Ensure that adequate Public Facilities are available to serve new growth and Development; and 2. Promote orderly growth and Development by establishing uniform standards by which local governments, such as the City and the District, may require those who benefit from new growth and Development to pay [development impact fees] their Proportionate Share of the costs of new Public Facilities needed to serve that new growth and Development; and 3. Establish minimum standards for adoption of development impact fee ordinances by cities; and 4. Ensure that those who benefit from new growth and Development are required to pay no more than their Proportionate Share of the cost of Public Facilities needed to serve that new growth and Development and to prevent duplicate and ad hoc Development Requirements; and 5. To empower cities to adopt ordinances to impose development impact fees. (E) The Act does not authorize the District to enact a development impact fee ordinance; and Page 2 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 (F) The Act does provide, pursuant to I.C. § 67-8204A, in circumstances where the City and the District are both affected by considerable growth and Development as is occurring within the City, that the City and the District may enter into the Intergovernmental Agreement for the purpose of agreeing to collect and expend development impact fees for System Improvements which provides for a new funding mechanism for those System Improvements Costs incurred by the District to meet the demand and growth occurring within the City, and which promotes and accommodates orderly growth and Development, and protects the public health, safety and general welfare of the residents within the boundaries of the City; and (G) New growth within the City imposes and will impose increasing and excessive demands upon the existing District's capital facilities; and (H) New growth within the City is expected to continue, and will place ever-increasing demands on the District to provide and expand the District's capital facilities to serve that new growth; and (I) The tax revenues generated from new Development within the City are often insufficient to provide the necessary improvements and expansion of existing District' capital facilities to accommodate for that new growth; and (J) Section 67-8204A of the Act authorizes the City to adopt an impact fee system and to enter into the Intergovernmental Agreement with the District to offset, recoup, or reimburse the portion of the costs of needed improvements to the District's capital facilities caused by new growth and Development in the City; and (K) The creation of an equitable impact fee system facilitated by the Intergovernmental Agreement with the District will promote the purposes set forth in the Act, in that it would: (a) ensure that adequate District Capital Facilities are available to serve new growth and Development; (b) promote orderly growth and Development by establishing uniform standards by which the City may require that those who benefit from new growth and Development pay a Proportionate Share of the cost of new District Capital Facilities needed to serve new growth and Development in the City; (c) establish minimum standards for the adoption of District impact fees; (d) ensure that those who benefit from new growth and Development are required to pay no more than their Proportionate Share of the cost of District Capital Facilities needed to serve new growth and Development in the City; and (e) prevent duplicate and ad hoc Development Requirements in the City; and (L) The Capital Improvements Plan contains the Capital Improvements planned by the District during the term of the Capital Improvements Plan, and such element has been developed in conformance with the requirements Chapter 82 of Title 67, Idaho Code; and (M) The Capital Improvements Plan sets forth reasonable methodologies and analyses for determining the impacts of various types of new Development on the District's capital Page 3 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 , (N) (Q) facilities and determines the cost of acquiring or constructing the improvements necessary to meet the demands for such facilities created by new Development; and In accordance with Idaho Code, the Capital Improvements Plan was based on actual System Improvement Costs or reasonable estimates of such costs. In addition, the Capital Improvements Plan uses a fee calculation methodology that is net of credits for the Present Value of revenues that will be generated by new growth and Development based on historical funding patterns and that are anticipated to be available to pay for System Improvements, including taxes, assessments, user fees, and intergovernmental transfers; and The District impact fees established by this title are based on the Capital Improvements Plan, and do not exceed a proportionate share of System Improvement Costs to serve new Development that will pay the District Impact Fees; and The District's capital facilities, included in the calculation of fees in the Capital Improvements Plans, will benefit all new residential Development throughout the City, and it is therefore appropriate to treat all areas of the City as a single Service Area for purposes of calculating, collecting, and spending the District Impact Fees collected from Developers; and There is both a rational nexus and a rough proportionality between Development impacts created by each type of Development covered by this title, the development impact fees assessment of such Development covered by this title, and the development impact fees that such Developer will be required to pay; and (R) This title creates a system by which development impact fees paid by Developers will be used to finance, defray, or reimburse a portion of the costs incurred by the District to construct and/or purchase System Improvements in ways that benefit the Development for which each development impact fee was paid within a reasonable period of time after the development impact fee is paid, and in conformance with I.C. § 67-8210; and (S) This title creates a system under which development impact fees shall not be used to correct existing deficiencies for any District Capital Facilities, or to replace or rehabilitate existing District Capital Facilities, or to pay for routine operation or maintenance of those facilities; and (T) This title creates a system under which there shall be no double payment of development impact fees, in accordance with I.C. § 67-8204(19); and (U) This title is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Act concerning development impact fee ordinances. 10.1.5: PURPOSE (A) This 'title is adopted to be consistent with, and to help implement the Capital Improvements Plan. Page 4 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 (B) The intent of this title is to ensure that new Development bears a Proportionate Share of the cost of System Improvements; to ensure that such Proportionate Share does not exceed the cost of such System Improvements required to accommodate new Development; and to ensure that funds collected from new Development are used for System Improvements in accordance with the Act. (C) It is the further intent of this title to be consistent with those principles for allocating a fair share of the cost of System Improvements to new Development, and for adopting development impact fee ordinances, established by the Act. (D) It is not the intent of this title to collect any more fees from any new Development than the actual amount necessary to offset new demands for System Improvements created by such new Development. (E) It is the intent of this title that any monies collected, as an imposed District Impact Fee, are deposited in the District Impact Fees capital projects Trust Fund account, are never commingled with monies from a different impact fee account, are never used for a development impact fee component different from that for which the fee was paid, are never used to correct current deficiencies in the District Capital Facilities, and are never used to replace, rehabilitate, maintain or operate any District Capital Facilities. 10.1.6: ADVISORY COMMITTEE/ CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN (A) The City has formed an Advisory Committee as required by I.C. § 67-8205, and the committee has performed the duties required of it pursuant to I.C. §§ 67-8205 and 67- 8206(2). The City and the District intend that the committee will continue to exist and perform those duties identified in I.C. § 67-8205 that occur following the adoption of this Development Impact Fee Ordinance. (B) The District has planned for the improvement of the District Capital Facilities in the Capital Improvements Plan. (C) The creation of an equitable impact fee system would enable the City to accommodate new Development and would assist the District in implementing the Capital Improvements Element of the Capital Improvements Plan. (D) In order to implement an equitable impact fee system for the District facilities, the City adopted by resolution and the District adopted by resolution the McCall Fire Protection District Impact Fee Study and Capital Improvement Plan (the "Capital Improvements Plan"). A qualified professional in fields related to finance, engineering, planning and transportation was hired by the District to assist the Advisory Committee in the preparation of the study. (E) The methodology used in the Capital Improvements Plan, as applied through this title, complies with all applicable provisions of Idaho law, including those set forth in I.C. §§ 67-8204(1), (2), (16) and (23), 67-8207 and 67-8208. The incorporation of the Capital Improvements Plan by reference satisfies the requirement in I.C. § 67-8204(16) for a detailed description of the methodology by which the District impact fees were Page 5 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 calculated, and the requirement in I.C. § 67-8204(24) for a description of acceptable levels of service for the District's System Improvements. (F) In determining the Proportionate Share of the District services System Improvements Costs, the Capital Improvements Plan has considered: 1. the cost of the existing System Improvements; and 2. how the existing System Improvements have been financed; and 3. the extent to which the new Development will contribute to System Improvement Costs through taxation, assessment, or Developer or landowner contributions, or has previously contributed to System Improvement Costs through Developer or landowner contributions; and 4. the extent to which the new Development is required to contribute to System Improvement Costs in the future; and 5. the extent to which the new Development should be credited for providing System Improvements, without charge to other properties within the Service Area or areas; and 6.

Credit for qualifying land dedications shall, at the Fee Payer's option, be valued at the Present Value of: 1. one hundred (100) percent of the most recent assessed value for such land as shown in the records of the county assessor; or 2. that fair market value established by a private Idaho licensed appraiser acceptable to the District in an appraisal paid for by the Fee Payer. (B) Improvements. Credit for qualifying acquisition or construction of System Improvements shall be valued by the District at the Present Value of such improvements based on complete engineering drawings, specifications, and construction cost estimates submitted Page 15 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 by the Fee Payer to the District. The District Administrator shall determine the amount of credit due based on the information submitted, or, if it determines that such information is inaccurate or unreliable, then on alternative engineering or construction costs acceptable to the District as a more accurate measure of the value of the offered System Improvements to the District. 10.7.4: WHEN CREDITS BECOME EFFECTIVE (A) Land. Approved credits for land dedications shall become effective when the land has been conveyed to the District in a form acceptable to the District, at no cost to the District, and has been accepted by the District. Upon request of the Fee Payer, the District shall issue a letter stating the amount of credit available. (B) Improvements. Approved credits for acquisition or construction of System Improvements shall generally become effective when (a) all required construction has been completed and has been accepted by the District, (b) a suitable maintenance and warranty bond has been received and approved by the District, and (c) all design, construction, inspection, testing, bonding, and acceptance procedures have been completed in compliance with all applicable requirements of the District and the State of Idaho. Upon request of the Fee Payer, the District shall issue a letter stating the amount of credit available. 10.7.5: CREDIT REQUEST PROCEDURES (A) Request. In order to obtain a credit against a District impact fee otherwise due, a Fee Payer shall submit to the City a written offer of request to dedicate to the District specific parcels of qualifying land or a written offer to contribute or construct specific System Improvements to the District Capital Facilities in accordance with all applicable state or City design and construction standards, and shall specifically request a credit against the type of District Impact Fee for which the land dedication or System Improvements is offered. The City shall then deliver the written offer of request to the District Administrator. (B) Review. After receipt of the written offer of request for credit, the District Administrator shall review the request and determine whether the land or System Improvements offered for credit will reduce the costs of providing District Capital Facilities by an amount at least equal to the value of the credit. If the District Administrator determines that the offered credit satisfies those criteria and will be acceptable to the Board of Commissioners, then the credit shall be issued. The District shall complete its review and determination of an application within thirty (30) days after receipt of an application for credit. (C) Credits exceeding fee amounts due. If the credit due to a Fee Payer pursuant to sections, above, exceeds the District Impact Fee that would otherwise be due from the Fee Payer pursuant to this title (whether calculated through the fee schedule attached to the capital improvement plan or through an independent assessment), the Fee Payer may choose to receive such credit in the form of either: 1. a credit against future District Impact Fee due for the same System Improvements; or 2. a reimbursement from District Impact Fees paid by future Development that impacts the System Improvements contributed or dedicated by the Fee Payer. Unless Page 16 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 otherwise stated in an agreement with the Fee Payer, the District shall be under no obligation to use any District funds - other than District Impact Fees paid by other Development for the same System Improvements - to reimburse the Fee Payer for any credit in excess of the District Impact Fees that are due. (D) Written agreement required. If credit or reimbursement is due to the Fee Payer pursuant to this section, the District shall enter into a written agreement with the Fee Payer, negotiated in good faith, prior to the contribution, dedication, or funding of the System Improvements giving rise to the credit. The agreement shall provide for the amount of credit or the amount, time and form of reimbursement, and shall have a term not exceeding ten (10) years. (E) The District Administrator's determination on the written offer of request for credit shall be provided to the Fee Payer and the City. CHAPTER 8 METHODOLOGY FOR THE CALCULATION OF DISTRICT IMPACT FEES 10.8.1: GENERAL PROVISIONS (A) Accounting principles. The calculation of the District Impact Fee shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A development impact fee shall not be deemed invalid because payment of the fee may result in an incidental benefit to owners or Developers within the Service Area other than the Fee Payer. (B) Levels of service. The District Impact Fee shall be calculated on the basis of levels of service for Public Facilities adopted in this title that are applicable to existing Development as well as new growth and Development. The construction, improvement, expansion or enlargement of new or existing Public Facilities for which the District Impact Fee are imposed must be attributable to the capacity demands generated by the new Development. 10.8.2: METHODOLOGY; PROPORTIONATE METHODOLOGY The District impact fee shall not exceed a Proportionate Share of the cost of the System Improvements determined in accordance with I.C. § 67-8207, as amended. District impact fees shall be based on actual System Improvement Costs or reasonable estimates of such costs. The amount of the District impact fee shall be calculated using the methodology contained in the Capital Improvements Plan. 10.8.3: PROPORTIONATE SHARE DETERMINATION (A) The District Impact Fee shall be based on a reasonable and fair formula or method under which the District Impact Fee imposed does not exceed a Proportionate Share of the costs incurred or to be incurred by the District in the provision of System Improvements to Page 17 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 serve the new Development. The Proportionate Share is the costs attributable to the new Development after the District considers the following: 1. Any appropriate credit, offset or contribution of money, dedication of land or construction of System Improvements; and 2. Payments reasonably anticipated to be made by or as a result of a new Development in the form of user fees and debt service payments; and 3. That portion of general tax or other revenues allocated by the District to System Improvements; and 4. All other available sources of funding such System Improvements. (B) In determining the Proportionate Share of the cost of System Improvements to be paid by the Developer, the following factors shall be considered by the District and accounted for in the calculation of the District Impact Fees: 1. The costs of existing System Improvements within the Service Area; and 2. The means by which existing System Improvements have been financed; and 3. The extent to which the new Development will contribute to System Improvement Costs through taxation, assessments, or Developer or landowner contributions, or has previously contributed to System Improvement Costs through Developer or landowner contributions; and 4. The extent to which the new Development is required to contribute to the cost of existing System Improvements in the future; and 5. The extent to which the new Development should be credited for providing System Improvements, without charge to other properties within the Service Area; and 6. Extraordinary Costs, if any, incurred in serving the new Development; and 7. The time and price differential inherent in a fair comparison of fees paid at different times; and 8. The availability of other sources of funding System Improvements including, but not limited to, user charges, general tax levies, intergovernmental transfers, and special taxation. CHAPTER 9 EXTRAORDINARY IMPACTS 10.9.1: EXTRAORDINARY IMPACTS: Determinations of Extraordinary Impacts are made as follows: (A) In the event the City makes an initial determination that a Development may impose an Extraordinary Impact, the City shall provide the Development application to the District Administrator along with the City's initial determination. The District Administrator shall Page 18 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 then review and determine whether the Development application will impose Extraordinary Impact. (B) If the District Administrator determines that a proposed Development generates Extraordinary Impact that will result in extraordinary Systems Improvement Costs, the District Administrator will notify the Fee Payer and the City of such District Impact Fee determination within thirty (30) days after District Administrator's receipt from the City of the Development application and the City's initial determination. Such notice shall include a statement that the potential impacts of such Development on System Improvements are not adequately addressed by the Capital Improvements Plan, and that a supplemental study, at the Fee Payer's expense, will be required. (C) Circumstances that may lead to a determination of Extraordinary Impact include, but are not limited to: 1. an indication the assumptions used in the Capital Improvements Plan underestimate the level of activity or impact on District Capital Facilities from the proposed Development or activity. (D) Within thirty (30) days following the designation of a Development with Extraordinary Impact, the District Administrator shall meet with the Fee Payer to discuss whether the Fee Payer wants to: 1. pay for the supplemental study necessary to determine the System Improvement Costs related to the proposed Development; or 2. modify the proposal to avoid generating Extraordinary Impact; or 3. withdraw the application for certification, Building Permit or Development. (E) If the Fee Payer agrees to pay for the supplemental study required to document the proposed Development's Proportionate Share of System Improvement Costs, then the District and the Fee Payer shall jointly select an individual or organization acceptable to both to perform such study. The Fee Payer shall enter into a written agreement with such individual or organization to pay the costs of such study. Such agreement shall require the supplemental study to be completed within thirty (30) days of such written agreement unless the Fee Payer agrees to a longer time. (F) Once the study has been completed, the Fee Payer may choose to: 1. pay the Proportionate Share of System Improvement Costs documented by the supplemental study; or 2. modify the proposed Development to reduce such costs; or 3. withdraw the application. If the Fee Payer agrees to pay the System Improvement Costs documented in the supplemental study, that agreement shall be reduced to writing between the District and the Fee Payer prior to review and consideration of any application for any Development or Building Permit related to the proposed Development. (G) Notwithstanding any agreement by the Fee Payer to pay the Proportionate Share of System Improvement Costs documented by the supplemental study, nothing in this Page 19 of 29 Ordinance No. 1020 re: McCall Fire Protection District Development Impact Fees September 7, 2023 ordinance shall obligate the City to approve Development that results in an Extraordinary Impact to the District.

Any refund due shall be paid to the owner of record of the parcel for which the District impact fee was paid. The District may hold District Impact Fees for longer than eight (8) years if the District identifies in writing and in written notice to the owner of record of the parcel: 1. a reasonable cause why the fees should be held longer than eight (8) years; and (b) an anticipated date by which the fees will be expended, but in no event greater than eleven (11) years from the date they were collected. If the District complies with the previous sentence, then any District Impact Fees so identified shall be refunded to the Fee Payer if the District fails to commence construction of System Improvements in accordance with the written notice, or to Appropriate funds for such construction on or before the date identified in such writing. (C). No refund due for subsequent reduction in size of development or Service Units. After a District Impact Fee has been paid pursuant to this title and after a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the City, no refund of any part of such fee shall be made if the Project for which the fee was paid is later demolished, destroyed, or is altered, reconstructed, or reconfigured so as to reduce the size of the Project or the number of units in the Project. (D) Interest. Each refund shall include a refund of interest at one-half the legal rate provided for in I.C. § 28-22-104 from the date on which the fee was originally paid.
