1.1 Introduction
HDR Engineering Inc. (d.b.a. HDR/EES) was retained by the City of Kalispell; Montana (City) to
develop in 2006 and update in 2010 the City's cost based impact fees for the City's police services
that comply with the Montana Code 7-6-1601 to 7-6-1604. This update is based on the
methodology used in the previously adopted reports and on current capital improvement plans,
planning data, and cost allocations. This report provides a summary of the update to the cost based
impact fees for the City's police services. Impact fees are a one-time assessment against new
development to pay for the cost of infrastructure required to provide service. Impact fees provide
the means of balancing the cost requirements for new infrastructure (buildings and equipment)
between existing customers and new customers. The portion of capital improvements that will
provide service to new customers is included in the impact fees. In contrast to this, the City may
have future capital projects and equipment requirements that are related to meeting existing
deficiencies in police services. These costs must be funded by other sources and are not included
within the impact fee. By establishing cost -based impact fees, the City intends to assure that
"growth pays for growth" and existing residents and businesses will be sheltered from the financial
impacts of growth.
1.2 Overview of the Study
This report is divided into three distinct components. The next section of the report, Section
2, provides a summary of the legal requirements for the enactment of impact fees under Montana
law. The cost based impact fee calculation for the City's police services is provided in
Section 3.
1.3 Impact Fee Advisory Committee (IFAC)
The Montana Annotated Code requires the establishment of an Impact Fee Advisory Committee
(IFAC), which serves in an advisory capacity to the governing body of the City of Kalispell. The
planning, capital improvements projects, methods and calculations were reviewed and discussed
with the IFAC at various meeting since August of 2014. At the April 28, 2015 meeting the
proposed methodology and impact fee as outlined in this Final Report Update was motioned and
approved by the committee members.
1.4 Disclaimer
Determination of impact fees originally presented, used "generally accepted" planning,
accounting and ratemaking principles. This should not be construed as a legal opinion with
respect to Montana law.
Introduction and Overview of the Study 1-1
City of Kalispell, Montana
2.1 Introduction
An important consideration in establishing impact fees is any legal requirements at the state or
local level. The legal requirements often establish the methodology around which the impact
fees must be calculated or how the funds must be used. Given that, it is important for the City to
understand these legal requirements. This section of the report provides an overview of the legal
requirements for establishing impact fees under Montana law. This legal summary has been
updated from reports prepared by HDR/EES to reflect changes in the impact fee law as set forth in
SB0231. The changes in Montana law since the development of the fees were minor language
clarifications. Therefore, the methodology established in the previous reports was used as the
basis for this update of the police impact fees.
2.2 Requirements under Montana Law
In establishing impact fees, an important requirement is that they be developed and implemented in
conformance with local laws. In particular, many states have established specific laws
regarding impact fees. The main objective of most state laws is to assure that these charges are
established in such a manner that they are fair, equitable and cost -based. In other cases, state
legislation may have been needed to provide the legislative powers to the utility to establish
the charges.
The Montana law enabling legislation for impact fees was enacted in 2005 via Senate Bill 185.
This was comprehensive legislation allowing public entities in the State of Montana to enact
impact fees for various services. The legal basis for the enactment of impact fees is found in Title
7, Chapter 6, and Part 1601 to 1604 of the Montana Code. A copy of the full code is provided as
Appendix A.
Legal Considerations in Establishing Impact Fees for the City
City of Kalispell, Montana

3.1 Introduction
This section of the report presents the update of the police impact fees. The calculation of the
police impact fees presented in this section is based on the City's planning criteria and future
capital improvements as identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan. The methodology
was established in the previously adopted reports and updated with current capital improvements
and planning data. To the extent that the cost and timing of future capital improvements change,
then the impact fee presented in this section should be updated to reflect the cost of these
adjustments.
3.2 Present Police Impact Fees
The City currently assesses impact fees for police service. These are assessed for single-family
residential units, multi -family residential units and commercial property. A summary of the current
fees adopted in 2010 is provided in Table 3-1.
Residential per unit
Apartment per unit
Commercial per 1,000 sq ft of build space

The process of calculating impact fees is based upon a four -step process. In summary form,
these steps were as follows:
■ Determination of planning standards
■ Determination of Police Impact Fees
■ Determination of any impact fee credits
■ Determination of Police impact fees by development type
Each of these areas is discussed in more detail below.
Determination of the City's Police Impact Fees 3-1
City of Kalispell, Montana
3.3.1 Planning Standards
The planning horizon used for this report is from 2013 to 2035. The population projections from 2013
to 2035, uses a population growth rate of 2% and were derived from a memorandum dated October 17,
2014 from Tom Jentz, Planning Director. A copy of the memorandum and population projections are
provided in Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2. The only asset for the police department that is eligible for
inclusion in the impact fee is building space. Equipment is not eligible since the asset life is less
than ten (10) years. The building space needed for year 2035 is based on an analysis of three other
Montana police departments that have either built a new facility or conducted recent space needs
studies. The space needs summary is provided in Exhibit B-3 and B-4.
3.3.2 Building Costs
The next step of the analysis is to review each major functional component of providing police service
and determine the impact fee for that component. The components of the City's police service that
were reviewed for purposes of calculating an impact fee were as follows:
■ New building space
■ Administration costs
A brief discussion of the impact fee calculated for each of the components is provided below.
BUILDING SPACE — To determine the amount of new building space that is required to serve growth, a
survey was conducted using three other Montana police departments; Missoula PD, Bozeman PD, and
Whitefish PD. We reviewed their planning documents and based off of their planning ratios projected
out to the year 2035, determining the amount of square feet needed for future needs. The space needs
summary is provided in Exhibit B-3 and B-4. After reviewing the square footage projections of the
three identified police departments the IFAC agreed to 303 square feet per employee as the ratio for this
report. The building space requirement per person (303 sq ft) was then multiplied by the population
growth resulting in a space requirement for new development of 7,272 sq ft. The current construction
cost was determined from averaging three police public service building cost, which had been
constructed or have an engineer estimate for construction in the next one to two years. Construction
cost summary is provided in Exhibit B-3. Using the three construction cost figures, the average cost per
square foot is $302. The IFAC approved $302 per square foot for construction costs for this report.
This was then allocated to residential and commercial development based on the number of calls
resulting in $1,207,879 for residential development and $988,265 for commercial development. This is
a slight shift from residential to commercial when compared to the 2010 report. Based on recent call
records, the allocation to residential development used in this report is 55%, and 45% to commercial. In
the 2010 report, 54% of the calls were allocated to residential development and 46% to commercial.
Details of the call by development type are provided in Exhibit B-5_ Details of the calculations are
provided in Exhibit B-6_

City of Kalispell, Montana
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE — Under Montana statute, an impact fee may include a fee for the
administration of the impact not to exceed 5% of the impact fee collected. Therefore, the City has
included a police impact fee administrative charge of 5% of the impact fee collected.
3.3.3 Credits
The final step in calculating the police impact fee was to determine if a credit for payment from other
revenue sources was required. No debt is outstanding for the police and no new debt has been or will
be issued resulting in a credit of zero.
3.3.4 Net Allowable Police Impact Fees by Development Type
Based on the sum of the component costs calculated above, the net allowable police impact fee can be
determined. "Net" refers to the "gross" impact fee, net of any credits. "Allowable" refers to the
concept that the calculated impact fee shown in the following tables are the City's cost- based impact
fee. The City, as a matter of policy, may charge any amount up to the allowable impact fee, but not
over that amount. Charging an amount greater than the allowable impact fee would not meet the nexus
test of a cost -based impact fee.
To determine the residential development police impact fee, the allocated portion of police
service costs is divided by the population base that will be served to determine a cost per
person. This cost is then multiplied by the number of persons per dwelling type to determine a police
impact fee by residential development type. For commercial development, the allocated police service
costs are divided by the estimated amount of new commercial building space (1,000 sq. ft.) that
will be provided police service. Summaries of the calculated net allowable police impact fees by
development type are shown in Table 3-2.
Residential per unit
Apartment per unit
Commercial per 1,000 sq ft of build space
$277
210
179
The total impact fee as shown for a single-family residential unit is $277. This results in an
increase from the current residential development impact fees and an increase in the commercial fees.
This is due to the change in projected needs in space, construction costs, and the number of calls
related to residential development and commercial development. The details of the net allowable
impact fee are shown on Exhibit B-7 and Exhibit B-8 of the Technical Appendices.

3.4 Key Assumptions
In the development of the impact fees for the City's police service, a number of key assumptions were
utilized. These are as follows:
■ KPD's space needs and costs were used in the calculation.
■ The number of calls by development type was based on recent updated historical call records.
3.5 Implementation of the Impact Fees
The methodology used to calculate the impact fees takes into account the cost of money or
interest charges and inflation. Therefore, it is recommended that the City adjust the impact fees each
year by an adjustment factor to reflect the cost of interest and inflation. The most frequently used
source to adjust impact fees is the ENR index which tracks changes in construction costs for municipal
projects. This method of adjusting the City's impact fee should be used for no more than a two-year
period. After this time period, as required by Montana law, the City should update the charges based
on the actual cost of infrastructure and any new planned facilities that would be contained in an
updated master plan or capital improvement plan.
3.6 Recommendations
The following are recommendation based on the review and analysis of the City's police service.
■ The City should implement impact fees for police service that are no greater than the
impact fees as set forth in this report.
■ The City should update the actual calculations for the impact fees based on the methodology as
approved by the resolution or ordinance setting forth the methodology for impact fees
every two years as required by Montana law.

3) The service area report is a written analysis that must contain documentation of sources and methodology
used for purposes of subsection (2) and must document how each impact fee meets the requirements of subsection
(7)-
(4) The service area report that supports adoption and calculation of an impact fee must be available to the
public upon request.
(5) The amount of each impact fee imposed must be based upon the actual cost of public facility expansion or
improvements or reasonable estimates of the cost to be incurred by the governmental entity as a result of new
development. The calculation of each impact fee must be in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

7-6-1603. Collection and expenditure of impact fees -- refunds or credits -- mechanism for appeal
required.
(1) The collection and expenditure of impact fees must comply with this part. The collection and expenditure of
impact fees must be reasonably related to the benefits accruing to the development paying the impact tees. The
ordinance or resolution adopted by the governmental entity must include the following requirements:
(a) Upon collection, impact fees must be deposited in a special proprietary fund, which must be invested with
all interest accruing to the fund.
b) A governmental entity may impose impact fees on behalf of local districts.
c) If the impact fees are not collected or spent in accordance with the impact fee ordinance or resolution or in

wastewater or water service connection or well or septic permitting.
(3) A governmental entity may recoup costs of excess capacity in existing capital facilities, when the excess
capacity has been provided in anticipation of the needs of new development, by requiring impact fees for that
portion of the facilities constructed for future users. The need to recoup costs for excess capacity must have been
documented pursuant to 7-6-1602 in a manner that demonstrates the need for the excess capacity. This part does
not prevent a governmental entity from continuing to assess an impact fee that recoups costs for excess capacity in
an existing facility. The impact fees imposed to recoup the costs to provide the excess capacity must be based on
the governmental entity's actual cost ofacquiring, constructing, or upgrading the facility and must be no more than
ov a proportionate share of the costs to pride the excess capacity.
(4) Governmental entities may accept the dedication of land or the construction of public facilities in lieu of
payment of impact fees if:
a) the need for the dedication or construction is clearly documented pursuant to 7-6-1602;
(b) the land proposed for dedication for the public facilities to be constructed is determined to be appropriate for
the proposed use by the governmental entity;
c) formulas or procedures for determining the worth of proposed dedications or constructions are established as
part of the impact fee ordinance or resolution; and
(d) a means to establish credits against future impact fee revenue has been created as part of the adopting
ordinance or resolution if the dedication of land or construction of public facilities is of worth in excess of the
impact fee due from an individual development.
(5) Impact fees may not be imposed for remodeling, rehabilitation, or other improvements to an existing
structure or for rebuildin a damaged structure unless there is an increase in units that increase service demand as
described in 7-6-1602(2%). If impact fees are imposed for remodeling, rehabilitation, or other improvements to an
existing structure or use, only the net increase between the old and new demand may be imposed.
(6) This part does not prevent a governmental entity from granting refunds or credits:
a) that it considers appropriate and that are consistent with the provisions of 7-6-1602 and this chapter; or
between the governmental entity and the individual or entity being assessed the impact fees.
(7) An impact fee represents a fee for service payable by all users creating additional demand on the facility.
8 An impact fee ordinance or resolution must include a mechanism whereby a person charged an impact fee
may appeal the charge if the person believes an error has been made.

Subject: Construction Trends/Projections for Commercial Development
I have attached a worksheet showing commercial construction development trends in Kalispell along with
projections through the year 2035. In brief this office anticipates that there will be approximately 290 additional
acres of commercial development within the Kalispell city limits from 2015-2035. This projection utilizes
commercial growth trends from 2006-2013 and add a 2% per year growth rate based on the projected Kalispell
population growth rate.
The commercial construction figures used for the above estimates are based on building permits issued from
2006 — 2013 within the city of Kalispell. Over this 8 year period the city has seen an average of 222,628 square
feet of commercial development occur per year. Commercial development is generally described as non-
residential uses including retail, office, medical, governmental, churches, schools and industrial uses.
This office utilizes a ratio of 20,000 square feet of constructed area per gross acre of developed land. In other
words a 20,000 square foot building along with the associated required parking, landscaping and setbacks would
consume one acre of land. Using the above number of 222,628 square feet of constructed area per year, it is
estimated that that this would equate to 11.13 acres of commercial land per year over the past 8 years.
For comparison purposes inside the city of Kalispell in 2013 there were 1,200 acres of commercially developed
land which again includes retail, office, medical, governmental, churches, schools and industrial uses. Outside
the city but within the annexation boundary there are another 723 acres of commercially developed land. This
would then total 1,923 acres of commercially developed land within the Kalispell annexation boundary as
adopted by the city council by resolution 5404A on March 7, 2011.

square feet per employee for the 2015 Updated Police Impact Fee Report.
Average construction costs of above three facilities based on actual construction
estimates: $302 per square foot. This Impact Fee Committee agreed at the November
25, 2014 meeting to use the $302 per square foot figure for the 2015 Updated Police

Residential/Commercial Call Ratios
The last study comparing the ratio of residential to commercial calls was conducted in
2009. This was completed by tracking all "calls for service" in our record management
system. The following were the results broken down into: residential, Commercial, and
Other. Other includes traffic stops and other self -generated activities by police officers.

I conducted an updated study in September 2014. I was unable to use our record
management system in the same manner because of tracking differences with a new
computer system. The old system was able to track every call that came into KPD.
The new system only tracks this data if an officer writes a report (most calls do not
generate reports). Instead, I selected eight days and manually tracked the calls for those
days. Every day of the week was covered (Monday twice), with two days being in each
of the months of January, April, July, and October (661 total calls).
