Genesis Airport Presentation Justin Finestone, Communications Recorded 3 03/18/08 Eagle River Fire Protection District Impact Fees Charlie Moore, Eagle River Fire Protection District (ERFPD) NOTE: Tabled from 12/18/2007 ACTION: The purpose of this hearing is to consider the approval of ERFPD impact fee schedule by resolution and the Intergovernmental Agreement between the ERFPD and Eagle County regarding implementation and administration of the district's impact fee program. LOCATION: Within the ERFPD boundaries DISCUSSION: Charlie Moore, Chief of the ERFPD presented their request. Bruce Mielke and Amy Greer were also present as financial planning assistants for the district. Tom Pippin was present - his firm did the survey related to this issue. Mr. Pippin presented a brief presentation. He defmed the impact fees. These fees will only apply to new development to support infrastructure. Operational costs or staffing are not eligible. Impact fees must be fair to new development and will allow the district to maintain the same level of service for new development. The equation is simple. The numerator on the top of the division is what needs to bought or built to support new growth divided by number of new households / square feet. With impact fees, the district will be able to provide the same level of service as growth occurs. Over the 20 year, study period 7200 new single-family units will be built. Not all Fire District projects can be loaded into impact fees. Repair and replacement of facilities would not be covered. The grand total of $12,000,000 would cover the buildings and the vehicles needed to cover these 7200 units. The need is $1671 per new dwelling unit. Chief Moore spoke about the exclusion of employee housing. He indicated that these units would be excluded from these fees. Commissioner Fisher asked about deed restricted units and whether they would be excluded. Chief Moore indicated that he believed that would be the case. Mr. Pippin added that the impact fee would affect housing prices as being passed on to the home purchaser in varying degrees. If the entire amount were borne by the home purchaser, it would only increase a monthly mortgage payment by about $9.50 per month. Commissioner Fisher wondered if the Fire District reduced its mill levy in the past year. Chief Moore stated that they did not reduce it. The Board of Directors spent a lot of time considering this possibility - but they needed the additional money to cover operating expenses. Part of the increase was spent on a new ladder truck for about $1,000,000 to replace a 30-year-old truck. They also spent about $500,000 on salary increases, as they were way behind in this area. They hope that they will never need to ask for an additional mill levy increase. The impact fees may allow them to remain stable and possibly even reduce these mill levies in future years. Commissioner Menconi stated that he was in favor of adopting the resolution for the new fees. Chairman Runyon asked about the mill levy increase, which Chief Moore indicated had increased their budget by an aggregate basis of about 1.5 million - so approximately 25 - 30%. He wondered if they had considered next year's tax revenues. He wondered about a rebate. Chief Moore stated that the board had discussed this possibility. Mr. Mielke stated that they had discussed temporary mill levy abatements, and this would be considered in the future years. When this district was approved by the voters it was approved on a shoe string basis. It was anticipated that at some point in the future a mill levy increase would be needed. They are being faced with issues that are not impact fee eligible. Commissioner Runyon asked how the other districts compare in mill levies. Chief Moore stated that their mill levy is the lowest in the county. They have student fire fighter program, which saves a lot per employee per year. Commissioner Runyon asked about the Wolcott projection. He stated that a good proportion of the growth in the Wolcott area would be deed restricted. 4 03/18/08 Chief Moore stated that they were not aware of this. He acknowledged that they would have to make up these fees elsewhere. Commissioner Runyon asked about the proposed water pipe sizes. He wondered if additional revenue would be anticipated due to larger residences and complexes. Mr. Pippin stated that they did not expect to collect more than the $12,000,000 total for impact fees. Commissioner Runyon spoke about the fact that there were no fees less than the $1600.00. Mr. Pippin responded that commercial development would decrease the number of residential units and the calculation would still be close to $12,000,000. He stated that typically a % meter would service a home of about 3000 square feet. Mr. Pippin spoke about the calculation and its relation to meter size. He stated that there have been court cases in other states that have struck down impact fees based on sizes of residences because it doesn't satisfy the rational nexus requirement. Commissioner Fisher asked about the Gillman project. Chief Moore indicated that the stations in Minturn and Gillman would be active and the station in Red Cliff would be a substation for employee housing. He added that on page three of their Intergovernmental Agreement defmed exempt housing types. Chairman Runyon opened public comment. Dan Reynolds, attorney with Garfield and Hecht representing Jim Pavelich spoke. He owns two lots in Avon on Nottingham Road. He is concerned about the location of the fire station at the Avon exit to 1-70. He is concerned that the Fire District would begin a condemnation process and the use the impact fees to purchase the Avon property. He asked for denial of this impact fee schedule. He believes these fees would create problems for low-income families by increasing housing fees, they will discourage development thus limiting revenue from property taxes. Mr. Pavelich believes that his building will generate significant tax revenues. They understand that the Fire District already owns other property in Avon, which could be used for a fire station. He reminded the board that the increase in mill levy was supposed to be used for new equipment. He invites the board to attend Mr. Pavelich's board meeting. Mike Rader, resident of Edwards spoke. He thinks the idea of impact fees is great. It allows future development to pay for the cost of adding services. He asked for a positive vote. Commissioner Menconi asked about Mr. Pavelich's concern. He wondered about the Traer Creek land and the station in Wildridge. He wondered if a fire station needed to be created in Avon or whether there was still time to consider the land in Traer Creek. Chief Moore stated that they had been considering this question for the past 6 months. They have looked at many locations and have done feasibility and response time studies. The Fire District was not asked if they wanted the Traer Creek site. They don't believe the piece of ground is largely there to serve the Traer Creek development. The Traer Creek site doesn't work as it is too far away from Bachelor Gulch which impacts insurance rates. When looking at computer modeling the site in question works well, but Traer Creek does not, nor does Minturn or Dowd Junction. Chairman Runyon closed public comment. Commissioner Menconi asked the district to get involved with discussions related to the future of the Battle Mountain high school facility. Commissioner Fisher asked Mr. Reynolds about the condemnation concerns. She wondered if Mr. Pavelich would be willing to sell the property to the Fire District. She also asked the finance director to look into the Tiff District. Mr. Mielke did not have an answer to this question. Commissioner Fisher stated that because this property was included in the Tiff district it would have a significant reduction in property taxes allowed. Mr. Reynolds indicated that Mr. Pavelich has spent a lot of time looking into development. He is convinced that sales and property tax revenues could generate tens of millions of dollars. Mr. Pavelich realizes that his property is unique and special. Mr. Reynolds indicated that he believed Mr. Pavelich would not be interested in selling. Chief Moore indicated that their capital plan is neutral on specific sites planned for fire stations. 5 03/18/08 Chairman Runyon asked Bob Morris, attorney for Eagle County if the board could only consider the unincorporated Eagle County portion of any sales tax. Mr. Morris stated that that was correct - but he would be very uncomfortable giving any weight to those points because they are not relevant to the issue today. Commissioner Fisher asked if the development community had weighed in. Chief Moore stated that he had not heard anything negative from this community. He believes it is in the developer's interest to see this happen. Mr. Mielke noted that two of the members of the board are developers and while they have struggled to a limited degree, they believe it is the best plan to provide coverage for new development. Commissioner Menconi moved to approve the Eagle River Fire Protection District impact fees by resolution 2008-028 and intergovernmental agreement between Eagle River Fire Protection District and Eagle County . Commissioner Fisher seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
