REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GRANT M. YATES, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 28, 2015
SUBJECT: WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY MSHCP LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
MITIGATION FEE ANNUAL CPI ADJUSTMENT
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the rate adjustment notification from
Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority as a result of their action taken
on March 2, 2015.
Background
The MSHCP calls for an annual CPI adjustment to local development mitigation fees
collected to fund the implementation of the Plan. Fee ordinances adopted by the County
and Cities reflect this requirement. Each year, the RCA staff informs the County and Cities
of the CPI adjustment and whether or not the Board approved the adjustment.
Based on the CPI increase from December 2013 to December 2014, MSHCP fees would
increase 0.726% effective July 1, 2015. The attached spreadsheet shows the current fees
and the fees effective July 1, 2015 if the RCA Board approves implementing the increase.
The RCA Board elected not to adjust the fees for the last six fiscal years. The cumulative
CPI increases not implemented amount to 8.54% from Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year
2015. The current rates were implemented effective July 1, 2008, for Fiscal Year 2009. If
approved, staff estimates the rate increase would generate approximately $71,000 in
additional development mitigation fees to the RCA for the Fiscal Year 2016. The estimate is
based on $9.8 million in potential development mitigation fees for the year.
RCA Staff discussed the proposed fee increase with Bill Blankenship, Executive Officer of
the Building Industry Association Riverside County Chapter. While the Building Industry
Association does not welcome any fee increases, they did not oppose this increase.

RE: RCA BOARD ACTION TO APPROVE IMPLEMENTING THE WESTERN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY MSHCP LOCAL DEVELOPMENT MITIGATION
FEE CPI ADJUSTMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 -16
Dear Mr, Yates:
The MSHCP calls for an annual CPI adjustment to local development mitigation
fees collected to fund the implementation of the Plan. Fee ordinances adopted
by the County and Cities reflect this requirement. Based on the CPI increase
from December 2013 to December 2014, MSHCP fees will increase 0.726%
effective July 1, 2015.
On March 2, 2015, the RCA Board of Directors took action to approve
implementing the CPI adjustment for Fiscal Year 2015 -16 and directed RCA
staff to inform the County and Cities of this action.
RCA recommends that member agencies adopt the new fees for the Fiscal
Year 2015 -16 rates as outlined in the attached.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to call
me at (951) 955 -9700.
Sincerely,
Honey Bernas
Director of Administrative Services
