<br />City of Redwood City Tra <br /> <br />Mitigation Fee Study-Phase II <br />Proposal-January 11, 1999 <br /> <br />VII.2 Determine Type of Fee <br /> <br />Performed concurrently with Task VII.!, we will evaluate the justification for a uniform citywide <br />or a zone-based fee using a costlbenefit analysis of four benefit areas in Redwood City. The <br />costlbenefit analysis simply compares the cost per DUE in each benefit area. If the cost per DUE in <br />a particular benefit area is significantly different from other benefit areas or the average, it may <br />indicate that a zone-based fee is appropriate. If this is determined, we will calculate a specific fee <br />for each benefit area. <br /> <br />VII.3 Affordabilitv and Phasing Analysis <br /> <br />This task will estimate the revenues expected by the fee and identify funding deficits. We will <br />provide the City with a list and description of potential alternative funding sources and options to <br />address deficits and as required by GC 66000. Additionally, we will develop a preliminary phasing <br />plan for implementation of the capital improvements and identify funding priorities. This task <br />includes a meeting with City staff to present the fee methodology and preliminary fee calculations. <br /> <br />Task VIII. Workshops/Stakeholder Meetings <br /> <br />In this task the team will prepare and facilitate workshops with the City Council and stakeholders <br />to address important issues and present milestone findings. The first of a series of three workshops <br />was conducted in Phase I of the fee study-to present the fundamentals of traffic mitigation fees and <br />GC 66000 to the City Council and to discuss the magnitude ofthe fees and estimated revenues. The <br />second workshop is to present and discuss the finalized list of capital improvements, cost estimates <br />and the preliminary fee calculations. In the third workshop we will present and discuss the draft fee <br />report and key findings. <br /> <br />Task IX. Fee Tracking Database <br /> <br />IX.! Develop Database Products <br /> <br />The team will develop a Traffic Mitigation Fee database system to track project-by-project fee <br />collection, credits, reimbursements and other relevant information. City staff will provide the <br />desired capabilities of the database. The database can cross-reference fee information by capital <br />projects and development projects. The team will work with staff to develop a database that can <br />account for fees collected and how they have been dispersed and permit modification of data and <br />recalculation of fees. The database can be developed using recent state-of-the-art relational database <br />software (e.g. Microsoft Access) and include a concise users manual for using, updating, reporting <br />and maintaining the database. The database is a combination of three independent products: <br /> <br />1. <br />2. <br /> <br />Primary database to track capital projects and fee collection <br />Secondary database to track inter-fund borrowing, if more than one fund is established <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Spreadsheet to update capital improvement cost estimates based on ENR and land inflation <br />factors <br /> <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc. <br /> <br />""""-""""""'-""""'--"'-"r"""'-'~-"- <br />
