5. PUBLIC FACILITIES The public facilities portion of the DIF covers the facility needs associated with a number of City departments that provide a range of public services to residents and businesses, including public safety and general government. Since most City government services serve the needs of both residents and businesses (employees), it is assumed that both residential and nonresidential development will pay a public facilities impact fee. Public Facilities Cost Assumptions The new public facilities and improvements required through buildout of the General Plan are described below. Fire The City of Pleasanton's Fire Department is responsible for handling daily emergency response activities in the City, including medical emergencies, fires, hazardous materials spills, technical rescues, public assistance, and other emergency calls. Demolition of fire station 3 and renovation of fire station 2 are envisioned within the timeline of the General Plan. The City staff estimates the cost for these two fire facilities to be $4.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as shown in Table 14. Both facilities will continue to serve the citywide needs of existing and new service population. Since most fire services serve the needs of both residents and businesses (employees), it is assumed that both residential and nonresidential development will pay a capital facility impact fee. The Fire department also incurs substantial vehicle and equipment costs; however, these costs are excluded from this analysis and are assumed to be covered by the General Fund.
