DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors accept the annual report on the Dixon Public Library District Impact Fee for FY2018/19 as required by Government Code section 66006(b).
SUMMARY:
The annual disclosure and review of district library impact fees is required by section 66006(b) of the Government Code and per the agreement the District has with the County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the County General Fund to receive this report. Impact fees collected by the County on behalf of the Dixon Public Library District are deposited into the District’s account and distributed by the Auditor-Controller’s Office. The County retains one percent of the fees collected for administrative responsibilities.
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the department’s FY2019/20 Adopted Budget.
DISCUSSION:
Government code sections 66000 et seq. provides for the establishment and collection of a public facilities impact fee to fund expansion of local government facilities to meet growth requirements. In FY 1992/93, Solano County adopted a fee on new construction in both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County. In 2004, Solano County agreed to collect a library facilities fee component of the public facilities fee on behalf of the Dixon Public Library District within the boundaries of the District. Since that time, the Dixon Public Library District has utilized this fee towards capital projects.
On December 8, 2015, the Solano County Board of Supervisors passed and adopted resolution that established the amount of the facilities impact fees for Dixon Public Library District which became effective on February 8, 2016.
In order to comply with the Mitigation Fee Act, Government Code section 66006(b) requires a review and disclosure of impact fee funds annually. The Dixon Public Library District provided this information at its noticed Governing Board of Library Trustees meeting on November 22, 2019 where the information was also available to the public.
In compliance with Government Code section 66006(b)(2), a notice of the time and place of this meeting, including the address where this information may be reviewed, is mailed at least 15-days prior to today’s Board meeting to all interested parties who have filed a written request with the Clerk of the Board. Notification was sent to all parties on file and a notice was published in the legal section of the Daily Republic.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to accept the Dixon Public Library District disclosures. This action is not recommended as the disclosures are required by the Mitigation Fee Act to provide information to the public concerning collections and expenditures of library impact fees. As long as the County collects these fees on behalf of the Dixon Public Library District, this disclosure will be required.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Dixon Public Library District received and approved the attached disclosure report at their November 22, 2019 District Board meeting.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
