WHEREAS, on August 4, 1998. the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County
adopted Ordinance No. 98-69, the Collier County Regional Water and/or Sewer Systems Impact
Fee Ordinance, thereby establishing the County's then applicable water and sewer impact fee
rates, and, as such, those rates have been in effect for more than three (3) years; and
WHEREAS, on March 13, 2001, the Board of County Commissioners adopted
Ordinance No. 2001-13, the Collier County Consolidated Impact Fee Ordinance, repealing and
superceding all of the County's then existing impact fee regulations, and consolidating all nf the
County's impact fee regulations into a single Ordinance, codified in Chapter 74 of the Collier
County Code of Law and Ordinances (the Code), and incorporating the aforementioned water and
sewer impact fee rates established by the adoption of Ordinance No. 98-69; and
WHEREAS, Section 74-502 of the Code states that impact fee studies should be
reviewed at least every three (3) years, thus, the County has retained Public Resources
Management Group, Inc. (the Consultant) to review the existing water and sewer fees and
recommend changes to the fees where appropriate; and
WHEREAS, Collier County uses impact fees to supplement the funding of necessary
capital improvements required to provide public facilities to serve new population and related
development; and
WHEREAS, it has been discovered that the currently applicable water and sewer impact
fees are based upon under-projected population figures, resulting in an undersized capital
improvement master plan, and the County's exceptional growth in the past three (3) years, in
conjunction with the expansion of the Collier County Water-Sewer District service area as
contemplated in the Rural Fringe Area Assessment Conceptual Strategies, indicates that the Board
should undertake assertive, proactive measures to match water and sewer capacity with future
needs; and
WHEREAS, the County's Consultant has recommended that the County increase water
plant capacity by 32 million gallons per day and wastewater treatment capacity by 34.8 million
gallons per day over the next nine (9) years, at an estimated cost to future utility system users of
$639 million; and
WHEREAS, the County's Consultant recommends a water impact fee rate increase from
$1,275 per equivalent residential connection (ERC) to $2,740 per ERC, an increase of $1,465 or
8e
114.9 percent; and a sewer impact fee rate increase from $1,575 per ERC to $2,840 per ERC, an
increase of $1,265 or 80.3 percent; and
WHEREAS, the County's Consultant also recommends increasing the non-residential
water and sewer impact fee rates as specified in the attached revised Schedule Two of Appendix
A; and
WHEREAS, the above recommended rate increases reflect the establishment of water
and sewer impact fees at the maximum level allowed in accordance with equity tests established
by previous case law in the State of Florida; and
WHEREAS, staff has thoroughly reviewed the Consultant's findings and
recommendations and concurs with the recommended water and sewer impact fee rate increases;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
The Board of County Commissioners hereby declares that the water and sewer impact fee
rates set forth in the revised Schedule Twn of Appendix A of Ordinance No. 200 1-13, as amended,

and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit "A" are fair and reasonable sums to be assessed to
those who receive the benefits of new and expanded water and sewer public facilities necessitated
by increased population and related development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the revised water and sewer impact fee schedule will
take effect on January I, 2002, except these new rates will not be imposed only to new fully

permit issued on or before Friday, March 1,2002, and the residence is sold to the first purchaser
