of these or any other facilities and infrastructure.
• Used to Fund Facility Needs Created by New Development Rather than Existing Deficiencies. Impact fee revenues will only be used to pay for new or expanded capital facilities needed to accommodate growth. Impact fee revenue will not be collected or used to cover the cost of existing deficiencies in the City’s capital facilities or infrastructure. In other words, the cost of capital projects or facilities that are designed to meet the needs of the City’s existing population must be funded through other sources. • Fee Amount is Based on a Rational Nexus and calculated on a Proportional Basis. The impact fee amount is based on a reasonable nexus, or connection, between new development and the needs and corresponding costs of the capital facilities and improvements needed to accommodate it. The costs associated with improvements that serve the needs of both new development and the existing population and workforce are split on a “fair share” basis according to the proportion attributable to each. This ensures both a nexus between the new development and capital improvements as well as a proportional relationship between the amount of fee charged and the impact of the new development.

In September 2021, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 602, which includes several new requirements related to the development and implementation of impact fee programs. The key provisions related to the calculations documented in this Nexus Report are summarized below. • Capital Improvement Plan: AB 602 requires that impact fees be based on an approved capital improvement plan. This adoption can occur at the same time as the fee ordinance adoption. Accordingly, this Nexus Report relies on a City of Paramount Development Impact Fee Capital Improvement Plan to be approved by the City Council in conjunction with the update to the City’s DIF Program. The CIP, presented in Appendix C of this Nexus Report, is derived from the capital improvements needs identified by the City (and included in this report), and is based on existing or target levels of municipal service. • Explanation of Level of Service and Fee Increase: AB 602 requires that the nexus study provide explanations if the fee calculation is based on a change in existing levels of service. Except where otherwise noted in the report, the fee calculations contained within this Nexus Report are based on the City’s existing service standards.
• Original Nexus Study: AB 602 notes that “if a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.” The original nexus studies establishing the

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 8 Introduction and Overview City’s existing parks, storm drain, and water capacity fees are no longer available, and no other studies have taken place since the fees were established. Therefore, no comparison can be made between the assumptions underlying this Nexus Report and the original nexus studies. • Residential Fee to be Charged in Proportion to Unit Size: AB 602 requires that a nexus report adopted on or after July 1, 2022 “calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development” with the exception of water capacity fee.

A jurisdiction does not need to charge residential fees in proportion to unit size if it makes a specific set of findings. The EPS Team has calculated all fees on a per square foot basis, with the exception of water capacity. This calculation is detailed in Chapter 10.

(4) Numbers shown are illustrative; actual fees will depend on meter needs of individual projects where the water capacity fee is assessed on a per meter equivalent unit (MEU) basis. For illustrative purposes, in this table development assumptions were made to compare the water capacity fee to the other fee categories. The residential fee shown is a weighted average, assuming that among future residential units built, 35 percent will be single-family units and 65 percent will be multifamily units.

The single-family fee assumes one 3/4-inch meter per unit. The multifamily fee assumes one 2-inch meter for every 20 multifamily units. Retail and office assume two 2-inch meters for a 76,230 square foot development on 5 acres (0.35 FAR).

Industrial assumes two 2-inch meters for a 152,460 square foot development on 10 acres (0.35 FAR).

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 10 Summary of Maximum Allowable Fees These development impact fees apply to new residential and nonresidential development based on a “fair share” allocation of specified capital costs. The maximum fee estimates include a two percent program administration fee.1 Estimated DIF Revenues Through Build-out
Table 2 provides an estimate of the potential total funding generated by the maximum allowable DIF program through buildout, excluding the Water Capacity Fee. These revenue projections are based on growth projections described in Chapter 3 of this Report. As shown, under the projected level of growth, the proposed DIF program would generate about $5.7 million in revenues to cover about 11 percent of the total capital improvements identified in the fee program.

The City will need to find other sources of revenue to cover the remaining costs, such as grant funding and revenues from other City funds. Revenues from fees could be higher or lower than this amount depending on the actual level of new development.

Table 2 Revenue Projections and Need for Outside Funding 1 The administration fee is designed to cover expenses for preparation of the development impact fee and subsequent updates as well as the required reporting, auditing, collection and other annual administrative costs involved in overseeing the program. This is a typical administration fee level used in many cities throughout the State.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 11 Summary of Methodology and Key Assumptions

3. Summary of Methodology and Key
Assumptions
This section provides a brief overview of the nexus methodology, the key assumptions, and the approach for allocating future capital facility needs between new and existing development and by land use category. It also summarizes the demographic and land use projections underlying the fee. Subsequent chapters provide more detailed calculations for each fee category.

Summary of Methodology
While the nexus methodology employed in this study varies by fee category as appropriate given the range of capital facilities and improvements covered, there are a number of basic steps common to all. Specifically, for each fee category, EPS has applied the following general steps to calculate the nexus-supported fee amounts:

1. The EPS consultant team established an estimate of existing and future population and employment in Paramount through 2035 using a variety of sources, as described in the subsequent section.

2. The EPS consultant team worked with City staff to identify new infrastructure and capital facility improvements needed to serve both existing and future residents and employees.

3. City staff provided cost estimates for the capital facility estimates described in Step 2 above.

4. EPS allocated the capital facility costs identified in step 3 above between existing and new development to determine the share included in the fee program. These allocation shares were determined in a variety of ways, dependent on the given improvement, available data, and City guidance. In some cases where the need for the facility or improvement is entirely triggered by new development, the costs are allocated 100 percent to the fee program. In cases where the improvement is expected to serve both the existing population and the future population equally, the share of costs attributable to new development are based on the City’s current versus future service population. These cost allocation assumptions are documented in subsequent sections.

5. Once costs have been allocated between new and existing development, they are further distributed among residential and nonresidential uses. This process is dependent on facility or improvement type and the associated service

PARAMOUNT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT REPORT
NOVEMBER 13, 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 12 Summary of Methodology and Key Assumptions population. For many improvements, costs are distributed based on ratios of residents to employees in the horizon year (as described further below).

6. Once costs are allocated to residential and nonresidential uses, each cost category is divided by the total residential or employment population to arrive at a “cost per resident” or “cost per employee”. The cost per person is multiplied by the people per household or trip rate factor for each residential fee category or by the employment density or trip rate factor for each nonresidential fee category.

7. For residential fees, EPS estimated the average unit size for future residential units based on recent trends in the City and surrounding area. The fee per unit calculated in step 6 is divided by the average unit size to calculate a fee per square foot for residential uses, as required by AB 602. This conversion is not required or made for water capacity fees.

8. A two percent charge is added to the fee to cover the cost of administering the fee program. The fee plus the two percent administration charge determines the maximum fee amount by land use. The administration charge is factored into the maximum allowable fee summary in Table 1, but is not calculated in the department-specific fee calculation tables found in the report sections below.

Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
This section describes the demographic and land use assumptions utilized in this study for both existing and future year conditions (i.e., in 2035). The estimates are used for the following primary purposes in the fee calculation:
• Estimates of existing population and employment levels are used to set the baseline of existing needs relative to existing standards. • Estimates of future population and employment growth in the City are the basis for determining the future need for capital facilities which can be appropriately funded by the fee.
• Estimates related to population and employment density (e.g., persons per household, square feet per employee) are used to allocate costs between land use categories.

Service Population Factor
The DIF is largely predicated on calculations that translate the population and employment projections (provided in the following section) into estimates of existing and future “service populations.” The “service population,” in turn, is derived from assumptions that compare residents and employees based on the

PARAMOUNT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY

PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT REPORT
NOVEMBER 13, 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 13 Summary of Methodology and Key Assumptions relative service demands or typical service profiles of each, as further described in the following chapters.

While the service population characterization can differ by infrastructure category, for the purposes of this study EPS has relied upon a default service population calculation that assumes the impact of employees on capital facilities is approximately half (or 50 percent) of the impact of residents. The exception is for transportation, where residents and employees are assumed to have equivalent impacts on infrastructure.

Population and Employment Growth Projections
This fee study relies on estimates of projected growth in the resident and employee population likely to occur by 2035. The consultant team used 2023 American Community Survey (ACS) data to establish existing population and employment count. Future growth through 2035 was established using the 2024 Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Model. The SCAG RTP growth was supplemented with assumptions regarding growth in two Specific Plan areas in the City—the North Paramount Gateway Specific Plan and the Clearwater Specific Plan—as projected growth in these areas was not reflected in the RTP Model. The projected growth in population and employment is summarized in Table 3.

Table 3 Growth Projections for Paramount Through 2035
As summarized in Table 3, the City is projected to see growth of approximately 6,150 people in residential population and 1,350 in total jobs, representing a 12 percent and six percent increase over existing conditions, respectively.

Applying the resident equivalency factor described above, the City has a total service population of 62,322, shown in Table 4. At buildout, the service population is projected to grow by 6,830 to 69,162, with this new growth accounting for about 9.9 percent of the total future service population. New residents are estimated to account for approximately 90 percent of the growth in Category 2023 2035 Growth

4. Public Safety Facilities
This Chapter describes the technical methodology for calculating fees for Public Safety Facilities. It is assumed that both residential and nonresidential development will pay the Public Safety fees.

Capital Needs and Costs
The costs associated with public safety activities fall into two categories: recurring facilities and one-time need facilities. Recurring facilities include new vehicles needed to maintain the Public Safety Department’s current level of service to new population, as well as the replacement of these vehicles based on a typical lifecycle. The total cost of new public safety vehicles is based on the replacement schedule of existing public safety vehicles as provided by the City. Specifically, the City leases its public safety vehicles on five-year terms. These new vehicle costs are allocated 100 percent to new development, as they are triggered directly by growth.

The Public Safety Department also provided estimated costs for expansion of its Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Since the EOC will serve both the existing and new service population, the total cost for the facilities is allocated in a fair share proportion to both the existing and new service population, as calculated in Table 4.

The cost estimates for the above items attributable to new growth are summarized in Table 6 and sum to approximately $274,000.

Relationship between Use of Fee and Type of Development Development of new residential and nonresidential land uses in the City will generate a need for additional public safety personnel, facilities, and vehicles. The fee will be used to develop and expand the user capacity for public safety facilities and to acquire vehicles to serve new users from residential and nonresidential development.

Relationship between Need for Facility and Type of Project Each new residential and nonresidential development project will generate additional demand for public safety services and personnel. Additional public safety personnel will be housed in future public safety facilities and will require associated vehicles to serve additional demand generated by new residents and employees.

Relationship between Amount of Fee and Cost of or Portion of Facility Attributed to New Development
The amount of public safety facilities needed by each land use has been estimated by applying the public safety facility cost per persons served for each land use.

The common use factor for residential land uses is the number of persons per household for residential land uses. The common use factor for nonresidential land uses is based on the number of employees generated per 1,000 square feet for commercial, office, and industrial development and on the ratio of public safety demand for an employed resident as compared to a non-employed resident.

5. Parks Facilities
This Chapter describes the technical methodology for the Parks Facilities fees, which includes parks and recreation facilities. It is assumed that both residential and nonresidential development will pay Parks Facilities fees.

Capital Needs and Costs
The capital needs and costs associated with parks facilities fall into two categories: new parkland/facilities and expansion of existing parks facilities.

Table 8 shows the inventory of existing parks and recreation facilities based on information contained in the City’s recently-adopted Parks Master Plan. It also calculates the department’s existing level of service, presented as acres per 1,000 people in the service population. As shown, the City currently operates approximately 60 acres of parkland, yielding a service level of 1.0 acres per 1,000 service population. If this level is applied to the projected growth in service population, an additional 6.64 acres of parkland would be required to maintain the City’s existing parks service level at buildout.

Table 8 Paramount Existing Park Inventory and Level of Service Given this calculation, the parks fee can be based on the cost to acquire and improve an additional 6.64 acres of parkland. Among the list of anticipated parks improvements provided by the Community Services Department, the City has identified two projects that would involve the planning and construction of new Facility / Park

7. Storm Drain
This Chapter describes the technical methodology for calculating fees for Storm Drain Facilities. It is assumed that both residential and nonresidential development will pay the Storm Drain fees.

Growth Assumptions
Since the need for storm drain facilities is associated with growth in impervious surface as opposed to growth in population, EPS utilized distinct growth assumptions to determine the allocation of future facility costs to new development. In order to estimate growth in impervious surface that would result from projected new development detailed in Table 3, EPS collected data on existing housing units and commercial square footage in the City, as well as average existing density for housing units and floor-to-area ratio for commercial space. This data was used to estimate the number of currently developed acres in the City. EPS then applied an impervious surface factor for residential and commercial uses, utilizing data from the California State Water Resources Control Board.2 This calculation results in an estimate of impervious surface currently developed in the City.

To calculate growth in impervious surface, EPS converted growth in residents and employees into growth in housing units and commercial space, using the density assumptions detailed in Table 5. Estimated densities for future housing and commercial space was applied to these growth projections in order to estimate growth in developed acres, and the same impervious factors were applied to estimate growth in impervious surface. As shown in Table 13, these calculations suggest that new development will result in a 4.9 percent growth in impervious surface in the City through 2035.

The following chapter provides a summary of the improvement needs, cost allocations, and fee levels for the Transportation Fee. A detailed technical memorandum on the methodology used to calculate the Transportation Fee is included in Appendix A.

Improvement Needs and Costs
Fehr & Peers worked with City staff to identify the transportation improvement needs and costs required to serve both existing and future residents. Table 16 below shows the project cost estimation for transportation infrastructure improvements.

The cost of improvement is determined by referencing recent costs and adjusting for factors such as construction materials, labor, environmental compliance, and projectspecific contingencies.

Table 16 Transportation Improvement Project List and Cost Estimates Cost Allocations and Technical Analysis
The allocation of transportation improvement costs to new growth is based on vehicle trips generated and projected vehicle miles traveled. To calculate fair share for nonresidential uses, Fehr & Peers used Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) trip rates to normalize the impacts for autos and trucks. For retail and restaurant uses a 30% pass-by trip reduction is considered to account for existing activities. Table 17 shows the summary trip rates.

10. AB 602 Compliance
The updated fee calculations have followed the new requirements of AB 602 in addition to the preexisting requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. This chapter describes how the analysis complies with key sections of AB 602. There are other compliance components related to implementation and administration of the fee program (such as posting program-related documents online) that the City will oversee.

Capital Improvement Plan
AB 602 requires that jurisdictions adopt a capital improvement plan (CIP) as part of the nexus report process, to identify improvements that will contribute toward expanding the City’s infrastructure capacity in order to serve new residents.

Accordingly, this Report relies on the CIP presented in Appendix C, which was developed by City staff and summarized in the preceding chapters. AB 602 does not apply to water capacity charges, and as such water system costs associated with the Water Capacity Fee are not included in the CIP. The City will adopt the Development Impact Fee CIP at the same time as the fee ordinance adoption through a resolution.

A key purpose of the CIP is to indicate the types of improvements that will be funded in part by the fee program. As shown, the CIP includes a total investment of approximately $52.5 million through 2035. As shown in Table 2 above, the updated impact fees are estimated to generate approximately $5.7 million in funding to support the listed improvements, although the actual revenue collected from the impact fee is uncertain and will depend on the level of new development in the City.

Therefore, as is common, impact fee revenue will only fund a portion of the City’s overall improvement program. The City will identify additional funding sources to support these improvements, which may include other City revenues and grants.

Explanation of Level of Service
AB 602 requires that the nexus reports indicate whether the fee calculation is based on existing levels of service or on different levels of service, and to provide an explanation if the latter. As demonstrated throughout this Report, the calculated fees reflect the cost of maintaining the City’s existing level of service for each infrastructure category as new growth occurs.

Original Nexus Study
AB 602 states that “if a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.” Of the fees included in this Study, only the Parks, Storm Drain, and Water Capital fees are

updates to existing fees adopted by the City. The remaining fee categories are new fees being adopted by the City.

At the time of this Report, the original nexus studies conducted for the existing fee categories were not available. Given that all three fees were adopted prior to 1989 and have not been formally updated in the interim, it is reasonable to assume that the cost estimates utilized to set the original fees are no longer applicable and that an increase in the fee amounts is to be expected as part of an update that reflects present-day cost conditions.

Residential Fee to be Charged in Proportion to Unit Size AB 602 requires that a nexus report adopted on or after July 1, 2022 “calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development.” The following section details the steps taken to convert the per unit residential fees provided in the previous chapters to a fee that is charged proportionally based on housing unit sizes.

1. Average Square Feet for Residential Units: EPS reviewed data provided by the City on recent single-family residential projects permitted in the City, as well as data on multifamily projects built in neighboring cities over the past ten years, to determine average unit size for both single-family and multifamily building units. This calculation resulted in projected average net unit sizes of approximately 1,900 square feet for new single-family units and 1,000 square feet for new multifamily units.

Based on discussions with the City, it was determined that a single fee would be established for all residential unit types, including accessory dwelling units (ADU) over 750 square feet.3 The City projects that among future residential units built, 35 percent will be single-family units and 65 percent will be multifamily units. EPS calculated a weighted average of the average unit sizes based on these proportions.

The resulting estimated average size for residential units in the City is approximately 1,315 square feet (1,900*.35 + 1,000*.65 = 1,315).

2. Fee Per Square Foot: The fee calculations in the preceding chapters include per residential unit fees for each fee category. The fee per unit is calculated as the cost of future facility needs per resident multiplied by the average household size of 3.6 persons.
3 Assembly Bill (AB) 68 states that local agencies may not impose impact fees on the development of accessory dwelling units less than 750 square feet. It further states that impact fees charged on accessory dwelling units 750 square feet and larger must be “charged proportionally in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.” Since the impact fees calculated in this Report will be charged on a per square foot basis, the fee charged to ADUs 750 square feet and larger will be proportional to the fee that would be charged to the primary dwelling unit based on size of unit.

As shown in Table 21, the average per unit fee for each category is divided by the average unit size to determine a maximum justifiable fee per square foot for each fee category.

Table 21 Residential Fee Per Square Foot
The variations in fee level by unit size will make development costs relatively lower for smaller units than larger units, encouraging the development of smaller units. This financial incentive will complement other trends and policies supporting the development of smaller units. For example, as stated above, the City expects the majority of new housing units built will be multifamily units, particularly in the City’s Specific Plan Areas.

Assumes that the average singlefamily unit is 1,900 sq.ft. and the average multifamily unit is 1000 sq.ft.
(2) Numbers shown are illustrative; actual fees will depend on meter needs of individual projects where the water capacity fee is assessed on a per meter equivalent unit (MEU) basis. For illustrative purposes, in this table development assumptions were made to compare the water capacity fee to the other fee categories. The residential fee shown is a weighted average, assuming that among future residential units built, 35 percent will be single-family units and 65 percent will be multifamily units. The single-family fee assumes one 3/4-inch meter per unit. The multifamily fee assumes one 2-inch meter for every 20 multifamily units.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 40 Implementation and Administration

11. Implementation and Administration
The proposed Development Impact Fee Program is anticipated to be adopted by the City of Paramount through an enabling Ordinance. The City will also adopt an Resolution approving this Nexus Report and the Development Impact Fee CIP and establishing the updated fee amounts.

AB 1600 and AB 602 outline several implementation/ administration procedures for impact fee programs. This section highlights four of these procedures: publication of fee information online, the annual fee review, the five-year report, and eight-year comprehensive update.

Publication of Financial and Zoning Information
Assembly Bill (AB) 1483 requires all cities, counties, and special districts with a website to make the following information available online, if applicable:
• The current schedule of fees, exactions, and affordability requirements imposed by the city, county, or special district (including any dependent special district), applicable to a proposed housing development project. The schedule must be presented in a way that clearly identifies the fees and requirements that apply to each parcel.
• All zoning ordinances and design and development standards for each parcel. • The current and five previous annual fee or financial reports. • An archive of impact fee nexus studies, cost of service studies, or equivalent, conducted by the city, county, or special district on or after January 1, 2018.

The above information must also be updated within thirty days of any changes.

Annual Review
This Report and the technical information contained herein should be maintained and reviewed periodically by the City as necessary to ensure alignment of capital needs and new development and to enable the adequate programming of funding sources.

To the extent that capital needs, improvement requirements, or costs change over time, the Fee Program may need to be updated. Specifically, AB 1600 (at Gov. Code §§ 66001(c), 66006(b)(1)) stipulates that each local agency that requires payment of a fee make specific information available to the public annually within 180 days of the last day of the fiscal year:
• A description of the type of fee in the account.
• The amount of the fee.
• The beginning and ending balance of the fund.
• The amount of fees collected, and interest earned.
• Identification of the improvements constructed.

PARAMOUNT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY

DRAFT REPORT
NOVEMBER 13, 2025
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 41 Implementation and Administration • The total cost of the improvements constructed.
• The fees expended to construct the improvement.
• The percentage of total costs funded by the fee.
• The approximate date for construction of the improvement.

Assembly Bill (AB) 516 additionally requires reports to include the following information:
• Identification of each public improvement identified in the previous report, and whether construction began on the approximate date noted • For previously identified projects that did not start construction on the approximate date identified in the prior report, a reason for the delay and a revised approximate construction start date
• For any refunds made, the number of persons or entities identified to receive those refunds
Because of the dynamic nature of growth and infrastructure requirements, and the additional requirements of AB 516, the City should monitor development activity, the need for improvements, and the adequacy of the fee revenues and other available funding. Formal annual review of the fee program should occur, at which time adjustments should be made as necessary.

Annually, the City should update the its fee program to reflect inflation and other factors that affect the costs of projects in the fee program. The annual adjustment will be based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Five-Year Report
Updated fees will be collected from new development within the City once the updated Ordinance or Resolution takes effect. The use of these funds, however, may need to wait until a sufficient fund balance can be accrued. According to Government Code Section 66006, the City is required to deposit, invest, account for, and expend the fees in a prescribed manner. The fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the Fee account or fund, and every five years thereafter, the City is required to make all of the following findings with respect to that portion of the account or fund remaining unexpended:
• Identify the purpose for which the fee is to be put;
• Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged;
• Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements; and
• Designate the approximate dates on that the funding referred to in the above paragraph is expected to be deposited in the appropriate account or fund.

What is the Citywide Transportation Development Impact Fee? The Transportation Development Impact Fee Program (“DIF Program”) or (“Fee(s)”) is a type of development impact fee created to address the impacts of new residents and workers utilizing transportation-related infrastructure, (e.g., roads, intersections, bridges) and facilities that serve transit, pedestrians and/or non-motorized vehicles (e.g., trails, bike lanes, sidewalks). The DIF Program is established such that new development and redevelopment projects will pay their “fair share” toward new and expanded transportation infrastructure and facilities that mitigate the impacts caused by this growth.

Who pays the Fees?
Fees are paid for by applicants of land use development and redevelopment projects—including, but not limited to, residential, office, retail, and industrial uses.

How are the Fees calculated?
The Fees are calculated based on the Nexus Study presented here, prepared per the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. Fees established herein follow the fundamental legal tenets of having an essential nexus (relationship) and being roughly proportional to the impacts which the fee is designed to mitigate.

The relationship is drawn between transportation related impacts of future development, and the transportation infrastructure improvements that development will require to support the increased City of Paramount

Nexus Study
2 demand—improvements such as roadway expansion and non-motorized transportation facilities. The costs associated with the identified improvements are then proportionally related to future development, quantified by the magnitude of anticipated impacts. As the DIF Program is a type of development impact fee program, it is designed to account for the impacts of future developments and does not address existing deficiencies. Specifically, fee programs cannot charge new development to fix existing deficiencies and, as such, this study identifies whether there are existing deficiencies in the system so that the cost to fix those deficiencies is not burdened onto future development. One common example of this relationship is related to providing added roadway capacity where a segment or intersection is already not operating at the city’s defined acceptable threshold. In this instance, the full cost of the improvement cannot be burdened onto new development, which can only be burdened with their “fair share” of the cost of the improvement.

How are Fees assessed?
Fees are assessed based on the anticipated impact of new developments on the transportation infrastructure, calculated using trip rates that reflect expected trip generation by land use type, accounting for impacts of both autos and trucks. Assessed fees are proportional to the development's estimated increase to transportation demand, with different land use categories, such as residential, commercial, and industrial, assigned appropriate rates based on their impact. The fee calculation process involves identifying the project’s land use type, applying the appropriate adjusted trip rate, and calculating fees based on the maximum allowable and adopted fee schedule. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66016.5(a)(5)(A), residential fees, although initially estimated using dwelling units provided by the local General Plan, are then converted to a per square foot fee rather than a per dwelling unit basis. 2 Introduction
Nexus Study Scope
This Transportation Impact Fee Program Nexus Study (“Nexus Study” or “Study”) provides the technical documentation to support the City of Paramount’s (“City”) update of the DIF Program by defining the relevant geographic boundaries, the types of development projects to which the Fee is imposed, and the types of transportation infrastructure to be funded by the DIF Program. The DIF Program will fund infrastructure improvements throughout the City, to support its growth by evaluating the current growth estimates, infrastructure needs, construction costs, and the associated fee basis.

The Nexus Study provides the basis for the City to collect fees consistent with the California Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600/Government Code 66000 et seq.). This analysis also demonstrates that the Fees established have a reasonable relationship based on the needs, benefits, and proportionality to the impacts which the Fee is designed to mitigate.

Regulatory Context
California Government Code
California Government Code §§ 66000-66025, often referred to as the Mitigation Fee Act, governs how local governments can impose development impact fees. This legislation ensures that such fees are both legally defensible and equitable. The Mitigation Fee Act allows the City to adopt an ordinance establishing the legal authority that enables the fee and defines the program structure. The fee program typically is updated every 5 to 8 years. These updates allow the program to incorporate new projects, reflect changes in costs, and account for future growth.

City of Paramount
Transportation Development Impact Fee Program
Nexus Study
4 In establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition for the approval of a development project, 1 Government Code §§ 66001(a) and (b) state that the local agency must:
• Identify the purpose of the fee.
• Identify how the fee is to be used.
• Determine a reasonable relationship between the fee established and the type of development project for which the fee is imposed.
• Determine how the need for the public facility relates to the type of development project for which the fee is imposed.
• Demonstrate the relationship between the fee and the cost of the public facility.

Once the DIF Program is adopted, this Nexus Study and the technical information it contains will be maintained and reviewed periodically by the City to ensure Fee accuracy and to enable the adequate programming of funding sources. To the extent that transportation improvement requirements, costs, and development potential changes over time, the DIF program will need to be updated.

California Assembly Bill 602
Effective January 1, 2022, AB 602 requires that impact fees levied on residential development must be calculated such that they are proportional to the square footage of future units. A nexus study must evaluate how existing and future residential development can be estimated by residential square feet, or document why the use of residential square feet is not relevant in the case that it would not appropriately reflect the relationship between the fee, facility demand, and residential land use. Importantly, the legislation specifies that only Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) of 750 square feet or less are exempt from development impact fees, larger ADUS are subject to the fee program per square feet basis.

Effective July 1, 2022, AB 602 also mandates that large jurisdictions2 adopting a nexus study shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study. At the time of this Study’s development, the residential population within the County of Los Angeles is approximately 9.76 million3 and thus, a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is required as a part of this Study. The City of Paramount updates and publishes their Capital Improvement Plan as part of the annual citywide budgeting procedure, and the latest 1 Development includes any land use activity that involves construction of residential, commercial, industrial, office, or other non-residential improvements which requires the issuance of a building permit. Such improvements are generally expected to create additional impacts to the City’s transportation infrastructure once completed through additional travel demand associated with the proposed use. 2 As defined in Section 53559.1 of the Health and Safety Code, “Large jurisdiction” means a county with a population of more than 250,000, or any city within that county.

documentation can be found on the City’s website4. Further, the City has prepared a draft amendment to the Capital Improvement Plan (as incorporated into the Major Project's Program) to be considered as part of the establishment of fees under the DIF program. The amendment is available for review under separate cover.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
CEQA impact considerations do not apply to fee programs, as these programs function solely as government funding mechanisms and do not entail a commitment to specific projects that could cause significant physical environmental impacts. As such, they are not considered "projects" under CEQA.

However, for capital improvement projects funded by the DIF or other sources, the appropriate environmental documentation must be completed prior to construction—unless the project is determined to be exempt from CEQA5.

Methodology
Data Collection
This Study utilized data from various citywide planning documents, including the Paramount General Plan, North Paramount Gateway Specific Plan, Clearwater Specific Plan, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) cost estimates and records, and publicly available United States Census Data and American Community Survey (ACS) Estimates.

Cost Estimation
The cost estimation for transportation infrastructure improvements is prepared by City of Paramount. For each type of infrastructure—such as roadway lane miles, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and trail facilities—the cost of improvement is determined by referencing recent costs and adjusting for factors such as construction materials, labor, environmental compliance, and project-specific contingencies. The project list and cost estimates are listed in Table 1.

The maximum allowable fee is calculated using the following steps:

1. Identify total program costs – cost for improvements, plus cost for implementation

2. Account for known funding (current fund balance) and fee credits (amount to be subtracted from fund balance due to outstanding obligations, such as improvement reimbursement programs discussed in later sections of this Study)

3. Account for existing deficiencies

4. Account for administrative fees

5. Determine proportional allocation of cost to new development Other DIF Considerations
• While the Study establishes a justified maximum fee based on proportional costs of infrastructure improvements for new development, the City Council retains the authority to adopt transportation impact fees lower than the maximum allowable amounts calculated in the Nexus Study. This flexibility allows the Council to balance the need for infrastructure funding with considerations such as encouraging development or addressing affordability concerns, while still maintaining compliance with the California Mitigation Fee Act. • The fee program is designed specifically to address transportation infrastructure needs generated by new development and does not cover the cost of remedying existing deficiencies in the system. Under the California Mitigation Fee Act, impact fees can only be used to fund improvements proportionate to the impacts of future development. As a result, any existing deficiencies, such as under-capacity roads or outdated infrastructure, must be addressed through alternative funding sources.

Summary of Findings
The findings of this Study support the implementation of a transportation development impact fee program through the following steps:
• Identify the purpose of the fee

Purpose of Impact Fee Program
An impact fee program is often utilized to ensure that new developments contribute to the cost of public infrastructure that are proportional to the additional demand created by the development projects. As cities grow, new residential, commercial, and industrial projects increase the burden on the existing transportation networks. Without an impact fee program, the financial burden of accommodating this growth would fall disproportionately on existing residents, who would be forced to subsidize the infrastructure needs caused by new development.

In the last decade, the City experienced growth in jobs with a slight decline in population. 6 The City's
General Plan envisions population, and employment increases through 2035 and lays out a comprehensive vision that relies on well-maintained and effective infrastructure. The DIF Program is essential to securing sufficient funding for new and expanded facilities that are necessitated by new development.

Existing Service Population and Transportation Facilities The City serves an existing population of approximately 51,070 residents and 22,500 employees. This diverse and growing population places significant demands on the city's infrastructure, public services, 6 Number of residents decreased between 2013 and 2023 from an estimate of 54,750 to 51,070, number of employees increased from an estimate of 20,500 to 22,500.

and amenities. Besides roadways, trails, bike lanes, and sidewalks, the City has a wide range and variety of transportation facilities that serve the population of the City. Some aspects of improvements to these types of infrastructure are difficult to measure tangibly—factors such as safety, comfort, equity, and access to the system. However, all these factors are crucial to the viability of an effective transportation system.

Infrastructure such as traffic management systems, access to regional transit systems, and a multimodal transportation network to support active and healthy mobility are all vital elements of a system able to foster sustainable development.

Development Trends
What types of existing and new development are occurring, and are there geographic differences that might affect the need for facilities and associated fees charged to certain types of development in an area?
Land use growth and new development require the support of transportation infrastructure. It is imperative to estimate the amount of new development expected to take place within the planning horizon, and the additional transportation facilities that would be required to prevent overburdening the existing service population (residents and employment) with the cost of new improvements. The City’s General Plan anticipates that between 2023 and 2035 the number of households will grow by nearly 1,300, leading to an estimated increase of nearly 6,152 residents by buildout of the General Plan (Table 2). One trend that should be noted is the increasing proportion of households with fewer residents, as families are having fewer children. The estimate of future households is the best available information used to estimate the number of future dwelling units, which are expected to have fewer residents per household in 2035 than they do today. The number of employees is also expected to grow by nearly 1,400 across various industries including manufacturing, education, and office, amongst the highest growing sectors.

Although development projects will take place in specific parcels across the city, the City’s transportation network is designed to serve all areas. However, improvements in a specific area tend to benefit development within that area more than development in a different area of the city. To that end, and to ensure that there is a localized nexus between new development and improvements needed to serve that City of Paramount

10 new development, the geographic composition of growth areas have a relationship with proposed projects for local benefits. Based on the SCAG 2024 RTP/SCS, the population and employment growth are distributed across various parts of the city. While growth would not occur uniformly across all Census Blocks of the City, the estimated changes in population and employment growth point to increased demand throughout the City for additional transportation infrastructure.

Infrastructure Improvements
Facility Standards
Establishing an appropriate facility standard is crucial for ensuring that the future inventory of transportation infrastructure in Paramount meets the demands of new development, while still aligning with the City's long-term goals. The following standards are derived from the City's adopted policies and standards.

Complete Streets Standards – The General Plan includes support for encouraging improvements that encourage active transportation modes, designed to safely and efficiently accommodate all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and transit riders. Paired with the City’s Active Transportation Plan, multimodal elements such as mixed-use trails, bike lanes, sidewalks, and connections to transit will be integrated as a critical component of the transportation network. This ensures that new developments contribute their fair share to a transportation system that is inclusive and accessible to all residents, by mitigating increased demand for mobility generated by new development within the City. In addition, the Health and Safety Element discusses the need to incorporate resiliency into city plans, while the Active Transportation Plan provides guidance for implementing specific projects that promote complete streets and alternative modes of travel. Furthermore, the City Council has adopted a resolution in support of complete streets.

Roadway Capacity and Quality – Maintaining efficient traffic flow and safety is a goal in the General Plan, especially on arterial roadways, with policies aimed at improving roadways and minimizing cutthrough traffic or other impacts to local streets. To address this, the circulation element, known as the Transportation Element in the Paramount General Plan, identifies a sliding impact scale for transportation facilities operating at a Level of Service (LOS) C, D, E, or F7 This sliding scale describes the amount of traffic that can be added before triggering a local deficiency, which would then require that new developments include improvement to handle the increased traffic they generate. This standard ensures that the road infrastructure remains functional as the city grows. The following information related to 7 Level of Service (LOS) is a measure of roadway and intersection performance, graded from A (free-flow, minimal delay) to F (severe congestion, high delay).

City of Paramount DIF Nexus Study 11
roadway facilities supports and helps to validate the rough proportionality of the program and how it relates to new development.

Transportation Project List and Estimated Costs
Based on the projected increases in service population between existing year and the Impact Fee horizon year of 2035, accommodating future development would require additional transportation infrastructure that can serve various modes of travel between land uses, within the City, and connecting to regional freeways. Multimodal transit infrastructure can help maintain access, facilitate economic development, and help realize City goals associated with alternative forms of transportation, reducing greenhouse gases, and enhancing resiliency and sustainability of the transportation system. The projected need for transportation facilities is calculated in proportion to the amount of growth in service population anticipated over the horizon of the DIF, while accounting for funds that have already been collected for these projects. A description of each project follows Table 3.

These transportation network improvements are identified based on the City’s General Plan, Active Transportation Plan, and Climate Action Plan (adopted 2021) goals to ensure efficient traffic circulation across the city and access to multi-modal transportation network. The new development would pay their fair share of the projects. The fair share is calculated based on expected growth as described in (Table 2).

There are four projects identified for funding through the DIF Program:
8 The need for the extra capacity and operational improvements is created by the additional traffic generated by future development. The existing roadway can serve current demand but added roadway and intersection capacity is required to accommodate growth and prevent congestion. Accordingly, the full project cost is allocated to new development.

12 • Alondra Boulevard Capacity Enhancements – the City Council approved initiating design and environmental clearance work for the Alondra Boulevard Capacity Enhancement Improvements Project from Hunsaker Avenue (west city-limit) to Lakewood Boulevard (east city-limit). The project is intended to accommodate new growth and reduce the potential for cut-through traffic within local neighborhoods. The proposed capacity enhancement improvements consist of roadway and intersection widening, median modifications, parkway narrowing, undergrounding of existing overhead utilities, ADA sidewalk and curb ramp improvements, green streets improvements, and traffic signal modifications. The fee program includes this suite of projects to reduce the potential impacts of development on Alondra Boulevard. This is consistent with Transportation Element Policy 3 where the City “…will continue to develop and enhance the existing streets and intersections in the City.”
• WSAB Bikeway Phase 3 – the City is pursuing construction of the West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Bikeway Class I bicycle and pedestrian trail along the railroad right-of-way that runs diagonally across the City. The approximately 2.3 mile trail would connect users from the Los Angeles River to the San Gabriel River through the cities of Paramount and Bellflower. Phase 3 of this project, from Paramount Boulevard to Garfield Avenue, includes bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements including fencing, energy efficient LED pedestrian lighting, landscaping, decomposed granite, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps, at-grade pedestrian/cyclist crossing, and street furniture for trail users. This is consistent with Transportation Element Policy 11, related to alternative forms of transportation where the “City of Paramount will continue to support the local public transit system and ongoing efforts to improve connections with other regional transit facilities.”
• West Paramount Utility Easement Multi-use Path – The City identified this project in the Active Transportation Plan. The project would install a dedicated bike and pedestrian trail along the Southern California Edison easement from north of Salud Park to the West Santa Ana Branch Bikeway Phase 4, just south of the 105 freeway. This is consistent with Transportation Element Policy 11 related to alternative forms of transportation where the “City of Paramount will continue to support the local public transit system and ongoing efforts to improve connections with other regional transit facilities.”
• Electronic Message Boards – as new development occurs additional vehicle activity on local roadways will increase the number of vehicles that cross active railroad tracks. To proactively prevent additional collisions arising from new development and increased activity, a series of electronic message boards will be installed throughout the City. In the first phase, the electronic message boards will alert commuters on Downey Avenue of cargo train crossings and delays.

DIF projects and associated program cost estimates are provided in Table 3. Project cost estimates were provided by the City of Paramount based on quantities, unit cost estimates, and preliminary design activities completed by the city. The city’s planned development is infill in nature, and consistent with the goals and policies outlined in the General Plan. Additionally, the new facilities delivered by this fee program meet the requirement for rough proportionality, as the estimated percent contribution to three City of Paramount DIF Nexus Study 13
of the four projects is capped at 10.2%, which is directly tied to the projected increase in service population by 2035 in the City of Paramount.

Cost Estimating Assumptions
Cost estimates for transportation improvements are referenced from the latest available and relevant cost records. The cost to construct each improvement is calculated as an average of project costs with similar scopes and adjusted to account for forecasted future costs of environmental procedures, engineering design, and contingency. Future updates to the DIF Program should also index costs to an industry standard (typically the Caltrans Construction Contract Cost Index) and adjust the fee schedule annually to ensure that the program maintains consistency with what actual costs are to deliver the program accordingly.

Cost for Program Administration
The DIF Program includes an administrative fee equal to 2% of the total project cost. This is in line with representative implementation costs as specified in the Nexus Study and Residential Feasibility Calculation Templates in fulfillment of AB 602 report prepared by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley for the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Existing Deficiencies
Existing deficiencies refer to the gaps or inadequacies in current infrastructure or facilities that prevent them from meeting the desired service levels or standards. In the context of capacity-based projects— such as roadway widening—identifying and accounting for existing deficiencies is critical because these projects are often intended to enhance the ability of the infrastructure to accommodate current and future traffic volumes; or, in more simple terms, new development cannot pay to fix existing deficiencies.

While future development should not be burdened with addressing existing deficiencies in infrastructure, it is important to recognize that new growth proportionally contributes to the increased demand for expanded or improved facilities. New development will increase the existing levels of demand for transportation facilities. Therefore, it is reasonable and equitable to require new development to contribute its fair share toward the costs of infrastructure improvements that are necessitated by this growth.

In the case of roadway widening or other capacity-based projects, the need for additional infrastructure is created by traffic from new development. These improvements are designed to provide the capacity required to accommodate the City’s projected growth, not to correct existing deficiencies. Thus, applying impact fees proportional to the new development is justified because the fees are not addressing preexisting deficiencies, but rather the incremental impact that the new development imposes on the infrastructure system based on the proportion of growth to existing population and infrastructure level of service.

City of Paramount
Transportation Development Impact Fee Program
Nexus Study
14 Without new development, the need for such infrastructure improvements would not arise, or would arise at a much later time. Impact fees serve as a mechanism to ensure that new growth is financially responsible for the additional demands it places on public facilities, aligning with the principles and policies of the City of Paramount General Plan, which emphasizes the importance of a fair and proportionate allocation of infrastructure costs as described in Transportation Element Policy 5.

This DIF Program applies two simple tests as it relates to roadway infrastructure needs:
• “But For” Argument – But for new development, the improvement would not be required.

This typically applies to facilities that operate acceptably today but need widening in the future to serve future development. Alternatively, this could be applied to new roadway connections that are required to access new development. In these types of cases, since new development drives 100% of the need for the infrastructure, 100% of the cost of that infrastructure is included in the fee estimate.
• “Fair Share” Argument – For facilities that are currently deficient, new development is only responsible for paying their “fair share” toward the improvement. In this case, the increased demand by new development is divided by the total future demand on the roadway to identify what that fair share would be.

The expansion of roadways is typically justified by the need to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow, thereby directly responding to the deficiencies in capacity that limit the effectiveness of the existing road network. However, this approach is less applicable to other types of projects, such as multimodal improvements, which focus on enhancing infrastructure for various modes of transportation—like pedestrian pathways, bicycle lanes, and public transit facilities—rather than increasing capacity for a single mode. Multimodal improvements are designed to create a more integrated and balanced transportation network, often emphasizing safety, accessibility, and sustainability rather than solely addressing capacity deficiencies. Therefore, while existing deficiencies might drive roadway widening projects, they do not similarly affect the calculations for multimodal improvements, which are generally aimed at improving the overall quality and functionality of the transportation system (including reducing Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT) and Greenhouse Gases (GHG)) rather than expanding its capacity.

For complete streets facilities, there is not a specific “existing deficiency” as achieving the city’s GHG reduction targets is outlined for the city as a whole. As such, new development can only be responsible for its fair share (as a percentage of total service population) of those improvements. For all the complete streets projects, new development is assumed to be responsible for up to 10.2% of the project cost, which corresponds to the new development as compared to the future service population of the city.

City of Paramount DIF Nexus Study 15
4 Nexus Analysis
Need
The Nexus Analysis, in alignment with the California Mitigation Fee Act, as amended including by AB 602 (2021), must establish a clear and proportional relationship between new development and the demand for public infrastructure. This section focuses on demonstrating the direct link between anticipated growth within the City and the necessity for transportation infrastructure improvements. By doing so, it ensures that the City’s Development Impact Fees (DIF) comply with the essential nexus and rough proportionality standards mandated by relevant legal precedents such as Nollan v. California Coastal Commission and Dolan v. City of Tigard.

Paramount's General Plan projects the City’s level of growth by 2035, with an anticipated future population of approximately 57,224 residents and 23,856 jobs at the Impact Fee Horizon year 2035 (Table 2). Such growth is reasonably expected to elevate the demand for transportation infrastructure, and necessitating enhancements to maintain current service levels. The General Plan outlines a vision for a circulation network that accommodates various transportation modes (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and public transit) across the city. To support this vision, strategic investments in infrastructure are essential to prevent congestion and ensure safe, efficient mobility.

Given the projected growth, the City must expand its transportation network proportionally. The General Plan has a sliding scale for evaluating LOS impacts when a roadway is operating at LOS C, D, E, or F for its roadways. Failure to expand infrastructure to meet the additional demands from growth could degrade the service levels of facilities, leading to congestion, safety concerns, and a diminished quality of life for all who rely on the transportation system. Furthermore, this growth exacerbates safety risks by increasing City of Paramount DIF Nexus Study 17
potential conflicts at intersections, pedestrian crossings, train crossings, and other high-use areas.

Consequently, safety improvements—such as intersection enhancements, protected non-motorized facilities, and modernized traffic controls—are essential to maintaining a safe and efficient transportation system while accommodating new development.

As outlined in the General Plan and supported by transportation planning principles, developments generate varying impacts on transportation networks. Therefore, the DIF must differentiate this relationship by aligning fees assessed with the projected impacts of each type of future development, as shown in Table 4.

Benefits
The transportation infrastructure projects identified in the Nexus Study are essential to support the anticipated growth. These include roadway expansions, intersection improvements, and the development of multimodal transportation options such as bike and pedestrian pathways. Each project is carefully selected to address specific infrastructure needs that will arise from increases in service population and to meet General Plan goals for accessibility, safety, alternative transportation, and reducing greenhouse gases to combat climate change. The City’s General Plan prioritizes the multi modal projects and those supporting modal shifts from autos to cleaner mode such as walk and bike. Reduction of greenhouse gases is a key component of its sustainability goals, aligning with state policies to reduce GHG emissions.

Increasing bikeway facilities aligns with the City’s objectives to promote alternative transportation and enhance access to the transportation network for all user groups, thus improving air quality and reducing GHG emissions. The General Plan specifically highlights the need to expand alternative forms of transportation, such as Class II bike lanes and protected Class IV bikeways, to create a more connected, comfortable, and safe biking environment. The City’s Active Transportation Plan similarly emphasizes the role of expanding bikeways in improving access to schools, parks, and transit hubs, providing a viable alternative to car travel for short to medium distances. Enhanced bikeway networks will not only facilitate active transportation but also contribute directly to the City’s GHG emission reduction strategy. As such, these projects are consistent with goals and policies in the City’s General Plan, Active Transportation Plan, and the Climate Action Plan.

The Active Transportation Plan and Climate Action Plan emphasize a shift toward reducing Automobile trips by promoting compact, walkable communities and enhancing active transportation networks. One of the most effective strategies to meet the state’s GHG reduction targets is to reduce dependence on automobiles. By providing safe and comfortable walking and biking facilities, the City would reduce the number of vehicle trips, by providing alternative travel options and enhancing access and connectivity to two future train stations along the Southeast Gateway Line that will significantly enhance local and regional access without needing to rely on a vehicle.

Maintaining active transportation pathways is crucial for recreation and mobility. Building out the City's trail system is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to accommodate increasing travel demand without exploring additional roadway capacity enhancements. The existing segment of the WSAB City of Paramount
Transportation Development Impact Fee Program
Nexus Study
18 trail in Paramount extends from Lakewood Boulevard to Somerset Boulevard. This would help create a network of trails connecting the future train stations at Paramount/Rosecrans and I-105/C-line. The WSAB segment would help connect central, eastern, and northern portions of the City with transit and the Los Angeles River Bike Path. The West Paramount Utility Easement Multi-Use Path provides a north-south connection that links the southern, central, and western portions of the city with each other and future transit stations, enhancing the City’s ability to accommodate local and regional travel in a more sustainable manner that helps meet documented City goals. The focus within the planning horizon is on providing improved accessibility, safety, and connectivity to a growing active transportation network that helps meet local increases in demand for travel. Most of the City's planned developments are expected at infill areas, where existing pedestrian infrastructures are typically already in place. The DIF-funded a mix of multimodal projects; this balanced approach aligns with the General Plan’s goal to expand alternative modes, thereby supporting the City’s commitment to sustainability and enhancing the quality of life for its residents.

Cost Allocation
AB 602 mandates that development impact fees for residential units be calculated based on square footage rather than the traditional per-unit metric, unless a local agency makes the finding—that includes an explanation of why a per square foot metric is not appropriate—that an alternative basis of calculation is reasonably related, and that other policies in the fee structure supports smaller developments.

The principle of proportionality underlies the requirement that fees imposed on new developments must be proportionate to the impact those developments have on public facilities. To adhere to proportionality basis mandated by AB 602, we calculate the average trip rate per dwelling unit using the weighted average of Single-Family and Multi-Family trip generation rates from Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, and the distribution of residential land uses within the City (65% Single Family and 35% Multi-Family).

To calculate fair share for non-residential uses, Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) trip rates are used to normalize the impacts for autos and trucks. For retail and restaurant uses a 30% pass-by trip reduction is considered to account for existing activities. The final summary trip rates are shown in Table 4 The fee per trip is then calculated based on total growth in PCE trips associated with all residential and non-residential uses.

*** 30% average reduction applied to retail and service stations used to account for the likelihood of pass-by and diverted trips Total Program Costs
Total costs of the DIF program are calculated by the following steps, each ensuring that the fees collected are appropriately aligned with the costs incurred by new development impacts.

1. Identify Total Costs of Transportation Improvements. The total cost of expansion and improvement projects is $14,876,200 as provided in Appendix B.

2. Account for Known Funding (Balance) and Fee Credits (Obligations). While the City does not have an existing DIF program, the City of Paramount has obtained funding for three of the four projects on the DIF project list in the amount of $1,450,000. 9 This balance is subtracted from the
estimated costs to complete improvement projects, and to account for unspent dollars toward future projects. Improvement reimbursement programs allow developers to recover costs for constructing public infrastructure that exceeds the immediate needs of their project and benefits the broader community. Such reimbursement programs typically involve formal reimbursement agreements which the City would be obligated to fulfill, outstanding obligations should be accounted for and subtracted from the remaining balance. At the time of this Study, there are no known reimbursement obligations. Subtracting the known funding from the total transportation improvements cost estimates results in a total unfunded project cost of $13,426,200.

3. Account for Existing Deficiencies. All facilities where capacity-related improvement projects are identified are first evaluated to determine if they adequately serve the City’s current service population, while for multimodal projects, the project percent contribution is capped at its fair share growth. Therefore only a proportional amount of the total project costs is to be funded by future development. Deductions to account for existing deficiencies are in the amount of $12,056,728.

4. Account for Programming and Administrative Fees. The administrative fee associated with the fee program is estimated to be 2%. This percentage reflects the typical level used by many jurisdictions statewide to cover staff time and other costs associated with administering the 9 DIF Fund Balance as of June 2024

20 program. The actual fee may be adjusted in the future to reflect the City’s documented administrative effort. This fee is in line with representative implementation costs including as specified in the Nexus Study and Residential Feasibility Calculation Templates in fulfillment of AB 602 report prepared by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley for the HCD.

Maximum Fee Calculation10
What is the maximum justified fee by land use type—based on the prior steps—that can be charged to new development? Fees on residential land use are levied per building square foot unless an alternative method is justified.

Table 6 shows the estimated cost per trip, and per square foot. 10 Government Code §§ 66005.1 (a) – If housing development satisfies all of the following characteristics, then a transportation fee, or the portion of the fee relating to vehicular traffic impacts, must be set at a rate that reflects a lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with such housing developments in comparison to housing developments without these characteristics, unless the local agency adopts specific findings:
• The housing development is located within one-half mile of a transit station and there is direct access between the housing development and the transit station along a barrier-free walkable pathway not exceeding one-half mile in length.
• Convenience retail uses, including a store that sells food, are located within one-half mile of the housing development.
• The housing development provides either the minimum number of parking spaces required by the local ordinance, or no more than one onsite parking space for zero-to-two-bedroom units, and two onsite parking spaces for three or more-bedroom units, whichever is less.

* Cost per Dwelling Unit is calculated by multiplying cost per trip to the residential per unit trip rate. ** The cost per Dwelling Unit is divided by the average dwelling unit size of 1,315 square feet to arrive at a residential per square foot cost.
*** Cost per square foot of non-residential land use applies the cost per trip to the Passenger Car Equivalency (PCE) trip generation rate per thousand square feet for each land use and then divides by 1,000 for a per square foot cost.

Applying the estimated cost per trip to each land use category, a maximum fee per square foot of land use is calculated. Please note that per AB 602 requirements and assessments within this Study, impact fees for proposed residential projects should be assessed by size (square feet), adjusted by their relationship to the average size of Single-Family Residential units.

Developments near quality transit generally produce fewer vehicle trips due to the availability of transit options, which encourages a shift away from car usage. As such, AB 2533 was passed which requires lower impact fees to be assessed in areas where development is close to high quality transit. This bill was codified in Government Code section 66005.1.

Consistent with this requirement, difference conditions of residential development rates from the ITE Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition) were utilized to estimate the reductions appropriate for development meeting the requirements of the legislation. Please note that, by using ITE rates to develop this adjustment, low-rise multifamily units near high quality transit see a fee reduction of approximately 30% compared to the same development that is not near high quality transit. However, for mid-rise multifamily units, ITE rates show an increase in vehicle trip making for development near transit. To simplify the fee program, the same 30% reduction shown is applied to all residential land uses near a transit station.

Fee Implementation
Steps to Calculate Transportation Development Impact Fees Step 1 – Determine Project Description and Land Use Quantities In this step, the development project is clearly defined by identifying the land use type and its scale. The description should include:

Project type: Residential, commercial/retail, office/business park, manufacturing, warehouse Project size: Specify the quantity in units of the chosen land use category. For the DIF, all uses are measured by square feet.

Step 2 – Apply Transportation Development Impact Fees
Once the land use quantities are identified, the next step is to apply the appropriate transportation development impact fee rates.

Locate the fee schedule: Use the pre-determined transportation impact fee schedule (Table 7) that outlines the fee rates for different land use categories, such as single-family residential, multifamily, commercial, or warehouse.

Calculate the total fee: Multiply the number of proposed quantities of land use by the corresponding transportation impact fee rate.

Example Calculation
Step 1 – Determine Project Description and Land Use Quantities Example: A proposed development includes 100 multi-family dwelling units averaging 1,500 sq. ft. (150,000 sq. ft.) and 40,000 square feet of office space.

Step 2 – Apply Transportation Development Impact Fees
Example: If the fee for a multi-family detached home is $0.54 per sq. ft., the fee for 150,000 sq. ft. would be:
150,000 sq. ft. × $0.54/sq. ft. = $81,000
Example: If the fee for office space is $1.09 per square feet, the fee for 40,000 square feet of office space would be:
40,000 SF × $1.09/sq. ft. = $43,600
Summing up the total fees: After calculating the fees for each land use type, the total transportation impact fee for the project is obtained by adding the individual fees, or $124,600.

Program Administration
This section outlines the procedures for administering and reporting on the City of Paramount’s Transportation Development Impact Fee (DIF) program. It includes guidelines for program administration, updates, regular reporting, and how to address land uses that are not explicitly described within the land use categories of the fee structure. The requirements and procedures for refunds and filing of grievances in settling disputes regarding fee assessment are also detailed.

Program Administration
The City will be responsible for the overall administration and ongoing management of the DIF program.

This involves maintaining accurate records of fee collection, project funding, and program adjustments.

Key Administrative Responsibilities:
• Fee Collection: Ensure that all development projects subject to the DIF program pay the appropriate fees based on the approved fee schedule.
• Fund Allocation: Manage and allocate collected fees toward transportation infrastructure improvements that are directly related to growth.
• Monitoring and Adjustments: Regularly monitor the need for fee adjustments, including indexing fees to account for inflation or changes in construction costs.

To maintain the program’s financial sustainability and relevance, the City will apply an annual adjustment to the DIF, reflecting changes in construction costs. Adjustments should be based on an established construction cost index, such as the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) Construction Contract Cost Index, to ensure fees align with current market conditions.

Program Update
In compliance with AB 602, the City of Paramount’s Transportation Impact Fee Program requires periodic updates and reviews to ensure its alignment with current development patterns, infrastructure needs, and legal standards. The statute requires the City to:
• Review the Fee Program every five (5) years per Government Code §§ 66001. • Update the Nexus Study every eight (8) years per AB 602 • Update the Fee Program and/or Nexus Study if there are any other substantial changes/updates to the Mitigation Fee Act
• Update the Fee Program and/or Nexus Study due to major changes in the policies/assumptions due to a General Plan Update or other citywide planning effort. • Update the Fee Program and/or Nexus Study if the City changes its development impact criteria. • Update the Fee Program and/or Nexus Study if the construction costs change significantly. • Annually update the Fee Program to reflect inflation and other factors that affect the costs of projects in the fee program. The annual adjustment will be based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The City must adopt or update a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as part of the Nexus Study. The CIP outlines the infrastructure projects that will be funded by the collected impact fees, ensuring transparency and planning consistency.

Program Reporting
Government Code §§ 65940.1 requires that the City maintains the following items (which must also be posted on their website):
• A current schedule of fees, exactions, and affordability requirements imposed by the DIF. • All zoning ordinances and development standards adopted by the City showing the information, which shall specify the zoning, design, and development standards that apply to each parcel. • A list that specifies the information that will be required from any applicant for a development project.
• The current and five previous annual fee reports or the current and five previous annual financial reports, fee nexus studies, cost of service studies, or equivalent, conducted by that City, on or after January 1, 2018.

Unique Land Use Categories
In cases where a proposed development does not fit neatly into the predefined land use categories within the DIF program, the City will apply a methodology that ensures the fee is proportional to the anticipated impact of the development on transportation infrastructure.

Impact Assessment: For new or uncommon land uses, the project must submit a traffic impact assessment to determine the projected vehicle trips, or other relevant metrics (e.g., Vehicle Miles Traveled, VMT), generated by the proposed development.

Trip Generation Data: The City will reference the most recent edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual to estimate the transportation demand of the new land use. If no specific trip generation data is available for the proposed land use, the City will use a comparable category from the manual as a proxy.

Custom Fee Calculation: Once the anticipated transportation demand is assessed, the City will calculate a custom fee based on the closest comparable land use category in the DIF schedule, adjusted for any unique characteristics of the development.

Refund Provisions
Under California Government Code §§ 66001(d) and (e), the City of Paramount must refund any unexpended development impact fees, along with accrued interest, if not used or committed within five years of collection. Refunds are issued to the current record owners on a pro-rata basis, determined using the last equalized assessment roll. If administrative costs of processing the refund exceed the refund amount, the City may, after a public hearing, allocate the funds to a related public improvement serving the original development. Additionally, the City must make specific findings every five years regarding the purpose, relationship, and anticipated use of unspent fees, ensuring transparency and accountability in fee management.

Grievances
California Government Code §§ 66000-66025 requires that legal avenues be available to contest the fees associated with this update. Under the Act, §66001(a)(3) requires that a local agency demonstrate “a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed,” ensuring that all fees remain proportional and impact based. At the same time, §66020(a) establishes a formal avenue to contest such fees by stating that “any party may protest the imposition of fees, dedications, reservations, or other exactions imposed on a development project by a local agency.” Following this requirement, City of Paramount is open to anyone disputing the transportation impact fee and generally would be facilitated by the following key considerations that are required by the Government Code (as presented on the following page).

Fee Challenges and Protest Procedures
Under Government Code § 66020, developers or property owners who disagree with the amount or validity of an imposed fee must follow a specific protest procedure. To preserve their right to challenge the fee:
• The developer/owner must submit a written notice of protest to the City at the time of fee payment or within 90 days after the fee imposition, whichever occurs first. • The protest must clearly outline the grounds for dispute, such as the lack of nexus between the fee and the development's impact or disagreement with the fee calculation method.

Failure to file a protest within this period waives the right to legally challenge the fee in the future. This is consistent with the Municipal Code as noted above.

Public Hearing for Disputes
If the dispute is not resolved at the local level, the developer has the right to seek judicial review. To initiate this process:
• A lawsuit challenging the fee must be filed within 180 days of the fee being imposed or from the final decision issued by the City after the grievance process.

Re: Water Capacity Charges Study
Bartle Wells Associates is pleased to submit the attached Water Capacity Charges Study to the City of Paramount. The report develops water capacity charges that are designed to equitably recover the costs of infrastructure and assets benefiting new development.

Key objectives of the study include developing capacity chargesthat recover the costs of capacity in water system infrastructure, are fair and equitable to both existing customers and new connections, are based on industry-standard methodology, and comply with all legal requirements. The study recommends a set of charges that would apply uniformly to the City’s service area.

We enjoyed working with the City on this assignment and appreciate the ongoing input and assistance received from the City’s project team. Please contact us anytime if you have questions about the recommendations presented in this report or other related issues.

City of Paramount Water Capacity Charges Study

1. BACKGROUND, OBJECTIVES, & GOVERNMENT CODE

1.1. Background
The City of Paramount (City) is located in Los Angeles county, approximately fifteen miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, in Southern California. The City encompasses approximately 5 square miles and has an estimated population of 51,000.

The City levies water capital improvement charges on new or expanded connections to the City’s water system. These charges are levied as a condition of development or change in use and are designed to recover the cost of capacity in infrastructure and assets benefiting new development.

Capacity charges are one-time charges, paid up-front as a condition of new development or expansion. Capacity charges are separate from the City’s rates for water services. New connections begin paying the City’s water rates after they have paid their capacity charge and become ongoing customers.

The City retained Bartle Wells Associates to update the City’s water capacity charges with the goal of developing updated charges that:
• Recover the full costs of water system infrastructure and assets that benefit new or expanded development to help ensure that growth pays its own way; • Equitably recover costs based on the new or increased capacity needs of new development or redevelopment;
• Are consistent with industry-standard practices and methodologies; • Comply with government code.

1.2. Government Code
Development impact fees are governed by California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq This section of the Code was initially established by Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600) and is commonly referred to as the Mitigation Fee Act. Pursuant to the Code, a development impact fee is not a tax or special assessment, but is, instead, a voluntary charge levied to defray the cost of public facilities needed to serve new development.

Section 66013 of the Code specifically governs water and wastewater capacity charges. This section of the Code defines a “capacity charge” to mean “a charge for public facilities in existence at the time a charge is imposed or charges for new public facilities to be acquired or constructed in the future that are of proportional benefit to the person or property being charged.” BARTLE WELLS ASSOCIATES 2 | Page
City of Paramount Water Capacity Charges Study
The Code distinguishes “capacity charges” from “connection fees” which are defined as fees for the physical facilities necessary to make a water or sewer connection, such as costs related to installation of meters and pipelines from a new building to a water or sewer main. This report refers to the City’s Water Capital Improvement Fee as “capacity charges,” in line with the intended purpose of these fees.

According to the Section 66013, a water or wastewater capacity charge “shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed” unless approved by a two-thirds vote. As such, the capacity charges calculated in this report represent the maximum charges that the City can levy. Section 66013 does not detail any specific methodology for calculating capacity charges.

Section 66016 of the Code identifies the procedural requirements for adopting or increasing water capacity charges and Section 66022 summarizes the general process by which the charges can be legally challenged. The full text of Sections 66013, 66016 and 66022 are attached in Appendix A.

1.3. Proposed Water Capacity Charges
This report develops updated water capacity charges designed to equitably recover the costs of facilities and assets benefitting new development. The recommended charges are based on a System Buy-In Approach under which new or expanded connections would fund their proportionate share of costs (in current dollars) for capacity needed in existing water system facilities and assets.

2. CAPACITY CHARGE METHODOLOGY
Public agencies have used a wide range of methodologies to calculate capacity charges. This section presents our general methodology and a brief overview of common methods for calculating updated capacity charges.

Our general methodology used to calculate updated water capacity charges is summarized in the following figure.

Figure 1: Capacity Charge Methodology
Public agencies have used a wide range of methodologies to calculate capacity charges. BWA recommends use of a Buy-in Method to calculate updated water capacity charges. Under this method, new connections “buy in” for a proportionate share of capacity needed in the City’s existing water system facilities and assets. A brief overview of common methods for calculating updated capacity charges is presented below.

Buy-In Only Approach (Recommended):
• Cost Recovery: Cost of existing assets (in current, inflation-adjusted dollars) • Capacity Denominator: The projected capacity of the system at the Horizon Year (2040) Step 1 - Determine Cost of Facilities & Assets for Fee Recovery Determine the recoverable cost of facilities and assets benefiting new development to be recovered by the capacity charge.

Step 2 - Identify Capacity of Facilities
Identify the corresponding capacity of facilities and assets identified in Step 1; capacity may be limited by the amount of development the City reasonably anticipates its facilities will serve for the foreseeable future.

Step 3 - Calculate Cost per Unit of Capacity
Calculate the cost per unit of capacity by dividing the costs identified for recovery in Step 1 by the capacity of those facilities identified in Step 2.

Step 4 - Apply Cost per Unit to the Capacity Needs of New Development Apply the unit cost for capacity to the infrastructure capacity needs of each new development to determine an equitable capacity charge per new connection.

BARTLE WELLS ASSOCIATES 4 | Page
City of Paramount Water Capacity Charges Study
Expansion or Marginal Cost Approach:
• Cost Recovery: The cost of anticipated expansion-related capital improvements in current, inflation-adjusted dollars
• Denominator: Expansion capacity in City facilities with completion of the growth-related capital improvements at the Horizon Year
Buy-In + Expansion Cost Approach:
• Under this approach, the capacity charge includes two components: a) a buy-in component to recover an equitable share of costs for existing facilities available to serve new development (in current dollars), plus b) an expansion component to recover the cost of capacity in future facilities needed to serve projected new development. • The Buy-in + Expansion Method is a widely used and accepted method for calculating capacity charges, particularly for service areas that are largely built out but require additional infrastructure improvements to meet the demands of anticipated growth and redevelopment.

3. WATER CAPACITY CHARGE CALCULATION

3.1. Current Water Capacity Charges
The City levies water capital improvement fees on new or expanded connections to the City’s water system where construction of additional dwelling units or change in land use intensity is proposed, or an existing connection from an industrial, commercial, or institutional parcel where proposed modifications will either increase water consumption by more than 25 percent or will increase the existing fire flow requirements. Table 1 below summarizes the City’s current water capacity charges which are based on the Fire Department requirements for fire flow and duration and calculated on a per acre charge.

Table 1 – Current Water Capacity Charges
Fire Flow (gpm) Duration Charge per Acre
0 to 750 2 hours $1,200
851 to 1,250 2 hours 1,300
1,251 to 1,750 2 hours 1,400
1,751 to 2,250 2 hours 1,600
2,251 to 2,750 2 hours 1,800
2,751 to 3,250 2 hours 2,000
3,251 to 3,750 2 hours 2,400
3,751 to 4,250 2 hours 2,800
4,251 to 5,000 2 hours 3,200

3.2. Existing Water System Facilities & Assets
The City is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of the water treatment and distribution system, comprised of 3 wells, and 130 miles of water pipe. The following tables show an inventory of water system assets along with current replacement cost estimates used to determine the current construction costs of the water system.

Replacement costs may be determined using established indexes, for example the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which measures the average change over time in the price of a basket of everyday goods and services such as food and transportation, or the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index (ENR-CCI) which measures the change in a package of construction materials and labor costs over time. This adjustment takes into consideration the change in the value of a dollar over time. For this analysis, cost estimates per unit of measurement for pipelines are and based on the City’s 2015 Water Master Plan and escalated to current dollars using the ENR-CCI, 20-Cities Average. This index represents the average cost of construction and labor across 20 major US cities and provides a more conservative measure of cost trends compared to individual city indexes which can be more volatile due to local price fluctuations.

To provide recognition of the physical effects of aging, percent useful life remaining for each asset type is determined by dividing the age of assets by type by their estimated useful life. This adjustment takes into account the anticipated reduction of asset wear, tear, and decay caused by aging to determine water system assets for recovery by capacity charges.

3.3. Value of Water System Assets for Recovery
Under the methodology used in this report, water capacity charges are designed to recover a proportionate share of the replacement value of existing water system facilities and assets (in current dollars). The value of existing assets is determined by identifying the estimated current replacement cost of assets and then reducing the value to only reflect the remaining estimated useful life. While the charge could be based on the replacement value, this approach was used because it reflects the remaining value of assets.

The updated charges exclude the outstanding principal, net of cash. The value of assets is reduced by the outstanding principal balances related to the financing of assets because the outstanding principal balance reflects asset value that will be paid by future rate revenues. Existing cash balances have been collected from customers and could be used to pay off the debt principal.

For this study, reserves exceeding the outstanding principal were not included as assets.

Table 4 shows a summary of existing water system asset values for the water capacity charges calculation.

3.4. Current and Projected Water System Capacity
The next step in calculating capacity charges for the City’s water system is to determine the current capacity of the system. Existing customer connections are converted into Meter Equivalent Units (MEUs) by meter size. The benefit of using MEUs is that they relate the relative capacity of connections by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards for maximum safe operating capacity by meter size. In short, using MEUs accounts for the relative capacity of connections with meters of various sizes and the likelihood of larger meters generating more system demand. Since single family residences are the City’s primary water connection type, and since current development requirements for new single family connections require a minimum ¾” meter, this study calculates the meter equivalent ratio based on a ¾” meter base. The meter ratio for all other meters is determined by dividing the capacity for that meter by the capacity for a ¾” meter
Table 5 summarizes the data used to determine the City’s current number of MEUs, which is reflective of the current capacity of the system.

Table 6 projects the number of MEUs for the City’s future customer base through 2040 based on a) the City’s most recent population growth estimates and b) the City’s existing MEU count. The projections shown represent the total customer demand that the City’s water system is projected to serve through 2040.

3.5. Water System Cost Recovery per MEU
Table 7 calculates an updated capacity charge using the Buy-in Method by dividing a) the recoverable cost of water system assets by b) the projected future capacity of the City’s water system. The calculation results in a water system capacity charge of $2,096 per MEU.

While the proposed capacity charges developed in this study are higher than the City’s existing charges, they are developed to reflect the current cost of infrastructure and help ensure that new and expanded connections pay for their share of capacity in the City’s water system.

3.6. Accessory Dwelling Units
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are generally defined as secondary residential dwelling units constructed on a residential property and may include a) second independent living units within or attached to the living area of an existing primary residence, and b) detached accessory dwelling units. ADUs are governed by California Government Code Section 65852.2.

BARTLE WELLS ASSOCIATES 10 | Page
City of Paramount Water Capacity Charges Study
The Code includes language governing water and sewer capacity charges for ADUs including:
• ADUs within the living area of a primary residence “shall not be considered to be a new residential use for the purposes of calculating connection fees or capacity charges for utilities, including water and sewer service.” Hence, the Agency may not levy capacity charges on ADUs that meet the requirements of the Code and are constructed within the living area of primary residence. To be considered within the living area of a primary residence, the Code permits “an expansion of not more than 150 square feet beyond the same physical dimensions as the existing accessory structure.”
• Detached ADUs, or ADUs that require expansion of a primary residence in excess of 150 square feet, may require a new or separate utility connection directly between the accessory dwelling unit and the utility. Consistent with Section 66013, the connection may be subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that shall be proportionate to the burden of the proposed accessory dwelling unit, based upon either its size or the number of its plumbing fixtures, upon the water or sewer system.”
In compliance with the Code, the water system “burden” and corresponding capacity charges for ADUs eligible to pay such charges are proposed to be calculated in proportion to the square footage of an ADU as compared to the average square footage of a single family home or MEU, resulting in a proportionate cost per square foot for an ADU.

Table 8 on the following page show the City’s capacity charge calculation for ADUs.

Water capacity charges for new ADUs 750 square feet and larger requiring or requesting a separate connection to the City’s water system would be calculated based on the square footage of each unit multiplied by the capacity charge per square foot.

4. CAPACITY CHARGES APPLICATION
This section highlights some key issues regarding the application and implementation of the updated capacity charges.

4.1. Capacity Charge Ordinance: Purpose of Charge
Pursuant to Government Code 66013, revenue derived from the City’s capacity charges can only be used for the purpose for which the charges are collected. In order to maximize the City’s flexibility for use of capacity charge revenues, BWA recommends that the ordinances/resolutions adopting new charges broadly define the purpose of each capacity charge, such as to recover a proportionate share of costs for existing and future water system facilities and assets from new or expanded connections to the water system.

4.2. Annual inflation Adjustments
To account for future construction cost inflation, BWA recommends that the City’s capacity charge ordinances include language authorizing automatic annual adjustments along with the ability to implement a “catch-up” adjustment if an annual adjustment is ever deferred or only partially implemented. This will allow for a multi-year adjustment if the City ever defers an annual adjustment.

4.3. Use of Capacity Charge Revenues
BWA recommends that the City apply all capacity charge revenues to fund water system capital improvements.

4.4. Capacity Charge Application with Unknown Uses
Developers occasionally seek permits for development projects whose ultimate uses are not known at the time the capacity charge is paid. In these cases, BWA recommends the City levy the capacity charge for the estimated number of water meters by size as an initial payment that would be subject to adjustment after the development is occupied and its uses are known. The future adjustment may include the requirement to pay additional capacity charges or potentially receive a partial refund. In such cases, the City should require written acknowledgment from the property owner regarding the potential requirement for additional capacity charges to be paid based on the future use of the property.

BARTLE WELLS ASSOCIATES 12 | Page
City of Paramount Water Capacity Charges Study

4.5. Changes in Property Use
In cases where a property experiences a change in use, such as if an office is converted into a restaurant, the City is entitled to collect capacity fees for any change in water demand, similar to a redevelopment project.

4.6. Capacity Charge Credits for Redevelopment
Capacity charges for redevelopment projects and/or expansions should be based on the incremental demand generated from each project. Under this approach, future redevelopment projects would get credited for the capacity purchased by the prior development. For example, if a customer initially paid capacity charges for a 1-inch meter and later upgrades their connection to a 1.5-inch meter, they would be responsible for their incremental demand on the water system. The capacity charges for this customer would be calculated as the difference between the current capacity charges for a 1.5-inch meter less the capacity charges for a 1-inch meter.

4.7. Limited Term of Application for an Adopted Capacity Charge Other California agencies have experienced problems with developers’ purchasing capacity many years in advance of anticipated development in order to lock in lower fees. To avoid these problems, the City should require that capacity fees be paid up front as a condition of development and should allow the charges to be effective for a limited period of time (typically one year) after which the developer or property owner would be responsible for paying any increase to the charges.

4.8. Future Adjustments to Capacity Charges
In future years, BWA recommends that the City update its capacity charges annually. The City’s capacity charge ordinances can allow for automatic annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, which is City’s preferred cost index. The maximum annual charge in a given year is the capacity charge amount shown in the study above increased by the percent change between that year’s CPI-U and 334.531 (CPI-U, December 2024).

Additionally, the City should review and consider updating its capacity fees when substantial revisions are made to anticipated capital improvement costs or to substantial changes in projected demand. In general, BWA recommends that capacity fees be independently reviewed and/or updated approximately once every five years.

1. INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
The City of Paramount is exploring various tools to address the City’s affordable housing needs, including the potential adoption of a commercial linkage fee program. A commercial linkage fee, also known as a jobs-housing linkage fee, is a type of development impact fee charged to developers of new, nonresidential properties to help support affordable housing for lower-wage workers. The conceptual underpinning of the fee is that new nonresidential development creates new jobs, and some of these jobs will pay wages below what is required for a worker to afford a market-rate housing unit in the City. If the cost to construct new housing units is higher than can be supported by the rents or home prices that workers can afford to pay, the difference is considered an “affordability gap.” The nexus (or reasonable relationship) established between the projected number of lower-wage jobs created by new development, and the subsidy needed to fund this “affordability gap” and support the creation and maintenance of units that are affordable to workers in these jobs is the basis for the linkage fee.

Economic & Planning Systems (EPS) was retained to analyze the feasibility of a commercial linkage fee program in Paramount. EPS has completed the required nexus analysis that quantifies the relationship between the growth in several nonresidential land uses (commercial land use categories), including retail/restaurant/services, office, industrial, and warehousing, and the demand for and cost of affordable housing for the local workforce.

Assessing an impact fee, such as a linkage fee, based on an established nexus is allowed pursuant to the State of California’s Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code sections 66000 et seq.). As a development impact fee, this linkage fee can only be charged to new development and must be based on the impact of new development on the need for resources to subsidize the development of new affordable housing. Fee revenue may be collected by the City and used to subsidize the production or preservation of affordable units for lower-income households.

Regional Context
Commercial linkage fees are common across the state but most common in high-demand, highvalue jurisdictions with strong nonresidential development trends. Fees are often set well below the nexus-based maximums and typically range from $1 to $10. Appendix C exhibits examples of commercial linkage fees in other cities by land use category.

Key Findings
Table 1 summarizes the maximum justifiable linkage fee by commercial land use category. The methodology used to establish the maximum justifiable fees is described in the subsequent chapters of this report. Please note that these maximum fees are supported by the nexus analysis but are likely to exceed levels that could feasibly be borne by new commercial developments. The City has the opportunity to adopt fees up to these maximum levels but may want to consider other economic development and fiscal revenue factors in determining the fee level for adoption.

Table 1 Summary of Maximum Allowable Linkage Fees
Table 2 presents the income categories that are relevant for this fee program. This study uses incomes defined by the State of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)1. The number of worker households that are generated as a result of commercial development are categorized on the basis of these income levels. Within Los Angeles County, the maximum income defined for Acutely-Low, Extremely-Low, Very-Low, and LowIncome households is adjusted upwards from the associated percentage of area median income (AMI) by approximately 30 percent. Due to this adjustment, for example, the maximum income for a Low-Income household in Los Angeles County is actually higher than the County median income. HCD applies these adjustments in counties with relatively high housing costs and/or relatively high or low household incomes.

2. REQUIRED NEXUS FINDINGS FOR FEE PROGRAM
The following section confirms that this Nexus Study contains the findings required under the Mitigation Fee Act for the establishment of a new development impact fee (Commercial Linkage Fee), should the City Council decide to proceed with adoption of a commercial linkage fee program.

Background
The City of Paramount (City) has not previously adopted a commercial linkage fee for affordable housing. The City of Paramount’s 6th Cycle Housing Element, which was certified as of October 7, 2022, addressed regional housing trends, local housing needs, and broader goals and policies to support the City’s needs. The City retained Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to explore the feasibility of an affordable housing impact fee for new commercial (i.e., nonresidential) development.

Authority
This study serves as the basis for requiring development impact fees under AB 1600 legislation, as codified by the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code sections 66000 et seq.). This section of the Mitigation Fee Act sets forth the procedural requirements for establishing and collecting development impact fees. These procedures require that a reasonable relationship, or nexus, must exist between a governmental exaction and the purpose of the condition.

In 1991, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the City of Sacramento’s nonresidential linkage fee.2 In that case, the court found that the City of Sacramento’s fee program “substantially advanced a legitimate interest.” EPS is using a similar methodology to the nexus study reviewed in that case to develop the City of Paramount’s fee program.

Required Nexus Findings
The Mitigation Fee Act clearly identifies the required nexus findings.

Required Nexus Findings
• Identify the purpose of the fee.
• Identify how the fee is to be used.
• Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
• Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the demand for affordable housing and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. • Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public benefit attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed. 2 Commercial Builders of Northern California v. City of Sacramento, 941 F2d 872 (1991).

Purpose of Fee
The fee program established through this Nexus Study will fund the development and preservation of affordable housing in the City to serve lower-wage workers employed by new nonresidential development.

Use of Fee
The fee will be collected by the City. The funds are used to assist in the production or rehabilitation of affordable housing units and/or the acquisition of land or existing at-risk units in the City. The fee may also fund the studies and administration to support the fee program.

Relationship between Use of Fee and Type of Development New commercial development in the City will generate new jobs. Some portion of the workers in those jobs will not earn wages high enough to afford rent prices necessary to support new residential development without subsidy. The linkage fee will be used to help fund this subsidy, resulting in the development of residential units affordable to the local workforce.

Relationship between Demand for Affordable Housing and Type of Project The City and EPS have identified four commercial land use categories (retail/restaurant/services, office, industrial, and warehousing) for which a separate fee has been calculated. The proportion of lower wage workers and the number of square feet per employee for each employment category has been assessed to ensure a proper nexus is established.

Relationship between Amount of Fee and Cost of Public Benefit Attributed to New Development
EPS estimated the difference between the cost of developing new rental housing and the value of the new rental units based on rents affordable to workers at wages typical of businesses in different commercial land uses. The affordable rents yielded unit values below the cost of construction, indicating an “affordability gap.” To estimate the fee for each Commercial Land Use, this gap was multiplied by the anticipated number of lower wage workers generated by the new development projects and the number of households of various income categories those workers are likely to form.

A ssembly B ill 602 Provisions
AB 602 passed in the California Assembly in 2021 and was signed by the Governor. The legislation adds some new requirements for impact fees in addition to those required under AB 1600. While much of the intent of AB 602 was to clarify and limit impact fees applied to residential development, certain aspects of AB 602 may also apply to nonresidential development.

Existing Level of Service
Under Government Code 66016.5, AB 602 requires that an impact fee nexus study “identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.” Draft Report
Paramount Commercial Linkage Fee Nexus Study
11/13/25
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 6
The City of Paramount currently has 30 affordable housing units for an employment base of 25,099 workers.3 This represents a ratio of 0.0012 assisted affordable rental units per worker.

The “adjusted maximum” linkage fee levels identified herein would allow the City to subsidize a greater number of affordable units per worker – 0.4 per retail/restaurant/services worker, 0.2 per office/R&D/medical office worker, 0.3 per industrial worker, and 0.3 per warehouse worker.4 These higher proportions may be appropriate given the shortfall of such affordable units in the city, region, and state, and the demonstrated impacts of new commercial development on the City’s need for affordable housing.

As an example of public policy reflecting that shortfall, the State’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process has indicated that Paramount should aim to produce 364 total housing units between 2021 and 2029, including 184 units priced at moderate or lower incomes. This target would represent a significant increase in the pace of both targeted and actual affordable housing production in recent years.

Collection of Fees at Previous Levels
Under Government Code 66016.5, AB 602 requires that “if a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.” The City has not previously adopted a commercial linkage fee nexus study or fee program. The City of Paramount wishes to use the commercial linkage fee program to generate revenue to increase the number of deed-restricted affordable housing as new workers are added to the local employment base.

Capital Improvement Plan
Under Government Code 66016.5, AB 602 requires that “large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study.” Under Government Code 66002, “any local agency which levies a fee subject to Section 66001 may adopt a capital improvement plan, which shall indicate the approximate location, size, time of availability, and estimates of cost for all facilities or improvements to be financed with the fees.” Capital improvement plans typically include specific infrastructure projects and public facilities rather than affordable housing developments, and affordable housing is not listed in the statute as the type of “facility” or “improvement” for which a capital improvement plan must be adopted. However, the City has expressed its intent to support the permitting and construction of affordable housing units as specified in the State’s RHNA process, including 184 moderate- and lower-income units. These units may be located in various areas within the City’s boundaries, may range from single units to larger complexes of 100 or more units, and are intended to be permitted and/or developed by 2029. This nexus study estimates the costs to develop such units, less their value as income3 Assisted rental unit count is from correspondence with City staff. 4 Proportions are calculated as the number of affordable units that could be subsidized by the maximum fee on a 100,000 square foot space, discounted by 7.6 percent of that figure given commute patterns to reflect the “adjusted maximum” (as shown on Tables 9-12) and then divided by the total number of employees that would work in a given building size (as shown on Table 6).

3. METHODOLOGY AND FEE CALCULATION
Land Use Categories
The commercial land uses analyzed in this study are presented in Table 3, along with a description of the types of businesses that are included in each category. In general, each land use category is intended to be associated with a particular type of building or land use, to which the fees can be applied. The City has asked EPS to evaluate four distinct land use categories, but the City may choose not to adopt fees for all land use categories. While most land use categories are discretely associated with a particular type of building, others may be interchangeable as tenants may shift between building types (e.g., businesses located in industrial space moving to office space). This analysis bases its employment projections on North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes associated with the most typical tenants for each land use category, as defined in Appendix B.

Estimates of New Worker Households
The following section details the methodology for estimating the distribution of household income levels for new worker households in the City, and the number of these households that will be generated by new development in each commercial land use category.

Occupational Category and Wage Distribution
The first step in determining the number of new worker households requiring affordable residential units is to associate each land use type with occupational categories and the wage distribution within those categories. This estimate included the following analytical steps:
• EPS used JobsEQ to calculate the proportion of occupations likely to be represented under each land use category in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). For example, EPS evaluated the occupation categories within the utilities, construction, manufacturing, truck transportation, and repair and maintenance industries to determine the proportional distribution of occupations for the land use category “Industrial.” Using JobsEQ, EPS found that the NAICS sector 310000 (“Manufacturing”) for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim MSA shows that 8.00 percent of the jobs in the industrial industry nationwide are filled by managers, while 23.66 percent of jobs are categorized as production-related occupations (see Table B-3). The occupational distribution for all designated employment categories is provided in Appendix B. In addition to the distribution of occupation, JobsEQ provides the average wage for each occupation category in each land use category.
• The wages for each occupation were multiplied by 1.95, the average number of workers per working household in the City.5 The resulting figure represents estimated annual household income under the assumption that all workers in a household have similar earning potential. While certainly there will be some variation in wages per employee within a household, in the absence of more specific data, this analysis assumes comparable levels of education and training and thus hourly earnings among all workers in a given household.

Table 4 presents an example of how household income is calculated for each occupational category and the corresponding income category for that household. 5 From the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 2023 5-Year Estimate.

Distribution of Workers by Land Use Type
After identifying income ranges for each occupation category, EPS summed the percentages of the households in each income bracket across all occupations represented in the land use categories. These estimates of the proportion of worker households in each income brackets by land use category are presented in Table 5.

As illustrated, no employment categories are expected to generate any households at the Very Low-Income levels. Retail/Restaurant/Services, Industrial, and Warehousing uses are expected to generate significant numbers of households at the Low-Income level, while jobs in the Office/R&D/Medical Offices use are expected to yield more households with incomes at or above Moderate-Income levels. See Appendix B for details regarding the distribution of occupations and wages within each land use type.

Employment Densities
Different land use categories operate with varying levels of employment densities. A 100,000 square foot warehousing facility, for example, typically has fewer employees than an office building of the same size. The number of building square feet anticipated for an employee is termed the “employment density” of each land use category.

Based on research and experience with other comparable cities, EPS estimated the employment density for each of the land use categories (detailed in Appendix Table A-1). Using these employment density assumptions, EPS estimated the number of employees that would occupy a prototypical 100,000-square foot building for each land use category, as shown in Table 6.

Household Formation
After calculating the estimated number of new employees generated for each land use category, EPS estimated the number of households represented by these new employees, detailed in Table 6. To calculate new households, EPS first adjusted the number of workers expected to form new households, accounting for those workers who are typically too young (aged 16 to 19) to form their own households.6 The resulting adjusted estimate of new workers was divided by

1.95, which represents the average number of workers per household in Paramount.7 6 Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate this age cohort represents about 2.3 percent of the overall workforce. This proportion was applied to all industries except retail/restaurant/services industries, where the younger worker cohort represent 7.9 percent of the overall industry employment. 7 Based on the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 2019-2023 data regarding the number of Paramount residents who are defined as “workers” in households that have workers.

Households by Income Level5
[2] U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data indicates that 7.9% of retail/restaurant workers are aged 16-19, but an average of only 2.3% of workers in other industries fall into that age cohort. EPS has assumed that workers aged 16-19 do not form their own households. [4] This maximum nexus-based fee calculation assumes that Paramount fees account for all worker households generated by new employers in City of Paramount, though some workers and their households may choose to reside outside of Paramount. Total number of households may not match sum of households by income level due to rounding.

Housing Development Costs and Affordability Gap
To calculate the maximum justifiable fee for each land use category, EPS estimated the “affordability gap” related to developing residential units affordable to very-low, low, and moderate-income households. The average household size in Paramount is 3.64 people per household according to 2023 Five-Year Estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS), but the average number of people, per working household (households with earnings – not including retired households, etc.) is 4.09. Thus, this analysis estimates the costs of providing affordable housing for a four-person household, to represent the average size of working households (rounded). California State law (California Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5) assumes that a four-person household would occupy a three-bedroom unit, and this assumption is used in this analysis.

The assumed prototype reflects multifamily construction at 30 dwelling units to the acre with structured parking, consistent with typical multifamily zoning allowances in the City. Based on comparable recent projects in the vicinity of Paramount, EPS assumes that the typical net square footage of a three-bedroom rental unit in Paramount will be approximately 1,100 square feet.

Development Cost Assumptions
Affordable housing development costs include land costs, direct costs (e.g., labor and materials), and indirect or “soft” costs (e.g., architecture, entitlement, marketing, etc.). Data from recent land transactions in and around Paramount have been combined with EPS’s information from various market-rate and affordable housing developers in the surrounding region to estimate appropriate development cost assumptions for use in Paramount. A developer fee is also estimated and represents the compensation to the developer for their efforts, investment, and risk. These assumptions are shown on Table 7 and indicate that the total cost per unit for rental apartments is about $778,000. By necessity, this figure represents a “prototypical” project; the actual costs for a given project will vary by location and project design characteristics.

Revenue Assumptions
Assumptions must be made regarding the applicable income level (very-low, low, and moderate) and the percentage of household income spent on housing costs to calculate the values of the affordable units. In addition, translating these assumptions into unit prices and values requires estimates of operating expenses and capitalization rates. The following assumptions were used in these calculations:
• Income Levels—This analysis estimates the subsidy required to produce units for households falling into the very low, low, and moderate-income categories for a four-person household.

While these categories are generally defined as a percentage of area median income (AMI) by HCD, EPS has assumed the maximum income level allowable under each nominal income category (for instance “moderate income” levels are set at 120 percent AMI, the very top of the range typically defined as 80 to 120 percent AMI). This assumption thus minimizes the development subsidy required for units at each income category. • Percentage of Gross Household Income Available for Housing Costs— HCD standards on overpaying for rent indicate that households should pay no more than 30 percent of their Draft Report
Paramount Commercial Linkage Fee Nexus Study
11/13/25
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 16
gross income on housing cost.8 For this analysis, EPS has assumed that all households shall spend 30 percent of their gross income on housing costs, including the cost of utilities stated by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) utility allowance schedule. • Operating Costs for Rental Units—This analysis assumes that apartment operators incur annual operating costs of $7,700 per unit for units affordable to Very-Low and Low-Income households. EPS has assumed the units affordable to Moderate-Income households would have similar operating costs but would be built by for-profit builders and thus also subject to property taxes, increasing their annual operating cost to $10,000 per unit.

Affordability Gap Results
Table 7 shows the costs and values for developing rental apartments in the City for households at various income levels. Across all categories, the cost of constructing the unit is higher than the supportable value of the unit. This is considered the “affordability gap,” and serves as the basis for calculating the subsidies required to provide housing for the lower-wage worker households generated by new nonresidential development. The results of the analysis illustrate that rents affordable to households earning Moderate Income levels and below cannot support the costs of new construction without subsidy.

Fee Calculation
Table 9 through Table 12 provide the maximum nonresidential housing fee calculations for each of the three land use categories.

The fee is calculated by the following steps:

1. Estimate the number of new households by income category generated by a prototypical 100,000-square foot building in the land use category.

2. Multiply the number of households generated by the per-unit affordability gap (as calculated in Table 9) to determine the level of subsidy required to provide housing in Paramount for all new worker households.

3. Divide the total affordability gap by 100,000 square feet (the size of the prototype building) to determine a maximum fee per building square foot.

The “Maximum Fee per Square Foot” calculated in the following tables represents the maximum justifiable linkage fee that the City can charge for each land use category based on the required nexus findings. The City may, however, decide to adopt fees below the maximum justifiable levels based on economic or policy considerations, as the maximum fee levels likely exceed levels that could feasibly be borne by new commercial developments.

For example, EPS has calculated an “Adjusted Maximum” fee reflecting the idea that not every employee of newly developed workplaces will in fact reside in Paramount, as shown in Table 8.

According to the most recently available data from the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, only 7.6 percent of people who work in Paramount also live in Paramount. EPS has applied that proportion to the “Maximum Fee” to calculate an “Adjusted Maximum” for each land use category. To be clear, however, this type of adjustment is not legally required, but does yield a lower fee.

APPROVING THE MIDYEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AMENDING THE
FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 ADOPTED OPERATING AND CAPITAL

IMPROVEMENT BUDGET

BACKGROUND
We are pleased to present the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025–26 Midyear Budget Review. The annual Adopted Budget serves as a financial plan based on the best information available at the time of its preparation. In accordance with the City’s budget policy, the budget may be amended during the fiscal year to address unforeseen circumstances, emerging needs, or changes in the cost of providing services. In addition to budget adjustments previously approved by the City Council throughout the year, staff conducts a comprehensive review at the midyear point to assess actual revenues and expenditures against the Adopted Budget. This Midyear Review provides an update on the City’s financial position and includes recommended budget modifications necessary to carry the City through the remainder of FY 2025–26.

DISCUSSION
Over the past several years, the economy has experienced heightened volatility. In the Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim region, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) peaked at

7.3 percent in February 2022. In response to inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve implemented a series of incremental interest rate increases between 2022 and 2023.

While higher interest rates were initially maintained to curb inflation and stabilize economic conditions, the Federal Reserve implemented its first rate cut in four years in September 2024 as inflation began to moderate and concerns of economic slowdown emerged. As of February 2026, CPI had declined to 3.1 percent.

As part of the Midyear Budget Review, it is important to consider the broader economic and political environment in which the City operates. Recent events—including the devastating Los Angeles wildfires have introduced additional economic pressures across the region. These events have also contributed to ongoing instability in the insurance market, resulting in higher premiums, increased deductibles, and greater risk exposure for public agencies. In addition, uncertainty surrounding federal fiscal policy, including Agenda Report February 10, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:007 Page 2
potential funding freezes, proposed expenditure reductions, and evolving regulatory requirements, could significantly impact local governments, including the City of Paramount.

At the state level, ongoing budget volatility may affect the timing and availability of State funding and could result in cost shifts to local agencies. More broadly, public agencies continue to face structural cost pressures related to labor markets, pension obligations, and healthcare costs. While inflation has moderated, consumer spending patterns and sales tax revenues remain susceptible to economic shifts and changing behavior.

Additionally, although interest rates have begun to ease, the overall interest rate environment continues to influence borrowing costs, investment earnings, and long-term capital planning decisions.

Given these conditions, it remains prudent to anticipate potential economic downturns and ensure the City is well-positioned to respond. We are pleased to report that the City’s audited financial statements as of June 30, 2025, reflect a committed total of $25.4 million in rainy day funds. This amount represents approximately 50 percent of the City’s General Fund operating expenditures and is consistent with the fund balance policy approved by the City Council.

The FY 2025–26 Budget, adopted in June 2025, reflects a balanced financial plan, with General Fund operating expenditures of $47.3 million and estimated revenues of $47.1 million. In addition, one-time transfers totaling $1.0 million—comprised of $800,000 from the Retiree Benefit Reserve and $202,000 from Special Project Reserves—were incorporated to support specific expenditures, resulting in a projected operating surplus of $888,088 as of June 30, 2025.

Throughout the fiscal year, staff may bring forward requests for additional budget appropriations; however, fiscal discipline remains a priority. Any proposed adjustments are evaluated to ensure they do not exceed the projected surplus, allowing the City to preserve a positive year-end balance and continue strengthening its fund balance.

Consistent with the City’s conservative financial management practices, staff also prioritizes the pursuit and use of grant funding before relying on General Fund resources, maximizing external funding opportunities and supporting long-term fiscal sustainability.

General Fund
As of midyear, overall General Fund revenues are projected to increase by $975,000, from $47.3 million to $48.1 million by year-end, with variations among individual revenue sources as follows:
• Business License Tax: A projected increase of $700,000, from the original estimate of $900,000 to $1.6 million, resulting from the Discovery Business Licensing Program initiated in July 2025.
• Utility User’s Tax: A projected increase of $250,000, from the original estimate of $5 million to $5.2 million.

Agenda Report February 10, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:007 Page 3
• Other Revenue: A $25,000 reimbursement from the Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) related to the cybersecurity incident.

Given the overall change, the City remains committed to fiscal responsibility by limiting expenditures and maintaining a conservative spending approach for the remainder of the fiscal year.

At mid-year, General Fund operating expenditures increased by $549,629 from the adopted budget of $47.3 million to $47.8 million at midyear. Of this amount, $268,500 reflects expenditures previously approved by the City Council, while $281,129 is recommended as part of the midyear budget adjustments. These changes result in a revised General Fund operating surplus of $310,659 at year-end.

In light of the revised projections, staff recommends not utilizing the previously approved one-time transfers of $800,000 from the Retiree Benefit Reserve and $202,000 from Special Project Reserves.

Lastly, staff recommends adjusting the transfer budget to reflect the use of $200,000 in State COPS Grant funds to offset Public Safety costs and the use of $118,085 from the unassigned General Fund ARPA Balance.

Administrative Services Department Adjustments
The proposed Midyear Budget Adjustment for the Administrative Services Department totals $155,700, including approximately $144,700 from the General Fund and $11,000 from the Equipment Replacement Fund. These adjustments are primarily focused on enhancing the City’s internet services, strengthening cybersecurity measures, improving the communications system, and upgrading the City’s website to ensure compliance with ADA accessibility requirements. Additional adjustments include funding for Chamber of Commerce scholarships and Memorial Day celebration videos. A detailed schedule of the Midyear expenditure adjustments for the Administrative Services Department is provided in Exhibit A.

Finance Department Adjustments
The proposed Midyear Budget Adjustment for the Finance Department totals $211,450, including approximately $128,150 from the General Fund, $80,000 from the Water Fund, and $3,300 from the Measure M Bond Fund. These adjustments primarily reflect costs related to financial reporting and accounting compliance services, including fees associated with the Discovery Business Licensing program. The $80,000 adjustment in the Water Fund is attributable to the water rate study and the implementation of the online water bill payment system. A detailed schedule of the Midyear expenditure adjustments for the Finance Department is provided in Exhibit A.

Agenda Report February 10, 2026
RESOLUTION NO. 26:007 Page 4
Planning & Building Department Adjustments
The proposed Midyear Budget Adjustment for the Planning and Building Department totals $375,409, including approximately $90,279 from the General Fund, $118,085 from the ARPA General Fund, $150,544 from the General Plan Fund, and $16,500 from other grant funds. These adjustments support air monitoring services, economic analysis services, and residential roof rebate programs. A detailed schedule of the Midyear expenditure adjustments for the Planning and Building Department is provided in Exhibit A.

Public Safety Department Adjustments
The proposed Midyear Budget Adjustment for the Public Safety Department reflects savings totaling $330,500, including approximately $301,000 in the General Fund. These savings are primarily attributable to the relocation of Condor camera costs and animal licensing and canvassing activities, as well as approximately $328,000 in savings related to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) contract due to vacancies in the Special Assignment Officer (SAO) and the Service Area Lieutenant position. A detailed schedule of the Midyear expenditure savings for the Public Safety Department is provided in Exhibit A.

Community Services Department Adjustments
The proposed Midyear Budget Adjustment for the Community Services Department totals $162,500, including approximately $23,000 from the General Fund and $139,500 from the Proposition A Fund. These adjustments provide funding for the Youth Group League and the June 2026 FIFA World Cup Watch Party events. A detailed schedule of the Midyear expenditure adjustments for the Community Services Department is provided in Exhibit A.

Public Works Department Adjustments
The proposed Midyear Budget Adjustment for the Public Works Department totals $566,200, including approximately $196,000 from the General Fund, $47,000 from the AB 939 Grant Fund, $72,000 from the Measure W Fund, and $251,200 from the Water Fund. These adjustments support hazardous waste removal services, roof repairs, field compliance certification training, field equipment, landscape supplies, traffic signage, and the restriping of Jackson Street and Downey Avenue. The $251,200 adjustment in the Water Fund is primarily related to Well 16 electrical requirements, supplies, testing equipment, and operational support services. In addition, Water Fund adjustments include AMI meter installation services and special legal services. A detailed schedule of the Midyear expenditure adjustments for the Public Works Department is provided in Exhibit A.

Special Revenue Funds and Internal Service Fund
Table 2 - The following table summarizes the FY 2025-2026 Proposed Midyear Budget Adjustments to the Special Revenue Funds and Internal Service Funds.

Water Fund
The FY 2025–26 Water Fund operating revenue is estimated at $10.7 million, reflecting the fifth and final year of the approved five-year water rate increase, which took effect in January 2026. Total operating and capital improvement program (CIP) expenditures, excluding depreciation and loan payments, are projected at $10.4 million, resulting in an estimated operating deficit of $300,500 for FY 2025–26.

The projected deficit is primarily attributable to delays in bringing Well 16 online, which have required the City to rely on imported water purchases. These purchases have exceeded typical cost levels by more than $2 million, driven largely by inflationary pressures and market conditions.

For FY 2025–26, the City’s total all-funds Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget is $67.3 million, including FY 2025 carryovers and midyear requests. Of this total, $13.4 million is funded by the Capital Projects Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the midyear review, staff recommends adjustments to the revenues, expenditures, including CIP budgets and transfers between funds, as outlined in the tables above and highlighted below:
• Operating Revenues: General Fund estimated revenues are projected to increase by approximately $975,000. Staff will continue to closely monitor revenue trends and actual receipts to ensure expenditures remain aligned with available resources for the remainder of the fiscal year.
• Grant Revenues: Grant-related revenues will be adjusted, as necessary, to align with corresponding changes in expenditure appropriations, ensuring grant-funded activities remain fully supported.
• Operating and CIP Budget: Increases in appropriation for all funds as itemized in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this report.

In accordance with the City’s budget policy, the City Manager is authorized to make additional accounting and budget adjustments as needed, including transfers of appropriations within an activity that does not impact the total budget by fund. As part of the midyear process, Finance staff also updated estimated beginning fund balances to reflect actual balances reported in the City’s audited financial statements. These adjustments provide a more accurate projection of ending fund balances. The General Fund unassigned fund balance for operation is projected to be $2.7 million as of June 30, 2026.

Approving the proposed mid-year adjustments will provide staff with the budget authority to make needed adjustments and achieve a more accurate budget for the current FY 2025-26 and provide a basis for developing the upcoming FY 2026-27 Budget.
