IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: No outside funding is required. No or minimal future staff time is projected. BACKGROUND: Government Code Section 66013 requires a financial accounting of the transactions dealing with water and sewer capacity and connection fees and charges (development impact fees) shall be made available to the public. The basic accounting and reporting responsibilities under the Government Code require the following: 1. A description of the charges/fees deposited in the fund; 2. The beginning and ending balance of the fund and any interest earned from investment of moneys in the fund; 3. The amount of charges/fees collected in the fiscal year; 4. The public improvements on which charges/fees were expended; 5. The percentage of the total cost of the public improvements that were funded by these charges/fees; 6. The completed public improvements on which charges/fees were expended; 7. Each public improvement that is anticipated to be undertaken in the current fiscal year. Attached to this staff report is the financial information (Attachment 1) as required by Government Code Section 66013 as of June 30, 2012. The information consists of beginning and ending fund balances for each fee charged by the City, including interest Item 8.c. - Page 1 CITY COUNCIL WATER AND SEWER DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES-ANNUAL REPORT NOVEMBER 27,2012 PAGE 2 earned and details of all expenditures made from these sources. The information provided is consistent with the financial records. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66013, this report is for review purposes only. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: The City utilizes fund accounting to segregate development related impact fees from other City revenues. Although the City pools its cash for investment purposes, interest income is allocated to the facility funds based on their respective cash balances. The City accounts for water and sewer connection and capacity fees or charges ca·n be found in three separate funds the Water Facility Fund, the Sewer Facility Fund, and the Water Availability Fund. The information in Attachment 1 is presented in a format consistent with the annual audit of the Fiscal Year from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. The following is a description of the City funds used to track water and sewer connection and capacity fees and charges: • Water Facility (Fund 642) Water Main Charges, enacted pursuant to the provision of Section 13.04.050 of the City Municipal Code, are accounted for in the Water Facility Fund. These revenues are to be used for future water infrastructure improvements. • Sewer Facility (Fund 634) Sewer Connection fees, enacted pursuant to the provision of Section 13.12.190 et seq. of the City Municipal Code, is collected to help pay for improvements and future sewer system capacity as necessary to meet the needs of the City resulting from growth and expansion. • Water Availability Fund (Fund 241) This fund is used to account for the accumulation of water availability charge revenues. This charge was enacted pursuant to the provision of Section 38743 of the Government Code, and Section 13.04.040 of the City Municipal Code. Due to the substantial reduction in development activity, new revenue in these funds has decreased. This has required adjustments to projections for future capital improvement projects. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are provided for City Council consideration: Approve staff recommendation and accept the report; Do not accept staff recommendation; Modify staff recommendation and approve; Provide direction to staff.
