Assembly Bill #1600 provides guidelines, certain restrictions and a time line for the collection and expenditure of these funds . There were only two projects in 1994 that qualify for facility fee reimbursement . ,� District WO# Description 92-74503 Highway #267 Bridge 92-74517 Gateway Tank The new Highway #267 Bridge water line installation and re- connection of the existing under the river crossing was actually completed in the fall of 1993 . The $3,725 . 00 amount for reimbursement is the retention withheld from Perata which was not released until after January 1, 1994. This project enhanced the District ' s main water transmission system from the Airport Well up to the Northside Tank for distribution throughout the majority of the rest of the system. The Gateway Tank project continues to evolve at a snails pace. Though a substantial amount $76, 037 .45 has been spent this year, actual construction has not begun. $50, 000 of the total is presently sitting in an open escrow account at California Land Title Co. awaiting resolution of the complicated easements acquisition situation. The balance of expenses are for legal, engineering and surveying services. When completed the Gateway Tank will provide diurnal and fire ., storage for the Gateway area. The tank will also provide pass- through storage for the Tahoe Donner subdivision. Page 10 Facilities Fees Eligibility: In order for the cost of capital improvements to be eligible for reimbursement by Facilities Fees, it must be determined that there are reasonable relationships between the use of fees, the need for the facilities and the type of development . The first is to determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee ' s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. Water Facility Fees are used for water utility facility projects including construction, engineering and planning. All types of development on which the fees are imposed, residential, commercial, or other, need water. These fees are used for the facilities required to provide water service for development . The second is to determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is being imposed. All types of development for which fees are being imposed need water, and therefore the facilities are needed to provide water. conclusion: Based on the information presented in this report, the two projects under consideration are eligible for reimbursement with Facilities Fees . Based on the District ' s current zone of benefit policy regarding collection and expenditure of funds, the Highway #267 Bridge project should be reimbursed from fees collected in all zones . The Gateway Tank should be reimbursed from fees collected in Zones 1, 3, and 5 .
