<br />Task 6: Compete Impact Fee Methodology and Calculation. <br />The completion of the above tasks will enable the impact fee methodology to be <br />appropriately and equitably determined and finalized. The impact fee that results from this <br />methodology will be the maximum legally defensible fee for new development in the two <br />Orange County school districts that could be charged while meeting all the statutory <br />requirements for impact fees. (The Client will subsequently decide what percentage of the <br />maximum justifiable fee it wants to charge.) <br />Work Product: See Impact Fee Report Below <br />Task 7. Preparation of Public School Impact Fee Reports. <br />We will prepare a draft report for each district which summarizes the basis and need for the <br />impact fees for the appropriate district and which provides the relevant methodology for <br />determining the fee amount. The report will include at a minimum the following information: . <br />• Executive Summary <br />• A detailed description of the methodologies used during the study <br />• A detailed description of all formulas used and accompanying rationale <br />• A detailed schedule of proposed fees listed by land use type and activity <br />• Summary of capital improvement needs generated by the new development <br />• Other information which explains and justifies the resulting recommended impact fee <br />schedules <br />After client review, we will make mutually agreed upon changes and produce five copies of <br />the final report for each district. <br />The impact fee report will have flow diagrams clearly indicating the methodology and <br />approach, 'a series of tables for each activity showing all of the data assumptions and <br />figures, and a narrative explaining all of the data assumptions, sources and methodologies. <br />The report will be a stand-alone document which will be clear, concise and readily <br />understood by all interested parties. Because of our extensive experience in calculating <br />impact fees and preparing such reports, we have developed a very succinct written product <br />which provides the client with swell-understood paper trail. <br />Work Product: Public School Impact Fee Reports <br />Task 8. Meetings/Presentations. <br />Since we intend to work as part of a team and view ourselves not only as technical <br />consultants but also as facilitators, we anticipate and have included in this work program <br />several onsite staff meetings (to include county and school personnel) during this <br />assignment. We also will attend three public hearings to explain the analysis and <br />conclusions. <br />Work Product: Appropriate Materials and Graphics <br />
