Letter of opposition towards Senate Bill 79 (Wiener) and SB 634 (Perez) and letter of support towards Senate Bill 74 (Seyarto) and Senate Bill 496 (Hurtado)
I RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Review draft letters.
2. Send letters of opposition towards SB 79 (Wiener) Transit-oriented development and SB 634 (Perez) Homelessness: Civil and criminal penalties
3. Send letter of support towards SB 7 4 (Seyarto) Critical Infrastructure Gap Fund and SB 496 (Hurtado) Advanced Clean Fleets
!FISCAL IMPACT
This action has no fiscal impact.
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
SB 79 doubles down on the recent trend of the state overriding its own mandated local housing elements. This latest overreaching effort forces cities to approve transit-oriented development projects near specified transit stops - up to seven stories high and a density of 120 homes per acre - without regard to the community's needs, environmental review, or public input.
ITEM 8.3a PAGE1 4/15/2025
Most alarmingly, SB 79 defies cities' general plans and provides transit agencies unlimited land use authority on property they own or have a permanent easement, regardless of the distance from a transit stop. Transit agencies would have the power to determine all aspects of the development including height, density, and design, without any regard to local zoning or planning.
SB 634 The California Constitution authorizes a county or city to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws. Current law establishes procedures for the enactment of ordinances by counties and cities and makes a violation of a county or city ordinance, as applicable, a misdemeanor unless by ordinance it is made an infraction. Current law also prohibits a state agency from adopting or enforcing any rule or a violation of which can result in the imposition of a fine or imprisonment, or both, unless a statute specifically authorizes the imposition of such fine or imprisonment, or both, for a violation of the rule or regulation.
This bill would prohibit a local jurisdiction from adopting a local ordinance, or enforcing an existing ordinance, that imposes civil or criminal penalties on a person who is homeless for any act immediately related to homelessness or any act related to basic survival, or on a person who is assisting a person who is homeless with any act related to basic survival. The bill would similarly prohibit a state agency from adopting any regulation or issuing any policy or guidance, or enforcing an existing regulation, policy, or guidance, that imposes those civil or criminal penalties. The bill would define various terms for these purposes.
SB 74 will help bridge a funding gap by offering grants that support roads, bridges, water systems, and other vital infrastructure, ensuring safer and more efficient communities. As California's local governments continue to grow, so does the need for reliable and sustainable infrastructure. However, many local governments struggle to fund essential projects due to financial constraints, making it difficult to meet the demands of our residents and businesses.
The devasting fires across the state and most recently in Southern California have shown vulnerabilities in our local infrastructures. Investing in public infrastructure is crucial to preventing fires and protecting lives. Adequate funding for fire-resistant building materials, modernized electrical grids, and well-maintained roadways ensures that both public and private spaces are safeguarded against potential fire threats. Furthermore, upgrading water supply systems, such as expanding hydrant networks and improving water pressure, is essential for effective firefighting efforts.
SB 496 This bill creates an appeals advisory committee made up of state agencies, industry experts, fleets, and local governments to navigate the exemption and extension process for the California Air Resource Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation.
It amends the definition of an authorized emergency vehicle as defined in the ACF regulation to expand the types of vehicles covered by the Emergency Vehicle Exemption.
It amends the ACF regulation to allow a fleet to petition to waive the 10 percent Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV)/Near-Zero Emission Vehicle (NZEV) requirement from the Daily Usage Exemption where it is impractical for them to meet the requirement for their specific ITEM 8.3a PAGE2 4/15/2025
fleet. Further, it seeks to increase flexibility and expand the applicability of the Daily Usage Exemption.
Lastly, this bill amends the Infrastructure Delay Extension so that a fleet can apply for a waiver without the requirement of purchasing a ZEV.

RE: se 79 (Wiener) Transit-oriented Development
Notice of Opposition
Dear Senator Wiener,
The City Anderson writes to express our strong opposition to your SB 79 (Wiener), which would disregard state-certified housing elements and bestow land use authority to transit agencies without any requirement that developers build housing, let alone affordable housing.
SB 79 doubles down on the recent trend of the state overriding its own mandated local housing elements. This latest overreaching effort forces cities to approve transit-oriented development projects near specified transit stops - up to seven stories high and a density of 120 homes per acre - without regard to the community's needs, environmental review, or public input.
Most alarmingly, SB 79 defies cities' general plans and provides transit agencies unlimited land use authority on property they own or have a permanent easement, regardless of the distance from a transit stop. Transit agencies would have the power to determine all aspects of the development including height, density, and design, without any regard to local zoning or planning.
This broad new authority applies to both residential and commercial development. Transit agencies could develop 100% commercial projects - even at transit stops - and not provide a single new home, while simultaneously making the argument that more housing must be constructed around transit stops.

As currently drafted, SB 79 will not spur much-needed housing construction in a manner that supports local flexibility, decision-making, and community input. State-driven ministerial or by-right housing approval processes fail to recognize the extensive public engagement associated with developing and adopting zoning ordinances and housing elements.
California will never produce the number of homes needed with an increasingly state-driven, by-right housing approval process. What we really need is a sustainable state investment and local control. The state's housing crisis cannot be solved by a one shoe fits all approach that removes local control. The City of Anderson has its own unique challenges with aging infrastructure, unique zoning, and a more rural setting. It is best that all cities are given local control to figure out the best solution. For these reasons, the City of Anderson strongly opposes SB 79.

California State Capitol, Room 407
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB 634 (Perez) Homelessness: civil and criminal penalties Notice of OPPOSITION (As Amended 03/26/25)
Dear Senator Durazo,
The City of Anderson opposes SB 634 (Perez), which would prohibit local jurisdictions from adopting or enforcing ordinances to address homelessness. While we recognize the bill's intent, SB 634 would severely limit cities' ability to respond to the growing homelessness crisis in communities across California.
Cities are implementing balanced approaches that protect both the rights of individuals experiencing homelessness and the broader community's needs for clean, safe, and accessible public spaces. SB 634 hinders this progress by prohibiting local governments from adopting any regulation, policy, or guidance that imposes civil or criminal penalties on a person experiencing homelessness. By eliminating all enforcement mechanisms, SB 634 gives people the right to stand, sit, lay, sleep, or put up a tent in any public place.
Cities have been sued by business owners for allowing encampments to block access to businesses and by disability rights advocates over encampments that have obstructed sidewalks and public spaces. Without the ability to use civil or criminal enforcement remedies, cities would face increased legal liability and more importantly, have no meaningful way to respond to urgent health and safety concerns. The City of Anderson recognizes that we must remain focused on connecting unhoused residents to housing and services, but cities also need basic tools to meet their legal obligations and protect public spaces.
SB 634 also directly contradicts cities' efforts to address encampments in response to the Governor's November 2024 executive order. The order directed state departments and City Council
1887 Howard Street
Anderson, CA 96007

Fax: (530) 378-6648
agencies to adopt policies to address homeless encampments on state properties and encouraged local governments to adopt similar policies or risk losing access to state homelessness funding. Cities want to help the state to realize our shared vision of reducing homelessness and supporting our most vulnerable residents. However, SB 634 leaves cities without any enforcement tools, hindering cities' ability to carry out the Governor's directive and jeopardizing state funding cities receive to address homelessness.
Local jurisdictions are already working within a complex and evolving legal landscape, including recent federal court decisions like Johnson v. Grants Pass, which clarified constitutional limits on how cities can address homelessness through enforcement actions.
In response to the Grants Pass ruling, the Governor stated:
"Today's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court provides state and local officials the definitive authority to implement and enforce policies to clear unsafe encampments from our streets.
This decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years and limited their ability to deliver on common-sense measures to protect the safety and well-being of our communities."
SB 634 directly undermines this decision by stripping local governments of the authority to tailor enforcement strategies to their unique circumstances. It also disregards the years of legal effort cities have invested to gain the clarity now provided by the Court.
The City of Anderson urges the Legislature to support policies that empower local governments to act with compassion and urgency - not tie their hands behind their backs.
SB 634 does not reflect the nuanced, community-led solutions that are showing promise across the state. For these reasons, the City of Anderson must oppose SB 634 (Perez) Sincerely,

RE: SB 7 4 (Seyarto) Infrastructure Grants
Notice of SUPPORT
Dear Senator Seyarto,
The City of Anderson is pleased to support SB 74 (Seyarto), which seeks to establish an infrastructure gap-fund program to provide much-needed grants to local agencies for the development and construction of critical infrastructure projects.
As California's local governments continue to grow, so does the need for reliable and sustainable infrastructure. However, many local governments struggle to fund essential projects due to financial constraints, making it difficult to meet the demands of our residents and businesses. Senate Bill 74 will help bridge this funding gap by offering grants that support roads, bridges, water systems, and other vital infrastructure, ensuring safer and more efficient communities.
The devasting fires across the state and most recently in Southern California have shown vulnerabilities in our local infrastructures. Investing in public infrastructure is crucial to preventing fires and protecting lives. Adequate funding for fire-resistant building materials, modernized electrical grids, and well-maintained roadways ensures that both public and private spaces are safeguarded against potential fire threats. Furthermore, upgrading water supply systems, such as expanding hydrant networks and improving water pressure, is essential for effective firefighting efforts.
Beyond fire prevention, improved infrastructure enhances emergency response times and community resilience. Well-maintained roads and bridges allow first responders to reach City Council

emergency sites more quickly, while investments in communication systems ensure timely coordination between emergency services. Additionally, incorporating fire-safe designs in public buildings, schools, and transportation systems not only reduces the likelihood of fires but also protects vulnerable populations.
The City of Anderson believes that investing in local infrastructure is crucial for economic development, job creation, and public safety. By supporting SB 74, the State of California is making a commitment to strengthening our communities and ensuring that local agencies have the necessary resources to complete much-needed projects.
For these reasons, the City of Anderson is pleased to support SB 74 (Seyarto).

California State Senate
1021 0 Street, Room 6510
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB 496 (HurtadQ) Advanced Clean Fleets.
Notice of SUPPORT (As introduced 2/19/2025
Dear Senator Hurtado,
The City of Anderson is pleased to support SB 496 (Hurtado), which would create an Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) Appeals Advisory Committee, ensure disaster service workers are able to effectively respond to emergency situations, and provide some much needed and common-sense reforms for compliance.
The ACF sets ambitious compliance deadlines for fleets to transition to an increasing proportion of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs). The ACF's ZEV transition requires access to adequate utility infrastructure for alternative fueling such as EV charging, as well as access to ZEVs that operationally can deliver the full spectrum of important and highly specialized services that fleets provide (many which are vital to the health and safety of Californians).
While the ACF allows that fleets may request exemptions granting compliance flexibility in cases where, for reasons beyond their control, fleets cannot meet the compliance timetables, the ACF does not provide clarity on how such exemption requests are to be evaluated and decided upon, nor does it provide a process for any administrative review of exemption request denials by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
SB 496 establishes an Appeals Advisory Committee by which local agencies may request a review of exemption request denials. Allowing a formal appeals process ensures transparency while protecting due process for those seeking further review. In cases where a regulation allows for exemptions and extensions, best practices necessitate an appeals process. Such a process can be particularly helpful and impactful by offering clear and City Council

Anderson, CA 96007

feasible pathways to compliance without diminishing CARB's authority as this Appeals Advisory Committee would only operate in an advisory role.
Additionally, SB 496 would update the emergency vehicle exemption, allowing those vehicles that respond to and support critical operations related to emergencies and disasters, often under austere conditions, to continue to protect our communities. Our frontline workers and the communities they serve rely on vehicles that must be able to do the job the emergency dictates, even when the power is out. Especially given the rising toll of natural disasters in our state, we must prioritize the safety of our communities and the public servants that work around the clock through these unprecedented events.
Also, SB 496 modifies the requirements of the daily usage exemption, removing barriers for the applicant to comply with the mandate.
Finally, this measure promotes affordability in the midst of rapidly rising cost pressures on essential local services by averting the costly acquisition of ZEVs before it is possible to install the infrastructure required to use them. The infrastructure needs to be in place before the vehicles can be purchased.
SB 496 will create much-needed improvements to the ACF while protecting the health and safety of Californians, avoiding unnecessary costs and assisting cities comply with the ACF without being penalized for factors beyond their control.

2025 Cost Allocation Plan and Citywide Fee Study Proposal
I RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Receive a Staff Report;
2. Review the proposal from Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Service Agreement with Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC for the 2025 Cost Allocation Plan and Citywide Fee Study
!FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of this agreement shall not exceed $32,750.00 without prior approval from the City Manager. This cost will be funded through the General Operations Fund with 25% being incurred this fiscal year and the remainder being budgeted in fiscal year 2025-26.
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City's costs associated with processing various types of permits, applications, and service requests have increased since the last fee increase. The Building Department fees were last updated by Resolution 11-06, which the City Council approved on February 1, 2011. Historically, when new versions of the California Building Codes were adopted, fees for building permits and building plan check services, along with updated hourly rates, were reviewed and, if necessary, adjusted. Since 2011, new California Building Codes have been adopted numerous times, but fees for these items have not been updated.
ITEM 8.3b PAGE1 4/15/2025
The Engineering Department fees were last updated by Resolution 96-57, which only amended a small subsection of the fees originally adopted by Resolution 89-31. Outside Consultants for the roles of City Engineer and City Surveyor augment the Engineering Department; these consultant costs are not accounted for in the fee schedule. On average, for a property line adjustment, the City spends $1,000 and only recovers $150, as per the approved fee schedule.
The Planning Department recently performed a fee update in 2020, approved by Resolution 20-30. Like the Engineering Department, the Planning Department is supplemented by consultants; these consultant costs are not included in the fee schedule.
There are currently items that are not included in the fee schedule that staff perform, such as addressing requests for new construction or a change of address, which has no cost recovery.
The Recreation Department fees have been updated at different times on an as needed basis. In 2023 the City set a fee of $50 for the summer camp program, which was originally free. Recovery & Cost Specialists will assist the City in creating a policy for cost recovery based upon the different recreational programs that are offered whether they are for adults or children.
Revenue & Cost Specialists proposes to begin with a comprehensive review of all services, permits, and applications that are being charged a fee or could be charged a fee. Once that is completed, fully burdened hourly rates for employees will be calculated to ensure that the fee covers the staff time or consultant rate. The next step is to conduct the fee study and generate a proposed fee structure for the City Council's review. The timeline for their overall evaluation and proposal to City Council will take approximately 6 months.

Proposal - Cost Allocation Plan & Citywide Fee Study
Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC (RCS) appreciates the opportunity to respond with this proposal to develop a Cost Allocation Plan and Citywide Fee Study. We have been providing fee studies and other costing services since 1980, making us the first and foremost expert in costing services for California. RCS' skill set will generate maximum accountability for the City of Anderson. We have a history of delivering quality reports with defensible data that can be acted on and adopted.
Our processes are straightforward, analytical and require minimal staff time. In the end, we ~ strive to ensure that the City of Anderson will be able to confidently stand behind the information and recommendations in the Report. As former city staff ourselves, we understand how Anderson operates, what you want, and that your time is precious.
Based in California, we can provide timely support to City staff for years to come. The terms of this proposal will be honored for 90 calendar days from the date of submittal. Please contact Eric at (714) 992-9027 or [email protected] with any questions.
Sincerely,

ANDERSON PROJECT TEAM
While all RCS principals have worked independently on projects, Eric Johnson will be the project manager involved with the City of Anderson, and Chu Thai will provide off-site analysis and support.
RCS assigns two principals for several reasons. Often, both principals will attend the public hearing because two are better than one at convincing the policy makers. Two principals allow us to discuss high-level issues for each project. Most important to RCS, we want our principals to build long-term relationships with all our clients.
RCS may assign additional specialists to the project to help maintain the proposed schedule and ensure the quality of the product. For the sake of continuity, only RCS principals will interact with City staff, as our specialization and expertise will allow staff to focus on other City functions. We thoroughly understand and will be involved in every phase of the fee study, advising City staff when necessary.
RCS resumes for the project team are included in this proposal on the following pages.

FIRM'S EXPERIENCE AND REFERENCES
RCS HISTORY
Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC (Taxpayer ID No.
330787781) was founded in 1980 by two former City
Managers and a Finance Director who, after the passage of Propositions 13 and 4, discovered that user fees were a legal option to recover lost municipal revenues. Four decades later, RCS continues its focus on cost allocation and fee calculation services.
After the passage of AB 1600 in 1988, our company added impact *
fee calculation services to help municipalities finance public facility expansion. In those early years, RCS principals published articles and presented at conferences, helping California municipal employees understand how fees work. Our early work is the foundation of how fees and cost allocation plans are calculated today.
In 2000, RCS created Government Software Systems to develop robust costing software that serves fee calculation needs better than spreadsheets. Our company has provided additional services to municipalities that include long-range financial planning, accounting procedures and utility rate studies.
RCS continues to thrive through repeat business, referrals and references. As a small business, RCS takes only a handful of new clients each year, allowing us to spend substantial time with them. In 2025, RCS celebrates its 45th year in business and is looking forward to another 40 plus years of partnering with municipalities.
QUALIFICATIONS
RCS' principals make up the Limited Liability Company, which has been financially stable since the company started. Combined, RCS principals have over 100 years of experience in cost allocation plans and fee studies and served over 250 municipalities. We have provided these services for a wide array of public agencies, from the smallest special district to larger and more complex cities and counties. Though based in Orange County, we engage in projects throughout the State of California.
RCS principals specialize in:
• User Fee Studies
• Cost Allocation Plans
• Development Impact Fee Studies
• Special Financial Management Studies and Reports
Proposal for Cost Allocation Plan and Citywide Fee Study Page/ 8
These specializations allow RCS to focus on every aspect of municipal fees and be the best of what we do. We are confident in our project time estimates and do not respond to RFPs when the project workload exceeds our capacity. We have suggested new fees that are not common practice throughout the state and have challenged and removed municipal fees that were not defensible. We have assisted municipalities in streamlining their fee-based processes.
All RCS principals have prior city experience, serving as analysts, managers or directors. We are all knowledgeable in fund accounting, department structures and municipal services. We stay current on pending financial and legal issues that challenge municipalities. All principals are comfortable speaking with city staff at all levels, drafting reports and resolutions, and presenting them to the public, stakeholders and City Council members.
Eric Johnson, President, has streamlined and perfected the process of CAP and User Fee Study engagements. With over 35 years and hundreds of studies completed, Eric has created a superior process that demands little staff time while obtaining maximum results. Eric quickly understands complex city services and how to calculate fees for them. He relates well with elected officials because he responds with candor and brevity. If you speak to any of Eric's prior or current clients, they will tell you how easy the process was.
Chu Thai, Partner, joined RCS after 25 years of municipal experience. As a budget manager and finance director, Chu has successfully coordinated user fee increases, impact fee increases, utility rate increases and tax ballot measures. His experience helps clients avoid the unseen perils that jeopardize municipal projects. After project completion, Chu leaves behind well-documented reports and spreadsheets for City staff. The focus of his career has been to improve cities' financial stability and implement operational effectiveness and efficiencies in local government.
Scott Thorpe, Senior Vice President, joined RCS in 1985. Before that, he spent 13 years at the cities of Chula Vista, Covina, Anaheim and Brea, serving in various roles within the city manager's offices. Scott performed user fee studies for several years, transitioning to development impact fees when AB 1600 went into effect. He has written articles laying out the fundamentals of impact fees, and his work has generated tens of millions in fee revenues for cities.
Rick Kermer, Partner, was one of the founders of RCS. Rick used his CPA and audit experience to build cost allocation and user fee spreadsheets and software that passes rigorous analysis and reporting accounting standards. Rick's work is the foundation of all the fee study work offered today. He is now semi-retired, taking only a handful of projects each year.

METHODOLOGY /PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Anderson wants to identify the full costs of all operational services that are either currently charged a fee or could be charged a fee.
RCS will first update the City's Cost Allocation Plan
(CAP), which is necessary in calculating the fully
burdened hourly rates for employees and is an
effective way to distribute the overhead costs to other funds, departments, and the end-user services. Our
Cost Allocation Plan is powerful in capturing the
maximum overhead charges to enterprise funds. If
excluded from this Citywide Fee Study, RCS will use
the City's prior Cost Allocation Plan.
Next, RCS will perform the fee study, reviewing the
staff time and program costs involved with each
service and calculating the full cost of services for each fee.
The proposed fee structure will recover these costs in the most equitable and efficient way possible. The user fees will represent how operations are conducted in the City, and may involve flat fees, deposits, valuation-based fees, step-increase fees, or a combination of these.
The eventual fee recommendations included in the final report and master fee resolution will be defensible, easy to understand, and be supported by City staff.
The most important part of our work is performed through a series of focused meetings with staff. Scheduled meetings commit staff to the timeline and ensure that our study draws from the most knowledgeable person on the subject matter. A series of meetings also gives City staff time to digest and reflect on the information generated. RCS uses only company principals with more than 25-plus years of experience to conduct these meetings, which makes the process quicker and the results more accurate. Our process provides the City with well-documented and defensible service costs that will be used to develop fees that comply with Propositions 4, 218 and 26.
We also identify 100% of the staff time on 100% of the services they provide. This gives City staff a complete perspective on their time allocations instead of merely looking at time allocations for individual services in a vacuum. These methods will ensure that City staff feels confident about the data and, therefore, confident in supporting the results in public hearings.
The other key result of identifying 100% of City services is that we are identifying not only the cost of fee services, but of community-supported services, such as public safety, street and park maintenance services. This allows us to have a real discussion with real numbers with the City Council about tax subsidy policy. Since we are identifying the full costs of fee services, we are also identifying the current subsidy of general tax dollars for these services.
Therefore, we can show the City Council how much fee services are subsidized at the expense Proposal for Cost A/location Plan and Citywide Fee Study Page/ 10
of community-supported services. Does the City want to continue to use precious tax dollars to support, for instance, a bathroom remodel and permitting inspection that only benefits a particular property owner or use those tax dollars on things that can only be supported by tax dollars, like police patrol and park maintenance? They will now have that information to be able to make that conscious choice.
Changing the discussion from fee increases to tax subsidy policy along with RCS' experience in successfully presenting the results of similar studies to City Councils ensures that the City will be able to meet its policy objectives.
RCS will provide the City of Anderson with the requested printed and electronic copies of the final versions of the Cost of Services Study and Cost Allocation Plan, including related schedules and cost documentation in a format that can be edited and updated by City staff to accommodate desired changes.
In the past five years, there have been no previous failures or refusals to complete a contract.
RCS makes it a point to follow through on tasks and establish clear lines of communication.
By maintaining open communication and being flexible with any challenges that come up, RCS aims to display our dedication to completing every contract we take.
Project Kick-Off
Task 1: Prepare City Data
RCS will review and prepare necessary files for the project. This includes obtaining and reviewing prior user fee reports and fee schedules, line-item budget details, salary schedules, MOUs and fringe benefit details.
Task 2: Kick-off Meeting
RCS will conduct a Citywide meeting, explaining the operational methodology of the study and the role of staff. We will review any possible issues that may arise as well as answer any questions from staff about the process. This meeting is crucial for the process as we want to ensure that everyone understands the various steps in the process and what is expected of them.
Cost Allocation Plan
Task 1: Identify Central Services and Allocate Staff Time RCS will meet with various departments to identify and review central services and allocate staff time and costs for those services. Examples of central services include payroll, risk management, and facility maintenance. City staff time involved in the meetings would be approximately 1-2 hours per central service department.
Proposal for Cost Allocation Plan and Citywide Fee Study Page/ 11
Task 2: Develop Allocation Factors
RCS will meet with City staff to develop the allocation factors for each central service identified in the above task. These factors will form the basis for determining fully burdened hourly rates and allocating central service costs. This meeting will be concurrent with the time allocation meeting. Though City staff involvement in data gathering is a function of the availability of the required information, RCS will develop allocation factors that are easily reproducible from year to year but still equitably allocate central service costs. RCS will calculate allocations to the functional centers and review the results with the managers of the various central service departments.
City staff time to review the results of the allocations will be less than 1 hour per department.
Task 3: Prepare and Review Draft Cost Allocation Plan with City RCS will prepare a Draft Report with allocations to end user departments using our 20-step allocation model. RCS will review this Draft Report with the City's management, making any necessary adjustments to ensure that costs are allocated properly.
Task 4: Prepare Final Cost Allocation Plan
RCS will then prepare a Final Report with allocations to end user departments. These results will be used for the general overhead component of the Fee Study and can also be used to determine the amounts for transfers to the General Fund for support provided to other funds. RCS will provide the City's requested number of printed copies, as well as a PDF file of the Overhead Cost Allocation Study. RCS will also provide a computer-based model for adjusting these fees and charges for the City's current and future needs, providing an electronic copy of the final study that can be edited and updated as needed. RCS will consult with City Staff as necessary to defend the cost allocation plan in the event of audits or other challenges.
Proposal for Cost Allocation Plan and Citywide Fee Study Page/ 12
User Fee Study
Task 1: Review the Service List with Staff
RCS will review the service list through meetings with City staff. We will also work with Departmental staff to determine any changes to the fee calculation methods. The end result, whichever method is used, will be a fee structure that best fits the City going forward. While this list will change during the course of the Study as it is refined, it will be the initial basis from where we start. City staff time for this review will be approximately 1 hour per department.
Task 2: Staff Time/Contract Cost Allocations
RCS will interview personnel providing end-user services to ensure that costs from all functional areas directly involved with a service are included in the cost of that service. This component will form the bulk of the time spent by staff. There will be two to four meetings with supervisory level staff in each functional area to create and verify the amount of time spent by staff on the services identified in the task above.
We do not ask City staff to do our job by filling out forms detailing how they spend their time. This interactive process, and the fact that we allocate 100% of all departmental staff, ensures that the information being generated is valid and reliable.
Total time commitment per department varies from 2-20 hours, through a series of working meetings.
Task 3: Develop Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
RCS will develop a fully burdened hourly rate for each City employee, including salaries and benefits, miscellaneous operating services and supply costs, citywide overhead and departmental overhead.
Task 4: Prepare Draft Report
RCS will prepare a Draft Report that identifies the total costs for each service, along with current fees, and makes fee recommendations for each service presented as well potential new fees for services the City provides but does not charge for. Service costs will be compared with existing recovery levels. RCS will review this report with the departments so that each will have input on the fees presented in the Final Report.
City staff time would be approximately 1-2 hours per department for those departments that have fee services.
Task 5: Prepare Final Report
Based on staff input, RCS will prepare a Final Report, which will have recommendations for new fees, subsidy percentages and revenue projections from those fees. The Report will include text and summary tables that will clearly explain the results and the context. All recommended fees will comply with Propositions 4, Proposal for Cost Allocation Plan and Citywide Fee Study Page/ 13
218, 26 and any other applicable laws. RCS will provide the requested number of copies and a Microsoft Word and PDF file of the Final Report. Any Master Fee Schedule revisions will also be made available in Word, Excel and/or PDF formats.
RCS will provide a computer-based model for adjusting these fees and charges for the City's current and future needs, providing an electronic copy of the final study that can be edited and updated as the need arises and allowing for the requirements referred to in the City's RFP. RCS will consult with staff as needed to defend the fee study in the event of audits or other challenges.
Task 6: Survey Similar Municipalities
RCS will survey other municipalities and document the findings. The survey summary would compare similar fees for services at different cities, however our results cannot explain why the fees differ.
Task 7: Present Report to the City Council
RCS will assist City staff, the City Council and any Committee in the review and adoption of revised service fees and subsidy percentages, at up to three public meetings. RCS will assist City staff in the implementation of the revised service fees.

Our experience has determined that the use of video conferencing is more flexible in scheduling meetings, permitting City staff to quickly access reports and files on their computers, and allowing everyone to view and discuss the same documents at the same time. Department meetings will be 30 minutes to two hours each.
We would be on-site to present the report at all City Council meetings.
CLIENT INPUT
RCS will make every effort to advise, seek input from and, in general, explain the work as it is being performed. For a project to be completed successfully, we depend on dedicated and engaged staff participation. Most of the staff participation is to attend working meetings with RCS. There will be no "homework" to be completed and returned to us.
The City should also designate a Project Coordinator for the fee study who will:
1) Identify key City staff and coordinate the kick-off meeting(s) 2) Assist in obtaining requested information
3) Coordinate the review of draft reports, and
• 4) Provide project direction if needed
