COUNCIL VIA RESOLUTION NO. 17-12; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING
FOR CODIFICATION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Eagle is a municipal corporation operating under the laws of the
state of Idaho; and
WHEREAS, Idaho Code §67-8208 requires a governmental entity imposing a development
impact fee to update its capital improvements plan at least once every five (5) years in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Idaho Code §67-8206; and
WHEREAS, the City of Eagle Development Impact Fee Advisory Committee has assisted
the City in analyzing, monitoring, and revising land use assumptions and the implementation of
the capital improvements, advising the City Council as to necessary revisions to the City's capital
improvements plan and impact fee study, and assisting the City in drafting proposed amendments
pertaining thereto; and
WHEREAS, after public hearing in accordance with Idaho Code §67-8206 the City
Council adopted an amendment to the "City of Eagle Development Impact Fee Study" entitled
"Amendment and Updates to: Development Impact Fee Study & Capital Improvements Plan"
dated March 2017 (hereinafter referred to in this Ordinance as "Study"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after careful consideration, hereby finds and declares that
an impact fee imposed upon residential development to finance parks and pathways, the demand
for which is created by such development, is in the best interest of the general welfare of the City
and its residents, is equitable, does not impose an unfair burden on such development by forcing
developers and builders to pay more than their fair share or proportionate share of the cost, and
deems it advisable to adopt revisions to this ordinance adopting an amended impact fee study and
capital improvements plan as hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF EAGLE, IDAHO as follows:
Section 1: That Eagle City Code Title 7, Chapter 6, Section 6 be amended as follows:

„: 2017 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Executive Summary and Recommendations
The Idaho Development Impact Fee Act in Idaho Code, Title 67, Chapter 82, requires capital
improvement plans upon which impact fee systems are based be "updated” every five years. This
report represents the third amendment of the City of Eagle's Development Impact Fee
Study/Capital Improvements Plan dated May 11, 1999 (Hofman Study). The Hofman Study
recommended a schedule of impact fees for parks and a schedule of impact fees for pathways.
The City adopted only the impact fees for parks.
This Update and Amendment to the Development Impact Fee and Capital Improvement Plan
(2017 Update) identifies changes to parks planning with the establishment of a Parks and
Recreation Department (the Department).
The City Parks and Pathway Committee conducted a Parks and Path Survey of 2010. The
overwhelming majority of survey respondents requested more trails for biking, walking, dog
friendly parks, and wildlife observation paths. The Department responded to these requests by
developing large portions of the Eagle Sports Complex for bike uses and planning for additional
nature park areas along the Boise River. Portions of the Eagle Sports Complex leased from the
County were returned to Ada County control in exchange for the purchase of 48.83 acres. In
addition, the City purchased another 11.93 acres from Ada County in 2016. New park areas have
been constructed for bike activities with new restrooms being added. The previous 2011 Update
followed a master plan that included the construction of a Velodrome that was not funded. The
result of these actions is a change in the value of the overall park system. At the "3.3 acres per
1,000 population" standard adopted in 1999, the City is in a 1.47 acre surplus in developed park
acreage for the current population. Adjusting for the changes and credit for surplus acreage yields
a recommended decrease of the park impact fee from $466.06 per capita to $395.65 per capita,
or from $1,314.29 to $1,115.72 per single family dwelling unit.
The 2017 Update readdresses the issue of development impact fees for pathways. The Hofman
Study Pathway Facilities section was guided by an October 14, 1997, Pathway Plan map that
contained information that misguided the calculation of pathway impact fees, to wit: it identified
substantial pathway corridors that lay within the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation
Department, Ada County Highway District, Garden City, Idaho Department of Lands, and the
Farmer's Union Canal Company. Pathway impact fee projections resulted in stirring significant
public controversy. After several attempted revisions to the Hofman Study, Pathway Facilities
section, the City chose not to adopt an impact fee for pathways.

CITY OF EAGLE — IMPACT FEE
2017 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Each time the pathway system issue is addressed by public surveys, by Comprehensive Plan
amendments, or in any other forum on the City's quality of life, continued pathway development
is foremost among the goals of the residents of Eagle. With the adoption of the Corrected
Pathway Map, a revised level of service that reflects historic and current conditions is possible.
Using the corrected map and population data, the current and recommended level of service is
2,700 linear feet of pathways per 1,000 population'. Based upon this level of service and the
value of the existing greenbelt and pathway system owned by the City, an impact fee of $117.20
per capita, or $330.50 per residential unit is recommended to preserve the existing level of service
over the next ten year growth increment. At this level of service, pathway funding from the City's
general fund is not required for new pathways.
1 The Hofman Study used the term "population" in reference to specific numeric values and the term "residents" in non-
numeric references to citizens of Eagle. This reference convention is continued in this 2017 Update.

CITY OF EAGLE — IMPACT FEE
2017 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Section 1: Introduction
The 1992 Idaho Legislature passed House
Bill No. 804, Title 67, Chapter 82, Idaho
Code, known as the Impact Fee Act that set
forth the requirements for the calculation
and accounting of impact fees. To require
impact fees, a local governmental entity
must adopt a Comprehensive Plan, an
Impact Fee Ordinance, and a Capital
Improvement Plan to comply with Idaho
Iaw.2 These plans must be reviewed
annually with respect to capital
improvements with a full update at least
every five years.3
The purpose of impact fees is to provide for an "equitable program for planning and financing
public facilities to serve new growth"4 Stated another way, new growth will "pay its own way" for
development of new public parks and pathways. Prominent features of the law include restrictions
disallowing the use of impact fees for any other purpose than to fund system capital improvement
costs for new public facilities identified in the Capital Improvement Plan and that impact fees must
not exceed the proportionate share of the cost of improvements needed to serve new growth and
development. Proportionate share is that portion of cost of system improvements incurred to
serve new development after any credits, contributions, land dedications, or constructed
improvements and other funding sources are considered.
The 1992 Impact Fee Act, as amended, is essentially the same as when Eagle first passed the
park impact fee on May 11, 1999. Impact fees for parks and pathways are calculated from new
population data since increased demand for parks and pathways is, by Eagle's definition of level
of service, correlated to City residents and housing units. The Impact Fee Ordinance is codified
as Eagle City Code, Title 7, Chapter 6.
The Hofman Study contained two principal sections, Park Facilities and Pathway Facilities. In
1999, the City adopted only the Park Facilities portion and impact fee recommendation
component of the Study. In 2004, the first amendment to the initial study was prepared to update
park inventory, cost, and to recalculate the park deficiency condition. A second update was
prepared in 2011 to address changes in population data, park land acquisition, an updated Capital
Improvement Plan, and updated values including costs of construction. The Pathway Facility
component of the Hofman Study has not been updated since the initial report and
recommendation in 1999.

'ik. ;. 2017 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Under the leadership of the Parks and Recreation Department, the City has prepared a corrected
version of the original Pathway Plan map. The result is a Corrected Pathway Plan map with an
emphasis on greenbelt pathways under City ownership and control.
In its Comprehensive Plan the City adopted as one of its primary objectives for a pathway system
the establishment of greenbelts5 along the Boise River and Dry Creek. Most recently five of the
19 objectives within the Pathway and Greenbelt section of the updated 2015 Comprehensive Pian
are specifically directed toward the continued development of the greenbelt system.
Implementation bullet points from the Comprehensive Plan include:
• Construct bridges to provide access to existing and future greenbelt pathway system
easements.
• Prioritize greenbelt and pathway development: 1) greenbelt/pathway system along the
Boise River, 2) greenbelt/pathway system along Dry Creek.
Reconsideration of impact fees for pathways based upon corrected and updated information is
consistent with the goals and objectives of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.
Limited Scope of the Development Impact Fee 2017 Update
This 2017 Update is focused on specific, eligible capital projects that are anticipated to be
completed within a ten year capital planning horizon to maintain service levels currently enjoyed
by residents of the City. The City has developed a Citywide Parks Master Plan and is planning
for a complementary Citywide Pathway Master Plan. Typically master plans will consider all
aspects of the park and pathway system including, in the instance of pathways, bike lanes and
routes under the jurisdiction of transportation agencies, pathways on state owned property, and
agency or privately maintained pathways available for public use. Impact fees, by contrast, are
limited to specific capital projects consistent with Idaho Codes and adopted by the City.
Development of parks and pathways outside City jurisdiction or on property not controlled by the
City have not historically been funded through City impact fees. As such, they have not been
included in this 2017 Update.
The City contains numerous pathways available for public use, but remaining under the
jurisdiction and maintenance provisions of Home Owner's Associations. Capital improvements
on these pathways are ineligible for impact fee funding.
Residential Units and Allocation of Impact Fees
Since the Hofman Study, the City has experienced unprecedented growth resulting in substantive
modifications to its land use map and to the City's Comprehensive Plan reflecting rapid expansion
5 "Greenbelts are typically land areas that border scenic features or hazard areas (i.e. the Boise River and Dry Creek)
and are designed to prevent undesirable encroachment." 2015 Eagle Comprehensive Plan, p. 115.

and urbanization of the area. After the 2011 Update, the City's population grew by 5,331 residents
to a total of 25,510 in 2016.' Under the land use assumptions currently adopted by the City, the
projected growth rate is 4.5% per year.8 At this rate the population will grow from 25,510 to 39,616
by 2026 and to 58,874 by 2035. The 2010 U.S. Census identified the average number of persons
per residential unit in the City at 2.82 persons and was used for this update.

The Hofman Study and subsequent impact fee updates utilized information from the City of Boise
Parks and Recreation Department as guidance to allocate fees among dwelling types including
multi -family housing, apartments and hotel rooms. A review of census data from the 2011-2015
American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -Year Estimates for Eagle does not support continuation of
this practice. The ratio of single-family to multi -family units are significantly distinct from those of
the larger metropolitan areas in the Treasure Valley. Eagle has fewer than six hundred multiple -
family units and a single hotel which means a person -per -housing -unit -type number was not
sufficiently defined to support a park or pathway fee portioned by housing unit type.

(2,,,4 CITY OF EAGLE — IMPACT FEE
2017 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
The comparison of Boise single-family residential units to Eagle's single-family residential units
as proportions of the total population does not provide a basis for mirroring the historic City of
Boise impact fee proportions for multi -family units.9 Similarly, the City of Meridian 2013 Impact
Fee Study cited a lack of empirical evidence to support fee differentials.10 As a result, it is
recommended single and multi -family residential units have equivalent impact fees.
Level of Service
Level of service is "a measure of the relationship between the service capacity and the service
demand for public facilities."11 Level of service is the basis for evaluating additional capacity
needed for new facilities serving new development. Service levels must be quantifiable and
specific as they set the amount of benefits for payment of impact fees. The quantifiable
development unit recommended for parks and pathways is the "Residential [Dwelling] Unit"
consistent with Title 7, Chapter 6, Eagle City Code.
The relative value of investment relating to the level of service also has a role in the evaluation
process. To provide an accurate impact fee calculation, the value of the various parks and
pathway types or features are estimated and factored into the overall system value. This value
is used to forecast the cost of establishing new facilities utilizing the same approximate mix of
uses and features that exist for current residents. A project that would substantially increase total
park value by the addition of, for example, a regional water park would be considered an increase
in the current level of service which may be ineligible for funding through park impact fees.
A level of service acceptable to the City must be adopted by ordinance. Once adopted, this
standard becomes the basis for new development to construct comparable facilities or to pay
impact fees for the specific capital improvements necessary to allow the City to continue to offer
the quality and quantity of public facilities enjoyed by current residents.
Parks Level of Service
The Hofman Study, following the recommendation of the Development Impact Fee Advisory
Committee, recommended a level of service standard of 3.3 acres of developed park land per
1,000 population. This standard, adopted by the City Council in 1999, is the basis for analyzing
park land surplus or deficiency as the city develops its park system. The Hofman Study did not
distinguish between park types, uses or amenities to meet various needs of the community. It did
recognize that functional distinctions in park size and amenities may result in a range of
development costs.
To address the broad range of activities offered by current park facilities, two new park categories
have been used in the valuation process to denote non -irrigated, natural parks in Eagle: Foothill

Parks and River Wildlife Parks. The park categories were developed in response to consistent
feedback from park users and non-users as most recently exemplified by public input to Eagle's
Citywide Park Master Plan (CPMP).12 They serve to broaden the park experience options
requested by City residents. The additional park categories provided the basis for a refined
estimate of park values which are incorporated into the impact fee calculation.
A ten year horizon for park development is not an unrealistic development horizon. Continued
park facility growth is in demand as evidenced by public input from the 2010 Parks and Pathways
Survey and from the 2015 Citywide Park Master Plan ranking of needed facilities. Park acquisition
and infrastructure development historically involves several City budget funding cycles to
complete.
Park investment is directly related to the quality of City parks as measured by costs of amenities
and features. Once the acreage element is identified, the system improvements and costs are
estimated to quantify a value per acre. This provides a basis for the cost of system improvements
to be paid for by new development through various funding options or through contributions. This
aspect of impact fees allows the City to maintain its unit value of park acreage as the park system
develops to meet demands of growth. This is addressed in the Capital Improvement Plan for
parks.
Pathways Level of Service
The Hofman Study established a pathway level of service by "totaling the lengths of all [existing
and planned] Multiple -Use Paths and Multiple -Use Trails and dividing that amount by the build
out population." It set an initial target level of service at "4,670 linear feet [of pathway] per 1,000
population." This level of service and the resulting cost of implementation was revised numerous
times by alternative projections ranging from 3,058 to 9,205 linear feet per 1,000 population. As
stated above, the level of service controversy resulted in the Council voting not to adopt a pathway
impact fee.
Utilizing the actual population and developed pathway inventory data that existed at the time of
the Hofman Study, the level of service available to City residents may be measured by the
calculation:
Linear Feet Pathway / (Population / 1,000) = Level of Service (1999).
Calculating the level of service by this method yields a value that reflects an actual 1999 facility -
to -population ratio indicative of the public's pathway experience. This level of service value was
2,442 linear feet per 1,000 population.
In the ten year impact fee planning period from 2017 to 2026, the population is expected to grow
from 25,510 to 39,616. By expanding development of the pathway system on pace with
residential growth, the Greenbelt users will not see a reduction in capacity or overall variety of
experience. Applying the 2026 population projection to the corrected Pathway Plan map of

From a historical and current planning perspective, 2,700 linear feet or 0.51 miles per 1,000
population compares well with past levels of service. It is recommended the City use this value
when considering adoption of a level of service to establish an impact fee for pathways.
For comparative purposes, pathways were evaluated using current investment value and the
estimated value of future capital projects. A ten year horizon for continued greenbelt development
is not unreasonable based on current use and public input from the 2010 Parks and Pathways
Survey and from the 2015 Citywide Park Master Plan ranking of needed facilities. The discussion
of pathway value per residential unit is included below in the Capital Improvement Plan section

Section 2: Parks
The City currently has eight developed parks totaling 85.65 acres. These consist of four
neighborhood parks, Heritage Park, and three Targe park areas. Each park offers unique
amenities offering a wide range of recreational experiences.

Arboretum Park
The total acreage owned by the City is 1.29 acres. For the Impact Fee Study, only a
portion of the property was included as developed park since the Senior Center building
and the majority of the parking lots are not being utilized as developed park. Using the
actual park area and two parking stalls, the developed acreage was estimated to be
0.40 acres.
Ada Eagle Sports Park
The total acreage of the City owned portion of the Ada Eagle Sports Park is 63.792
acres (with the 11.93 acres purchased from Ada County). The City's water system
reservoir is located on a parcel with approximately 0.39 acres located within the fence
around the reservoir and excluded from the calculation. In addition, 6.2 acres of the
undeveloped/unusable velodrome area was excluded from the calculation. With these
exclusions, the developed acreage was estimated to be 57.20 acres as summarized
below:
• Skate Board Park (5.05 acres)
• BMX Track (6.00 acres)
• Bike Downhill Skills Course (10.10 acres)
• Reservoir Site -outside fence (2.64 acres)
• Hell Mary Trail Parcel (4.51 acres) — purchased from Ada County in 2016

The City owns 6.2 acres of undeveloped land (previous Velodrome site) within the Eagle Sports
Park Complex, 3.2 acres of undeveloped land in the Mace Ranch Subdivision on Eagle Road,
and 9.6 acres in the floodway along the river west of Merrill park.
Park Development to Maintain Level of Service
By 2026, the City will need a minimum of 130.73 acres of developed parks to serve a population
of 39,616 at the level of service of 3.3 acres per 1,000 population. The expected growth of 14,106
new residents over the next 10 years will require 46.55 additional park acres to maintain the level
of service. However, with the City currently having 1.47 acres of surplus, the total required amount
to maintain the level of service in 2026 will be 45.08 acres.
Value of Developed Parks
The costs per acre for development of parks presented in the 2011 update were used in the 2017
update adjusted to 2016 values. The previous park definitions in the 2011 update were
maintained, but supplemented with the addition of two new park definitions to include non -irrigated
foothill park development and nature park areas. The improvement costs per acre for each park
definition is presented in Table 6.

To arrive at an average cost per acre of developed parks, land values were divided into three
categories. Existing park land was valued at $125,000 per acre, irrigated land for future parks was
valued at $50,000 per acre (consistent with the 2011 Update) and non -irrigated or floodway land
was valued at $7,500 per acre. Land values of existing parks also vary according to the predicted
likelihood of flooding based on maps produced by FEMA. Estimated costs for various park
facilities are applied to land values across the spectrum of locations to arrive at a weighted
average cost value. Combining land and amenities, the average cost per acre for developed
parks is $123,801.52.
Using this average cost, the value of the current 85.65 acre developed park system is
$10,603,600. The value per acre is less than the value of $179,580 per acre established in the
2011 Update due in part to the development of large non -irrigated foothill bike parks and facilities
which are Tess expensive to construct than a comparable acreage of irrigated parks with
playground equipment and other amenities. This resulted in a decrease in the overall value per
acre of developed parks.
As new developed acres are added to the inventory at the rate necessary to maintain the level of
service, it is recommended the impact fee analysis be reviewed annually. This will permit the
impact fee to reflect any significant swings in park land value and development cost.

In keeping with the goals and objectives of the 2011 Comprehensive Plan and the Development
Impact Fee Ordinance, the City is working with land owners to acquire additional park land.
Planned but as yet undeveloped park acreages have been identified in several areas of the City.
For river access parks, planned improvements consist of a restroom facility and paved parking
with some minor trail work in keeping with the natural setting. These will eventually be located at
all river access points. Identified on the attached map.
A river wildlife area identified below is that portion of the floodway lying east of Eagle Road
adjacent to Merrill Park on the North Channel of the Boise River. The proposed Lakemoor and
Gateway South parks are identified park acreages within larger development tracts that have
received preliminary plat approval. At the present time this land remains in private ownership and
actual developed acreage remains undetermined. Sites for the Western Park and the
Sport/Ballfield Complex have yet to be determined. At least one larger park will be located west
of Linder to better serve residents in the western area. Guerber Park will be expanded to the east
to include a grass seating area for sports events and to provide better drainage and
accommodation of runoff water.

2017 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Section 3: Pathways
The foundation study for establishing pathway impact fees, the Hofman Study, evolved from
community discussions calling for a citywide pathway system along the Boise River greenbelt that
would complement a regional greenbelt pathway system. Numerous updates to the
Comprehensive Plan, the 2011 Eagle Parks and Pathways Survey, and focus groups with a
citizen survey developed for the draft 2015 CPMP have consistently ranked pathways and access
to the greenbelt at the top of a list of desired City amenities.13 More than 90% of respondents
reported some pathway use and use of the Boise River greenbelt ranked number one in terms of
park and path visitation.
The Pathway Facilities portion of the Hofman Study was guided by an October 14, 1997, Pathway
Plan map containing information that misguided the calculation of pathway impact fees. It
identified portions of pathway corridors that lay within the jurisdiction of the Idaho Transportation
Department, Ada County Highway District, Garden City, the Idaho Department of Lands, and the
Farmer's Union Canal Company. Pathway impact fee projections were presented that included
proposed improvements outside the jurisdiction of the City. The proposed level of service at 4,670
linear feet per 1,000 population would have resulted in the City beginning its impact fee process
with a million dollar pathway deficit. These report conclusions produced significant public
controversy and testimony before the City Council. After several revisions to the study report
were advanced and rejected, the City elected not to adopt an impact fee for pathways.
A corrected map was prepared in 2016 based on recognized easements and rights of way
controlled and maintained by the City. Trail segments in corridors within the state or county
jurisdictions have been removed. Trails along canal banks owned by Farmer's Union Canal
Company were withdrawn due to Farmer's Union policies based on functional and liability
concerns for the public. Trails currently owned and maintained by the City were highlighted to
create an accurate basis for reassessing a pathway level of service. Finally, certain areas of the
October, 1997 map that projected greenbelt trails through state lands or in areas that cannot be
realistically improved due to current subdivision encroachment or environmental concerns have
been modified to reflect those realities. The result is a revised Corrected Pathway Plan map of
City owned and maintained paths demonstrating the historic emphasis on greenbelt pathways.
An inventory of all identifiable sections of pathways was conducted incorporating plat information
and photographic evidence from Google Earth.14 Pathway construction and materials were
verified with City staff. Proposed pathway connections and bridges linking existing paths were
added to the inventory to provide a basis for a Pathway Capital Improvement Plan. Existing and
proposed rights-of-way were estimated to develop a basis for property acquisition costs. Concept
level bridge estimates were prepared from approximate distances utilizing Google Earth and Ada
County map data.15 This information is identified on the pathway map as existing and planned
improvements.

Developed Pathways
The City's pathway system is made up of five types of pathways constructed primarily along
greenbelt routes bordering the Boise River and Dry Creek. The five types are defined by surfacing
materials, pathway width, and designated uses. Highly utilized sections are surfaced with asphalt
pavement or concrete befitting their traffic volumes and urban environment. Greenbelt sections
in the areas of low use reflect low impact materials or the simple clearing of the greenbelt pathway
or trail varying between 4 and 8 feet in width to conform to permit requirements of the US Army
Corps of Engineers. Frequently these low volume pathways meander with undulating slopes
conforming to natural riverbank contours. The current variety and relative scale of components
of the pathway system is illustrated in the inventory summary below.

Total Pathways 68,540
Construction standards have been applied by the City for Type 1, Type 1 C, and Type 2 improved
pathways. Type 3 and Type 4 unsurfaced pathways utilize native materials including gravel, chips,
or bark and minimal constructed improvements to retain the natural feel of the riparian ecosystem.
Negotiated easements, neighborhood agreements, agency permits, soil types, intended uses,
and user volume define the placement and types of pathways utilized by the City.
Value of Developed Pathways
Total pathway value is derived from an assessment of land value and from estimates based on
construction methods and materials. Land was valued in broad terms based on its location with
respect to flood designation maps by FEMA. Land within the floodway was valued at a lessor
amount per acre than land in the 100 -year flood plain, 500 -year flood plain, or land outside a
designated flood boundary, respectively. Construction values reflecting 2016 costs as Public
Works projects are applied to the various pathway material types and quantities.16 Pathway
bridge costs gathered from the City's seven existing pathway bridges are used to arrive at a unit

price per square foot for new bridges planned for four new crossings. The overall value of the
current pathway system complete with bridges is $4,109,114, or $59.95 per linear foot. Applying
another unit of measure, the pathway system is valued at $454.24 per residential unit.

To maintain the pathway system level of service for the next ten year increment of growth, the
City will want to develop an additional 38,086 linear feet of greenbelt pathways. This will allow
the City to fill in gaps in the greenbelt system, add additional bridges for interconnectivity, and
add new pathways of all types in keeping with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and desires
of residents as evidenced by community surveys conducted by the Parks and Pathway Committee
and by consultants.
Expansion of the pathway system is guided by the adoption of the Corrected Pathway Plan map
featuring greenbelt improvements along the Boise River and Dry Creek. Funding sources were
considered in the cost and local match components of the estimate. Maintenance and
improvement to the existing pathway system are ineligible for funding from impact fees. Pathways
not identified on the Corrected Pathway Plan map and identified in the Capital Improvement Plan
are also ineligible for development through impact fees. Developer contributions, including right-
of-way and construction cost, to the pathway system are only eligible for reimbursements or
credits if the pathway is one identified on the Corrected Pathway Plan map or Capital
Improvement Plan.

The pathway system is accessible to the public: existing and new residents. New construction is
not to increase the level of service to existing residents, but to maintain the level of service
available to current residents as the population increases.
By adopting a pathway level of service of 2,700 linear feet per 1,000 population for greenbelt
development, which reflects the level of service currently enjoyed by residents of the City, there
is no deficit correcting contribution required of the general fund.

Section 4: Funding and Implementation
There are various sources that may be used to fund parks and pathways in addition to impact
fees. Often the successful financing of a complex project requires combining several sources.
Projects requiring multiple years or phases to complete may draw from grant or partnership
opportunities that have constraints for timing or qualifying criteria. A funding strategy that
emphasizes the diligent pursuit all options is vital for achieving success.
Funding Sources
General Fund: Use of the general fund provides the most flexibility for municipal park and
pathway projects, but this fund is used to operate all other general functions of a city. In the
instance of a level of service deficit, this fund will be used to correct the deficiency.
General Obligation Bonds: This source borrows money for public facilities that is repaid through
funds generated through increased taxes. Bond approval requires a vote from the citizens and
passage by two thirds of the voters. Normally, General Obligation Bonds are used to fund larger
projects due to the effort required to prepare and present a project sufficient to gain voter approval.
Revenue Bonds: These bonds depend upon repayment from cash flow generated by the facility
being constructed. This funding requires voter approval.
Grants: Grants are available from a variety of sources, both public and private. All grants have
qualifying criteria that must be met and most applications are competing with other municipal
applicants. For most grants from public agencies there are calendar cycles for making
applications. When competing for grants, success is determined by the quality of the application
and the project's ability to achieve the purpose and objectives of the granting agency.
Public Private Partnerships: Developing a Public Private Partnership requires an agreement
signed by all parties to address purpose, financial obligations, and other contractual matters
required to fund and operate a facility. Performance under this framework is often guaranteed by
a construction bond to protect the public funding element.
Public or Private Donations: Donations to the City's general fund may be used for any park or
recreation improvement. Donations that are not a requirement to offset a level of service standard
may be earmarked by the City in accordance with the request of the donor. These funds pass
through the general fund to be used in the manner identified by the donor or at the discretion of
the City.
Donations made for improvements necessitated by growth to maintain the level of service go into
the impact fee fund and can be used only for capital projects identified in the Capital Improvement
Plan. The donor is entitled to a dollar for dollar reduction in impact fees. Documentation of the
transaction is identified as a credit or reimbursement to the donor. Donations in excess of the
donor's obligations under the impact fee requirements are credited as general fund donations.

CITY OF EAGLE - IMPACT FEE
2017 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Implementation
Continued success in funding the development of the parks and pathway system through impact
fees requires a commitment by City leadership to implement those elements of the study required
by the Idaho Development Impact Fee Act. Within that framework, the City may adopt or modify
the recommendations of this Update to reflect its selected capital projects or sequence for
implementation adopted by the City Council.
Corrected Pathway Plan Map:
Since the Hofman Study was predicated on an incorrect map, a first step to open the discussion
of pathways is the adoption of a corrected map with accurate representations of current pathways
and pathway types.
Advisory Committee:
The City shall appoint a development impact fee Advisory Committee to assist in review of land
use assumptions, review the parks and pathway capital improvement plans, and monitor and
evaluate implementation." The Committee shall make recommendations for consideration by the
City Council and should periodically report progress on the implementation of the capital
improvement plan.
Impact Fee Ordinance:
Currently Eagle City Code, Title 7, Chapter 6, Development Impact Fee, prohibits the collection
of impact fees for pathways. Acting on the recommendations of the Advisory Committee, the
Council will consider adoption of the initial or amended park and pathway capital improvement
plans. Ordinance 358 may be amended and adopted pursuant to Idaho Code18, to incorporate
the 2017 Update and Amendments to the Development Impact Fee Study by reference, including:
• a pathway level of service,
• a pathway Capital Improvement Plan,
• an updated parks Capital Improvement Plan, and
• additional language updates as recommended by legal counsel.
Impact Fee Accounting:
Tracking collections, expenditures, and improvements by the City should continue in the manner
prescribed by Idaho Code19 and ECC 7-6-8. This process should be reviewed periodically by the
Advisory Committee and projects may be adjusted according to both impact fees and other funds
made available for parks and pathway projects. Particular attention should be given to the
expenditure of impact fees within eight (8) years on a first -in, first out basis to prevent the refund
of unexpended fees.

Holladay Engineering Companyle
CITY OF EAGLE - IMPACT FEE
2017 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
A Financial Plan for Parks and Recreation:
Parks and pathways are typically not revenue generating sources. Funding for capital
improvements may be used to create infrastructure and amenities, but large amounts of operation
and maintenance costs are incurred to operate these systems. Operation and maintenance costs
are not eligible for funding from impact fees. The City should establish a financial plan that
includes all costs of development and operation.
An element of the financial plan should be setting the policy of developer credits and
reimbursements. Following ECC 7-6-7, General Methodology for Calculation, developers and the
City have the ground rules for assessing the value of donations and in-kind work to determine the
proportional share of fees allocated for a capital project or from a specific development. A written
policy addressing credits, donations, dedication of land and construction of improvements could
assist both parties in planning for costs and budgets.

Impact fees, calculated in the manner prescribed by Title 67, Chapter 82, Idaho Code, and
recommended to the City are summarized in Figure 15.
