Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On December 3, 2025, The Natomas Basin Conservancy (TNBC) Board of Directors recommended that the City of Sacramento increase the Natomas Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (NBHCP) fee due to increases in annual administration and operations and maintenance costs.

Developers of land covered by the NBHCP within North and South Natomas currently pay an HCP fee of $47,031 per gross acre of development ($33,281 per acre with land dedication). The Conservancy economic consultant - Economic & Planning Systems (EPS) - completed an update of the HCP Finance Model based on actual costs, as well as estimated costs, that indicates a necessity to adjust fees in order to successfully implement the HCP. Under the terms of the 2003 NBHCP Implementation Agreement between the City and the state and federal wildlife agencies, the City agreed to have its NBHCP “Plan Operator” (Conservancy) update the HCP Finance Model annually for the life of the HCP.

The HCP Fee revenue pays for the land acquisition, restoration and enhancement, administration and operations and maintenance, operations and maintenance endowment, and supplemental endowment funds associated with implementing the HCP and mitigating impacts of urban development on the species covered under the NBHCP. Based on the Finance Model update and the judgment of the Conservancy Board, the City Council is requested to approve an increase of $536 for the HCP fee that does not have land dedication and an increase of $536 to the HCP with land dedication, resulting in a 2026 fee of $47,567 per gross acre of development ($33,817 with land dedication). There is no obligation of the General Fund associated with this requested fee adjustment.

Full Fee (no land dedication) $43,968 $45,565 $46,009 $47,031 $47,567 Fee with Land Dedication $27,718 $29,815 $32,259 $33,281 $33,817 Policy Considerations: The 2003 NBHCP was approved by City Council on May 13, 2003, the federal Incidental Take Permit (ITP) was issued by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on June 27, 2003, and the amended state ITP was issued by California Department of Fish and Game on July 10, 2003.

On an annual basis, the City considers a fee adjustment to ensure adequacy of the funding to implement the 2003 NBHCP and comply with the ITP and the related Implementation Agreement.

Economic Impacts: Not applicable.

Environmental Considerations:

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The City Council’s action in approving this resolution is solely for the purpose of establishing an adequate Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) fee to be used to implement the HCP and is therefore not a project for the purpose of the CEQA pursuant to Guidelines section 15378(b)(4). Previous environmental review has been conducted related to the North Natomas Community Plan, the 2003 NBHCP Final Environmental Impact Report, and the Comprehensive Drainage Plan, among others.

Sustainability: Periodic review and adjustment of the HCP fee is consistent with and supportive of the sustainable practice of preservation of prime farmland and critical habitat resources.

Commission/Committee Action: The Conservancy Board of Directors reviewed the proposed fees on December 3, 2025 and recommended an increase be made to the NBHCP fee. Their adopted resolution is included as Attachment 3.

Rationale for Recommendation: The HCP fees are adjusted annually, prior to the commencement of the grading season (May 1). The Conservancy recommends an increase to the current fee to maintain adequate funding to implement the HCP and mitigate impacts of urban development on the

species covered by it. (See Attachment 3 - the Conservancy resolution to increase the HCP fee 2026 rate.)
Financial Considerations: There is no obligation of the General Fund associated with this requested fee adjustment.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.

Background:

History of the NBHCP Fee
On August 7, 1997, the City Council added Chapter 84.10 to Title 84 (currently Chapter 18.40 of Title 18) of the City Code, which created and established the authority for the NBHCP fee to fund the costs of implementing the NBHCP (Ord. No. 97-046). Chapter 18.40 directs the City Council, by resolution, to set the amount of the fee. The chapter also contemplates the periodic revision of the fee by resolution of the Council.

The history of the NBHCP fee rate is shown in the graphics and table below. As shown, it increased dramatically following the approval of the 2003 NBHCP and the years immediately following. This increase was due to the enhanced mitigation necessitated by ligation and set forth in the 2003 revised NBHCP, as well as a continued and sustained increase in land prices. The fee is adjusted when required and has only been adjusted seven times since 2014 after four years of annual decreases. In 2017, there was a decrease of $659 in the fee largely due to an increase in estimated crop land lease revenue per acre used to offset the Administration and Operation and Maintenance Costs. In 2018, there was an increase in the fee of $1,491 which reflected the change in the estimated annual Endowment fund management fees paid by the Conservancy. The most recent adjustment in 2025 amounted to an increase of $1,022 which was largely attributable to increases in administration, operations, and maintenance costs in addition to an increase in costs associated with mitigation land restoration and enhancement.

Date HCP Fee / Gross Acre Resolution No.

The table above shows the history of the NBHCP Fees. As shown in the table, the HCP Fee reached a high in 2010 at $44,050 per gross acre ($26,550 w/land dedication). Sixteen years later, the HCP is not significantly higher.

The Conservancy is the plan operator of the NBHCP. The Conservancy acquires mitigation land and implements management and enhancement measures necessary to meet the mitigation requirements of the NBHCP. With best available information regarding current and projected costs associated with implementation of the 2003 NBHCP, Conservancy staff worked with its economic consultant EPS to update the HCP Finance Model. Based on the economic model and the judgment of the Conservancy, an increase adjustment is needed to accurately reflect the current costs of operating the HCP and thus should be reflected in the HCP fee.

Justification for Adjusting the HCP Fee
Each December, the Conservancy considers whether a fee adjustment is necessary to implement the NBHCP given current assumptions. The current fee is $47,031 per gross acre of development ($33,281 per acre with land dedication); the proposed fee would be increased to $47,567 ($33,817 per acre with land dedication) based on the NBHCP Finance Model and the Conservancy analysis.

The NBHCP Fee is made up of five major parts:

Page 5 of 7 ends

File ID: 2026-00162 2/24/2026
1) Land Acquisition,
2) Restoration and Enhancement,
3) Administration and Operation and Maintenance (O&M),
4) O&M Endowment, and
5) Supplemental Endowment.

The fifth component - the Supplemental Endowment -- was added (at the request of the City) in June 2001 to provide assurances that the last 200 acres of required mitigation land will be purchased after all the fee revenue has been collected. The Supplemental Endowment may also be used for unforeseen circumstances expenses.

Unlike the Supplemental Endowment part of the fee, the O&M Endowment Fund is used to maintain the preserve lands in perpetuity after build-out of the plan area and all development fee revenue has been collected.

A small sixth component is allocated to the City for administrative purposes including fee collection (2% of the fee).

Compared to the 2025 fee, the proposed 2026 fee represents a fee increase of 1.1% (without land dedication) or a 1.6% fee increase (with land dedication). The increase is largely attributable to increases in annual administration and operations and maintenance costs.

The Conservancy is obligated to submit a fee recommendation each year that ensures its ability to successfully implement the NBHCP. A copy of the full fee study (dated November 2025) is available for review at the City Planning Office, 300 Richards Blvd., 3rd Floor, Sacramento, CA 95811, and as Attachment 4 of this report.

Land Dedication Requirement
Since 2003, all large mitigation efforts have been accomplished through land dedication by the developers to the Conservancy, as opposed to payment of the Land Acquisition portion of the NBHCP fee. In April 2005, the City Council voted to require developers of 50+ acres to dedicate land in lieu of the full fee payment - unless the Conservancy deemed it had adequate surplus land such that accepting fees over dedication was helpful to the NBHCP’s implementation. On May 4, 2006, the City Council extended this provision to May 1, 2007. On February 13, 2007, the City Council extended the land dedication in-lieu requirement without a sunset date. No change in this requirement is proposed in this report.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-

Adopted by the Sacramento City Council

February 24, 2026

Adjusting the Amount of the Habitat Conservation Fee Established Pursuant to Chapter 18.40 of Title 18 of the City Code

BACKGROUND

A. On August 7, 1997, the City Council of the City of Sacramento adopted Ordinance No. 97-046, which added Chapter 84.10 to Title 84 (now Title 18, Chapter 18.40) of the City Code, which created and established the authority for the Habitat Conservation Fee, which is used to fund the costs of implementation of the Natomas Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Chapter 18.40 of Title 18 directs the City Council, by resolution, to set the specific amounts of the fee and the manner in which the fee is to be paid.

B. On September 2, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-508, establishing the specific amounts of the Habitat Conservation Fee and the manner in which the fee is to be paid.

C. Section 18.40.080 of Title 18 of the City Code contemplates periodic revision of the Habitat Conservation Fee by resolution of the City Council.

D. The Natomas Basin Conservancy (TNBC), a non-profit public benefit corporation, is the entity responsible for administration of the Natomas Basin HCP, which is funded by the Habitat Conservation Fee.

E. On December 3, 2025, the Board of Directors of TNBC requested that the City of Sacramento adjust the Natomas Basin HCP from the current rate of $47,031 per gross acre to $47,567 per gross acre. If the land dedication option is utilized, the fee would be adjusted from the current $33,281 per gross acre to $33,817 per gross acre. The request is based upon an HCP Finance Model dated November 2025, which established the need for an adjustment in the Habitat Conservation Fee to fund actual costs of administering the HCP.

F. A public hearing on adoption of this resolution to adjust the Habitat Conservation Fee was noticed and set as part of a regularly scheduled hearing for February 24, 2026, at 5:00 PM in the City Council Chamber located at City Hall, 915 I Street, Sacramento, California, 95814.

G. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66017, development fee adjustments become effective sixty (60) days following their adoption.

H. On February 13, 2007, by Resolution 2007-092, the City Council permanently established the land dedication requirement.

BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Findings

The City Council hereby finds as follows:

(a) All provisions set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated by reference as findings for purposes of this resolution. In addition, those findings and other provisions specified in the Ordinance No. 97-046 are incorporated by reference as findings for purposes of this resolution.

(b) Participating in the HCP is one of several alternatives available for obtaining incidental take protection which a landowner may select to satisfy obligations imposed by the federal and state Endangered Species Acts, the Mitigation Monitoring Plans, and the SAFCA Permit. The HCP itself is designed to serve a number of purposes, including but not limited to the satisfaction of the Mitigation Monitoring Plan requirements specified in the North Natomas Community Plan and requirements of the SAFCA Permit, relating to direct, indirect, and cumulative biological impacts associated with Urban Development in the Permit Area.

(c) Because payment of the Habitat Conservation Fee pursuant to the HCP is only one of the available options for a landowner seeking to satisfy its obligations relating to direct, indirect, and cumulative biological impacts of urban development in the Natomas area, the fee is voluntary in nature and is not a mandatory imposition. It is therefore not legally required to demonstrate the satisfaction of the various nexus tests set forth in Government Code Sections 66000 et. seq. Nevertheless, the Council finds as to the adjusted Habitat Conservation Fee: (i) the amount of fee has been set based upon the HCP Finance Model, dated November 2025, which has been reviewed and considered by the Board of Directors of TNBC, and which has been reviewed and considered by the Council; (ii) the HCP Finance Model represents a rational, fair and equitable method of allocating the costs of implementation of the HCP, and allocates the burden among development projects in a manner which is approximately proportionate to the impacts which may be reasonably anticipated from such development activity; and (iii) the relationship between the Habitat Conservation Fee and the adverse environmental impacts it is designed to mitigate is clearly established in numerous environmental impact reports, including but not limited to those relating to the North Natomas Community Plan and the Comprehensive Drainage Plan for North Natomas, all of which are incorporated by reference as part of the findings supporting this resolution.

(d) The amount of the Habitat Conservation Fee, as adjusted by this resolution, is consistent with the City’s General Plan, the North Natomas and South Natomas Community Plans, the North Natomas Financing Plan, the Mitigation Monitoring Plans and the SAFCA Permit.

Section 2. Amount of Fee

The amount of the Fee, which a landowner may voluntarily select as the landowner’s preferred alternative for satisfaction of its legal obligations to mitigate for the adverse impacts of Urban Development on biological resources, for property located within the Permit Area is set at the rate of $47,567 per gross acre, and if the land dedication option is utilized, the fee is set at the rate of $33,817 per gross acre.

Section 3. Construction of Resolution

The provisions of this resolution are subject and subordinate to the provisions of Chapter 18.40 of Title 18 of the City Code. The definitions set forth in City Code section 18.40.020 apply to the terms used in this resolution.

Section 4. Judicial Action to Challenge this Resolution

Any judicial action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside or annul this resolution shall be brought within 120 days of its adoption.

Section 5. Effective Date

This resolution shall take effect 60 days following adoption of this resolution.

Section 6. Severability

If any section, phrase, sentence or other portion of this resolution for any reason is held or found to be invalid, void, unenforceable or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this resolution.

Adopted by the City of Sacramento City Council on February 24, 2026, by the following vote:

Ayes:

Noes:

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 1 Introduction and Executive Summary

1. Introduction and Executive Summary
Introduction
The Natomas Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (NBHCP or Plan) requires that all new development within the specified NBHCP development area pay a mitigation fee (fee) to be used to establish and maintain habitat land in the Natomas Basin. For each acre of development subject to the fee, the fee provides funds to establish and maintain a half-acre of habitat. Fees are paid by planned development upon issuance of a grading permit. The Natomas Basin Conservancy (Conservancy) acts as the NBHCP’s Plan Operator and receives all NBHCP mitigation fees

1. The NBHCP is a conservation plan
that facilitates development in the Natomas Basin for a 50-year period ending in 2053.

A Finance Model (Model) has been developed to analyze the available revenue and expenditures associated with establishing and maintaining the habitat and to calculate the mitigation fee needed, along with other identified revenue sources, to provide sufficient funding to establish and maintain the habitat. Funding must be provided to establish and maintain the habitat as development occurs and in perpetuity after the entire habitat has been established and all development in the NBHCP fee development area has occurred. In total, 17,500 acres of potential new development have been identified in the NBHCP development area, which would provide for a maximum habitat size of 8,750 acres.

Mitigation Fee Summary
The purpose of this report is to document and present the 2026 update of the NBHCP mitigation fee (fee). This section describes the fee and summarizes the proposed 2026 fee update.

Fee Funds
The fee contains five separately maintained fee funds, one for each of five fee components.

Each fee fund is described briefly below.

Land Acquisition
This fund provides for the acquisition of mitigation lands by the Conservancy. The costs associated with land acquisition are the costs to acquire the land and transaction costs including legal costs, generally speaking. The fund also provides for a contingency in case land costs spike in any given year prior to updating the fee.

1 The Conservancy is also the plan operator for the Metro Air Pa rk Habitat Conservation Plan (MAPHCP). The MAPHCP is linked to the NBHCP for purposes of updating the mitigation fee.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 2 Introduction and Executive Summary Land dedication is required for any development project over 50 acres. For these larger projects, land is dedicated in lieu of paying the land acquisition portion of the NBHCP fee, and only the transaction and contingencies portion of the Land Acquisition fee component would be paid.

Restoration and Enhancement
This fund provides for restoring and enhancing mitigation lands acquired by the Conservancy. For example, the creation of managed marsh would be provided for by the revenues generated in the Restoration and Enhancement (R&E) Fund.

Supplemental Endowment
This fund was established in the 2003 NBHCP and consists of two subcomponents, a 200-Acre Reserve subcomponent and a Changed Circumstance Contingency subcomponent.
200-Acre Reserve
The purpose of the 200-Acre Reserve subcomponent is to accumulate revenue to allow the Conservancy to purchase up to 200 acres of land in advance of all fees being paid or to supplement annual purchases in the case that land prices spike dramatically in any given year.

Changed Circumstance Contingency
The Changed Circumstance Contingency subcomponent is available to use for any unexpected emergencies. After all land is acquired, the revenue accumulated in this portion of the Supplemental Endowment Fund will be retained for future use if needed.

Administration/Operations and Maintenance
This fund provides for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the mitigation lands, including the costs to administer the funds collected from the mitigation fees, insurance, property taxes, water, property management, biological monitoring, etc. This fund is projected to exist in perpetuity. After year 50 of the Plan, the Administration/Operations and Maintenance (Admin/O&M) Fund revenues will be supplemented by interest earnings from the Operations and Maintenance Endowment Fund.

Operations and Maintenance Endowment
The Operations and Maintenance Endowment (O&M Endowment) Fund is structured as an endowment, such that fee revenue is accumulated as principal that will earn interest income over time. The interest income is used to subsidize funding for the Admin/O&M Fund after all fee-paying development has occurred and all habitat has been acquired.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 3 Introduction and Executive Summary 2026 Fee Update
Table 1-1 summarizes the proposed 2026 fees by component, and subcomponent where applicable, and provides a comparison to the 2025 fees. The 2026 fee reflects a very small increase over the 2025 fee, mostly caused by increases in annual administration and operations and maintenance costs, as detailed later this report.

Table 1-1. NBHCP Mitigation Fee Summary and Comparison

As discussed in the previous section, many fee payers are required to dedicate land and pay only the land transactions and contingency portion of the Land Acquisition fee.

Consequently, the two land acquisition subcomponents of the fee are shown in the table above. In addition, the total fee with and without the land cost component are shown. Further, the fees for each of the two subcomponents of the Supplemental Endowment Fund are shown, as these components have different purposes and the corresponding funds are treated differently after all development has occurred (see above description of Supplemental Endowment Fund).

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 4 Introduction and Executive Summary Fee History
The NBHCP mitigation fee was established in 1996 with four fee components. The Supplemental Endowment fee component was added in 2001, at which time the current five fee components had all been established. The following two charts show the history of the fee. The first chart shows the full fee by component. The second chart shows the fees for all components except the land cost portion of the Land Acquisition fee.

As shown in both charts, the Admin/O&M and O&M Endowment fees together make up the majority of the total fee. The R&E and Supplemental Endowment fees are relatively minor portions of the total fee. When applicable, the Land Acquisition fee makes up a significant portion of the total fee (see Chart 1-1). Chart 1-2 shows the applicable fee components for those fee payers who dedicate land.

Key Variables
For each fee fund, several key variables are instrumental in determining the fee level.

The most significant variables are listed in the table below and discussed in more detail in the remaining report chapters and appendices. This report contains a chapter and an appendix that corresponds to each fund. Table 1-2 indicates the chapter and appendix that discuss each fund and key variables for that fund. Note that the key variables for the Admin/O&M Fund and the O&M Endowment Fund are the same, as both funds are used to fund the administration and maintenance of the habitat.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 7 Introduction and Executive Summary Cash Flow Analysis
A cash flow is established for each fund for use in estimating the required fees. The cash flows for the individual funds are discussed in the remaining chapters and appendices of this report. For modeling purposes in this 2026 fee update, the cash flow years are identified as shown below:
2026 Fee Update
• Historical Years: 1996-2024
• Current Year: 2025
• Budget Year: 2026
• Future Years: 2027-2053
The cash flows are based on the assumption that any remaining funds in 2052, except for the funds in the Changed Circumstance Contingency component of the Supplemental Endowment Fund, will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund for use in maintaining the habitat in perpetuity. Table 1-3 summarizes the annual cash flows for all funds over the entire time period in which the fee program is in effect.

2. Land Acquisition Fund
Introduction and Fee Summary
This chapter summarizes the Land Acquisition Fund key assumptions, fee calculation, and cash flow analysis, as well as changes to the assumptions and methodology used to calculate the proposed fee. Appendix A provides further detail on each of these items.

Table 2-1 below summarizes the Land Acquisition fee and compares it to the fee from the prior year. Note that most fee payers dedicate land in lieu of paying the Land Acquisition Cost portion of the fee. All fee payers, however, are required to pay the Transaction Costs and Contingency portion of the Land Acquisition fee.

Table 2-1. Land Acquisition Fee Summary and Comparison

Chart 2-1 on the next page shows the historical Land Acquisition fees for each year since the fee program was implemented in 1996. As shown in the above table and Chart 2-1, there is no change in the 2026 land acquisition fee over the 2025 land acquisition fee.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 9 Land Acquisition Fund Chart 2-1. Land Acquisition Fee per Developed Acre

Purpose and Methodology
The Land Acquisition Fund provides for the acquisition of mitigation lands by the Conservancy. The costs associated with land acquisition are the costs to acquire the land and associated transaction and legal costs. The fund also provides for a contingency in case land costs spike in any given year before updating the fee. Once all land is acquired to meet mitigation requirements, this fund will no longer be necessary, and any remaining funds will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund.

Land dedication is required for any development project over 50 acres. For these larger projects, land dedicated is in lieu of paying the land acquisition portion of the NBHCP fee, and only the transaction and contingencies portion of the Land Acquisition fee component would be paid.

The NBHCP requires that one-half acre of habitat be purchased and maintained for each acre of development in the NBHCP area. The land acquisition fee per acre of development is calculated as one-half of the estimated cost per acre of habitat land. The total cost to acquire an acre of habitat land consists of the actual purchase cost plus required legal and transaction costs to establish the land as habitat.

The NBHCP includes 17,500 acres of fee-paying development and 8,750 acres of habitat at the completion of the NBHCP. However, it is currently estimated that a certain amount of development will not occur and that a proportional amount of required habitat will not be established. The current assumption is that 95 percent of development, or 16,625 acres, will occur, resulting in an ultimate habitat size of 8,312.5 acres.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 10 Land Acquisition Fund A Land Acquisition Fund cash flow is established to detail the annual revenue, costs, and fund balances and ensure that sufficient funds are available each year for the purchase of habitat as it is required and becomes available. In addition to fee revenue and interest earnings, the Land Acquisition Fund also occasionally uses transfers from other funds and City of Sacramento (City) loans to fund the acquisition of habitat land.

Key Variables
Table 2-2 summarizes the key variables used to establish the Land Acquisition fee and cash flow. Note that the variables apply to all future years of the NBHCP beyond 2026 and all costs are expressed in current year dollars.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 11 Land Acquisition Fund Changes to Key Variables
Table 2-3 summarizes the key cost variables for both the 2025 and 2026 Models.

There were no changes to these key variables in 2026.

The land acquisition cost estimate in this year’s Model was derived from a broad range of potential land values in the Natomas area and is based on the Conservancy’s knowledge of confirmed recent land transactions, supported by a projection of land price costs from a market analysis prepared by an MAI Appraiser in September 2025.

Table 2-3. Changes to Land Acquisition Key Variables

Cash Flow Analysis Summary
Table 2-4 on the following page summarizes the Land Acquisition Fund cash flow for the following two time periods:
• Actual: 1996—2024
• Projected: 2025—2053
The cash flow shows actual fund activity through 2024 and incorporates the development, cost, and revenue assumptions described previously for 2025 through 2053. It includes fund transfers and loans to ensure that adequate funding is available each year to fund the annual acquisition of the required amount of habitat. It is assumed that all remaining funds in 2052 will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund to be used for the ongoing maintenance of the habitat.

As mentioned above, land dedication is required for any development project over 50 acres. Because of this requirement, all but a few small-acreage fee payers are required to dedicate land in lieu of paying the land cost portion of the fee, and nearly all mitigation land is acquired by the Conservancy through land dedication.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 12 Land Acquisition Fund The Sacramento City Council reauthorized the land dedication requirement for development projects over 50 acres without a sunset provision at its February 13, 2007 meeting. To reflect this requirement, the cash flow analysis assumes that only 15 percent of future fee payers will pay the Land Acquisition Cost portion of the fee, the remaining 85 percent of fee payers will dedicate habitat land, and the Conservancy will purchase only 15 percent of the required habitat.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 14 Restoration and Enhancement Fund Chart 3-1. Restoration and Enhancement Fee per Developed Acre

Purpose and Methodology
The purpose of the R&E Fund is to provide funding to restore and enhance mitigation lands acquired by the Conservancy and to prepare the required associated reports. For example, the creation of managed marsh will be funded by the revenues generated in the R&E Fund. Once all land is acquired and no subsequent restoration and enhancement occurs, this fund will no longer be necessary, and any remaining funds will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund.

The majority of the habitat acquired is rice land. The NBHCP requires that the following habitat composition be established by year 50 of the Plan:
• 50 percent rice
• 25 percent marsh
• 25 percent upland (or “Other”)
An R&E Fund cash flow is established to detail the annual revenue, costs, and fund balances and ensure that sufficient funds are available each year for the required conversion of habitat to marsh and upland. The cash flow incorporates a habitat conversion schedule that plans for habitat conversion to meet the habitat composition requirements of the NBHCP summarized above. In addition to fee revenue and interest earnings, the R&E Fund also may occasionally use transfers from other funds to fund the habitat conversion and associated reporting.

Table 3-2. R&E Key Variables

Changes to Key Variables
There were no changes to any of the key variables shown in Table 3-2.

Note that the conversion costs shown in the table above are the costs to convert an entire rice acre to marsh or upland, but because much of each acre of habitat will remain as rice and not require conversion, the conversion cost required for each habitat acre is only a portion of the cost shown. The assumptions used to derive the estimated conversion costs per habitat acre are further detailed in Appendix B.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 18 Supplemental Endowment Fund Chart 4-1. Supplemental Endowment Fee per Developed Acre

Purpose and Methodology
The Supplemental Endowment Fund serves two purposes and is divided into the two subcomponents described below:
• 200-Acre Reserve: The purpose of the 200-Acre Reserve subcomponent is to accumulate revenue to allow the Conservancy to purchase up to 200 acres of land in advance of all fees being paid or to supplement annual purchases in the case that land prices spike dramatically in any given year. Once all land is acquired to meet mitigation requirements, this subcomponent will no longer be necessary, and any remaining funds will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund. • Changed Circumstance Contingency: The Changed Circumstance Contingency subcomponent is available to use for any unexpected emergencies. After all land is acquired, the revenue accumulated in this portion of the Supplemental Endowment Fund will be retained for future use if needed.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 19 Supplemental Endowment Fund The 200-Acre Reserve fee is calculated based on the remaining amount of funding needed to purchase 200 acres of habitat after accounting for the existing fund balance available to partially fund the acquisition if needed.

The Changed Circumstance Contingency fee is based on a set amount per developed acre to accumulate a sufficient balance to be set aside for unforeseen circumstances.

A Supplemental Endowment Fund cash flow is established to detail the annual revenue, costs, and fund balances and ensure that sufficient funds are available each year as contingencies for the acquisition of 200 acres of habitat and for future use if needed for unforeseen circumstances. Occasionally, the Conservancy will use the Supplemental Endowment Fund to provide interfund loans to other funds that need the additional funds for land acquisition, maintenance, or conversion functions. It is assumed that any interfund transfers to other funds will be paid back to the Supplemental Endowment Fund.

Key Variables
Table 4-2 summarizes the key variables used to establish the Supplemental Endowment Fund fee and cash flow. Note that the variables apply to all future years of the NBHCP beyond 2026 and all costs are expressed in current year dollars.

200-Acre Reserve
This subcomponent provides a contingency for purchasing the last 200 acres of the required habitat in the event the cost of habitat acres dramatically increases as the supply decreases, but future large spikes in land prices are not assumed in the Finance Model, and the Supplemental Endowment Fund balances are not shown as being used for land acquisition. Rather, the Model shows the 200-Acre Reserve component funds being transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund once all required habitat land has been acquired. Thus, it is assumed the Supplemental Endowment 200-Acre Reserve component will be used to help fund ongoing administration, operations, and maintenance of the habitat if the funds are not needed for land acquisition. The potential transfer of the 200-Acre reserve component funds to the O&M Endowment Fund helps to keep the Admin/O&M and O&M Endowment fees lower.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 22 Supplemental Endowment Fund Changed Circumstance Contingency
The Changed Circumstance Contingency subcomponent funds are not assumed to be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund after the purchase of all habitat. Rather, they are retained in the Supplemental Endowment Fund because a natural disaster, species listing change, or other unforeseen circumstance would require additional funding, even after the acquisition of all habitat.

Appendix C includes detailed Supplemental Endowment Fund development, cost, and revenue assumptions and a detailed annual Supplemental Endowment cash flow analysis.

Maintenance Fund
Introduction and Fee Summary
This chapter summarizes the Administration/Operations and Maintenance (Admin/ O&M) Fund key assumptions, fee calculation, and cash flow analysis, as well as changes to the assumptions and methodology used to calculate the proposed fee. Appendix D provides further detail on each of these items.

Table 5-1 below summarizes the Admin/O&M fee and compares it to the fee from the prior year.

Note that the Admin/O&M fees below are shown in total as it is impossible to identify the portion of the fee associated with different fund components or activities as was done for all of funds discussed previously in this report. The annual variation in the level and costs of the many fund activities do not allow the fee to be broken down by component. The method for calculating the fee will be discussed later in this chapter and is detailed in Appendix D.

Purpose and Methodology
The purpose of the Admin/O&M Fund is to provide funding for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the mitigation lands, including the costs to administer the funds collected from the mitigation fees, insurance, property taxes, water, property management, biological monitoring, etc. This fund is projected to exist in perpetuity.

After year 50 of the Plan, the Admin/O&M Fund revenues will be supplemented by interest earnings from the O&M Endowment Fund.

The Admin/O&M Fund and the O&M Endowment Fund fees are established to together provide habitat operations and maintenance funding in perpetuity. The two fees are set to provide enough funding so that the Admin/O&M Fund provides sufficient funding for habitat maintenance through 2053 and the O&M Endowment Fund will have built up sufficient earnings by this time to fund the majority of the habitat operations and maintenance functions after 2053. It is also assumed that land lease revenue will continue to be available to help fund habitat operations and maintenance.

An Admin/O&M cash flow is established to detail the annual revenue, costs, and fund balances and ensure that sufficient funds are available to fund operations and maintenance of the habitat through 2053. It includes interfund transfers and loans to ensure that adequate funding is available each year to fund the habitat operations and maintenance.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 25 Administration/Operations and Maintenance Fund Key Variables
Table 5-2 summarizes the key cost and revenue variables used to establish the Admin/ O&M Fund fee and cash flow. Note that the variables apply to all future years of the NBHCP beyond 2026 and all costs and revenues are expressed in current year dollars.

The cost variables include cost assumptions that can be expressed on a per acre basis as well as cost assumptions that are expressed on an annual basis only and cannot be expressed as a per acre cost. For example, the mitigation monitoring cost is not directly related to the number of habitat acres, and so it is expressed on an annual basis.

Table 5-2. Admin/O&M Key Variables

Changes to Key Variables
Table 5-3 summarizes the significant changes to key variables from the previous year.

The projected annual marsh land maintenance contract cost, Conservancy habitat operations and maintenance cost, and fixed asset cost all increased. On a per habitat acre basis, the marsh land maintenance contract cost decreased, while the Conservancy habitat operations and maintenance cost and the fixed asset cost increased. The total projected property taxes for 2026 through 2053 decreased (because of some properties being granted Williamson Act status) while the total administrative costs for the same time period increased. All of the increases and decreases combined result in the small 2026 fee increase shown in Table 5-1 above.

Cash Flow Analysis Summary
Table 5-4 on the next page summarizes the Admin/O&M Fund cash flow for the following two time periods:
• Actual: 1996—2024
• Projected: 2025—2053
The cash flow shows actual fund activity through 2024 and incorporates the development, cost, and revenue assumptions described previously for 2025 through 2053. It is assumed that all remaining funds (except for a relatively small amount designated for specific purposes) will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund in 2052 to be used for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the habitat.

After this transfer, a drawdown on the O&M Endowment Fund will be required to fund the required operations and maintenance activities. The cash flow is structured so that the annual investment earnings in the O&M Endowment Fund in 2053 will equal the annual drawdown required from the Admin/O&M Fund plus estimated annual O&M Endowment Fund management fees payable to the fund administrator.

Introduction and Fee Summary
This chapter summarizes the Operations and Maintenance Endowment (O&M Endowment) Fund key assumptions, fee calculation, and cash flow analysis. Appendix E provides further detail on each of these items.

Table 6-1 below summarizes the O&M Endowment fee and compares it to the fee from the prior year.

Note that, as detailed in the previous chapter, the O&M Endowment fee is calculated in conjunction with the Admin/O&M fee so that the two funds together will provide enough funding to fund the habitat operations and maintenance in perpetuity.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 29 Operations and Maintenance Endowment Fund Chart 6-1. Operations and Maintenanc e Endowment Fee per Developed Acre

Purpose and Methodology
The O&M Endowment Fund is structured as an endowment, such that fee revenue is accumulated as principal that will earn interest income over time. The interest income will be utilized to subsidize funding for the Admin/O&M Fund beginning in 2053, at which time it is assumed that all fee-paying development will have occurred and all habitat will have been acquired.

The Admin/O&M Fund and the O&M Endowment Fund fees are established to together provide habitat operations and maintenance funding in perpetuity. The two fees are set to provide enough funding so that the Admin/O&M Fund provides sufficient funding for habitat maintenance through 2052, and the O&M Endowment Fund will have built up sufficient earnings by that time to fund the majority of the habitat operations and maintenance functions beginning in 2053. It is also assumed that land lease revenue will continue to be available to help fund habitat operations and maintenance.

An O&M Endowment Fund cash flow is established to detail the annual revenue, costs, and fund balances and ensure that sufficient funds are available by 2053 to fund operations and maintenance of the habitat in perpetuity.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 30 Operations and Maintenance Endowment Fund Key Variables
Table 6-2 summarizes the key cost and revenue variables used to establish the O&M Endowment Fund fee and cash flow. In addition, because the O&M Endowment Fund must fund the habitat administration and maintenance beginning in 2053, the Admin/O&M key variables summarized in the previous chapter also directly affect the O&M Endowment Fund fee.

Table 6-2. O&M Endowment Fund Key Variables

Changes to Key Variables
The annual interest earnings rate for 2025 through 2027 increased slightly, and there were no changes to the other percentages shown in the table above.

However, the changes to the Admin/O&M key variables described in the previous chapter also directly affect the O&M Endowment Fund fee, as the O&M Endowment Fund’s purpose is to fund habitat operations and maintenance.

Cash Flow Analysis Summary
Table 6-3 on the next page summarizes the O&M Endowment Fund cash flow for the following two time periods:
• Actual: 1996—2024
• Projected: 2025—2053
The cash flow shows actual fund activity through 2024 and incorporates the development, cost, and revenue assumptions described previously for 2024 through 2053. By 2053, an annual drawdown on the O&M Endowment Fund from the Admin/O&M Fund will be needed to fund the required operations and maintenance activities. The O&M Endowment Fund cash flow is structured so that the annual investment earnings in 2053 will equal the annual drawdown required by the Admin/O&M Fund plus O&M Endowment Fund management fees and taxes.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. A-1 Appendix A
Land Acquisition Fund Technical Notes
The tables in this appendix detail the Land Acquisition Fund fee calculation and the cash flow analysis. These notes detail the methodology and assumptions used in the analysis.

Assumptions and Fee Calculation
Table A-1 summarizes the development, cost, and revenue assumptions needed to calculate the fee and prepare the cash flow analysis. It also shows the calculation of the fee. Most of the assumptions have been discussed in Chapter 2 or are used in and detailed in the discussion of further tables in this appendix. Additional detail on the habitat acquisition cost per acre is provided below.

The habitat land acquisition cost estimate in Table A-1 is taken from a broad range of potential land values in the Natomas area and is based on the Conservancy’s knowledge of confirmed recent land transactions, supported by a projection of land price costs from a market analysis prepared by an MAI Appraiser in September 2025.

Development
Table A-2 shows the annual fee-paid development to date and provides a projected development schedule for the remainder of the years through 2053. This schedule reflects an allowance for unusable acres to account for a level of development that is less than the maximum 17,500 acres at buildout of the NBHCP.

Habitat Acquisition
Table A-3 shows the annual habitat acquisition to date and provides a projected annual habitat acquisition schedule for each remaining year through 2053. Under the assumption that a portion of the 17,500 acres will not develop, it is also assumed that the associated acres of habitat needed to satisfy the mitigation requirement of one-half acre of habitat per one acre of development will not be acquired.

Table A-4 provides the backup for the habitat transactions in the current year. The Conservancy anticipates that it will not acquire any additional habitat until needed to maintain the required 200 surplus acres, at which time, it will begin to annually acquire the number of habitat acres needed to keep pace with the habitat required for the projected annual development levels.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. A-2 Appendix A
Note that Table A-3 includes an adjustment to the NBHCP habitat acreage to account for required supplemental mitigation (mitigation required of non-NBHCP fee payers).

As shown in Table A-3, the NBHCP habitat has been reduced to allow for the required supplemental mitigation the Conservancy must provide from its habitat holdings.

City Line of Credit
Table A-5 shows the projected schedule for repayment of the $2 million loan that the City of Sacramento (City) provided to the Conservancy in 2020 for habitat land acquisition. It includes the annual amounts repaid to the City to date, as well as estimated remaining annual amounts. The Conservancy is obligated to repay the City with Land Acquisition development fee revenue. The Conservancy Board of Directors has committed to making an annual payment of $250,000 plus the Land Acquisition Fund fee revenue from City fee payers to the City for any year in which the funds are available. Currently, the Conservancy has repaid the City approximately $1.3 million of the loan and plans to complete payments in 2026.

Cash Flow Analysis
Table A-6 summarizes the Land Acquisition Fund cash flow through the last completed year and provides annual details of development, revenues, costs, and fund balances for all years from the current year through the completion of the NBHCP in 2053. 1996 through 2024
The cash flow summary for this time period shown in Table A-6 reflects actual annual revenues and expenses summed over the entire time period. Table A-7 provides a historical annual cash flow for this time period that shows the actual development activity, costs, revenues, and fund balances in each year. For each year, the account activity has been reconciled to the Conservancy’s end-of-year audited financial statements for the corresponding year.
2025-2053
The annual balances, revenues, and expenses in Table A-6 for each of these years incorporate the development, habitat acquisition, revenue, expense, and City loan repayment assumptions presented in the previous tables in this appendix, as well as transfers to and from funds needed to ensure positive fund balances in all years. It is assumed that any remaining funds in 2052 after all development has occurred and after all habitat has been acquired will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund for use in operating and maintaining the habitat.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. A-3 Appendix A
Fee Revenue and Habitat Acquisition Costs
As discussed previously, the majority of fee payers dedicate land in lieu of paying the Land Acquisition fee. To reflect this level of land dedication, the cash flow assumes that only 15 percent of fee payers will pay the Land Acquisition fee, the remaining 85 percent of fee payers will dedicate habitat land, and the Conservancy will purchase only 15 percent of the required habitat. Thus, the annual fee revenue shown in Table A-6 is calculated on 15 percent of the projected development, and the habitat acquisition costs are calculated on 15 percent of the projected habitat acquisition.

Annual Investment Earnings
As shown in Table A-1, annual investment income is estimated differently for the current year, the budget year, and all other future years. For the current and budget years the annual investment income is estimated based on existing annual and total investments through September of the current year, while for all other future years, it is estimated as 3 percent of the year’s beginning balance.

While the 3 percent rate may not be applicable in the short term, the interest rate is appropriate for use over a long period of time. This interest rate represents a “real rate of return.” Because the cost and revenue projections in the Model are expressed in constant dollars and exclude inflation, the projected annual return on investments also should exclude inflation. The assumed real rate of return of 3 percent, used to project investment income, represents the annual rate of return that could be expected over and above inflation.

[1] The habitat land acquisition cost estimate is taken from a broad range of potential land values in the Natomas area and is based on Conservancy’s knowledge of confirmed recent land transactions, supported by a projection of land price costs from a market analysis prepared by an MAI Appraiser in September 2025. The opinion expressed by the appraiser is that habitat land in the unincorporated area of the Natomas Basin will sell for approximately $25,000 to $30,000 per acre through 2026. With this and other information, including the land prices for recent Conservancy acquisitions, the Conservancy chose to keep the land acquisition cost at $27,500 per acre in this year’s model.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. B-1 Appendix B
Restoration and Enhancement Fund Technical Notes
The tables in this appendix detail the Restoration and Enhancement (R&E) fee calculation and the cash flow analysis. These notes detail the methodology and assumptions used in the analysis.

Assumptions and Fee Calculation
Table B-1 summarizes the cost and revenue assumptions needed to calculate the fee and prepare the cash flow analysis. It also shows the calculation of the fee. Table B-1 provides further detail on the costs and revenues summarized in Chapter 3.

R&E Conversion Costs
Table B-1 shows the conversion costs for each converted acre and each acquired habitat acre. These two costs differ because only a portion of each acquired habitat acre must be converted to marsh or upland to achieve the required habitat percentages shown below:
• 50 percent rice
• 25 percent marsh
• 25 percent upland (or “Other”)
Table B-2 provides the backup for the assumed percentages of each acquired habitat acre that must be converted to marsh and upland to achieve the above required habitat percentages. These conversion percentages are dependent on the assumed initial uses of acquired habitat. The conversion costs per acre are multiplied by the assumed conversion percentage to estimate the conversion costs per acquired habitat acre.

Biological Site Assessment and Preconstruction Survey Costs The cost to conduct a formal biological site assessment and preconstruction survey for acquired mitigation land, as required by the 2003 NBHCP, is based on a total cost per habitat acquisition divided by an estimated 100 acres per acquisition.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. B-2 Appendix B
Contingency Costs
The contingency component of the R&E costs is essential to ensure adequate funding for R&E, particularly given the lag time between when the fee is paid (and the habitat preserves are acquired) and when the R&E occurs.

The Conservancy generally has 3 years to restore and enhance the designated preserves after approval of the Site-Specific Management Plan (SSMP), which comes 1 year after acquisition.

Habitat Status
Table B-3 shows the current habitat status, including the current number of rice, marsh, and upland acres and the division between NBHCP mitigation and supplemental mitigation. It also shows the habitat status for the prior year and the anticipated status for the next year. The allocation of habitat acres between rice, marsh, and upland acres for the previous and current year has been reconciled with the Conservancy’s current inventory of acres.

Land Development, Habitat Acquisition, and Conversion
Schedule
Table B-4 details the projected habitat conversion schedule for converting habitat acres to upland and marsh. It includes a summary through the last completed year and provides annual details of habitat acquisition and conversion for all years from the current year through the completion of the NBHCP in 2053. The Conservancy provided the number of acres converted to marsh and upland in the current year and planned to be converted in the next year. Beginning in 2027, the Model is based on the assumption that enough rice acres will be converted to marsh and upland so that the mitigation land use allocation required by the NBHCP will be achieved by 2032 and maintained thereafter.
1996 through 2024
The schedule for this time period shown in Table B-4 reflects actual development, habitat acquisition and conversion summed over the entire time period. Table B-5 provides a historical annual habitat conversion schedule for this time period that shows the actual development activity, habitat acquisition, and conversion in each year. 2025-2053
The annual schedule in Table B-4 for each of these years shows the projected development, habitat acquisition, and habitat conversion based on assumptions presented earlier in this report.

Cash Flow Analysis
Table B-6 summarizes the R&E Fund cash flow through the last completed year and provides annual details of development, revenues, costs, and fund balances for all years from the current year through the completion of the NBHCP in 2053. 1996 through 2024
The cash flow summary for this time period shown in Table B-6 reflects actual annual revenues and expenses summed over the entire time period. Table B-7 provides a historical annual cash flow for this time period that shows the actual development activity, costs, revenues, and fund balances in each year. For each year, the account activity has been reconciled to the Conservancy’s end-of-year audited financial statements for the corresponding year.
2025-2053
The annual balances, revenues, and expenses in Table B-6 for each of these years incorporate the development, habitat acquisition and conversion, revenue, and expense, assumptions presented in the previous tables in this appendix, as well as transfers to and from funds needed to ensure positive fund balances in all years. It is assumed that any remaining funds after all development has occurred and after all habitat has been acquired will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund for use in operating and maintaining the habitat.

Annual Investment Earnings
As shown in Table B-1, annual investment income is estimated differently for the current year, the budget year, and all other future years. For the current year, the annual investment income is estimated as equal to the investment income in the September Profit and Loss Statement. For the budget year, annual income is estimated as 1 percent of the total investments on the September balance sheet, and for all other future years, it is estimated as 3 percent of the year’s beginning balance.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. C-1 Appendix C
Supplemental Endowment Fund Technical Notes
The tables in this appendix detail the Supplemental Endowment fee calculation and the cash flow analysis. These notes detail the methodology and assumptions used in the analysis.

Assumptions and Fee Calculation
Table C-1 summarizes the development and cost assumptions needed to calculate the fee and shows the calculation of the fee. Table C-1 provides further detail on the costs summarized in Chapter 4. It includes the costs for both the 200-Acre Reserve and the Changed Circumstance subcomponents of the fee. The Supplemental Endowment fee is calculated based on the amount of revenue needed to purchase 200 acres of land plus the cost to fund the Changed Circumstance component, which is a fixed amount per acre.

As shown in Table C-1, the amount of revenue needed to purchase 200 acres of land is equal to the revenue needed in addition to the existing Supplemental Endowment Fund revenue. The existing revenue is equal to the estimated balance in the Supplemental Endowment Fund at the end of the current year plus the amount owed to the Supplemental Endowment Fund from other funds.

Cash Flow Analysis
Table C-2 summarizes the Supplemental Endowment Fund cash flow through the last completed year and provides annual details of development, revenues, costs, and fund balances for all years from the current year through the completion of the NBHCP in 2053.
1996 through 2024
The cash flow summary for this time period shown in Table C-2 reflects actual annual revenues and expenses summed over the entire time period. Table C-3 provides a historical annual cash flow for this time period that shows the actual development activity, costs, revenues, and fund balances in each year. For each year, the account activity has been reconciled to the Conservancy’s end-of-year audited financial statements for the corresponding year.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. C-2 Appendix C
2025-2053
The annual balances, revenues, and expenses in Table C-2 for each of these years incorporate the development, revenue, and expense assumptions presented in the previous tables in this appendix, as well as transfers to and from funds needed to ensure positive fund balances in all years. It is assumed that any remaining funds from the 200-Acre reserve component of the fee after all development has occurred and after all habitat has been acquired will be transferred to the O&M Endowment Fund for use in operating and maintaining the habitat. The funds in the Changed Circumstance Contingency component will be retained in the Supplemental Endowment Fund to be used in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Annual Investment Earnings
As shown in Table C-1, annual investment income is estimated differently for the current year, the budget year, and all other future years. For the current year, the annual investment income is estimated as equal to the investment income in the September Profit and Loss Statement. For the budget year, annual income is estimated as 3 percent of the total investments on the September balance sheet, and for all other future years, it is estimated as 3 percent of the year’s beginning balance.

Administration/Operations and Maintenance Fund
Technical Notes
The tables in this appendix detail the Administration/Operations and Maintenance (Admin/O&M) fee calculation and the cash flow analysis. These notes detail the methodology and assumptions used in the analysis.

Fee Calculation
Table D-1 details the calculation of the Admin/O&M and O&M Endowment Fund fees.

As described in Chapters 5 and 6, the Admin/O&M and O&M Endowment fees are established to together provide habitat operations and maintenance funding in perpetuity. The two fees are set to provide enough funding so that the Admin/O&M Fund provides sufficient funding for habitat maintenance through 2052, and the O&M Endowment Fund will have built up sufficient earnings by 2053 to fund the required revenue after that time.

Admin/O&M Assumptions
Table D-2 summarizes the Admin/O&M assumptions that are used to establish the cash flow analysis and estimate the fee. Tables D-3 through D-10 provide additional detail on the cost assumptions.

O&M Costs
O&M costs are divided into the following categories:
• O&M costs included in the habitat land management contract for managing the marsh portion of the mitigation land.
• Annual O&M costs that are not part of the habitat land management contract. - O&M costs incurred by the Conservancy.
- Estimated Conservancy costs for replacing fixed assets.

As shown in Table D-2, the O&M land maintenance cost per acre is estimated as the current habitat land management contract amount (including a 10 percent contingency) divided by the current number of marsh acres. This cost per marsh acre is multiplied by the annual number of marsh acres to estimate the total annual land maintenance costs.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. D-2 Appendix D
Table D-3 shows the ongoing O&M costs that are not part of the O&M habitat land management contract. These costs were updated based on estimates from the Conservancy. Table D-4 includes an accounting of the Conservancy’s fixed assets for which replacement costs are estimated. This table shows the original fixed asset costs, as well as the costs updated to current dollars, using a 3 percent annual cost inflation, and an estimate of the total estimated annual replacement cost per habitat acre. Table D-4 also shows the current estimated accrued replacement fund for fixed assets.

Special Assessments
Special assessments consist of Natomas Central Mutual Water Company (NCMWC), Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau), and Reclamation District 1000 (RD 1000) costs. The Bureau costs are not included in the Model, as they only incurred for two properties and are negligible.

NCMWC Costs
Table D-5 details the NCMWC cost estimate per habitat acre. The current assumptions concerning the NCMWC rates and the entity that is responsible for the payments are summarized below:
• The rates are based on the NCMWC 2025 published rates. It is anticipated there will be a rate increase in 2026, so the 2025 rates for all NCMWC components have been increased by 3 percent to estimate the rates in 2026 dollars. In addition, it is assumed that 15 percent of the acres will be excluded from NCMWC assessments.
• For rice acreage, it is assumed that the Conservancy will pay NCMWC’s administration and standby service charges only, while the farmers under lease agreements will be responsible for paying the annual water toll and winter water charges directly to NCMWC. The Conservancy is required, as stated in the 2003 NBHCP, to ensure that rice is produced on certain mitigation land. For this purpose, the Conservancy has included an allowance to fund farmer defaults on NCMWC payments, estimated at 5 percent of all farmer-paid costs. • For uplands acreage, it is assumed that the Conservancy will pay the administration and standby service charges only, while the farmers will be responsible for paying the annual water toll and winter water charges directly to NCMWC.
• The Conservancy pays the full cost of water applied to managed-marsh complexes.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. D-3 Appendix D
RD-1000 Costs
Table D-6 details the RD-1000 annual cost per acre for 2024, 2025, and 2026. The 2024 and 2025 amounts are actual costs based on property tax bills and updates provided by RD-1000. RD-1000 added an additional storm water assessment beginning in Fiscal Year 2023-24, resulting in a higher assessment. For the purposes of estimating annual costs in future years, the 2026 RD-1000 cost is divided by the habitat size in acres to obtain a cost per acre.

Property Taxes
The land acquisition cost per acre is used to project property taxes for future habitat as described below and detailed in Table D-6 and Table D-7. • Existing Habitat Properties. The property taxes for existing habitat properties are detailed in Table D-6. The 2025 property taxes are based on the actual property taxes reported on the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 tax rolls.

The 2026 property taxes for existing habitat are composed of the following two components:
- Property taxes on the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 tax roll. Note that it is assumed that two of the habitat properties will receive Williamson Act status in 2026, resulting in lower property taxes for the existing habitat beginning in 2026, (see Table A-4).
- A 3 percent contingency to address the uncertainty of maintaining reduced property tax levels for Williamson Act properties. In 2014, Sutter County instituted the option to decrease Williamson Act contracts from 10 years to 9 years, as permitted by state law. This option caused an increase in the property taxes on Sutter County properties with Williamson Act contracts. The annual increase has been included on property tax bills since the 2014/2015 tax year.

Although California Senate Bill (SB) 1265 (the reduction in Williamson Act contract lengths) was set to expire at the end of 2015, another Senate Bill (SB 1353) was enacted in September 2014 that incorporated reduction of the contract lengths into the Williamson Act with no termination date. Therefore, it is assumed in the Model that this provision will be extended indefinitely, and the Sutter County tax burden will continue at the higher rates. In addition, property taxes could increase in Sacramento County if it also chooses the option to decrease the length of Williamson Act contracts. • Future Habitat Properties. Table D-7 details the estimated property taxes for 2026 and beyond. This table includes the property taxes for both existing and future projected habitat. Note that the assessed values and property taxes for NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. D-4 Appendix D
future habitat are based on the current estimated land acquisition cost per acre from Table A-1.

In light of the loss of state funding for Williamson Act contracts, Conservancy staff believe that new properties may not be granted Williamson Act contracts.

Consequently, to remain conservative, the annual property taxes for future habitat still to be acquired are calculated as 1.3 percent of the estimated full assessed value of future habitat. This factor consists of the 1 percent property tax and an additional 0.3 percent to cover the additional taxes and assessments on the property tax bills. The only assessment not included in the 0.3 percent is the RD 1000 assessment, which is accounted for separately in the O&M costs discussed previously.

For future years, the Model is based on the assumption that, on average, mitigation land acquisition costs will escalate by 3 percent annually, net of inflation, and the assessed value per acre of new habitat acquisitions will track this 3 percent escalation.

The Conservancy believes the 3 percent net increase closely reflects the actual average increases in habitat land values in the region over the past decade. Annual taxes on new properties are estimated at 1.3 percent of the average assessed value per acre multiplied by the number of new habitat acres.

Site Specific Management Plan Costs
Site Specific Management Plans must be prepared when habitat is acquired.

Additionally annual updates are required. Table D-2 includes estimated Site Specific Management Plan preparation and update costs.

Mitigation Monitoring and Adaptive Management Costs
Table D-8 shows the mitigation monitoring and adaptive management costs, which are divided into categories, as summarized below:
• Biological Effectiveness Monitoring Costs: Costs from the 2025 through 2027 biological effectiveness–monitoring contract.
• Other Costs: Connectivity and adaptive management review costs. • Midpoint Program Review: Costs associated with support for the required City, County, and Metro Air Park midpoint program reviews when development reaches the half-way point of 8,750 acres, currently projected in 2026. • End of Plan Program Review: Costs associated with the required Conservancy program review required at the end of the Plan. This cost was added to the Model in the 2023 Fee Update based on review of the Plan by the Conservancy (see Plan Chapter VI, Section I).

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. D-5 Appendix D
Other than the costs associated with the NBHCP-required program reviews, the pre- acquisition biological reconnaissance (included as a Land Acquisition cost), and the SSMPs (shown in Table D-2 and discussed below), all mitigation monitoring costs are inflated by 3 percent every 5 years until habitat buildout to reflect both likely cost increases, as mitigation land acreage increases to 8,312.5 acres (the ultimate buildout level of the 2003 NBHCP less an adjustment made for undevelopable acreage as described below) and anticipated increases in labor and related monitoring costs throughout the life of the NBHCP. The monitoring cost increases are estimated to occur every 5 years because the monitoring contracts tend to last for 5 years with cost increases occurring with each subsequent contract.

Administrative Costs
Table D-9 details the annual administrative costs and summarizes the annual contract costs for the current, budget, and future years. Annual administrative costs were revised for the budget and future years based on the Conservancy’s current budget estimates. The costs, including contract costs, include a 5 percent contingency for the current and all future years. It is assumed that the total annual administrative and contract costs for all future years will remain constant.

Table D-10 details the contract costs for future years. These costs were estimated by the Conservancy based on expected ongoing contracts. The Conservancy added a 5 percent contingency on all contracts.

Endowment and Supplemental Endowment Fund Management Fees As summarized on Table D-2, the Conservancy’s fund management fees are calculated as 0.5 percent of the first $5 million of the O&M Endowment and Supplemental Endowment combined fund balances, plus 0.35 percent of the remainder of the combined fund balances, resulting in increasing fees as the fund balances increase. The Model reflects this calculation for all future years through 2053, as detailed in the O&M Endowment and Supplemental Endowment cash flow tables.

Excise Tax
Based on a letter provided from Gilbert CPAs, dated August 11, 2023, the Conservancy currently qualifies as a tax exempt 501(c)(3) publicly supported foundation because more than 10 percent of all Conservancy revenues come from public support in the form of mitigation fees. In 2052, when no mitigation fees will be collected, the Conservancy will no longer pass the fee revenue public support test.

While there are additional ways to qualify for tax exempt 501(c)(3) status that could apply to the Conservancy, an application to change from private foundation status would be required, and the decision to approve this application is uncertain. Because of NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. D-6 Appendix D
this uncertainty, an excise tax of 1.39 percent has been included on all revenues the Conservancy earns each year after all habitat has been acquired (2053 and beyond).

Rice and Other Crop Revenue Estimates
Table D-2 shows the revenue per acre assumptions for rice and other crop land lease revenue and for miscellaneous revenue.

Rice Lease Revenue
The Model is based on the assumption that rent revenue will be earned on 90 percent of the total rice acres in the habitat, with the remaining 10 percent assumed to be required fallow fields, which produce very low or no cash rents.

Other Crop Lease Revenue
It is assumed that 25 percent of the habitat upland acreage will be committed to commercial farming of crops other than rice, and the other 75 percent will not be farmed and will provide foraging vegetation for Swainson’s hawks. The current lease rate assumption on Table D-2 is based on the Conservancy’s actual earnings from non- rice farm leases in recent years and is blended with certain leases where Swainson’s hawk friendly crops are grown for the benefit of the hawk but which otherwise generate less revenue than conventional farming arrangements.

Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous revenues can include contract payments, various reimbursements, and hunting revenues. The estimated annual miscellaneous revenue shown on Table D-2 is based on the Conservancy’s knowledge of realized and expected revenue.

Cash Flow Analysis
Table D-11 summarizes the Admin/O&M cash flow through the last completed year and provides annual details of development, revenues, costs, and fund balances for all years from the current year through the completion of the NBHCP in 2053. 1996 through 2024
The cash flow summary for this time period shown in Table D-11 reflects actual annual revenues and expenses summed over the entire time period. Table D-12 provides a historical annual cash flow for this time period that shows the actual development activity, costs, revenues, and fund balances in each year. For each year, the account activity has been reconciled to the Conservancy’s end-of-year audited financial statements for the corresponding year.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. D-7 Appendix D
2025-2053
The annual balances, revenues, and expenses in Table D-11 for each of these years incorporate the development, habitat acquisition and conversion, revenue, and expense, assumptions presented in the previous tables in this appendix, as well as transfers to and from funds needed to ensure positive fund balances in all years. In 2053, after all development has occurred and habitat has been acquired, the Admin/O&M Fund will be supplemented by O&M Endowment Fund investment earnings in the form of drawdowns on the O&M Endowment Fund to provide funding for the required habitat operations and maintenance functions.

Annual Investment Earnings
As shown in Table D-2, annual investment income is estimated differently for the current year, the budget year, and all other future years. For the current year, the annual investment income is estimated as equal to the investment income in the September Profit and Loss Statement. For the budget year, annual income is estimated as 1 percent of the total investments on the September balance sheet, and for all other future years, it is estimated as 3 percent of the year’s beginning balance.

Operations and Maintenance Endowment Fund
Technical Notes
The tables in this appendix detail the Operations and Maintenance Endowment (O&M Endowment) Fund cash flow analysis. These notes detail the methodology and assumptions used in the analysis.

Cash Flow Analysis
Table E-1 summarizes the O&M Endowment Fund cash flow through the last completed year and provides annual details of development, revenues, costs, and fund balances for all years from the current year through the completion of the NBHCP in 2053.
1996 through 2024
The cash flow summary for this time period shown in Table E-1 reflects actual annual revenues and expenses summed over the entire time period. Table E-2 provides a historical annual cash flow for this time period that shows the actual development activity, costs, revenues, and fund balances in each year. For each year, the account activity has been reconciled to the Conservancy’s end-of-year audited financial statements for the corresponding year.
2025-2053
The annual balances, revenues, and expenses in Table E-1 for each of these years incorporate the development and O&M Endowment revenue and expense assumptions presented in Chapter 6. Beginning in 2053, after all fee-paying development has occurred and all habitat has been acquired, accumulated investment income in the O&M Endowment Fund will provide funding to the Admin/O&M Fund for the required habitat operations and maintenance functions. As detailed previously, the O&M Endowment Fund fee has been estimated to ensure that the O&M Endowment Fund will have accumulated a large enough fund balance by 2053 to ensure that there is sufficient funding available for the ongoing habitat operations and maintenance functions in perpetuity.

NATOMAS BASIN HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN FEE UPDATE—2026

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. E-2 Appendix E
Annual Investment Earnings
The annual interest earnings assumptions are summarized in Chapter 6. For the current year, the budget year, and the first future year after the budget year, the annual investment income is estimated as the prior year’s ending balance multiplied by the average investment earnings rate for the past 10 years. For all other future years, the annual investment income is estimated as 3 percent of the year’s beginning balance. The rationale for these rates is detailed below.

Average Rate for Current Year, Budget Year, and First Future Year Because of the significant and growing size of the O&M Endowment Fund, there is the potential for shifts in the O&M Endowment Fund investment earnings to have an undue influence on the annual fee update. Significant short-term swings in investment earnings are expected and generally accounted for by quick recovery in the following years. This dynamic has occurred in previous years, such as 2008 through 2012, where the O&M Endowment Fund experienced a significant decrease due to investment losses and recovered within 4 years.

Because of this dynamic, the Finance Model was revised in recent years to smooth the impacts of volatility seen in longer term investment funds. In previous years, investment earnings for the current year have been based on activity through September of that year. At the Conservancy’s request, EPS incorporated a modeling change to estimate the investment earnings for the near-term (current year, budget year, and first future year after the budget year) based on the average annual returns for the O&M Endowment Fund realized by the Conservancy for the past 10 years. This adjusted methodology accounts for the long-term nature of the O&M Endowment Fund investments and is responsive to requests from the City Council and the Conservancy Board of Directors to ensure that the annual Fee update is not dependent on temporary upturns or downturns in financial markets.

All Other Future Years
While the 3 percent rate may not be applicable in the short term, the interest rate is appropriate for use over a long period of time. This interest rate represents a “real rate of return.” Because the cost and revenue projections in the Model are expressed in constant dollars and exclude inflation, the projected annual return on investments also should exclude inflation. The assumed real rate of return of 3 percent, used to project investment income, represents the annual rate of return that could be expected over and above inflation.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. F-1 Appendix F
Conservancy Budget Technical Notes
The tables in this appendix detail the Conservancy 2026 budget.

Table F-1 shows the revenues and expenses in the Conservancy’s proposed 2026 budget. For comparison purposes, this budget table also shows the estimated 2025 revenues and expenditures, as well as the source of the 2025 estimates.

Both the 2025 and 2026 amounts from Table F-1 are reflected in the cash flow tables for each of the funds. The budget amounts are based on a variety of factors, including Model assumptions, experience by the Conservancy with particular activities, expected development and habitat acquisition, and the Conservancy’s knowledge of other expected activities in the coming year. The 2026 Budget contains a discussion of the source of each revenue and cost estimate.

Table F-2 provides the backup for the 2025and 2026 fee revenue in Table F-1. The 2025 fee revenue is shown by fund and is based on the fee revenue collected thus far in 2025, as reflected on the Conservancy September profit and loss statement. The 2026 fee revenue is shown by jurisdiction (City of Sacramento, Metro Air Park, Sutter County) and fund and is based on the proposed fees and estimated acres of fee-paying development to occur in 2025.

Table F-3 provides the backup for the projected 2025 and 2026 investment income included in the budget. The earnings assumptions summarized in Table F-3 were detailed in the previous appendices.
