The parkland purchase fund is to accumulate money to purchase park land as it comes available. The $250,000 equates to about 10 acres. Starting in fiscal
year 2008 $700,000 per year is budgeted to develop 10 acres of park land per year.
FUNDING
There are three sources of funding available for park
capital development; general revenue from the
governmental activities, park impact fees, and
partnerships and donations. Park impact fees are
collected when a residential building permit is sold.
These fees can be used only to develop new parks or
add capacity to existing facilities based on the
underlying theory that new residents should help to
pay for new parks and facilities built to serve them.
Impact fees have become more and more important
as the resource that has allowed Meridian to purchase
and develop park land. The current impact fee is
$667 per residential building permit. Due to the
growth in building permits the City collected over
$1.2 million in impact fees and fiscal year 2004, and
will most likely do the same in fiscal year 2005.
The calculation of the fee will be addressed annually
or at a minimum every other year and the amount
may be changed.
General fund revenue has to come from the general
tax funds used to operate Fire, Police, and other
general government activities. From 1995 to 2004
the City spent several million dollars to purchase and
develop 58 acres for a large urban park.
Development is on-going and the park is not
completed.
From fiscal year 1995 through fiscal year 2004 the
City has spent $10,402,175 on purchases of park land
and park development. Of this amount 38% has
been funded by the general fund, 42% by impact fees,
and 20% by donations. Donations come from
developers, partnerships with community
organizations, or volunteer fund raising efforts.
IMPACT FEES $1,146,069 $27,851 $347,315 $481,090 $773,554 $966,564 $3,742,443
DONATIONS $60,000 $82,962 $111,810 $323,108 $567,000 $228,391 $399,500 $1,772,771
Based on projections for sales of residential
housing permits and the park impact fee staying
the same the City will generate $7,926,464
from 2005 through 2010 from impact fee
revenue for new park development. Donations
of $4,084,000 are expected for the same time
period. This includes; $800,000 for
Adventureland Playground, $1,200,000 for
Settlers Park youth baseball fields, $435,700 for
Kiwanis Park, $860,000 for Lochsa Falls PAL
soccer fields, $260,800 for Champion Park,
GRAND TOTAL $8,882,204
$187,500 donation of 7.5 acre parcel, and
$340,000 for the dog facility and remote car
racing track near the police station.
The capital improvement plan for the same time
period is $14,201,431. This means the City will
need to appropriate $4,081,748 from the general
fund or other sources if all projects in the capital
improvement plan are completed.
