The City of Santa Rosa had established a citywide Capital Facilities Fee in order to ensure that new development in the City paid its fair share of general infrastructure and other costs incurred by the City in connection with development throughout the City. The City required the services of a consultant to update the fees and covered projects for its Capital Facilities Fee program since the program had last been examined by EPS, in 1997. EPS was hired to review the Capital Facilities Fee program, examining fee levels, covered projects and their costs, the linkage between the fees imposed and the projects included in the program, and the administration of the program. As a result of the EPS analysis, the City of Santa Rosa was able to update its fee program, which increased projected fee revenue and added vital infrastructure projects to the capital improvement program.
