REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost (NCC) associated with the recommended actions. The recommended actions would provide the necessary appropriations to disburse the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fees to the City of Clovis, as required after completion of construction of various projects. This item pertains to District 5.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board may choose not to approve the recommended actions; however, without the necessary appropriations, the County would be unable to disburse the Transportation Mitigation Impact Fees to the City of Clovis, as required after completion of construction projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no NCC associated with the recommended actions. Recommended action No. 1 will increase appropriations and estimated revenues in the Department of Public Works and Planning Org 43600300, Water and Natural Resources for expenditures related to disbursement of Transportation Mitigation Impact Fees. Recommended Actions Nos. 2-7 will establish appropriations in the Public Facilities Orgs to allow transfer of funds to Water and Natural Resources Org 43600300 for disbursement to the City of Clovis for completed intersection improvement projects.
DISCUSSION:
The County collects Transportation Mitigation Impact Fees (Fees) from various projects to mitigate transportation and circulation impacts under the provisions of Government Code sections 66000 et seq., and in accordance with Chapter 17.88 of the Fresno County Ordinance Code. Fees are deposited into distinct subclasses created for each project within the Public Facilities Fees Special Revenue Fund 0088 (Fund). These Fees represent a project’s pro-rata share of the total cost for specified improvements. Each project included a Traffic Impact Study as part of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis, identifying cumulative transportation and circulation impacts beyond the project boundaries, outlining mitigation measures, and calculating the pro-rata share.
The Department of Public Works and Planning, Water and Natural Resources Division, is seeking to increase appropriations and estimated revenues in Org 43600300 by $1,305,328 to facilitate the disbursement of Fees to the City of Clovis. The necessary appropriations and revenues for these funds were not included in the adopted FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. Specifically, the disbursements pertain to the following competed projects: Fowler/Shaw Intersection (Org 1309, $21,069), DeWolf/Shaw Intersection (Org 1310, $47,354), Clovis/Shaw Intersection (Org 1316, $65,829), Shaw/Temperance/Clovis Lakes (Org 1317, $1,065,461), Shaw/Temperance/Leonard (Org 1328, $44,625), and Willow Avenue from Shepherd to Copper (Org 1334, $60,990).
Establishing appropriations in these public facilities organizations will enable operating transfers out to Org 43600300, where the funds will be allocated to Account 7295 for Professional & Specialized Services to complete the disbursements. This process complies with Government Code section 29130, requiring a four-fifths vote, and ensures the fees are disbursed as intended for mitigation purposes without impacting Net County Cost.
