PURPOSE: To consider an amendment to the contract Timeline (Exhibit B) of the Education
Facilities Impact Fees Technical Study contract with TischlerBise, Inc.
BACKGROUND: On December 4, 2006, the Board authorized Staff to negotiate a contract with
TischlerBise, Inc. to perform work on an Education Facilities Impact Fee Study. On May 14,
2007, Orange County entered into a contract with TischlerBise, Inc. to provide consultant
services for the study. ~ The contract includes a timeline for the consultant work (see Attachment
1). For a variety of reasons, including internal discussions with the Budget, Manager's, and
Attorney's offices about funding policies and school construction standards (adopted 8-27-07),
the original timeline cannot be achieved and is proposed to be extended through June 2008.
In accordance with the desire to keep contract terms up-to-date, staff has revised the timeline to
be consistent with expected progress and has coordinated with TischlerBise regarding the
revised timeline.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no additional costs related to the contract amendment.
TischlerBise has agreed to the timeline amendment and will perform the work tasks in
accordance with the revised timeline for the original contract fee ($50,100) that was included in
the FY2006-07 budget. Monies were carried forward into subsequent budget years.
RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the BOCC approve the contract
change and authorize the Manager to sign the contract Amendment.

Task 4. Galaulate"Credits" to lee Applied Against Capital Casts.
A consdera4on of "credits" is an integral part. to the development of a l8gally valid impact
fee calculation methodology., There is considerable confusion among tlloSe who are note
immersed iri' impact fee law about the definition of a credit,and why it may be legally or
equitably required:
There are, in fact; two {2j types of "credits," each with specific,. distinck characteristics, but
both 4f which will be ineluded for at Isast.consid~ered} in' the development of ail impact Fees.
'fha t'irst is a credit due to possible double payment situations. This could occur when future
contributions are made by the property-owner toward the capital oasts of the public.facility
already covered by the impact flee: This type of: credit will be considered and incorporated
iryto ttie fee amount, if necessary. The second is a credit toward the payment of an impact
fee due for the required dedication of public sites andlor public improvements provided by
the developer and for which the impact Fee.is imposed: This type of credit will be addressed
in the ordinance that adopts the' fee and is .addressed. during irnpiementation.
