Beeler, Chair ATTEST: Paul McIntosh, Chief Administrative Officer and Clerk of the Board By:- - , ~' ~,, , , BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MaY ~ ~: zaa4 May 25, 2004 Butte County Board of Supervisors 25 County Center Drive Orovillc, CA 95965 Gentlemen and Ladies: The purpose of this letter is to request that the Board of Supervisors increase the park facility fee, as allowed in Section 16-46 of County Ordinance 3081. To that end, please co~lsider the following information, to familiarize you with the Durham Recreation and Park District, it's current situation and it's future goals. The Durham Recreation and Parl< District began with the establishment of the Durham Community Park. This park has served as a social gathering place since the inception of the community. The twenty-four acre park was specifically set aside when land allocations were established for the area in 1918. The District gained responsibility for the park in 1947. The district has grown significantly in the last len years to a population of 5,063 persons according to the current census. The purpose of the park facility fee is to collect fiords for the acquisition and development of new parklands within the Durham Recreation and Park District. The park facility fee is imposed on new residential development within the district. The Curds are to be expended on capital improvements necessary to meet the recreational needs of new residents. The fee is imposed on each square foot of assessable space in new residential development within the district. The fee is applicable to residential development of 500 square feet or greater, excluding any carport, walkway, garage, overhang, patio, enclosed patio, detached accessory structure, or similar area. The actual square footage is calculated by the Building Division of the Development Services Department of the cowity. The current fee of ~ 1.07 per square foot is no longer adequate. This fee was based on the projected recreational needs of new residents over afive-year period, beginning in 1993. The district has chosen not to request an increase in the fee for the last ten years. Exhibit A May 25, 2004 Butte County Board of Supervisors Page 2 The District's Master Plan calls for a Neighborhood Park in the area near Butte College. Current land values have increased significantly in this area. In 1993, land value for the Clark Road area was $10,000.00 per acre. Today's figure from the Butte County Assessor's office is $20,000.00 per acre. Current cost per acre for development of a Neighborhood Park ranges from $130,381.00 to $164,550.00 (please see attached Nexus studies for CARD and Feather River Recreation and Park District). An average of these two figures is $147,465.00. A Neighborhood Park ranges from two to four acres. Thus, for afoot-acre park, costs would be $80,000.00 for acquisition and $589,860.00 for development, for a total cost of $669,860.00. At the c~u-rent estimated $60,000.00 of park facility fees collected per year, it would take eleven years to accumulate the necessary funds. County ordinance 3081, adopted July 27, 1993, states that the Board of Supervisors may increase these fees on July 1 ~` of any year based on information substantiating that there has been an increase in the cost of acquiring and/or developing park facilities within the district, using the net percentage increase in the Engineering News Record, cost index for San Francisco (based on 1913 U.S. average = 100). Using the "building cost index history," the factor that would have been used in July of 1993 was 3038. The factor for April of 2004 is 3908. If you divide 3038 into 3908 the resulting factor is 1.286. Multiplying the 1.286 factor by the current $1.07 per sq. ft. would result in a new figure of $1.38 per sq. ft. Of co~u-se, the Board may deem it appropriate to utilize the June 2004 figure when it is published in lieu of the April 2004 factor. After reviewing this information, we respectfully trust that the Board will agree that an increase in the park facility fee is indeed justified. Sincerely yours, ~,~~ .lames F.
