RE: Updated Indices
Dear Ms. Patterson:
Per direction provided by the Productivity Committee and County staff on February 18,2009 and during
subsequent discussions, TOA calculated indices for the six fee areas by using the average cost changes over
a two-year period instead of using a regression analysis. The six program areas for which indices were
calculated are listed in the table on the next two pages.
A two-year average as opposed to a three-year average is used to calculate indices because a two-year
average is found to be more response to cost fluctuations. It should be noted that the County has a 15
percent cap in place during cost increases. [f any of the indices is above 15 percent, it is required thatthe
County verifies this increase. It is recommended that such a cap should be implemented for cost decreases
as well. In other words, ifany of the calculated indices is less than -IS percent, this cost decrease should be
verified based on County building/infrastructure construction costs and land and equipment purchase prices.
Calculation of two-year averages includes the following steps;
. For building component, consistent with the adopted indexing methodology, the average of three
indices is used. These indices are Engineering News Record's Building Cost Index, Turner Building
Cost Index, and RS Means Index.
. For equipment/vehicle component, the average of Producer Price Index for Public Furniture and
Consumer Price Index is used.
. Indices used both for buildings and equipment/vehicles are adjusted for local cost using updated
multipliers (based on 2000 Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) and 2007 American Community
Survey). These multipliers are only applied to the aggregate change from one year to another, and

have minimal impact on the overall index.
. Land index is based on the change in market value of all property in Collier County based on figures
published by the Collier County Property Appraiser.
. Two sets of indices are calculated. One set reflects 2008 indices and are based on 2006 and 2007
data, which is the comparable time period used to calculate previous indices that were calculated
using the regression model. When the previous calculations for 2008 indices were prepared for the
fee adjustment, costs were being updated from 2007 to 2008 levels based on historical data through
2007.
The second set of indices are 2009 indices and calculated based on the average of 2007 and 2008
data, which is more current, and better reflects the recent decrease in land values.
The following table presents these calculations.

Building Valuation Data
Square Foot Construction Costs tabIe does not reflect accurate
values for that purpose. However, the Square Foot Construc-
tion Costs table can be used to determine too cost of an addi-
tion that Is basically a stand-alone building which happens to
be attached to an existing building. In the case of such addi-
tions, the only alterations to the existing building would Involve
the attachment of the addition to the existing building and the
openings between the addition and the existing building.
. For purposes of establishing the Pennll Fee Mulllpller, the es-
timated total annual construction value for a given time period
(1 year) is the sum of each building's value (Gross Area x
Square Foot Construction Cost) for that time period (e.g., 1
year).
. The Square Foot Construction Cost does not include the price
of the land on which the building Is buill. The Square Foot Con-
struction Cost takes Into acoount everything from site and foun-
dation work to the roof structure and coverings but does not
Include the price of the land. The cost of the land does not
affect the cost of related node enforcement activities and Is not
Included in the Square Foot Construction Cost.

Collier County
Indexing Methodology Study
Executive Summary
Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Inc. (TOA) was retained by Collier County to prepare a
review of the adopted indexing methodology. The current adopted localized indexing
methodology uses trend data and regression analysis, which moderate the changes in the
index, and the effect of the index on the final impact fee schedules. When costs are
increasing, the indexing methodology does not allow the index to increase as rapidly as
actual cost changes occur. Similarly, when costs are decreasing, the index lags the actual
reductions in costs. Given the current decrease in costs, Collier County is interested in a
study that would review thc current process and explore potential changes to the current
methodology.
This Executive Summary provides a summary ofthe three primary findings:
I. The current adopted methodology adjusts national, regional or statewide figures
to local figures using wage rates to reflect local costs. The analysis found that
although this adjustment is useful in capturing some of the difference between
local and non-local costs, it does not have a significant impact on the final indices.
As such, it is recommended that the County continue to adjust national, regional,
and statewide figures to local costs.
2. The current adopted methodology uses regression analysis. Regression analysis
tends to work well in smoothing changes over time when there are no significant
fluctuations in the underlying data. The indices for seven ofCol1ier County's ten
impact fee program areas arc based on relatively stable national or regional data.
However, indices for the other program areas (transportation, regional parks, and
community parks) are based on the change in land values and transportation
construction costs, which fluctuated significantly over the past several years.
When costs fluctuate heavily, the regression analysis reacts with a lag.
3. Given the above described findings, it is recommended that the County use two-
year average data of locally adjusted indices for all program areas. This approach
will result in indices that arc much more reactive to the changes in cost.

Collier County
Indexing Methodology Study
Introduction
Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Inc. (TOA) was retained by Collier County to prepare a
review of the adopted indexing methodology. In the early 2000s, Collier Connty started
to index its impact fees. Historically, the County used national indices for most of the
variables. However, over the past few years, there were concerns that national indices
failed to represent the significant cost increases experienced in Collier County. As a
result, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) requested a localized
indexing study to better measure the increase in local infrastructure costs. TOA
completed the localized indexing study in 2007, which was then adopted by the BOCC,
and the initial set of new indices became effective in January of2008.
Since then, costs have started to stabilize, and in some cases, to decrease. The localized
indexing methodology uses trend data and regression analysis, which moderate the
changes in the index. When costs are increasing, the indexing methodology does not
allow the index to increase as rapidly as actual cost changes may occur. Similarly, when
costs are decreasing, the index lags the actnal reductions in costs. Given this, Collier
County is interested in a study that would review the current process and explore
potential changes to the current methodology.
This summary report is organized in the following manner:
. Evalnation of Current Index Composition
. Indexing Methodology Evaluation
. Summary and Conclusions
In addition, Appendix A presents a summary of indexing methods used by other
jurisdictions.
Evaluation of Current Index Composition
The adopted indexing methodology relies on several indices. Some of these indices
reflect national data that were adjusted to local cost levels through the use of labor wage
rate comparison. Table I provides a summary of each index and its scope. As presented,
three of the indices (Engineering News Record (ENR), Producer Price Index (PPI), and
Turner Building Cost) provide national level data while Consumer Price Index (CPI) and
RS Means provide regional data (such as the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, or the City of
Miami, etc.), and the Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) provides state data.
Finally, land valnes are provided at the local level.

Table I also presents the distribution oflocal, state, regional, and national data for the
indices calculated for each impact fee program area. Based on the distribution of the
inventory among land, buildings, equipment, and transportation costs, each impact fee is
influenced differently by national, state, regional, or local data. As shown, the parks
impact fee indices are affected mostly by local indices (land values); the fire rescue index
is affected solely by regional data while the correctional facilities index is determined
solely by national data; the transportation indcx is heavily determined by statewide data,
while libraries, government buildings, and school impact fee indices are affected
primarily by national data. 111e EMS impact fee index is influenced eqnally by all levels
of data, and the law enforcement index is influenced mostly by national and regional
data.
This relation, in tnrn, determines the potential level of fluctuations. Historically, national
and regional data have been more stable than state or local data. As such, indices that
rely more heavily on national data do not fluctuate as much. Conversely, those that rely
heavily on state and/or local data tend to fluctuate more.
As mentioned previously, under the adopted methodology, national, regional and state
indices are adjusted to local area cost levels. The next section of this report provides
more detailed information on this adjustment process.

Collier County
Indexing Methodology Study
Indexing Methodology Evaluation
As mentioned previously, historically, Collier County calculated its indices based on
straight averages and unadjusted national, regional and state fignres. The adopted
methodology revised the original approach by adding two components:
. Adjustment of national, regional, and statewide figures to local costs; and
. Utilization ofregression analysis to smooth the fluctuations.
In addition, multiple indices were used for each component of the inventory (buildings,
equipment, transportation, etc.), with the exception ofland. This section reviews the
impact of these revisions on the responsiveness of indices to annual fluctuations in cost.
Adiustment to Local Costs
The adopted indexing method adjusts national, regional and statewide figures to local
costs through a comparison of change in labor rates in a given geographic area (state,
nation, etc.) to South Florida (Collicr and Palm Beach Counties). Table 2 provides a
comparison of unadjusted and adjusted indices. In addition, as mentioned previously,
under the adopted methodology multiple indices are used for various components of the
inventory (buildings, equipment, etc.).
For the five-year period shown in Table 2, the original methodology that relied on
unadjusted national variables results consistently in a lower index, with the exception of
transportation. The transportation index decreased when adjusted becanse the addition of
the Producer Price Index (PPI) for Highway and Street Construction moderated the
impact of statewide cost increases.

The adjusted indices tend to capture the higher cost increases experienced in Collier
County and, in general, provide somewhat higher indices.
At the time of the study, the wage comparison was based on 2000 Pnblic Use Microdata
Sample (PUMS) and 2005 American Community Survey (ACS) information. PUMS is a
component of the Census data and is only npdated every 10 years. As such, an updated
version is not yet available. However, since the completion of the study, the 2007 ACS
has been published. Table 3 provides a comparison of multipliers incInded in the original
indexing study and updated figures using 2007 ACS data. As presented, while the
multipliers for construction costs continued to increase, the multiplier for the trucking
industry decreased. It should be noted that the recent decrease in the labor component of
construction costs is not yet reflected in the 2007 ACS figures.

These multipliers apply only to the change in indices from one year to another, which
results in a moderate impact on the final indices.
Figure I presents the change in actual library construction costs experienced in Collier
County as well as estimated costs using unadjusted and adjusted national indices for the
local cost differential. Prior to 2002, when costs were relatively stable, unadjusted
national indices were accurate in reflecting changes in cost. However, with significant
cost increases experienced over the past few years, the original method failed to predict

actual costs experienced in Collier Connty. As presented, the adjustment for local costs
still does not captnre the full cost change; however, it does bring the indices somewhat
closer to actnal cost increases.

Source: Collier County Impact Fee Studies (1999,2002, and 2006) are used for actual cost
figures. Cost adjustment with unadjusted indices are based on indices calculated using the
historical method without adjusting for local cost. Cost increase with adjusted indices is
calculated by applying the national indices to local cost and adding more indices for each
variable. These figures reflect IO-year averages of applicable data and do not use the regression
analysis.
Figure 2 provides a similar example for transportation costs. The difference between
national cost indices and Florida Long Range Estimates (LRE) figures for transportation
infrastructure costs are presented in this chart. This difference further shows the need to
adjust the non-local indices to obtain local area costs.

In conclnsion, the adjustment of national, regional, and statewide costs to local costs has
a minimal impact on the overall index; however, this approach does result in figures more
reflective oflocal costs. As such, it is recommended that Collier County continue to use
this adjustment for fnture indices.

The second adjustment made to the original method was the utilization of regression
analysis of two- or three-year rolling averages to smooth the fluctuations in cost over
time. As part of this current indexing methodology review, TOA conducted a sensitivity
analysis of the regression analysis. This analysis showed that when costs are relatively
stable, the utilization of regression analysis is beneficial in smoothing changes from one
year to another. However, when there are large flnctuations in cost, the regression
method responds with a significant lag both when cost are increasing and decreasing.
The remainder of this section provides a summary ofthe results of this analysis.

Historically, national and regional indices used for building and equipment/vehicle
components of the inventory have been relatively stable. These indices include ENR
Building Cost Index, Turner Building Cost Index, and RS Means Index for building cost;
and CPI and PPI for Public Furniture for equipment and vehicle cost. Fignres 3 and 4
present trends in these indices along with a regression line that combines the impact of
applicable indices for building cost and equipment/vehicle costs.

As shown, utilization of regression analysis for these relatively stable indices tends to
smooth the changes in cost from one year to another and does not have a significant
impact on the index. Conversely, when there are significant flnctnations in the data, the
regression analysis tends to create a significant lag, and not react as quickly as may be
desired.

Figure 5 presents trends in LREs published by FDOT and PPI for Highway and Street
Construction. The figure plots the actual data, a two-year average of actual data,
regression excluding PPI, and a blended regression. As shown, the plot of actual LRE
figures results in a trend line that is highly sensitive to fluctuations in costs. The two-
year average of LRE figures tracks the actual changes with a minimal lag. However, the
regression analysis that nses only the LRE data reacts to the changes in cost with a
significant lag. This lag is somewhat moderated by blending LRE data with PPI data;
however, there is still a considerable lag compared to the utilization of a two-year
average.

over the past few years. Figure 8 presents the actual annual changes, 2- and 3-year
averages, and the regression results for land values over the past eight years. As

In summary, regression analysis tends to smooth fluctuations over time, which causes it
to lag in responding large fluctnations. For the majority of the Collier County impact
fees, the utilization of regression analysis does not have a significant impact. These are
the impact fees that utilize relatively stable national or regional data in the calculation of
their indices, and include the following:
. Libraries
. Fire Rescue
Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Inc.
March 2009

Collier County
Indexing Methodology Study
. EMS
. Government Buildings
. Schools
. Law Enforcement
. Correctional Facilities
In contrast, indices for parks and transportation impact fees rely heavily on statewide and
local data, which tend to fluctuate significantly. In these cases, the regression analysis
responds with a lag.
Summary and Conclusions
A review of the adopted indexing model resn1ted in the following conclusions and
recommendations:
. There has been a definite difference between national cost increases and cost
increases experienced in Collier County. As such, it is important to incorporate a
local adjustment factor in indexing calculations.
. The use of regression method tends to smooth out the differences from one year to
another, and seems to work well during relatively stable periods. However, it
does not respond quickly to large increases or decreases in costs.
. Some of the policy options the County should evaluate include the following:
I. The County may decide to use the regression method during periods when
costs are increasing and use averages when costs are decreasing. This option
would resnlt in revenue loss for thc Connty since the regression model slows
down the increase in indices, whilc using averages responds more quickly to
cost decreases.
2. The County may decide to use two- or three-year rolling averages, which
somewhat smoothes out the impact, but is much more reactive to large
fluctuations. If this is the case, it is recommended that the County continues
to adjust the national, regional, and state indices for local cost.
3. Seemingly, the best option is to start using a two-year average method and not
use the regression analysis as a means to stabilize costs from one year to

another until the variation in costs over the last few years dissipates. It is also
recommended that the Connty uses this approach not only during the periods
when costs are decreasing, but also when costs are increasing.
4. Cnrrent1y, the County caps the increase in individual indices at 15 percent
unless additional analysis is conductcd to verify the actual increase. It is
recommended that the same 15 percent cap should be used when costs are
decreasing (i.e., if the changes is greater than -15 percent, the decrease should
be capped at 15 percent).

Methods Used by Other Jurisdictions
As part of the methodology analysis, TOA contacted all Florida connties to understand
whether they index their impact fees and, if so, which methods they use. The following
bullets summarize the results of this survey.
. Of the 67 Florida counties, 50 have implemented impact fees in at least one
service area.
. Currently, of the 50 counties, 6 have placed a moratorinm on impact fee
collections due to current economic conditions.
. Of the 50 connties, 20 counties index their impact fees in at least one program
area. It is our understanding that none of these counties use a regression model or
adjust the national indices for local cost.
. The majority of the counties base their index on the following indices without
adjusting for local cost:
o ENR Construction Cost Index;
o FDOT Cost Trends;
o Consumer Price Index;
o Land values
o Florida Department of Education Student Stations Cost Factor Report
A list of counties with impact fees is included in Table A-I. The list also indicates
whether they index their fees and whether they have implemented a moratorium on
impact fees.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt a Resolution amending the Collier County Administrative Code
Fee Schedule of development-related review and processing fees as provided for in The
Code of Laws and Ordinances, Section 2-11
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve a resolution
amending the Collier County Administrative Code Fee Schedule of development-related review
and processing fees as provided for in The Code of Laws and Ordinances, Section 2-11.
CONSIDERATION: The vast majority of operations within the Collier County Community
Development and Environmental Services ~ivision (CDES) are fnnded by fees in the core
service areas of building permits, building inspections, site plan reviews, and subdivision
reviews. This proposal to amend the fee schedule does nol raise the level of any existing
building or land use related fee, but in those areas instead encompasses a variety of fee
clarifications, fees for activities newly enacted in the LOC or Florida Statute, optional fees for
expedited service, and creates lower fees for narrower sections of existing fee covered activities
that require less work
Included with this Executive Summary are: Attachment "A"- the Resolntion, Attachment "B"-
the revised COES Fee Schedule, Attachment "C"- COES Fee Schednle Strike-Through and
Underlines, Attachment "0"- Specific Fee Language Side by Side. Also included as a separate
attachment to the fee schedule is the February 2007 Construction Valuation Table referenced by
the Fee Schednle.
The following overview of the fee changes will use the numbering on Attachment "0", the fee
side by side, which follows the actual order of changes on the fnll fee schedule attachments.
Changes number I (sec A.2) and number 2 (sec C.8.c) are deletions of fees that are redundant or
no longer applicable. Change number 3 (see FA.b) creates a fee for new LOC section 5.05.12,
which is related to utility system facilities. Change numbers 4,5, and 6 (sec F.14, F.15, F.16)
creates fees for new LOC sections 10.02.04 BA, 10.02.03 BA.b.i, and 9.03.07. Fee Schedule
change number 7 (sec H.I) clarifies existing language. Change number 8 (sec K.8) creates a re-
submittal fee consistent with other sections and a minor fee for Statute allowed extensions,
versus a full submittal fee. Change number 9 (sec K.15) creates a consistent re-submittal fee.
Change 10 (sec K.21) creates a notification fee consistent with other sections of the fee schedule,
and is reflective of actual production and mailing costs.
Fee Schedule change number II (sec K.30) is language revision for clarification. Change 12
(sec K.33.a) creates a fee for new LOC section 2.03.07 N.5. Change 13 (sec K.34) is a language
revision for clarification. Fee Schedule change number 14 (LA) increases the fee for lien
searches and related activities from $5 to $25, reflective of the actual costs incurred in this Fund
I I I activity. Change 15 (see L.12) is a language revision for clarification. Change 16 (sec L.16
and L. 18) is a removal of redundant fee sections. Fee schedule change number 17 (sec L.25)
creates a small fee for Statute allowed time extensions. Change 18 (sec V.I) removes subsection
I of Screen Enclosnre fees, which is redundant with subsection 2. Change number 19 (see TT)
allows for the recovery of actual costs for this Fund III function. Change 20 creates an optional
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy fee to cover the costs of research and processing of this
expedited process.
These proposed fee changes were reviewed by the Development Services Advisory Committee
(DSAC) at their April I, 2009 meeting. By a vote of xx-xx, DSAC recommended that these fees

FISCAL IMPACT: This Executive Summary does not require, nor request, any increase in the
current allocation of CDES operating or personnel expenses already approved by the BCe.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no growth management impacts.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This request has been reviewed by the Collier County
Attorney's Office, and is legally sufficient for the Board of County Commissioners consideration
and approval.
RECOMMENDATION: To have the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve a
resolution amending the Collier County Administrative Code Fee Schedule of development-
related review and processing fees as provided for in The Code of Laws and Ordinances, Section
2-11.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners consider the recommendation
by the Collier Connty Productivity Committee to utilize a two-year average to calculate the
annual impact fee indexing, the reqnirements for which are set forth in Article III, Special
Requirement" for Specific Types of Impact Fee.I', of Chapter 74 of the Collier County Code
of Laws and Ordinances such that this calculation method will update the adopted
methodology in the approved "Collier County Impact Fee Indexing Study" in order to
provide an approach for indexing that is more responsive to cost fluctuations; also based
on the review, that the Board of County Commissioners provide direction to the County
Attorney and the County Manager, or his designee, on proceeding with the preparation of
the required ordinance amendment to implement the change to the indexing methodology
and corresponding rate schedules, for Government Buildings, Law Enforcement,
Dependent Fire, Emergency Medical Services and Educational Facilities Impact Fees, for
consideration at a fnture regnlar meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, as an
advertised public hearing
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) consider the recommendation
by the Collier County Productivity Committee to utilize a two-year average to calcnlate the
annual impact fee indexing, the requirements for which are set forth in Article III, Special
Requirements for Specific Types oj1mpact Fees, of Chapter 74 of the Collier County Code of
Laws and Ordinances (Code) such that this calcnlation method will update the adopted
methodology in the approved "Collier County Impact Fee Indexing Study" in order to provide an
approach for indexing that is more responsive to cost fluctuations; also based on the review, that
the Board of County Commissioners provide direction to the County Attorney and the County
Manager, or his designee, on proceeding with the preparation of the required ordinance
amendment to implement the change to thc indexing methodology and corresponding rate
schedules, for Government Buildings, Law Enforcement, Dependent Fire, Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) and Educational Facilities (School) Impact Fees, for consideration at a future
regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners as an advertised public hearing.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County has used impact fees as a funding source for growth-
related capital improvements for various facilities since 1978 (Water and Sewer). The most
recently adopted impact fee is the Law Enforcement Impact Fee which was adopted by the Board
in 2005. In October of 2002, the Board directed that during the upcoming required three-year
updates of the individual impact fees that methodology also be developed to provide for the
annual indexing of the fees in the years between the formal updates.
Impact Fees generate funds to be expended for capital improvements to public facilities
necessitated by growth. Rate indexing provides additional funding for capital projects consistent
with the increases in actual costs, promotes predictability of the annual revennes, rednces costs
for services of rate consultants, allows the development and construction industries to plan more
accurately for scheduled increases and helps to avoid large rate escalations caused by time lapses
between formal studies.
On February 28, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners directed that the indexing
methodology for each of the impact fees be reviewed and revised, as appropriate, to reflect
localized information and develop a legally defensible indexing program, specific to Collier
County. This direction is consistent with Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes, which is the
Florida Impact Fee Act 2006, requiring the most recent and localized data be nsed in impact fee
calculations. This indexing study was completed by Tindale-Oliver and Associates, Inc.
(Consultant) in association with Robert Burchell, Ph.D. from the Center for Urban Policy and
Research, Bloustein School of Planning/Public Policy at Rutgers. The stndy was presented to the
Board of County Commissioners on May 22, 2007 for their review, consideration and direction.
The Board accepted the findings of the report and directed the County Manager (or his designee)
to finalize the study, prepare the necessary amendments to the Code to incorporate the changes to
the indexing methodologies and the corresponding changes to the impact fee rate schedules for
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners as an advertised public hearing. The
"Collier County Impact Fee Indexing Study" and associated rate schedules were adopted by the
Board on June 26, 2007 via Ordinance No 2007-57 with a delayed effective date of Jannary I,
2008.
Currently each of the County's twelve (12) impact fees has an adopted methodology for annual
indexing which is specific to the individual impact fee. The "Collier County Impact Fee Indexing
Study," identifies four measures (land costs, building costs, building equipment costs and
transportation costs) to be used, alone or in combination, to calculate the annual index for each of
Collier Connty's impact fees. The adopted methodology then uses the calculated indexes over a
10 year period fitted with a linear regression analysis. This method has an overall smoothing
effect on the index and therefore the index is slower to increase in years of escalating costs and
slower to decrease in years that costs are declining.
The following chart provides the indexes which generated the cnrrent adopted fees for EMS, Fire
(Dependent Districts), Government Buildings, Law Enforcement, Library and School Impact
Fees.
Impact Fee Category Indexing Percentage of Increase
Adopted: June 26, 2007
Effective: January I, 2008
EMS l1.8%
Fire (Dependent Districts) 5.9%
Government Bnildings 9.8%
Law Enforcement 8.5%
Library 9.4%
School 97%
The Productivity Committee conducts a review of certain impact fees being updated or indexed
(on a rotating schedule) to determine if the fee structure increases are justifiable. At their meeting
held on October 15, 2008, the Productivity Committee discussed in length impact fee indexing
for EMS, Fire (Dependent Districts), Government Buildings, Law Enforcement, Library, and
School. The update studies for the remammg six impact fees (Water, Sewer, Correctional
Facilities, Transportation, Community and Regional Parks) are in the process of being
completed or have completed and therefore are not subject to indexing on this annual rotation.
At the October 15, 2008 meeting, the Productivity Committee unanimonsly approved the
following recommendation relative to the proposed impact fee indexing:
"That the Board of County Commissioners defer a decision on impact fee adjustments as
proposed until such time the methodology can he reassessed. "
While the Productivity Committee and the Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC)
each reviewed the cnrrent indexing methodology prior to its adoption by the Board in 2007, and
theoretically agreed with the findings of the report based on the "sound technical practices"
(Productivity Committee) and "first-class quality and technical merits of the stndy" (DSAC), the
Productivity Committee has requested that the Board temporarily defer impact fee indexing to
allow the Productivity Committee roughly 3-4 months to re-analyze the methodology. This
reqnest was due in part to the desire of the Productivity Committee to consider the
appropriateness of an indexing model that is more sensitive to the current economic conditions.
On October 28, 2008 at the regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, under the
Communications Section of the Agenda, the Board directed that the Productivity Committee be
afforded the opportunity to review the indexing methodology consistent with the Committee's
request. The Board also agreed that thc County's impact fee consultants, Tindale-Oliver and
Associates would assist with the review.
During the December 17, 2008 Productivity Committee review of the "Collier County
Transportation Impact Fee Update Study" (Update Study) the committee also recommended, by
a majority vote, that all of the impact fee rates be rolled back to the rates in effect on December
31, 2007. This gnidance was provided in addition to the recommendations given related to the
Update Study.
On January 13, 2009 and February 10, 2009, the Board provided direction related to the
implementation of the Update Stndy and corresponding rate schedule and the change to the
timing of payments to obtain a Certificate of Adequate Public Facilities (COA). The Board
elected not to implement the rollback recommendation of the Productivity Committee.
Therefore, on January 21, 2009, the Productivity Committee provided further direction to staff
and the impact fee consultant to facilitate the completion of a report on indexing options for the
Committee's review.
On February 18, 2009, the Productivity Committee reviewed the materials prepared and
presented by the impact fee consultant and determined that the methodology for annual indexing
should be revised from the current use of regression analysis to the use of the average cost
change over a two year or three year period, as this method is intended to be more responsive to
cost fluctuations. This recommendation was approved unanimously by the Committee. The
impact fee consultant has since determined that the two year average shonld be utilized for the
purpose of the indexing calculation because of its responsiveness to cost changes. This approach
is consistent with the Productivity Committee's recommendation. The table below provides a
side-by-side comparison of the scenarios for each of the impact fees that are scheduled to be
indexed. Column "B" represents the proposed index using the adopted regression analysis model
and Column "C" provides the index using the two-year average. Column "C" also utilizes the
most current data available for the indexes and therefore reflects the Productivity Committee
recommcndation.
A B C
Impact Fee Category Calculated Index Using Calculated Index Using 2-
Adopted Regression Year Average (2007 and
Analysis 2008 data)
Emergency Medical Services 13% 3.2%
F ire Protection
(Dependent Districts) 7.4% 1.3%
Government Buildings 11.9% 7.2%
Law Enforcement 10.2% 4.1%
Library 11.2% 5.3%
School 11.7% 6.5')10
As displayed in the chart above, the calcnlation utilizing the two-year average is more sensitive
to cost fluctuations than the adopted methodology using regression analysis. While none of the
indices reflect a negative number, there is a significant downward trend in the percentages. It is
also important to note that of the index measures (land costs, building costs, building equipment
costs and transportation costs) the greatest changes have been in the areas of land cost and
transportation costs. The types of impact fees being reviewed in this cycle have the greater
weight of the index placed in building costs and equipment costs where the downward trend is
not as dramatic. A comparison of the two-year average calculation using 2006 and 2007 data
versus 2007 and 2008 data is provided as Attachment "A" in order to provide an example of the
ongoing changes. In the fnture, as costs begin to increasc this method will also quickly capture
any upward trends.
In the event that the Board elects to implement the Productivity Committee's recommendation
and amend the indexing methodology to utilize the two-year average calculation, the indices will
continue to be calculated and revised annually consistent with the new approach. Additionally,
in the event that the index for a specified impact fee equals a 15 percent or greater change, the
cost increase will be verified through bid data, land purchases and other available data, as
recommended by the Consultant and legal counsel in order to the accuracy of the calculation.
Upon receiving direction from the Board related to this item, staff will provide the Development
Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) with a full report for their review and recommendations.
STAFF ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATIONS: With the change to a two-year average, the
percentages by which the impact fee rates will bc adjusted have been greatly reduced. However,
as stated above, none of the indices reflect a negative number which would translate to a
reduction in fees. The recommendation by the Productivity Committee provides an option to
continue with the concept of indexing while utilizing a model that is sensitive to cost
fluctuations. By retaining the provision that any change of 15% or more (increase or decrease)
must be verified, the accuracy of the calculation will be scrutinized and the volatility of the two-
year average will also be reviewed. While the adopted indexing methodology utilizing the
regression analysis is technically correct and legally defensible, the currcnt economic conditions
dictate that a different methodology is appropriate.
In the event that the Board is seeking to take action that will not result in the increase of any
impact fees, the corresponding action may be to accept the Productivity Committee's
recommendation to utilize the two-year averagc for calculation of the indices and amend the
Code requirements to reflect that direction. However, the Board would also direct that the rate
schedule changes generated by the application of the index would not be implemented duc to the
economic downturn.
As stated above, thc impact fees that are subject to this cycle of indexing are scheduled for a full
review during Calendar Year 2009. Therefore, the Board shonld also determine if it is
appropriate to delay the schednled reviews. Staff recommends that if the Board elects this course
of action that it be limited to this Calendar Year with staff reporting back to the Board in
November or December (2009) in order to develop a schedule for indexing and full studies. This
action would not affect the ongoing Parks Impact Fee Update Study or the Correctional Facilities
Impact Fee Update Study, as those are required 2008 update studies that are nearing completion
and will be presented to the Board at a future date. Water and Sewer Impact Fces are scheduled
for indexing in 2009 and will proceed on that schedule nnless otherwise directed by the Board.
FISCAL IMPACT: The following chart provides a comparison between the application of the
current indexing methodology (regression analysis) and the proposed revised indexing
methodology (two-year average) and the dollar difference between the two indices for each of
the individual impact fees for a 2,000 square foot (living area) single family home.

While the chart above provides a comparison between the two indexing calculations, the chart
below provides the changes to the impact fee rates, by category, based on the Prodnctivity
Committee's recommendation to utilize a two-year average for the calculation. As stated above,
none of the indices reflect a negative number therefore the below reflects increases to the
adopted rates.

School $10,098.98 $10,755.41 $656.43
TOTAL INCREASE $781.14
Total impact fees for a 2,000 square foot (living area) single-family home currently total
$35,657.1], on Connty Water and Sewer service. The indexing changes above would increase
the total to $36,438.25. This equates to a 2% increase in the total impact fees for a single-family
home. However, these numbers do not take into acconnt the rednctions to the Road Impact Pees
that are proposed to become effective on June 8, 2009. The associated reduction to a 2,000
square foot single-family home is $1,150.55 which is 10% in that category.
The following are additional examples of the total impact fee increases related to indexing for
common land uses. As stated above, these numbers do not reflect the Road Impact Pees
proposed to become effective on June 8, 2009, which reflect downward adjustments to the
General Industrial and Office categories and an increase in the Retail category.

10,000 square feet
* Includes estimated Water and Sewer impact Fees. Actual Water and Sewer Impact Fees are calculated on
infol111ation that is specific to the proposed construction.
Revenue projections related to the indexing of the individual impact fees depend heavily on the
permitting trends during the time period of the impact fee increase. Any changes in permitting
activity and trends associated with the size of new homes and/or commercial and other non-
residential buildings being constructed in Collier County will directly affect this impact fee
revenue stream. In accordance with Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes a minimum 90-day
notice is given after the final adoption of an impact fee or impact fee increase and the
implementation of the fee. This allows permits that are "in process" via a complete building
permit application to remain at the then current ratcs and are thcrefore not snbject to imposition
of increased impact fees.
Because of the decline in construction activity impact fee revenue has also been significantly
rednced. Based upon actual impact fee collections and current permitting activity and forecasts,
the following is the projected change in impact fee revenne associated to the indexing rate
revisions assnming that development activity remains constant. Any further decline in activity
will also directly affect the impact fees collections. Additionally, any increases to the impact fee
revenue generated by this proposed change will not be recognized in Fiscal Year 2009 due to the
timeframe for public hearing and adoption and the required 90-day notice period.
Impact Fee Potential Increase in Annnal Collections
Based on Current Activity
Emergency Medical Services $6,500
Fire Protection - Dependent Districts $74
Isles of Capri and Ochopee
Government Buildings $57,000
Law Enforcement $13,400
Library $18,000
School $200,000
Finally, the six impact fees above are scheduled for a full update study (3 year) as required by
Section 74-502 of the Code which requires that impact fees be reviewed "at least every three
years." The cost of an annual update generally ranges from $60,000 to over $100,000 depending
on the scope of work. The average cost of the most recent studies was $70,600. The cost of
these studies is incurred by the applicable impact fee trust fund for which the study is being
conducted.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The concept of annnal indexing is consistent with
Objective 1.2 of the Capital Improvement Element (CIE) of the Collier County Growth
Management Plan (GMP), which states: "Future development will bear a proportionate cost of
facility improvements necessitated by growth."
Impact Fees generate funds to be expended for capital improvements to pnblic facilities
necessitated by growth. Rate indexing provides additional funding for capital projects, promotes
predictability of the annual revenues, reduces costs for services of rate consultants, allows the
development and construction industries to plan more accnrately for scheduled increases and
helps to avoid large rate escalations caused by time lapses between formal studies. Additionally,
this approach is consistent with Section 163.3180 I, Florida Statutes, which is the Florida Impact
Fee Act 2006, requiring the most recent and localized data be used in impact fee calculations.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Attorney will work with staff to
simple majority vote. -JAK
No legal issues are presented at this time. The County
implement Board direction. This is a regular item requiring
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
consider the recommendation by the Collier County Productivity Committee to ntilize a two-year
average to caIcnlate the annual impact fee indexing, the requirements for which are set forth in
Article III, Special RequirementsJar Specific Types of Impact Fees, of Chapter 74 of the Collier
County Code of Laws and Ordinances such that this calculation method will update the adopted
methodology in the approved "Collier County Impact Fee Indexing Study" in order to provide an
approach for indexing that is more responsive to cost flnctuations; also based on the review, that
the Board of County Commissioners provide direction to the County Attorney and the County
Manager, or his designee, on proceeding with thc preparation of the required ordinance
amendment to implement the change to the indexing methodology and corresponding rate
schedules, for Government Bnildings, Law Enforcement, Dependent Fire, Emergency Medical
Services and Edncational Facilities Impact Fees, for consideration at a future regular meeting of
the Board of County Commissioners as an advertised public hearing.
Prepared by: Amy Patterson, Impact Fee and Economic Development Manager
CDES
Responses to DSAC issues raised at the last meeting.
A. Dumpster permits should be combined with building permits in most cases.
Accessory structures have to be permitted separately so the main structure can receive its
CO. If there is a dumpster on 0 set of plans then it is the some as having 2 separate
structures. It is possible that we cauld hold up the CO because the plan was not complete.
Even if the site had 2 permit numbers on the same set of plans if one foiled the other could
not be approved.
B. Public and private schools should be treated equally
Public schools are deemed to be an authority with junsdictlon and in essence is the" own
permitting authority and as such their plans are not subject to county review Not so with
private schools. Exemption of pnvate schools would require a policy change from the Board
as well as subsequent amendments to the LOC..
C. The EAC and PAB should be combined since Ihere is so much overlap in their reviews. The Staff
time necessary to attend and prepare for both meeting could be cut In half Perhaps the
combined Committee could have 3 members from lhe EAC and 6 members from the PAB.
This issue is dead. BCC will advertise for new membership
D. Attendance of Pre-application Meetings should be optional for the Applicant. The fee would still
be collected In the event tb."-9J2Q1lcaQLg~ercISe_';Jlle uS.e._QfJb.e~QJ211QQ but Applicant and Staff time
could be saved.1
I have no problem making this a option but if the applicant decides to forgo a pre-app and we
reject an application for insufficiency it counts as a first submittal and the applicant is charged
the 2"d submittal fee when they reapply. This idea was discussed a few years ago when we
split 113/131 fees and it was decided that the time spent was worth the meeting. Personally,
I believe that we are going to end up extending the review time as a result as issues related
to the application/interpretatIOn of the code that could have been discussed at a pre-app will
end up being delayed and become part of the review process
E. Is the Software implementation including too much customization thereby prolonging the
implementation? [Space Inserted]
There's a no, yes, no answer to this one. For Phose 1, Code Enforcement, it was one
department with simple processes so this wasn't an issue, and the Phase went live
pretty quickly. For Phase 2, Planning, customization is one of perhaps three issues
that has slowed things down. For Phase 2 a lot of customization couldn't be avoided,
our LOC requirements are in fact different and more complex than most other
jurisdictions, and there is no out of the box type solution. We don't have the option
of changing processes that are dictated by law. Other factors in this phase going
slow include it's simply bigger, the other phases involve one department, this
involves Zoning, Camp Planning, Engineering, Environmental, Impact Fees, PUO
Monitoring, and a variety of reviewers in other ~ivisions. The other slow down
reason was that Municipal was acquired by another company during the Phase,
Harris Computer Systems, and that diverted their focus for a few manths during the
transition in management. For Phase 3, Building, it's just one department that does
things like most other building departments in Florida, and we do not
anticipate much customization and a quick turnaround like with Code.
F. Confirm that all of lhe scanned documents Will be available to all departments and to deSign
professionals
Yes, all scanned documents ore readily accessible through Webxtender, which County
staff can hove on account issued by IT. As for the design professionals and members of the
public, the recards deportment has a station set up in their area for external customers to
have staff assisted access. No access is available via the internet.
G. Building square footage for impact fee calculations should not include vents and shafts in
accordance with building code.
Impact fees are based on the square footage based on the information on the cover sheet.
Shafts and vents can be excluded from total square footage calculations.
H. Delete 50508 in its enlirety.
The architectural provisions of the code which were substantially revised and relaxed in 2004.
If there are specific sections that are difficult to understand or Implement we can look at
them. Architectural standards help preserve and protect the identity of a commumty (as well
as property values)
1. Review fees are simply too high. They should be no more than 2% of construction for SOP's and
subdivision plans. Rezoning fees should be proportionately lower also. In some cases, county
review fees are higher than what we charge to prepare the work. The county only has to review
our work, and their fees should be much lower. Many ancillary fees should be eliminated. The
basic fee should cover everything. Fire reviews should be eliminated unless a fire review is
actually necessary.
The CDES fee schedule is based on the cost of services provided. The only way fees can be
reduced is if the services ore subsidized by the generol fund.
2. Limit the number of reviewers on applications. SOP's and subdivisions shouldn't have more
than 6 or so reviewers: zoning, engineering, landscaping, utilities. environmental, and
transportation are the critical reviews. Others can be folded into these. This would also reduce
staffing requirements and reduce operating cost commensurate with fee reductions. It would
also greatly speed up review times, which is the major complaint with county reviews.
Reviews performed ore pursuant to the we. In addition to the disciplines noted stoff
conducts architectural and water management reviews.
3. Establish better liaison or coordination with other departments (e.g. transportation) who must
review applications to improve the timeliness of their review and eliminate complications from
last-minute staff comments.
Thank you and noted.
4. Reduce the sidewalk requirements, especially on external roads. A property owner shouldn't be
responsible for building sidewalks that aren't on his property. The county should do this if they
want sidewalks.
Tronsportotion issue..
5. Reduce the requirements for SOPA's and SOPI's. Most SOPA's should be handled as SOPI's, and
most SOPI's should be handled as field changes. Larger tolerances in building square footage
should also be allowed without triggering an SOPA.
The SOP requirements have been combined and reduced and narrowed down over the past
years. Please cite speCifics so thai we have a clearer understating of the request
6. Reduce or eliminate the requirement for boundary surveys on all submittals. In most cases, a
legal description is sufficient. After all, that's all that appears on someone's deed.
Agree. only as far as the term "all submittals" is concerned because we've had parcels well
Within the boundary of large sites where there is no chance that the construction will result in
encroachments and no need for a "survey". a simple legal descnption will do, but the person
that makes the call should probably be the County Surveyor and he should be allowed to
issue a letter stating why the survey isn't reqUired.
BUT. we thmk that all single family building permit submittals should have a boundary
survey so that we can see encroachments and existing easements... that's where we've had
the most problems gomg to the BCC
7. Stop requiring the SFWMD permit before SDP or subdivision approval. This could be changed to
requiring the SFWMD permit before construction begins. That's what is used to be.
Permits are required by stoff to assure that approved plans conform to the approved district
permit.
8. Stop requiring conservation easements over all native vegetation. This should only be required
for larger preserves as part of state and/or federal permits. Also stop requiring preserve
management plans on all native vegetation.

9. For properties undergoing renovation or expansion, reduce the requirements to upgrade
existing properties to current codes. This should apply to the building and site work including
landscaping, ADA accessibility, sidewalks, ete. We should be encouraging improvement of
property, not discouraging it by making it too costly.
Staff recognizes the need to amend the LOC to allow for a proportionate applicotion of the
requirements in the LOC for properties being redeveloped/rehabilitated. That said, staff
needs industry input and involvement to understand how best to amend the code to achieve
this objective while at the same time assuring that improvements proportionally eliminate
existing nonconformities.
10. Sites under 10 acres and 2 acres impervious should only require water quality stormwater
detention, not the 25-year storm attenuation (SFWMD rules exempt these sites from their
requirements).
According to the SFWMD. their rules exempt those small sites from permit procedures. not
from permit rules

373.413,373.416,373.426 FS. History- New 10-3-95, Amended 4-14-03
The District and our engineering department both agree that the rule means both water
quality and quantity but generally the 3 in. 0 bleeder passes more than the minimum
allowable anyway. A three inch bleeder under a foot of head will pass about. 25 cfs. which
at the maximum allowable rate of 15 cfs is good for a 1.6 acre site.. and many of our baSinS
have allowable rates much lower than that. Even after we lose the delegation. SFWMD says
that we still have to check the sites that fall under the 10/2 rule
11. Stop requiring ADA sidewalks "to the public road." The intent here is to provide ADA access
between buildings and vehicles in the parking lot, not beyond which there is no need for such
access.
Agree.
12. Impact fees are astronomical and discourage growth and development. They are actually more
significant in construction than some of the actual construction features. The county should
look at reducing them (particularly roads) and look for alternate, broader-based funding sources
(ad valorem tax, real estate exchange tax, sales tax, etc.). The requirement for prepayment of
50% of road impact fees should be ended. The cost is simply too burdensome for builders,
developers and lends, and is actually chasing away potential businesses and industry from the
area.
Noted. This is not a staff issue as it is a policy issue which needs to be addressed to the
Board.
13. Architectural guidelines should be relaxed, especially for site work. Foundation landscaping
should be more flexible to allow narrower landscape strips. Pavers shouldn't be required.
Benches and other amenities shouldn't be required.
I do not understand the comment regarding site work or flexibility of foundation landscaping.
Please clanfy.
14. Architectural guidelines should be relaxed for buildings in industrial parks and similar
developments where architecture is not as important as function. Some industrial parks should
be allowed to look like industrial parks.
Architectural for Industnal areas are applicable to those projects that abut arterial or collector
roads or are Within 300 feet of residential (and PUDs but there aren.t many industnal PUDs)
Industrial buildings warehousing and dlstnbutlon and storage bUIldings are all spectftcally
identified In the Code and have relaxed standards The vanatlon In massing and fagade
treatments are applicable only to those facades facing the street and/or residential.
15. MANY codes should be changed for the Immokalee area, especially landscaping and
architectural guidelines. This may require a separate code for Immokalee, which may be in
progress, but this needs to be on the front burner as Immokalee may be key to the county's
economic growth.
Changes to both the lAMP in the GMP and modification to the LDC have been submitted by
the Immokalee CRA and are currently under review.
