FUNDING
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2024
PREPARED BY: Mari Shakir, Associate Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2024-21, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa approving the attached list of projects for submittal to the California Transportation Commission to be eligible for Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account Funding for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

BACKGROUND: On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB1), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. To address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs of both the state highway and local streets and roadway system, SB1 increases per gallon fuel excise taxes, increases diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees; and provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years.

Beginning November 1, 2017, the State Controller started depositing various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of this new RMRA funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032 (h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.

In order for the City to receive their apportionment of RMRA funds, it must submit a list of projects it proposes to be funded with RMRA funds. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) requires this List of Projects be submitted by July 1, of each year and the list must be adopted by City Council Resolution. The List of Projects will be submitted to the CTC by the July 1 deadline, and the projects on the list will be included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program budget that is adopted by the City Council at a regular public meeting by June 30th of each year.

SUBJECT: AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO 4LEAF, INC. FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT SERVICES

Charles Abbott and Associates has worked diligently to recruit for a new code enforcement officer to fill the 20-hour a week position.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 9
SUBJECT: CALTRANS ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2024
PREPARED BY: Mari Shakir, Associate Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve an Electrical Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

DISCUSSION: On August 17, 1992, the City entered into a freeway maintenance agreement with Caltrans. This agreement defined maintenance responsibilities between the two agencies for the different components of crossings and interchanges, including electric costs. Per the freeway maintenance agreement, electric costs at interchanges are shared based on the ratio of each jurisdiction’s legs at the intersection. Costs are billed to Caltrans and then Caltrans bills the City for its share.

Caltrans has requested that the City enter into a separate electric maintenance agreement solely for electricity cost sharing. The new agreement goes into more detail including items such as illuminated street name signs and emergency vehicle preemption systems. The cost share ratio remains unchanged with the new agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT: Electric share costs are paid for by Fund 24 – Gas Tax. There is no change in fiscal impact with the execution of this agreement.

BASED ON FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 BUDGETED EXPENDITURES
AND THE OMB 2 CFR PART 200 COMPLIANT COST

EXPENDITURES
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2024
PREPARED BY: Will Kolbow, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council hold public hearing on the report on cost of services (user fee) study report, of amended fee schedule, of full cost allocation plan based on Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budgeted Expenditures and the OMB 2 Part 200 Compliant Cost Allocation Plan based on Fiscal Year 2021-22 Actual Expenditures and adopt Resolution 2024-10, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa, California, approving the report on cost of services (user fee) study, amended and restated master fee schedule, full cost allocation plan based on fiscal year 2023-24 budgeted expenditures and the OMB 2 CFR Part 200 Compliant cost allocation plan based on fiscal year 2021-22 actual expenditures.

BACKGROUND: The City levies a range of permit fees, charges, taxes and other fees or payments, which are listed in a comprehensive schedule called the City of Calimesa Fee Schedule (hereinafter “Master Fee Schedule”). The Master Fee Schedule contains the list of fees broken down by City department and includes all fees charged Citywide.

Maintaining a comprehensive list of the various taxes, fees, and charges ensures that the City provides the public with one document that contains all City fees rather than providing the information in several documents or in piecemeal form. The Master Fee Schedule is available on the City’s website and updated after Council adoption. Periodically, the City engages the services of a consultant to determine whether the fees adequately reflect the actual cost to the City of providing services to the public.

The City’s current Master Fee Schedule is based on a User Fee Rates study from August 2014.

Since that date, the City has experienced significant growth with respect to services provided to maintain compliance with federal, state, county and local regulations, laws, and ordinances. The City has also added an in-house Fire Department and the new Department’s services were not

included in the 2014 User Fee Study. The City’s cost allocation plan also needed to be updated as the cost allocation plan supports the indirect costs associated with user fee study rates.

User fees are commonly charged in connection with government services. Based on legal requirements as set forth by California State law, Propositions 13, 218 and 26, along with compliance standards, it is important to note that the City may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged. Fees cannot be profit driven. In setting the amount of the fee, it is proper and reasonable to factor and apply the expense of the direct services including employee labor and benefits, materials, supplies, etc., as well as indirect expenses of providing the services, including facilities, finance, information technology and equipment and other overhead costs. Government organizations are required to have objective cost allocation plans to support indirect costs estimated for user fees.

In January 2023, the City Council awarded a professional services agreement to Matrix Consulting Group (“Matrix”) to provide a Full Cost Allocation Plan and Report of Cost of Services - User Fee study. On November 20, 2023, staff presented to City Council the results of the fee study and related reports. It was determined by City Council that the requested action items and subject be further discussed at a special study session Council meeting.

The user fee study session took place on January 29, 2024. Staff presented the fees and cost allocation plan in further detail, and the City Council provided feedback. However, there were no decisions made as to updating fees. The City Council has the discretion to set the fees at any level it chooses as long as the fees do not exceed the City’s cost to provide the service associated with the fee, as described previously.

On March 4, 2024, staff presented to City Council recommendations of fees to which there was discussion and consensus regarding the fees and rates to be presented for Public Hearing.

Government Code Section 66016 requires that notice of the time and place of the meeting for the adoption of new fees or increase of existing fees shall be mailed at least 14 days prior to the meeting to any interested party who files a written request with the local agency for mailed notice of the meeting. This notification requirement is in addition to the public noticing via the newspaper or other media.

DISCUSSION:

Fee Cost Recovery Levels by Department
Based on the feedback from the City Council at the November 20, 2023 Council meeting, January 29, 2024 fee study session, and the March 4, 2024 Council meeting as well as the comparative data included in the Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study prepared by Matrix, the following is a discussion of the proposed fee changes by City departments, which is also presented in Attachment A. Below are explanations as to how staff arrived at these recommendations.

Fire Department
One of the primary reasons for updating our Master Fee Schedule is to add a fee schedule for our Fire Department, since the last fee update took place when the City utilized CAL Fire for fire

protection services. Therefore, all Fire Department fees are new. Staff is recommending the collection of 75% of full cost for Fire Department fees. There are a few reasons for this recommendation.

First, when looking at comparative data with nearby cities, full cost recovery would place our fees at or near the top of the list. Setting our fees at 75% of cost will, in most cases, set the City at or slightly above the average for comparison cities. Additionally, Matrix reports that the typical cost recovery range for Fire Department fees is 50-80%. Finally, while most of the fees are due to mandatory regulations, the public in general benefits from ensuring that businesses are complying with the fire codes, thereby making the City safer.

There are a couple of exceptions to the 75% of cost recommendation. First, staff is recommending that cost recovery hourly rates be set at 100% cost recovery, since their purpose is to recover costs.

Secondly, staff also recommends setting the EMS First Responder Fee at 100% of cost, since the City does incur costs for its Advance Life Support program that cannot be recovered, which would be the public benefit aspect, leaving the First Responder Fee to be an individual benefit.

Finally, based on City Council direction, staff modified the Administrative Penalties for False or Nuisance Fire Alarms to indicate that the first response only results in a warning with no penalty attached. The second response, which is the first response after a warning is issued, is now set at $387 whereas previously the first response was set at $387. Subsequent warnings multiply from that point forward.

Building, Planning and Public Works
Since fees in the Building, Planning, and Public Works departments are primarily an individual benefit, the recommended default cost recovery is 100%. This level will not result in the City being an outlier when compared to neighboring cities.

All new fees are set at 100% cost recovery. For existing fees, staff analyzed each fee and, in order to keep fees from dramatically increasing, is recommending that the percentage increase be capped at 50%. However, staff also recommends that, in order to ensure that the City does not fall too far behind on cost recovery, in no case is cost recovery less than 50%. So, there are some fees with recommended increases of greater than 50% to ensure the minimum level of cost recovery is achieved.

Finally, staff recommends that the City phase in additional increases to bring those fees that are below 100% cost recovery to 100% in the next few years. The final decision on increasing cost recovery for those fees that are below 100% cost recovery will be made during a future fee adjustment.

Business License
The current business license tax is $24 for businesses within the City and $48 for businesses outside the City. This structure is established by Chapter 5.05 of the Calimesa Municipal Code and was adopted in December 1990, soon after the City’s incorporation. The current tax rates were also set in December 1990. The cost for processing a new in-city business license is $148 while the cost of processing a new out of city business license is $58.

Proposition 218 (Prop 218) was passed by California voters in 1996. Among other things, Prop 218 redefined the procedure for passing local general-purpose taxes, such as business licenses. Taxes and assessments that were in place prior to July 1, 1995 are allowed to stay in place so long as their structure does not change, and the tax does not increase. As a result, the City has kept its structure and tax in place as it was adopted. Accordingly, staff recommends that the current fee ($24) for in-city business licenses remains unchanged. Likewise, staff recommends that the current fee ($48) for out-of-town business licenses be reduced to $24.

Surcharges
For the Credit Card Convenience Fee, staff is recommending that the fee be increased from 2.5% to 3.5%. Although the full cost was calculated at 5.14%, staff has done some work more recently to bring credit card processing costs down. Additionally, 3.5% would put the City in line with neighboring cities.

Staff is recommending that the General Plan Maintenance Fee and Technology Fee at 100% cost recovery. Many regulations passed down by the State have caused the cost of updating the General Plan to increase dramatically. The Technology Fee is currently based on a percentage of valuation.

The study recommends a fee set at 5% of permit fee charges and will be used to support software solutions that will increase permit processing efficiency and effectiveness and greatly enhance the customer experience.

Indirect Cost Recovery Rate
Matrix prepared both a Full Cost Allocation Plan (hereinafter referred to as “CAP”) as well as an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 2 CFR Part 200 Compliant Cost Allocation Plan. A CAP documents current indirect costs associated with Citywide services. The plan helps ensure that transfers into the general fund from non-general fund sources are fair and accurate. Additionally, it ensures that indirect costs are captured through the fee study. The CAP provides a fair and defensible document which clearly outlines the support provided to general fund and non-general fund sources from central service departments. The methodology used to develop a CAP follows guidelines set by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as well as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The overview of Central Services included metrics and expenditures in relation to the following departments; City Council, City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney, Finance, Information Services, Public Works and Non-Departmental costs. The CAP study resulted in an indirect rate calculation of 25.26% to capture a full indirect cost allocation.

The OMB Compliance Plan is used to determine indirect cost rates to develop, submit and secure approval of claims associated with the administration of State and or Federal grants. An OMB Compliant plan recovers administrative costs within the framework of the specific federal requirements outlined by OMB 2 CFR Part 200. Since the methodologies and allowable costs vary from the CAP, the indirect rate calculation for the OMB Compliance Plan is 18.6%.

Based on the feedback received at the January 29, 2024 user fee study session and concerns over a large increase over the current 10% indirect rate calculation, staff recommends using the OMB Compliance Rate as the City’s CAP (18.6%). This rate is more in line with other jurisdictions and

allows the City to have one uniform indirect cost recovery rate that is applicable to deposits and cost recovery as well as grants.

Adoption of Master Fee Schedule and Indirect Cost Rate
Staff has provided the public and City Council the results of the fee study and cost allocation plans at the City Council Meeting on November 20, 2023, City Council Study Session on January 29, 2024, City Council Meeting on March 4, 2024, and City Council Meeting on April 15, 2024. The City of Calimesa has complied with disclosure and notice requirements for the matters addressed within this staff report. As a courtesy, the City Council opted to continue this item from April 15, 2024 to May 1, 2024 to allow for additional time frame to receive comment letter. The two comment letters received are attached to this staff report. Council has provided direction on the cost recovery rates and indirect cost rate as detailed above. The recommended effective date for the new and increased fees in the updated Master Fee Schedule, new indirect cost rate and adoption of cost allocation plans is July 1, 2024. Staff will utilize the updated Master Fee Schedule and rates and cost allocation plans in preparing the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget, should the new and increased fees be adopted by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT: Increased revenue projections that are determinable are expected to be approximately $70,000 and will be included in revenue projections for the fiscal year 2024-25 budget cycle. There are specific dollar value estimates which are not determinable given the scope of new fees. Staff will provide new revenue projections for City Council consideration at the mid-year budget review in February 2025 based on six months of activity.

Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 1

1. Introduction and Executive Summary
The report, which follows, presents the results of the Cost of Services (User Fee) Study conducted by the Matrix Consulting Group for the City of Calimesa, California. 1 Project Background and Overview
The City of Calimesa last conducted a comprehensive fee analysis in 2014 and has since updated some fees based upon an annual inflationary cost. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and determine the full cost (direct and indirect) of providing a variety of City services based upon the existing organizational structure and processes. The Matrix Consulting Group analyzed the cost-of-service relationships that exist between fees for service activities in the following areas: City Clerk, Finance, Fire, Code Enforcement, Building, Planning, and Public Works. The results of this Study provide a tool for understanding current service levels and the cost for those services. 2 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 Division. 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 2024 Budgeted salaries, benefits, and allowable expenditures.

Indirect Division, departmental, clerical, and Citywide support.

Together, the cost components in the table above comprise the calculation of the total “full” cost of providing any particular 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 / Division Staff Interviews: The project team interviewed department / division staff regarding their needs for clarification to the structure of existing fee items, or for addition of new fee items.

Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA 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 2024 were entered into the 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 and City management has reviewed and approved these documented results.

A more detailed description of user fee methodology, as well as legal and policy considerations are provided in subsequent chapters of this report. 3 Summary of Results
When comparing FY24 fee-related budgeted expenditures with fee-related revenue the City is under-recovering its costs by approximately $78,000 or recovering 94% of its costs.

The following table shows by major service area: the revenue collected, the total annual cost, the resulting difference, and the resulting cost recovery percentage.

Table 2: Annual Cost Recovery Analysis
Service Area
Current
Revenue Total Cost Difference
Cost
Recovery %
City Clerk $31,879 $31,909 ($30) 100%
Public Works $30,584 $71,082 ($40,498) 43%
Planning $429,930 $448,242 ($18,312) 96%
Building $146,980 $142,120 $4,860 103%
Fire $537,497 $561,656 ($24,158) 96%
Total $1,176,870 $1,255,008 ($78,138) 94%
The largest sources of under-recovery are Fire ($40,000) and Building ($34,000). Fire’s under-recovery is due to it being a new department with limited fees being offered only at an hourly rate. In relation to Building, the deficit is mostly due to the adjustment of staff time and effort when plan reviewing and inspecting for residential building permits.

Planning shows an over-recovery of roughly $5,000. This difference is primarily due to modifying the collection of various permits from deposits to flat fees.

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 Council members

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 100 percent full cost recovery or lower, is a policy decision to be made only by the Council, with input from City staff and the community.
4 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.
1 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. 2 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 adopts 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 continue to 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. Utilizing an annual increase mechanism would ensure that the City receives appropriate fee increases that reflect growth in costs.

2. Legal Framework and Policy Considerations
This section of the report is intended to provide an overview regarding overall 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, several 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 user fees typically administered by local government 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”.
1 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
“Global” Community Benefit “Global” Benefit and an

• Park Maintenance
• Fire Suppression
• Recreation / Community
Services
• Fire Prevention
• Building Permits
• Planning and Zoning Approval
• Site Plan Review
• Engineering Development
Review
• Facility Rentals
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 fee, and other funding sources. Finally, in the “individual /

Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 5
group benefit” section of the table, lie the services provided by local government that are typically funded almost entirely by user fee revenue.

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. 2 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 the jurisdiction’s ability to charge a fee at all. An example 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 charging a water heater in residential home is higher than the cost of the water heater itself, many citizens will avoid pulling the permit.

Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 6
• Benefit received by user of the service and the community at large is mutual.

Many services that directly benefit a group or individual equally benefit the community as a whole. 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.
3 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 and where subsidies are identified increase them to reduce the deficit, and where over-recoveries are identified the fee must be reduced to be in compliance with the law.

3. User Fee Study Methodology
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 & indirect costs; • Develop time estimates for the average time spent to delivery 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 since 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.

INDIRECT

• Estimates reflect the time associated with the position or positions that typically perform a service.
• Estimates provided by staff are reviewed and approved by the department / division, and often involve multiple iterations before a Study is finalized. • 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 overallocation 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 for 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 sometimes 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. The Matrix Consulting Group has recommended taking a deposit and charging Actual Costs for such fees as appropriate and itemized within the current fee schedule.

4. Results Overview
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.

The full analytical results were provided to City staff under separate cover from this summary report.

5. City Clerk
The City Clerk Department is responsible for managing, maintain, and archiving City records, as well as, supporting City Council. The fees examined within this study relate to media reproduction, photocopies, rent stabilization, mobile home rent control, and property liens. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by City Clerk. 1 Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, the following modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule:
• Eliminated Fees: Due to technology upgrades and process improvements; the following fees were removed from the fee schedule as these items are available online:
- ‘Annual Agenda Subscription’
- ‘Annual Minute Subscription’
- ‘Copies of Media – Video Tapes’
- ‘Copies of Media – Audio Tapes’
- ‘CD Recording of Meeting’

6. Finance
The Finance Department is responsible for fiscal management of the City, along with administering payroll and overseeing employee benefits. The fees examined within this study relate to returned check processing, copies of City budget, and business licenses.

The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by Finance. 1 Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, the following modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule:
• Eliminated Fees: Due to technology upgrades and process improvements; the following fees were removed from the fee schedule as either these items are available online or no additional support is provided:
- ‘Copies – CAFR / ACFR (Grayscale)’
- ‘Copies – CAFR / ACFR (Color)’
- ‘Public Safety Invoice Processing’
• New Fee: ‘Duplicate Business License’ was proposed for addition to Finance’s fee schedule to account for staff time providing this service.

The modifications ensure that the proposed fee schedule more accurately reflects the services currently being provided by Finance.
2 Detailed Results
Finance collects fees for returned check processing, copies of City budget, and business licenses. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the fee name, current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each service offered.

3 Credit Card Transaction Fee
The City of Calimesa is assessed a fee from credit card companies for any transactions that require the use of credit cards. To recover the costs associated with fees incurred, the City charges a 2.50% surcharge on all transactions which are paid using a credit card.

Through this study, the project team worked with City staff to determine the appropriate surcharge amount.

In order to calculate the surcharge, the project team divided a three-year average of total expenses billed to the city by the credit card company by a three-year average of the total charges made against those credit card transactions. The following table shows this calculation:

Table 7: Credit Card Transaction Fee Calculation
Category Amount
Credit Card Fee Charges $11,103
Credit Card Transaction Amount $215,860
Credit Card Fee Rate 5.14%
Based upon this calculation the City’s full cost associated with credit card fees is 5.14%.

The following table compares the City’s current fee to the full cost fee calculated through this study:

Table 8: Credit Card Transaction Fee Per Unit Result Comparison Category Current Fee Full Cost Difference
Credit Card Convenience Fee 2.50% 5.14% (2.64%)
3 GOV § 6253(b)

Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 15
The full cost fee represents a cost recovery level of 49%. The current deficit is due to the increased fees assessed by the Credit Card companies. However, the City has entered into a new agreement, which can result in lower fees.

As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of the Credit Card Transaction 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 9: Credit Card Transaction Fee – Comparative Survey Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Beaumont 2% of Fees Paid
Hemet 3% of Fees Paid
Redlands 4% of Fees Paid
Canyon Lake Actual Cost
Yucaipa Actual Cost
Of the surveyed jurisdictions, most charge less than the calculated full cost at 5.14%.

Beaumont (2%) and Hemet (3%) charge fees similar to Calimesa’s current fee of 2.50%.

Unlike Calimesa and the other jurisdictions, the cities of Canyon Lake and Yucaipa both charge the actual cost of the processing fee rather than a fixed percentage of fees paid.

7. Fire
The Fire Department is responsible for ensuring the safety of the community by responding to a variety of fire, rescue, and medical emergencies and for preforming fire and life safety plan checks and inspections. Since their inception in 2018, the Calimesa Fire Department has offered their services to the community free of charge. The following subsections discuss proposed a fee schedule and details per unit results for the feerelated services provided by Fire. 1 Proposed Fee Schedule
There is no current comprehensive fee schedule that exists for Fire. The Department / Division currently charges for a handful of services based upon an hourly rate. Fire staff worked with the project team to establish a proposed fee schedule which outlines the various services offered by the Department. The fees included relate to plan review and inspection for construction permits, annual operation permits, and state-mandated occupancy permits; along with hourly rates for cost-recovery. 2 Detailed Results
The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the proposed fee name and total cost of each service offered.

3 Annual Revenue Impact
Based on the prior workload information, Fire has a deficit of roughly $40,000. The following table shows by major fee category: revenue at current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference.

Table 11: Annual Results - Fire
Fee Category
Revenue at

Hood and Duct Extinguishing System Inspection $2,793 $2,529 $264 Total $30,584 $71,082 ($40,498)
Fire has an annual cost recovery of 43%, which reflects a roughly $40,000 subsidy. This current subsidy is based on the fees and permits which were recorded and does not reflect the other services and activities for which Fire performed services but did not track. The primary source of the current deficit is Fire Sprinkler Systems. Having a more codified and transparent fee schedule will allow the City to better recover its costs associated with fire permitting.

8. Code Enforcement
The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for ensuring community health and safety through investigation of violations to the City’s municipal code and for overseeing vacant vehicle and property registration. The fees examined within this study relate to abandoned or foreclosed property registration and property liens. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the feerelated services provided by Code Enforcement. 1 Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, the following modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule:
• New Fees: The following three fees were added to the fee schedule as a means to capture staff time spent providing the service to the community:
- ‘Site Investigation Fee’
- ‘Weed Abatement’
- ‘Abandoned Vehicles’
• Expanded Fees: To account for the ways in which the property registration process is started, it was proposed that the ‘Abandoned and / or Foreclosed Property Registration’ fee be expanded into the following two categories:
- ‘Mailed In’
- ‘Field Inspection Discovery’
The modifications ensure that the proposed fee schedule more accurately reflects the services currently being provided by Code Enforcement.
2 Detailed Results
Code Enforcement collect fees for abandoned or foreclosed property registration and property liens. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the fee name, current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each service offered.

Site Investigation Fee New $119 N/A
Weed Abatement New $119 N/A
Property Liens $115 $260 ($145)
Abandoned Vehicles New $178 N/A
Code Enforcement under-recovers for all of its current fees. The largest under-recovery is in relation to ‘Abandoned and/or Foreclosed Property Registration – Field Inspection Discovery’ at $266. The difference in costs for mailed in compared to field inspection indicates the needs to break out the process.
3 Annual Revenue Impact
Due to lack of permitting data and tracking of code enforcement fee-related services, no annual revenue impact was able to be calculated specific to code enforcement.

9. Building
The Building division is responsible 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.
1 Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, the following modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule:
• Fee Modifications: Currently, the City charges the majority of its fees based on valuation. However, the City has proposed moving to both square footage and flat fees. Details are outlined below:
- Commercial / Multi-Family / Industrial Building Permits: The City has proposed moving commercial, multi-family, and industrial building permits from valuation to basing projects on occupancy, building material, and square footage, as that has a stronger nexus to the level of effort and is more in alignment with the region.
- Residential Building Permit – Remodel: The City has proposed parsing out remodels from other types of residential building permits, as these types of projects require different staff time and effort.
- Various Flat Fees: The City has proposed creating flat fees for various overthe-counter permits as these permits level of effort is dependent upon the type of permit rather than the valuation.
• Eliminated Fees: The following fees were eliminated as the City no longer offers these services or they are now captured within other fees or on other department’s fee schedules:
- ‘Permit Issuance’
- ‘Multiple Unit Plan Check’
- ‘House Sewer Section Installation for Future Use’
- ‘Additional Building Connection or Additional Work to House Sewer’ - ‘Plumbing Special Inspections’

• Fee Name Change: The following fee names were modified to more accurately capture the services provided:

Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of Calimesa, CA Matrix Consulting Group 25
- ‘Receptacles, switches, lighting outlets (first 20)’ is now ‘Receptacles, switches, lighting outlets’
- ‘Fixed residential appliances not exceeding 1HP & Solar’ is now ‘Fixed residential appliances not exceeding 1HP’
- ‘Cesspool, Overflow Seepage Pit, Percolation Test Pit, Swimming Pool Drywell, or Drain Field Extension or Replacement’ is now ‘Overflow Seepage Pit, Percolation Test Pit, Swimming Pool Drywell, or Drain Field Extension or Replacement’
• New Fees: Creation of Landscape fees during the construction phase to track the review and inspection associated with those activities.

The modifications ensure that the proposed fee schedule more accurately reflects the services currently being provided by Building.
2 Detailed Results
The Building Division collects fees which are charged based on a set-rate or “flat rate” and fees based on valuation. As mentioned in the modifications, the City is proposing transiting to charging fees based on square footage rather than valuation. The following subsection discuss the detailed results for these types of fees:

2.1 Residential Permit & Flat Fees
Building collects flat fees for various inspections, including, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, cell site, re-roofs, walls, and much more. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the fee name, current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each service offered.

As previously mentioned, the City is proposing to move from charging valuation for their Commercial / Multi-Family / Industrial building permit fees to charging based on occupancy type, construction material, and square footage of the project. This change will allow for a more accurate representation of the effort staff spend in administering and performing inspections.

2.3 Landscape Fees Per Unit Results
As part of the construction phase, a developer must have their landscape plans reviewed and the landscape eventually inspected. These services were traditionally covered as part of the building permit previously, but in an effort to be more transparent, a separate set of fees has been developed. The total cost calculated for each service includes contracted staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the proposed fee name and total cost of each service offered.

The total costs are based upon the level of effort need to perform reviews and inspections. The deposits are for the larger projects for which there is an initial estimation of effort, but the actual effort could dramatically vary. 3 Annual Revenue Impact
Based on the FY22 permit information, Building has an under-recovery of roughly $34,000.

The following table shows by major fee category: revenue at current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference.

Building has an annual cost recovery of 94%, which reflects a roughly $34,000 subsidy.

The largest source of this deficit ($28,000) is in relation to residential building permits, as they are the largest source of workload for the Building Division. In addition to parsing out remodels from the other types of residential building permits, staff adjusted time estimates to more accurately reflect the level of effort associated with those activities.
