SUMMARY
State Government Code Section 66000 requires local agencies assessing Development Impact Fees (DIFs) and sewer capacity charges to make available specified financial data to the public each fiscal year. These reports satisfy that requirement and have been available in the City Clerk's Office for public review since December 1, 2014. An equivalent report for the Parkland Acquisition and Development (PAD) fees is included in this report for ease of reference and convenience to the public.
Local agencies are also required to make findings every five years for any DIF funds remaining unexpended. These findings must identify the purpose of the fee and demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it was charged. In the 2012 report, the City identified unexpended funds that were on deposit for five or more years and elected to make the required findings. No findings are required this year.
