Summary
The fees developers pay to fund habitat conservation are down about 45% this fiscal year because building has slowed across western Riverside County. The board cut revenue projections by $7.6 million but staff says reserves are healthy and current projects are safe — tougher choices may come in future years.

Impact analysis
Revenue projections cut by about $8 million for this fiscal year, though reserves remain above board policy levels for the next couple of years.
Current land acquisition projects stay funded, and the agency's healthy reserves protect conservation work through the downturn.
Future-year land acquisition and new initiatives could face cuts if the development slowdown persists.
