1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this study is to establish the rates for impact fees for fire protection facilities in the City of Issaquah, Washington. The City of Issaquah, located approximately 14 miles from downtown Seattle, was established in 1892.

Much of it's growth has occurred since 1990 thrugh annexations. The city currently encompasses 11.28 square miles with a population of just over 17,000. In addition to a growth in it's residential population the City has experienced growth in it's daytime population resulting from large companies such as Costco, Microsoft, Boeing and others locating there. This study of impact fees for fie protection facilities for the City of Issaquah presents the methodology, summarizes the data, and explains the calculation of the fees. The methodology is designed to comply with the requirements of Washington law. This introductipn describes the basis for fire protection impact fees, including: Definition and Rationale of Impact Fees Statutory Basis For Impact Fees Responsibility for Public Facilities Need for Additional Fire Protection Facilities Determining the Benefit of Fire Protection Facilities to Development Data Sources and Calculation

Definition and Rationale of Impact Fees

Impact fees are charges paid by new development to reimburse local governments for the capital cost of public facilities that are needed to serve new development and the people who occupy the new development. New development is synonymous with "growth."

Local governments charge impact fees on either of two bases.

First, as a matter of policy and legislative discretion, they may want new development to pay the full cost of its share of new public facilities because that portion of the facilities would not be needed except to serve

Henderson. June 26, 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page i . .

the new development. In this case, the new development is required to pay for virtually all the cost of its share of new public facilities'.

Second, local governments may use other sources of revenue to pay for the new public facilities that are required to serve new development. I( however, such revenues are not sufficient to cover the entire costs of new facilities necessitated by new development, the new development may be required to pay an impact fee in an amount equal to the difference between the total cost and the other sources of revenue. There are many kinds of "public facilities" that are needed by new development, including fire protection facilities, parks, schools, roads, water and sewer plants, libraries, and other government facilities. This study covers fire protection facilities for the City of Issaquah, Washington. Impact fees for fire protection facilities can be charged to all residential and non-residential development within the City of Issaquah. Statutory Basis For Impact Fees

RCW 82.02.050 - 82.02.090 authorizes local governments in Washington to charge impact fees. The impact fees that are described in this study are not mitigation payments authorized by the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). There are several important differences between impact fees and SEPA mitigations. Two aspects of impact fees that are particularly noteworthy are: I) the ability to charge for the cost of public facilities that are "system improvements" (i.e., that provide service to the community at large) as opposed to "project improvements" (which are "on-site" and provide service for a particular development), and 2) the ability to charge small-scale development their proportionate share, whereas SEPA exempts small developments.

The following synopsis of the most significant requirements of the law includes citations to the Revised Code of Washington as an aid to readers who wish to review the exact language of the statutes.

Types of Public Facilties

Four types of public facilities can be the subject of impact fees: I) public streets and roads; 2) publicly owned parks, open space and recreation facilities; 3)

1 RCW 82.02.050 (2) prohibits impact fees that charge 100% of the cost, but does not specify how much less than 100%, leaving that determination to local governments.

Henderson. June 26. 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 2 . . school facilities; and 4) fire protection facilities (in jurisdictions that are not part of a fire district). RCW 82.02.050(2) and (4), and RCW 82.02.090(7)

Types of Improvements

Impact fees can be spent on "system improvements" (which are typically outside the development), as opposed to "project improvements" (which are typically provided by the developer on-site within the development). RCW 82.02.050(3)(a) and RCW 82.02.090(6) and (9) Benefit to Development Impact fees must be limited to system improvements that are reasonably related to, and which wil benefit new development. RCW 82.02.050(3)(a) and (c). Local governments must establish reasonable service areas (one area, or more than one, as determined to be reasonable by the local government), and local governments must develop impact fee rate categories for various land uses. RCW 82.02.060(6) Proportionate Share

Impact fees cannot exceed the development's proportionate share of system improvements that are reasonably related to the new development. The impact fee amount shall be based on a formula (or other method of calculating the fee) that determines the proportionate share. RCW 82. 02. 050(3)(b) and RCW 82.02.060(1 Reductions ofImpact Fee Amounts

Impact fees rates must be adjusted to account for other revenues that the development pays (if such payments are earmarked for or proratable to particular system improvements). RCW 82.02.050(1)(c) and (2) and RCW 82.02.060(1)(b) Impact fees may be credited for the value of dedicated land, improvements or construction provided by the developer (if such facilities are in the adopted CFP and are required as a condition of development approval). RCW 82.02.060(3) Exemptions from Impact Fees

Local governments have the discretion to provide exemptions from impact fees for low-income housing and other "broad public purpose" development, but all such exemptions must be paid from public funds (other than impact fee accounts). RCW 82.02.060(2)

Henderson. June 26. 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 3 . .

Developer Options

Developers who are liable for impact fees can submit data and or/analysis to demonstrate that the impacts of the proposed development are less than the impacts calculated in this rate study. RCW 82.02.060(5). Developers can pay impact fees under protest and appeal impact fee calculations. RCW 82.02.060(4) and RCW 82.02.070(4) and (5). The developer can obtain a refund of the impact fees if the local government fails to expend the impact fee payments within 6 years, or terminates the impact fee requirement, or the developer does not proceed with the development (and creates no impacts). RCW 82.02.080 Capital Facilties Plans

Impact fees must be expended on public facilities in a capital facilities plan (CFP) element (or used to reimburse the government for the unused capacity of existing facilities). The CFP must conform with the Growth Management Act of 1990, and must identify existing deficiencies in facility capacity for current development, capacity of existing facilities available for new development, and additional facility capacity needed for new development. RCW 82.02.050(4), RCW 82.02.060(7), and RCW 82.02.070(2) New versus Existing Facilties

Impact fees can be charged for new public facilities (RCW 82. 02. 060(1)(a)) and for the unused capacity of existing public facilities (RCW 82.02.060(7)) subject to the proportionate share limitation described above. Accounting Requirements

The local government must separate the impact fees from other monies, expend the money on CFP projects within 6 years, and prepare annual reports of collections and expenditures. RCW 82.02.070(1)-(3)

Responsibilty for Public Facilties

In general, local governments that are authorized to charge impact fees are responsible for specific public facilities for which they may charge such fees. The City of Issaquah is legally and financially responsible for the fire protection facilities it owns and operates within its jurisdiction. The City ofIssaquah is part of the Eastside Fire & Rescue, which was created in 1998 by the consolidation of Issaquah Fire Department and Fire District 10 (which includes the City of

Henderson, June 26, 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 4 . . .

Carnation). It has expanded to also include the cities of North Bend and Sammamish as well as Fire District 38. The impact fee rates for the City of Issaquah are based on the combined operations of the three cities and two fire districts although fire districts cannot charge impact fees according to Washington law. The City of Issaquah, through its consolidation with Eastside Fire & Rescue is the sole provider of fire protection within the City of Issaquah. In addition to fire protection the City of Issaquah provides emergency medical services, and fire code planning, engineering and enforcement to businesses and residences. The apparatus inventory for the Eastside Fire and Rescue consortium includes a headquarters facility plus 15 other stations, and the following primary response apparatus: 6 urban engines, 3 elevated stream apparatus, 4 tenders, I ladder truck, 9 aid vehicles, I rescue vehicle, I battalion vehicle and I air unit. A summary inventory of the primary response units is shown in Table I along with the annual emergency responses the 26 primary response units made. The average annual responses for one of each type of fire and EMS unit is also shown in Table i. The average number of emergency responses per type of unit is calculated by dividing the number of annual emergency runs by the number of units making those runs. In many cases, more than one apparatus is dispatched to an emergency incident. The number and type of apparatus dispatched to each incident varies depending on the type and severity of the incident. ' In addition to the primary response apparatus, the consolidated Eastside Fire & Rescue has 8 reserve apparatus (3 engines, 3 aid vehicles, 1 ladder truck, and I battalion) that are dispatched as needed within the City of Issaquah and the rest of the service area when a primary apparatus is out of service for repairs or maintenance. The reserve apparatus are not routinely dispatched and are excluded from the impact fee analysis because they are not used frequently enough to have a material effect on the cost of providing fire protection facilities. There are also volunteer units (2 urban engines, 3 rural engines and 5 aid vehicles) that bring support units to fires or cover the cities during low resource times. These volunteer units are also excluded from the analysis.

Need for Additional Fire Protection Facilties

The need for fire protection facilties is influenced by a variety of factors, such as response time, call loads, geographical area, topographic and manmade barriers, and standards of the National Fire Protection Association, and the National Commission on the Accreditation of Ambulance Services. For the purpose of quantifying the need for fire and EMS apparatus and stations, this study uses the ratio of apparatus to incidents. As greater growth occurs, more incidents occur, therefore more apparatus and stations are needed to maintain standards. During 2004, the Eastside Fire & Rescue 26 primary response apparatus were dispatched a total of 10,089 times to 7,457 emergency incidents within the

Henderson, June 26. 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 7 . .

City of Issaquah and the balance of the service area (many times the seriousness of an incident requires that more than one unit respond). The analysis and text documenting the ratio of each type of apparatus to fire and EMS incidents are explained in Chapters 2 and 4.

Determining the Benefit of Fire Protection Facilties to Development

The law imposes three tests ofthe benefit provided to development by impact fees: I) proportionate share, 2) reasonably related to need, and 3) reasonably related to expenditure (RCW 80.20.050(3)).

1. Proportionate Share

First, the "proportionate share" requirement means that impact fees can be charged only for the portion of the cost of public facilities that is "reasonably related" to new development. In other words impact fees cannot be charged to pay for the cost of reducing or eliminating deficiencies in existing facilities. Second, there are several important implications of the proportionate share requirement that are not specifically addressed in the law, but which follow directly from the law: . Costs of facilities that will be used by new development and existing users must be apportioned between the two groups in determining the amount of the fee. This can be accomplished in

either of two ways: (1) by allocating the total cost between new and existing users, or (2) calculating the cost per unit (i.e., per call for service) and applying the cost only to new development when calculating impact fees.

. Impact fees that recover the costs of existing unused capacity can be based on the government's actual cost or the replacement cost of the facility in order to account for carrying costs of the government's actual or imputed interest expense. The third aspect of the proportionate share requirement is its relationship to the requirement to provide adjustments and credits to impact fees, where appropriate. These requirements ensure that the amount of the impact fee does not exceed the proportionate share.

Henderson. June 26. 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 8 . .

. The "adjustments" requirement reduces the impact fee to account for past and future payments of other revenues (if such payments are earmarked for or proratable to the system improvements that are needed to serve new growth).

. The "credit" requirement reduces impact fees by the value of dedicated land, improvements or construction provided by the developer (if such facilities are in the adopted CFP and are required as a condition of development approval). The law does not prohibit a local government from establishing reasonable constraints on determining credits. For example, the location of dedicated land and the quality and design of a donated public facility can be required to conform to adopted local standards for such facilities. Without such adjustments and credits, the fee-paying development might pay more than its proportionate share. 2. Reasonably Related to Need There are many ways to fulfill the requirement that impact fees be "reasonably related" to the development's need for public facilities, including personal use and use by others in the family or business enterprise (direct benefit), use by persons or organizations who provide goods or services to the fee-paying property (indirect benefit), and geographical proximity (presumed benefit). These measures of relationship are implemented by the following techniques:

. Impact fees for fire protection are charged to properties that need (i.e., benefit from) new fire protection facilities. Impact fees are charged to properties which benefit from new fire protection services facilities. Fire and EMS facilities are provided by the City of Issaquah to all properties regardless of the type of use of the property, therefore, the fire protection impact fees are charged to all residential and non-residential development of the city of Issaquah. Fire protection impact fee rates are calculated separately for each type ofland use.

. The relative needs of different types of growth are considered in establishing fee amounts (i.e., single family dwelling units versus

multi family dwelling units, and each type of commercial land use: retail, offce, industrialfmanufacturing).

Henderson. June 26. 2006 Young & Review Draft Compony Page 9 . .

. Fee-payers can pay a smaller fee if they can demonstrate that their development wil have less impact than is presumed in the calculation of the impact fee schedule for their classification of property. Such reduced needs must be permanent and enforceable (i.e., through land use restrictions).

. Washington law requires one or more service areas as a way of connecting a unit of development and a fire protection facility. All impact fees paid by new development in the service area would be required to be spent on new fire protection facilities in the same service area. The benefits provided by individual fire protection apparatus are not limited to geographic areas surrounding each station within the City of Issaquah because the apparatus are frequently called upon to assist with an incident in a different area

of the service area when the seriousness of the call suggests a need for additional units or when backup is requested. These response policies make fire protection facilities function as a single system, and all properties benefit from improvements to any part of the system, therefore the fire protection impact fee for each land use category is calculated, collected, and expended in a single service area covering all of the City ofIssaquah. 3. Reasonably Related to Expenditures

Two provisions of the law tend to reinforce the requirement that expenditures be "reasonably related" to the development that paid the impact fee. First, the requirement that fee revenue must be earmarked for specific uses related to public facilities ensures that expenditures are on identifiable projects, the benefit of which can be demonstrated. Second, impact fee revenue must be expended within 6 years, thus requiring a timeliness to the benefit to the fee-payer.

Methodology and Relationship to Capital Facilties Plan

Impact fees for fire protection facilities will be expended on the list of projects in the cities Capital Facilities Plans. The projects in the CFP are analyzed to identify costs attributable to new development. The costs are calculated per unit of capacity of fire protection facility. The costs per unit of capacity are applied to the incident rate of fire and EMS calls per dwellng unit and per non-residential square foot. The amount of the fee is determined by charging each fee-paying development for the number of units of demand that it generates.

Data Sources and Calculation Data Sources

The data in this study of impact fees for fire protection facilities in the City of Issaquah, Washington was provided by either the City ofIssaquah or Eastside Fire & Rescue unless a different source is specifcally cited. Data Rounding

The data in this study was prepared using computer spreadsheet software. In some tables in this study, there wil be very small variations from the results that would be obtained using a calculator to compute the same data. The reason for these insignificant differences is that the spreadsheet software was allowed to calculate results to more places after the decimal than is reported in the tables of these reports. The calculation to extra places after the decimal increases the accuracy of the end results, but causes occasional differences due to rounding of data that appears in this study.

2. CAPITAL COST PER FIRE INCIDENT

This chapter identifies the capital cost of fire protection apparatus and stations that are the basis for emergency responses to fire incidents. Annual Cost Per Apparatus

The first step in calculating the apparatus cost per fire incident is to identify and annualize the cost of each type of apparatus. The capital cost per apparatus is based on the cost of primary response apparatus and major support equipment. The annualized capital cost per apparatus is determined by dividing the capital cost of each type of apparatus by its useful life:

Fire Annual Apparatus Useful Life 0: Cost per Cost Apparatus Table 3 shows the annualized cost for each type of primary apparatus listed in Table I: urban engine, elevated stream, tender, ladder truck, aid vehicle, rescue vehicle, battalion vehicle and an air unit. The cost per apparatus includes the vehicle, fire and EMS equipment, and communication equipment. The apparatus and equipment costs in Table 3 represent current costs to purchase a new fully equipped apparatus. Table 3 also shows the number of years of useful life of each type of apparatus. The annualized cost is calculated by dividing each apparatus cost by the useful life of that apparatus.

Table 3: Annualized Apparatus Cost

Cost Per Apparatus Per Fire or EMS Incident

The capital C(¡st per fire or EMS incident is calculated for each apparatus by dividing the annualized cost per apparatus by the total annual incidents (both fire and EMS) each type of apparatus responds to. Each type of apparatus is analyzed separately because the number and type of apparatus responding to an incident varies depending on the type and severity of the incident.

Annual Cost Annual Apparatus Per Responses Per = Cost Apparatus Apparatus Per Response

In Table 4 the cost per emergency response is calculated for each type of apparatus. Table 4 shows the annualized cost of one of each type of apparatus (from Table 3) and the average annual emergency responses for each type of apparatus (from Table I). Each apparatus cost per response is calculated by dividing the annualized cost of that type of apparatus by the total number of annual responses for the same type of apparatus.

Table 4: Apparatus Cost per Response

Total Apparatus Cost Per Fire Incident The total apparatus cost per fire incident is calculated by multiplying the apparatus cost per response by the percent of fire incidents each type of apparatus responds to. This calculation accounts for the fact that multiple apparatus are

Henderson. June 26. 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 13 . . dispatched to many incidents. The result of this calculation is a weighted average total cost of apparatus per fire incident.

Apparatus Apparatus Total Cost x Percent of = Apparatus Cost Per Per Response Fire Responses Fire Incident The next step in calculating the apparatus cost per fie incident is to identify the annual number of incidents that the entire Eastside Fire & Rescue responds to, Emergency incidents are separated into two categories: Fire and EMS. Table 5 lists the annual number of fire and EMS incidents responded to during 2004.

Table 5: Annual Fire and EMS Incidents

Annual Type of Incident Incidents Fire 1,581 EMS 5.876 Total Annual 7,457 Incidents Different types of fire emergencies need different types or combinations of apparatus. As a result, the usage of apparatus varies among the types of apparatus. This variance is an important factor in determining the cost per incident. The percent of fire responses by each type of apparatus is calculated in Table 6 (on the next page) by dividing the annual fire responses for each type of apparatus by the total annual fire incidents from Table 5. The result of the calculation in Table 6 is the percent of fire incidents responded to by each type of apparatus. For example, urban engines provided 1,472 responses to the 1,581 fire incidents, equaling 93.1% of all fire incidents. Another way to understand this data is that one average fire incident involved 0.931 urban engines, therefore the cost of responding to a fire incident includes 93.1 % of the cost of an urban engine.

The final step in calculating the apparatus cost per fire incident is shown in Table 7. The cost per response for each type of apparatus (from Table 4) is multiplied by the percent of fire incidents dispatched to (from Table 6) resulting in the total apparatus cost per fire incident.

The "bottom line" in Table 7 is the apparatus cost per fire incident of $180.25. In other words, every fire incident "uses up" $180.25 worth of apparatus.

Annual Station Cost

The annual station cost is determined by dividing the station capital cost by its useful life. Station Annual Cost Per Useful Life = Station Cost Square Foot Per Square Foot

Table 8 calculates the average annualized fire station cost per square foot. The cost per square foot is based on the average cost of the most recently constructed station (Station 73 - Highlands). The costs include land, building, furnishings and equipment. Although the land for the Highlands station was donated, the land cost in Table 8 is based on the assessed value of the property because future station sites wil be purchased, or donated sites will be calculated as a credit against the full cost of the station, including the site.

The useful life represents the length of time the station wil last before requiring significant capital cost for repair or renovation. The annualized cost is calculated by dividing the estimated cost per square foot by the average useful life. The "bottom line" of Table 8 is an annualized station cost of $ 7.17 per square foot.

Table 8: Annualized Station Cost Per Square Foot

Average Cost per Square Foot Type Of Cost of Building Land $ 78.70 Building, Furnishings & Equipment 280.04 Total Cost $ 358.74 Useful Life (years) 50 Annual Cost per Square Foot $ 7.17

Henderson, June 26. 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 16 . .

Station Cost Per Fire and EMS Incident

The station cost per fire and EMS incident is calculated by multiplying the annual station cost per square foot by the station square feet per fire and EMS incident.

Annual Station Station Station Cost x Square Feet = Cost Per Per Square Foot Per Fire and Fire and EMS EMS Incident Incident

This calculation is shown in Table 9: the station cost per square foot (from Table 8) is multiplied times the station square feet per incident (from Table 2). The result is the station cost of $ 96.25 per fie and EMS incident. In other words, each fire and EMS incident "uses up" $96.25 worth of fire station.

3. ANNUAL COST OF FIRE INCIDENTS BY LAND USE

This chapter identifies the number and cost of responses to fire incidents at each type ofland use. Annual Fire Incident Rate Per Unit Of Development

The annual fire incident rate per unit of development (i.e., dwelling unit or square foot of non-residential development) is calculated by dividing the total annual fire incidents to each type of land use by the number of dwelling units or square feet of non-residential development for that type of land use. As noted earlier in the study, the analysis is based on the entire Eastside Fire & Rescue service area rather than just within the City of Issaquah. Annual Number of Annual Emergency Fire Dwelling Units Fire Incidents Incidents or Square Feet = Per

at Each Type of Each Tye Unit of

of Land Use of Land Use Development The data set for this analysis comes from the Eastside Fire & Rescue Fire Report Management system database. The rate study assumes that the City of Issaquah's incidents are proportionately the same as for the entire Eastside Fire & Rescue service area. The database identifies each incident by occupancy type such as 1.2 family dwellings, offce or movie theater. The land use categories in this study were created by combining the numerous occupancy types into broad land use categories for impact fees, such as Single Family/Duplex, Retail and Industriallanufacturing. During 2004, the entire Eastside Fire & Rescue responded to 1,581 fire incidents. Of the 1,581 fire incidents, 1,438 were traceable to a type of development (i.e., the incident occurred at a specific property address, such as a residence or business) or they were traffc-related (occurred on a roadway). Of the 1,438 fire incidents analyzed, 1,254 occurred at a specific property and 184 were traffc- related. The records for the remaining 143 fire incidents did not allow the incident to be traced to either a specific land use or a traffic-related incident, therefore these 143 incidents are apportioned to land uses and traffc on the same basis as the 1,438 incidents that are traceable. Table 10 (on the next page) shows the allocation of the 143 incidents without land use designations to the property and traffc

Henderson. June 26, 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 18 . .

categories using the same basis as the 1,438 incidents for which a location was identifiable. Thus 125 of the 143 fire incidents were allocated the same as the incidents at identifiable lands uses, and the other 18 fire incidents were allocated the same as the traffic-related incidents.

Table 10: Fire Incidents

There are four tables on the following pages that present the allocation of fire incidents among types of land use: Table 11 shows the fire incidents that were identifiable by land use type, Table 12 shows the fire incidents that were traffc- related. Table 13 combines the fire incident data (land use and traffc), and Table 14 shows the fire incident rate per unit of development.

Table 11 shows the distribution of the 1,254 fie incidents that are traceable to a land use along with the percent distribution of these 1,254 incidents. In the right hand column the total 1,379 fire incidents to land use (1,254 traceable + 125 allocated) is allocated among the land use types using the percent distribution column. The result is the total annual fie incidents at each of the land use types.

Total 1,254 1,379

The traffic-related fire incidents are allocated to land uses on the basis of the amount of traffic generated by each type of land use. In Table 12, the number of dwelling units and square feet of non-residential construction in the total Eastside Fire & Rescue service area is multiplied times the number of trips that are generated by each land use type as reported in the 7th Edition of TriD Generation by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). (The trip rates in are one-half of ITE's trip rates in order to account for the trips each land use generates while excluding the "return" trip). The result is the total trips associated with each land use type. The percent of trips associated with each land use type is calculated from the total of all trips.

In the final calculation in Table 12 the total 202 annual fire incidents that are traffic-related (184 traceable + 18 allocated) is allocated among the land use types using the percent of trips generated.

The final step in determining the annual fire incident rate per unit of development is shown in Table 14. The total annual fire incidents for each type of land use (from Table 13) are divided by the number of dwelling units or square feet of structures to calculate the annual incident rate per dwelling unit or square foot. The units of development are the same as was used to determine traffic-related incidents (see Table 12).

The results in Table 14 show how many times an average unit of development has a fire incident to which the City of Issaquah responds. For example, a single family/duplex has an average of 0.0195896 fire-related incidents per year. This is the same as saying that 1.9% of single family/duplexes havea fire-related incident in a year. Another way of understanding this information is that an average single family/duplex would have a fie-related incident once every 51 years.

Fire Incident Capital Cost Per Unit Of Development The capital cost of fire incidents per unit of development is determined by multiplying the annual fie incidents per unit of development (from Table 14) times the annual capital cost per fire incident of each type of apparatus (from Table 7) and fire station (from Table 9), then multiplying that result times the useful life of the apparatus or fire station.'

Annual Fire Annual Cost Useful Fire Incident Incidents Per x Per Fire x Life Of Capital Cost Unit Of Incident Apparatus Per Unit Of Development or Station Development In Tables 15 - 22 on the following pages, each fire incident rate (from Table 14) is multiplied by the annual capital cost per fire incident. The result is then multiplied times the useful life of the apparatus or station to calculate the capital cost per unit of development for each type of apparatus and station. For example, Single FamilylDuplex dwelling units average 0.0195896 fie incidents per year (i.e., 1.9% of a fie incident per year). In Table 15, multiplying this incident rate times the annual capital cost of urban engines ($69.47) per incident indicates a cost of $1.3608 per dwelling unit to provide it with urban engines for one year. Since an urban engine lasts 15 years, the residential dwelling needs to pay for 15 times the annual rate, for a total of $20.4121 Tables 15 - 22 do not include a calculation for a rescue vehicle because, as shown in Table 7, the apparatus cost per fie incident for a rescue vehicle is zero.

, Some fire impact fees are calculated for the economic life of the property paying the impact fee, rather than the useful life of the apparatus and stations that provide the fire protection. Both methods meet the legal requirements for impact fees. The method used in this rate study charges impact fees for the first of each type of apparatus and station needed for new development, but subsequent replacements of apparatus and stations are funded by other revenues available to the City ofIssaquah.

4. CAPITAL COST PER EMS INCIDENT

This chapter identifies the capital cost of apparatus and stations that are the basis for emergency responses to EMS incidents. Annual Cost Per Apparatus

The annual cost per type of apparatus is the same as in Table 3.

Cost Per Apparatus Per Fire or EMS Incident

The cost per apparatus per fire or EMS incident is the same as Table 4.

Total Apparatus Cost Per EMS Incident The calculation of apparatus cost per EMS incident is similar to the calculation of fire costs in Table 7. The total apparatus cost per EMS incident is calculated by multiplying the cost per apparatus per response by the percent of EMS incidents each type of apparatus responds to. This calculation accounts for the fact that multiple apparatus are dispatched to many incidents. The result of this calculation is a weighted average total cost of apparatus per EMS incident.

Apparatus Cost Apparatus Total Per x Percent of = Apparatus Cost Per Response EMS EMS Responses Incident Different types of EMS emergencies need different types or combinations of apparatus. As a result, the usage of apparatus varies among the types of apparatus. This variance is an important factor in determining the cost per incident. The percent of EMS responses by each type of apparatus is calculated in Table 24 by dividing the annual EMS responses for each type of apparatus by the total annual EMS incidents from Table 5. The result of the calculation in Table 24 is the percent of EMS incidents responded to by each type of apparatus. For example, urban engines provided 1,054 responses to the 5,876 EMS incidents, equaling 17.9% of all EMS incidents. Another way to understand this data is that one average EMS

Henderson. June 26, 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 34 . .

incident involved 0.179 urban engines therefore the cost of responding to an EMS incident includes 17.9% of the cost of an urban engine.

Table 24: EMS Incident Response By Type of Apparatus

The final step in calculating the apparatus cost per EMS incident is shown in Table 25. The cost per response for each type of apparatus (from Table 4) is multiplied by the percent of EMS incidents dispatched to (from Table 24) resulting in the total apparatus cost per EMS incident. The "bottom line" in Table 25 is the apparatus cost per EMS incident of $63.40. In other words, every EMS incident "uses up" $63.40 worth of apparatus.

5. ANNUAL COST OF EMS INCIDENTS BY LAND USE

This chapter identifies the number and cost of responses to EMS incidents at each type of land use.

Annual EMS Incident Rate Per Unit Of Development

In this chapter the annual EMS incident rate per unit of development is calculated using the same methodology as described for fire incidents in Chapter 3. The rate study assumes that the City ofIssaquah's incidents are proportionately the same as for the entire Eastside Fire & Rescue service area, During 2004, the entire Eastside Fire & Rescue responded to 5,876 EMS incidents. Of the 5,876 EMS incidents 5,543 were traceable to a type of development (i.e., the incident occurred at a specific type of property such as a residence or business) or they were traffc-related (occurred on a roadway) and were included in the following detailed analysis of incidents to land uses. Of the 5,543 EMS incidents analyzed 4,831 occurred at a specific property and 712 were traffc- related. The remaining 333 EMS incidents were not traceable to either a specific property or a traffc-related incident, therefore these 333 are apportioned to land uses and traffc on the same basis as the 5,543 incidents that are traceable. Table 26 shows the allocation of the 333 incidents without land use designations to the property and traffc categories using the same basis as the 5,543 incidents for which a location was identifiable. Thus 290 of the 333 EMS incidents were allocated the same as the incidents at identifiable lands uses, and the other 43 EMS incidents were allocated the same as the traffic-related incidents.

There are four tables that present the allocation of EMS incidents among types ofland use: Table 27 shows the EMS incidents that were identifiable by land use type, Table 28 shows the EMS incidents that were traffc-related. Table 29 combines the EMS incident data (land use and traffic), and Table 30 shows the EMS incident rate per unit of development. Table 27 shows the distribution of the 4,831 EMS incidents that are traceable to a land use along with the percent distribution of these 4,831 incidents.

In the right hand column the total 5,121 EMS incidents to land use (4,831 traceable + 290 allocated) is allocated among the land use types using the percent distribution column. The result is the total annual EMS incidents at each of the land use types.

The traffic-related EMS incidents are allocated to land uses on the basis of the amount of traffc generated by each type of land use. In Table 28, the number of dwelling units and square feet of non-residential construction in the total Eastside Fire & Rescue service area is multiplied times the number of trips that are generated by each land use type in the same manner as Table 12. The result is the total trips associated with each land use type. The percent of trips associated with each land use type is calculated from the total of all trips. In the final calculation in Table 28 the total 755 annual EMS incidents that are traffic-related (712 traceable + 43 allocated) is allocated among the land use types using the percent of trips generated.

The final step in determining the annual EMS incident rate per unit of development is shown in Table 30. The total annual EMS incidents for each type of land use (from Table 29) are divided by the number of dwelling units or square feet of structures to calculate the annual EMS incident rate per dwellng unit or square foot. The units of development are the same as was used to determine traffc- related incidents (see Table 28). The results in Table 30 show how many times an average unit of development has an EMS incident to which the City of Issaquah responds. For example, a residential dwelling unit has an average of 0.0971838 EMS incidents per year. This is the same as saying that 9.7% of all residential dwellings have an EMS incident in a year. Another way of understanding this information is that an average residential dwelling unit would have an EMS incident once every 10.3 years.

~ EMS Incident Capital Cost Per Unit Of Development

The capital cost of EMS incidents per unit of development is determined by multiplying the annual EMS incidents per unit of development (from Table 30) times the annual capital cost per EMS incident of each type of apparatus (from Table 25) and fire station (from Table 9), then multiplying that result times the useful life of the apparatus or fire station.'

, Some fire and EMS impact fees are calculated for the economic life of the property paying the impact fee, rather than the useful life of the apparatus and stations that provide the fire and EMS services. Both methods meet the legal requirements for impact fees. The method used in this rate study charges impact fees for the first of each type of apparatus and station needed for new development, but subsequent replacements of apparatus and stations are funded by other revenues available to the City of Issaquah.

Annual EMS Annual Cost Useful EMS Incident Incidents Per x Per EMS x Life Of = Capital Cost Unit Of Incident Apparatus Per Unit Of Development or Station Development In Tables 31 - 37 on the following pages, each EMS incident rate (from Table 30) is multiplied by the annual capital cost per EMS incident. The result is then multiplied times the useful life of the apparatus or station to calculate the capital cost per unit of development for each type of apparatus and station. This series of tables does not include the cost for a tender or air unit because, as shown in Table 25, the apparatus cost per EMS incident for these two types of apparatus is zero.

Table 31 calculates the EMS related capital costs of an urban engine per unit of development. For example, residential dwelling units average 0.0971838 EMS incidents per year (i.e., 9.7% of an EMS incident per year). Multiplying this times the annual capital cost of $13.38 per incident produces the result that it costs $1.3006 per dwelling unit to provide it with urban engines for one year. Since the urban engine lasts 15 years, the residential dwelling needs to pay for 15 times the annual rate, for a total of $19.5093.

6. IMPACT FEE PER UNIT OF DEVELOPMENT

In this chapter the fie and EMS cost per unit of development (from Chapters 3 and 5) are used to calculate the total fire services facilities cost per unit of development. This chapter also addresses the adjustment for payments of other revenues. The revenue credits are subtracted from the total fire services facilities cost per unit of development and the result is the fire impact fee rates for the City of Issaquah,

Fire and EMS Cost Per Unit Of Development

The fire and EMS cost per unit of development (from Chapters 3 and 5) are combined to determine the total fire and EMS cost per dwelling unit or non- residential square foot.

Adiustments (Revenue Credits) and Impact Fees

The final step in determining the fire services impact fee is to reduce the cost per dwelling unit or non-residential square foot by subtracting any credits for other revenue from existing and new development that the City of Issaquah wil use to pay for part of the cost of the same fire services facilities that are the basis of the impact fee.

Fire and EMS Adjustment Impact Fee Cost Per For Revenue Per Unit of Credits = U nit Of Development Development

New development will be given an adjustment for future payments of other revenues that are used to pay for the same new fire services facilities that are required to serve the new development.

Adjustments are not given for other payments that are not used for new fire services facilities needed for new development. Such an adjustment would extend to payments of all taxes for all purposes to all forms of governments, which contradicts the well-established system of restricting fees, charges, and many taxes for specific public facilities and services'. Adjustments are not given for revenues that are used for repair, maintenance or operating costs because impact fees are not used for such expenses.

The only revenue sources to be included in the adjustment are those which are used for fire services facilities capacity expansion according to law and local policy or practice. The revenue credit adjustment of fire and EMS facilities costs is a "policy based credit" that is determined by calculating the cost to provide fire and EMS

facilities to new development and determining what portion of that cost to serve new development will be paid by the City ofIssaquah as a matter of policy.

4 An example of this principle is found in the impact fee statutes for the State of Washington. In the following statute, a "system improvement" is a capital improvement that can be financed by impact fees. RCW 82.02.060(1)(b) requires an adjustment for revenue credits to be given for "..payments made or reasonably anticipated to be made by new development to pay for particular system improvements in the form of user fees. debt service payments, taxes. or other payments earmarkedfor or proratable to the particular system ìmprovemeni (emphasis added):"

Henderson. June 26. 2006 Young & Review Draft Company Page 54 .~ " .,. . .

The impact fee is based on the assumption that the City of Issaquah wil use other money to pay for 10% of growth's costs. The City of Issaquah wil use other money to pay for all capital costs of fire services facilities that are not eligible for impact fees, such as replacement or renovation of existing stations and apparatus and 10% of the cost of fire services capital facilities needed to serve new development. As a result, the impact fee rate is calculated by reducing the fie and EMS facilities cost per dwelling unit and non-residential square foot by 10%. Table 40 shows the cost per dwelling unit or non-residential square foot from Table 39, the 10% revenue credit adjustment, and the impact fee after the credit is subtracted from the full cost.
