STRATEGIC PLAN:2.2 Infrastructure Investments: Strategically invest in infrastructure as a mechanism to encourage economic development. BACKGROUND:The City draws from multiple sources to construct and maintain its street system. Impact Fees are a primary revenue source for construction of new and expanded roads and traffic control. The Community Development Board is assigned the formal responsibility for making recommendations regarding impact fees to the City Commission. The Transportation Board makes recommendations on transportation related policy issues. Impact fees overlap both areas of responsibility. In order to help recommendations and policy development be effective and coordinated. The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is prepared annually and coordinates policies and projects for many City services, including transportation. This agenda item is training on the impact fee program and CIP process so the Transportation Board can understand and engage effectively. Chris Saunders, Community Development Manager, will provide the presentation along with members of the Transportation and Engineering Department. Some information on impact fees and the CIP is attached to this agenda. Impact fee web page on the City’s website. Capital Improvement Plan FY2023-2027 web page on the City’s website. Infrastructure viewer on the City’s website (the CIP information becomes available if you click on the + sign next to the Transportation layer group and then click the box next to the CIP layer) UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None ALTERNATIVES:None. FISCAL EFFECTS: None. Attachments: 11 20220824_Impact Fee and CIP Overview memo.pdf 20220824_Impact Fee and CIP Overview presentation.pdf Report compiled on: July 20, 2022 12 MEMORANDUM TO: TRANSPORTATION BOARD FROM: CHRIS SAUNDERS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER DATE: AUGUST 24, 2022 SUBJECT: IMPACT FEE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TRAINING The City has multiple processes regarding the funding, construction, and maintenance of our transportation system. The Transportation Board (TB) has certain advisory responsibilities about these programs, see Resolution 5326. The Community Development Board also has responsibilities which touch on transportation, see Resolution 5330. The primary role of the Community Development Board (CDB) is in its capacity as the Impact Fee Advisory Committee (IFAC) is oversight on the calculation and use of impact fees. This responsibility is assigned in state law. The advisory board processes provide an opportunity for public input and awareness of the transportation policies, impact fee program, and that use of fees meets established criteria for approval. The Staff will provide training and an overview of the impact fee program and Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) on July 27, 2022. This memo is in support of that presentation and training. There are numerous references to state and local law in this memo. If the reference has a pattern of ##-#-### or is followed by MCA that is a reference to state law. If the reference has a pattern of XX.XXX.XXX or is followed by BMC that is a reference to Bozeman law. Authority for Impact Fees The State authorizes but does not require local governments to have impact fees. Local regulations must be in alignment with enabling legislation – 7-6-16 et. seq. MCA, passed by the state. The impact fee enabling language has some elements that are quite specific and some that are quite general. There are specific purposes and certain procedures required.. (5) (a) "Impact fee" means any charge imposed upon development by a governmental entity as part of the development approval process to fund the additional service capacity required by the development from which it is collected. An impact fee may include a fee for the administration of the impact fee not to exceed 5% of the total impact fee collected. (b) The term does not include: (i) a charge or fee to pay for administration, plan review, or inspection costs associated with a permit required for development; 13 Page 2 of 4 (ii) a connection charge; (iii) any other fee authorized by law, including but not limited to user fees, special improvement district assessments, fees authorized under Title 7 for county, municipal, and consolidated government sewer and water districts and systems, and costs of ongoing maintenance; or (iv) onsite or offsite improvements necessary for new development to meet the safety, level of service, and other minimum development standards that have been adopted by the governmental entity. Bozeman implements impact fees through 2.06.1600 et. seq. BMC. This part of the municipal code contains the locally adopted standards to implement state requirements and to establish local procedures. Bozeman chooses to use impact fees for Fire/Emergency Services, Water, Sewer, and Transportation services. Impact fees can only be used to fund construction to serve new development. The great majority of impact fee administration occurs at the staff level. The City Manager appoints an Impact Fee Coordinator (IFC) who takes care of most daily work. The IFC is Chris Saunders. The impact fee collection and expenditure follows standard governmental practices for accounting and reporting. Further details are provided below. Growth Policy Bozeman Community Plan 2020 is the seventh long range city-wide land use plan for the community. The BCP2020 and its predecessors provide guidance, along with relevant facility plans, for priorities in how the City installs infrastructure. For several decades, the facility plans and growth policies have encouraged redevelopment, infill, and careful incremental expansion of the City. All of these activities require infrastructure capacity. Data Infrastructure Viewer. The City has created a web based viewer for infrastructure information. This can show locations and details on public utilities like water and sewer pipes, facility plan information for where service expansions are expected, and floodplains. This is “live” information and as new work is completed it is added to the map. If you click on a + sign next to the name of a layer it will open more detailed information. The infrastructure viewer includes information on existing and future construction. Capital Improvement Program. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is available through the City’s website. It looks at capital spending from all funding sources over the next five years. It coordinates between funding sources, provides transparency in decision making, and establishes discipline in funding decisions. The CIP is a core element of the City’s budget process. 14 Page 3 of 4 Community Development Board Responsibilities Regarding Impact Fees and CIP A local government wishing to establish impact fees must have an impact fee advisory committee. The City Commission has assigned these duties to the Community Development Board. 7-6-1604. Impact fee advisory committee. (1) A governmental entity that intends to propose an impact fee ordinance or resolution shall establish an impact fee advisory committee. (2) An impact fee advisory committee must include at least one representative of the development community. The committee shall review and monitor the process of calculating, assessing, and spending impact fees. (3) The impact fee advisory committee shall serve in an advisory capacity to the governing body of the governmental entity. There are two activities by which the CDB meets its responsibilities. 1) The City prepares an impact fee study for each type of fee every four years. This study examines existing conditions, identifies needed future improvements which impact fees may fund, identifies costs of construction, and establishes the cost per unit of service. These various elements are required by 7-6-1602. The IFAC provides a public forum for this work. The City chooses a contractor to do the analysis and prepare the needed documentation. These studies are the basis for assessing and collecting impact fees. 2) Each fall the City prepares a CIP which identifies upcoming construction projects and funding sources. This is the process the City uses to expend impact fees. The IFAC reviews the recommended CIP prepared by staff and provides a recommendation to the City Commission. This typically takes two meetings and happens in late October and early November. Members of the public can suggest projects for inclusion. A key element of the CIP is the scheduling of work. Ex Parte Communication Review of impact fee studies and recommendations for Capital Improvements to the City Commission are policy actions. The City has discretion within the state set boundaries for impact fees to find a balance between the many community priorities. The public and applicant have the right to be aware of what factors are being considered during evaluation of impact fees and to have decisions made by impartial parties. Policy making actions and the restrictions on contact outside of public meetings are less than for quasi-judicial actions like subdivision. However, there is still a need for transparency in decision making. For this reason, Board members should encourage commenters to submit comments through the formal channels of agenda@bozeman.net email or presentation at a meeting where the item is being discussed. If someone discusses a pending application with you please notify other board members on the record at the beginning of the action item on the agenda of the substance of the conversation. If you have questions on an application that you do not believe can properly wait until the public meeting please contact the staff member identified on the staff report. 15 Page 4 of 4 Making Adequate Findings Board decisions must adequately explain what the Board decided and upon what considerations it based its findings. Findings are the legal footprints of a review to explain how the reviewer progressed from facts through established policies to the final decision. Findings must be based on substantial evidence in light of the whole record of the review. Findings: 1. Provide a framework for making principled decisions 2. Help make analysis orderly and reduce likelihood of missing steps in the analysis 3. Enable all interested parties to determine whether and on what basis judicial review of a decision should be sought 4. Show to a reviewing court the basis for the agency’s action 5. Show to the public that review is careful, reasoned, and equitable The staff recommendations that come during evaluation of CIP proposals or fee studies address all five purposes. The Board does not have to reinvent all the staff findings. In the cover memos included with each packet recommended language will be included to adopt the staff findings for that item. If the Board concludes the staff findings are correct, no further findings are needed. If the Board finds differently than staff on an element of review the Board member should articulate the criteria, relevant facts, and how they reached a different conclusion. Such Board statements then become part of the record for the City Commission to consider in making their own decision. Depending on the degree of difference, the final motion by the Board may need to be revised to identify the differences in findings from the staff recommendation. Public Comment The public is welcome to comment on any item that comes before the Community Development Board. Public comment can be submitted by any member of the public in support, opposition, or otherwise. Regardless of the content of the comment, for it to be actionable in the review process it must connect back to the review criteria. This becomes an important part of the Findings process if as a result of comment a decision is made. Comments not related to the criteria are still accepted as part of the review but are not actionable to justify a decision. 16 Wednesday, August 24, 2022 Transportation BoardImpact Fee and CIP Overview17 Enabling LegislationTitle 7 Chapter 6 Part 16 – Impact Fees to Fund Capital Improvements – State lawChapter 2, Article 6 Division 9 – Impact Fees – Local Ordinance18 What Are Impact Fees?• One time charges to new development• Fees - not taxes• Based on consumption of service capacity• Four types used by BozemanoTransportationoWateroSeweroFire/Emergency Medical19 Purpose of Impact Fees• Equity• Public safety • Infrastructure concurrency• Remove barriers from development• Implement growth policy and facility plans by increasing capacity to serve new development• Cost efficiency from coordinated projects 20 Standards for Impact Fees• Capacity expanding• Long term life cycle (minimum of 10 years)• Expansion only, no maintenance or operations• Rough proportion between fee and demand increase• Factually based• Documented methodology• Must stay up to date• Capital Improvement Program• Not used to fix existing deficiencies 21 Impact Fee Advisory Committee7-6-1604.

STRATEGIC PLAN:4.5 Housing and Transportation Choices: Vigorously encourage, through a wide variety of actions, the development of sustainable and lasting housing options for underserved individuals and families and improve mobility options that accommodate all travel modes. BACKGROUND:In fiscal year 2023, the City of Bozeman has $500,000 set aside for bicycle and pedestrian specific projects. STR132 Bike and Ped Improvement Project was added to the CIP by the Commission after hearing there was a need for significant additional funding for stand alone bicycle and pedestrian projects. This is a one time source of funding. The funds do not all need to be expended in FY23 as these funds can be carried forward into future fiscal years. Staff has worked with previous advisory boards on prioritization of bicycle and pedestrian projects. These previous efforts were to prioritize projects for the $50,000 available in STR20 Annual Bike Path Improvement. Because of the funding available through STR20, the projects that were prioritized were smaller projects such as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), additional sidewalk and pathway ramps, and small areas of sidewalk infill. With the increase in funding available in STR20 the list of potential projects widens considerably. The Transportation Master Plan contains numerous recommended stand alone bicycle and pedestrian projects including Spot Improvements starting on page 89 and Bicycle Improvements starting on page 98. A number of these recommendations are outside city limits and are included because of the study area for the plan. There are several projects and expenditures that have are already committed that will be funded from STR132. They include a contribution to the Parks Recreation and Active Transportation Plan (PRAT), the construction of two infill segments of shared use path along N 19th Ave, and the installation of an RRFB on N Willson at Garfield St. For the remaining 34 funds, staff has identified list of potential projects for discussion. The needs for bicycle and pedestrian projects can generally be grouped into three type categories: crossing improvements, infill projects, and extension of the network. Additionally the different projects require different levels of design each with different cost and timing implications. The balance of these factors is an important consideration in the prioritization process. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None. ALTERNATIVES:As suggested by the Board. FISCAL EFFECTS:STR 132 is in the CIP with an identified amount of funding. Discussion of this will not have a fiscal effect.
