ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Mahendra Desai, Desai Construction and Developers, Inc., spoke regarding park
development fees.
Ed Bonanni, Bonanni Development, Inc., spoke regarding park development fees.
WORKSHOP SESSION:
The Acting City Manager reported that on June 26, 2006, the City Council approved
amended park fees. As the result of public comments from developers and questions
from members of the City Council, it was requested that a workshop be held to further
discuss park fees.
The Acting Community Development Director provided background information on this
issue, including the Quimby Act, which implemented park land fees statewide in 1998.
The last time the City addressed this issue was in 1991. He discussed park standards,
as well as fund balances in the Park Development Fee Account. The Acting
Community Development Director also reviewed State-mandated formula components
and showed what the State allows cities and counties to collect. He stated that it is a
policy decision to determine where in the range the City wishes to fall.
The Acting City Manager commented that land has gone up significantly over the last
few years and some fees have not been changed during that time. He stated that every
city has a different number, varying from $15-$60+ per square foot for the development
of a park.
The Mayor questioned staff on the Quimby Act and whether the formula was advisory,
as opposed to mandatory, for a municipality to buy into, and whether the Quimby Act
requires the City to use the appraisal figure as the acquisition cost in its formula.
The Acting Community Development Director explained what cities are entitled to and
that the acquisition cost has to be used.
255
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 9, 2006
The Assistant City Attorney reported that if the City avails itself of Park Fees, the
Quimby Act formula must be used.
Council Member McCoy and Mayor Pro Tem Luebben requested information on what
all the other Orange County cities are charging.
Mayor Sondhi stated that she would like to know the total development costs charged
per unit to a developer, including building plan check fees, building permit fees, final
tract map fees, park fees, and traffic and transportation fees.
Council Member Seymore asked about the affect of a roll-back and how it would affect
the City's future.
The Acting Community Development Director indicated that if the City went back to
1991 figures, it would still be getting park fees, but the City's flexibility on what it spends
or maintains would be reduced.
Mayor Sondhi asked how many acres the City would need to bring it up to 3 acres per
thousand and what the deficit is on acres.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben stated that he originally wanted a survey done of all the types
of fees cities charge a developer building in their city, to see if they are reasonable.
The Acting City Manager indicated that some cities charge set fees and others have
time and materials fees, and that a comparison is difficult. He stated that staff
attempted to find fees that were comparable in surrounding cities. The City's park fees
are at the upper end, but are based upon what State law allows.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben reiterated that he wanted a benchmark study to look at total
fees, on perhaps three different values of properties or three different sizes of dwelling
units.
Council Member McGill commented on the difficulty of getting a bond passed and
stated that he would like a discussion from a Parks and Recreation perspective on what
the City is short in, and what is likely to go away in a field facility usage.
Council Member McCoy stated that he felt the City is always going to need park land.
Developers will build if there is a marketplace; however, he did not want to be on the
leading edge of charging the highest fees. He felt that it was important for the City to
have a fair fee, but the City needs to invest in parks in the future. He stated that he
wanted to see what fees other cities are charging in order to make the City's fees
competitive.
Mayor Pro Tem Luebben stated that he feel the City needs to increase park fees but
would like to examine the overall fee structure. He stated that perhaps the City could
phase in park fees.
Mayor Sondhi asked if the information included in the report on seven cities was
comprehensive enough, if it was expanded to include a larger pool of cities. She would
like information on alternatives or other creative ways that could be utilized to get more
money to put into park land.
Council Member McCoy asked if there were any other fees the City hasn't looked at.
The Acting Community Development Director stated that the Building and Planning fees
were addressed earlier this year. The Building Industry Association (BIA) does a survey
annually on what cities charge. He explained that staff was trying to provide "apples to
apples" information and that north and south county cities are not comparable, because
of special fees relating to geography and transportation, but staff will try to expand the
report.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 9, 2006
Council Member McGill stated that he would like to see what all the cities charge,
including those other fees, even if the comparison is "apples to oranges," and that he
would like a refinement of the numbers, and a "big picture view" of the hypothetical cost
of acquisition or development of a park.
Mayor Sondhi expressed her concern that the park fee was not really solving the
problem and that perhaps the City needed to focus on some other strategies.
The Acting City Manager indicated that park fees will not buy new parks and if the City
is going to be buying park land, another source will be needed. He stated that none of
the Quimby Act fees can be used for park maintenance, but for the purchase of a park
or work on park facilities and that the fees must be spent within five years of collecting
them.
The Acting City Manager explained what funds were used for the Cypress Community
Center project.
It was the consensus of the City Council to schedule another workshop on this item at
the first meeting in November.
The Assistant City Attorney reported that the City Council would be meeting in Closed
Session regarding Public Employee Appointment, pursuant to Government Code
Section 54957, Title: City Manager.
The Assistant City Attorney reported that the Redevelopment Agency would be meeting
in Closed Session regarding Conference with Real Property Negotiators, pursuant to
Government Code Section 54956.8, Real Property Identified by APN Numbers 134-
011-43 & 45, Located at 6122 Lincoln Avenue, Negotiating Party: Acting Executive
