� City of Colton Agenda Report Gouncil Me�ting af Clctober 26, 1999 Page 2 Team reviewed the study and discussed the methodologies used for calculating each of the types of proposed development fees, as well as for existing fees. DISCUSSI�NIANALYSIS: Topping Jacquess Consultants (the "Consultants") conducted an analysis of developm�nt impact mitigation fees currently in place and identified additional infrastruct�are and public service categories for which there currently exists no developm�nt �mpact mitigation fee. Currentiy, the city assesses development fees for parks, sewer, water, storm drainage fees (in two locations) and traffic. Additiona( facilities and public services that were identified where development fees are currently net collected but should be are for police station, fire station, library and civic center improvements. The Study contains an in-depth analysis of six infrastructure and public service categories: Civic Center, Fire Station, Library, Parks Police Station and Traffic. Water and Sewer fees were not included in this analysis because the Utility Department was in the process of updating its Water and Wastewater Master Plan at the time the Capital Infr�structure Study was conducted. Additionally, storm drainage fees were not reviewed a� part of this study. The consultant did suggest however that a storm drain study be undertaken at same point in time in concert with the County of San Bernardino Flood Control District.

None of the aforementioned fees would be collected in from existing businesses or residents. The development unit is equal to one dwelling unit for residential and 1000 square feet of building area for commercial and industrial projects. The Study dletermined thafi for the six infrastructure and public service categories listed above the c�urrent level of service is below the desired level of service in all categories except the fire station category.
