WHEREAS, The City Commission of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, finds it in the public interest to provide an interim service fee; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I - Short title. this Ordinance shall be known and may be cited as the "Interim Services Fee". SECTION II - A new Article XI, Chapter 6 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, is hereby adopted and reads as follows: Article XI. Interim Services Fee Sec. 6-250. Authority The City has the authority to adopt this Ordinance pursuant to Article VIII of the Constitution of the State of Florida, Chapter 166, Florida Statutes. Sec. 6-251. Findings and Determinations It is hereby found, determined and declared as follows: (1) The costs of providing the specified municipal services (as defined herein) exceed the fees charged for such services and consequently those costs are borne in large part through ad valorem taxation. (2) From the time a new structure is compl eted and occupied unti I the structure is included on the ad valorem tax rolls as of the ensuing January 1, the City provides the specified municipal services and other direct services for which it receives no compensation. (3) The demand for additional municipal services lncreases with the development of real property located in the City and the subsequent occupancy of structures located thereon and the existing fiscal structure of the City is insufficient to meet the ever increasing demands for municipal services imposed upon the City by such new development. 1 (4) The implementation of an interim services fee to defray the costs to the City of providing the specified municipal services to newly improved property prior to the imposition of ad valorem taxes on such improvements is in the best interests of the citizens and residents of the City of Winter Springs and reflects the City's desire for fiscal management. (5) The interim services fee imposed by this Chapter is not in any manner, directly or indirectly, intended as an ad valorem tax, nor is the amount of the fee established herein related in any way to the valuation of the property receiving the specified municipal services. Sec. 6-252. Definitions. The following words when used herein shall have the meanings indicated, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: "Owner" shall mean the person or legal entity reflected in the public records of Seminole County, Florida, as the fee simple title holder of real property upon which a structure has been completed. "Specified municipal services" shall mean and be limited to the following municipal services provided by the City: public safety, code enforcement, engineering, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and building maintenance (excluding building maintenance on general services functions) . "Structure" shall mean any building or improvements constructed upon real property located within the corporate limits of the City for which a certificate of occupancy is required, either permanent or temporary, for the full or partial use thereof. Sec. 6-253. Establishment of Interim Services Fee. Except as set forth in Sec. 6-255 hereof, an interim services fee lS hereby imposed upon every structure located within the City fram the date of issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such structure through December 31 of that year. Section. 6-254. Calculation of Interim Services Fee. (a) The fee schedule shall be based upon the cost of providing the specified municipal services to the structures subject to the interim services fee fram the date of issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy through December 31, of that year, less anticipated franchise fees, utility taxes, fines and forfeitures, charges for services and other revenues fram user- based fees. The initial interim services fees and all changes thereto shall be by separate Resolution passed by the City Commission. Fee schedule shall 2 be reviewed annually be the City Commission to make such revisions as are consistent with the findings and determinations set forth in Section 6-251 hereof and the uses of the interim services fees set forth ln Section 6-258 hereof. (b) Notwithstanding the fee schedule set forth in Sec. 6-254(a), the minimum interim services fee charged shall be Ten Dollars ($10.00). (c) The interim services fee for residential structures shall be calculated on a per dwelling unit basis. The interim services fee for new hotel and motel structures shall be calculated on a per roam basis. The interim services fee for all non-residential structures shall be calculated on the basis of a cost per one thousand (1,000) gross square feet or gross leasable square feet, or portion thereof. (d) The building official shall be responsible for calculating the applicable interim services fee and determining the fee category into which a structure should be placed. If a structure does not clearly fit into a fee category set forth in Sec. 6-254(a) then the building official shall place such structure in the fee category which he deems to be the most consistent with the purposes of this Chapter. Sec. 6-255. Exemptions. The interim services fees shall not be imposed upon: (1) structures requiring a certificate of occupancy solely for change of use of said structure. (2) Remodeling or additions to structures (such as swimming pools and fences) which do not result in a net increase in gross square footage. (3) Maintenance and repairs. (4) Any structure owned by governmental units and used for governmental purposes, or governmentally owned structures which are leased to an organization which uses the structure solely for tax-exempt purposes.

The building official shall be charged with the responsibility for collection of the interim services fees. Upon request for a certificate of occupancy, the building official shall issue a statement of the interim services fee due and payable for the 3 structure in question. Such fee statement shall be presented to the owner of the real property on which such structure is located and shall be collected by the building official prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. In the event a person other than the owner pays the interim services fee, then the owner shall be discharged from all further obligatiorili here-under to the City and the person paying such interim services fee on behalf of the owner shall not subsequently be entitled to a refund thereof.

KULBES, MAYOR ATTEST: Mary t. Norton CITY CLERK First Reading August 10, 1992 Posted August 14, 1992 Second Reading and Public Hearing September 14, 1992 5 MEMO: 5/28/92 TO: CITY MANAGER FROM: BUILDING OFFICIAL RE: EXPECTED INTERIM SERVICE FEE REVENUE Presently we have 58 new houses under construction and these should be completed at a rate of 8 per month. Our estimate for next year is 16 new starts per month and normal time for completion is 6-8 months. Assuming this Ordinance could be in effect by August 1, 1992, we should realize approximately $15,000 on this by the end 01 next fiscal year. This is no huge amount I realize, but these are bleak times and if construction should pick up to normal, this could double. It is that much we would not have otherwise. RECEIVED MAY 29, 1992 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS CITY MANAGER INTRODUCTION This study of Interim Service Fees for the City of Winter Springs presents the methodology utilized to develop the fees, summarizes the data incorporated as the basis for the fees, and describes the calculation of the fees. Sound fiscal management is the key not only in a city where growth is continual but most especially where growth is rapid and where such changes in population create an even more rapidly urbanizing community with sharp increases in the costs of providing services. The Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan requires that the public facilities and services needed to support development must be in place concurrent with the impact of the development. The adopted ordinances and accompanying studies for the various impact fees have established levels of service even in areas not covered by the comprehensive planning process. These fees are only for the necessary capital improvements and do not provide a mechanism for paying the increased operating costs. The logic behind the adoption of an interim services fee is to collect funds to pay for services provided to development not yet on the tax rolls and not fully paying for services. December 31 of a given year is the deadline for adding improved properties to that year's tax roll. Since ad valorem taxes are paid in arrears, it can be as much as a year before property values increase and an additional ten months before any payment is made. There is, however, the immediate increased demand for police, fire, public works, code enforcement, and recreation services. The existing fiscal capacity is insufficient to meet this ever increasing demand. This fee is proposed to meet the demand for operating expenditures for services. To satisfy legal criteria, the fee is designed with a direct link between the payment of the fee and the benefit received. The costs for the services are clearly identified. The funds collected from the interim services fee are to be placed in a special fund and are not to be included in the general revenue fund. The fee is to be charged at the time of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy (C.O.) and the amount of the fee is discounted by time of payment. The fee is discounted because the City is collecting the fee before the services are actually provided and thus will be holding money in advance of expenditures. Interim services fees are currently being charged by five other municipalities. These are City of Miami, City of Largo, City of Ocoee, Orlando, and City of Oakland Park. Their methodologies are different in approach as well as complexity. Much of this study is a replication of the Oakland Park methodology as its current ordinance is based upon court rulings against Oakland Park's original ordinances. Within the judgement against Oakland Park, guidelines for the development of these fees were set. 1 In ruling against the city of Oakland Park, the court stated that the City did not: * show need for service or improvements; * establish a definitive plan for the improvements; * establish a relationship between need and cost; * earmark expenditures to benefit the payees; * provide for a refund agreement; nor * provide for a time frame of expenditure of fees. Under the initial ordinance passed by the City, Ordiilance 0-84-3, the Court ruled that the fees were instead taxes because: * they were based on the value of new construction; * the basis for the fees were not shown to offset needs due to growth; * the funds were not earmarked but placed in the general fund; and * the fees were not uniformly imposed, i.e., the same properties that were exempted fram the interim services fee were also exempted fram ad valorem taxation. Under the second ordinance passed by the City, Ordinance 0-86-6, the court ruled that the fees were instead taxes because: * the basis of the fees were not shown to offset needs fram growth; * the funds were not sufficiently earmarked; * the tax class was without adequate remedy; and * the fees were not uniformly imposed, i.e., the same properties that were exempt fram the interim services fee were also exempt fram ad valorem taxation. The review of the legal issues regarding the concept of an interim services fee indicates that such a fee could be implemented if it ;s directly linked to the cost of service and the benefit to the payer can be shown. The recommended interim services fee is therefore to be applied to those improved properties which have been identified as generating expenditures for services for which there are inadequate offsetting revenues. As noted previously, interim services fees are separate and distinct fram impact fees for capital facilities. However, the criteria for impact fees for capital facilities, established by the courts through the years, is extremely useful for the establishment of an interim 2 services fees model. The development of impact fees must meet three tests: (1) Fair share rule (who pays and how much); (2) Nexus of benefit rule (where and how the fee can be used); (3) Credit rule (appropriate reduction against the fee). The fair share rule provides that fees can be charged only for the portion of the cost that is attributable to new growth. These fees cannot be charged to pay for the cost of reducing or eliminating deficiencies in existing facilities. Within this broad rule, specific guidance is given in several areas: it is permitted to distinguish among different types of growth in establishing fee amounts (i.e., residential, non-residential, etc.); fee-payers should be able to pay a smaller fee if they can demonstrate that their development will have less impact than is presumed in the fee schedule; costs of facilities that will be used by new growth and existing users must be apportioned between the two groups in determining the amount of the fee. The nexus of benefit rules require the government to show a reasonable connection (1) between the need for public facilities and the growth from the fee-paying develoment, and (2) between the expenditure of fee revenue and the benefits received by the fee-paying develo~nt. These two conditions limit where and when fees can be collected and used. Where possible, there should be a geographical relationship, but there is not specific limit on the distance between a fee-paying development and a public facility. Furthermore, the fee revenue must be expended within a reasonable period of time, but there is no single maximum limit that applies to all fee expenditures. Explicit limitations on the expenditures of fees must be adequate to guide government personnel, and fee revenue must be earmarked for specific uses. The credit rules allow a fee-payer to have fees reduced to reflect (1) contributions that meet the same need as the fee, and (2) future payments of taxes that would ordinarily be used for public facilities. The court cases and legislation do not prohibit the credits. In particular, the government should require that the quality of a donation should conform to adopted standards, or at the least be comparable to similar City Facilities. The government should also require a rational nexus or benefit between a contribution and the fee- paying property which receives a credit. Finally, the amount of any credit should not exceed the amount of the fee that is being offset by the credit. Utilizing these criteria, the interim services fee for the city will be based on the following: (1) Based upon actual expenditures for service provision related directly to population and type of land uses, not on value of property or improvements; 3 (2) Based upon the specific identifiable municipal service needs created by improvements, not including general government service expenditures or capital facilities need; (3) Charged to all improved properties which receive City services where offsetting revenues are inadequate; (4) Credited for future payments of other revenue sources such as franchise fees, utility taxes, charges for services, fines and forfeitures, sales taxes, and other revenues from user-based fees; (5) Credited for those improved properties which are evaluated as not having created an expanditure shortfall as a result of service provision; (6) Deposited into a special fund, not in the general fund. 4 METHODOLOGY In establishing the fees (1) actual service expenses, (2) the current methods of payment, and, (3) the proportion of services demanded by residential vs non-residential were analyzed. The cost of serving existing developed properties is used as the basis for determining the fee that future development will be assessed. The term "interim" is used because the fee is to be charged for the period of time when an improved property is creating expenditures for services but not fully paying for those services. When an improved property becomes a user of City services, the City realizes an increased demand for expenditures. Generally, this occurs when the improved property is occupied, or shortly after the time a certificate of occupancy is issued. Expenses accrued by the provision of services exceed the amount of revenues collected frum property which is still being taxed at its unimproved or vacant land value. What is identified here is the discounted amount that would be appropriate to charge for services until such time as the excess expenditures no longer exist. The interim fee is based on actual proportional expenditures for services for residential and non-residential categories. The cost of providing general government services is excluded as are the costs of capital facilities and costs supported by enterprise operations. Only the proportional share of expenditures that are not met through other forms of payment are calculated. Table 1 represents the general fund over the last five years as well as the estimated revenues for fiscal year 1992. The services which are included in the calculation of the interim services fee are police, fire, public works (excluding building maintenance), code enforcement, and recreation services. Table 2 shows the costs of these services over the last five years as well as the requested budget for fiscal year 1992. Table 3 indicated the services as they have been demanded in the past by residential and non-residential actual calls for service or usages. Calls for service exclude mutual aid, accidents, or false alarms; calls for code enforcement include all calls whether the problems were resolved by an inspector's visit or through the Code Enforcement Board. Since non-residential land uses do not directly create demand for parks and recreational services, these expenditures were only assigned to residential. Public Works has been divided by the proportion of the City acreage in each category. 5 TABLE 1 GENERAL FUND REVENUES FY 86-87 THRU 91-92 YEAR PROPERTY TAX OTHER REVENUE SOURCES TOTALS* 86-87 577,613 21% 2,125,472 79% 2,703,085 87-88 653,787 21% 2,406,978 79% 3,060,765 88-89 879,832 24% 2,744,401 76% 3,624,?33 89-90 1,548,680 34% 2,965,762 66% 4,514,442 90-91 2,072,591 41% 3,014,091 59% 5,086,682 91-92 2,298,186 41% 3,278,902 59% 5,577,088 * EXCLUDES FUND BALANCE ,. 6 TABLE 2 (continued) PUBLIC WORKS PERSONAL YEAR SERVICES OPERATING TOTAL 86-87 325,033 249,540 574,573 87-88 338,308 218,740 557,048 88-89 380,947 252,760 633,707 89-90 440,641 251 ,660 692,301 90-91 504,287 275,160 779,447 91-92 561,890 319,860 881,750 RECREATION PERSONAL YEAR SERVICES OPERATING TOTAL 86-87 40,460 18,970 59,430 87-88 43,155 21,775 64,930 88-89 52,353 33,875 86,228 89-90 83,875 36,390 120,265 90-91 103,134 33,140 136,274 91-92 224,843 161,528 386,371 " 8 DEPARTMENT Police Fire/Paramedics Public Works Recreation TABLE 3 CALLS FOR SERVICE BY LAND USE CATEGORY RESIDENTIAL 70% 79% 80% 100% NON-RESIDENTIAL 30% 21% 20% -0- 9 As an example of how service demand increases wich the increase in population, Table 4 has been developed. Excluding mutual aid, accidents, or false alarms, there has been a 19% increase in Fire/EMS calls for service during the first six months of 1991 over the same time period in 1990. These are tabulations of calls within the city limits only. Because of move-ups, the City remains covered even when a unit has been called out. Levels of services included within the following calculation of interim services fees and listed previously with corresponding budgets require not only the capital expenditures for the necessary equipment but also personnel to handle the additional demand. The annual review in each of the respective impact fees require analysis of the need, areas of demand, and the relationship of capital capacities/facilities to continuing service levels. Operating costs must increase also to maintain capital requirements and these levels of services. While Code Enforcement does not have a corresponding impact fee, it does offer a service in helping to maintain public health safety, and welfare to a growing community. 10 TABLE 4 FIRE CALLS JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER 1990 continued WINTER SPRINGS FIRE DEPARTMENT 1990 EMS CALLS JAN.

Residential includes 1990 census total housing units plus Certificates of Occupancy since April 1, 1990. The designated proportion of the Fiscal Year 1992 budget of each service has been figured for a total cost of residential services. Credits for other revenue sources are applied. Since services fee payment is in advance of services, a discount of 4.5% has been figured. Non-residential begins with the gross square footage so delineated on the current property rolls. This total will be the Fiscal year 1992 tax base and, as such, represents the present demand for services. All other processes are the same as that utilized in the residential calculations. 13 CALCULATION OF FEES RESIDENTIAL Number of Residential Units Police Services @ 70% Fire Services @ 79% Paramedics @ 79% Public Works @ 80% Recreation @ 100% Total Expenditures Credit for 59% non-ad valorem Net Expenditures Cost of Services Per Unit Discount for Payment @ 4.5% 8,705 1,257,047 870,733 215,799 705,400 386,371 3,435,350 2,026,856 1,408,494 $ 161.80 $ 154.52 14 CALCULATION OF FEES NON-RESIDENTIAL Total Square Footage 1,880,590 Police Services @ 30% 538, 735 Fire Services @ 21% 231,461 Net Expenditures for Service 57,364 176,350 1,003,910 592,306 411,604 Paramedics @ 21% Public Works @ 20% Total Expenditures Credit for 59% Non-ad valorem Cost of Services per 1,000 square foot Discount for Payment @ 4.5% $ 218.87 $ 209.02 15 RESULTS Table 5 lists the suggested fee schedule for collection of the interim services fees. The fees are calculated based upon the categories: residential and non-residential. Because hotel/motel is a land use that may be argued to be in either of these two separate and distinct categories, it is recommended that hotel/motel be charged by the residential calculation but adjusted by the average local occupancy rate of 74.7%. Its transient characteristic allows such treatment. Fees vary by month and are to be collected at the time of issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Since payment is in advance of services, the fee has been discounted based upon the short term rate the City would earn from short term investments. The average cost for residential is $83.69 for non-residential, it is $113.20; and hotel/motel average is $62.55. It is recommended that a minimum fee of $10.00 be established. 16 TABLE 5 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERIM SERVICES FEE SCHEDULE MONTH C.O.
