TASK 3: ASCERTAIN DEMAND FACTORS AND LEVELS-OF-SERVICE FOR “NECESSARY PUBLIC
SERVICES”
Communities in Arizona may assess development fees for “necessary public services” which have a useful
life of more than three years and that are owned and operated on behalf of the City and within the
incorporated boundary.
There are several important subtasks that are outlined below:
§
Proportionate Share – Determine the proportionate share of the cost of “necessary public
services,” based on service units needed to provide such services to new development.
§
Determine Existing Levels-of-Service – The costs for the “necessary public services” required to
serve new development are based on the same level-of-service being provided to existing
development in the service area. We will determine the existing level-of-service by conducting
onsite interviews, evaluating the appropriate studies, and analyzing relevant local data. These
onsite interviews will also include discussions about and defining of the infrastructure components
to be included in the IIP and development fees.
§
Determine Service Areas – Specify the area(s) within the City’s boundaries in which development
will be served by the “necessary public services” or facility expansions and that a substantial nexus
exists between the necessary public services or facility expansions and the development being
served as prescribed in the IIP.
The above subtasks will enable us to ensure that three important development fee requirements are met,
collectively referred to as rational nexus requirements: demonstration of impact, benefit, and proportionality.
Meetings:
Two (2) meetings with City staff to discuss capital facility needs and levels of service.
Deliverables:
Technical Memorandum Discussing Recommended Service Areas by Fee Category.
TASK 4: IDENTIFY CAPITAL NEEDS AND COSTS
This task will determine the relevant capital needs and costs due to growth.
1) Long-Range Capital Need – TischlerBise will focus on relevant documents such as relevant
master plans, relevant development agreements, the current Capital Improvements Plan, and
other mapping and data that is available. Discussions will aim not only to understand the specific
costs, but also to assess the size and scope of projects and whether capital facility needs are
due to normal replacement, catch-up, or new demand.
2) Service Units – TischlerBise will define the standardized measures of consumption, use, or
generation attributable to an individual unit of development for each category of “necessary
public services” or facility expansions.
3) Review Cost Estimates – TischlerBise will review the costs of infrastructure improvements, real
property, financing, engineering, and architectural services associated with the “necessary public
services” to be included in the IIP and development fees.
9
4) Financing Costs – TischlerBise will identify projected interest charges and other financial costs
which are to be used for repayment of principal and interest of debt used to finance construction
of “necessary public services” identified in the IIP.
5) Identify Ineligible Costs – TischlerBise will identify costs that are not eligible for inclusion in the
IIP and development fees. Ineligible costs include projects not included in the IIP; repair,
maintenance, or operation of existing facilities; projects which serve existing development in
order to meet stricter regulatory requirements; projects which provide a higher level-of-service
to existing development; and administrative, maintenance, and operating costs.
As part of calculating the fee, costs for infrastructure improvements, real property, financing, engineering,
and architectural services will be considered. TischlerBise will consider all of these components in
developing an equitable allocation of costs.
Meetings:
Two (2) meetings with City staff.
Deliverables:
See Task 5
TASK 5: DISCUSS PRELIMINARY METHODOLOGIES AND POLICY OPTIONS
The requirement that development fees be based on an IIP does not equate to a requirement that only the
plan-based methodology can be used in the calculations. The IIP can reflect the past capacity investments
in infrastructure that will be repaid by new development with development fee revenue. Likewise, the City
can plan to provide new development the same level-of-service being currently provided to existing
development.
TischlerBise will evaluate different allocation methodologies for each IIP and development fee component
to determine which methodology is the most appropriate measure of the demand created by new
development. These methodologies include:
Cost Recovery Methodology – This methodology is best suited for infrastructure which has already
been built and has excess capacity available to be utilized for new development.
Incremental Expansion Methodology – Under this approach, new development will receive the
current level-of-service being provided to existing development by the existing inventory of
infrastructure.
Plan-Based Methodology – This methodology primarily evaluates the CIP for new development’s
proportionate share of planned capital projects. It is important to note, however, that CIP’s are often
fiscally constrained and may not reflect the true requirements of new development. TischlerBise will
therefore also evaluate master plans for different categories of infrastructure.
This comprehensive approach and consideration of alternative methodologies will allow maximization of
the development fees. TischlerBise to prepare draft levels-of-service tables and methodology
recommendations for each infrastructure category and component. We will discuss this information with
City staff to ensure understanding and acceptance. Policy alternatives will be discussed as appropriate.
This should help ensure “sign-off” and prevent time delays in finalizing the analysis.
10
Meetings:
One (1) meeting with City staff and City Council (if desired) to discuss and explain the preliminary findings,
assumptions, and results.
Deliverables:
TischlerBise will prepare a “story board” for staff review and comment detailing proposed levels-of-service,
cost estimates, service areas, credits and recommended calculation methodologies.
TASK 6: PREPARE DRAFT AND FINAL LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENT PLAN (IIP)
In this task, TischlerBise’s qualified professionals will prepare an IIP using generally accepted engineering
and planning practices for each “necessary public service” for which a development fee can be assessed.
This IIP will meet requirements of A.R.S. §9-463.05. Development of the IIP will include the following
subtasks:
§
Reserve Capacity – The IIP will identify infrastructure capacity to be reserved to serve future
development.
§
Description of Existing Necessary Public Services in the Service Area(s) – The IIP will include
a description of the existing “necessary public services” in the service area(s) and the costs to
upgrade, update, improve, expand, correct, or replace those services to meet existing needs and
usage and stricter safety, efficiency, environmental, and regulatory standards.
§
Analysis of Total Capacity – The IIP will identify the current usage and commitments for usage
of capacity of the existing “necessary public services.”
§
Description of “Necessary Public Services” Attributable to New Development – The IIP will
describe all parts of the “necessary public services” of facility expansions and their costs
necessitated by and attributable to development in the service area(s) based on the approved land
use assumptions. Cost forecasts will include the costs of infrastructure improvements, real
property, financing, engineering, and architectural services.
§
Equivalency/Conversion Table – The IIP will include a table establishing the specific level or
quantity of use, consumption, or generation of a service unit for each category of “necessary public
services” or facility expansions. The table will include the ratio of a service unit to various types of
residential, commercial, and industrial land uses.
§
Projected Service Units – The IIP will include the total number of projected service units
necessitated by and attributable to new development in the service area(s), based on the approved
land use assumptions.
§
Projected Demand for Necessary Public Services – The IIP will include a ten-year projection of
the demand for “necessary public services” or facility expansions required by new service units.
§
Forecast of Non-Development Fee Revenues from New Service Units – The IIP will forecast
revenues other than development fees generated by new service units, such as state-shared
revenue, highway user revenue, federal revenue, ad valorem property taxes, construction
11
contracting or similar excise taxes, and the capital recovery portion of utility fees attributable to
development based on the approved land use assumptions. This subtask will include a plan to
include these contributions in determining the extent of the burden created by new development.
These subtasks will result in a written plan that identifies each “necessary public service” or facility
expansion that is to be the subject of a development fee and complies with the requirements of State law.
Meetings:
One (1) meeting to participate in a Council meeting, City Council Strategy Sessions, Committee Meetings
or Issue Review Sessions to present and discuss Land Use Assumptions, and Infrastructure Improvements
Plan as part of the legislatively required adoption process.
Deliverables:
Draft and Final Land Use Assumptions and Infrastructure Improvement Plan.
Work Scope – Development Fee Report
TASK 1: DETERMINE NEED FOR “CREDITS” TO BE APPLIED AGAINST CAPITAL COSTS
A consideration of “credits” is integral to the development of a legally valid development fee methodology.
There is considerable confusion among those who are not immersed in impact fee law about the definition
of a credit and why it may be required.
There are two types of “credits” that are included in the calculation of impact fees, each with specific, distinct
characteristics. The first is a credit due to possible double payment situations. This could occur when a
property owner will make future contributions toward the capital costs of a public facility covered by an
impact fee. The second is a credit toward the payment of an impact fee for the required dedication of public
sites and improvements provided by the developer and for which the development fee is imposed. Both
types of credits will be considered and addressed in the development fee study.
Deliverables:
Memoranda as appropriate. See Task 4.
TASK 2: CONDUCT FUNDING AND CASH FLOW ANALYSIS; ESTIMATE ANNUAL OPERATING
COSTS
In order to prepare a meaningful IIP, it is important to evaluate the anticipated funding sources. In this task,
TischlerBise will prepare a ten-year cash flow analysis. This calculation will allow the City to better
understand the revenue potential of the development fees and the amount which would be needed if the
fees were discounted. It will also provide a good understanding of the cash flow needed to cover the
infrastructure costs for new development. The cash flow analysis will indicate whether additional funds
might be needed or whether the IIP might need to be altered. This could also affect the total credits
calculated in the previous task. Therefore, it is likely that a number of iterations will be conducted in order
to refine the cash flow analysis reflecting the capital improvement needs. Development fee revenues can
only be spent on capital projects that add capacity. Operating and maintenance costs associated with these
capital improvements will have to be funded from other revenue sources, mostly likely from the General
12
Fund. To estimate the annual operational and maintenance costs of the projected infrastructure,
TischlerBise will utilize several data sources, including:
§
Most recently adopted operating budget.
§
Most recently adopted CIP.
§
Capital project/program submittal sheets from departments.
Meetings:
None.
Deliverables:
See Task 4.
TASK 3: COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT FEE METHODOLOGY AND CALCULATIONS
The completion of the previous task will enable the development fee methodology and calculations to be
finalized. TischlerBise will calculate the maximum justifiable fee for commercial, residential, and industrial
development that can be charged and conform to fee requirements.
Meetings:
None.
Deliverables:
Draft Development Fee Report.
TASK 4: PREPARE FINAL DEVELOPMENT FEE REPORT
TischlerBise will prepare a written report for the City that summarizes the need for development fees for
the “necessary public services” category and the relevant methodologies employed, as well as
documentation for all assumptions and cost factors. The report will include the following information:
§
Executive Summary.
§
A detailed description of the methodologies used during the study.
§
A detailed description of all level-of-service standards and cost factors used and accompanying
rationale.
§
An IIP spanning a maximum ten-year planning horizon, listing projects, costs, timing, and financing.
§
A detailed schedule of all proposed fees listed by land use type and activity.
§
Other information which adequately explains and justifies the resulting recommended fee schedule.
§
A ten-year cash flow analysis of development fees and estimate of operating costs.
Analysis of Peer Community Fee Structures. In this Task, TischlerBise will prepare a comparative
analysis of peer communities’ development fee structures. The analysis will compare how the proposed
impact fee structure for the City of Glendale compares to other peer communities, including noting any
differences in fee schedules and methodologies.
Meetings:
One (1) meeting to participate in a Council meeting, City Council Strategy Sessions, Committee Meetings
or Issue Review Sessions where City staff will present the report and its findings.
Deliverables:
Final Development Fee Report and presentation materials for meetings.
13
TASK 5: STAKEHOLDER/PUBLIC OUTREACH
In addition to the meetings with staff and City Council described in the Tasks above, TischlerBise will meet
with stakeholders a minimum of two (2) times during the study process (given our volume of Arizona
work, we are available for additional meetings at no charge since we are able to “piggyback” on
another trip). The purpose of this committee is to allow interested parties to understand assumptions and
raise any questions about the technical demographic, cost, revenue, credit, and other data and supporting
documentation that is being used in the development of the land use assumptions, IIP and the calculation
of development fees.
1. Meeting #1 - The first meeting will describe the study process and will allow the participants
to identify and communicate any potential issues which may affect them, discuss any
administrative or implementation issues with the administration of the current fee schedule.
In addition, TischlerBise will present the proposed land use assumptions, explain the
preliminary findings, assumptions, credits and revenue projections.
2. Meeting #2 - The second meeting will be a presentation and discussion of final
recommendations.
Meetings:
Two (2) meetings with Stakeholder Group.
Deliverables:
Presentation Materials as Appropriate.

Section 5: Project Timeline
Project Schedule
The table below indicates our proposed schedule for this assignment assuming a January 2024 start date.
This schedule assumes all draft work products needed to start the adoption process are completed by July
2024. Once the “clock starts ticking” in July it is likely that several iterations of the IIP and/or Development
Fee Report may be required to respond to stakeholder and elected official review. Given our familiarity with
the City, we feel the required documents can be prepared to begin the 225-day adoption process with the
advertising of the Land Use Assumptions and Infrastructure Improvement Plan in July 2024 and with the
advertising of the Development Fee Report in October 2024.

Project Management Approach
TischlerBise utilizes a project management process which ensures our projects are completed on time and
within budget, and, most importantly, they yield results that match our clients’ expectations. Our project
management plan employs the following principles to mitigate potential risk and result in successful
projects:
•
Risk: Lack of Understanding of Project Goals, Objectives, and Desired Outcomes
o
Mitigation: We begin by defining the project to be completed. Based on discussions that
occur as part of our Project Initiation task, Carson Bise, along with Ms. Herlands, will identify
the final project goals and objectives in collaboration with County staff, list potential challenges
to the process, and develop a plan to ensure successful outcomes and effective
communication.
•
Risk: Schedule Delays
o
Mitigation: We will plan the project schedule from the outset. As part of the Project
Initiation task, Mr. Bise will work with County staff to create an agreed-upon timetable to meet
the project schedule. Prior to beginning the project, Mr. Bise will assign roles that will ensure
that the project schedule is met on time and within budget.
•
Risk: Technical Complications
o
Mitigation: We will actively manage the project process. Mr. Bise and Ms. Herlands have
a long history of strong project management skills that are supported by past project
successes (we encourage you to contact our references in this regard). Mr. Bise will manage
the work in progress, provide guidance and oversight to staff, and be accountable to the
County meeting the schedule, budget, and technical requirements of the project.
•
Risk: Quality Control
o
Mitigation: We will review all project deliverables and communication through a formal
quality assurance process that requires review at the peer level, project manager level, and
executive officer level. Prior to the delivery of work product to the County, deliverables will go
through a structured quality assurance process involving up to three levels of review and
utilizing a checklist tool. The first level involves a peer-to-peer review of work products and
computer models. Next, Mr. Bise will be responsible for a second set of reviews comparing
the work product to the completed quality checklist form.
•
Risk: Cost Overruns
o
Mitigation: The studies will be conducted under a fixed fee arrangement. We typically do
not utilize change orders in our work efforts. The potential for a change in budget could occur
if the goals, objectives, and expectations as agreed upon in the scope and project
management processes shift significantly. The use of the above proactive project
management elements is structured to avoid budgetary issues.
