The consultant will attend four meetings of an Ad Hoc Committee to be formed by the City. The primary objective will be to review and interpret the final report and its recommendations with the committee to explain and interpret the study and to assist the City in resolving identified issues. It is anticipated that there will be preparation and followup` time by the consultant for each meeting.

This leaves two other meetings for consultant attendance of the Ad Hoc Committee.

Conduct Additional Research in Response to Planning Commission Inquiries. Four areas of research along with estimated hours and costs are described under the following subtasks. Further analysis beyond that stipulated would be reimbursed separately on a time and materials basis at the standard rate previously indicated.' 3. I Commercial and Industrial Fee Comparisons. The first area of research consists of preparing two additional city -by -city fee comparison tables: one for commercial and one for industrial. This has already been requested by the Planning Commission. These have not been done previously, and it will be necessary to select and agree upon a sample building size and use for each table'. Based on prior experience with the residential table which use a preestablished "typical development, " approximately 40 hours is estimated to complete this task. However, this task should not proceed until the characteristics of "typical developments" for commercial and industrial projects have been agreed upon by the City and the Ad Hoc committee as discussed in Task" 2.0. Hours: 40 Cost: $3,800 Product. Brief memorandum including two tables comparing projected fees for "typical" commercial and industrial developments for cities used in the residential comparison in the Capital Infrastructure Report.' 3.2 Additional Fee Analysis. A second area of research will need to focus on providing greater background analysis and justification for fee proposals. The most likely issue will be the credibility of the 5 acre per thousand population General Plan standard underlying the parks fee. Time would be made available to provide additional research into one issue area, such as the parks question, to help the City prepare a justification for a reasonable alternative cost recovery approach.. This research could include investigation of the comparability of the Colton standards to other cities' standards and" criteria upon the which fee in question is based. Hours: 20 $1,900 0
