We will prepare initial estimates of revenues from property tax and sales tax (based on information to be provided by the project sponsor) that would be generated by the proposed proj ect. Fiscal Task 2: Meet with City Staff We will meet with the Finance Director (or other Finance Department staff, as appropriate) and staff of other City departments to confirm our tentative revenue and cost equations. Staff of other departments may include, at a minimum, the Police Department, Fire Department, and Public Works. In some cases, it may become apparent that simple equations, such as are typically used for fiscal analyses, will not be appropriate for this project. We are particularly concerned about the estimated of service costs: typically, service demands and costs are considered on a "per capita" basis. If this approach is applied to the proposed project, no costs would be anticipated because the project does not include housing, and therefore would not accommodate any resident population. In this light, we will discuss likely impacts of the project and service responses with City staff to arrive at reasonable conclusions about changes in service demands and resulting changes in costs. In discussions with the Police and Fire departments, we will use the public service information reported in the EIR as a starting point. Fiscal Task 3: Prepare Draft Fiscal Analysis and Report Based on our review of the budget (Fiscal Task 1) and our meetings with City staff (Fiscal Task 2), we will analyze the fiscal impacts of the proposed project. This analysis will be presented to the City in a draft report that describes the project, details our assumptions about revenues and costs, and compares expected revenues and costs upon completion of the proposed project to current revenues and costs (as provided by the city of Redwood City). We will provide electronic copies of the report to the City and the EIR consultant for review. We ask that all comments be returned to us on a single printed copy of the report, and that they be non-contradictory. We would be happy to meet with the EIR consultant and/or the City to discuss comments on the draft report. We recommend that, if such a meeting is desired, it be combined with a similar meeting on the economic analysis. Fiscal Task 4: Prepare Final Fiscal Analysis and Report We will finalize the fiscal report by incorporating responses to comments on the draft from the city of Redwood City and the EIR consultant. We will deliver one printed copy and an electronic copy of the final report to the City and the EIR consultant. Information Required from the Applicant and the City For the scope of work outlined above, we would need the applicant to provide the following information: . Identification of similar expansions and gas station additions completed in California during the past 5 to 10 years. "'T'--""-- "--"'T"'--"---"
