• • • Ms. Kamp stated that the County has built the County Administration Building Complex, the Transit Administration Building, Supervisor of Elections Building, and the Emergency Operations Center since the last study, and there are plans to build new courtroom facilities in the next five years. There was a methodology difference on the demand side, because in this study they used the 24-hour functional population instead of the 11 -hour operation. The inventory increased tremendously and the cost per person increased 16%, the credit decreased, and the demand increased significantly due to the methodology change. The full calculated fee for single family residential land use is $750, and all the non-residential fees decreased. Since the credit is so much smaller, this is a case where you need most of the fee to maintain the adopted LOS standard. LIBRARIES Ms. Kamp, while displaying several charts, stated that the Brackett Library was built since the 2005 study, and no future projects are anticipated. Inventory increased and the actual LOS achieved was an increase, but the adopted standards did not change, so they used the same adopted LOS standards. The fee increase was driven mostly by reduction and credits. The cost increased 9%, from $500 to $700 for a single family home. When they did the affordable growth, since there is so little outside funding, most of the fee is needed to maintain the adopted LOS. Budget and Management Director Jason Brown and Administrator Joseph Baird responded to Commissioner Zorc's inquiry that there is no library facility expansions scheduled over the next five years, but with technology changes there will be an automation transformation in the libraries.
