13 <br /> 1 Sheriff Blackwood said the jail has to operate everyday no matter the rate. He said, <br /> 2 knowing this, it is better to get a slice of the pie than none. <br /> 3 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the inmates are being held for deportation, and if <br /> 4 Orange County wants to be in the incarceration business. He said he does not. <br /> 5 Lieutenant Selew said most of these inmates are being charged for violations of the <br /> 6 federal code, and not deportation. <br /> 7 Commissioner Rich asked if the Marshal's office would move the inmates to a cheaper <br /> 8 option. <br /> 9 Sheriff Blackwood said the number of inmates is fairly consistent, and he has never had <br /> 10 an inmate moved for a cheaper rate. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Price for the <br /> 13 Board to authorize the County Manager and other appropriate County officials to execute a <br /> 14 contract with the U.S. Marshals Service to house federal inmates at a daily rate of $93 for a <br /> 15 term of three years pending final contract review by the County Attorney. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 18 <br /> 19 8.

School Impact Fee Studies — Receive Draft Reports <br /> 22 The Board received the draft School Impact Fee Studies for both school districts, heard <br /> 23 a presentation by the consultant and staff, and authorized the next steps towards adopting <br /> 24 updated school impact fees. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 BACKGROUND: In the summer of 2015, Orange County contracted with TischlerBise, Inc. to <br /> 27 perform school impact fee studies for both school districts. TischlerBise completed its work in <br /> 28 the summer of 2016 and the resultant draft reports are in the agenda packets. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 The draft reports were sent to school district and municipal staffs on August 17, 2016. Impact <br /> 31 fees were last updated in 2008 and were adopted at the levels shown in Attachment 4. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 The recently completed studies disaggregate dwelling types by the number of bedrooms a unit <br /> 34 contains and also break out smaller sized (less than 800 square feet) detached units. <br /> 35 Additionally, the study includes information on Age Restricted Units, which was a topic of <br /> 36 discussion at the May 12, 2015 BOCC work session. Attachment 3 summarizes the maximum <br /> 37 supportable impact fees (MSIF) calculated for each school district, shows potential fee levels at <br /> 38 various percentages of the MSIF, as well as the percentage change from the current fee levels, <br /> 39 if the updated fees were adopted at 60% of the MSIF (as has been the case in the past two <br /> 40 update cycles). <br /> 41 <br /> 42 It should be noted that the Student Generation Rates (SGR) calculated in the current studies <br /> 43 are different from the rates adopted for Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (SAPFO) <br /> 44 purposes. This is because the rates adopted for SAPFO purposes are based only on ten years <br /> 45 of recently constructed housing while the rates for the impact fee studies must be based on the <br /> 46 entire housing stock. There is no proposal to change the SAPFO-adopted SGRs as a result of <br /> 47 these studies. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Since 1995, Orange County has offered an impact fee reimbursement program for school <br /> 50 impact fees paid on affordable housing units. From FY2009-10 through FY2015-16, $606,318 <br />
