§159.03 POLICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEM IMPACT FEES
OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
WHEREAS, the protection of the health, safety, and general welfare of the
citizens of Fayetteville require that the Fayetteville Police and Public Safety System as a
Public Facility of the City be expanded and improved to meet the demands of new
development; and
WHEREAS, the creation of an equitable development impact fee system would
enable the City to generate revenue for funding or for recouping the costs of required
Police and Public Safety System capacity improvements that those developments create;
and
WHEREAS the City has comprehensively studied the future needs of its citizens
and what the City needs to do to meet those needs and adopted a Comprehensive General
Plan, the 2020 Plan. The City also annually updates its Capital Improvement Projects list
of future necessary capital improvements for all city services including police and public
safety; and
WHEREAS, the City commissioned an in-depth Police and Public Safety Impact

WHEREAS, the Police and Public Safety System Impact Fee Study sets forth
reasonable methodologies and analyses for determining the impacts of various types of
development on the City's need for additional police and public safety department
capacity and facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Police and Public System Impact Fees described in this
Ordinance are based on the Impact Fee Study, and are designated to generate revenue for
funding or for recouping expenditures by the City of Fayetteville that are reasonably
attributable to the use and occupancy of the new developments that will pay the fees; and
WHEREAS, the Police and Public Safety System Facilities constitute an
interrelated system that provides service throughout Fayetteville, and it is therefore
appropriate and proper to treat the entire city as a single service area; and
WHEREAS, there is both a rational nexus and a rough proportionality between
the development impacts created by each type of new development covered by this
Ordinance and the impact fees that such development will be required to pay; and

EXHIBIT
POLICE
The Fayetteville Police Department consists of over 150 sworn and civilian members_ The department
operates programs such as School Resource Officers, Crime Prevention and Neighborhood Policing.
Officers in the department work a number of different patrols using automobiles, motorcycles and
bicycles. The department's K-9 Division is comprised of three K-9 teams, whish are assign ed.to patrol
shifts and assist in the normal day-to-day patrol operations. The Fayetteville City )ail is planned to be
closed, and will not be included in the police impact fee calculations.
Service Area
Fayetteville's police facilities constitute an interrelated system that provides service throughout the City's
jurisdiction. Consequently, the entire city is appropriately defined as a single service area.
Service Unit
As with the fire impact fees, the service unit for the police impact fees will be "functional population"
as described in Appendix B. Itis reasonable to assume that the demand for police facilities is at least
roughly proportional to the presence of people at the site of a land use. Itis also reasonable to
recognize that residential and nonresidential land uses may place somewhat different demands on police
facilities. Different police protection costswill be developed for residential and nonresidential
development based on calls-for-service- In 2003, the Fayetteville Police Department received a total .
of 48,100 calls-for-service (excluding road-related calls). Table 34 below shows the distribution of
calls-for-service by land use type for 2003.

Cost per Service Unit
Police impact fees are designed to charge new development the cost of providing the same level of.
service that is provided to existing: development. The existing level - of service for police protection
facilities is based on the replacement cost of existing facilities. Table 35 -below shows the total
replacement cost for each of the Police Departments main facilities. The replacement cost for all
existing facilities is $7,945,686.

Similar to the fire protection impact Yee, the law enforcement impact fee is based on the replacement
value of existing capital facilities, the distribution of'calls-forscrvice between. residential and
nonresidential developriment, and the existing functional population associated with residential and
nonresidential development. The cost to provide the same level of service to new residential
development is $183 per functional population, and the cost to provide the same level of service to new
nonresidential development is $179 per functional population, as shown in Table 37.

Net Cost Per Service Unit
In the calculation of the impact of new development on infrastructure costs, credit should be given for •
non -local funding that will be generated by new development and used to pay for capacity -related capital
improvements. Credit should also be provided for taxes that will be paid by new development and used
to retire outstanding debt for past police protection facility improvements. The City has no outstanding
debt`for police facilities. Consequently, credit against police impact fees is only due for grant funding. -
<ii
The City receives some capital grants for police equipment. Over the last five years, the Police
Department anticipates receiving $208,249 in capital -related grants, as summarized in Table 38. t

Assuming that the anticipated grant funding over the five-year period for police capital improvements
will continue to increase proportional to the amount of development in Fayetteville, the City will receive
the present value equivalent of about $7 per functional population over the 20 -year life of most capital
improvements, and shown in Table 39. -

The City's Capital Improvements Plan includes a list of unfunded police projects that are needed over
the next five years, as shown in Table 43. Additional analysis will be required to determine, the portion
of the $15.8 million joint public safety command center that is eligible for police impact fee funding.
First, it will be necessary to determine the share of overall project cost that is attributable to. police
facilities. Second, it will be necessary to determine the extent to which the police facilities increase the
capacity to provide service to new develojinieni .rather than simply replace existing facilities. Even
using a conservative assumption, however, it is clear that there are sufficient unfunded capital needs for
the anticipated police impact fee revenues.

KIT WILLIAMS, CITY ATTORNEY
���,'V`7 �, / ® DAVID WHITAKER, ASST. CITY ATTORNEY
DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
TO: Dan Coody, Mayor
City Council
FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney
DATE: October 11, 2005
RE: Police and Fire Impact Fees
LEGAL DEPARTMENT
The Arkansas Attorney General has opined that impact fees are not
taxes, and thus no vote of the citizens is needed to pass such impact fees. I
understand the rationale and reasoning of the Attorney General and will
argue that to a Court if Fayetteville was ever sued.
The Attorney General may very well be correct that no citizen vote is
needed to pass Fire, Police and Road Impact Fees. The last time Fayetteville
was on the losing end of an illegal exaction case was when we settled in late
2000 (right before I became City Attorney) in the property tax rollback case.
The County had, years earlier, been informed by state officials that we were
complying with the law. The Courts determined otherwise and our police
and fire pension funds paid over $100,000.00 in attorney's fees for their
combined one mill. The School Districts and County obviously paid
attorney's fees that totaled in the millions. The state officials paid nothing.
Even if there is only a slight risk that the Courts could determine fire,
police or road impact fees could be "taxes", I believe it is more prudent to
refer those ordinances for a public vote of ratification.
POLICE
The Fayetteville Police Department consists of over 150 sworn and civilian members. The department
operates programs such as School Resource Officers, Crime Prevention and Neighborhood Policing.
Officers in the department work a number of different patrols using automobiles, motorcycles and
bicycles. The department's K-9 Division is comprised of three K-9 teams, which are assigned.to patrol
shifts and assist in the normal day-to-day patrol operations. The Fayetteville City Jail is planned to be
closed, and will not be included in the police impact fee calculations.
Service Area
Fayetteville's police facilities constitute an interrelated system that provides service throughout the City's
jurisdiction. Consequently, the entire city is appropriately defined as a single service area.
Service Unit
As with the fire impact fees, the service unit for the police impact fees will be "functional population"
as described in Appendix B. his reasonable to assume that the demand for police facilities is at least
roughly proportional to the presence of people at the site of a "land use. It is also reasonable to
recognize that residential and nonresidential land uses may place somewhat different demands on police
facilities. Different police protection costs will be developed for residential and "nonresidential
development based on calls -for -service. In 2003, the Fayetteville Police Department received a total
of 48,100 calls -for -service (excluding road -related calls). Table 34 below shows the distribution of
calls -for -service by land use type for 2003_
Table 34
POLICE CALLS -FOR -SERVICE, 2003
Land Use Calls Percent
Residential 19,608 40.8%
Nonresidential 28,502 59.2%,
Total 48110. 100.0%
Source: Fayetteville Police Deportment, May 2004
(excluding load+elated calls).
Cost per Service Unit
Police impact fees are designed to charge new development the cost of providing the same level of
service that is provided to existing. development. The existing level of service for police protection
facilities is based on the replacement cost of existing facilities. Table 35 below shows the total
replacement cost for each of the Police Departments main facilities. The replacement cost for all
existing facilities is $7,945,686.

Similar to the fire protection impact fee, the law enforcement impact fee is based on the replacement
value of existing capital facilities, the distribution of calls -for -service between residential and
nonresidential development, and the existing functional population associated with residential and
nonresidential development. The cost to provide the same level of service to new residential
development is $183 per functional population, and the cost to provide the same level of service to new
nonresidential development is $179 per functional population, as shown in Table 37.

Net Cost Per Service Unit
In the calculation of the impact of new development on infrastructure costs, credit should be given for .;
non-localfundingthat will begenerated by new development and used topay ficircapacity-related capital -.
improvements. Credit should also be provided for taxes that will be paid by new development and used
to retire outstanding debt for past police protection facility improvements. The City has no outstanding
debt for police facilities. Consequently, credit against police impact fees is only due for grant funding.
li
The City receives some capital grants for police equipment. Over the last five years, the Police
Department anticipates receiving $208,249 in capital -related grants, as summarized in Table 38. - - -st

Assuming that the anticipated grant funding over the five-year period for police capital improvements
will continue to increase proportional to the amount of development in Fayetteville, the City will receive
the present value equivalent of about $7 per functional population over the 20 -year fife of most capital
improvements, and shown in Table 39.
