[3:53] to speak about that is not being addressed in any portion of tonight's
[3:58] meeting, this is the time where you could come forward and address the
[4:01] commission. You'd have five minutes.
[4:09] Okay. Uh we'll move on to unfinished old
[4:13] business. Do we have any, John? >> There's none.
[4:17] » Okay. And we don't have any uh so moving on to
[4:23] public hearings. We don't have any uh we don't have a public hearing but uh I
[4:28] believe we have a staff report. >> Yes, there's the administrative staff
[4:32] report for the impact fee assessment.
[4:42] » Hi everyone. Page Hunt Planner One, the City of Post
[4:47] Falls, presenting the fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024 development impact
[4:54] fee report. This report shows the impact fees and
[5:00] our payments required by local governments of new developments for the
[5:04] purpose of providing new or expanded public capital facilities required to
[5:08] serve the community in new developments. These fees are used to shift the cost of
[5:14] financing public facilities from the general taxpayer.
[5:18] A development impact fee report is a requirement for every governmental
[5:22] entity in Idaho that collects impact fees. Development impact fees shall not
[5:28] be used for any purpose other than system improvement costs to create
[5:32] additional improvements to serve new growth. Impact fees are spent every at
[5:40] least every eight years from the date they were collected first in first out
[5:44] basis. A governmental entity may hold the fees for longer than eight years if
[5:50] it identifies a reasonable cause and an anticipated date.
[5:56] Uh the development impact fees for 2024 reflect beginning balances impact fees
[6:02] collected other revenues, expenditures, interest, funds total, and the roads,
[6:07] parks, and public safety projects that received impact fees during the fiscal
[6:12] year of 2024. In the fiscal year of 2024, approximately 5.2 million were
[6:18] collected in impact fees. And of those impact fees, 3.5 million were spent on
[6:25] roads, parks, and public safety projects to assist with mitigated growth in the
[6:30] community. Um, as you can see here, I have circled
[6:36] the impact fees, which go to about 5.2 million, expenditures running 3.5
[6:43] million, leaving us with an end total of 16 million.
[6:50] Um on here's the history. So as we can see from the fiscal year 2019 we had a
[6:56] beginning balance of 6.9 million and at the end of the fiscal year 2023
[7:03] we had a total of 13.6 million. Over the course of five years we have
[7:11] increased our balance while increasing our expenditures.
[7:16] Um for future goals, we will be spending more and our total balance will be
[7:22] decreasing with the projects that we have planned on the expenditures.
[7:29] Uh on here we can see for the fiscal year of 2024 all the projects for roads.
[7:36] The main one was pull line and Spokane roundabouts coming out to about 2.3
[7:43] million for parks. We had the
[7:52] the um land acquisition at 1.9 million. And
[7:58] then for public safety, this comes out to
[8:05] another land acquisition for about just under a million.
[8:12] And then this one is actually for the fiscal year of 2024.
[8:16] This one we have contracts and professional for 1 million total park
[8:22] projects. Black Bay Park coming out to 1.7 million. And then expenditures for
[8:30] public safety, we see that most of it is going to the police funding.
[8:39] And then on here is the same concept for the fiscal year 2024.
[8:46] And then this does not need any decision. It's just for your knowledge.
[8:50] Is there any questions?
[8:55] » Anybody have any questions on the presentation?
[8:58] » Just just a quick question. It looks like fiscal year 2024 we didn't really
[9:03] have any big land acquisition. That was more just in 2023. Yes, that was more in
[9:10] 2023. >> And because I wasn't involved at that
[9:14] point, what was the big land acquisition um both for the parks and then also for
[9:21] uh public safety? What were those two were those just two large purchases or
[9:25] was it a whole bunch of purchases or >> um
[9:29] » I actually don't know exactly for the parks and the funds. That's just how
[9:35] finance itemizes it in their callouts as land acquisition. I could punt though um
[9:42] because >> I was just wondering
[9:44] » um Bob Seal I don't know if he may know um because he goes to meetings that I
[9:50] don't go to. >> Okay.
[9:55] Looks like Bob's verifying with a representative from the police.
[10:03] » Bob Sea, community development director. Um I actually can't remember the parks
[10:07] project that would have been purchased that year. Um the PED was purchasing the
[10:12] land adjacent to the existing facility for the parking lot expansion.
[10:16] » Okay. >> I'm trying to remember what parks would
[10:19] have purchased that. >> Is that like the QM expansion? buying
[10:23] all that land or was that even >> that was I think that was before I think
[10:27] that was earlier um the the community forest yeah piece
[10:31] » um >> I think not that it matters didn't parks
[10:35] and public and public works join up >> they did they joined on bar they did
[10:40] they bought a piece on hard graves that was probably that year that you're
[10:43] looking at the timing >> lines up what's that
[10:45] » the timing works yeah so it's like 15 acres on hard grave I believe five acres
[10:50] went to park and parks and 10 acres went to public works Okay.
[10:53] » So, they kind of mix the >> the selection there.
[10:56] » Just asking. >> Yeah.
[10:57] » Thank you. >> Good question.
[11:03] » I'm trying to understand the bottom portion that's in the box. Is that a
[11:07] different way of presenting this? What's the 17 million for roads?
[11:10] » That is just a summary regarding the same concept. um impact fees that is
[11:21] going to be all of um the balances rather than just the
[11:27] fees for fiscal year 20.
[11:30] » Oh, those are balances. >> Yes.
[11:32] » Yes. It's just the same way to represent the same information, but that's like in
[11:35] summary of total. So, you're looking at the impact fees in total that's
[11:39] collected in and other revenues tied with expenditures, leaving you that 16.4
[11:45] 4 on the right versus when you look up above, you're just looking at the
[11:49] beginning balance of fiscal year 20 uh 20 24 and you see that moving from the
[11:56] left to the right getting to that same number that 16.4 million.
[12:05] » Any more questions?
[12:09] » Nope. >> Thank you.
[12:10] » No, thank you.
[12:18] And like that was stated, there's no really decision that's for this matter.
[12:22] Just as you guys acting as the impact fee committee as well as part of the
[12:28] planning and zoning commission, uh gives you a chance to review it before it goes
[12:32] to city council.
[12:36] » Okay. Are there any uh commissioner comments?
[12:40] » No.
[12:44] Nope. Okay. I move to adjourn.
[12:51] » Ajourned.
