SEC. 411.5. PRINCIPLES IN CALCULATING FEE.

The following principles have been and shall in the future be observed in calculating the TIDF:

(a) Actual cost information provided to the National Transit Database shall be used in calculating the fee rates. Where estimates must be made, those estimates shall be based on such information as the Director of Transportation or his or her delegate considers reasonable for the purpose.

(b) The rates shall be set at an actuarially sound level to ensure that the proceeds, including such earnings as may be derived from investment of the proceeds and amortization thereof, do not exceed the capital and operating costs incurred to maintain the applicable base service standard in light of the demands created by new development subject to the fee over the estimated useful life of such new development. For purposes of Section 411.1 et seq. of this Code, and any Comprehensive Five Year Evaluation of the TIDF under Section 410, the estimated useful life of a new development is 45 years.
