QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT
Third Quarterly Update for Fiscal Year 2024-25
CITY OF
Additional financial information available here
CURRENT FINANCIAL CONDITION
The city remains well positioned to ensure
continuity of services and public safety and
to provide for the ongoing investment in
street improvements and capital projects
aimed at maintaining and enhancing the
city’s infrastructure. Sufficient fund balances
are available for operations and investment in
reserves for the general plan amendment,
snow removal and equipment replacements.
This report will provide an overview of the
financial activity for the first nine months of
the fiscal year compared to the budget and
prior year. As the end of the fiscal year
approaches, the revenue and expenditure
trends through March are used to project
expectations through year end and to prepare
the budget for the coming year.
The discussion that follows will review the
city’s core operating fund, the General Fund,
as well as the various Special Revenue Funds
which provide essential resources for street
maintenance and snow removal efforts in
addition to funding for planned capital
projects, infrastructure enhancements, and
road improvements.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is the City’s primary
operating fund. Revenues are available for
general purposes and are used to pay for
services such as street maintenance, snow
removal, public safety as well as general
operations. As shown in the following chart,
$16.5 million has been deposited into the
General Fund as of March and $16.2 million
has been expended.
The fiscal activity to date is consistent with
expectations. The General Fund Revenues
and General Fund Expenditures sections of
this report will provide additional details
regarding the various components of revenue
and expenditures and will provide insight
into fiscal projections through year end.
General Fund Revenues:
The General Fund has three major sources of
revenue: property taxes, sales taxes, and
transient occupancy taxes (TOT). These
revenues are the city’s primary resources for
funding operations. Major revenues generate
approximately 74% of the budgeted
resources for the General Fund. Of the $16.5
million deposited into the General Fund
through the third quarter, major revenues
generated $12.0 million.
In addition to the major revenues, the General
Fund receives franchise fees, charges for
services including the issuance of permits
and processing of licenses, as well as special
revenues for street maintenance and snow
removal. The table below summarizes the
various resources supporting General Fund
operations.
Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarterly Update for FY 2024-25
Note: Increase in revenue budget is indicative of projected growth in major revenues (Property Taxes, Sales Taxes & TOT).
Property Taxes: The City receives most of
the property tax revenue semi-annually in
December and April. As of March, $3.6
million has been received representing 61.4%
of the budgeted property tax revenue. This is
consistent with the timing of revenue
collections and budget expectations. Looking
ahead to fiscal year end, increased valuations
from property transfers are anticipated to
generate property tax revenues ahead of
budget expectations.
Sales Taxes: Sales taxes are collected at the
time of sale by retailers and are remitted to
the state. The revenue is then allocated to the
local jurisdictions once processed by the
California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration (CDTFA). The $1.9 million
received through March includes tax revenue
collected through the holiday quarter
(December 2024) plus the January advance.
In total, this represents 53.7% of the fiscal
year budget. Collections to date are in line
with budget expectations despite the
disruption caused by the Line Fire which
began in early September. Sales tax revenue
through year end is expected to come in as
budgeted.
Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT):
Remittances are due the month following the
close of the collection period; therefore, TOT
received through March represents payments
for rents collected during the first eight
months of the fiscal year. The TOT rate
through December was 9%. As of January 1,
2025, the TOT rate is now 10%. As discussed
further in the Special Revenue Funds section
of this report, 2% of the TOT received is set
aside in the Measure Y fund for capital
improvements and the remainder is deposited
into the General Fund.
Through March, $6.5 million has been
deposited into the General Fund. This
represents 75% of the $8.7 million budgeted
for the year and is ahead of the $5.9 million
collected at this time last year despite the
Line Fire disruption to the local economy and
the lack of snowfall this season.
Franchise Fees: A significant portion of the
income from franchise fees is received in
April. As a result, the percentage of revenue
collected compared to the annual budget
tends to lag. The Franchise fee revenue
budget anticipated additional revenue
pursuant to an adjustment in electric rates
which was delayed; therefore, franchise fees
are anticipated to come in under budget this
fiscal year. Revenue received to date is
consistent with collections during this same
period last year.
Use of Money & Property: Revenue
received includes interest earnings on
deposits with the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF). Interest rates have remained
higher than anticipated; thus, generating
additional interest income which is pacing
ahead of budget projections at this time.
Operating Transfers: Funds received for
specific purposes are deposited into special
revenue funds and distributed to cover
qualified expenditures. Of the $1.4 million
budget, nearly half is received in the form of
gas taxes distributed through the state
Highway User Tax Account (HUTA). These
revenues are the primary funding source for
street maintenance and snow removal.
Revenue received to date is in line with
expectations and on track to meet projections
through year end.
Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarterly Update for FY 2024-25
General Fund Expenditures
General Fund expenditures for the first six
months of the year are $16.2 million, or
57.8% of the annual budget. Included in the
adopted budget are contributions to reserves
for future vehicle and equipment
replacements, snow removal contingency,
and the general plan amendment. When
reserve contributions are made, available
funds are set aside in a separate account to be
used for the designated purpose, like a
transfer of funds between a checking and
savings account. These budgeted
contributions are simply a resource planning
tool to ensure resource availability and will
not be reflected as an expenditure.
Factoring out the budget for reserve
contributions, expenditures to date represent
59.6% of budget appropriations. The city
uses conservative budgeting practices. For
example, the budget for personnel costs
assumes that all positions are filled
throughout the year; however, vacancies do
exist and result in budget savings. Similarly,
professional and contractual services are
budgeted assuming those services will be
needed all year long; however, the timing of
those expenditures is dependent upon when
services are utilized. Capital outlays and
project funding transfers are made on a
reimbursement basis and will lag project
expenditures. Therefore, expenditures of less
than 75% of the budget at this time of year
are to be expected and are consistent with the
prior year.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Funds which are restricted in use are
separated into special revenue funds.
Waste Management Funds: This Special
Revenue category is comprised of two
operating funds: (1) The Sanitation Fund is
used to account for all activity related to the
maintenance of the sewer system and the
collection and transmission of affluent to the
Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency
(BBARWA) treatment facility. (2) The
Refuse Fund captures all activity associated
with the provision of solid waste services,
hazardous materials disposal, as well as the
administration of regulatory programs and
environmental mandates.
Sanitation (Wastewater):
Through March, $5.4 million has been
deposited into the Sanitation Fund. This
represents 66.9% of the annual budgeted
revenue. Charges for services are the main
source of income supporting the provision
wastewater services and system maintenance.
These charges are collected from residential
and commercial properties via the tax roll and
are primarily received in December and
April. Collections to date are in line with
budget estimates and year end projections.
Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarterly Update for FY 2024-25
When compared to the same period in the
previous year, Sanitation revenues are up
approximately $400,000, or 8.2% which is
indicative of the direct pass through charges
collected on tax roll for treatment of affluent
by BBARWA.
As mentioned in the discussion of General
Fund revenues, interest rates have remained
higher than anticipated in the adopted budget
and are continuing to generate additional
interest income for this fund.
As of the close of the third quarter, the
Sanitation Fund has expended $4.3 million
which represents 47.3% of annual budget.
Due to vacancies, personnel services are
tracking below budget and are anticipated to
remain under budget through year end.
Pass through of BBARWA charges occurs
semiannually in conjunction with the
collection of fees on the tax roll. Therefore,
the $2.6 million or 50.7% has been passed
through as of March which is consistent with
the prior year and budget expectations.
Interfund transfers for capital improvements
occur on a reimbursement basis and are
dependent upon the timing of project
expenditures. These transfers will vary from
year-to-year. As of March, approximately
$500,000 has been transferred to cover
capital expenditures. When compared to the
previous year, approximately $1.1 million
had been transferred due to the timing and
nature of the planned projects. At the close of
the fiscal year, it is common for projects to be
underway. Dependent upon the status of
these projects at year end, the carryover of
budget appropriations may be necessary to
continue project efforts and enable
completion in the following fiscal year.
Refuse (Solid Waste):
To date, $3.3 million has been deposited into
the Refuse Fund which represents 63.7% of
budget which is primarily comprised on solid
waste fees collected on the tax roll. As
described in the Sanitation discussion,
revenues collected via the tax roll are mostly
received in December and April; therefore,
revenues are on track with budget
expectations through March.
Compared to the previous year, revenues to
date have increased approximately
$270,0000 or 8.8%. This is indicative of
charges associated with the solid waste
franchise agreement. These revenues are a
direct pass through to Big Bear Disposal, the
city’s franchise waste hauler.
Budgeted operating transfers are associated
with grant revenue to help offset the cost of
SB1383 implementation of organic waste
compliance measures. The timing of
reimbursement from this grant is subject to
when eligible expenditures are incurred. It is
anticipated that the grant will not be fully
expended by the end of the fiscal year;
therefore, a portion of the proceeds from this
grant will likely be received next fiscal year.
To date, $3.7 million or 71.0% of budget has
been expended for solid waste operations.
This is consistent with budget expectations
and previous year fiscal activities. As
described above, it is anticipated that the
grant funded SB1383 implementation costs
Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarterly Update for FY 2024-25
will be not be fully expended until next fiscal
year. All other solid waste expenditures are
expected to remain on track with budget
through year end.
Transportation Funds: Revenues restricted
solely for street maintenance efforts, road
construction, and transportation purposes are
shown in the table below. These funding
sources are required to be collected in
separate funds and then allocated to cover
authorized expenditures.
The largest allocation of transportation
funding to the city comes from gas taxes
received from the state Highway User Tax
Account (HUTA). Of the $2.4 million
transportation revenue budget, nearly onethird comes from HUTA. This revenue is an essential funding source for street
maintenance and snow removal. HUTA
allocations are received throughout the year
with the largest apportionment received
annually in March. This funding allocation
represents reimbursement for a portion of the
snow removal costs incurred during the
previous season and fluctuates depending on
the severity of the snowfall. This
reimbursement exceeded budget projections
as shown in the table above.
Revenue derived from gasoline and diesel
sales taxes as well as fees for zero emissions
vehicles are collected by the state and
deposited into the Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) for
distribution by the State Controller’s Office
for local road improvement projects. The
RMRA revenue received through March
represents seven monthly allocations totaling
approximately $80,000 or 61.3% of the
budget indicating that RMRA distributions
are on track to meet budget expectations
through fiscal year end.
Local jurisdictions receive an allocation from
the San Bernardino County Measure I halfcent sales tax which is used to fund road improvement projects. As mentioned
previously, sales tax distributions are
collected by retailers and are subsequently
distributed by CDTFA to the various
jurisdictions including the San Bernardino
County Transportation Authority (SBCTA)
who then distributes Measure I funds to local
entities. This distribution process results in a
time lag for receiving agencies; thus, receipts
through March represent six monthly
installments of Measure I proceeds. Most
recent projections received from SBCTA
indicate that Measure I revenue will come in
approximately $140,000 under budget for the
current fiscal year. There are sufficient funds
available in the existing fund balance to cover
budgeted road improvement projects through
year end.
The transportation revenue budget includes
an annual contribution of $500,000 from
Measure Y TOT supporting the free trolley
service offered by Mountain Transit
Authority (MTA). Contributions are made
monthly in accordance with the grant
agreement between the city and MTA.
As of March, transportation funding of $1.5
million has been received representing 62.3%
of the budget. In total, transportation funds
are expected to come in slightly under budget
by approximately $30,000 or 1.2%.
Comparing budget expectations to the
previous year, there is a planned reduction in
transportation funding. This is indicative of
the fluctuations in HUTA revenues received
for eligible snow removal costs which vary
depending upon the timing and magnitude of
the storm activity.
Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarterly Update for FY 2024-25
Miscellaneous Funds:
As TOT revenue is received, 2% is
earmarked for capital improvements and
infrastructure enhancements. This set aside
was initiated as a result of the 2008 voter
approved Measure Y which authorized a 2%
increase in the TOT rate and an advisory
measure, Measure YY, recommending the
additional funds to be preserved for this
purpose. Since that time, these local funds
have been an essential funding source for the
city’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Of the $2.5 million in anticipated Measure Y
TOT revenue, $1.9 million or 78.4% has been
received through March. This represents tax
on rents collected for overnight
accommodations during the first eight
months of the fiscal year. This is consistent
with the prior year receipts through March.
Budgeted grant proceeds represent funding
awarded to the city for eligible expenditures.
Approximately one-third of the budgeted
revenue has been received to date. Grant
proceeds are primarily received on a
reimbursement basis; therefore, receipts are
dependent upon when expenditures are
incurred.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS
The current budget includes an appropriation
of $14.2 million for planned street and capital
improvements. As shown in the following
chart, these projects receive funding from a
variety of sources including special revenues,
grant proceeds and locally generated
revenues. Approximately $8.7 million, or
61%, of the planned CIP expenditures will be
funded with local revenues from the General
Fund and Measure Y TOT.
The CIP budget includes the twenty-four (24)
identified projects programmed into the
adopted budget for streets, facilities, parks,
and trails, as well as sanitation infrastructure.
With winter weather conditions, the City’s
construction cycle is seasonal in nature. As a
result, appropriations for work in progress at
the close of the previous fiscal year are
incorporated into the current budget along
with any new projects approved since the
start of the fiscal year. The table below shows
the budget appropriations by type as well as
the expenditures through March.
In total, $7.6 million, or 53.0% of the current
budget, has been expended. As we emerge
from the winter season, construction projects
will resume. The timing of expenditures is
dependent on when progress payments are
made and when projects are completed.
Expenditures to date are consistent with the
project expenditures incurred during this
same period last year and are in line with
budget expectations.
Preliminary design and planning efforts are
being utilized to develop project estimates for
potential future CIP investments. As part of
the annual budget, the CIP serves as a
resource planning tool and will be updated to
evaluate potential funding sources for
identified projects over the next five years.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers:
I am pleased to present a balanced OperaƟng Budget and Capital Improvement Program for the City of Big Bear Lake for Fiscal Year 2025-26 (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026).
The total City budget amounts to $65.6 million with the General Fund budget at $26.0 million, designaƟng $1,050,000 in reserve contribuƟons, and a full Ɵme employee count of 72 budgeted posiƟons.
The budget theme for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget can best be described as the year of Resiliency. The previous fiscal year budget theme was Return on Investment; in doing so, those and future investments need to be resilient. Big Bear Lake’s beauƟful four seasons, weather, seasonal tourism, and uƟlity infrastructure can be significantly tested in our community, creaƟng a difficult environment to navigate. By strengthening and invesƟng in the City’s financial foundaƟon through conservaƟve forecasƟng and responsible and efficient spending, the City has definitely seen a Return on Investment, through posiƟve growth of the City’s fund balance and revenues conƟnuing to show posiƟve returns. The City has also invested in local businesses through dedicated economic development resources with a focus on support and programs. These fiscal commitments directly improve and enhance the City’s overall infrastructure. As we look to the future, it is important to remember while Big Bear Lake has a stunning landscape, we need to ensure that Resiliency is a priority to maintain that landscape.
Strategic PrioriƟes
As we approach the FY 2025-26 budget, it is important to revisit the strategic prioriƟes that the City Council iniƟated in the FY 2023-24 budget process and have revisited every budget process thereaŌer. These prioriƟes set the goals of the City Council, City Manager, and City staff; objecƟves are incorporated into the budget to achieve these strategic prioriƟes. As you can see, we have iniƟated some new objecƟves and have provided status on all objecƟves.
FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget May 14, 2025 6
As we draŌed the budget for FY 2025-26, City staff reviewed the objecƟves and prioriƟes to determine if any changes were needed. The previous year’s strategic prioriƟes deferred the General Plan Update process to FY 2025-26. While the City has conƟnued to set aside dollars in past budgets to fund this required update, this deferment afforded City staff to focus on the implementaƟon of a new permiƫng system. The City is on track to go live with this new permiƫng system in late summer of 2025. This system will significantly enhance the end user experience when pulling a City permit - through 24 hour access, real Ɵme informaƟon, online submiƩal process for blueprints, online payment process, and most importantly, the end user will be able to print their permit via the new portal.
FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget May 14, 2025 7
This budget includes funding for public safety, conƟnued prioriƟzaƟon of the quality of life in our residenƟal communiƟes, the ongoing investment in the City’s Capital Improvement and Maintenance Projects, providing economic development support to the City’s business community, advancing the City’s communicaƟons, and the ongoing implementaƟon of technology improvements to provide more efficient services.
City staff have conƟnued to focus on maintaining the quality of the services they provide to the public, while minimizing expenses and adding efficiencies wherever possible. As a result, the City’s operaƟng posiƟon conƟnues to be posiƟve and available to address forecasted cost increases; while the City has commiƩed to focusing on funding reserves so they are available to offset any future economic downturn while sƟll being responsive to our residents' needs and providing the best services possible. The City conƟnues to operate with staff vacancies and remains commiƩed to delivering essenƟal City services. I would like to thank City Council and City staff for their commitment to the City and its ciƟzens.
Economic Outlook
The City’s economic outlook conƟnues to look favorable. We saw the economy expanding during the last three fiscal years, however there are new forecast consideraƟons:
Interest rates
Tariffs
Consumer spending
Increased ConstrucƟon Costs
Tourism & Business Travel
FluctuaƟng Gas prices
The City conƟnues to see increases in its property and transient occupancy tax revenues, while sales tax remains healthy. The annual outlook for sales tax forecasts moderate growth, approximately a 3.5-5% increase; restaurants and hotels are forecasƟng approximately 1.5-2.5% growth.
These areas of economic growth compliment the City’s significant revenue sources and conƟnue to contribute posiƟvely to improving the outlook for the City of Big Bear Lake. It is important to note, the City remains cauƟous in our budget forecasƟng, knowing these posiƟve trends can change relaƟvely quickly. The City is commiƩed to maintaining a strong fiscal foundaƟon and will remain conservaƟve in our fiscal acƟons and forecasƟng.
The Budget
The City is seeing its “Resiliency” with a number of items included in this year’s budget: appropriate staffing levels to beƩer serve the community, enhanced transparency and communicaƟon, ongoing commitment to improving infrastructure, review of uƟlity needs, dedicaƟon to wildfire miƟgaƟon, and conƟnued fiscal responsibility. City Management prioriƟzes maintaining a posiƟve operaƟng posiƟon to absorb anƟcipated cost increases and effects of any inflaƟonary impacts.
FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget May 14, 2025 8
The City realizes potenƟal future cost increases may occur and will maintain a conservaƟve financial posiƟon. As part of the development of the FY 2025-26 budget, staff conƟnually seek opportuniƟes to improve City services and maintain adequate staffing levels. These acƟons are summarized in following paragraphs by category below:
Staffing: City Management conƟnually assesses all City Departments; in an effort to idenƟfy redundancies and gain operaƟonal efficiencies while being proacƟvely responsive to the current needs of the organizaƟon. The City is diligent in evaluaƟng vacancies to determine the priority in the recruitment process to compliment the effecƟve delivery of City services. The Staffing secƟon of the budget document contains addiƟonal FTE informaƟon.
CompensaƟon and Benefits: The City and the employee associaƟon conƟnue to have a fantasƟc relaƟonship and the City Council adopted a three year MOU (ending June 30, 2026) that is a fair and a balanced package that compliments the City’s budget while reflecƟng a fair investment in City staff. The City will revisit the MOU in early 2026, any financial impacts will be presented in fiscal year 2026-27 budget process.
Pension: Pension actuarial contribuƟon rates for FY 2025-26 will be slightly less than the prior year based on the June 2024 actuarial reports.
The payments are anƟcipated to remain mostly flat over Ɵme as SBCERA conƟnues to pay down past unfunded liabiliƟes. Maintenance: While costs conƟnue to rise due to a number of factors, the City is allocaƟng $6.1M to ensure exisƟng capital assets are properly maintained extending the asset lives and lowering future replacement costs. Capital Projects: PrioriƟzed projects in the proposed $9.9M budget include Moonridge Road and Rathbun Drive RehabilitaƟon, Rathbun Creek Trail, Performing Arts Center Improvements, and investments in the City’s sewer and sanitaƟon infrastructure.
The City's budget conƟnues to allocate resources to address public safety. These costs are dedicated to quality of life issues within the City. Key Public Safety costs include:
San Bernardino Sheriff's Department (SBSD): The FY 2024-25 Police Services contract amount of $6.0 million increases in FY 2025-26 to $6.3 million. This increase is contributed to cost of living. Neighborhood PreservaƟon/Code Enforcement: These two programs together total $2.0 million and address quality of life issues, the implementaƟon of BeauƟfy Big Bear Lake, year round parking enforcement, and other municipal code services.

Accomplishments
There have been a number of key accomplishments in FY 2024-25 including: compleƟng the Castle Rock Trailhead Parking Lot Project, economic development support through the City’s Small Business Façade Improvement Program, conƟnued investment and expansion of the City’s summer concert series and holiday events, the launching of the City’s first app, Big Bear Lake 365, complete remodel of the Performing Art Center’s restrooms with ADA compliance features, and the reconstrucƟon of Summit Blvd.
Summary
In FY 2025-26, we will conƟnue to focus on implemenƟng the City Council's strategic prioriƟes while maintaining a balanced budget, providing quality services to the residents, and implemenƟng the adopted Capital Improvement and Maintenance Program. Over the next fiscal year, City staff will be seeking ways to improve the City’s resiliency on all levels.
I am very fortunate for the support of the City Council and their leadership, with an amazing City staff, this City is in a great posiƟon to do great things. As always, the City stands ready to address next year's challenges and opportuniƟes knowing we are resilient and can take on anything thrown our way.

MEETING
DATE: June 12, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
THROUGH: Erik Sund, City Manager
FROM: Kelly Ent, Deputy City Manager / Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Award of Contract – Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
State and local governments commonly charge user fees to fund the provision of goods and services. The amount of user fees charged may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services. In establishing the fee amount, it is appropriate and reasonable to factor in the expense of the direct services which includes employee labor and benefits, supplies, materials, etc., as well as any indirect expenses such as overhead costs. Government organizations must have objective cost allocation plans to support indirect costs estimated for user fees that are periodically reviewed and updated.
The City’s current user fee schedule is based on a user fee study dated February 27, 2002. The City awarded its last Cost of Services plan in 2000, and implemented the new fee structure in 2002, which included Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments that were applied in the first few years.
With those adjustments factored in, user fees have not been updated since 2006.
The City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) on April 3, 2024, seeking proposals from qualified professional firms with proven experience to conduct a Comprehensive User Fee Study (Fee Study) and Cost Allocation Plan (CAP). The purpose of the requested study is to ensure the City assesses appropriate fees and rates that will allow the City to recover the actual costs incurred for fee-related services.
The scope of services requested in the RFP includes reviewing and updating all fees and charges for services provided by the city, as well as recommending additional fees. The study will evaluate the cost of providing each service and ensure a reasonable relationship between the cost and the current service fees. The goal is to recover the actual costs incurred for fee-related services and develop user fees that comply with Proposition 26, Proposition 218, and other applicable statutory requirements. The study will also compare rates and fees with similar cities and identify best practices in establishing user fees.
The proposal received by Matrix Consulting Group, Ltd. meets the mandatory elements which require the firms to be independent and free of conflicts of interest with the City, Department of Water (DWP), and Fire Protection District (FPD). City staff evaluated the proposal based on the cost of services to be provided, approach to working with City staff, timing to accomplish services requested, overall experience, client referrals, and the ability for City staff to internally update the Item 1.1
Attachment 2
cost allocation rates and user fees in future years.
Based on the evaluation of proposals, it is recommended that the City Council approve the professional services agreement with Matrix Consulting Group, Ltd. with a fixed not-to-exceed total contract cost of $49,990.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal year 2024-25 budget appropriation includes the cost for professional services to support a comprehensive user fee study and cost allocation plan. No additional appropriation is being requested as the approved budget supports the cost of the contract.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
This action has no impact pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
CONSIDERATION OF STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This item aligns with Strategic Priority Goal No. 1, to “ensure fiscal responsibility.”
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution Awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Matrix Consulting Group, Ltd. to Conduct a Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan.

Dear Ms. Ent:
The Matrix Consulting Group, Ltd. is pleased to have this opportunity to submit a proposal to conduct a Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan for the City of Big Bear Lake. While the City has included a Development Impact Fee Study scope of work within its RFP, we will not be including that service in our proposal, due to the City’s lack of updated facility and master plans. This proposal is based on our review and understanding of the City’s Request for Proposals.
We understand the importance of establishing documented and defensible studies to recover direct and indirect costs. We have conducted over 300 cost of service studies, mostly in California, and have been providing this service to our client for over 21 years. Our experience in providing similar services and understanding of the impact and implementation issues comes from working with clients across California, including Adelanto, Blythe, Calimesa, Downey, Glendale, Manhattan Beach, Menifee, Port of Long Beach, Redlands, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
At Matrix Consulting Group, we distinguish ourselves from our competitors through our commitment to delivering unparalleled value. Our staff thoroughly understand service and process assumptions behind the cost of service. This dual expertise allows us to provide comprehensive insights and solutions that optimize efficiency and maximize our clients’ value.
I am the firm’s President, authorized to negotiate on its behalf and bind it contractually.
Courtney Ramos, a senior vice president and financial services practice leader, can clarify information in this proposal during the review process. We can be reached at the address and phone number below or via email at [email protected] and [email protected].

2 Experience and Technical Competence
This section of our proposal provides an overview of our firm and relevant experience, including references, as well as an introduction to the proposed project team.
Introduction to the Matrix Consulting Group
The Matrix Consulting Group specializes in providing analytical services to local governments to assist them in providing highly responsive, efficient, and effective services to their residents. Our firm’s history and composition are summarized below:
• We are a corporation, incorporated in the State of California in 2003, and have our headquarters there (the Bay Area) and regional offices in Irvine (CA), Edwardsville (IL), the Dallas Metroplex (TX), Portland (OR), and the Tampa (FL) area. • We are comprised of 28 full time and seven part time highly experienced management consultants who specialize in the analysis of local government functions encompassing the entire spectrum of critical operational areas. We have a dedicated financial services team.
• We have worked with over 1,700 government agencies, conducting cost of service and management studies and providing recommendations for operations, improvements, and cost recovery.
• The market and service focus of the Matrix Consulting Group has always been financial, management, staffing, and operations analysis of local government. The following outlines the core financial services provided by our firm:
OMB 2 CFR Part 200 Cost Plans User Fee Studies
Full Cost Plans Development Impact Fee Studies
Indirect Cost Rate Proposals Fully Burdened Hourly Rates Internal Service Fund Analyses Revenue Projections
No other firm better understands how public agencies operate or how to help them thrive.
Cost Allocation Plan Experience
Our firm has extensive experience developing Full Cost and OMB compliant Cost Allocation Plans, as well as Indirect Cost Rate Proposals for various municipal organizations across the United States. Whether we are working with large cities, small towns, special districts, or individual departments, our goal is to document and define the services being provided, and accurately allocate costs to all beneficiaries. The following points highlight our experience with developing cost allocation processes and metrics:
Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 3
• Administrative Functions: Our firm has extensive experience in evaluating processes and functions associated with Finance, Human Resources, and Purchasing. From basic tasks and responsibilities to process improvement and oversight controls, our project teams can:
- Identify core service functions, such as payroll, employee benefits, budget preparation, agenda, and Council support.
- Review current data metrics, and work with staff to ensure resulting allocations are appropriate, fair, and equitable.
- Recognize services that are not in direct support of departments, including land acquisition and stewardship, and ensure they are accurately identified, but not further allocated.
Our project teams understand the core services associated with administrative functions, as well as the time associated with process completion, and are adept at helping staff determine daily, weekly, monthly, or annual time spent on a task.
These assumptions form the core basis of a cost allocation plan, and should be defensible not only through documentation, but also by City staff. • Governmental Functions: The Matrix Consulting Group has worked with and been a part of managerial studies relating to Manager and Legal services. Additionally, we have extensive experience working with, and presenting to various boards, councils, subcommittees, and the public. Our understanding of the various types of services provided allow our project teams to assess what services are best for allocation, including:
- Categorizing services and support that benefit the City as an organization, such as contract negotiation, and approval of internal policies. - Identifying services that benefit the City economically, such as lobbying, and economic development, which should not be allocated.
Our team understands how these costs can and should be treated in both a Full Cost Plan and OMB compliant plan, including making staff aware of common practices, as well as aggressive allocation options.
• Internal Services: The Matrix Consulting Group has significant experience evaluating services and functions associated with facilities maintenance, fleet services, and information technology. While these services can be part of the general fund or internal services, their allocation is important when trying to understand the indirect costs associated with any fund, department, or program.
Our project teams work with these departments to:
Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 4
- Review existing allocation processes and metrics to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations.
- Determine if newer metrics, or metric alterations could provide more accurate allocations.
• Indirect Cost Rate Proposals: Our firm’s experience with indirect cost rate proposals ranges from developing citywide proposals to departmental and divisional proposals. We look at all indirect costs related to the service and program area, determine if it is allowable and then set up the indirect cost rate calculation. Based upon the jurisdiction’s rate methodology we are versed in provisional, fixed final, and fixed carry forward rates. We work with our clients to review rates, outline appropriate applications, and customize templates based upon cognizant agency guidelines.
Our project team members are well versed in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines for cost allocation, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and best management practices outlined by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) relating to cost allocation and cost recovery. We are committed to ensuring that all cost centers being allocated comply with state and local laws, use fair and equitable allocation metrics, and are documented and defensible.

User Fee Study Experience
Our firm has extensive experience conducting comprehensive user fee studies for a variety of municipal organizations and departments. When conducting comprehensive user fee studies, the focus is often on Community Development (building, planning, and engineering) and Parks and Recreation services. The following points highlight our experience in these areas:
• Community Development: Our firm has extensive experience in evaluating development review permitting functions for Building, Planning, Engineering, and Fire Prevention. From the basic process steps for submitting, reviewing, inspecting, and approving applications and permits to development of processes, procedures, and cost recovery goals, our project teams can address topics as:
– The best metric for assessing fees, such as building valuation, square footage, construction estimate, or number of fixtures.
– Appropriate deposit amounts, guidelines, and processes to ensure actual cost recovery is achieved.
– Setting fees at levels that both recover costs but are not cost prohibitive. – Cost recovery and implementation options for support services including General Plan Updates, Technology Fees, GIS, etc.
Beyond understanding processes and assessing time estimates provided, our project teams are aware of the cross-departmental support associated with application and permit services. These costs are included in the full cost calculation and can be expressed as part of the established fee or a separate fee. • Parks and Recreation: The Matrix Consulting Group has worked with every type of recreation function, including traditional parks and recreation, libraries, and open space preserves. Our experience spans master and strategic planning, park condition assessments, and program staffing and cost recovery. Our project teams are well versed in the areas that most impact cost recovery, including:
– The best use of a tiered recovery approach, such as resident versus nonresident, or profit versus non-profit. – Setting fees according to the cost recovery pyramid to ensure that premium services have a higher cost recovery.
Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 6
The goal in reviewing parks and recreation costs for service, is to ensure that fees and rates are set at a level that allows the City to continue to serve the community in a manner consistent with current goals and commitments.
Our firm also has extensive experience in calculating cost of services for administrative functions such as Finance and City Clerk, as well as public safety services relating to Police, Fire Prevention, and EMS.
All our cost of service and user fee studies are developed in compliance with California State regulations including Propositions 218 and 26, as well as government codes 66014 and 66016 which stipulate that user fees charged by local agencies “…may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged”.

3 Proposed Method and Timing
The Matrix Consulting Group works with various clients ranging from small towns to major metropolitan cities in over 46 states across the U.S. and Canada. Every project is unique but is managed according to the following essential project approach:
The above approaches allow us to provide services to our clients that not only meet their needs and adhere to state and local guidelines but also educate staff about uses and applications of fees and provide guidance for future updates or increases.
Quality Control
We believe very strongly in the science of our craft, especially as it relates to cost allocation and cost of service studies. As such, our firm utilizes quality control techniques which include:
• Project Management: Ensuring our projects meet the needs and timelines of our clients are accomplished through the following:
- The project manager and lead analyst develop general and project specific data collection plans and interview guides.
- All project work activities are defined in advance and tied to each project team member, deliverables, the schedule, and the budget. - We have frequent client review meetings to discuss the quality and direction of the project through interim deliverables and draft documents.
Understanding City-specific financial data.
Working collaboratively wtih City staff through meetings and workshops.
Applying industry standards, best management practices, and technical expertise for cost allocation and user fee application.
Calculating defensible results with buy-in from internal and external stakeholders.
Providing recommendations and transferring knowledge and work products to City staff for successful implementation.
Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 14
• Numerical Results: Financial analyses are used to develop budgets and projections, and often are subject to public oversight and review. For this reason, our firm ensures data determined quality control through the following:
- Expenditure data entered into cost models are tied to budget documents. - Allocation metrics are tied to published reports / data outputs and workload is used to cross-check true cost associated with services.
These project management approaches have resulted in all our projects being delivered at a high level of quality, on time and on budget.
Work Plan
The City of Big Bear Lake is requesting three scopes of work: 1) Cost Allocation Plan; 2) Comprehensive User Fee Study; and 3) Development Impact Fee Study. We are only proposing to bid on two of the three scopes of work – the Cost Allocation and User Fee Studies. We are foregoing bidding on the Development Impact Fee Study due to the City’s lack of current (within the last five years) data such as development project projections, and master plans for facilities and infrastructure. The unavailability of these materials makes it difficult to establish a strong nexus for impact fees in compliance with new regulations relating to AB602.
The Cost Allocation and Fee Study scopes of work can be conducted concurrently as there are economies of scale that can be achieved by conducting them in this way. The following subsections outline the tasks broken out by Project-Wide Tasks, Cost Allocation Plan Tasks, Comprehensive User Fee Study Tasks, Development Impact Fee Study Tasks.
Project-wide Tasks
The following tasks would be conducted for all scopes of work.
Task 1 Data Collection
Prior to any initial meetings, the Matrix Consulting Group will provide the City with a list of initial data requirements for the study. This will allow our project team to review this information thoroughly in preparation for initial discussions with staff. A common list of data collection items include:
• Budgeted Expenditures per Fund and Department.
• Staffing per Fund and Department.
• List of current fees to be included in the scope.
Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 15
• Copy of any previous studies / analyses.
• List of comparable jurisdictions for the comparative analysis.
The provision of these items will allow our project team to familiarize themselves with the City’s structure.
Deliverable List of basic data requirements for the Study Meetings None
Task 2 Study Objectives and Project Schedule
Once the data has been collected, the project team will then meet with designated City staff to discuss any issues identified by the project team, as well as to clarify any existing issues or concerns held by the City regarding the current user fee study and impact fee study methodology. Discussions will include:
• Review of the City’s specific needs and critical issues surrounding development and implementation of the cost allocation and fee study. • Opportunities for improvement and restructuring of previous fee analyses. • Discussion of cost recovery goals and targets, as well as infrastructure needs.
At the culmination of the meeting, the project team and the designated City staff will leave with a greater understanding of the overall approach and methodology that will be taken by the project team to conduct the cost allocation and comprehensive fee study.
Deliverable Project Schedule
Meetings Kickoff
Task 3 Excel-Based Models and Training
The City of Big Bear Lake has requested an excel-based model for updating the cost allocation and user fee study. Our Excel-based models would provide the ability for the City to adapt and continuously update results from year to year as the organization changes.
After the final drafts are approved, at the discretion of City staff, the project team would meet with and train designated City employees on use of the models. Staff will be provided with training, which walks through the model tabs, includes instructions tab in the model, a user guide for the cost allocation model, and discusses specific customizations made for the City.

Cost Allocation Plan Tasks
The City of Big Bear Lake is interested in developing a Cost Allocation Plan to capture the indirect costs associated with direct programs and services. The plan's results will provide the city with the direct and indirect costs associated with the operations of its services, as well as fully burdened hourly rates by staff position. The City is interested in both a Full Cost Allocation Plan, used as overhead in fee studies and reimbursement from non-general fund sources, and an OMB Compliant Cost Plan used for reimbursement for federal and state grants. The following provides an overview of the tasks to be conducted, deliverables, and any meetings.
Task 1 Interview Staff and Gather Allocation Metrics
The project team would review the City’s budget and financial structure to identify City departments and services to be allocated. To structure a custom cost allocation model, our project team would perform the following:
• Review and discuss the accounting (fund and organizational levels) structure of the City based upon the budgeted expenditures to identify any anomalies from previous years.
• Identify and meet specific central services departments to develop allocation bases and ensure that the plan reflects the following aspects:
- All current services provided by the Department are identified and documented within the Cost Allocation Plan.
- Allocation bases discussed to be utilized are reflective of the current level of effort and most relatable to the service being performed.
The following is a sample flowchart visually representing the discussion outcome, the first level is the central services department, the second level is the identified service category, and the third level is the basis by which costs will be allocated:
Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 17
• Discuss alternative allocations, including outcomes and potential impacts.
The points above provide examples of the types of detailed and in-depth discussions that the project team will have with City departments involved in the cost allocation process.
At this point in the process, the project team would reach out to each department and ask for specific allocation metrics such as purchase orders, invoices, sq. ft. per facility, etc.
Deliverable Allocation Metric Requests from Support Departments Meetings 1 Meeting per Support Department
Task 2 Review of Draft Cost Allocation Metrics
Based on the units of service identified in Task 1 and the allocation metrics collected, the project team would put together allocation statistic workbooks for review with specific central service departments. The purpose of these workbooks is to review the initial results of the allocation metrics gathered by the project team. The following graphic shows an example of the allocation workbook:
Fund Dept Desc
# of AR Transactions
per Fund/Dept Allocation %
1 10 City Manager 3 0.87%
1 16 Human Resources 30 8.75%
1 20 City Attorney 30 8.75%
1 30 Police 68 19.83%
1 35 Fire 1 0.29%
1 40 Development Services 7 2.04%
1 50 Public Works Streets 5 1.46%
1 50 Public Works Facilities 1 0.29%
1 50 Public Works Community Services 185 53.94%

In the sample graphic provided, based on the number of AR Transactions per fund/department, the primary support is for Public Works Community Services (54%) for all the Parks and Recreation transactions, followed by Police (20%). Based upon the results of this sample, the project team would verify with Finance that the statistics were allocated to the appropriate fund/department and that the resulting percentage is reflective of the support being provided by the Accounts Receivable staff and function.
This type of detailed review is critical for the development of a defensible cost allocation plan. It also ensures that departmental staff and City staff are comfortable with the use of the allocation metrics and the support that those metrics represent.
Deliverable Draft Allocation Workbooks
Meetings 1 Draft Allocation Meeting per Department
Task 3 Structure and Prepare Draft Full Cost Allocation Plan Once the central service departments and administrative functional areas have agreed upon, the appropriate allocation metrics for services, allowable administrative or other indirect costs are allocated to each benefiting department, operating unit, or fund. At this point the project team would begin customizing the Cost Plan to ensure methodologies and assumptions comply with Federal regulations and general accounting principles.
During the development of the cost allocation plan, the project team will ensure that any expenses included in the plan are vetted and reviewed with Finance staff, as well as incorporate any direct reimbursements. The results of the draft cost allocation plan will be provided to staff in numerical format in Excel prior to the development of a draft report.

Task 4 Finalize the Cost Allocation Plan
Upon review and approval of the draft cost plan by central service departments and the Finance Department, the project team will finalize the Cost Allocation Plan and report.
The final deliverables associated with the Cost Allocation Plan will be:
• Cost allocation plan report: including all detailed allocation schedules, cost schedules, summary schedules, and narrative information regarding the central services included.
• Excel summary schedule: the results of the full cost allocation plan in Excel format for ease of calculations, incorporation into City documents, and review by staff.

Task 5 Structure Draft OMB Cost Allocation Model
The City is also interested in the development of an OMB 2 CFR Part 200 Compliant Cost Allocation. The OMB Compliant Cost Allocation Plan has the following key requirements:
1. Expenditures Allocated: The OMB 2 CFR Part 200 must be based upon the most recent fiscal year’s audited actual expenditures.
2. Types of Services Included: Services such as lobbying, legislative costs, and certain Treasurer costs, cannot be included in the OMB 2 CFR Part 200 plan.
The draft 2 CFR Part 200 Compliant Cost Allocation Plan will provide clear documentation regarding the basis for allocations, and the methodologies applied to achieve the plan’s final result. The Draft Cost Allocation Plan will be discussed and reviewed with each participating department as well as City staff to ensure appropriate metrics and expenditures have been included.

Task 6 Draft OMB Cost Allocation Plan Report
Upon approval of the excel draft results of the cost allocation model, the project team will put together a Cost Allocation Report. This draft report will include a narrative description of all City departments and services included in the cost plan and the methodology used to allocate those services. In addition to the narrative portion, the excel portion will be included identifying how each cost was allocated.

Task 8 Develop Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The project team will calculate fully burdened hourly rates inclusive of direct and indirect costs. The following points highlight the cost components and factors included in fully burdened rates:
• Direct costs: This component accounts for salary and benefits associated with each employee or position and is reflective of staffing and salary reports provided by the City.
• Indirect costs - departmental: This component accounts for operational services and supplies which are used in the execution of job duties. This cost component is developed through analysis of services and supply budgets. • Indirect costs - citywide: This component accounts for citywide support such as Finance, HR, and Attorney support provided by other city departments. This cost component is derived from the Cost Allocation Plan.
Additionally, we will review MOU’s or labor agreements and talk with staff to determine appropriate productive hour calculations. This reduction in available hours will ensure that fully burdened hourly rates account for leave accruals (holiday, vacation, and sick), as well as any meetings or trainings. The results of this analysis will be fully burdened hourly rates by position.
Deliverable Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (Full Cost & OMB) Meetings Meeting to Discuss Hourly Rate Assumptions
Task 9 Present the Final Report to Key Stakeholders
While Cost Allocation Plans are typically not presented to Council or external stakeholders, the project team would work with the City to determine the appropriate group to present the results of the cost allocation plan, as well as discuss implementation options.

Comprehensive User Fee Study Tasks
The City of Big Bear Lake is requesting a comprehensive fee analysis. The purpose of these studies is to ensure compliance with existing state rules and regulations as well as future pending state rules and regulations. The following tasks provide an overview of the level of detail utilized to conduct the comprehensive fee study.
Task 1 Develop a Schedule of Current and Potential Fees for Service The project team will work with staff to review their current fee schedules in line-item detail. This meeting is critical in ensuring staff can incorporate any updates or changes to the fee study based on code, regulation, staffing, process, or technological changes.
The focus of this meeting will be the following:
• Renaming fees: Rewording or renaming fees to identify services more clearly. • Eliminating fees: Removing any outdated services or fees. • Adding new fees: Capturing any new services or breaking out existing fee categories to identify all the services being provided by City staff more clearly and identify potential fees for services that the City would like to provide. • Recategorization of fees: Collapsing or expanding multiple fee ranges to better capture the services provided. For example, eliminate lot ranges or acreages if those do not impact the review amount, but add categories based upon the approval level (i.e., Council vs. Director level).
It is important to note that this meeting occurs first to ensure that any significant proposed structural changes are captured prior to collecting time estimate information or developing draft fee results. However, there is the ability to make future adjustments.
Deliverable Proposed Fee Structure(s)
Meetings Fee Structure Meeting
Task 2 Conduct Time Data Gathering Workshops
The project team will conduct workshops to gather time estimates for each service included in the study, interview key personnel from each department, and analyze the various activities being performed. Below is an example of the steps involved in permit processing and the time associated with each step.
Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 22
Basic process steps in application/permit processing will be documented and provided in detail for each department / division represented in the study. The project team will try to minimize the impact on staff by incorporating any baseline assumptions from prior city studies.
The project team will conduct multiple time estimate workshop(s) for each department / division included in the study, and the workshop results will be Excel-based workbook(s) that staff can review. Staff will be provided time for any edits or comments on time estimate information.
Deliverable Time Estimate Workbook(s)
Meetings 2-3 Time Estimate Workshops
Task 3 Perform Total Cost Analysis
The Matrix Consulting Group’s costing model is built based on the City’s operations, budget details, and intended uses for the results. This method is a customized approach specific to each jurisdiction for cost analysis of user fee services. It is a “bottom-up” approach, the most defensible methodology for calculating user fees. The methodology incorporates the time estimate information and fully burdened hourly rate (from cost allocation plan task) information. The following graphic shows the cost calculation:
This costing method uses time and annual activity level data to establish the cost of providing services on both a unit and an annual level. Once the time spent for a fee activity is determined for each individual or position, the team uses its fee and rate software to apply the fully burdened hourly rates calculated in the previous task.
Resulting costs are presented on a unit and annual level and are compared to the existing fee schedule and revenue reports. The City will obtain detailed information regarding cost recovery surpluses and deficits on both a detailed (per unit) and global (annualized) level, as well as an understanding of cost components for each service.

Task 4 Conduct a Market Rate Survey
We will work with the City to identify jurisdictions in San Bernardino County to conduct a comparative survey of fees. This comparative survey activity will include:
• Developing fee scenarios for each department included in the study to be compared to other jurisdictions.
• Graphing the results of the fee analysis for easy visual comparison purposes. • Collecting contextual information such as population size, budget, staffing, last time fee study was done, and last fee schedule update.
As market surveys do not provide adequate or objective information about the relationship between a jurisdiction’s costs and fees, these steps ensure we provide the City with the most information possible.
Deliverable Comparative Graphs (included in Draft Report) Meetings None
Task 5 Review / Revise Fee Study Results
Because the analysis of service fees is based on estimates and information provided by City staff, all participants must be comfortable with our methodology and the data they have provided. Once the department agrees that the analysis reflects the reasonable Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 24
costs of providing services, City management can review the results. At this point, the project team will provide City staff with Recommended Fee Workbooks. The Recommended Fee Workbooks will provide departments / divisions with the fee study results in MS Excel. The following shows an example of the workbook:
Current - Per Unit Results
Fee Title Current Fee Total Cost
Surplus/(Deficit)

As the graphic indicates, the recommended fee workbook allows the City to input information into the Recommended Fee column and see its impacts, such as the dollar increase, percentage increase, and what percentage of their current costs they will recover. Additionally, the workbook allows the City to calculate potential increases or declines in revenue because of the recommended fees.

Task 6 Prepare a Draft User Fee Study Report
Upon conclusion of the fee study, we will prepare a detailed report summarizing the results of each of the previous work tasks described above. This report will include:
• A concise executive summary discussing the study, methodology, results, and narrative describing the services included in the study. • A section on proposed modifications to the current fee schedule, including removal or addition of new fees for service.
Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 25
• A section on per unit and annual results for each fee is included in the analysis, as well as where workload data is available.
• A comparative survey section outlining key fees, their comparison to other local jurisdictions, and contextual information regarding budget, staffing, and when they last conducted fee studies.
The draft report will be provided to City staff for comments.

The master fee schedule will include a numbering system, the department name, the fee title, the unit of application, the current fee, the total cost per unit calculated through the study, the difference, the cost recovery, the relevant rule / regulation that applies to the fee type, the staff recommended fee, and staff recommended cost recovery level. This attachment is extremely helpful as part of the staff report provided to the Council upon adoption.
Deliverable Master Fee Schedule
Meetings None
Task 9 Present the Final Report to Key Stakeholders
The presentation of results to City officials and/or stakeholders is critical to the success of the overall engagement. Because the product from the study is often controversial, the objective of this final step is to present a succinct summary that provides decision makers with key information. The Matrix Consulting Group will attend and present the Study at up to three (3) Committee or Council Meetings, including any fee adoption Proposal for Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Study Big Bear Lake, CA Matrix Consulting Group 26

BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 1
The report, which follows, presents the results of the Cost of Services (User Fee) Study conducted by Matrix Consulting Group for the City of Big Bear Lake, California.
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
The City of Big Bear Lake last conducted a formal fee study in 2000 and updated its fees based on CPI up until 2006, at which point fees were no longer increased. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and determine the full cost (direct and indirect) of providing a variety of city services. Matrix Consulting Group analyzed the cost-of-service relationships that exist between fees for service activities in the following areas: Building & Safety, Business Licenses, City Clerk, Engineering, Performing Arts Center, Citywide Fees, and Planning. The results of this Study provide a tool for understanding current service levels and the cost for those services.
GENERAL PROJECT APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
The methodology employed by the Matrix Consulting Group is a widely accepted “bottom up” approach to cost analysis, where time spent per unit of fee activity is determined for each position within a Department or Program. Once time spent for a fee activity is determined, all applicable City costs are then considered in the calculation of the “full” cost of providing each service. The following table provides an overview of types of costs applied in establishing the “full” cost of services provided by the City:
TABLE 1: OVERVIEW OF COST COMPONENTS
Cost Component Description
Direct Fiscal Year 2025 Budgeted salaries, benefits, and allowable expenditures.
Indirect Program, departmental, clerical, and Citywide support.
Together, the cost components in the table above comprise the calculation of the total “full” cost of providing a service, regardless of whether a fee for that service is charged.
The work accomplished by the Matrix Consulting Group in the analysis of the proposed fees for service involved the following steps:
• Department / Program Staff Interviews: The project team interviewed department / program staff regarding their needs for clarification to the structure of existing fee items or for addition of new fee items.
INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 2
• Data Collection: Data was collected for each permit / service, including time estimates. In addition, all budgeted costs and staffing levels for Fiscal Year 2025 were entered into Matrix Consulting Group’s analytical software model.
• Cost Analysis: The full cost of providing each service included in the analysis was established. • Review and Approval of Results with City Staff: Department management has reviewed and approved these documented results.
A more detailed description of user fee methodology and legal and policy considerations are provided in subsequent chapters of this report.
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
When comparing FY25 fee-related budgeted expenditures with fee-related revenue, the City is underrecovering its costs by approximately $445,000 or recovering 60% of its costs. The following table shows by major revenue source: annual revenue collected, total annual cost, the resulting difference, and cost recovery level.
TABLE 2: ANNUAL COST RECOVERY ANALYSIS
Service Area Total Revenue Total Annual Cost Difference Cost Recovery % Building & Safety $552,822 $598,972 ($46,150) 92%
Planning $60,023 $348,110 ($288,087) 17%
Engineering $59,084 $169,825 ($110,741) 35%
Total $671,929 $1,116,907 ($444,979) 60%
The largest deficit is in Planning, at $288,000. Planning’s deficit is primarily related to Conditional Use Permits and Special Event fees. The differences highlight the disparity between current fees charged and the actual cost of providing services. As such, the City should closely evaluate and modify fees where appropriate to help bridge the cost-recovery gap.
The detailed documentation of this study will show an over-collection for some fees (on a per unit basis) and an undercharge for most others. The results of this analysis will provide the Department and the City with guidance on how to right-size their fees to ensure that each service unit is set at an amount that does not exceed the full cost of providing that service. The display of the cost recovery figures shown in this report are meant to provide a basis for policy development discussions among Councilmembers and City staff and do not represent a recommendation for where or how the Council should act. The setting of the “rate” or “price” for services, whether at full cost recovery or lower, is a policy decision to be made only by the Council with input from City staff and the community.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR COST RECOVERY POLICY AND UPDATES
The Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the City use the information contained in this report to discuss, adopt, and implement a formal Cost Recovery Policy, including a mechanism for the annual update of fees for service.
ADOPT A FORMAL COST RECOVERY POLICY
The Matrix Consulting Group strongly recommends that the Council adopt a formalized, individual cost recovery policy for each service area included in this Study. Whenever a cost recovery policy is established at less than 100% of the full cost of providing services, a known gap in funding is recognized and may then potentially be recovered through other revenue sources. The Matrix Consulting Group considers a formalized cost recovery policy for various fees for service an industry Best Management Practice.
ADOPT AN ANNUAL FEE UPDATE / INCREASE MECHANISM
The purpose of a comprehensive update is to completely revisit the analytical structure, service level estimates and assumptions, and to account for any major shifts in cost components or organizational structures that have occurred since the City’s previous analysis. It’s recommended the City adopt the practice of conducting comprehensive analyses every three to five years as this practice captures any changes to organizational structure, processes, as well as any new service areas.
In between comprehensive updates, the City should utilize published industry economic factors such as Consumer Price Index (CPI) or other regional factors to update the cost calculations established in the Study on an annual basis.

MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 4
This section of the report is intended to provide an overview regarding legal rules and regulations, as well as general policy considerations, for fees for service. A “user fee” is a charge for service provided by a governmental agency to a public citizen or group. In California, constitutional laws such as Propositions 13, 4, and 218; State Government Codes 66014 and 66016; and, more recently, Prop 26 and the Attorney General’s Opinion 92-506 set the parameters under which the local government user fees are established and administered. Specifically, California State Law, Government Code 66014(a), stipulates that user fees charged by local agencies “…may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged.”
GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND PHILOSOPHIES REGARDING USER FEES Local governments are providers of many types of general services to their communities. While all services provided by local government are beneficial to constituents, some services can be classified as globally beneficial to all citizens, while others provide more of a direct benefit to a specific group or individual. The following table provides examples of services provided by local government within a continuum of the degree of community benefit received:
TABLE 3: SERVICES IN RELATION TO BENEFIT RECEIVED
Funding for local government is obtained from a myriad of revenue sources such as taxes, fines, grants, special charges, user fees, etc. In recent years, alternative tax revenues, which typically offset subsidies for services provided to the community, have become increasingly limited. These limitations have caused increased attention on user fee activities as a revenue source that can offset costs otherwise subsidized (usually) by the general fund. In Table 3, services in the “global benefit” section tend to be funded primarily through voter-approved tax revenues. In the middle of the table, one typically finds a mixture of taxes, user fees, and other funding sources. Finally, in the “individual / group benefit” section of the table lie the services provided by local government that are typically funded almost entirely by user fee revenue.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 5
The following are two central concepts regarding the establishment of user fees:
• Fees should be assessed according to the degree of individual or private benefit gained from services. For example, the processing and approval of a land use or building permit will generally result in monetary gain to the applicant, whereas Police services and Fire Suppression are examples of services that are essential to the safety of the community at large. • A profit-making objective should not be included in the assessment of user fees. In fact, California laws require that the charges for service be in direct proportion to the costs associated with providing those services. Once a charge for service is assessed at a level higher than the actual cost of providing a service, the term “user fee” no longer applies. The charge then becomes a tax subject to voter approval.
Therefore, it is commonly accepted that user fees are established at a level that will recover up to, and not more than, the cost of providing a particular service.
GENERAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING USER FEES
Undoubtedly, there are programs, circumstances, and services that justify a subsidy from a tax-based or alternative revenue source. However, it is essential that jurisdictions prioritize the use of revenue sources for the provision of services based on the continuum of benefit received.
Within the services that are typically funded by user fees, the Matrix Consulting Group recognizes several reasons why City staff or the Council may not advocate the full cost recovery of services. The following factors are key policy considerations in setting fees at less than 100 percent of cost recovery:
• Limitations posed by an external agency. The State or an outside agency will occasionally set a maximum, minimum, or limit on the jurisdiction’s ability to charge a fee. Examples includes time spent copying and retrieving public documents and / or transportation permits. • Encouragement of desired behaviors. Keeping fees for certain services below full cost recovery may provide better compliance from the community. For example, if the cost of a permit for changing a water heater in residential home is higher than the cost of the water heater itself, many citizens will avoid pulling the permit.
• Benefit received by user of the service and the community at large is mutual. Many services that directly benefit a group or individual also equally benefit the community. Examples include Planning Design Review, historical dedications, and certain types of special events.
The Matrix Consulting Group recognizes the need for policies that intentionally subsidize certain activities. The primary goals of a User Fee Study are to provide a fair and equitable basis for determining the costs of providing services and ensure that the City complies with State law.
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 6
SUMMARY OF LEGAL RESTRICTIONS AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS Once the full cost of providing services is known, the next step is to determine the “rate” or “price” for services at a level which is up to, and not more than, the full cost amount. The Council is responsible for this decision, which often becomes a question of balancing service levels and funding sources. The placement of a service or activity within the continuum of benefit received may require extensive discussion and at times fall into a “grey area.” However, with the resulting cost of services information from a User Fee Study, the Council can be assured that the adopted fee for service is reasonable, fair, and legal. The City will need to review all fees for service in this analysis. Where subsidies are identified, the City should increase the fees to reduce the deficit; where over-recoveries are identified, the fee must be reduced to comply with the law.
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 7
The Matrix Consulting Group utilizes a cost allocation methodology commonly known and accepted as the “bottom-up” approach to establishing User Fees. The term means that several cost components are calculated for each fee or service. These components then build upon each other to comprise the total cost for providing the service. The following chart describes the components of a full cost calculation:
The general steps utilized by the project team to determine allocations of cost components to a particular fee or service are:
• Calculate fully burdened hourly rates by position, including direct and indirect costs. • Develop time estimates for the average time spent to deliver each service included in the study. • Distribute the appropriate amount of the other cost components to each fee or service based on the staff time allocation basis or another reasonable basis.
The results of these allocations provide detailed documentation for the reasonable determination of the actual cost of providing each service.
One of the key study assumptions utilized in the “bottom up” approach is the use of time estimate averages for the provision of each fee-related service. Utilization of time estimates is a reasonable and defensible approach, especially given that experienced staff members who understand service levels and processes unique to the City developed these estimates.
The project team worked closely with City staff in developing time estimates with the following criteria:
• Estimates are representative of average times for providing services. Extremely difficult or abnormally simple projects are not factored in the analysis.
• Estimates reflect the time associated with the position or positions that typically perform a service. • Estimates are reviewed by the project team for “reasonableness” against their experience with other agencies.
• Estimates were not based on time in motion studies, as they are not practical for the scope of services and time frame for this project.

• Estimates match the current or proposed staffing levels to ensure there is no over-allocation of staff resources to fee and non-fee related activities.
The Matrix Consulting Group agrees that while the use of time estimates is not perfect, it is the best alternative available for setting a standard level of service on which to base a jurisdiction’s fees for service and meets the requirements of California law.
The alternative to time estimating is actual time tracking, often referred to billing on a “time and materials” basis. Except in the case of anomalous or very large and complex projects, the Matrix Consulting Group believes this approach to not be cost effective or reasonable for the following reasons:
• Accuracy in time tracking is compromised by the additional administrative burden required to track, bill, and collect for services in this manner.
• Additional costs are associated with administrative staff’s billing, refunding, and monitoring deposit accounts.
• Customers often prefer to know the fees for services in advance of applying for permits or participating in programs.
• Departments can better predict revenue streams and staff needs using standardized time estimates and anticipated permit volumes.
Situations arise where the size and complexity of a given project warrants time tracking and billing on a “time and materials” basis. Matrix Consulting Group has recommended taking a deposit and charging Actual Costs for such fees as appropriate and itemized within the current fee schedule.

MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 9
The motivation behind a cost of services (User Fee) analysis is for the City Council and Departmental staff to maintain services at a level that is both accepted and effective for the community and also to maintain control over the policy and management of these services.
It should be noted that the results presented in this report are not a precise measurement. In general, a cost-of-service analysis takes a “snapshot in time,” where a fiscal year of financial and operational information is utilized. Changes to the structure of fee names, along with the use of time estimates, allow only for a reasonable projection of subsidies and revenue. Consequently, the Council and Department staff should rely conservatively upon these estimates to gauge the impact of implementation going forward.
Discussion of results in the following chapters is intended as a summary of extensive and voluminous cost allocation documentation produced during the Study. Each chapter will include detailed cost calculation results for each major permit category including the following:
• Modifications: discussions regarding any proposed revisions to the current fee schedule, including elimination or addition of fees.
• “Per Unit” Results: comparison of the full cost of providing each unit of service to the current fee for each unit of service (where applicable).
• Annualized Results: utilizing volume of activity estimates, annual subsidies, and revenue impacts were projected where workload was available.
The full analytical results were provided to City staff under separate cover from this summary report.

The Building & Safety Division is responsible for ensuring all new and modified construction within the City adheres to local, state, and federal regulations. The fees examined within this study relate to structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical plan review and inspections. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by Building & Safety.
FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATIONS
In discussions with City staff, the following modifications were made to the current fee schedule:
• Expanded Fees: ‘Commercial / Industrial / MFR - New and TI’ was expanded to include higher valuation scenarios.
• Combined Fees: Staff have proposed combining the fees associated with plan check and inspection of construction permits for both Commercial and Single Family Residential. Therefore, the schedule will only show a singular fee for these services.
• Eliminated Fee: The current municipal code allowed the Building official to charge either 2% of the valuation or a flat $500, whichever is greater. The expansion and codification of a valuation-based table with fee amounts, eliminates the need for this provision. • New Itemized Fees: The City currently uses valuation as the method to assess fees for most of its permits. However, through this process staff are proposing to recognize and name the following services to ensure standardization of permit fees:
‘SFR – New and Addition / Remodel’
‘Mini Split’
‘Whole House Fan’
‘Tankless Water Heater Replacement / Install’
‘Residential’
‘Commercial’
‘Battery / Energy Storage System’
‘EV Charging Station’
‘Accessory Dwelling Unit’
‘Walls / Fences’
‘Swimming Pools & Spas’
‘Bathroom / Kitchen Remodels (non-structural)’
‘Demolition’
‘Siding and/or Stucco Repair’
‘Patio / Carport / Deck / Balcony’
‘City Standard Deck’
‘Fireplace’
‘Signs’
The modifications noted above ensure that the proposed fee schedule better reflects the services being provided by Building & Safety staff.

The fees administered by the Building & Safety Division generally under-recover their associated costs.
The largest under-recovery is for a ‘Construction Permit’ with a base valuation of $1,000,001 - $5,000,000 at $4,440. The smallest undercharge is $0.96 for ‘Each Additional $1,000 or faction thereof between the $100,001 - $500,000’.
CONVERSION OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
Under the City’s current fee structure, plan review and permitting services related to Single Family Residential (SFR) projects, either new or remodel, are assessed fees based on the project’s valuation.
However, in discussions with city staff, it was determined that the driver of staff effort for both plan review and inspection is not the value of the project, but rather it’s size. Therefore, the proposed fee structure looks to evaluate SFR permits based on the size of the dwelling. The following table details the

proposed fee structure and the calculated full cost of providing SFR construction services (including plan check and inspection).

Each Additional 100 square feet or fraction thereof $45.11 5,000+ sq. ft. $6,010
Each Additional 100 square feet or fraction thereof $22.56 The above structure will allow the City to equitably assess permit and plan check fees where the driver is the size of the project, rather than the project’s valuation.
SOLAR PERMITS
Along with creating a standalone fee structure for SFR construction permits, City staff also wanted to establish standalone fees for solar permits that mirror the State’s fee structure.

Based on the prior year’s (FY23/24) workload information, Building & Safety has a deficit of roughly $46,000. The following table shows by major fee category: revenue at current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference.
TABLE 7: ANNUAL RESULTS – BUILDING & SAFETY
Fee Category Revenue at Current Fee Annual Cost Difference Commercial $85,607 $95,735 ($10,128)
Single Family Residential $326,313 $251,298 $75,015
MEP $45,081 $44,048 $1,033
Solar $10,650 $16,962 ($6,312)
Flat Fees $68,281 $157,092 ($88,811)
Fire Support $16,890 $33,837 ($16,947)
Total $552,822 $598,972 ($46,150)
The largest area of subsidy relates to Flat Fees, where approximately $66,000 of the $89,000 deficit relates to ‘Reroof’ permits. The per unit subsidy for these permits is $377, and the City processed approximately 176 of these permits last year. The transition of Single Family Residential permits from a valuation methodology to a square footage-based methodology will ensure elimination of the overrecovery associated with these permits.

There are two typical surcharges assessed as part of the development review process – General Plan Maintenance Fee and Technology fee. Currently, the City of Big Bear Lake does not assess either of these fees. The following subsections discuss the calculation and application of the General Plan Maintenance Fee and Technology Fee and provides comparative context to other jurisdictions.
GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE
A General Plan Maintenance fee is meant to account for updates to the general plan, zoning ordinance, housing elements, and other long-range planning activities that are part of the larger General Plan.
The General Plan Maintenance fee is governed by Government Code Section 66014(b) which states that fees “may include the costs reasonably necessary to prepare and revise the plans and policies that a local agency is required to adopt before it can make any necessary findings and recommendations.” This code states that fees can be charged against zoning changes, zoning variances, use permits, building inspections, and filing applications.
More typically, the fee is charged during the building permit phase to ensure any development project, which gets to that phase, makes enough of an impact to require the need for an update to the Zoning Code or the General Plan. This fee should only be applied to major building permits (i.e., new or remodel / tenant improvements) rather than standalone permits for water heaters or electrical outlets.
The project team took the estimated cost associated with updating the General Plan and Housing Element, divided by the years between updates, to come up with an annualized cost. The following table breaks out by category the components that comprise the total annual cost calculation.
TABLE 15: GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE – ANNUAL COSTS
Task Estimated Cost Years Annualized Cost
General Plan Update $1,000,000 20 $50,000
Housing Element $250,000 8 $31,250
Total Annual Cost $81,250
The annual cost to the City for updating their general plan is roughly $81,000. The two most common methodologies for assessing a General Plan Maintenance fee are:
1. Percentage of Building Permit Fee: This means that the general plan maintenance fee is assessed as a percentage of the total building permit fee assessed to a project.
2. Percentage of Valuation: This means that the fee is assessed based upon the total project valuation.
Even if the City doesn’t utilize valuation for calculating fees, it still must collect that information for SMIP and other state surcharges and can utilize it to determine the General Plan Maintenance fee.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SURCHARGES
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 32
The project team calculated the full cost of the General Plan Fee based upon both methodologies. The following table shows this calculation:
TABLE 16: GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE CALCULATION
Category Building Permit Fee Valuation
Total Annual Cost $81,250 $81,250
Base $554,578 $33,940,627
General Plan Maintenance Fee 15% 0.24%
The calculated General Plan Maintenance Fee can either be applied as 15% of the Building Permit Fee or
0.24% of Building Valuation. The City can choose one of these options to charge as its General Plan Maintenance Fee.
As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of a General Plan Maintenance Fee. Like other comparative efforts, the survey below simply shows the fees charged by the jurisdiction and does not include the basis upon which the other jurisdictions calculated or developed their fee. The following table shows the results of this comparative analysis:
TABLE 17: GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE – COMPARATIVE SURVEY Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Mammoth Lakes $0.20 per sq. ft.
Palm Springs 0.07% of Building Valuation
0.1% of Planning Valuation
South Lake Tahoe N/A
Victorville 10% of Permit Fee
As the table indicates the current fee charged by jurisdictions varies based upon project type and / or building permit. The full cost calculated for the City is higher than all the other jurisdictions surveyed.
However, like other comparative analyses, this only reflects the fee being charged, not necessarily the full cost of those services.
TECHNOLOGY SURCHARGE FEE
A Technology Fee allows a jurisdiction to support the costs associated with its permitting system, staff time for managing the systems, acquiring the system, mobile devices used for permitting, etc.
The project team used knowledge from previous fee studies for cities like Big Bear Lake to estimate annual permit-related technology costs. The costs included in this estimate are the capital costs for a permitting system annualized over 25 years, as well as the annual licensing and maintenance cost paid to maintain the permitting system. The following table shows by cost category the annual cost:
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 33
TABLE 18: TECHNOLOGY SURCHARGE COST COMPONENTS
Item Total Cost # of Years Annualized Cost
Software System $1,000,000 25 $40,000
Annual Licensing and Maintenance $25,000 1 $25,000
Total Annual Cost $65,000
Based upon the software related items needed to maintain the permitting system, annual technologyrelated costs are approximately $65,000.
The most defensible methodology for assessing a technology fee is based proportionately on the percentage of the permit fee, as the greater the permit fee, the more software utilization and storage space is required. Therefore, the project team took the total Technology Annual Cost and divided it by the annual fee-related cost associated with departments who utilize the permitting software (Building, Planning, Engineering, and Fire). The following table shows this calculation:
TABLE 19: TECHNOLOGY SURCHARRGE CALCULATION
Category Technology Fee Calculation
Total Annual Technology Cost $65,000
Total Annual Permitting Costs $1,088,638
Technology Surcharge 6%
Based upon this calculation, the City’s full cost Technology fee would be 6% of the permit fee. Therefore, if a permit fee was $100, the Technology fee collected would be $6; whereas if a permit fee was $1,000; the Technology fee collected would be $60. This type of structure enables the Technology fee to be more proportionately distributed based upon the projects and their impact upon the system.
As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of a Technology Fee. Like other comparative efforts, the survey below simply shows the fees charged by the jurisdiction and does not include the basis upon which the other jurisdictions calculated or developed their fee. The following table shows the results of this comparative analysis:
TABLE 20: TECHNOLOGY SURCHARGE – COMPARATIVE SURVEY

Mammoth Lakes N/A
Palm Springs 0.109% of Building Valuation
0.1% of Planning Valuation
0.109% of Engineering Valuation
South Lake Tahoe N/A
Victorville 4.6% of Permit Fee
As the table indicates the current fee charged by jurisdictions varies based upon project type and / or valuation. The full cost calculated for the City is higher than all the other jurisdictions surveyed. However,

like other comparative analyses, this only reflects the fee being charged, not necessarily the full cost of those services.
SURCHARGE FUND BEST PRACTICES
It is a best practice to collect and account for General Plan Maintenance and Technology surcharges in separate accounts, as doing so ensures compliance with funding requirements, enables appropriate allocation of funds to general plan or technology-related activities, and mitigates any potential issues with the comingling of funds.
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 35
The following sections provide guidance regarding how and where to increase fees, determine annual update factors, and develop cost recovery policies and procedures.
FEE ADJUSTMENTS
This study has documented and outlined on a fee-by-fee basis where the City is under- and overcollecting for its fee-related services. City and Department management will now need to review the study results and adjust fees per Departmental and City philosophies and policies. The following dot points outline the major options the City has in adjusting its fees:
• Over-Collection: Upon review of the fees that were shown to be over-collecting for costs of services provided, the City should reduce the current fee to be in line with the full cost of providing the service. • Full Cost Recovery: For fees that show an under-collection for costs of services provided, the City may decide to increase the fee to full cost recovery immediately. • Phased Increase: For fees with significantly low-cost recovery levels, or which would have a significant impact on the community, the City could choose to increase fees gradually over a set period.
The City will need to review the results of the fee study and associated cost recovery levels and determine how best to adjust fees. While decisions regarding fees that currently show an over-recovery are straightforward, the following subsections provide further detail on why and how the City should consider either implementing Full Cost Recovery or a Phased Increase approach to adjusting its fees.
FULL COST RECOVERY
Based on the permit or review type, the City may wish to increase the fee to cover the full cost of providing services. Certain permits may be close to cost recovery already, and an increase to full cost may not be significant. Other permits may have a more significant increase associated with full cost recovery.
Increasing fees associated with permits and services that are already close to full cost recovery can potentially bring a Department’s overall cost recovery level higher. Often, these minimal increases can provide necessary revenue to counterbalance fees that cannot be increased.
The City should consider increasing fees for permits for which services are rarely engaged to full cost recovery. These services often require specific expertise and can involve more complex research and review due to their infrequent nature. As such, setting these fees at full cost recovery will ensure that when the permit or review is requested, the City is recovering the full cost of its services.
COST RECOVERY CONSIDERATIONS
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 36
PHASED INCREASES
Depending on current cost recovery levels, some current fees may need to be increased significantly to comply with established or proposed cost recovery policies. Due to the type of permit or review or the amount by which a fee needs to be increased, it may be best for the City to use a phased approach to reaching its cost recovery goals.
As an example, you may have a current fee of $200 with a full cost of $1,000, representing 20% cost recovery. If the current policy is 80% cost recovery, the current fee would need to increase by $600, bringing the fee to $800, to comply with proposed recovery levels. Assuming this service is something the City provides quite often and affects various members of the community, an instant increase of $600 may not be feasible. Therefore, the City could take a phased approach, whereby it increases the fee annually over a set period until cost recovery is achieved.
Raising fees over a set period not only allows the City to monitor and control the impact to applicants but also ensure that applicants have time to adjust to significant increases. Continuing with the example above, the City could increase the fee by $150 per year for the next four years, spreading out the increase. Depending on the desired overall increase and the impact to applicants, the City could choose to vary the number of years by which it chooses to increase fees. However, the project team recommends that the City not phase increases for periods greater than five years, as that is the maximum window after which a comprehensive fee assessment should be completed.
ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS
Conducting a comprehensive analysis of fee-related services and costs annually would be quite cumbersome and costly. The general recommendation is that a comprehensive fee analysis should be conducted every three to five years. This allows jurisdictions to ensure they account for organizational changes, such as staffing levels and merit increases, and process efficiencies, code or rule changes, or technology improvements. Developing annual update mechanisms allow jurisdictions to maintain current levels of cost recovery, while accounting for increases in staffing or expenditures related to permit services. The two most common types of update mechanisms are Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) factors. The following points provide further detail on each of these mechanisms:
• COLA / Personnel Cost Factor: Jurisdictions often provide their staff with annual salary adjustments to account for increases in local cost of living. These increases are not tied to merit or seniority but rather meant to offset rising costs associated with housing, gas, and other livability factors.
Sometimes these factors vary depending on the bargaining group of a specific employee. Generally, these factors are around two or three percent annually. • CPI / ECI Factor: A common method of increasing fees or cost is to look at regional cost indicators, such as the Consumer Price Index or Employment Cost Index. These factors are calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are put out at various intervals within a year, and are specific to states and regions.
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 37
The City of Big Bear Lake should review its current options internally (COLA) as well as externally (CPI / ECI) to determine which option better reflects the goals of the Departments and the City. If choosing a CPI / ECI factor, the City should outline which CPI / ECI should be used, including specific region and adoption date. If choosing an internal factor, the City should be sure to specify which factor if multiple exist.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
This study has identified areas where the City is under-collecting the costs associated with providing services. This known funding gap is therefore being subsidized by other City revenue sources.
Development of cost recovery policies and procedures will ensure that current and future decision makers understand how and why fees were determined and set, as well as provide a road map for ensuring consistency when moving forward. The following subsections outline typical cost recovery levels and discuss the benefits of developing target cost recovery goals and procedures for achieving and increasing cost recovery.
TYPICAL COST RECOVERY
The Matrix Consulting Group has extensive experience in analyzing local government operations across the United States and has calculated typical cost recovery ranges. The following table outlines cost recovery ranges by major service area.
TABLE 21: TYPICAL COST RECOVERY RANGES BY MAJOR SERVICE AREA Service Areas Typical Cost Recovery Ranges
Building 80-100%
Planning 50-80%
Engineering 70-100%
Information presented in the table above is based on the Matrix Consulting Group’s experience in analyzing local governments’ operations across the United States and within California and reflects typical cost recovery ranges observed by local adopting authorities. The following graph depicts how Big Bear Lake compares to industry cost recovery range standards.
BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 38
Building is within the typical cost recovery range, while Planning and Engineering are significantly lower than typical cost recovery ranges.
DEVELOPMENT OF COST RECOVERY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The City should review the current cost recovery levels and adopt a formal policy regarding cost recovery.
This policy can be general in nature and can apply broadly to the City as a whole or to each department and division specifically. A department-specific cost recovery policy would allow the City to better control the cost recovery associated with different types of services being provided and the community benefit received.

BIG BEAR LAKE FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 39
As part of the Cost of Services (User Fee) study for the City of Big Bear Lake, Matrix Consulting Group conducted a comparative survey of user fees. The City identified four municipalities to be included in the comparative survey: Mammoth Lakes, South Lake Tahoe, Palm Springs, and Victorville. The project team then reviewed public documents (i.e., agenda items, staff reports, budgets, fee schedules, and ordinances) and or contacted jurisdictions to get comparative information.
While this full report provides the City with a reasonable estimate and understanding of the true costs of providing services, many jurisdictions also wish to benchmark themselves against other comparable jurisdictions to understand the local “rates” for comparable services. This type of comparative analysis allows for the City to assess what types of changes in fee levels their community can bear. However, benchmarking does not provide adequate information regarding the relationship of other jurisdiction’s costs to their fees (i.e., policy decisions to subsidize, cost recovery goals, etc.). To contextualize this portion of the analysis, the project team provided economic and recency factors for the comparable jurisdictions.
The following sections detail various factors to consider when reviewing comparative survey results, as well as graphical comparisons of current fees and total calculated costs for various permits issued or services provided by the City.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
To provide additional context to the comparative survey information, the project team collected economic factors for the jurisdictions included. Three important economic factors to consider when comparing fees across multiple jurisdictions are: population, budget, and workforce size. These factors can impact how and when fees are administered, as a jurisdiction with a smaller population may choose to not charge a fee, or a smaller workforce size may inhibit their ability to administer a fee.
The following tables rank each jurisdiction from smallest to largest for each of these economic factors:
TABLE 22: RANKING OF JURISDICTIONS BY POPULATION

Big Bear Lake 4,958
Mammoth Lakes 7,110
South Lake Tahoe 20,790
Palm Springs 43,791

When compared to the surveyed jurisdictions, the City of Big Bear Lake ranks near the middle in terms of population, budget, and staffing.
RECENCY FACTOR
While the above comparative information can provide some perspective when paralleling Big Bear Lake’s fees with surveyed jurisdictions, other key factors to consider are when a jurisdiction’s fee schedule was last updated and when the last comprehensive analysis was undertaken. It is important to note that even though jurisdictions may have conducted recent fee studies, their fees are not always adopted at full cost recovery. The comparative results only show the adopted fee for the surveyed jurisdiction, not necessarily the full cost associated with the comparable service.
The following tables detail when each surveyed jurisdiction last conducted a fee analysis and when they last updated their fee schedule:

All surveyed jurisdictions have published an updated fee schedule within the past three years.
Additionally, all the jurisdictions except for Mammoth Lakes have conducted a fee study within the last five years.
ADDITIONAL FACTORS
Along with keeping the statistics outlined in the previous sections in mind, the following issues should also be noted regarding the use of market surveys in the setting of fees for service:
• Cost Recovery Factors: Each jurisdiction and its fees are different, and many are not based on the actual cost of providing services as various policy decisions may subsidize services. • Fee Variance Factors: The same “fee” with the same name may include different steps or subactivities. Jurisdictions also provide varying levels of service and have varying levels of costs associated with providing services such as staffing levels, salary levels, indirect overhead costs, etc.
In addition to the issues noted, market surveys can also run the risk of creating a confusing excess of data that will obscure rather than clarify policy issues. Because each jurisdiction is different, the Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the information contained in the market comparison of fees be used as a secondary decision-making tool, rather than the primary method for determining an acceptable price point for services.
