During the FY 2011/12 fiscal year, the City Council approved an update of the Fair Share Traffic Impact Fee including minor revisions to the Municipal Code and the fee structure. The following sections comprise the annual report. HB -73- Item 9. - 10 Fiscal Status This report presents the fund information based on the City's preliminary audit for Fiscal Year 2013/14. The balance for the fund at the beginning of the fiscal year was $1,505,123. During FY 2013/14, Traffic Impact Fee fund recognized $1,570,621 in revenues including the following: ® Impact Fees Paid $1,547,636 • Grants $ 15,120 ■ Interest and Miscellaneous $ 7,865 Expenditures from the fund totaled $11,436 in personnel salaries and benefits related to program and project administration. The fund balance at the end of the fiscal year was $3,064,308. Budgeted projects for FY 2013/14 included Atlanta Avenue Widening, Ellis/Main Traffic Channelization Modifications and Brookhurst/Adams Intersection Improvements. Funds for the Ellis/Main project were carried forward to FY 2014/15. Funds for Brookhurst/Adams were encumbered and carried forward to FY 2014/15. Planned Capital Projects, Studies and Expenditures The City Council approved new funding for Fiscal Year 2014/15 in the amount of $50,000 for a study of the potential reconfiguration of the Beach/Ellis/Main Street intersection to improve traffic flow efficiency and reduce congestion. As noted above, $177,819 in 2013/14 CIP funds were also carried forward for the project. Funds in the amount of $78,927 were encumbered in FY 2013/14 for Brookhurst/Adams Intersection Improvements. These funds were carried forward to the current fiscal year. Lastly, the FY 2014/15 budget includes $600,000 in TIF funds for the Atlanta Avenue Widening project. The City expects to collect traffic impact fees for a few larger projects during the current fiscal year, depending on actual development scheduling and approvals. There are a few traffic capacity projects that are being developed where the some of the current and projected balance could be used including: ® Brookhurst/Adams right-of-way and construction phase ® Warner/Beach right turn lane right-of-way and construction phase ® Beach/Edinger eastbound right turn lane extension right-of-way and construction Right-of-way acquisition and construction costs for each of these projects is likely to be substantial and would require additional revenue sources, such as grants to fund the complete project. Staff recommends allowing the balance of the traffic impact fee fund to grow and limit expenditures to high priority efforts in order to best meet the future funding needs for these projects. Item 9. - I I HB -74- Conformance with Program Goals and Objectives The Traffic Impact Fee Program is intended to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan, as stated in the Municipal Code Chapter 17.65.
