County Counsel recommending the Board: 1) Consider the various options for refunding development impact fees that were ordered by the court to be refunded in the Thomas Austin and Helen Austin v. County of El Dorado et al. litigation (Case Number PC20150633); 2) Direct staff to issue partial refunds by direct payment to the current record owners of eligible parcels as of the last equalized assessment roll, with payment amounts prorated based on the proportional relationship between the amount of fees actually paid on an eligible parcel and the amount of funds subject to refund pursuant to the Settlement Agreements; and 3) Direct staff to develop a claims process to facilitate the refunds, proceed with the refunds once the claims process is implemented, and to return to the Board in approximately six months with a status update on the refunds. FUNDING: TIM/TIF funds, El Dorado Hills Community Services District Park & Recreation Impact Fee Fund, El Dorado Hills County Water District Fire Impact Fee Fund.
