A. The City Council shall establish by resolution a schedule of per gross acre fee, to be imposed on new development, calculated to provide the sum of money necessary to pay the estimated total capital costs of fire protection and police facilities, as identified in the April 26, 2001, fee study approved by council, to serve new development within the urban growth boundary. The amount of the fee shall be determined by resolution adopted by the City Council and shall be based on the capital cost per acre by general plan land use designation and shall include the cost of the study amortized over a five (5) year period. Following adoption of a fee schedule or a subsequent revised fee schedule, such fee shall become effective sixty (60) days after the adoption thereof by the City Council.
B. Annual review of the fee schedule will be made in the following manner. Each April of each year the chief financial officer shall review the current Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI) for the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco, California. When the average of such indices differs from the average of the indices for the preceding April 1st, the factor of increase or decrease shall be applied to the schedule of fees. Such factor shall be computed by dividing the average ENRCCI for the current April 1st by that pertaining to the previous April 1st. The individual fire protection impact fee and police facilities impact fee rates may be multiplied by said factor to determine the adjusted schedule of fees. The chief financial officer shall present the new fee schedule for adoption by resolution of council after at least one public hearing.
C. At least once every five (5) years, the council shall review the basis for the impact fees to determine whether the fees are still reasonably related to the needs of new development. If it is necessary to update the previously approved fee study to do so, council may amortize the cost of doing so over the following five (5) year period and include such cost as an element of the impact fee.
