FINANCIAL COMMENTS
Long range planning activities are primarily funded by the Long Range Planning fee charge on all development
applications. The Long Range Planning fee was adopted by the City Council on March 21, 2012 by increasing the fees
for most Planning and Building permit activities and some Engineering permit activities by 15% to fund the City's long
range planning program. The program is, to a lesser degree, also funded by transfers from a combination of other
City funds, including the General Fund, Park Funds, Community Development, Drainage Impact, Sewer, Water Funds.
These transfers were made at a higher level to fund the Morgan Hill 2035 project, and were scheduled to the budget
on a time-limited basis and are scheduled to expire at the end of FY 15-16. The Morgan Hill 2035 project will however
extend into FY16-17 and additional long-range planning activities (e.g., Downtown Station Area Plan, Monterey
Corridor Form Based Code, Live Oak Area Neighborhood Plan) are proposed to continue over the next two fiscal years
