OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS REGARDING

The Town Council of the Town of Tiburon does hereby resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, for the past several years, the Town of Tiburon has assessed street
impact fees in conjunction with building permits in order to partially offset the cost of roadway
damage caused by construction activity; and
WHEREAS, the Town began collection of its street impact fee in FY 1999-2000,
pursuant to Town Council Resolution No. 3330, effective July 5, 1999; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon has collected street impact fees since adoption
of Resolution 3330 in 1999, and as subsequently amended by adoption of Resolution 15-2005 on
April 16, 2005. Pursuant to the California Government Code, the Town Council is required to
make certain findings relative to unexpended funds collected for such purposes after the fifth
fiscal year in which the initial deposit is made and every five years thereafter; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council most recently made such findings at its meeting

WHEREAS, the Town has prepared the required documentation regarding the
unexpended fees and such documentation has been available for public review for at least fifteen
(15) days; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council received the required documentation in the form
of a Staff Report prior to its meeting of January 21, 2015 and held a public meeting on the matter
on January 21, 2015.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of
Tiburon does hereby make the following findings relative to its unexpended street impact fees.
Purpose of the Fees. The Town Council finds that the purpose of the street
impact fees is to partially offset the costs of maintenance and repair of Town -
maintained roadways resulting from damage caused by construction activity.
2. Reasonable Relationship between the Fees and the Purpose for which they
are Charged. The Town Council finds that street impact fees are based on the
pro rata share of street damage caused by construction activity. The Town
Tiburon Town Council Resolution No. 03-2015 0112112015
Council further finds that the justification and the mechanism for calculating fees
are adequately set forth in the following documents: Staff Report dated May 5,
1999; Town Engineer Analysis dated April 22, 1999; Study prepared by Hilton
Farnkopf & Hobson, LLC dated October 4, 2004, all of which are available for
public review at Tiburon Town Hall.
3. Sources and Amounts of Funding Anticipated to Complete Financing of
Improvements.
The Town Council finds as follows:
a. The Town of Tiburon uses its Pavement Management Program to help
prioritize street repair and/or reconstruction needs. The current Pavement
Management Plan, dated March 29, 2013, is available for review at Town
Hall. The Town of Tiburon maintains approximately 33.1 centerline miles
of pavement, covering 64.62 lane miles, divided between arterials,
collectors and local streets. The Town's Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
is currently about 75 on a 100 -point scale, with 0 being a failed street and
100 being a new street. A PCI of 65 is considered the middle range of
"Good" condition, while a PCI below 50 is considered "Poor" condition
and a PCI of 70 is the low end of "Very Good" condition. The PMP
identified a current "backlog" of pavement maintenance/rehabilitation at
$5.8 million. The Town's current annual budget goal for street
maintenance and repair (from all sources) is approximately $925,000, of
which approximately $665,000 is from the street impact fund. The Town
Council finds that the ongoing collection and expenditure of street impact
fees will help to slow the deterioration of the public street system, increase
the overall PCI. The current balance of $1,595,148 unexpended in the
account as of 7/1/2014 reflects a decrease from the prior fiscal year ending
balance of over $1.85 million.
b. Street repair and maintenance resulting from construction -related damage
is an ongoing process. As long as new construction, remodeling, and other
construction -related activity occurs in the Town, street damage will result.
For FY 2014-2015, a total of $665,000 is budgeted from the street impact
fund for street maintenance and/or rehabilitation.
C. The Town is aware that additional sources of funding, including but not
limited to, funds from the State and Federal governments, County of
Marin Congestion Management Agency, and Metropolitan Transportation
Commission, will be required to supplement the Town's street impact fees
in order to maintain the Town's streets in a serviceable condition.
Tiburon Town Council Resolution No. 03-2015 0112112015 2
4. Approximate Dates When Necessary Funding is Anticipated to be Deposited.
The Town Council finds that street repair and maintenance resulting from
construction -related damage is an ongoing process. As long as new construction,
remodeling, and other construction -related activity occurs in the Town, street
damage will result. Typically, street impact fees are expended within 2-3 years of
collection and are never retained for a period exceeding five years.
