A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
EXPRESSING THE CITY'S INTENT TO ADJUST FIRE FACILITIES,
TRAFFIC IMPACT AND PUBLIC FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT FEES
WHEREAS, the City has authorized the following fees (together the "Fees") to pay for certain
municipal improvements to off-set certain impacts of new development:
the "Fire Facilities Fee for Future Development Within the City of Dublin," adopted by
Resolution No. 37-97 on April 15, 1997;
the "Traffic Impact Fee and Area of Benefit Fee for Future Developments Within the
Eastern Dublin Area," adopted by Resolution No. 1-95 on January 9, 1995, as revised by
Resolution No. 41-96 on April 9, 1996; and
the "Public Facilities Fee for Future Developments Within the City of Dublin," adopted by
Resolution No. 32-96 on March 26, 1996; and
WHEREAS, the cost of providing the improvements to off-set the impacts paid for by the Fees
has increased since the Fees were adopted; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to continue to provide and maintain high quality fire facilities,
circulation improvements, and public facilities for the benefit of the residents of Dublin; and
WHEREAS, the City's professional staff have advised the City Council that, in future years,
changes in the costs of providing the improvements paid for by the Fees are expected to be strongly
correlated to changes in the costs of construction and the cost of land; and
WHEREAS, in order to determine the Fees, and to provide evidence to support the above
resolutions, the City prepared various reports, which reports included appraisals of the value °fthe
properties or areas in which the improvements would be constructed; and
WHEREAS, the City shall periodically hire a qualified appraiser to reappraise the value of that
land evaluated in the reports for the Fees, adjusting the reappraisal to account for any such land which has
been acquired by the City; and
WHEREAS, the City shall compare the reappraised value of that land to the previous appraised
value of that land to determine the annual percentage increase in the value of that land (the "Land Index");
and
WHEREAS, the Engineering News Record annually publishes an index of changes in the cost of
construction for the San Francisco Bay Area (the "Construction Cost Index" or "CCI"); and
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved that:
1) The City intends to amend the Fees by annually adjusting them to reflect changes in
the Land Index and the CCI. The City presently does not intend to amend in any other way
the Fees, the impacts they off-set or the calculations upon which they are based.
2) Staff is directed to schedule public hearings (pursuant to Government Code sections
66016 et seq.) and to prepare resolutions to amend the Fees to include the automatic
adjustments as noted above.
