I don't know what time you leave today. I could probably do 3:30 if I leave my meeting early. Please let me know
if 4pm is too late.
Would it be okay to do a zoom call?

Hi Alena,
I am including Nicole on this since she prepared the fiscal study for the project and can address how the calculations
were done for the fire and police costs for the Coral Mtn project.
I can tell you, in general, fire and police costs are high due to the rising costs of those contracts that we have with the
County. And the costs keep rising every year. Fire not as much as police. You can review the City's budget to see how
much we have allotted to those costs. https://www.laquintaca.gov/business/budget
I'm not sure if Measure G is applied to new developments. New developments pay Development Impact Fees, or DIF,
to offset their costs. The amounts of the DIF fees are on the website. https://www.laquintaca.gov/business/design-
and-development/development-impact-fees-dif
There are several categories of fees they pay into, including police, fire, roads, library, etc. DIF fees are assessed
when the building permits are issued. Cantera will pay the current DIF fees when their permits are issued. I hope this
helps!

Good morning. Is there someone I can speak with who can help me understand how the costs for fire and police is
calculated by the town? I am assuming the very high costs in the revenue impact for Coral Mountain were due to the
nature of the hotel, wave pool, and STVRs. I am making an assumption that if there was an equivalent number of low
density residential on that property with no STVRs, and no hotel and wave pool, the police and fire would be a lot less
money.
Also, Measure G says it has money for police. I am trying to understand if that is applied toward new developments. I
would also like to understand what the developer for Cantera on 58th is being charged for police and fire and is it
standard practice to charge the developer.
Thanks for the information.
