DISCUSSION:
California Government Code, section 66000 provides a process by which the Board may establish PFIF.
The PFIF program was established by the Board in 2008 to pay for portions of qualified public facilities in six categories, which was based on an impact fee study conducted in 2006. The six categories were Countywide Public Protection, General Government, Libraries, Health and Human Services, Sheriff’s Patrol and Investigation, and County Parks and Open Space. Consistent with the 2006 impact fee study and as provided in the capital improvement plan for the PFIF, most recently updated by the Board on March 20, 2018, PFIF funds in the County Parks and open Space category may be spent to construct a fire pit area at Lost Lake Park. Parks and Grounds staff will perform the installation of fire pits and concrete benches. The PFIF funds must be expended before November 10, 2018.
