EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

STUDY OVERVIEW
The City of Bell has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study. California cities regularly conduct these studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services.

Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.

USER AND REGULATORY FEES
Cities derive annual revenue from a number of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by the City for providing fee -related services an d ac tivities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying th e fee .

California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee-related services and activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees ch arged shall not exceed th e estim ated reasonable c ost of providing th e services , activities, or materials for which fees are charged.

At its conclusion, this study proposes for City Council review and consideration at public hearing a new Schedule of User and R egulatory Fees for application in Fiscal Year 2024 -2025 and continued update in subsequent years.

COST RECOVERY POLICY AND PRACTICE
Recovering the costs of providing fee-related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.

The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involveme nt in the individual action, a fee for servic e en sures that th e individual bears m ost, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that servic e . When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.

Generally, fees for service are targeted to full cost rec overy, inclusive of operating, direct, indirec t, and c apital costs, exc ept in cases wh ere the City Counc il cites a public interest in lower fees . The City may also be influenced by market conditions, comparing to municipalities of similar size and service profile.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FINDINGS AND PROPOSED ACTION
During the course of study, information and analysis was generated and is discussed substantively throughout this report and its technical appendices. However, summarized in the following table by broad fee category and highlighted in the subsequent findings statements, are outcomes and proposals of particular interest to City leaders and policymakers.

PRIMARY OUTCOMES
 BUILDIN G F EES
• Building fees are collected to recover the costs associated with plan review, permitting, and construction inspection for new and remodeled buildings and other structures. The City’s building fees were most recently adjusted in FY 2023-24. • The City’s adjusted building fees are anticipated to recover approximately 100% of the City’s cost of service. No additional adjustments are proposed. • Full cost recovery is targeted from proposed fees.
• No new building fees are proposed

 PLANNING F EES
• Due to the nature of development within California, many projects take a significant amount of resources over a multi-month and potentially multi-year timeframe, depending on project complexity and magnitude.
• Full cost recovery is targeted from most proposed fees due to the regulatory nature of the fees and the high level of direct benefit resulting from construction activities including enjoyment of property enhancements, increased property values, and the des ire to avoid having other Bell residents and businesses subsidize an individual's private construction activities.
• The City may adjust fees and enhance cost recovery, without positioning itself as a regional outlier.

 ENGINEERIN G F EES
• Engineering and encroachment permit fees are collected to recover the costs associated with improvement plan review, permitting, and construction inspection along with review and inspection of work conducted within the City right-of-way. • Current cost recovery varies by fee and ranges from 35% to 85%. • Full cost recovery is targeted from proposed fees.

 FILM PERMIT F EES
• Adjust film and photography structure to reflect differing levels of city support required to authorize and administer commercial filming and still photography within the City.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 PARKS AND RECR EATION FEES
• Parks and Recreation Departments throughout the State are facing significant challenges. o Increases in labor, benefit, utility costs, services and supplies, and insurance related costs
o Providing access to facilities and programs that are safe to use and align to community standards (health and safety).
o Minimum wage increase in excess of 25% since 2019.
• Fees are generally proposed to be adjusted by approximately 1 0%. Amounts are rounded for administrative efficiency. The proposed adjustments are simply intended to reflect the impact of recent changes in labor and regional cost inflation. If fees are left unchanged in an environment of increasing costs, the City’s cost recovery levels deteriorate.

 POL ICE FEES
• Police Fees have been recalibrated to reflect current costs of service and State limits for certain fee-related services. The City’s Police Services are funded predominantly through tax revenues.

 TRAN SPORTATION FEES
• Fees are proposed to be adjusted by $1 - $3 per month. Amounts are rounded for administrative efficiency. The proposed adjustments are simply intended to reflect the impact of recent changes in labor and regional cost inflation. If fees are left unchanged in an environment of increasing costs, the City’s cost recovery levels deteriorate.

 ADMINISTR ATIVE F EES
• Administrative fees have been recalibrated to reflect current costs of service and State limits for certain fee-related services.

FISCAL IMPACT
The primary purpose of the adjustments to the City’s fee schedule is to correlate fees to services provided. At this time there is no anticipated fiscal impact. The City’s current and proposed fees seek to recover the City’s full cost of service for new development within the City and avoid cost recovery deterioration for non-development related fees.

Please continue to the following technical report and appendices for further discussion of this User and Regulatory Fee Study.

FEE COMPARISON
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and will remain within the range of amounts charged by other LA County jurisdictions.

overall body of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Widespread industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues for services of broader community benefit.

PREVAILING GUIDANCE
The objectives of this study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of outcomes and recommendations for future consideration were significantly influenced by Article 13C of the California Constitution and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.

Article 13C states that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Additionally, Article 13C identifies the following as items that are not defined as taxes:
 A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.  A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.  A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication th ereof.  A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property.
 A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law.
 A charge imposed as a condition of property development.  Assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.

Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits; building inspections; building permits; …the process ing of maps under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act…; or planning services…; those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.

The outcomes and recommendations of the study are intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a result of this study are not taxes as defined in Articl e 13C of the California DRAFT

Constitution and that the proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees. Additionally, this report is intended to show that the manner in which the costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.

METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES
This study calculated the estimated reasonable cost of providing various fee -related services across the City organization. Generally, the estimated reasonable cost of providing the fee-related services and activities examined in this study can be calculated as the product of the composite fully-burdened hourly labor rate of the division responsible for providin g services and the estimated labor time required to process a typical request for service.

The composite fully-burdened hourly rates calculated in this study are based on the estimated annual hours spent providing fee related services, and estimated labor, services and supplies, and Citywide overhead expenditures, sourced as follows:
 Labor expenditures for in -house personnel were based on budgeted salary and benefits expenditures.
 Contract service personnel and other services and supplies related costs were based on Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budgets and anticipated costs and current industry market rates for service.
 Citywide overhead cost allocations were developed to assign a reasonable share of central service support to the City’s direct service units.
 Estimated labor time spent providing fee related services were developed based on interviews with City staff and are in-line with typical direct service ratios experienced by the consultant via studies of similar municipalities throughout California. Commonly used industry data also aided in the development of time estimates and proposed fee structures.

Once cost of service levels are identified, the City may use this information to inform targeted cost recovery from fees. Fees set at the cost of service target full cost recovery. Fees set at any amount less than the cost of service target less than full cost recovery.

An illustration of the methods used in this analysis is shown in Exhibit 1.

IMPLEMENTATION

CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
If the City decides to adopt or otherwise utilize outcomes generated through this study, it should:

 Update Systems for Fee Outcom es - Ensure that City staff begin using updated fees and associated outcomes once the updated schedule of fees becomes effective. Values should be included in all official fee schedules used throughout the City (e.g., departmental pamphlets, counter schedules, and online information). Additionally, ensure collections processes are updated, which may include coding in billing systems and training for personnel who handle fees directly with the public.
 Actively M onitor th e Use of F ees - In order to recover accurate and eligible amounts expected, the City should be diligent about tracking time to projects for time and materials billings and ensuring fees are applied in the correct amount and using the correct and intended basis for fixed fee billings.
 Monitor F eedback and Perm it Statistics - Monitor permit and application volume and applicant feedback to determine if fee modifications are resulting in any unanticipated changes in project frequency and to increase the level of detail available for revenue forecasting.
 Annually R eview an d Adjust F ee Values - In order to generally maintain pace with regional cost inflation and/or the City's salary cost inflation, the City should adjust its fees on an annual basis. A commonly used, reasonable inflation index is the annual change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) representative of the region.  Periodic ally Perform Comprehen sive An alysis - A comprehensive fee study should be conducted periodically (e.g., every three to five years) to ensure fee levels remain at or below legal limits and are consistent with evolving service practices and local conditions.
