E. 
The government building facilities fee will remain at the above-noted fee through December 31, 2011. Effective January 1, 2012, the government building facilities fee will be adjusted to reflect the previous two years' changes of the Twenty-City U.S. Average Engineering News-Record (ENR) Official Construction Cost Index. Thus, the government building facilities fee that will become effective January 1, 2012 shall be the amount assessed effective January 1, 2007, plus the ENR increase from January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2011, and the ENR increase from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2012. In each subsequent year thereafter, the adjustment shall reflect the change in the Construction Cost Index from January one year to January the following year, and developer shall pay those fees in place at time payment is due. In no event shall the fees be less than in any previous year.
F.

If the required fee is not fully paid prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of any portion of the residential development encumbered thereby, the property owner, or lessee if the lessee's interest appears of record, as a condition of issuance of the building permit, shall execute a "Development Fee Deferral Agreement and Notice of Lien with Power of Sale" to pay the fee or charge, or applicable portion thereof, within the time specified above. The contract shall be recorded with the San Joaquin County recorder and shall constitute a lien for the payment of the fee. No certificate of occupancy for a dwelling unit within a residential development subject to this section will be issued unless and until the fees are paid in full. For purposes of this section, "final inspection" and "certificate of occupancy" shall be defined as those terms are defined in Government Code Section 66007, as amended.
