DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Resource Management recommends that the Board of Supervisors:
1. Receive the annual report and Capital Improvement Plan for the English Hills Transportation Impact Fee Program for FY2024/25; and

Each year, the Board is required by State law to review the English Hills Transportation Impact Fee program ("Program"), adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2001. The Board must adopt a resolution approving the Capital Improvement Plan for the Program and must also include findings relative to expended and unexpended funds generated by the fee program. In FY2024/25, the Program did not fund any improvements, ending the fiscal year with a balance totaling $234,309 (Attachment C). Given the small existing fund balance, staff's recommendation is not to fund any projects shown in the English Hills Transportation Impact Fee Area Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) (Attachment B) in FY2025/26 and to wait until the fund balance grows to a larger amount.
State law also requires the Board of Supervisors provide a comprehensive review of the adequacy of the fee every 5 years. The last 5-year review was completed in 2021, resulting in the County reducing fees due to the completion of CIP improvements and adjusting the fee for secondary dwelling units.
