(A) Each public body and public service provider shall periodically prepare a study to assess the need for additional public facilities. The study may consist of a detailed examination or analysis of existing public facilities, service standards and/or research regarding sites.
(B) Such study should also reflect:
(1) Development occurring in the prior years;
(2) Public facilities actually constructed or provided;
(3) Changing public facility needs;
(4) Inflation;
(5) Revised cost estimates for public facilities;
(6) Changes in the availability of other funding sources applicable to public facility projects or activities; and
(7) Such other factors as may be relevant.
(C) Each public body or public service provider shall maintain on file with the City Clerk its most recent needs assessment study. In addition, the city may request, as a condition of calculating or disbursing any development impact fees from any particular residential development, that the public body or public service provider certify that the needs assessment study on file with the City Clerk reasonably reflects such public body’s or public service provider’s need for public facilities. Two or more public bodies or public service providers may join together in the preparation of a needs assessment provided the assessment ultimately contains the information required under this subchapter for each service area served by each such public body and/or public service provider.
