Fire EMS Impact Fee Study PresentationCommission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Impact Fee Study – Presentation by Impact Fee Study Consultants and direction to staff regarding adopting new study and making changes to the City’s Fire/EMS Impact Fees. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2019 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action RECOMMENDATION: Listen to the presentation, take public comment, and direct staff to return with a resolution to adopt the new study and change Fire/EMS Impact Fees. BACKGROUND: State law requires the city to periodically review and update our fire/EMS system development impact fees. The City’s Impact Fee Advisory Committee and city staff have been working with Tindale Oliver consultants to provide the necessary data and to formulate a recommendation to change Fire/EMS Impact Fees. Tonight, the consultants will present the Fire/EMS Impact Fee Study Update. This updated study & methodology has been recommended by the Impact Fee Advisory Committee. After hearing the presentation, answering questions, and taking public comment, we can draft a resolution and schedule the hearing that will adopt the Fire/EMS Impact Fee Study update and change the City’s Fire Impact Fees. Any changes in the City’s impact fees would be made effective by this resolution. Public Meetings & Participation: In the process of developing this updated study, we held numerous public meetings and opportunities for public participation. An initial public outreach meeting was held at City Hall as the update began. It was attended by members of the public and stakeholders interested in topics such as transit, transportation, 215 affordable housing, clean water, development, etc. We also maintained an Impact Fee Study Update “project page” on the City’s website. This site linked to historical impact fee information, as well as upcoming meeting times and draft content, and contained a link to submit public comment. Publicized meetings of the Impact Fee Advisory Committee were held in June and in December. There was an opportunity for public comment at those meetings as well. As a follow-up to their June presentation, on December 11, 2018, Tindale Oliver representatives, presented a revised fee schedule to the Impact Fee Advisory Committee. The revisions provided a calculated fee that separated residential categories into three types: Single Family, Multi-Family, and Mobile Home. (The previous draft had contained the same fee for any Residential construction type.) The Advisory Committee voted 4-0 to recommend adoption of the study, including fees based on Residential, Multi-Family, and Mobile Home types. The draft minutes from that meeting are attached. The Fire/EMS Impact Fee Study is attached, in its final, recommended form. The document contains an Executive Summary, Introduction, Report, and Appendices. The Updated Fee: Fire/EMS Impact Fees are designed to fund capital expansion projects for fire and emergency management services, including facilities, land, vehicles, and capital equipment to support the additional demand that is created by new growth. The proposed Fee Schedule is found on Page 2 of the report. It recommends a Fire/EMS Impact Fee based on dwelling unit (du) square footage. 216 Proposed Fire/EMS Impact Fee Schedule Property Type Unit Total Fee (Including 5% Admin Fee) Residential Single Family - Square Footage 1400 or Less du $ 325.91 1401 to 1600 du $ 333.60 1601 to 1800 du $ 339.75 1801 to 2000 du $ 345.89 2001 to 2200 du $ 352.04 2201 to 2400 du $ 358.20 2401 to 2600 du $ 365.88 2601 to 2800 du $ 372.03 2801 to 3000 du $ 379.71 3001 or More du $ 398.16 Multi Family - Square Footage 1400 or Less du $ 230.60 1401 to 1600 du $ 236.74 1601 to 1800 du $ 241.35 1801 to 2000 du $ 245.97 2001 to 2200 du $ 249.04 2201 to 2400 du $ 255.19 2401 to 2600 du $ 259.80 2601 to 2800 du $ 264.42 2801 to 3000 du $ 269.03 3001 or More du $ 282.86 Mobile Home du $ 304.38 Group Quarters person $ 153.73 Non-Residential Industrial 1,000 gsf $ 46.12 Retail, Accommodation, and Food Services 1,000 gsf $ 426.59 Health Care and Social Assistance 1,000 gsf $ 1,833.22 All Other Services 1,000 gsf $ 457.35 Comparisons of Existing and Proposed Fee: Comparisons of the existing and proposed fee for specific dwelling sizes and commercial projects are shown in the next table. 217 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Examples - Residential Existing Fee Proposed Fee Change Change Median Detached Home $ 409.51 $ 358.20 -13% $ (51.31) 2,400 sq. ft. 6,500 sq. ft. lot Small Detached Home $ 244.75 $ 333.60 36% $ 88.85 1,500 sq. ft. 4,500 sq. ft. lot Townhome $ 191.02 $ 325.91 71% $ 134.89 1,350 sq. ft. 3,000 sq. ft. lot Group Quarters $ 1,850.54 $ 1,537.30 -17% $ (313.24) 10 residents 15,246 sq. ft. lot Apartment Building $ 2,292.28 $ 2,767.20 21% $ 474.92 12 homes@ 1,000 sq. ft. each 21,408 sq. ft. lot Affordable Housing Townhome $ 191.02 $ 325.91 71% $ 134.89 800 sq. ft 2,500 sq. ft. lot Fire/EMS Impact Fee Examples -Non-Residential Existing Fee Proposed Fee Change Change Offices $ 3,760.78 $ 4,573.50 22% $ 812.72 3/4 inch meter 30,000 sq. ft. lot 10,000 sq. ft. bldg Retail $ 5,071.68 $ 5,119.08 1% $ 47.40 3/4 inch meter 40,000 sq. ft. lot 12,000 sq. ft. bldg Restaurant $ 2,535.84 $ 2,559.54 1% $ 23.70 1.5 inch meter 25,000 sq. ft. lot 6,000 sq. ft. bldg Manufacturing $ 465.62 $ 691.80 49% $ 226.18 1 inch meter 45,000 sq. ft. lot 15,000 sq. ft. bldg 218 We have also prepared a Comparison Schedule for All Fee Types (Water, Wastewater, Transportation, and Fire/EMS), which is attached to this memo.

Executive Summary Fire/EMS impact fees are used to fund capital expansion projects for fire/EMS service related facilities, land, vehicles and capital equipment required to support the additional demand created by new growth. The City of Bozeman Fire/EMS impact fees were last updated in 2012. To reflect the most recent and localized data, the City retained Tindale Oliver to prepare an update of the fire/EMS impact fees. The methodology used to update City’s impact fee program is a consumption-based impact fee methodology. A consumption-based impact fee is intended to charge new growth the proportionate share of the cost of providing additional infrastructure available for use by new growth. This cost is distributed among land uses based upon the burden placed on services from each land use (demand). In addition, consistent with the requirements of the Montana enabling legislation, a credit is subtracted from the total cost to account for the value of future non-impact fee revenue contributions (taxes, user fees, etc.) of the new development toward the construction of capacity expansion projects when non-impact fee funding is used to build capital facilities. The primary steps involved in the update of the fire/EMS impact fee included the following: • Review of the inventory and establishment of the current level of service; • Estimation of the current value of the facility and other capital inventory; • Review of funding sources used for fire/EMS facility expansion projects; • Calculation of the demand component; and • Calculation of the updated fire/EMS impact fee. Table ES-1 provides a summary of the calculated fees. 222 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 2 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table ES-1 Calculated Fire/EMS Impact Fee Schedule 1) Source: Table 9 2) Total impact fee (Item 1) increased by 5 percent to account for the City's administrative fee Property Type Unit Total Impact Fee(1) Total Impact Fee with 5% Admin.

Introduction Fire/EMS impact fees are used to fund capital expansion projects for fire/EMS service related facilities, land, vehicles and capital equipment required to support the additional demand created by new growth. The City of Bozeman Fire/EMS impact fees were last updated in 2012. The City retained Tindale Oliver to prepare an update study to reflect the changes in cost, credit and demand components since the last update study. It should be noted that figures calculated in this study represent the technically maximum level of impact fees that the City could charge; however, the City Commission may choose to discount the fees as a policy decision. Methodology The methodology used to update the fire/EMS impact fee is a consumption-based impact fee methodology. A consumption-based impact fee is intended to charge new growth the proportionate share of cost associated with providing fire/EMS facilities available for use by new growth. In addition, consistent with the requirements of Montana enabling legislation, a credit is subtracted from the total cost to account for the value of future non-impact fee revenue contributions (taxes, user fees, etc.) of the new development toward the construction of capacity expansion projects when non-impact fee funding is used to build capital facilities. Legal Standard Overview The impact fees recommended in this report have been developed in compliance with the Montana Impact Fee Act (Montana Code Annotated (MCA) Section 7-6-1602) by demonstrating, first that the need for system improvements to be funded with impact fee revenues results from and reasonably relates to the demands of new development. Second, the impact fee program has been developed to ensure that the expenditure of impact fee revenues will be reasonably related to the benefits accruing to new development paying the impact fees. Table 1 presents specific documents/analysis that address the requirements of the Impact Fee Act. All reference documents are available through the City offices. 224 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 4 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table 1 Compliance with Montana Impact Fee Statute (Sec. 7-6-1602) MCA Section Reference Documentation Item Document(s) Section (1) For each public facility for which an impact fee is imposed, the governmental entity must prepare and approve a service area report 2018 City of Bozeman Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study (2018 IF Study) N/A (2) The service area report is a written analysis that must: (2)(a) describe existing conditions of the facility; Fire & EMS Master Plan, August 2017 Section 3 (2)(b) establish level-of-service standards; FY 2018 Approved Budget Departmental Summaries: Fire (2)(c) forecast future additional needs for service for a defined period of time; Fire & EMS Master Plan, August 2017 Bozeman Fire Master Plan Implementation Recommendations Fire & EMS Master Plan, August 2017 Bozeman Fire Master Plan Implementation Recommendations FY 2018-2022 Capital Improvement Program Fire Impact Fee CIP Fire & EMS Master Plan, August 2017 Bozeman Fire Master Plan Implementation Recommendations FY 2018-2022 Capital Improvement Program Fire Equipment and Capital Fund CIP (2)(f) make a determination as to whether one service area or more than one service area is necessary to establish a correlation between impact fees and benefits; 2018 IF Study Section III (Service Area and Population) (2)(g) make a determination as to whether one service area or more than one service area for transportation facilities is needed to establish a correlation between impact fees and benefits; N/A N/A Fire & EMS Master Plan, August 2017 Bozeman Fire Master Plan Implementation DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 5 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table 1 (Continued) Compliance with Montana Impact Fee Statute (Sec. 7-6-1602) MCA Section Reference Documentation Item Document(s) Section (3) The service area report is a written analysis that must contain documentation of sources and methodology used for purposes of subsection (2) and must document how each impact fee meets the requirements of subsection (7) 2018 IF Study Each subsection of report includes sources for reference and address various components of subsection (7) (see below) (4) The service area report that supports adoption and calculation of an impact fee must be available to the public upon request 2018 IF Study The impact fee technical report will be adopted through a public hearing process and all documents will be made available by the City of Bozeman (5) The amount of each impact fee imposed must be based upon the actual cost of public facility expansion or improvements or reasonable estimates of the cost to be incurred by the governmental entity as a result of new development.

Inventory The City of Bozeman provides fire/EMS related services from 3 stations with 26,069 square feet, located on 1.56 acres of land. The City of Bozeman Fire/EMS buildings and land inventory is presented in Table 2. The station building value estimate is based on recent bids/estimates for a new station in the neighboring City of Belgrade, insurance values of existing stations, information from other jurisdictions, and discussions with the City’s Fire Department. Based on this review, an estimated station cost of $350 per square foot is used in the inventory valuation. The land value estimate is based primarily on land values of existing facilities and current land value estimates of vacant land of similar size to the City’s current inventory of stations, as reported by the Montana Department of Revenue (MTDOR). This analysis resulted in an estimated land value of $200,000 per acre. As shown in Table 2, the total building and land inventory value is estimated at $9.4 million; of which, $9.1 million represents building value and the remaining $310,000 land value. Appendix B provides a more detailed explanation of building and land value estimates. 228 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 8 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table 2 Fire/EMS Building and Land Inventory 1) Source: City of Bozeman 2) Building square footage (Item 1) multiplied by the estimated building value per square foot (Item 6) 3) Total acres (Item 1) multiplied by land value per acre (Item 7) 4) Sum of building value (Item 2) and land value (Item 3) 5) Building square footage and acreage figures shown are the portion associated with fire/EMS services and exclude Gallatin County’s 911 center 6) Source: Appendix B 7) Source: Appendix B Facility (1) Address (1) Year Built (1) # Bays (1) Building Square Footage (1) Total Acres (1) Building Value (2) Land Value (3) Total Building and Land Value (4) Fire Station 1 34 N.

Table 3 summarizes the total equipment and vehicle inventory value. As shown, the asset value of fire/EMS service related equipment and vehicles is estimated to total $3.9 million. Discussions with the City’s staff indicated that the estimated cost of the vehicle inventory includes necessary equipment for larger vehicles such as fire engines and ladder trucks, but not equipment for their smaller fleet such as their support vehicles. The City staff also indicated that the capital cost of equipment associated with the smaller fleet is insignificant and thus not incorporated in the vehicle cost.

Service Area and Population The City of Bozeman Fire Department provides fire/EMS related services to all areas within the city limits of Bozeman. Therefore, the proper benefit district for the provision of fire/EMS services is the entire jurisdiction. For impact fee calculations, consistent with the current adopted methodology, both call data and population are used. Appendix A provides further detail on the population analysis conducted. Table 4 presents the relationship between population growth, fire/EMS calls, and the need for additional fire/EMS related services. As shown, as the City’s population has increased, the number of fire/EMS related calls has grown as well.

Total count of calls includes all calls regardless of property use type within the City of Bozeman As presented in Appendix A, Bozeman’s population is projected to increase from 44,000 in 2018 to 72,300 in 2040, an increase of almost 65 percent. This new population will place additional burden on fire/EMS services and infrastructure. As outlined in the City’s Fire & EMS Master Plan completed in 2017, to address the growing needs, the City will need to demolish and rebuild/expand Stations 1 and 2, and build a fourth station in the western part of the city.

Level of Service Although fire departments measure level of service in terms of response time, for impact fee calculation purposes, the current level of service (LOS) for capital facilities is calculated based on stations per person. As shown in Table 5, the current level of service provided by the City of Bozeman is almost 15,000 people per station or 0.068 stations per 1,000 people.

Cost Component The cost component of the study evaluates the cost of all capital items, including buildings, land, and vehicles and equipment. Table 7 provides a summary of all capital costs, which amounts to approximately $13.4 million or $4.5 million per station. As presented, the total impact cost is estimated at $3,660 per call, which is calculated by dividing the total asset value of $13.4 million by the average annual number of fire/EMS related calls over the past five years (2012-16). The average annual number of calls used in the cost and demand components exclude calls to fire stations, jails, and police stations as these properties are exempt and their square footage is not included in the MTDOR Property Database. Please see the demand section for further detail. This high cost per call is reflective of fire departments’ utilization levels. Industry standards suggest that fire personnel should not be utilized more than 30 percent of the available time to prevent fatigue, allow for availability in the case of simultaneous incidents and personnel training for effective fire services that meet the response time goals. 234 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 14 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table 7 Total Impact Cost 1) Source: Table 2 2) Source: Table 3 3) Sum of building, land, and vehicle and equipment value (Items 1 and 2) 4) Total asset value (Item 3) divided by the number of stations 5) Source: Table 8, represents the average annual number of calls between 2012 and 2016 6) Total asset value (Item 3) divided by the average annual number of calls (Item 5) 7) Distribution of building, land, and vehicle and equipment values Component Asset Value Percent of Total Value (7) Building Value (1) $9,124,150 68.4% Land Value (1) $312,000 2.3% Vehicle and Equipment Value (2) $3,920,000 29.3% Total Asset Value (3) $13,356,150 100.0% Number of Stations (1) 3 Total Asset Value per Station (4) $4,452,050 Average Annual Number of Calls (5) 3,649 Total Impact Cost per Call (6) $3,660.22 235 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 15 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study VII. Credit Component A review of the City’s historical and future expenditures indicated that the impact fees were the only source of revenue for capacity projects over the past five years and that there are no capital expansion projects programmed to be funded with non-impact fee revenues over the next five years. Additionally, the City’s staff indicated that there is no outstanding debt related to the capital expansion of fire/EMS facilities. As such, a credit is not necessary and the net impact cost is the same as the total cost, $3,660 per call. 236 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 16 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study VIII. Demand Component In determining the impact fee for each land use on a per call basis, it is necessary to determine the service delivery to residential and non-residential land uses. In developing the call-based demand, the average annual calls by land use between 2012 and 2016 were reviewed. The following calls were excluded from the analysis: • Calls to outside of the City of Bozeman, which represented an average of 30 fire/EMS calls per year. • Calls to exempt properties were excluded because the MTDOR does not track building square footage for them. These include: o NFIRS Property Use Code 361 – Jail, Prison (not juvenile) which averaged 29 calls per year; o NFIRS Property Use Code 365 – Police Station which averaged 4 per year; and o NFIRS Property Use Code 888 – Fire Station which averaged 1 per year. With the exclusion of calls assigned to these land uses, the total annual average number of calls is reduced from 3,683 to 3,649. Of the 3,649 calls, 2,734 could be assigned to a land use. The remaining 915 calls were undetermined/outdoor (calls to streets, highways, construction sites, etc.). In order to assign all calls to the appropriate land uses, the percentage distribution of assigned calls is utilized in allocating unassigned calls to a land use. Table 8 presents this analysis. The final step in the demand calculations involves the calculation of calls per units of development, which is also presented in Table 8. As mentioned previously, residential demand is dependent upon population which is discussed in Appendix A. A review of the MTDOR Property Database was conducted to determine the square footage of non-residential land uses. As shown, the total gross area (less basement) of non-residential land uses within the City of Bozeman amount to nearly 14.1 million square feet, with retail, accommodation and food services and other (offices, banks, etc.) properties comprising the largest portions of this total. The MTDOR calculates gross square footage using the exterior measurements of the building as the appraisers do not always have access to the interior of a property. 237 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 17 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table 8 Call Based Demand Calculation 1) Source: City of Bozeman Fire Department.

Calculated Impact Fee Schedule Based on the analysis presented in this report, a fire/EMS impact fee schedule was developed for residential and non-residential land uses. Table 9 presents the total impact fee by property type. To calculate the residential fee by tier, first the residential calls per person developed in Table 8 is multiplied by the impact cost per call developed in Table 7. As shown, this calculation results in a net impact cost of $146 per resident. Next, the residential impact cost per person of $146 is multiplied by the estimated population per housing unit for each land use and for each square footage tier (single family and multi-family only). Appendix A includes additional detail regarding the estimated population per housing unit by tier. As mentioned previously, the demand for residential fees is based on the population per housing unit. This demand was developed using data from the American Housing Survey (AHS), which defines space as the square footage of unit, excluding unfinished attics, carports, attached garages, porches that are not protected from weather (such as screened porches), and mobile home hitches. Additionally, both finished and unfinished basements are included. Residential impact fees should be assessed based on this definition. To determine the impact fee for non-residential land uses, the total impact cost per call of $3,660 is multiplied by the demand coefficients (calls per 1,000 square feet) developed previously in Table 8. As mentioned in the previous section, total gross non-residential square footage excludes basements and is measured using the exterior of the building. Non-residential impact fees should be assessed based on this definition. 239 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 19 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table 9 Calculated Fire/EMS Impact Fee Schedule 1) Source: Table 8 2) Source: Table 7 3) Residential calls per person (Item 1) multiplied by the impact cost per call (Item 2) 4) Source: Appendix A, Tables A-2 (mobile home) and A-4 (single and multi-family) 5) Source: Table 8 6) For the residential tiers, residential impact cost per person (Item 3) multiplied by the population per housing unit (Item 4).

Future Demand Analysis and Revenue Estimates Future demand projections are based on the cost estimates previously calculated as part of the impact fee analysis, as well as, population projections presented in Appendix A, Table A-1. As shown in Table 10, the total asset value per person is $303, which is a measure of achieved LOS and represents the investment made by the existing population in Bozeman into the fire/EMS infrastructure. Charging new development at that rate ensures that the new development is not being charged for any deficiencies. Given that the city population is expected to increase by almost 28,300 persons by 2040, an investment of $8.6 million will be needed by 2040 to maintain the value of fire/EMS-related assets currently provided by the City. If the actual future growth is higher, the need will be greater. Similarly, if the City attracts less population than the estimates included in this study, the need will be less.

Table 11 Historical Fire/EMS Impact Fee Revenues Source: City of Bozeman Finally, it should also be noted that for impact fee purposes, revenue projections serve only as an overall guideline in planning future infrastructure needs. In their simplest form, impact fees charge each unit of new growth for the net cost (total cost less credits) of infrastructure needed to serve that unit of growth. Theoretically, if the growth rates remain high, the City will have more impact fee revenues to fund growth related projects sooner rather than later. If growth rates slow down, less revenue will be generated and the timing and need for future infrastructure improvements will be later rather than sooner.

This appendix provides supporting documentation on historical population estimates and future growth, population per housing unit which is used as the residential demand component, recent housing development, and finally job growth. Population Projections The fire/EMS impact fee program requires the use of population data in calculating the current level of service and performance standards. With this in mind, a consistent approach to developing population estimates and projections is an important component of the data compilation process. The American Community Survey (ACS) estimates Bozeman’s population at 41,761 in 2016, which is an increase of 12 percent over the 2010 Census, and a 4-percent increase over the 2015 ACS estimate of 40,319. To estimate future population levels for the City of Bozeman, projections presented in the City’s 2017 Master Transportation Plan were reviewed along with historical estimates provided in the City’s recent 2017 Fire and EMS Master Plan, 2018 Adopted Budget, and 2016 Annual Financial Report. For purposes of this impact fee study, future population growth estimates utilized in the 2017 Bozeman Transportation Master Plan is applied, which parallels the projected growth of Gallatin County and is estimated by Woods and Poole Economics. The projected average annual growth rate is estimated at 2.3 percent through 2040. Given that the Bozeman Fire Department provides services to all residents and visitors, this impact fee study considers not only the permanent population of the City, but also the number of seasonal residents and visitors as well. Therefore, for purposes of this technical analysis, the weighted seasonal population will be used in all population estimates and projections. References to population contained in this report pertain to the weighted seasonal population, unless otherwise noted. It is important to note that data related to hotel/motel occupancy was not available. Therefore, seasonal population projections are limited to the incorporation of seasonal home population, and are conservative compared to the total seasonal population the City experiences. 244 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 A-2 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table A-1 presents the City’s historical and future population levels using data from the U.S. Census, American Community Survey, as well as, the future population growth estimated in the 2017 Bozeman Transportation Master Plan, as previously mentioned. As shown, the 2018 weighted average seasonal population of the City is 44,041 and is projected to reach 72,320 by 2040, an increase of almost 65 percent. 245 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 A-3 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table A-1 City of Bozeman Population Projections 1) Source: 2000 & 2010 U.S. Census, 2007 through 2015 American Community Survey (3-Year and 5-Year estimates), and the 2017 Bozeman Transportation Master Plan for the annual average growth rate (2.3 percent) for 2017 through 2040 2) Source: 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census 3) Sum of permanent population (Item 1) and seasonal population (Item 2) 4) Annual population change between two successive years (Item 3) Year Permanent Population (1) Seasonal Population (2) Total Weighted Seasonal Pop.

To estimate the PPH, the 2016 ACS estimate for population in occupied housing units and total housing units by housing type were reviewed. As summarized in Table A-2, Bozeman’s weighted average population per housing unit amounts to 2.02 with single family homes generating an average of 2.34 people per housing unit, multi-family homes generating 1.66 people per housing unit, and mobile homes generating 1.98 people per housing unit.

Using national population per housing unit data produced by the 2015 American Housing Survey (AHS), a linear regression model was developed to predict the number of people per housing unit based on the size of the home. Table A-3 presents the AHS national PPH by household size, as well as, the square footage figures used in the linear regression equation. The AHS defines space as the square footage of a unit, excluding unfinished attics, carports, attached garages, porches that are not protected from weather (such as screened porches), and mobile home hitches. Both finished and unfinished basements are included. The residential impact fees calculated as part of this technical study are developed using this definition of space and should be assessed based on this measurement.

As of 2015, the City has a total job count of 28,000 and as a percentage of total jobs, the services industry has the largest concentration within the City (60 percent). Services includes jobs such as professional, scientific, and technical services; management of companies and enterprises; educational services; and health care and social assistance services among others. The second highest concentration of jobs is within the retail trade industry, amounting to 16 percent of total jobs. -4.0% -2.0% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 252 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 A-10 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Figure A-4 2015 Jobs by Industry Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Center for Economic Studies, OnTheMap web application Natural Resources 0% Transportation, Communication, Utilities 3% Construction 5% Manufacturing 4% Wholesale Trade 2% Retail Trade 16% Finance, Insurance, Real Estate Services 5% 60% Government Services 5% Services Includes: 1) Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 2) Management of Companies and Enterprises 3) Administration & Support, Waste Management and Remediation 4) Educational Services 5) Health Care and Social Assistance 6) Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation 7) Accommodation and Food Services 8) Other Services (excluding Public Administration) City of Bozeman, Total 2015 Jobs: 27,976 253 DRAFT Appendix B Building and Land Value Analysis Supplemental Information 254 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 B-1 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Appendix B This appendix provides the additional data and information on building and land value estimates. Building Values In determining the appropriate unit cost for building construction, the following analyses were conducted: • A review of cost associated with a recent bid/estimate in the City of Belgrade for construction for a fire station; • City of Bozeman fire/EMS station insurance values; and • A review of cost associated with recent construction costs in other jurisdictions; and • Discussions with Fire Department staff. Most recent fire station in Bozeman was built in 2010. Given the time elapsed since then, estimates/bids from nearby jurisdictions were researched. Based on the information provided by the architects involved in the construction of a new fire station in Belgrade, the estimated cost is $360 per square foot. This figure includes all site work, building construction, and a 5-percent contingency, but does not include costs associated with furniture/fixture/equipment and other soft costs, such as design, permit fees, etc. Tindale Oliver confirmed with the City of Bozeman Fire Department that the characteristics of this station is consistent with future stations in Bozeman. The insurance value of Station 3 (built in 2010) is $290 per square foot. Insurance values tend to be lower than full value since certain components of the building, such as foundation, as well as costs related to architecture/design fees, site preparation, etc. are not part of the insured value. Tindale Oliver also reviewed cost information from several other jurisdictions to supplement the local data. The costs reviewed were utilized in recent impact fee studies between 2014 and 2016 and ranged from $260 to $350 per square foot. Given this information, an average value of $350 per square foot was used for fire stations. Table B-1 summarizes this information. 255 DRAFT Tindale Oliver City of Bozeman December 2018 B-2 Fire/EMS Impact Fee Update Study Table B-1 Building Value per Square Foot 1) Source: City of Bozeman 2) Source: Recent Impact Fee Studies Land Values In order to determine land value for future fire station land purchases, the following data/information was evaluated: • Current land values of existing stations; • City of Bozeman recent purchases or appraisals, for all city purposes; and • Vacant land values as reported by the MTDOR for similarly sized parcels and location as that of the current fire/EMS inventory. The value of parcels where the existing stations are located, as reported by the MTDOR averages $548,000 per acre with a range of $417,000 per acre to $922,000 per acre. A review of recent land purchases and appraisals provided by City staff indicated that most of the parcels purchased were large parcels (greater than 8 acres up to 85 acres). The only smaller parcel (2.1 acres) was purchased for $163,000 per acre in 2014. The current median land value as reported by the MTDOR amounted to $205,000 for all vacant land of similar size to the current inventory. Based on this review, a conservative estimate of $200,000 per acre is used in the impact fee analysis. Table B-2 presents this summary.

Thomas explained that his original proposal was to have a single fee per residential unit, but based on board discussion, the consultants looked back at the tiered structure and developed supporting data. Thomas explained the factors that went into changes to the study and the tiered fee recommendation. Thomas explained that when looking at the assets and capital improvement plan, there are higher costs on the wastewater side and lower costs on the water side than the previous calculations. 06:33:25 PM (00:30:42) Ms. Rosenberry provided some clarification regarding the two sets of numbers presented. 06:35:51 PM (00:33:08) Mr. Thomas responded to questions regarding data used in calculations for the wastewater impact fee recommendation. 06:48:20 PM (00:45:37) Board Chair, James Nickelson, asked a follow-up question regarding the public comment received from Kevin Thane about modifying impact fees for affordable housing.

Kamp proposed separating single family homes from multi-family homes for the fire impact fee schedule. 07:22:13 PM (01:19:30) Ms. Rosenberry referred back to the packet memo, showing actual fees in order to provide clarification for Nilgun’s presentation, explaining that the previous single fee had been separated into three separate fees under the new proposal for fire. 07:24:18 PM (01:21:35) Josh Waldo, Bozeman Fire Chief answered questions regarding the difference in fighting fires in a single family home vs. multi-family. Chief Waldo stated that the bigger the building is, the more challenging it is to handle an emergency. 07:25:37 PM (01:22:54) Consultant, Steven Tindale, stated that 90% of calls to the fire department are not directly related to a fire, but other emergencies. Mr. Tindale also stated that there is a relationship between persons per household and fire rescue services. Following, Ms. Kamp explained the data they used, in response to committee member questions. 07:30:46 PM (01:28:03) Ms. Rosenberry explained that the Impact Fee Advisory Committee is charged with forwarding a recommendation to the City Commission for a single fee structure for residential fire impact fees or whether the fees should be separated based on residential type. 07:36:06 PM (01:33:23) Committee members directed questions toward Mr. Saunders regarding impact fee management and affordable housing. 07:40:37 PM (01:37:54) MOTION to recommend approval of the fire impact fee schedule proposed in table or option #2: Chris Budeski 07:41:26 PM (01:38:43) MOTION SECONDED Jacki McGuire 07:41:35 PM (01:38:52) Motion Discussion 07:42:42 PM (01:39:59) VOTE: All in Favor – Motion Carries 260 3. 07:42:59 PM (01:40:16) Transportation Impact Fee Schedule Review and Recommendation Ms. Rosenberry, introduced the Transportation Impact Fee Schedule and provided an overview of the components included in the determination made by consultants. 07:45:02 PM (01:42:19) Ms. Kamp provided an overview of the transportation impact fee options presented. 07:50:11 PM (01:47:28) Mr. Tindale explained the level of service components of the transportation impact fee study. Following, Ms. Rosenberry and Ms. Kamp explained the committee’s fee options (tables in packet) in more depth and responded to questions from committee members. 07:59:53 PM (01:57:10) Consultants explained the comparison numbers used in calculating construction costs within the transportation impact fee study in response to committee member questions. 08:10:26 PM (02:07:43) Mr. Saunders explained provisions in Bozeman’s Unified Development Code that state that no development can take place in an intersection that doesn’t meet the city’s D standard until the intersection has reached the planned build-out. Saunders did state that they look at other ways to provide solutions to congestion at these intersections. 08:14:01 PM (02:11:18) City Staff responded to a question asking if they were satisfied with the proposed fee tiers. Following, Saunders explained that impact fees are fees for service, not considered a tax and so all schools (not only private) are responsible for impact fees. 08:17:09 PM (02:14:26) Ms. Kamp provides a brief summary so that committee members may deliberate as to which transportation impact fee schedule to choose. The group then discussed the change in curve (fees) between homes of different sizes. 08:25:36 PM (02:22:53) Ms. Rosenberry offered more detail on the graph provided in the transportation impact fee study packet. Following, the Tindale and Oliver Consultants explained which curve the consulting firm recommended based on their past experience. 08:31:07 PM (02:28:24) Committee members deliberate on how to move forward in selecting which transportation impact fee schedule to recommend for adoption to the City Commission. 08:38:21 PM (02:35:38) MOTION to recommend approval for the demand component, separating single family versus multi-family and the alternative curve using the Plums Data. 08:39:14 PM (02:36:31) MOTION SECONDED Jacki McGuire 08:39:19 PM (02:36:36) Discussion 08:40:31 PM (02:37:48) VOTE: All in Favor – Motion Carries 261 08:40:38 PM (02:37:55) Committee members discussed the vehicle to capacity ratio (V.C. ratio) and level of service as it pertains to the transportation impact fee options. 08:47:23 PM (02:44:40) Ms. Rosenberry provided a more detailed explanation of Table #5 which shows the transportation fee split into single family and multi-family dwellings based on the increased level of service component, compared to the current impact fee. Following, committee members continued deliberation. 09:12:37 PM (03:09:54) Impact Fee Committee members and consultants discussed why the impact fees are increasing at the current rate in order to maintain a specific level of service. 09:20:07 PM (03:17:24) Ms. Rosenberry recapped the options before the committee. 09:27:14 PM (03:24:31) MOTION to recommend that the commission consider the V.C. ratio of .73: Chris Budeski 09:27:33 PM (03:24:50) MOTION SECONDED: Kristin Donald 09:27:36 PM (03:24:53) Discussion 09:29:11 PM (03:26:28) VOTE: 2 for; 2 Against 09:29:37 PM (03:26:54) MOTION to recommend to the commission to accept the report for the transportation impact fee schedule. 09:30:12 PM (03:27:29) MOTION SECONDED: Jacki McGuire 09:30:18 PM (03:27:35) VOTE: All in Favor – Motion Carries 09:32:52 PM (03:30:09) Mr. Tindale spoke briefly about intersection capacity.
