Our firm, BBC, has prepared over seventy impact fee studies in the Rocky Mountain West and has a track record of successful research statewide for the Idaho Housing and Finance Association. The project team has calculated impact fees for the cities of Boise, Caldwell, Nampa and Meridian, and is currently calculating parks, police, fire, EMS, and street impact fees, for Shoshone County, the City of Middleton and City of Twin Falls. Team members have calculated development impact fees in all categories allowed by Idaho State law. BBC has also completed local housing and community development studies for Ada County, Driggs, Teton County, Pocatello, Rexburg and Lewiston, and recently finished urban renewal assignments for the City of Coeur d'Alene and City of Sandpoint in conjunction with Galena Consulting. Tom Pippin will manage this project and serve as your day-to-day contact. Tom is a 17 -year veteran and Managing Director of BBC, and oversees the firm's housing and public finance practices.

Representing developers, Ms. Butler has worked with the City of Nampa ro evaluate their impact fee ordinance, and monitors Idaho legislative activity in connection with impact fees. JoAnn's participation on the project team ensures that the methodology chosen complies with Idaho State law. She will also assist with facilitating the development impact fee advisory committee and required public hearings under Idaho state law. Ms. Butler can work directly with Ciry legal staff to write the impact fee ordinance, if needed. Anne Wescott of Galena Consulting in Boise is a municipal management analyst with extensive capital infrastructure planning and financing experience. She has facilitated large-scale capital development processes for cities including Salt Lake City's street and fleet complex, public safety complex, and community center complex.

Ms. Wescott recently assisted BBC with an impact fee study in Salt Lake City, Utah, Lyon County, Nevada and Goodyear, Arizona and is currently working with the project ream in the development of impact fees for the City of Meridian. She recently developed a ten-year fiscally constrained capital infrastructure plan for Salt Lake City, and consults municipalities on capital infrastructure financing. Ms. Wescott will assist in the preparation of the required CIP that will serve as a basis for the City of Moscow's impact fees. In sum, our team includes economists, infrastructure planners, land use attorneys, land use planners, legislative historians and litigators. We are well qualified to perform this study for the City of Moscow and would welcome the opportunity to work with you. BBC Impact Fee References in Idaho No team has successfully completed more impact fee studies for local governments in Idaho than our team of BBC, Anne Wescott of Galena Consulting in Boise, and JoAnn Butler of the law firm Spink, Buder LLP in Boise. We have very pleased impact fee clients throughout Idaho, and encourage you to call any of the following references to review the quality of our impact fee work: City of Meridian Mayor Tammy DeWeerd Finance Director Stacy Kilchenmann Deputy City Attorney Ted Baird [PHONE REDACTED] ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Nampa Mayor Tom Dale Finance Director Debbie Mammone [PHONE REDACTED] City of Caldwell Mayor Garrett Nancolas Finance Director EIJay Waite [PHONE REDACTED] Page4 In addition to these municipal impact fee references we encourage you to contact Executive Director Ken Harward at the Association ofldaho Cities at [PHONE REDACTED]. Ken recently invited our team to speak on impact fees and capital improvement plans (CIPs) to the AIC membership statewide. Earlier this year, the BBC team completed 5 presentations at AIC Spring District Workshops. Over 500 representatives from cities and towns throughout the state attended impact fee training at sessions in Nampa, Twin Falls, Pocatello, Idaho Falls and Coeur d'Alene. Proposed Budget for the Impact Fee Study The budget for this project is $35,000 to develop a CIP, calculate impact fees and prepare an ordinance for all five of the following categories: police, fire, parks, storm drainage and transportation (including right-of-way, streets, bridges and traffic signals). Please note that the above costs can be included in the fee calculations so that Moscow is repaid for the entire cost of the study over time by new development. Also, it is important to remember that our proposed budget includes developing the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), calculating the impact fees and writing the report, and preparing the enabling ordinance for you City Attorney to review. This is why our team includes multiple specialists an economist (me), an infrastructure planner (Anne Wescott) and a land-use attorney OoAnn Buder). Our scope of work, and the above budget, includes the following 8 meetings in Moscow: • 3 meetings with the Citizen Advisory Committee; • 2 "open house" meetings with audiences of your choosing such as the Realtors, homebuilders and/or public at large; and • 3 meetings with City Council including one preliminary briefing and two required public hearings. We will schedule our trips to Moscow as efficiently as possible. For example, at the beginning of the study, we would like to interview City department heads regarding their CIPs on the same trip as one ---PAGE BREAK--- PageS of the initial Citizen Advisory Committee meetings. Moreover, near the conclusion of the study, we would like to hold an impact fee model training session for Moscow staff during one of our trips to present at City Council Proposed Schedule for the Impact Fee Study Our team can begin this project immediately upon your notice to proceed. We could produce a draft CIP and draft impact fee repott in approximately 12 weeks thereafter. The schedule from rhat point would depend on how quickly your citizen Advisory Committee could meet to review the draft; your Planning & Zoning Commission could meet to hold a required public hearing on amending the Comprehensive Plan with rhe new CIPs; and your Ciry Council could meet to hold the required public hearing on rhe fee ordinance. Our team is committed to finishing this study for Moscow as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our references listed above can testifY to this fact. Approach to Project The impact fee study methodology we have successfully employed in six Rocky Mountain States (Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah) is fully consistent with the relevant Idaho State Statutes. This approach includes: • Establishment of and consultation wirh a development impact fee advisory committee; • Analysis of current infrastructure service standards and identification of rhe growth related portion of City infrastructure plans; • Preparation of a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) pursuant to state law and public hearings regarding the same; • Forecast of residential and commercial growth; • Analysis of cash flow stemming from impact fees and orher infrastructure financing sources bonded indebtedness, special districts, General Fund contributions); • Implementation recommendations including impact fee credits, how fee revenues should be accounted for, and how the fees should be updated over time; and • Assistance to Ciry legal staff in preparing an enabling ordinance. While most stateS impact fee ordinances have many similarities, all present certain unique requirements. Therefore, we have augmented the technical economic and planning aspects of our team with demonstrated Idaho legal expertise on impact foes. ---PAGE BREAK--- Page& Scope of Service We will calculate fees for the City of Moscow in the following categories: police, fire, parks, storm drainage and transportation.

While large amounts of staff time will not be needed, timely staff involvement will be necessary to adhere to tbe schedule provided above. Summary of Qualifications Our team offers several desirable qualifications for the City of Moscow: • Local connections. BBC has had experience working throughout Idaho in recent years and will have the advantage of working with two experienced Idaho-based subcontractors. • Previous experience in preparing impact fee studies. As demonstrated in this proposal, we have completed over 70 impact fee studies for counties, cities, towns, and special districts in several states including Boise, Caldwell, Nampa, Twin Falls and Meridian, Idaho. • Experience and knowledge of the Idaho State Statutes on Development Impact Fees. Our team is well versed in the application ofldaho State Statutes on development impact fees. As demonstrated in this proposal, Ms. JoAnn Butler has extensive experience representing cities and the development communities with regard to these statues and the application of development impact fees in Idaho. • Ability to meet critical timelines. Every impact fee study we have completed has been on-time and within budget. We encourage you to closely check the references included herein. • Experience defending our firm's impact fee analysis against legal challenge. Our impact fees have never been legally challenged. We have been retained as expert witnesses to critique impact fees prepared by otber firms. • Public and private sector work. Although the majority of our public finance assignments-including impact fees-are for the public sector, we do work periodically for private builders and developers. We believe that rhis familiarity with private sector real estate/industrial site selection decisions makes us berter impact fee consultants. We ---PAGE BREAK--- can anticipate questions from builders and developers, and help ensure that impact fees are designed to recover adequate revenue for local government while being sensitive to private sector concerns.
