However, <br /> our experience allows us to identify alternate sources of information where data is not readily available. <br /> ■ Base year County demographic data (population, employment, housing units, etc.). <br /> ■ GIS data sets (to be determined in this Task). <br /> ■ Base year County budget/fiscal information (Budget (including tax rates), Capital Improvement <br /> Plans, CAFR) <br /> ■ Any relevant studies related to fiscal/economic conditions in the County <br /> ■ Information related to the development project for use in calibrating the fiscal impact model. <br /> Meetings: <br /> One (1) on-site visit to meet with various County staff to obtain feedback on model design and project <br /> expectations. <br /> Deliverables: <br /> 1) Data request memorandum. <br /> TASK 2: DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL PARAMETERS <br /> In this task, TischlerBise will work with County staff to develop parameters that will guide the development <br /> and design of the Fiscal Impact Model. <br /> Development of Land Use Profiles (Prototypes). To ensure the optimum inputs for the Fiscal/Economic <br /> Impact Model, TischlerBise will develop specific assumptions for various land use types that may be <br /> evaluated as part of development projects. For residential land uses (e.g., single-family detached versus <br /> multifamily), these factors include person per household, student generation rates, lot size, street frontage, <br /> vehicle trip and trip adjustment factors, average trip length, construction values, income, and discretionary <br /> spending. From a nonresidential perspective this will include employment densities, vehicle trip generation <br /> rates and adjustment factors, trip lengths, street frontage, etc. These factors will serve to refine the costs <br /> and revenue factors by geographic location. For example, the amount of residential street frontage added <br /> to the County's roadway network is likely to be less per unit as density increases. <br /> Definition of Geographic Service Areas for Fiscal Impact Model. Our team will work with County staff <br /> to formulate criteria(land use character, development intensity, potential for intensification, etc.)to be used <br /> to delineate potential geographic service areas for the Fiscal/Economic Impact Model. This will allow for <br /> meaningful comparison of service and infrastructure costs relative to the geographic location of <br /> development. For example, the County will be able to distinguish between assessed values, density, <br /> development character, trip lengths and many more variables. Otherwise, land use types will have to be <br /> treated homogenously Countywide. <br /> Determination of Economic Multipliers for Secondary Impacts. TischlerBise will develop an economic <br /> impact module to the model, using utilizing the IMPLAN model. IMPLAN is an input-output model developed <br /> by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group(MIG, Inc.)that tracks the interdependence among various producing and <br /> consuming sectors of an economy. The IMPLAN model was selected by the USDA to evaluate the job <br /> 22 TischlergIse <br /> FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING <br />
