6.2Adjustments for Fees for future Development within the City of Dublin
Since 1995, the City has adopted fees to pay for the impacts of new development on fire
facilities, circulation, and public facilities and as adopted, these fees do not provide any
mechanism to allow them to be adjusted to keep pace with inflation. This Resolution would
express the City’s intent to modify these fees by annually adjusting them based on the
Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area (“CCI”) and the Land Index.
Developers and others will thus be put on notice that the City Council is in the process of
adopting an inflation adjustment for the fees.

intent to adjust fees to reflect inflation adjustments
