AGENDA ITEM 6 Meeting Date: May 19, 2020

Prepared By: Chief Financial Officer Ben Van Klingeren

Date Prepared: May 28, 2020

Subject: Treasurer's Report

The following is information for the Treasurer's Report for the May 28, 2020 Board Meeting:

GENERAL FUND Revenue The following is the breakdown of revenue for the period ended April 30, 2020 for the North Naples Service Delivery Area ("NN SDA"), the Big Corkscrew Service ("BC SDA") and North Collier Fire Control & Rescue District. Note that these financial statements reflect the Board approved cost allocation method; per that method, there is no allocation of revenue (except for grant funds) - it remains in the SDA in which it is earned/received.

It should be noted that there are four general types of expenditures in terms of payment impact on the fiscal year:

1. Those that are paid monthly at fairly regular and predictable monthly intervals. 2. Those that are paid quarterly or annually so are not reflected in an appropriate percentage. 3. Those that are based on unpredictable need, such as building, equipment or vehicle repairs. 4. Items that were budgeted in the prior year, but were not received or invoiced until this year.

Page 1 of 2

Based on these payment type exceptions, accrual or prepayment adjustments can be made to the actual expenditures, and an adjusted percent of budget determined.

When these adjustments are made, year-to-date expenditures as a percentage of budgeted expenditures, by category, are as follows:

Adj Amt. - North Adj. % Collier of Budget

Personnel $ 17,800,074 56.19% Operational $ 2,956,071 48.51%

Debt Service $ 329,949 58.33% Capital $ 398,320 13.78%

Transfer Out to Impact Fund $ - 0.00% Total $ 21,484,414 52.11%

As identified above, when adjustments are made to the actual expenses based on known prepaid and accrual adjustments, General Fund expenses are at 52%, which is appropriate for this time of year since we have completed 58.3% (7/12) of the fiscal year.

General Fund Comparison with Prior Year: Included with the General Fund Financial Statement is a comparison to April 2019 of each service delivery area, noting the percentage of variance. In brief, total revenue in the NN SDA comparison reflects a variance of 3% which is in line with the budget. Expenses reflect a variance of 5%.

In the Big Corkscrew SDA, a variance in revenue of 17% is reflected due to the timing of Ad Valorem received. Expenses reflect a variance of -22% primarily due to a lower Chapter 175 retirement payment made in December compared to FY18-19.

IMPACT FEE FUND - Comparison with Budget

As of April 30, 2020, total revenue received is $576,229 or 110% of the annual budget. Expenses are at 103% of budget for the year due to the annual debt service payment in October and 100% of budgeted collection fees expense due to early revenue receipts.

INSPECTION/PLAN REVIEW FEE FUND - Comparison with Budget

Revenue As of April 30, 2020, total revenue received is $870,742 or 42% of budgeted revenue.

Expenses Expenses total $1,092,066 or 54% of the total budget. This is appropriate for this time of year since we have completed 58% (7/12) of the fiscal year.

AGENDA ITEM 10A


Prepared by: Chief Financial Officer Ben Van Klingeren

Date Prepared: March 14, 2020

Subject: Request for Board Approval of Revised Impact Fee Indexing Methodology and Adoption of Resolution 20-004 Providing for New Impact Fee Rates Commencing October 1, 2020

Objective Obtain approval of revised Impact Fee indexing methodology by adopting Resolution 20-004 providing for new Impact Fee rates commencing October 1, 2020.

Background Information The District updated its impact fee structure in 2015 (commencement with the merger) with the guidance and consulting knowledge of Tindale Oliver, whose firm offers a broad range of expertise in transportation, community planning and design, transit, including Impact Fee studies. Since then, the Board unanimously voted to move forward with a 6% rate increase via Resolution 18-004 (again, Tindale Oliver provided the report to support the 6% rate increase). The aforementioned rate increase took effect October 1, 2018. At the March 13, 2019 Board Meeting, the Board of Fire Commissioners unanimously approved (4-0) to move forward with the Tindale Oliver Fire Impact Fee Indexing Methodology to increase the District’s schedule of impact fee rates by 3.8%. The Board then unanimously approved the new rate structure by adopting Resolution 19-004 at the April 10, 2019 Commission meeting.

As stated by the summary report in attachment 1, page 1, “The methodology used to update the fire impact fee is a consumption-based impact fee methodology, which has also been used to calculate the current adopted fire impact fee for the District as well as several fire/EMS impact fees throughout Florida, including, but not limited to, fees in Collier, Orange, Palm Beach, Indian River and Brevard Counties. A consumption-based impact fee is intended to charge new growth the proportionate share of cost associated with providing fire rescue facilities available for use by new growth. The demand component of the District’s current fire impact fee uses a population-based approach. Per the request of the District, this current update study utilizes an incident-based approach for the demand component.”

Table 10 of the report provides a Fire Impact Fee comparison summarizing the differences due to the new methodology.

Considerations Adoption of Resolution 20-004 provides ample time to comply with Florida State Statutes’ Florida Impact Fee Act requiring a 90-day notice to local taxpayers. Moreover, this provides ample time to discuss with our building community partners the rate increase prior to the October 1, 2020 implementation date.

AGENDA ITEM 10A

Fiscal Impact The District estimates to collect an additional $884,456 in impact fees during the 2020/2021 fiscal year, which equates to a 90% increase from the current year. (See Attachment 2: Impact Fee Revenue Comparison).

Recommendation Staff recommends the Board adopt Resolution 20-004 to approve the revised Impact Fee indexing methodology and provide for new Impact Fee rates commencing October 1, 2020.

Tindale Oliver North Collier FCRD March 2020 i Fire Impact Fee Study

Introduction

Fire impact fees are used to fund capital expansion projects for fire rescue service related

facilities, land, vehicles and capital equipment required to support the additional demand

created by new growth. The North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District (NCFCRD) was formed

in 2015 after the merging of two independent fire stations, the North Naples Fire District (NN)

and Big Corkscrew Island Fire District (BCI). The District last updated its fire impact fee study in

2015 after its formation. Given the changes to impact fee variables and to comply with legal

requirements, NCFCRD retained Tindale Oliver (TO) to prepare an update study to reflect changes

to the cost, credit, and demand components since the last technical study.

It should be noted that figures included in this study reflect data collected and analysis completed

by September 2019, unless otherwise noted in this report.

Methodology

The methodology used to update the fire impact fee is a consumption-based impact fee

methodology, which has also been used to calculate the current adopted fire impact fee for the

District as well as several fire/EMS impact fees throughout Florida, including, but not limited to,

fees in Collier, Orange, Palm Beach, Indian River and Brevard Counties. A consumption-based

impact fee is intended to charge new growth the proportionate share of cost associated with

providing fire rescue facilities available for use by new growth. The demand component of the

District’s current fire impact fee uses a population-based approach. Per the request of the

District, this current update study utilizes an incident-based approach for the demand

component.

Legal Standard Overview

In Florida, legal requirements related to impact fees have primarily been established through

case law since the 1980’s. Impact fees must comply with the “dual rational nexus” test, which

requires that they:

• Be supported by a study demonstrating that the fees are proportionate in amount to the

need created by new development paying the fee; and

• Be spent in a manner that directs a proportionate benefit to new development, typically

accomplished through establishment of benefit districts (if needed) and a list of capacity-

Tindale Oliver North Collier FCRD March 2020 1 Fire Impact Fee Study

adding projects included in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan, Capital Improvement

Element, or another planning document/Master Plan.

In 2006, the Florida legislature passed the “Florida Impact Fee Act,” which recognized impact fees

as “an outgrowth of home rule power of a local government to provide certain services within its

jurisdiction.” § 163.31801(2), Fla. Stat. The statute – concerned with mostly procedural and

methodological limitations – did not expressly allow or disallow any particular public facility type

from being funded with impact fees. The Act did specify procedural and methodological

prerequisites, such as the requirement of the fee being based on most recent and localized data,

a 90-day requirement for fee changes, and other similar requirements, most of which were

common to the practice already.

More recent legislation further affected the impact fee framework in Florida, including the

following:

• HB 227 in 2009: The Florida legislation statutorily clarified that in any action challenging

an impact fee, the government has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the

evidence that the imposition or amount of the fee meets the requirements of state legal

precedent or the Impact Fee Act and that the court may not use a deferential standard.

• SB 360 in 2009: Allowed fees to be decreased without the 90-day notice period required

to increase the fees and purported to change the standard of legal review associated with

impact fees. SB 360 also required the Florida Department of Community Affairs (now the

Department of Economic Opportunity) and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)

to conduct studies on “mobility fees,” which were completed in 2010.

• HB 7207 in 2011: Required a dollar-for-dollar credit, for purposes of concurrency

compliance, for impact fees paid and other concurrency mitigation required.

• HB 319 in 2013: Applied mostly to concurrency management authorities, but also

encouraged local governments to adopt alternative mobility systems using a series of

tools identified in section 163.31801 (5)(f), Florida Statutes.

• HB 207 in 2019: Included the following changes to the Impact Fee Act along with

additional clarifying language:

1. Impact fees cannot be collected prior to building permit issuance; and

2. Impact fee revenues cannot be used to pay debt service for previously approved

projects unless the expenditure is reasonably connected to, or has a rational nexus

with, the increased impact generated by the new residential and commercial

construction.


• HB 7103 in 2019: Addressed multiple issues related to affordable housing/linkage fees,

impact fees, and building services fees. In terms of impact fees, the bill required that

when local governments increase their impact fees, the outstanding impact fee credits

for developer contributions should also be increased. This requirement will operate

prospectively. This bill also allowed local governments to waive/reduce impact fees for

affordable housing projects without having to offset the associated revenue loss.

The following paragraphs provide further detail on the legal standards applicable here.

Impact Fee Definition

• An impact fee is a one-time capital charge levied against new development.

• An impact fee is designed to cover the portion of the capital costs of infrastructure

capacity consumed by new development.

• The principle purpose of an impact fee is to assist in funding the implementation of

projects identified in the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) and other capital

improvement programs for the respective facility/service categories.

Impact Fee vs. Tax

• An impact fee is generally regarded as a regulatory function established based upon the

specific benefit to the user related to a given infrastructure type and is not established

for the primary purpose of generating revenue for the general benefit of the community,

as are taxes.

• Impact fee expenditures must convey a proportional benefit to the fee payer. This is

accomplished through the establishment of benefit districts, where fees collected in a

benefit district are spent in the same benefit district. In the case of fire impact fees, due

to fire stations’ ability to provide support to each other, typically a single benefit district

that includes the entire service-area is used, unless there are significant geographic or

man-made barriers that prevent facilities/equipment in certain sections of a service area

from assisting others.

• An impact fee must be tied to a proportional need for new infrastructure capacity created

by new development.

This technical report has been prepared to support legal compliance with existing case law and

statutory requirements and documents the methodology used for impact fee calculations for

each fee in the following sections, including an evaluation of the inventory, service area, level of

service (LOS), cost, credit, and demand components. Information supporting this analysis was


obtained from the District and other sources, as indicated. The study methodology is

documented in the following sections of this technical report:

• Facility Inventory

• Service Area

• Level of Service

• Cost Component

• Credit Component

• Demand Component

• Calculated Fire Impact Fee Schedule

• Impact Fee Schedule Comparison

These various elements are summarized in the remainder of this report, with the result being the

calculated fire impact fee schedule.


Facility Inventory

According to information provided by the NCFCRD, the District owns and operates 10 stations to

provide fire rescue related services.

Table 1 shows a summary of the NCFCRD building inventory included in the impact fee

calculations. As presented, the inventory includes a total of approximately 120,000 square feet

of building space and approximately 84 total acres of land. Although a total of 84 acres is

associated with fire rescue stations and ancillary buildings, some of these buildings are co-located

with other non-fire related structures on a given parcel. To account for that, the total building

square footage on each parcel is reviewed to determine a ratio of acres per square foot of

building for each parcel. Then, the portion of the acreage associated with the buildings providing

fire rescue services is calculated and included in the inventory. This adjusted acreage figure

results in a total of 77 acres owned by the District that are being used for fire facilities.

An important part of the impact fee calculations involves determining the current value of the

capital assets. To determine the building value, Tindale Oliver reviewed cost of recently built fire

stations by other Florida fire departments/districts, insurance values of existing stations, and any

estimates for future fire stations provided by the District. This analysis resulted in a cost estimate

of $315 per square foot for fire stations. Further detail on this estimate is provided in Appendix

A.

Land values were determined through a review of the following:

• The market value of parcels where the current fire stations are located, obtained from

the Collier County Property Appraiser’s database;

• Most recent land purchases for future fire stations;

• Vacant land sales and market values of all vacant land of similar size parcels in NCFCRD;

and

• Changes in land value trends in Collier County since the last study.

Based upon this information and review, the land value is estimated at $100,000 per acre for

impact fee calculations.

Appendix A provides more detailed information on the land value analysis conducted.

Service Area

NCFCRD provides fire rescue services in a 264-square mile area that includes coastal beach,

urban and rural residential/non-residential structures and uninhabited wildlands. The District

was formed in the portion of unincorporated county that was formerly the Big Corkscrew Island

(BCI) and North Naples (NN) Fire Districts. Given the ability of stations to support each other,

the proper benefit district for the provision of fire services is the entire NNFCRD.

Level of Service

Although fire departments measure level of service in terms of response time, for impact fee

calculation purposes, the current level of service (LOS) is calculated based on annual incidents

per station as presented in Table 3.

Cost Component

The cost component of the study evaluates the cost of all capital items, including buildings, land

and equipment/vehicles. Table 4 provides a summary of all capital costs, which amounts to

approximately $60.6 million. Also shown within Table 4 is the total impact cost per incident for

NCFCRD at $3,217 per incident.

Credit Component

To avoid overcharging new development for the fire impact fee, a review of the capital financing

program for fire facilities and capital assets was completed. The purpose of this review was to

determine any non-impact fee revenue generated by new development that is being used for

capital facility (buildings, land, vehicles and equipment) expansion of the fire rescue program.

Revenue credits would then apply against the cost per resident and cost per incident so that new

development is not charged twice for capital expansion projects.

Capital Expansion “Cash” Credit

An analysis of the historical fire expenditures for the five-year period from 2014 through 2018

was completed. Based on the information provided by NCFCRD, the only funding source, other

than impact fees, is the property tax.

Table 5 summarizes capital expenditures for the last five fiscal years. The capital improvement

credits per incident were calculated using the average capital expansion expenditures during the

same time period. As presented, the result is an annual capital expansion credit of $14.53 per

incident.

The payments are adjusted to account for the fact the new homes tend to have higher value than

the average of all existing homes and pay higher property taxes per dwelling unit. This

adjustment factor was estimated based on a comparison of the average taxable value of new

homes built over the past five years to that of all homes. As presented, in the case of residential

land uses, the capital expansion credit per incident amounts to $16.71.

Debt Service Credit

Any outstanding debt issues related to the expansion of the District’s facilities also will result in

a credit to the impact fee.

The NCFCRD is currently paying debt service on a capital lease used to fund new equipment for

the District’s facilities. The debt service will be paid through FY 2026 using property tax revenues.

The credit for the lease payments was calculated by dividing the present value of the total

remaining payments of the lease by the average incidents over the same period. As presented

in Table 6, the resulting credit for the District’s facilities related debt amounts to $24.91 per

incident.

The lease payments are adjusted to account for the fact the new homes tend to pay higher

property taxes per dwelling unit. As presented, in the case of residential land uses, the total

adjusted debt service credit per incident is $28.65.

Net Impact Cost

Table 7 summarizes the calculation of the net fire impact cost per incident, which is the difference

between the total impact cost and the total revenue credit. The resulting net impact cost per

incident is $2,948 for residential land uses and $2,981 for non-residential land uses.

Demand Component

In determining the impact fee for each land use on a per incident basis, it is necessary to

determine service delivery to residential and non-residential land uses. Using the incident

approach, the average annual number of calls received from each land use was compared to the

square footage of each land use within NCFCRD. Total square footage by land use was obtained

from the Collier County Property Appraiser’s database and utilized for the analysis. The Collier

County Property Appraiser’s database defines total square footage as the total area of the

improved or built structure which includes areas under air conditioned in addition to lanais,

garages, porches, etc. Table 8 presents this distribution of incidents per square foot for

residential and non-residential land uses.

Appendix A

Building and Land Value Analysis

Supplemental Information

Appendix A

This appendix provides the additional data and information on building and land value estimates.

Building Values

Building value estimates were based on the following analysis:

• A review of cost associated with recently built stations or estimates for future stations in

NCFCRD;

• A review of cost associated with recently built or bid fire stations in other Florida

jurisdictions;

• NCFCRF station/building insurance values; and

• Industrywide cost increases since the last study.

NCFCRF did not build any new stations since the last technical study; however, the District

estimates the cost for a future station at $420 per square foot.

Tindale Oliver obtained cost information from several jurisdictions to supplement the local data.

The bids and estimates received in between 2017 and 2019 ranged from $250 per square foot to

$460 per square foot.

Insurance values of existing fire stations averaged $325 per square foot. It should be noted that

insurance values are considered to be a conservative estimate because insurance companies

exclude the value of the foundation and other more permanent parts of the structure that would

not have to be rebuilt if the structure was damaged.

A review of nationwide construction cost increases since 2015 suggested an increase of 13%, as

reported by Engineering News Record (ENR) Building Cost Index. Applying this increase to the

cost estimates used in the 2015 study resulted in a unit cost of $295 per square foot for fire

stations.

Given this information, an average value of $315 per square foot was used for fire stations and

the administrative building. In addition, an estimate of $235 per square foot is used for support

facilities based on insurance values. Table A-1 summarizes this information.

Land Values

In order to determine land value for future fire station land purchases, the following

data/information was evaluated:

• The market (or just) value of parcels where current fire stations are located based on

information provided by the Collier County Property Appraiser;

• Most recent land purchases for future fire stations;

• Vacant land sales and market/just values of all vacant land in NCFCRD; and

• Land value trends since the most recent study.

Land values in Collier County increase by approximately 25% since the last study. Applying this

index to the estimated land value of $80,000 per acre used in the 2015 study results in a value of

$100,000 per acre. The District’s most recent purchase cost $315,000 per acre. The value of land

owned by the District averages $140,000 per acre.


Vacant land sales of similar size parcels in the District indicated an average value of $40,000 per

acre to $622,000 per acre depending on the zoning and location of the parcels. Similarly, value

of all vacant land, as estimated by the Collier County Property Appraiser, averaged $32,000 per

acre to $443,000 per acre. This information is summarized in Table A-2.

AGENDA ITEM 10B


Prepared by: Executive Director Sal D’Angelo


Subject: Request Board Approval of Waterside Shops, LLC Parking License Agreement

Objective

Staff requests the Board to approve the Waterside Shops, LLC Parking License Agreement

Background Information

As part of our hurricane preparedness the District relies on community partnerships to prepare for and respond to emergency situations pre- and post-storm. A component of that preparedness is having garage facilities to store District owned fleet resources in a safe and secure environment. During past hurricane events, the District has entered into partnerships via MOU in food, parking, and shelter services. This agenda item, through approval of Attachment #1, serves as an additional safeguard in protecting District property with the aid of our community partners.
