~O Task 6: Compete Impact Fee Methodology and Calculation. The completion of the above tasks will enable the impact fee methodology to be appropriately and equitably determined and finalized. The impact fee that results from this methodology will be the maximum legally defensible fee for new development in the two Orange County school districts that could be charged while meeting all the statutory requirements for impact fees. (The Client will subsequently decide what percentage of the maximum justifiable fee it wants to charge.) Work Product: See Impact Fee Report Below Task 7. Preparation of Public School Impact Fee Reports. We will prepare a draft report for each district which summarizes the basis and need for the impact fees for the appropriate district and which provides the relevant methodology for determining the fee amount. The report will include at a minimum the. following information: . • Executive Summary • A detailed description of the methodologies used during the study • A detailed description of all formulas used and accompanying rationale • A detailed schedule of proposed fees listed by land use type and activity • Summary of capital improvement needs generated by the new development • Other information which explains and justifies the resulting recommended impact fee schedules After client review, we will make mutually agreed upon changes and produce five copies of the final report for each district. The impact fee report will have flow diagrams clearly indicating the methodology and approach, a series of tables for each activity showing all of the data assumptions and figures, and a narrative explaining all of the data assumptions, sources and methodologies. The report will be a stand-alone document which will be clear, concise and readily understood by all interested parties. Because of our extensive experience in calculating impact fees and preparing such reports, we have developed a very succinct written product which provides the client with awell-understood paper trail.
