Measure V Committee’s Finding Memo
May 16, 2023
3. Does the City’s proposed Biennial Operating Budgets for FYs 2023-24 and 2024-25 and FY 2023-24 Capital Budget address the City’s infrastructure backlog?
The Committee reviewed the FYs 2023-24 and 2024-25 biennial operating budget and FY 2023-24 capital budget and concluded that the presentation on the use of Measure V revenue to fund capital projects addresses the City’s infrastructure backlog. Specifically, the revenues are being allocated to support existing infrastructure and address areas of community and Council priority. Safe and usable infrastructure is a City Council priority.
Committee Summary and Recommendations
Measure V has proven to be a vital revenue source allowing the City to protect essential services, address critical infrastructure backlogs, and focus efforts toward areas of community priority.
The Committee encourages Council to continue analyzing spending priorities to ensure that they meet the most pressing needs and concerns of all Concord residents. In particular, the Committee recommends that Measure V funds used to address homelessness are deployed effectively and efficiently. Additionally, the Committee commends the Council for partnering with the Concord community to address areas of community concerns and encourages further collaboration with residents and community members to achieve those goals.

GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCE FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICY
1. P URPOSE
To set forth the policy direction for the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54: Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, which establishes a hierarchy of fund balance classifications which are based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound by constraints placed on resources.
2. P OLICY
This Policy sets forth the policy direction for the Finance Department’s preparation of financial statements which accurately categorize fund balance in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 54: Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions (“GASB 54” or the “Statement”). The objective of the Statement is to improve the usefulness, including the understandability, of governmental fund balance information. This Policy establishes the new fund balance classifications for governmental funds for external financial reporting purposes such as in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (“CAFR”) (“ACFR”). Certain commitments and assignments of fund balance will help ensure there will be adequate financial resources to protect the City against unforeseen circumstances and events such as revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures. The fund balance disclosures, consistent with GASB 54, provides more clearly defined categories to make the nature and extent of the limitations placed on the City’s fund balance more transparent. The increased transparency provides users of the financial statements information necessary to understand the processes under which constraints are imposed upon the use of resources and how those constraints may be modified or eliminated.
3. FUND BALANCE DEFINITION
Fund balance is defined as the excess of total assets as compared to total liabilities in a governmental fund. With GASB 54 implementation, five separate components of Fund Balance are defined, each of which identifies the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts can be spent. The separate components, listed in order from most restrictive to least, are as follows:
Nonspendable fund balance (inherently nonspendable)
Restricted fund balance (external enforceable limitation on use) Committed fund balance (self-imposed limitation on use) Assigned fund balance (limitation resulting from intended use) Unassigned fund balance (residual net resource)
Attachment 5
POLICY & PROCEDURE NO. 168
2 3.1 Nonspendable Fund Balance
Nonspendable fund balance represents amounts that are not in a spendable form, such as inventories, prepaid items, and long-term receivables. It also includes amounts that are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact or required to be retained in perpetuity, such as the principal of an endowment fund.
3.2 Restricted Fund Balance
Amounts reported as restricted when constraints placed on the use of resources are either (1) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions, or by enabling legislation.
3.3 Committed Fund Balance
Committed fund balance represents amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City Council, the City’s highest decision making authority. The City Council may commit fund balances for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as an ordinance or resolution. The committed balances cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use using the same formal action taken to originally establish the commitment. City Council action to commit fund balance must occur within the fiscal reporting period, while the amount committed may be subsequently determined.
3.4 Assigned Fund Balance
Amounts in the Assigned Fund Balance are intended to be used for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. The policy hereby delegates the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes to the City Manager, or the City Manager’s designee, for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements. An example of assigned fund balance is continuing appropriations for projects approved in prior years and which must be carried forward into the new fiscal year.
3.5 Unassigned Fund Balance (General Fund Only)
This includes the minimum fund balance level (reserves) of 15% of General Fund desig- nated operating expenditures, re-instituted to 30% when economic conditions warrant the increase. Any portion of the General Fund fund balance that does not fall into any of the fund balance definitions listed above.Refer to Policy and Procedure No. 129, Budget and Fiscal Policies, for the City’s fund balance policy.
4. ORDER OF FUNDS SPENDING
The City will spend the most restricted dollars in accordance with restrictions imposed before less restricted in the following order:
1. Nonspendable
2. Restricted
3. Committed
4. Assigned
5. Unassigned
POLICY & PROCEDURE NO. 168
3 5. FUND TYPES DEFINITION
Governmental fund are used to account for governmental activities. Governmental funds are classified as the following: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds, Debt Service Funds and specifically excludes proprietary and fiduciary funds. For purposes of GASB 54, only governmental funds will be required to be classified under the new fund balance classifications. The classification of proprietary funds and fiduciary funds will not be affected by the implementation of GASB 54.
5.1 Governmental Fund Type Definitions
GASB 54 provides further clarification on the use of various governmental fund types:
General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds and Debt Service Funds.
5.11 General Fund
Accounts for and reports all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund.
5.12 Special Revenue Funds:
Accounts for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are:
Restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects.
Proceeds of specific revenue sources establish that one or more specific restricted or committed revenues should be the foundation for a Special Revenue fund. The specific restricted or committed revenues may be initially received in another fund and subsequently distributed to a special revenue fund.
The restricted or committed proceeds of specific revenue sources should be expected to continue to comprise a substantial portion of the inflows reported in the fund.
Other resources (investment earnings and transfers from other funds, for example) also may be reported in the Special Revenue Fund if those resources are restricted, committed, or assigned to the specified purpose of the funds.
Special Revenue Funds should not be used to account for resources held in trust for individuals, private organizations, or other governments.
Notes to the financial statements should disclose the purpose for each major Special Revenue Fund including identifying which revenues and other resources are reported in each of the Special Revenue Funds.
5.13 Capital Projects Funds
Account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets.
POLICY & PROCEDURE NO. 168
4 5.14 Debt Service Funds
Account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest. Debt Service funds should be used to report resources if legally mandated. Financial resources that are being accumulated for principal and interest maturing in future years should be report in Debt Service Funds.

Subject: Update on the City’s Unfunded Personnel Liabilities and Other Unmet Needs
Executive Summary
The City Council has maintained a focus on addressing unfunded personnel liabilities for many years. On June 28, 2022, the Council received a presentation providing an update on the status of the City’s unfunded personnel liabilities, along with options to pay down those liabilities faster than scheduled by only making the annual actuarial determined contributions (ADC).
The Council supported continuing the City’s current practice of prioritizing the use of budget residual towards making additional discretionary payments (ADP) until 90% funded status is achieved. Additionally, Council requested that this issue be revisited with each biennial budget development process. This memo provides an update on the status of the City’s personnel liabilities and provides an overview of options that are typically considered when addressing unfunded personnel liabilities. Staff is not recommending implementing any additional strategies at this time as the City’s projected operating budget does not have capacity to make additional resources available to address these liabilities at this time. Staff will continue to provide regular updates to Council and make recommendations to pay down personnel liabilities as resources allow.
Post-Employment Obligations
Post-employment obligations are those benefits that are provided to employees in retirement and include California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), City of Concord Retirement System (CCRS) and retiree medical (also known as OPEB). A summary of each plan is provided below. There is an in-depth discussion of CalPERS as
it is the City’s largest and most volatile personnel obligation as the funding policy and investment of assets are controlled by the CalPERS Board, not the City Council.
California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS):
The City provides retirement benefits for employees through its participation in the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). This is a defined benefit pension plan funded by a combination of employee contributions that are set by statute and through negotiations; employer contributions that fluctuate from year to year based on an annual actuarial valuation performed by CalPERS; and investment earnings.
CalPERS required annual pension costs consists of two components: 1) Normal cost representing the present value of benefits that pension system members earn during the valuation year and 2) Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL). UAL exists when the assets set aside are less than the actuarially calculated amount that should be set aside for service credit already earned. CalPERS requires the City to pay off the UAL layers over 10-20 years depending on the reason for the unfunded liability layer.
This pension system’s rates have been on the rise over the last decade based on changes in CalPERS assumptions and Board policies to make the pension system more sustainable, as well as lower than expected investment returns. While the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) that went into effect in 2013 substantially reduced pension benefits for new CalPERS employees hired after January 1, 2013, and will result in lower, more sustainable pension costs for the City, it will take 8 to 10 years before the City will experience lower pension costs.
Table 1 shows how the City’s CalPERS costs have increased over time. Annual pension costs have increased over 220% in the last decade, from roughly $6.9 million in 2010 to $22.2 million in 2022. The red portions of the bars in the chart represent the annual payments for UAL and shows that the largest increases in costs are due to the unfunded liability, which was $39 million in 2010 and has escalated to $180 million according the most recent valuation reports received from CalPERS in August 2022.

However, projected costs will increase and funded status will decrease when the next CalPERS Actuarial Valuation report comes out in late summer 2023. Because of the timing of when CalPERS values and reports their analysis, it is usually two years behind.
So the report to be received later this year uses valuation data as of June 30, 2022 for setting rates in FY 2024-25. As of FY June 30, 2022, CalPERS experienced a loss of negative 6.1% compared to their expected return of 6.8%. As a result, there will be a new UAL layer reflecting a 12.9% negative variance. Table 3 reflects the expected increase in annual UAL contributions as a result of this loss. Table 4 reflects the anticipated funded status incorporating the 6.1% loss AND assumes CalPERS earns the assumed rate of return of 6.8% as of June 30, 2023.

Table 5 shows the total projected pension contribution costs over time and incorporates the negative 6.1% return from June 30, 2022. The total CalPERS costs for all funds will grow from $22.7 million in FY 2022-23 to a peak of $30.9 million in FY 2030-31.

Employer Normal Cost UAL Payment
The City will begin seeing the financial benefits of PEPRA in 2031-32 as costs are projected to peak in FY 2030-31 and decline thereafter with the unfunded liability (red bars) fully repaid in FY 2044-45. This model assumes all actuarial assumptions are met each year including CalPERS achieving its stated interest rate objective of 6.8%.
Budgeting for these costs has been and will continue to be a challenge for the foreseeable future. According to this projection, the City’s CalPERS pension costs will not drop down to FY 2022-23 cost levels until 2042. The City will need to continue to budget for these annual costs as well as any additional costs that are created when actuarial assumptions are not met.
City of Concord Retirement System (CCRS):
CCRS is the City’s pension plan that closed in 1993 when the City transferred current employees to CalPERS. Those that remain in CCRS are those employees who were already retired and receiving benefits and those former employees that vested in CCRS but no longer worked for the City.
The City engages an independent actuary to perform a valuation every two years. The CCRS Pension liability is measured as of June 30, 2022, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020, rolled forward to June 30, 2022 using standard update procedures. The following chart reflects the most recent report as of June 30, 2022.

Total Liability: $50.3 Million
On March 8, 2022, Council approved an additional discretionary payment (ADP) of $1.4 million for FY 2022-23 and on April 4, 2023, the Council approved another ADP of $2.9 million in FY 2022-23 from the General Fund to CCRS. Staff estimates the funded status will increase to approximately 70% when the $4.3 million ADPs are added to the assets of the plan. The independent actuary will be preparing an updated actuarial valuation later this year and an updated funded status will be incorporated into the City’s Annual Comprehensive Finance Report (ACFR) as of June 30, 2023.
Fully funding the CCRS annual Actuarial Determined Contribution (ADC) for the City’s closed pension system costs approximately $2.4 million annually, as determined by an independent actuarial report. This plan is expected to reach 90% funded status in about 10 years, including the additional payments of $4.3 million authorized by Council on March 8, 2022 and April 4, 2023 along with annual ADC contributions.
Post-Employment Retiree Medical (also known as Other Post-Employee Benefits (OPEB):
The City provides health insurance to its employees through CalPERS and coverage for retirees is required as part of the contract. The City has two different levels of retiree medical benefits: those employees hired before summer 2016, receive a fixed City contribution that ranges $672-$1,747 per month depending on the level of coverage (single, two-party, family); those employees hired after summer 2016, receive the PEMHCA minimum (established annually by CalPERS) upon retirement from the City of Concord. The PEMHCA minimum in 2023 is $151 per month.
The City engages an independent actuary to perform a valuation every two years. The OPEB liability of the plan is measured as of June 30, 2021, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020, rolled forward to June 30, 2021 using standard update procedures. The following chart reflects the most recent report as of June 30, 2022.

Total Liability $ 69.0 Million
Fully funding the City’s ADC for retiree medical benefits costs approximately $3.7 million annually, based upon an independent actuarial report. The plan is expected to reach full funded status in approximately 16 years assuming all actuarial assumptions are met and only the ADC payments are made annually.
Options to Address Unfunded Personnel Liabilities
In addition to being a management best practice to prefund personnel liabilities, addressing unfunded personnel liabilities provides intergenerational equity, reduces costs in the long-term and helps stabilize the operating budget.
Should Council desire to explore options to reduce unfunded personnel liabilities, staff recommends focusing prefunding options for the CalPERS pension plan as this is the largest unfunded personnel liability, is subject to the largest volatility as funding policy is set by CalPERS and reducing this unfunded liability will provide further progress towards Council’s goal of fiscal sustainability.
Since the retiree medical benefit has been significantly reformed, it is likely that the annual ADC will decrease over time as fewer retirees elect coverage under the City of Concord’s program at retirement. This benefit is projected to be fully funded in 16 years by continuing to fund the annual ADC. Staff recommends considering increasing the funded level of this benefit once the CalPERS plans have attained Council’s desired funding level.
Council has already taken action to increase funding for CCRS so that it is projected to be 90% funded in approximately 10 years. As this is a closed, aging pension system, staff does not recommend funding beyond 90%. Funded status will be reviewed each operating budget cycle and the funding level can be adjusted at that time to achieve Council’s funding goal.
Funding Objectives:
In order to determine the most appropriate funding strategies to consider, it is important to define the objective(s) to be achieved. Primary objectives agencies have considered are:
Achieve a targeted funded status by a certain date
Reduce employer contributions over the long-term
Limit year to year contribution volatility
Increase flexibility regarding minimum required contributions in a given future year Funding Strategies:
Below are the most common potential funding strategies. Each is discussed in more detail below.
A. Alter CalPERS UAL Schedule (fresh start)
B. Make additional discretionary payments (ADPs)
C. Utilize a pension prefunding trust (Section 115 Trust) D. Issue pension obligation bonds
E. Borrow internally
F. Finance capital projects and using the City’s internal available cash to pay down the higher CalPERS interest rate (tax-exempt exchange)
A. CalPERS Fresh Start
A Fresh Start is when multiple amortization bases are collapsed to one base and amortized together over a new funding period. Savings are achieved by reducing the Fresh Start funding period to fewer years than the current amortization bases are scheduled. The net effect is the City will owe more each year but for fewer years.
Once this option is elected, the City is not able to fall back to the previous funding schedule. As a result, CalPERS recommends an agency make additional discretionary payments rather than committing to a new, shorter amortization schedule.
B. Additional Discretionary Payments (ADP)
Additional Discretionary Payments or ADP are payments made above the CalPERS required payment, similar to the additional annual payments Council recently approved for CCRS. Unlike the Fresh Start, ADP’s give Council more flexibility in funding additional payments as the payment amount and frequency can change each year based on the City’s cash flow.
There are various options for funding ADPs:
a) Continue the City’s practice of prioritizing ADPs from budget residual as part of the mid-year and mid-cycle budget process
b) Dedicate all or a portion of new revenues that have not yet been incorporated into the City’s budget or long-range forecast as funding for ADPs c) Incorporate ADPs into the City’s biennial operating budget. However, incorporating ADP’s in the operating budget may require reductions in other programs in order to maintain a balanced budget.
C. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 115 Trust
IRC Section 115 Trust is a tax-exempt, irrevocable vehicle to segregate funds from the City’s general resources to fund post-employment benefits liabilities, such as Pension and OPEB. Once established and funded, the City can only use the funds to pay for retiree benefits.
The City currently utilizes a Section 115 Trust for the CCRS and OPEB plans.
Creating an additional 115 trust could help the City set aside funds to offset future payments to CalPERS and help mitigate the budget impact of future increases to the UAL. This is often used for rate stabilization such that the City budgets and sets aside higher contributions each year and then draws on those Section 115 funds when CalPERS rates increase.
An alternative use of a Section 115 Trust is to direct ADPs to a Section 115 Trust once CalPERS funded status reaches 90%.
D. Pension Obligation Bonds (POB)
Pension Obligation Bonds are taxable bonds that could be issued by the City and used to refinance some or all of the City’s Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL). Bond proceeds are deposited with CalPERS and invested, along with the plan’s other investments. For the portion of the UAL paid through bond proceeds, the City would make debt service payments to bondholders instead of making UAL contributions to CalPERS. POBs can be issued for the entire UAL or a portion of it. The City would then make two payments, the debt service payments to pay off the bonds and the normal cost pension contribution to CalPERS.
Currently, the UAL for Concord as of June 30, 2022 (the most recent information available) for all CalPERS pension plans is $183.1 million, which includes the Police Safety Plan of $109.9 million and Miscellaneous Plan of $73.2 million.
Pension Obligation Bond Analysis:
The POB issuance process takes approximately 6 months from when Council approves the related actions.
First, the City would hire an actuary to provide a risk analysis regarding the likelihood of success of the POB’s. This estimates whether the City is likely to save money over the term of the bonds compared to continuing to pay CalPERS the annual UAL payments.
Next step is to initiate a validation process. Formal legal court validation proceedings are required. This would include:
Adopting a resolution that authorizes: (1) the City to pursue the issuance of POBs to refund its CalPERS UAL, and (2) the commencement of judicial validation proceedings related to the issuance of such POBs. This requires a filing with Contra Costa County Superior Court seeking authorization to issue POBs.
Initiation of an 8-step validation process takes approximately 90-120 days.
Retaining validation (bond) counsel is a necessary part of this process. Fees typically range between $25,000 to $35,000 plus court filing fees of $3,000 to $5,000. Fees can be higher if validation is challenged.
Once the POB issuance has been validated by the court, Council would approve the financing documents and staff would work with the City’s financing team to market the bonds.
Risks
The success of POBs is dependent upon two variables: 1) borrowing rate on the bonds, and 2) CalPERS investment performance. POBs provide savings by refinancing the UAL at a taxable fixed rate well below the CalPERS discount rate of
6.8%. Also, when bond proceeds are invested with CalPERS, the pension plan may lose value if the market declines soon after the issuance. A market loss would limit the City’s ability to take advantage of compounding interest, likely reduce a significant
portion of estimated budget savings in the first few years, and create a new UAL for the City.
Due to the current interest rate environment, POB’s are not feasible at this time.
E. Borrow Internally
The City could borrow internally to pay off a portion of the UAL. The City used a similar strategy to refinance the improvements to the Concord Pavilion. The borrowing rate would equal the current LAIF rate, with savings generated from the payoff used to repay the loan. The City does not currently have capacity to borrow the full $183 million internally so would continue to make UAL payments to CalPERS in addition to the internal loan repayments for the portion of UAL prepaid to CalPERS.
F. Tax-Exempt Exchange
The City could leverage its cash by financing capital projects and reallocating cash budgeted for capital projects to the higher cost of the UAL. This concept is known as a tax-exempt exchange and can provide significant savings. The Tax-Exempt Exchange requires a 4-step process:
1. Identify capital projects to be funded with accumulated cash balances (other than financing proceeds)
2. Issue tax-exempt bonds to finance these projects instead of paying cash
3. Pay down the UAL using the cash planned for the capital project
4. The City would use the budgeted expenditures to pay the debt service on bonds issued for capital projects instead of making payments to CalPERS.
A tax-exempt exchange can be viewed as an alternative to making additional discretionary payments. However, the reduction in UAL payment to CalPERS would need to be at or higher than the debt service payment to be cost-neutral. A challenge to using this approach currently is that few of the City’s current CIP projects are being funded on a cash basis at this point in time. .
Matching Objectives with Strategies:
The chart below demonstrates what strategies could be considered to address each objective.
Objective Possible Strategies
Achieve target funded status ADPs, POB, alter UAL (Fresh Start) Reduce long-term costs ADPs, POB, alter UAL (Fresh Start) Limit contribution volatility Alter UAL (Fresh Start), 115 Trust Increase flexibility with required contributions ADPs, 115 Trust
Summary of Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends Council continue the practice of prioritizing the use of budget residual towards making ADPs to personnel liabilities until the funds are at least 90% funded over the next two-year budget cycle. Council will revisit this topic with the next operating budget development process. Additionally, if the environment changes dramatically to make one of these options feasible and beneficial to Concord, City staff will return to Council to discuss the idea, even if it occurs prior to the next budget development.

Report in Brief
Policy & Procedure No. 170 requires that certain fees and charges for City services be adjusted based on changes in labor costs. In addition to the fees that are adjusted based on changes in labor costs, staff is recommending fee adjustments in Finance, Recreation Services, Community Development, Public Works, Police, and Sewer Capacity Fees to more fully recover costs based on recent analysis and market surveys.
These fees will go into effect on July 1, 2023 and July 16, 2023. The proposed fee changes are discussed in detail in the body of this report.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
May 16, 2023
Recommended Action
1. Adopt a Resolution amending Exhibit A to Resolution No. 78-6042 establishing fees and charges for various municipal services in the City of Concord (Attachment 1).
2. Adopt a Resolution amending (Sewer Capacity (Connection) Fees (Attachment 2).
Background
User fees and charges are collected to recover some or all costs incurred to provide a specific service from which one or more individuals obtain a benefit. Each year, the Concord City Council considers adjustments to fees through the adoption of a fees and charges resolution.
In support of the Council’s priority focus area on long-term financial stability, Council adopted Policy & Procedure No. 170, which sets cost recovery goals and established policy guidelines for setting and updating user fees and charges. Staff hourly rates are determined each year by using the current average cost for each position, which includes general wage adjustments effective in FY 2022-23. Therefore, fees that reflect hourly staff costs are proposed to be increased in this fee schedule, as required by Policy & Procedure No. 170, to avoid requiring the General Fund to subsidize projects that benefit the individual.
The Policy also states that a comprehensive analysis of City costs and fees should be conducted at least every five years. The last comprehensive analysis was done in FY 2014-15; updating the Cost Allocation Plan has been delayed due to other high priority projects in recent years. Staff has included the costs to update the Cost Allocation Plan in the proposed biennial budget for FYs 2023-24 and 2024-25 and plan to begin work in the next two years. In the interim, in order to avoid abrupt and significant increases of future fees, fees will be adjusted by annual changes in labor costs as approved by the City Council with the exception of Special Events Fees, which shall be adjusted by 3% per annum1. Per policy, the annual adjustments are intended to allow the fees and charges to keep pace with costs of service delivery and to avoid large increases to fees in any given year.
Analysis
In accordance with Policy & Procedure No. 170, staff proposes establishing fee adjustments for FY 2023-24 to reflect the wage adjustments received by certain staff.
As part of the fee review process, staff analyzed the costs to provide the various services in the Master Fee Schedule and are recommending adjustments consistent with the costs of providing those services. The Master Fee Schedule is reviewed and 1 Policy & Procedure 170 was amended to adjust Special Events staff fees by 3% per year to ensure regular modest adjustments to the fees each year, creating predictability and avoiding cost spikes for special event applicants.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a

adjusted annually by the Council to keep pace with costs and avoid major increases in costs of services.
Additionally, staff recommends expanding the general note that is currently only found on Schedule D of the Master Fee Schedule regarding services for which there is no fee on the schedule in order to more fully recover costs for services rendered. The general note states: “For services rendered by City staff which have no fee listed in this section of the fee schedule, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee shall determine the appropriate fee based on the established hourly rates for the applicable City staff as provided in Table 1. Additionally, the City will pass-through to the applicant any discrete costs incurred from the use of external service providers if required to process the specific application, including an administrative fee of 20% to cover the associated citywide overhead costs.” Staff recommends expanding the general note to apply to the entire Master Fee Schedule in order to offset unanticipated costs for services rendered outside of the regular scope of business.
Administrative Fees (Page 3, Schedule 3, General Notes) Other Fee Adjustments. In addition to fees that are proposed to increase based on changes in labor costs described above, below is a list of the most significant other proposed adjustment to the Master Fees and Charges Schedule. The proposed changes conform to the City’s Policy & Procedure No. 170: User Fees and Charges Recovery. A detailed listing of the current fees and proposed changes are listed in the Attachment to Resolution 22-6042.1 Establishing Fees and Charges for Various Municipal Services in the City of Concord (Attachment 1).

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
May 16, 2023
II. Recreation Services
Fees charged for recreation programs, services and facilities are periodically evaluated based on a number of criteria including historical demand and participation levels, costs to deliver and maintain service levels, and comparative pricing models in neighboring communities. Revenue generated through fees for services is critical to preserving the ability to continue providing programs, especially as costs of doing business such as labor rates and equipment/supplies increase. The Recreation Services Department realizes that customers must take affordability and other choices into account when accessing programs.
A. Adult Sports
Due to continued annual increases in minimum wage, umpire services contract fees, and operating costs, Recreation Services is requesting fee changes to adult sports league fees. A fee study was conducted at the beginning of 2023, which indicated fees for similar programs have increased at other local agencies.
B. Aquatics
Consistent with past years, Recreation Services is recommending a modest, incremental increase to Aquatics fees due to annual increases in minimum wage and other costs associated with providing programs and operating the community’s Olympic size pool facility.
C. Athletic Fields & Courts
With an increase in demand by non-Concord softball and travel ball teams, Recreation Services is recommending addition of a “Non-Concord nonprofit” fee category for field rental fees to ensure that Concord teams are receiving the largest benefit when renting City fields. This recommendation is supported by a fee study of athletic facility rental fees conducted at the end of 2022 which identified this fee category in multiple nearby agency fee schedules.
The City receives a variety of requests for “Fun Runs” and cross-country practices to be held at Newhall Park. While most requests require additional City services, the recommended rental fees provide an additional, low-cost option for smaller events. Fees were calculated to cover missed revenue due to blocking reservations for the athletic fields and picnic areas during the runs.
New fees for reserved use of outdoor basketball and volleyball courts, which are in line with the fee study, are recommended to provide an opportunity for exclusive, reserved use as well as cover materials costs for the facilities.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
May 16, 2023
D. Camp Concord
Adjustments to fees charged for reserved group use of Camp Concord reflect the shift to focusing on a higher cost recovery model, designed to reduce reliance on General Fund support, while continuing to provide the opportunities and benefits associated with a summer resident camp experience at the City’s 29 acre South Lake Tahoe resident camp facility.
The proposed group rental fees are competitively priced and enable a flexible approach to attract and maximize the use of the facility.
E. Facility and Picnic Rentals
The City of Concord offers facility rental opportunities at all three community centers and in selected parks with picnic sites. As part of the annual evaluation process for facility rentals, fee studies were completed, comparing fees of similar facilities in neighboring communities. Most surrounding cities charge Non-Residents up to 20% more to rent a city facility or picnic space. To stay competitive with the industry standard and surrounding communities, as well as address increases in staff costs, resident rental rates have been increased 5% and Non-Resident rental rates by 20%. In consultation with Finance Department staff, a new fee, Limited Services-Extra Staff Hours, was developed to recover extra staff and service fees incurred when a facility or picnic rental sustains damage or extra cleaning. The proposed fees keep Concord’s facility rental rates competitively priced in the marketplace.
F. Diablo Creek Golf Course – Enterprise Fund
The Recreation Services Department collaborates with three operational partners at the City’s full service, 18-hole course to deliver a high-quality municipal golf experience. Over the last several years, the team prioritized maintaining increased participation levels experienced as a result of the COVID pandemic while taking steps to address increased expenditures associated with operating the recreation asset. The golf market continues to evolve, and after recovering from an impactful winter storm season, the remainder of 2023 is projected to remain very solid in terms of participation levels. A recently performed green fee analysis of municipal golf courses located in neighboring communities resulted in an opportunity to strategically propose moderate increases to selected green fee categories. The recommended rate increases will still position Diablo Creek Golf Course as a value-oriented experience when compared to the closest community golf course options while assisting the recreation asset to remain financially sustainable as a stand-alone enterprise.
G. Preschool Programs
As part of the annual program evaluation process, fee studies were completed at the beginning of 2023, comparing fees of similar programs in
City Council Agenda Report

the area. The proposed fees keep Concord’s Preschool program competitively priced in the marketplace while remaining an affordable option for Concord residents and other customers.
H. Technology Fee Renamed
Recreation Services is recommending changing the fee titled “Technology Fee” to “Processing Fee”. The fee is charged to help offset the City’s direct transactional costs and associated with various recreation programs and rental fees. Renaming the fee to “Processing” will resolve customer confusion that technology services are included with a rental.

The Building Division is fully funded by Building Permit fees and does not receive any subsidy from the General Fund. Due to increases in staff costs and other program expenses, Building Permit fees must be increased by 10% to continue to cover all program expenses (see attached Revenue Calculations (8600-100)). This is the first increase in Building Permit fees since 2016 (7 years ago). The fixed rates, valuation- based rates, and maximums are all proposed to be increased by 10%.
D. Table 3a.C.1 & C.2 Solar PV Permit
The fee previously listed as Table 3a.C is renumbered to Table3a.C.1 and a new fee Table 3a.C.2 is created. State law requires we have automated instantaneous permitting available for Solar PV beginning September 1, 2023. This new process does not include any plan submittals so there is no plan review but requires additional time from inspectors because there are no plans to work from. The Table3a.C.2 fee is created for Solar PV

permits that follow this new process, removing all plan check fees and adding costs to the inspection fees. The existing process will still be available for those that want to get plans approved so both fee categories are needed.
E. Table 3b.A, B, C
The Multi-Family Inspection Program (Program) fees have been restructured to a much simpler format. This will make Program budgeting much easier and help property owners estimate and understand their fees easier. It will simplify the processes to assess, bill and invoice fees as well. Instead of multiple formula-based fee items that are applied differently each year of the Program’s two-year cycle, most fees have been combined into one per-unit fee that will be applied equally both years of the program’s two-year cycle. Unit reinspection fees have also been converted from a formula-based fee to a simple hourly fee. The conversion of the fee structure is calculated using the same total program fee revenues as the existing fee structure, so the conversion itself does not create a fee increase. While the overall Program revenue totals are set equal, there will be some difference in total fees to each individual property. Changing the fees from a formula-based equation to a per-unit fee decreases the total fees for smaller properties by approximately 20% and increases the fees for larger properties by approximately 4%. This results in a more equitable fee distribution between property sizes and makes the Program more affordable for small business owners. Under the current fee schedule smaller properties are charged fees at a higher cost per-unit than larger properties. This new fee structure will make the cost per-unit the same for all properties regardless of size. Separate from the fee structure conversion, Program expenses will increase over the next two years requiring an overall fee increase of 4.5% to fund the Program.
This has been incorporated in the final proposed per-unit rates. Building staff reviewed these fee changes with the California Apartment Association and they expressed support for the simplification of the fees.

associated with other development applications”, and Four (4) or more protected tree removals (not associated with other development applications).”
B. Sewer Capacity (Connection) Fee
The current sewer capacity fee (formerly referred to as the sewer connection fee) was last updated in 2012, and is below the regional average fee. According to the methodology prepared by Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) in the Sewer Capacity Fee Study dated May 2, 20232, the recommended increase in the capacity fee is 19.3%. This increase will be applied to all sewer capacity fee categories and implemented over a two year period: 9.65% this year and 9.65% the following year.
Additionally, all years following this year, an inflationary increase equal to the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index (CCI) for the San Francisco Region will be implemented. ADUs will be calculated using a square footage basis to align with recent State laws. See Attachment 2, Resolution amending Sewer Capacity (Connection) Fees. These fee adjustments were reviewed by the Infrastructure and Facilities Committee (Obringer/Hoffmeister) and they recommend approval to their colleagues.

Combined the minor and major as having the distinction proved not to be useful.
E. Minor Use Permits
For minor use permit and minor use permit amendment applications, changing the fixed fee, which assumed eight hours of staff time, to a deposit with actual hours. The current fixed fee is not adequate when a project requires a public hearing. Requiring a deposit and charging for actual hours will better ensure cost recovery.

Staff recommends increasing the Special Parking Permit fee in order to obtain partial cost recovery of parking services. The issuance of the permit is moderately complicated and it takes approximately 30-45 minutes to process each permit. The permit was issued 206 times between November 2022 and March 2023. A comparison of neighboring cities revealed that the City of Concord’s parking permit fee is low. Walnut Creek’s fee is $30 and surrounding cities including Berkeley, Emeryville, Palo Alto, and Hayward’s parking fees range from $50-$66. Increasing this fee incrementally will allow the City to move toward cost recovery in the future.
Administrative Fees (Page 2, Schedule A, Special Parking Permit, 14.1) V. Public Works
Staff recommends changes to fees related to the Transportation Division on Schedule D of the Master Fee Schedule as follows.
A. Various Fees Various Fees Based on Hourly Rates
Multiple fees are directly based on employee hourly rates. These fees are updated to match new employee hourly rates per Table T1. Where multiple positions charge the same fee, an average of the position hourly rates is used.
B. Off-Site Street Improvement Program (OSIP)
Increased by 3% to reflect increases in the preceding year due to inflation.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
May 16, 2023
Council is considering a special extraordinary rate adjustment request from Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery (MDRR) of 1.95%.
The components of solid waste rates charged to residents include the base rate, which was approved in March 2022, the Refuse Rate Index or RRI which is allowable annually per the franchise agreement, and, if approved by Council, a special extraordinary adjustment which may be allowed outside of the annual schedules of the Base Year rate and RRI adjustment. It is at the discretion of the City Council to accept the requested increase through the Special Extraordinary Rate Adjustment provision in the Franchise Agreement.
Any updated rate would be effective July 1, 2023. The specific rate increases on included on Page 40 of Exhibit A to Attachment 1.
The 4.61% base rate was previously approved by City Council March 2022 and the 7% RRI is allowable per the franchise agreement. City Council authorization is required for approval of the 1.95% special extraordinary rate adjustment. If the special extraordinary adjustment request of 1.95% is approved, MDRR’s fees will increase 13.56%. The City Council may deny the special extraordinary adjustment of 1.95%, resulting in an increase of
11.61%. Although, the denial will result in greater rates in future years, as MDRR must adjust its rates to reflect current economic conditions. Per the Franchise Agreement, if denied, the 1.95% would be added to next year’s RRI.
R3 Consulting Group reviewed and validated the mathematical accuracy and the correct use of indices in the analysis of MDRR’s RRI calculation and the special extraordinary rate adjustment request. Additionally, the Infrastructure and Franchise Committee reviewed the special extraordinary rate adjustment in April 2023. The Infrastructure and Franchise Committee supports the special extraordinary rate adjustment and recommend approval to their colleagues.
Attachment 4 is the solid waste rates comparison of the 19 Contra Costa County cities. The chart compares surrounding jurisdictions residential solid waste rates by solid waste container sizes of 32 gallon, 64 gallon, and 96 gallon. City of Concord rates are comparable or lower than the regional average depending on container size. The comparison also includes a list of jurisdictions and whether or not solid waste rates include all the costs for Senate Bill 1383, Mandatory Organics Recycling. Factors that might contribute to a “partial” in this column include a phased implementation of a rate increase (such as Concord), anticipated rate increases above CPI this coming year and/or current, ongoing negotiations for an amendment that includes SB 1383 services.

The anticipated revenues are reflected in the proposed budget for FY 2023-24.
Budget Adjustment or Transfer Required

/
WHEREAS, the City Council provides a variety of municipal services; and WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 78-6042 on October 9, 1978, establishing a master resolution within which various municipal fees and charges would be located; and
WHEREAS, amendments to Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 78-6042 are necessary to establish or delete various fees; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance has recommended that the City Council approve an amendment to certain fees which are currently set forth in Exhibit “A” to this Resolution No. 23- 6042.1; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered and provided direction to staff on base rates to adopt for Sanitation and Refuse fees in Fiscal Year 2023-24; and WHEREAS, to the extent that this resolution is determined to have resulted in the imposition of any fees, rates, or charges for services or facilities in connection with the solid waste system providing services within the City’s territorial limits, those charges are adopted pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 5471; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, at its meeting of May 16, 2023, received a report from the Director of Finance identifying the basis by which such charges were calculated; and WHEREAS, the report from the Director of Finance establishes that the charges imposed for the use of City services or for the administration of the City’s regulatory programs do not exceed the City’s costs of providing those services or administering those regulatory programs; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code sections 66016 and 66018 the enactment or increase in any fees to be charged for services must be adopted by the City Council by ordinance or Attachment 1

resolution, after providing notice and holding a public hearing; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code sections 66016 and 66019, the data required to be made available to the public prior to increasing the amount of the fees by this resolution was made available for public review at least 10 days prior to the date of this meeting; and WHEREAS, notice of a public hearing on the new and increased user fees was published in accordance with Government Code sections 66018 and 6062a; and WHEREAS, the City Council held public hearing on May 16, 2023, at which time any and all members of the public were afforded an opportunity to address the City Council regarding this matter; and
WHEREAS, upon close of the public hearings the City Council deliberated upon the information received during the course of the public hearings.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CONCORD DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are incorporated by reference. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively, “CEQA”), the updates to the City’s Master Fees and Charges Schedule do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), or 15378 because the fiscal activities do not involve a commitment to a specific project, it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In addition, the proposed amendments are categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), “Review for Exemptions” of the CEQA Guidelines because there is no possibility that the updates to the City’s Master Fees and Charges Schedule may have a significant effect on the environment, and no further environmental review is required. No unusual circumstances are present. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.
Section 2. Exhibit “A” to resolution No. 78-6042 is hereby amended as set forth in Exhibit “A” of this Resolution. Only the highlighted fees or fees shown in redline are being altered, amended,
Res No. 22-6042.1 3
or increased. All other fees set forth in Exhibit “A” will remain in effect as originally adopted.
Section 3. The fees established by this resolution shall become effective on July 1, 2023 and July 16, 2023 as indicated in Exhibit “A” with the following exceptions: 1) Special Events fees which become effective September 1 of each year, 2) certain fees in Recreation Services which become effective January 1 or June 1 of each year, and 3) Community Development fees applicable to development projects are effective July 16, 2023 and 4) Sewer Capacity Fees which, pursuant to Resolution 23-XX (A Resolution Amending Sewer Capacity (Connection) fees), become effective July 16, 2023, and in each year thereafter, in accordance with the Sewer Capacity Fee Study, and any increases in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay Area.
Section 4. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.

General:
The Department Director or their designee will set specific fees within the authorized range. The City’s goal is to charge user fees that are comparable to neighboring agencies, fair and reasonable for the facility or service provided, and which offset operating costs as much as possible. The Director/designee is authorized to offer a limited number of discounted rates or special promotional packages as sales promotion incentives or pilot programs, where applicable.
For services requested of City full-time and part-staff which have no fee listed in this fee schedule, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee shall determine the appropriate fee based on the established hourly rates for this division. Additionally, the City will pass-through to the patron any discrete costs incurred from the use of external service providers if required, including an administrative fee of 20% to cover the associated Citywide overhead costs.

Referenced in Schedule:
[C] Withdrawal application and refund of fee:
[D] Fixed fees include a maximum of two completeness reviews and two public meetings. Additional completeness reviews will be charged, based upon the adopted hourly rate. [E] Fee exempt from Technology Fee.
[F] City subsidized fee.
1) If written request to withdraw an application is submitted within three (3) workdays of filing an application, the full filing fee shall be refundable. (12-28-92) 2) If written request to withdraw an application is submitted after three (3) and within seven (7) workdays of filing an application, forty precent (40%) of the filing fee shall be refundable. (12-28-92) 3) If no written request for withdrawal is submitted by the time specified in 1) or 2) above, no part of the filing fee shall be refundable. (12-28-92) [B] Trust Account Deposit Required. Fees billed on an hourly basis require an upfront deposit of estimated fees (see "Trust Account Information" below); the totals provided on this line item represent the required minimum deposit. The Chief Building Official, City Engineer, Planning Manager or Economic Development Manager may adjust the required minimum deposit based on the project parameters and any additional information they may have. Additionally, all outside consultant costs required for the project are billed at actual cost plus 20% administrative costs to cover the City's costs of administering the requisite contract; a deposit to a trust account is required prior to any work commencing, and will be calculated based upon the consultant's estimate (including any contingency amount) plus 20%. Funds will be drawn down from the applicant's trust account as needed to pay the actual invoices and associated 20% admin fee on amounts paid.
Additional Trust Account Information Refunds of unused trust account balances will be provided upon request. Any amounts remaining in an inactive trust account will be forfeited by the depositor and/or applicant; if the remaining balance is $15 or less, account will be considered inactive after one year from date of last transaction, and in all other instances, the account will be considered inactive after four years from date of last transaction.
For services rendered by City staff which have no fee listed in this section of the fee schedule, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee shall determine the appropriate fee based on the established hourly rates for the applicable City staff as provided in Table 1. Additionally, the City will pass-through to the applicant any discrete costs incurred from the use of external service providers if required to process the specific application, including an administrative fee of 20% to cover the associated Citywide overhead costs.
[A] Security Deposits (also called Refundable Security Deposits) are required in an amount equal to the expected cost of restoring City property, public infrastructure or right-of-way to its original condition. Security deposits are refundable when the deposit condition has been satisfied, but may at that time be applied by the City to any unpaid fees, hourly charges, or other costs associated with the project, after construction or other pledged purposes have been met. Applicants must request refunds of security deposits within 30 days of acceptance by the City or 30 days of permit finalization (unless otherwise stated in the Master Fee Schedule.) Any deposits unclaimed after four years from the date of the deposit will be forfeited.
Overpayment Information Any permit overpayment made by check of $15 or more will be processed for refund by check. Such refunds may take up to three weeks. Any permit overpayment made by check less than $15 will be forfeited by the applicant, as the cost to the City of processing such refunds exceeds the refund amount. Overpayments made by credit card follow the same guidelines unless the charge can be voided and correctly processed. 20

A Resolution Amending Sewer Capacity (Connection) Fees
Resolution No. 23-XX
/
WHEREAS, the City hired Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) to review sewer capacity (connection) fees to determine if they are adequate to pay for the costs of existing and planned public improvements that provide capacity to serve new development; and WHEREAS, BWA submitted a Sewer Capacity Fee Study dated May 2, 2023 (“Sewer Capacity Fee Study”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated by reference), which recommends increasing the sewer capacity fees and establishes a reasonable relationship between the fee amounts and the sewer infrastructure necessary to serve new development; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code sections 66013 and 66016, notice of the time and place of the meeting, including a general explanation of the matters to be considered and a statement that required data is available was mailed at least 14 days prior to the meeting to those members of the public who filed a written request with the City; and

RE: Concord Sewer Capacity Fee Study
Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) is pleased to submit the attached Sewer Capacity Fee Study. The report develops updated sewer capacity fees that are designed to equitably recover the costs of infrastructure and assets benefiting new development.
The City of Concord’s existing sewer capacity fee was last updated in 2012; the goal of the study is to update the City’s sewer capacity fee based on current estimates of asset values and estimated depreciation.
Proposed capacity fees are calculated under a “buy-in” methodology. This method is widely used among California wastewater agencies and is appropriate given that the existing Concord service area does not require significant capacity related collection system improvements to accommodate new development.
A summary of proposed fees is shown on Table 4 of this report.
Customers currently pay based on customer category – single family homes pay a flat fee, while multifamily customers pay based on the number of bedrooms and units. Commercial customers pay per fixture unit. Accessory dwelling units pay based on two categories of square footage of floor area.
Proposed fees maintain the current fee methodology and categories with one change: accessory dwelling units are proposed to pay in proportion to the square footage of floor area rather than pay a flat fee based on two categories of floor area.
Proposed Fee - (Single Family Home):
o July 15, 2023: $5,530
o July 1, 2024: $6,016 + (Increase in San Francisco Area Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index from February of the previous year to February of the current year) o Ongoing Increases on July 1 each year thereafter: (Increase in San Francisco Area Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index from February of the previous year to February of the current year).
We enjoyed working with the City on this assignment and appreciate the input and assistance received from City staff throughout the project.

The City of Concord also provides collection system maintenance services to the collection system lines of the City of Clayton and some lines in the unincorporated regions of Contra Costa County that discharge to the Clayton system. The City of Concord manages and maintains a wastewater collection and conveyance system, catering to both Concord and Clayton’s areas. The proposed capacity fee was calculated based solely on the assets and systems that the City of Concord owns and is responsible for maintaining.
The City currently levies sewer capacity fees on new development within the City’s service area. These capacity fees are generally designed to recover costs for capacity in City owned sewer system infrastructure. This report develops a sewer capacity fee for new and expanded connections to the City’s sewer system.
Objectives
Key objectives of the study include:
Develop a new sewer capacity fee that:
o Recovers the costs of infrastructure benefits to new development as evaluated in the May 2021 Sewer System Management Plan;
o Equitably recover costs from new connections to the City’s Service Area; o Are consistent with industry-standard practices and methodologies; o Comply with government code.
This report presents key findings and capacity fee recommendations for City consideration. The recommendations presented in this report incorporate input from City staff and Committee Members.
Government Code
Development impact fees are governed by California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq. commonly known as AB1600. The Code refers to impact fees as capacity charges since their purpose is to recover an equitable share of costs for capacity in infrastructure.
Section 66013 of the Code specifically governs water and sewer capacity charges and states that the fee “shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed” unless approved by a two-thirds vote.
The Code also states that "Capacity charge means a charge for public facilities in existence at the time a charge is imposed or charges for new public facilities to be acquired or constructed in the future that are of proportional benefit to
6 the person or property being charged.” The Code does not detail any specific method for determining an appropriate fee.
Section 66013 also identifies various accounting requirements for capacity fee revenues, notably that such revenues cannot be co-mingled with other revenues and must be used solely for the purpose for which the fee was imposed.
Section 66016 of the Code identifies the procedural requirements for adopting or increasing a water or sewer capacity charge. Key procedural requirements include the following:
“Prior to levying a new fee or service charge, or prior to approving an increase in an existing fee or service charge, a local agency shall hold at least one open and public meeting, at which oral or written presentations can be made, as part of a regularly scheduled meeting.
Any action by a local agency to levy a new fee or service charge or to approve an increase in an existing fee or service charge shall be taken only by ordinance or resolution. The legislative body of a local agency shall not delegate the authority to adopt a new fee or service charge, or to increase a fee or service charge.
For any fee, notice of the time and place of the meeting, including a general explanation of the matter to be considered, and a statement that the data required by this subdivision is available shall be mailed at least 14 days prior to the first meeting to an interested party who files a written request with the city, county, or city and county for mailed notice of a meeting on a new or increased fee to be enacted by the city, county, or city and county.
Any written request for mailed notices shall be valid for one year from the date on which it is filed unless a renewal request is filed. Renewal requests for mailed notices shall be filed on or before April 1 of each year. The legislative body of the city, county, or city and county may establish a reasonable annual charge for sending notices based on the estimated cost of providing the service. The legislative body may send the notice electronically.
At least 10 days prior to the meeting, the city, county, or city and county shall make available to the public the data indicating the amount of cost, or the estimated cost, required to provide the public facilities and the revenue sources anticipated to fund those public facilities, including general fund revenues.
The new or increased fee shall be effective no earlier than 60 days following the final action on the adoption or increase of the fee, unless the city, county, or city and county follows the procedures set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 66017.”
7 Current Sewer Capacity Fees
Table 1 shows a summary of the current City of Concord capacity fees. Customers currently pay based on customer category – single family homes pay a flat fee, while multifamily customers pay based on the number of bedrooms and units. Commercial customers pay per fixture unit. Accessory dwelling units pay based on two categories of square footage of floor area.

8 2. Capacity Fee Calculations
This section details the calculation of updated capacity fees under the buy in approach. The fees were calculated and designed to be simple and straightforward to implement.
General Fee Calculation Methodology
The general methodology used in this report is summarized below.
Fee Methodology Alternatives
There are many methods for calculating capacity fees. This section explores the various approaches.
Buy-In Only Approach (Recommended)
Under this approach, the fee is based on the value of existing facilities and assets (in current dollars) divided by the capacity of the wastewater system. The buy-in approach is more commonly used by agencies with sewer systems that require minimal facility capacity improvements.
Alternative A: Buy-In + Expansion Cost Approach
Under this approach, the capacity fee includes two components: a) a buy-in component to recover an equitable share of costs for existing facilities available to serve new development (in current dollars), plus b) an expansion component to recover the cost of capacity in future facilities needed to serve projected new development.
Step 4 - Apply Cost per Unit to the Demand Units of New Development Apply the unit cost for capacity to the demands of each new development to determine an equitable capacity fee per development.
Step 3 - Calculate Cost per Unit of Capacity
Calculate the cost per unit of capacity by dividing the costs identified for fee recovery in Step 1 by the capacity of those facilities identified in Step 2 Step 2 - Identify Capacity of Facilities
Identify the corresponding capacity of facilities and assets identified in Step 1 Step 1 - Determine Cost of Facilities for Fee Recovery
Determine the recoverable cost of facilities and assets benefiting new development that will be recovered by the capacity fees
9 Alternative B: Expansion or Marginal Cost Approach
Under this approach, the fee is based on the cost of future expansion-related improvements (in current dollars) divided by the increase in system capacity associated with those improvements. Fees calculated under this approach represent the marginal cost of adding a unit of expansion. This approach excludes cost recovery for existing facilities and assets that provide benefit to new development.
The alternative approaches were not recommended because the City of Concord’s assets require minimal future facility capacity improvements.
Asset Valuation Method
The fees are based solely on existing asset valuations, as identified in the May 2021 Sewer System Management Plan, Table 2.
Estimated Replacement Cost Less Estimated Depreciation – The current (or replacement) value of existing facilities is estimated based on the estimated cost to replace the City’s existing asset inventory. Accumulated depreciation is estimated by factoring in age and useful life.
City of Concord System Valuation
Table 2 shows the City of Concord system valuation. The total estimated replacement cost of City of Concord sewer enterprise assets amounts to approximately $999.54 MM. Major assets included in the fee calculation are sewer pipes, which vary in size from 6” to 78”. The City of Concord’s system does not contain any pump stations and is 100% gravity fed.
10 Concord Sewer Capacity Fee Calculation
Table 3 shows an estimate of the sewer asset accumulated depreciation based on the May 2021 Sewer System Management Plan, Table 4. Based on an estimated 60 year useful life of sewer pipelines, the existing sewer collection system is estimated to be 64% depreciated. Subtracting $637.76 MM of accumulated depreciation from the estimated asset replacement cost of $999.54 MM yields a system value of $361.78 MM.
The capacity of the Concord system assets was estimated based on the actual flows of 3,973 million gallons (MG) or 10,884,932 gallons per day (GPD) in FY 2021/22. BWA projected the total flows at 20 year buildout to be 4,930 MG or 12,026,713 GPD based on 0.5% growth per year in the Concord service area.
Dividing the system value of $361.78 MM by the project 20 year buildout flow of 12,026,713 GPD derives a unit cost of $30.08 per gpd.

11 Sewer Capacity Fee Nexus
In Table 4, BWA calculated the capacity fee by customer category based on their estimated flows. For example, multiplying the estimated flows of a single family home of 200 GPD by the cost per GPD of $30.08 derives a fee of $6,016. The accessory dwelling unit fee of $3,008 per 1,000 square feet of floor area was derived by dividing the fee for single family home by 2 based on 2,000 square feet for a typical single family home.
The proposed fee is recommended to be phased in by implementing half of the increase in Year 1. For example, the fee for a single family home would increase from $5,043 to $5,530. In Year 2, the maximum fee of $6,016 is recommended to be applied, plus an adjustment for construction cost inflation.

The proposed capacity fee is recommended to include an annual adjustment tied to the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index (San Francisco Region). The Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index (San Francisco Region) provides a measure of changes in the prices for labor and construction materials. Annual capacity fee increases tied to the index are intended to retain the purchasing power of capacity fee revenue. The first annual index adjustment is recommended to be applied in Year 2 to allow for a gradual phase in of the proposed fee increase.

USER FEES AND CHARGES RECOVERY
1. PURPOSE
To establish policy guidelines for setting and updating User Fees and Charges; establish cost recovery goals; and ensure compliance with State law.
2. GENERAL
California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID [Prop 218], Article XIIIC §1(e) [Prop 26] and Article XIIIA [Proposition 13] have placed both substantive and procedural limits on cities’ ability to impose fees and charges. This policy establishes a process for Concord’s User Fees and Charges to be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis to ensure that fees do not exceed the City’s costs of providing services; keep pace with changes in the costs of providing the services; and keep pace with changes in methods of levels of service delivery.
3. REVIEW AND UPDATE
A comprehensive analysis of City costs and fees should be conducted at least every five years. In the interim, fees will be adjusted by annual changes in labor costs as approved by the City Council with the exception of Special Events Fees, which shall be adjusted by 3% per annum. Fees may also be changed based on supplemental analysis whenever there have been significant changes in the method, level or cost of service delivery.
4. POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Concord to set User Fees and Charges based on cost recovery levels in lieu of fully subsidizing fee-related activities with General Fund dollars. The cost recovery levels are reflective of the following policy statements.
4.1 Community-wide vs. Private Benefit: The level of user fee cost recovery should consider the community-wide versus private-benefit nature of the program or activity. The use of general- purpose revenues is appropriate for community-wide services, while user fees are appropriate for services that are of special benefit to easily identified individuals or groups.
4.2 Service Recipient vs. Service Driver: The concept of the service recipient versus service driver is particularly important for regulated activities such as development review and police-issued permits. It could be argued that the applicant is not the beneficiary of the City's development review efforts and that the community is the primary beneficiary. However, the applicant is the driver of development review costs, and as such, cost recovery from the applicant is appropriate.
4.3 Consistency with City Goals and Policies: City policies and Council goals related to the community’s quality of life may also be factors in setting cost recovery levels. For example, fees can promote city-wide goals, facilitate environmental stewardship, encourage compliance
POLICY & PROCEDURE
Attachment 3
POLICY & PROCEDURE NO. 170
with City regulations (e.g. water heater permits, minor but important permits to ensure safety) or discourage certain actions (e.g. false alarms, which negatively impact law enforcement).
4.4 Elasticity of Demand for Services: The level of cost recovery and related pricing of services can significantly affect the demand and subsequent level of services provided. At full cost recovery, this has the specific advantage of ensuring that the City is providing services for which there is genuinely a market that is not overly-stimulated by low fees.
Conversely, high levels of cost recovery will negatively impact the delivery of services to lower income groups. This negative feature is especially pronounced, and works against public policy, if the services are specifically targeted to low income groups.
4.5 Availability of Services from the Private Sector: High cost recovery levels are generally sought in situations where the service is available from other sources in order to preserve taxpayer funds for core City services. Conversely, services that are not available from other sources and are typically delivered when residents experience an emergency typically have low or zero cost recovery levels (e.g. response to a 911 call).
It should be noted, that the current Master Fee Schedule for recreational services includes a lower rate for Concord residents than residents living outside of Concord.
4.6 Feasibility of Collection and Recovery: Although it may be determined that a high level of cost recovery may be appropriate for specific services, it may be impractical or too costly to estab- lish a system to identify and charge the user. Accordingly, the feasibility of assessing and col- lecting charges should also be considered in developing user fees, especially if significant pro- gram costs are intended to be financed from that source.
POLICY & PROCEDURE NO. 170
Target Cost Recovery Levels
Based on these policy statements, the following table overlays certain cost recovery levels grouped in low (0- 40%), medium (40.1% to 80%), and high (80.1% to 100%) cost recovery ranges. It is important to note that these groupings provide policy guidance and are not absolute. Some policy statements may weigh more heavily than others, which may result in a different cost recovery level grouping for particular fees. For example, fees for recre- ational activities are expected to be set in general at the medium cost recovery level. However, fees for recreational activities for which there is high demand may have a high cost recovery level due to high enrollment levels per class. It is important to note that User Fees and Charges will be reviewed at least biennially by the City Council as part of approval of the Master Fee Schedule.

Policy Considerations
(one or all may apply)
Low 0% - 40% • Public at-large benefits
• No intended relationship between fee
and benefit received
• Fee collection not cost effective would
discourage compliance
• No intent to limit use of service
• Affordability of service to low-income
residents
Medium 40.1% - 80% • Services share factors of both low and high recovery levels
High 80.1% - 100% • Individuals receive most of benefit of service
• Other alternative service providers
• Use is regulatory or specifically dis-
couraged

2023 Solid Waste Rates Comparison
SB1383: The list below indicates whether all the costs for SB 1383 implementation are currently included in full in the rates. Factors that might contribute to a “partial” in this column include a phased implementation of a rate increase (such as Concord), anticipated rate increases above CPI this coming year and/or current, ongoing negotiations for an amendment that includes SB 1383 services.
