FROM: John Dunn, City Administrative Officer ?t,�,--5►
SUBJECT: Appointment to City/County Participation Group
CAO RECOMMENDATION: Designate a member of the City Council, and
appoint the Assistant CAO, to serve on a City/County Participation
Group to advise the County in the preparation of a Comprehensive
Development Fee Study.
DISCUSSION:
I
Attached is a letter from the County Administrator, Robert Hendrix.
The County is asking that each city appoint one Council person and
one Administrative staff person to serve on an advisory committee
relative to a new development fee being considered by the County.
This new fee is particularly relevant to cities since the concept
is that it will be assessed not only in unincorporated areas, but
within the boundaries of cities as well. The idea is that cities
will collect this fee on behalf of the County.
This concept obviously has significant implications to the cities
of San Luis Obispo County. For example, although the fee would be
a County revenue source, the perception would likely be that it is
a city fee. This could make the implementation of pending city
development fees, as set forth in our Adopted Comprehensive
Financial Management Plan, more difficult. In addition, there
would be an administrative cost associated with such collections.
It would also be important to know what specific kinds of
improvements are to be funded with such a development fee. It is
anticipated that these and other questions will be thoroughly
evaluated by such a participation group, and therefore it is
recommended that the Council designate a representative to serve
with the Assistant CAO on this advisory group. ,
The Mayor and the Assistant CAO will raise this issue at the San
Luis Obispo County Mayors' meeting scheduled for Thursday,
September 27. Comments expressed by other cities at this meeting
will be shared with Council members during the City Council meeting
of October 2..

Dear Mr. Dunn:
The County of San Luis Obispo has retained the firm of Recht Hausrath
IlIAssociates to prepare a Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Study. The fee is
proposed to be collected both in the unincorporated and incorporated portions
of the county. A critical element of the program is to inform city officials,
members of the general public, and representatives of the business and
construction industry early in the process. In this regard, the Board of
Supervisors has approved the formation of a City/County Participation Group
that will review population and employment projections, review draft chapters
of the report, and discuss cities' concerns regarding county policy decisions,
particularly in areas of shared responsibilities such as municipal services in
� adopted spheres of influence..
On September 4, 1990, the Board appointed Supervisors Ovitt and Blakely as
county representatives to the City/County Participation Group. The group will
also consist of one council person and one administrative staff person to be
appointed from each of the county's seven cities. In addition, The County
Director of Planning and Building, a representative of the County
Administrative Office, and the consultants will be members.
The initial meeting of the City/County Participation Group is planned for late
September or early October. The group would then meet as needed approximately
once every month.
Based on the above, I request that each city appoint a city council person and
an administrative staff person to serve on the City/County Participation Group
to advise the county in the preparation of a Comprehensive Development Impact
Fee Study. If you have any questions concerning the study or the fee program
in general , please contact me or Paul Hood of my staff. I would appreciate
receiving the names of each city's designees as soon as possible. Thank you.
Sincerely,
ROBERT E. HENDRIX ?00
