EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
NBS performed a Citywide User Fee Study (Study) for the City of Culver City . The purpose of this report is to present the findings and recommendations of the various fee analyses performed as part of the Study and provide the City with the information needed to update and establish fees for services. The Study’ s process ensures that not only are the fees and char ges reasonable and equitable, but that they also me et industry standards and uphold the statutory require ments of the State of California.
California cities, counties, and special districts may impose user and regulatory fees for services th ey provide through provisions set forth in the State C onstitution, Article XIII C § 1. Under this legal framework, a fee may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activit y.
For a fee to qualify as such, it must relate to a s ervice or activity performed at the request of an i ndividual or entity upon which the fee is imposed, or their a ctions specifically cause the local government agen cy to perform additional activities. In this instance, th e service or underlying action causing the local ag ency to perform the service is either discretionary and/or is subject to regulation. As a discretionary servic e or regulatory activity, the user fees and regulatory f ees considered in this Study fall outside of the de finition and statutory requirement to impose general taxes, special taxes, and fees as a result of property ownership.
The City’s main reason for conducting this Study wa s twofold: (1) first, to ensure that existing fees do not exceed the costs of service, and (2) second, to pro vide an opportunity for the City Council to re-alig n fee amounts with localized cost recovery policies.
1.1 Findings
The Study identified an estimated $24.6 million in eligible costs for recovery from fees for service compared to approximately $13.4 million the City is currently collecting each year from fees. The following table provides a summary o f the Study’s results :

Citywide User Fee Study 7
As shown in Table 1, the City is recovering approxi mately 54% of the costs associated with providing u ser and regulatory fee-related services. Should the Cit y Council adopt fees at 100% of the full cost recov ery amounts determined by this Study, an additional $11 .2 million in costs could be recovered.
However, Section 2.1.3 later explains, there may be other local policy considerations that support adopting fees at less than the calculated full cost recovery amount. Since this element of the Study i s subjective, NBS provided the maximum potential of f ee amounts at 100% full cost recovery for the City to consider. As such, City Staff provided initial reco mmended fee amounts for Council’s consideration. If Council elects to adopt fee levels at staff’s recom mendations, an additional $2.8 million in costs cou ld be recovered, for a 66% cost recovery outcome for serv ices provided. Once City Council has reviewed and evaluated the results of the Study, the City can se t fees at appropriate cost recovery levels accordin g to local policy goals and considerations.
1.2 Report Format
This report documents the analytical methods and da ta sources used in the Study, presents findings regarding current levels of cost recovery achieved from user and regulatory fees, discusses City staff ’s initially recommended fee amounts for City Council’ s consideration, and provides a comparative survey of fees to neighboring agencies for similar services.
The report is organized into the following sections :
Section 2 – General approach and methodology to the Fee Study. Sections 3 through 16 – Results of the analysis per formed for each department and/or fee program.
Section 17 – Grand scope conclusion of the analysis provided in the preceding sections. Appendices – Additional details of the analysis per formed and comparison of fees imposed by selected agencies for similar services.
The City’s Staff Report will include a Master Fee S chedule document which incorporates recommendations contained within this report for review and adoptio n by City Council.

2.1 Methods of Analysis
Three phases of analysis were completed for each Ci ty fee program studied:
2.1.1 COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
The Cost of Service Analysis is a quantitative effo rt that compiles the full cost of providing governm ental services and activities. There are two primary type s of costs considered: direct and indirect costs. D irect costs are those that specifically relate to an acti vity or service, including the real-time provision of the service. Indirect costs are those that support the provision of services in general but cannot be dire ctly or easily assigned to a singular activity or service.
Direct Costs:
Direct personnel costs – Salary, wages and benefits expenses for personnel specifically involved in the provision of services and activities to the public. Direct non-personnel costs – Discrete expenses attributable to a specific servi ce or activity performed, such as contractor costs, third-party ch arges, and materials used in the service or activity.
Indirect Costs:
Indirect personnel costs – Personnel expenses supporting the provision of ser vices and activities. This can include line supervision and d epartmental management, administrative support within a department, and staff involved in technical support activities related to the direct services provided to the public.
Indirect non-personnel costs – Expenses other than labor involved in the provisi on of services. In most cases, these costs are allocated across all se rvices provided by a department, rather than directly assigned to individual fee/rate categories .
Overhead costs – These are expenses, both labor and non-labor, re lated to agency-wide support services. Support services include general administ rative services such as City Manager, Finance, Human Resources, etc. The amount of costs attributa ble to the departments or divisions included in this Study were sourced from the City’s Cost Allocation Plan performed by NBS.
All cost components in this Study use annual (or an nualized) figures, representing a twelve-month cycl e of expenses incurred by each Department or Division in the provision of all services and activities City- wide.
Nearly all the fees reviewed in this Study require specific actions on the part of City staff to provi de the service or conduct the activity. Since labor is the primary underlying factor in these activities, the Study expresses the full cost of service as a fully burde ned cost per labor hour. NBS calculated a composite , fully burdened, hourly rate for each department, division , program, or activity applicable to the specific organization and needs of each area studied. This r ate serves as the basis for further quantifying the average full cost of providing individual services and acti vities. Determining the fully burdened labor rate f or each
City of Culver City
Citywide User Fee Study 11
department, and the various functional divisions wi thin a department, requires two data sets: (1) the full costs of service, and (2) the number of staff hours available to perform those services. NBS derived t he hours available based on the complete list of all City em ployees and/or available service hours of its contr acted professionals (where applicable).
The City supplied NBS with the total number of paid labor hours for each employee involved in the deli very of services included in this Study. These available hours represent the amount of productive time avai lable to provide both fee-recoverable and non-fee recover able services and activities. Available labor hours divided into the annual full costs of service equal the composite, fully burdened, labor rate. Some ag encies may also use the resulting rates for purposes other than setting fees, such as calculating the full co st of general services or structuring a cost recovery agr eement with another agency or third party.
NBS also assisted the City in estimating the staff time for the services and activities listed in the City’s fee schedule. Time tracking records for the fee program s studied as part of this analysis, when available, proved useful in identifying time spent providing general categories of service (e.g., division administratio n, plan review, inspection, public information assistance, etc.). However, the City does not systematically tr ack the service time of activities for all departments or a ll individual fee-level services provided. Therefor e, NBS also relied on interviews and questionnaires to develop the necessary data sets of estimated labor time. In many cases, the City provided estimates of the average a mount of time (in minutes and hours) it took to com plete a typical service or activity considered on a per-o ccurrence basis.
Development of time estimates to inform various fee calculations was not a one-step process but requir ed careful review by both NBS and department or divisi on managers to assess the reasonableness of such estimates. Based on the results of this review, the City reconsidered its time estimates until all par ties were comfortable that the fee models reasonably reflecte d the average service level provided by the City. F inally, the fully burdened labor rate(s) calculated in earl ier steps were applied at the individual fee level time estimates, yielding an average total cost of provid ing each fee for service or activity. The following provides a visual representation of the steps discussed in thi s section.

Citywide User Fee Study 12
2.1.2 FEE ESTABLISHMENT
The fee establishment process includes a range of c onsiderations, including the following:
Addition to and deletion of fees – The Study provided each department with the oppor tunity to propose additions and deletions to their current fe e schedules, as well as re-name, re-organize, and clarify which fees were to be imposed. Many of these fee revisions allowed for better adherence to current practices, as well as the impr ovement in the calculation, application, and collection of the fees owed by an individual. Some additions to the fee schedule were simply the identification of existing services or activities p erformed by City staff for which no fee is currently charged.
Revision to the structure of fees – In most cases, the focus was to re-align the fee amount to match the costs of service and leave the current st ructure of fees unchanged. However, in several cases, fee categories and fee names had to be simplified or re-structured to increase the likelihood of full cost recovery or to enhance the fairness of how the fee is applied to the various types of fee payers.
Documentation of the tools used to calculate specia l cost recovery – The City’s fee schedule should include the list of fully burdened rates dev eloped by the Study. Documenting these rates in the fee schedule provides an opportunity for the City Council to approve rates for cost recovery under a “time and materials” approach. It also provides clear publication of those rates so that all fee payers can readily reference the ba sis of any fee amounts. The fee schedule should provide language that supports special forms of cost recovery for activities and services not included in the adopted master fee schedule. In these rare instances, published rates are used to estimate a flat fee or bill on an hourly ba sis, which is at the department director’s discretion.
2.1.3 COST RECOVERY EVALUATION
The NBS fee model compares the existing fee for eac h service or activity to the average total cost of service quantified through this analysis. Here are the poss ible outcomes of the fee analysis:
Cost recovery rate of 0% - This signifies that ther e is currently no current recovery of costs from fee revenues (or insufficient information available for evaluation). Cost recovery rate of 100% - This means that the fe e currently recovers the full cost of service. Cost recovery rate between 0% and 100% - This indic ates partial recovery of the full cost of service through fees.
Cost recovery rate greater than 100% - This means t hat the fee exceeds the full cost of service.
User fees and regulatory fees should not exceed the full cost of service.
In all cases, the cost recovery rate achieved by a fee should not be greater than 100%. In most cases, imposing a fee above this threshold could change th e definition of the charge from a cost of service b ased fee to a tax which has other procedural requirement s, such as ballot protest or voter approval.
NBS assisted with modeling the “recommended” or “ta rget” level of cost recovery for each fee, establis hed at either 100% or any amount less than the calculat ed full cost of service. Targets and recommendation s reflect discretion on the part of the agency based on a variety of factors, such as existing City poli cies and
City of Culver City
Citywide User Fee Study 13
agency-wide or departmental revenue objectives, eco nomic goals, community values, market conditions, level of demand, and others.
A general method of selecting an appropriate cost r ecovery target is to consider the public and privat e benefits of the service or activity in question, su ch as:
To what degree does the public at large benefit fro m the service? To what degree does the individual or entity reques ting, requiring, or causing the service benefit?
When a service or activity benefits the public at l arge, there is generally little to no recommended f ee amount (i.e., 0% cost recovery), reinforcing the fa ct that a service which truly benefits the public i s best funded by general resources of the City, such as re venues from the General Fund (e.g., taxes). Convers ely, when a service or activity wholly benefits an indiv idual or entity, the cost recovery is generally clo ser to or equal to 100% of cost recovery from fees collected from the individual or entity.
In some cases, a strict public-versus-private benef it judgment may not be sufficient to finalize a cos t recovery target. Any of the following factors and c onsiderations may influence or supplement the publi c- versus-private benefit perception of a service or a ctivity:
If optimizing revenue potential is an overriding go al, is it feasible to recover the full cost of service?
Will increasing fees result in non-compliance or pu blic safety problems? Are there desired behaviors or modifications to beh aviors of the service population helped or hindered through the degree of pricing for the acti vities? Does current demand for services support a fee incr ease without adverse impact to the community served or current revenue levels? In othe r words, would fee increases have the unintended consequence of driving away the populati on served? Is there a good policy basis for differentiating be tween the type of user (e.g., residents vs. non- residents, residential vs. commercial, non-profit e ntities, and business entities)? Are there broader City objectives that merit a less than full cost recovery target from fees, such as economic development goals and local social valu es? NBS provided the cost of service calculation based on 100% full cost recovery and the framework for th e City’s use to adjust the amount of cost recovery in accordance with its broader goals as they pertain to code compliance, cost recovery, economic development, an d social values.
2.1.4 COMPARATIVE FEE SURVEY
Appendix B presents the results of the Comparative Fee Survey for the City. Policy makers often reques t a comparison of their jurisdictional fees to those of surrounding or similar communities. The purpose of a comparison is to provide a sense of the local marke t pricing for services, and to use that information to gauge the impact of recommendations for fee adjustm ents.
In this effort, NBS worked with the City to choose five comparative agencies – Beverly Hills, Santa Mo nica, West Hollywood, Burbank and City of Los Angeles. It is important to keep the following in mind when interpreting the general approach to, and use of, c omparative survey data:
City of Culver City
Citywide User Fee Study 14
Comparative surveys do not provide information abou t cost recovery policies or procedures inherent in each comparison agency.
A “market-based” decision to price services below t he full cost of service calculation is the same as deciding to subsidize that service.
Comparative agencies may or may not base their fee amounts on the estimated and reasonable cost of providing services. NBS did not perform the same level of analysis of the comparative agencies’ fees.
The results of comparative fee surveys are often no n-conclusive for many fee categories.
Comparison agencies typically use varied terminolog y for the provision of similar services.
NBS made every reasonable attempt to source each co mparison agency’s fee schedule from their respectiv e websites and compile a comparison of fee categories and amounts for the most readily comparable fee items that match the City’s existing fee structure.
2.1.5 DATA SOURCES
The following data sources were used to support thi s Study:
The City’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23
A complete list of all City personnel, salary/wage rates, regular hours, paid benefits, and paid leave amounts provided by the Finance Department. C ontracted positions and associated costs were also incorporated where applicable.
Prevailing fee schedules
Annual workload data provided by each department an d/or fee program evaluated in the Study The City’s adopted budget serves as an important so urce of information that affects the cost of servic e results. NBS did not audit or validate the City’s f inancial documents and budget practices, nor was th e cost information adjusted to reflect different levels of service or any specific, targeted performance benc hmarks.
This Study accepts the City’s budget as a legislati vely adopted directive describing the most appropri ate and reasonable level of City spending. NBS consultants accept the City Council’s deliberative process and the City’s budget plan and further assert that through this legislative process, the City has yielded a re asonable and valid expenditure plan to use in setting cost-b ased fees.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT – TREASURY DIVISION
The Finance Department provides fiscal advice, info rmation, and services to city officials, city depar tments, and the public to ensure a robust financial positio n of the city and the community. The department’s responsibilities include cash handling, budgeting, financial forecasting, and debt management. The Fin ance Treasury Division manages the department’s personne l, ensures timely and accurate financial operations and reporting, and provides centralized administrat ive support and leadership for the department’s div isions and its staff.
Finance provides a number of services for which a u ser or regulatory fee may be charged, including bus iness tax certificates and permits, taxi permits, as well as tobacco retailer licenses.
3.1 Cost of Service Analysis
For the Finance Department, fees were calculated ut ilizing a single fully burdened labor rate for the Treasury Division as shown in Table 2 below:
Table 2. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate
Section 2.1, Methods of Analysis, further describes the types of expenditures and al located costs considered in the development of the rate. The total annual co st of the Finance Department – Treasury Division is approximately $1.9 million. However, it should be n oted that the majority of these annual costs are associated with non-fee related activities, therefo re, only a small percentage of the total annual cos ts are eligible for recovery from fee for service activiti es. All subsequent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assume a fully burdened hourly rate of $154 .

Reorganization of fee categories or clarification o f fee names to create a more user-friendly fee structure such as:
o Moved the Business Plan Review Fee to the Planning fee schedule o Consolidated the Annual Administrative Review Fee f or Massage Facilities to one fee o Separated the Business Transfer fee into outside of renewal process and during renewal process categories
o Revised the Games, Amusements and Entertainment Fee to provide better clarity for the types of businesses commonly reviewed, such as Card rooms and Fortune Tellers Addition of new fee categories, notated as “New” in the Current Fee / Deposit column of Appendix A.1:
o Sidewalk Vending Permits - a fee adopted by City Co uncil in 2024 and re-evaluated through this fee study
o Credit Card Transaction “Convenience” Fee - CA Gove rnment Code 6159 (h)(1) allows local agencies to, “impose a fee for the use of a c redit or debit card or electronic funds transfer, not to exceed the costs incurred by the a gency or agent in providing for payment by credit or debit card or electronic fund transfer”. o E-Check (ACH online payment) Fee
3.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation
Appendix A.1 presents the results of the detailed c ost recovery analysis for the City’s Finance Depart ment, Treasury Division. In the Appendix, the “Cost of Se rvice per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Name” list.
Using current rates, we estimate that the City will recover approximately 89% of anticipated costs to provide services. As Table 3 shows, the City collects appro ximately $757,000 per year in revenue at the curren t fee amounts. At full cost recovery and the same demand level for these services, the City would recover approximately $835,000. Most of the decrease in fee revenues is associated with Business Tax Certifica te Applications and Renewals fees for services, which used to be processed internally by City staff and a re now partially outsourced to a third party for certain t asks.

4.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation
In 2018 the City established the Cannabis Business Permit program. After one year of administering the program, the City placed the program on hold and st opped the issuance of new permits for businesses du e to a shift in City priorities. Renewals and some mi scellaneous fees did continue in order to ensure th at established permits remained current. New cannabis permits will resume in FY25, which will generate additional revenue.
Appendix A.2 presents the results of the detailed c ost recovery analysis for the City’s Cannabis Busin ess Permit program. In the Appendix, the “Cost of Servi ce per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Name” list. This includes co sts for review of each permit for all supporting department s/divisions’ review as required by the City’s estab lished permit review processes. Due to a re-evaluation of the Program, and implementing improved process, several fees have decreased from the Program’s init ial implementation.
Using current rates, we estimate that the City will recover approximately 334% of anticipated costs to provide services. As Table 5 shows, the City collec ts approximately $159,000 per year in revenue at th e current fee amounts. At full cost recovery and the same demand level for these services, the City woul d recover approximately $48,000.
Table 5. Cost Recovery Outcomes
NBS provided the full cost of service information a nd the framework for considering fees, while the Fi nance Division and City executive management staff consid ered appropriate cost recovery levels at or below t hat full cost.
The “Recommended Fee / Deposit Level” column in App endix A.2 displays the City staff’s initial recommended fee amounts. City staff recommends all fees to recover 100% of the costs of providing services.

CURRENT PLANNING DIVISION
The Current Planning Division serves the residents and businesses of Culver City by regulating the use of land based on the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, whi ch contain the City's adopted policies and regulati ons.
The Division’s responsibilities also include: admin istering the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) as it pertains to new development projects and regulat ions, monitoring and analyzing the impact of region al planning issues, and provide staff support to the P lanning Commission and City Council through the processing of site plan reviews, subdivisions, rezo ning, use permits and other entitlements.
5.1 Cost of Service Analysis
The following table shows the Current Planning Divi sion’s estimated full cost of providing services on an annual basis and the fully burdened cost per hour d eveloped for cost recovery purposes through fees fo r services.
Table 6. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate
As Table 6 above shows, the Division’s total cost o f providing services is approximately $2.8 million per year. $2.2 million in costs are targeted for recovery fro m the City’s fees for services, with the remaining $580,000 as best funded via sources other than fees. All sub sequent cost of service calculations at the individ ual fee level assume a fully burdened hourly rate of $300 .
Based on interviews with Division staff, the analys is separates the Division’s overall services into f our primary cost categories: (1) Public Counter Duty, ( 2) General Plan Maintenance & Update, (3) Code Amendments, and (4) Current Planning Direct Service s. To clarify the costs and assumptions used to calculate the fully burdened hourly rate, here is a summary of the descriptions for each cost category :
Public Counter Duty – Activities associated with responding to phone call s and general information requests that support the development r eview process. Typically, some portion of costs for the provision of general public informati on and assistance do not apply toward recovery from fees and are considered a basic funct ion of governmental services to the public.
Planning staff estimated that approximately 60% of these costs support land use application review activities, while the remaining costs should not be considered in the calculation of fees for services.

Citywide User Fee Study 21
General Plan Maintenance & Update – Groups of tasks and activities devoted to the advan ce or long range planning efforts of the City, including the maintenance and cyclical update of the Citywide General Plan and local Zoning Ordinances a nd related studies. These costs are considered non-recoverable from fees, but rather as part of a separate “General Plan Maintenance” fee on top of relevant planning and bu ilding permits. Therefore, NBS calculated a separate General Plan Maintenance Fee for recovery of these costs as part of the Study. Code Amendments – Planning Division staff actively process ongoing Zo ning Code amendments that reflect the City’s changing policies and regul ations. These costs are not recommended for recovery from Planning fees.
Current Planning Direct Services – This task is comprised mostly of development review and approval; therefore, 100% of these costs are recove rable from its routine fees for service.
The fully burdened hourly rate involves significant analytical and policy-related decisions regarding the inclusion of categorized activity costs. The decisi on to either include or exclude certain costs towar d recovery in fees for service stems from the basic f ee setting parameters set forth by industry standar d fee calculation methods and the California State Consti tution. State statutes require that any new fee tha t is levied or any existing fee that is increased should not exceed the estimated amount required to provid e the service for which the charge is levied.
5.2 Fee Establishment
The following is a summary of the overall changes t o the Current Planning Division fee schedule:
Deletion of fees that are no longer used or needed:
o Applicant Request Case Continuation
o Large Family Daycare Centers
o New Oil Well Application fee
o Site Plan Review fees for Tentative Parcel Map (TPM ) and Tentative Tract Map (TTM) o Surcharge for new, additional, or replacement Const ruction (with discretionary application), for both Residential and Non-Resident ial o Over Street/Right Of Way for Temporary Banner Permi ts

5.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation
Appendix A.3 presents the results of the detailed c ost recovery analysis for the City’s Current Planni ng Division. In the Appendix, the “Cost of Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Name” list.
Note, the Cost of Service per Activity is reflectiv e of the Current Planning Division’s costs for revi ew of each entitlement/permit. To recover costs of other City departments that provide routine review of Planning applications such as the Fire, Building Safety, and Transportation departments/divisions, a separate s chedule of fees is shown on their corresponding fee schedul es.
Using current rates, we estimate that the City will recover approximately 35% of anticipated costs to provide services. As Table 7 shows on the following page, t he City collects approximately $723,000 per year in revenue at the current fee amounts. At full cost re covery and the same demand level for these services , the City would recover approximately $2.1 million.

BUILDING SAFETY DIVISION
The Building Safety Division was established to pro tect those individuals who live and work in the Cit y by enforcing building safety standards set forth in th e State’s building codes, as well as its municipal codes and policies. It is the responsibility of the Building Safety Division to review and approve plans, and pe rform field inspections to ensure that the work performed under an issued building permit is being done according to the approved plans.
6.1 Cost of Service Analysis
NBS calculated the total estimated annual cost of s ervices provided by the Building Safety Division, separated by those costs that are eligible and/or t argeted for recovery in fees for service and those that require another funding source other than fees. The costs recoverable through fees were also translate d into a fully burdened hourly rate for the purposes of in dividual fee calculations. Table 8 summarizes the outcomes of the analysis:
Table 8. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate
As Table 8 above shows, the Division’s total cost o f providing services is approximately $4.8 million per year. $4.7 million in costs are targeted for recovery fro m the City’s fees for services, with the remaining $89,000 as best funded via sources other than fees. All subseq uent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assumes a fully burdened hourly rate of $152 during normal business hours, and $165 after business hours.
Based on interviews with Division staff, the analys is separated the Division’s overall services into t hree primary cost categories: (1) Public Counter Duty, ( 2) Code Enforcement Activities, and (3) Building Sa fety Direct Services – Processing, Plan Check, and Inspe ction. To clarify the underlying costs and assumpti ons used to calculate the fully burdened hourly rate, h ere is a summary of the descriptions for each cost category:

Building staff estimated that approximately 90% of these costs support land use application review activities, while the remaining costs should not be considered in the calculation of fees for services.
Code Enforcement Activities – Work activities in response to a complaint received by the Building Safety Division related to violation of a prior condition of approval, City Ordinance or State law. Includes complaint investigation, follow up, and any associated abatement or enforcement actions. None of these costs are recomm ended for recovery in the City’s user and regulatory fees for service.
Building Direct Services – Processing, Plan Check, and Inspection – The Division’s responsibilities are comprised mostly of development review and approval; therefore, 100% of these costs are targeted for recovery in fees for s ervices.
The results of this Cost of Service Analysis conclu de that the Building Safety Division is eligible to recover approximately 98% of the total annual cost of provi ding services from building related user/regulatory fees for service.
The fully burdened hourly rate involves significant analytical and policy-related decisions regarding the inclusion of categorized activity costs.

6.2 Fee Establishment
The following is a summary of the overall changes t o the Building Safety Division fee schedule:
Deletion of Work Permit Fee – to begin work while i n plan check
Reorganization of fee categories or clarification o f fee names:
o Added three additional valuation tiers to Building Permit Fees to ensure fees are reasonable for large projects:
5,000,001 – 10,000,000
10,000,001 – 50,000,000
50,000,001 +
o Consolidated building, electrical, mechanical and p lumbing appeal fees into one Appeal Fee
o Consolidated building, electrical, mechanical and p lumbing investigation fees into one Investigation Fee
o Created a tiered structure for Building Plan Check fees to illustrate the cost recovery performance of fees currently charged at 75% of the Permit Fee. Going forward, the City should charge these fees similar to the method util ized for the Building Permit Fee rather than on a percentage basis.
o Updated the Boiler/Compressor metric of charge from “HP” to “ton” for Mechanical Permits

6.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation
Appendix A.4 presents the results of the detailed c ost recovery analysis for the City’s Building Safet y Division. In the Appendix, the “Cost of Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Name” list. This Cost of Service per Activ ity is reflective of the Building Safety Division’s costs.
Note, the Cost of Service per Activity is reflectiv e of the Building Safety Division’s costs for revie w of each entitlement/permit. To recover costs of other City departments that provide routine review of Building applications such as the Fire, Planning, and Transp ortation departments/divisions, a separate schedule of fees is shown on their corresponding fee schedules.
Using current rates, we estimate that the City will recover approximately 109% of anticipated costs to provide services. As Table 9 shows, the City collec ts approximately $6.1 million per year in revenue a t the current fee amounts. At full cost recovery and the same demand level for these services, the City woul d recover approximately $5.6 million.

ENFORCEMENT SERVICES DIVISION
The Enforcement Services Division is responsible fo r protecting, preserving and improving the quality of life of the citizens of Culver City through effective, a ppropriate and proactive enforcement of the City's codes and ordinances, to be sensitive to the needs of the public and business communities, and to maintain t hese standards with a commitment to integrity and excell ence in customer service.
Enforcement Services provides a number of services for which a fee may be charged, including: late fee s, repayment agreements, re-inspections, and appeals.
7.1 Cost of Service Analysis
NBS developed a composite, fully burdened, hourly r ate for the Enforcement Services Division as shown in Table 10 below:
Table 10. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate
Section 2.1, Methods of Analysis, further describes the types of expenditures and al located costs considered in the development of the rate. The total annual co st of the Enforcement Services Division is approxim ately $1.5 million. However, it should be noted that the majority of these annual costs are associated with non-fee related activities, therefore, only a small percent age of the total annual costs are eligible for reco very from fee for service activities. All subsequent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level as sumes a fully burdened hourly rate of $212 .

PW – ENGINEERING DIVISION
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Depart ment reviews infrastructure improvements for privat e developments, processes encroachment and utility pe rmits, as well as develops and implements the City’ s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
8.1 Cost of Service Analysis
The following table shows the Engineering Division’ s estimated full cost of providing services on an a nnual basis and the fully burdened cost per hour develope d for cost recovery purposes through fees for servi ces.
Table 12. Fully Burdened Hourly Rate
As Table 12 above shows, the total cost of providin g services is approximately $2.8 million per year. $1.2 million in costs are targeted for recovery from the City’s fees for services, with the remaining $1.6 million as best funded via sources other than fees. All subseq uent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assumes a fully burdened hourly rate of $259 .
Based on interviews with Division staff, the analys is separated the Division’s overall services into f our primary cost categories: (1) Public Counter Duty, ( 2) Capital Project Engineering, (3) Sewer Services Enterprise Fund Support, and (4) Direct Plan Check and Permitting Services. To clarify the underlying costs and assumptions used to calculate the fully burdene d hourly rate, here is a summary of the description s for each cost category:
Public Counter Duty – Activities associated with responding to phone call s and in support of active permits and the development review process i n general. Typically, some portion of costs for provision of general public information and ass istance are not linked for recovery from plan check and permit fees. Engineering staff estimates approximately 80% of these costs are supportive to active application submittal activiti es, while the remaining costs should not be considered in the calculation of fees for services.

revenues available or designated to complete each p roject and are not targeted for recovery in the fees for services studied in this report.
Sewer Services Enterprise Fund Support – Several Engineering Division staff actively support the Sewer Enterprise Fund on an ongoing basis. These re curring costs of support would typically be funded through ratepayer charges and are not target ed for recovery in the fees for services studied in this report.
Direct Plan Check and Permitting Services – Work activities associated with active current engineering applications and permits. 100% of these costs are recoverable in Engineering user and regulatory fees for service.
The results of this Cost of Service Analysis conclu de that the Engineering Division is eligible to rec over approximately 43% of the total annual cost of provi ding all services user/regulatory fees for service. The remaining 57% of costs are not associated with fee- related activities and therefore require identifica tion of alternate revenue sources.
The fully burdened hourly rate involves significant analytical and policy-related decisions regarding the inclusion of categorized activity costs. The decisi on to either include or exclude certain costs towar d recovery in fees for service stems from the basic f ee setting parameters set forth by industry standar d fee calculation methods and the California State Consti tution. State statutes require that any new fee tha t is levied or any existing fee that is increased should not exceed the estimated amount required to provid e the service for which the charge is levied.

8.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation
Appendix A.6 presents the results of the detailed c ost recovery analysis for the City’s Engineering Di vision. In the Appendix, the “Cost of Service per Activity” co lumn establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount f or the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Na me” list.
Using current rates, we estimate that the City will recover approximately 41% of anticipated cost to p rovide services. As Table 13 shows, the City collects appr oximately $509,000 per year in revenue at the curre nt fee amounts. At full cost recovery and the same demand level for these services, the City would recover approximately $1.2 million.

POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES
The scope of this user and regulatory fee analysis evaluated fees charged by the Police Department for alarm permits, film permits, report copies, vehicle impou nd releases, and citation sign-off fees, as well as pet licensing activities performed by the Animal Contro l Services.
13.1 Cost of Service Analysis
NBS calculated separate fully burdened hourly rates for Sworn versus Non-Sworn personnel for the Polic e Department, and a separate rate for the Animal Cont rol Services, as shown in Table 22 below.
Table 22. Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total annual cost of the Police Department is a pproximately $52.9 million. However, it should be n oted that the majority of these annual costs are associa ted with non-fee related activities, such as genera l public safety and the day to day preservation of public or der. Therefore, only a small percentage of the tota l annual costs are eligible for recovery from fee for servic e activities. The calculation of these hourly rates for the Police Department and Animal Control Services inclu des all allowable direct and indirect costs associa ted with providing services included in the fee study. All subsequent fee calculations will assume a rate of $269 for Sworn personnel, $119 for Non-Sworn personnel and $138 for Animal Services personnel during normal business hours. After normal business hours, fee ca lculations will assume a rate of $312 for Sworn personnel and $140 for Non-Sworn personnel.

The expenses of administering, operating, and maint aining the City’s parks and recreation programs and facilities are primarily funded by resources from t he General Fund. However, fees collected from vario us Recreation programs, including classes, contracts, and specific uses of public spaces can represent a significant source of funding to help cover costs a nd sustain – if not improve – the level of service provided by the City.
14.1 Unique Parameters for Recreation Program Fees and Facility Rental Fees Article XIIIC of the California Constitution provid es the definition of what types of governmental cha rges constitute a “tax”, and under section 1(e), a “’tax ” means any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind i mposed by local government”, except for seven stated excep tions to this definition.
Recreation programs, camps and classes fees general ly fall under the first three exceptions listed, wh ich are fees and charges for benefits conferred and privile ges granted, services and products provided, or reg ulatory services. Charges qualifying under these exceptions may not “exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product”.
Facility rentals, such as rental of a community cen ters, general pool admission or pool rentals, and f ield usage, fall under exception number 4, “a charge imp osed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental or lease of local government property.” Charges qualifying under thi s exception do not include the “reasonable cost limit ation” found in the first three exceptions.
Recreation programs, camps and classes fees are wit hin NBS’ scope of review in order to ensure fees do not exceed the costs of providing services. As describe d below, analysis of these types of fees was comple ted on an annual basis for each Recreation program, and at the individual fee level for a handful of individu al administrative type fees. Facility rental and use f ees, while not in the scope of review for this stud y, were generally evaluated on an annual basis and surveyed to help inform decision making for the Department regarding any recommended fee adjustments.
14.2 Cost of Service Analysis
NBS calculated the PRCS Department’s total annual c osts for recreation programs and facility uses. The table on the following page summarizes results of that an alysis:
City of Culver City
Citywide User Fee Study 48
Table 24. Total Annual Program Costs
The total estimated cost of all PRCS Department pro grams is approximately $10.5 million per year. Sect ion
2.1, Methods of Analysis , provides further definition and discussion of the elements of the total program cost calculation.
As discussed in further detail in Section 14.4, Fee Establishment , some individual fees charged by the Department were calculated using the following full y burdened labor rates derived for full-time versus part- time classifications for personnel. This was perfor med uniquely for this Department, to conform to the way it provides various services and activities. Table 25 provides a summary of the cost of service outcom es:
Table 25. Annual and Hourly Cost of Service Calculation
All subsequent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assumes a fully burdened hourl y rate of $152 for full-time employees and $74 for part-time employees, or a blended rate of $92 on average during normal business hours. After normal business hours, an hourly rate of $180 for full-time employees, $88 for part-time employees, or a blended rate of $109 can be used.
14.3 Cost Recovery Evaluation

programs recover approximately 30% of the citywide costs of providing services. The table on the follo wing page summarizes results of that analysis:
Table 26. Program Cost Recovery Evaluation
In the table above, existing revenue for each progr am is shown next to the “Annual Estimated Revenues at Current Fee”. The results of this analysis show tha t current revenue amounts for all recreation progra ms and facility uses recover less than the “Total Program Costs” of each program calculated by NBS.
14.4 Fee Establishment
The Study performed by NBS primarily provides an an nual cost and revenue analysis at the program level .
This provides City staff and City Council with curr ent cost recovery data and allows the City to estab lish, if desired, a cost recovery policy applicable to each program or grouping of programs. In considering cos t recovery targets and recommended fees, the Departme nt may consider the current cost recovery evaluatio n outcomes established by this Study and recommend re vised fees and/or program level cost recovery targe ts for the Council’s review. The City Council may wish to use general fund revenue to subsidize recreatio nal programs as a matter of policy and to ensure access to these programs for a larger portion of the community.
Fees for Individual Recreational Programs and Class es
For existing and ongoing fees charged for recreatio nal programs and class offerings, the City may wish to use the results of this analysis and general cost recov ery policy direction to apply an across the board i ncrease to incrementally improve program cost recovery. This a pproach is commonly used where the policy directive is to continue to subsidize recreation programs to opt imize community access to their benefits, while sti ll seeking to improve funding for these essential prog rams.

City of Culver City
Citywide User Fee Study 50
Because of the seasonal and changing nature of recr eational services and classes offered by the Depart ment, NBS recommends any new class fees, program fees, an d special event fees to be calculated by the Department Director using the analytical methods de scribed below:
Program Cost of Service = [ (A x B) + C + D + E + F ]
A = Estimated time for City staff to implement and operate the individual program. B = Applicable hourly rates for the staff functions involved in the implementation of the individual program.
C = Actual cost incurred by the City for any outsid e service provider involved in the individual program.
D = Actual cost incurred by the City for any specif ic materials acquired for use during the individual program.
E = Prevailing facility rental and/or field use fee s imposed by the City and reflected in its master fee schedule.
F = Actual costs incurred by the City to rent and/o r use facilities/fields from other entities.
Using the formula provided above, the calculated co st of service represents the maximum fee that could be imposed by the City for an individual recreation pr ogram or service. The City may recover between 0% a nd 100% of the cost of service. Cost recovery targets may vary by individual program, as pertains to the City Council’s adopted cost recovery policy for each pro gram. The City may also set a differential fee for resident and non-resident participants, as long as the fee a mount in any case does not exceed 100% of the cost of service.
It should be noted that more than any other fee pro gram studied in this report, the “market price” of both other public and private options for program option s will drive what the City can ultimately charge fo r services. Appendices B.13-A and B.13-B include a hi gh-level comparison for facility rentals and recrea tion programs completed for this Study, and it is recomm ended that City staff continue to survey market rat es for their services on a periodic basis.
Fees for Administrative Tasks or Service Requests
For fees associated with the individual administrat ive tasks or service requests, an evaluation of the cost of service for individual fees was performed. The Depa rtment charges only a few miscellaneous administrat ive fees, discussed as follows:
Non-Resident Fee for Recreation Program Participation , $11 per participant. This fee is established by City policy and was not evaluated by NBS. In NBS’s opinion, the approach to non-resident fees for services should be formulated as a discount for residents that is subsidized by the general fund, rather than an additional charge added to the non-resident fee amount. There is typically no difference in the cost required to serve residents and/or non-residents; therefore, a more acceptable approach would be a policy whereby non-residents pay full cost recovery (or closer to) for services, and residents receive a discount as compared to non-residents.
City of Culver City
Citywide User Fee Study 51
Refund Processing Fee , 15% of payment amount. According to the Department, this service requires, on average, approximately 15 minutes of a part-time staff member’s effort. At the fully burdened rate for a part-time staff member of the Department of $74 (established in the Cost of Service Analysis section, above), the maximum fee amount for this service is approximately $18.50. The City can elect to update this fee to 15% of the payment amount or $18.50, whichever is less. The refund processing fee cannot exceed the cost of providing the service.
Film Permit Processing Fee , $104 per filming event approval request. According to the Department, this service requires, on average, approximately 1 hour of a full-time staff member’s effort. At the fully burdened rate for a full-time staff member of the Department of $152 (established in the Cost of Service Analysis section, above), the maximum fee amount for this service is approximately $152. The City can increase this processing fee to an amount that does not exceed the cost of providing the service.
Staffing, per hour. There are a number of instances where City staff charge hourly for support to facility uses, events, etc. In these cases, the fully burdened rate table established through this study may be used to update rates accordingly.
Fees for Facility Use or Rental
Fees imposed for the use (entrance or rental) of pa rks and recreation facilities ensure that some reve nues are made available to offset the operation, mainten ance, and restoration costs of those facilities, so they may continue to be open to all. However, as noted i n the discussion of Unique Parameters, above, these fee amounts are not strictly limited to the costs of pr oviding service, and generally seek to conform to t he “market” price for similarly sized facilities avail able in the community and/or similar comparative pu blic agencies. The documentation presented herein provi des a high-level annual cost recovery analysis, and the appendix to this report provides a survey of other agencies for the City’s consideration in setting fe es going forward. In general, NBS recommends that a survey b e conducted by City staff every three to five years to demonstrate consideration of comparable public and private facility rental options.
14.5 Comparative Fee Survey
Appendix B.13-A presents the results of the Compara tive Fee Survey for the PRCS Department. This comparison was unique to this Department in order t o compare facility rentals, such as the City’s pool , indoor park buildings, outdoor fields, park picnic shelters and community center with surrounding communities. Appendix B.13-B presents the results o f the Comparative Fee Survey of the recreation program, in order to compare programs such as swim classes and day camps with surrounding areas. Secti on

GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE
It is common for jurisdictions in California to emp loy “surcharges” on top of their fees for service t o fund certain types of operational support costs. Common surcharges charged by California public agencies on top of development permits include those for update and maintenance of the general plan document, as well as update and maintenance of permitting technology nee ds. Surcharges are generally assessed as a percenta ge of fees or some other metric such as project constr uction value. Surcharge revenues are tracked to a separate fund and are designated solely for the pur pose of updating and implementing the General Plan document.
The City of Culver City updates its General Plan on a routine basis. This Plan helps to guide the grow th of the community in a consistent manner. Government Code 6 6014 (b) allows local agencies to, “…include the costs reasonably necessary to prepare and revise th e plans and policies that a local agency is require d to adopt before it can make any necessary findings and determinations”. This section of the Government Co de supports the development of a fee to recover a reas onable share of costs associated with the update an d maintenance of the General Plan.
2 15.1 Cost of Service Analysis
Most cities perform a comprehensive update of their General Plan on a ten to twenty year cycle, with t he exception of the Housing Element of the General Pla n, which is required to be updated every eight year s. In order to ensure funding is available for the signif icant costs associated with comprehensive updates, the City estimated a need for approximately $3 million in co nsulting costs. Additionally, Advance Planning staf f supports the implementation and ongoing maintenance of the General Plan and associated Zoning Ordinance updates. As shown in the table below, the estimated annual costs of a comprehensive general plan update and its associated implementation is $1 .2 million.

City of Culver City
Citywide User Fee Study 53
The City’s General Plan provides the key plans, pol icies, and legal parameters required for developmen t project approval. However, it is recognized that th e General Plan has other applications for the City’ s use in continuing to serve its existing residents and busi nesses. For purposes of a reasonable fee calculatio n, each jurisdiction’s policy makers must decide to what de gree new development impacts the revision and maintenance efforts for their General Plan. For jur isdictions with large amounts of undeveloped land available, the impact is typically higher than for jurisdictions that are closer to “build-out” of ava ilable land resources. As such, Community Development staff est imated approximately $271,000 of those costs are attributable to development review approvals.
15.2 Fee Establishment
To implement a fee for recovery of general plan mai ntenance and update costs, the Department and Counc il should agree upon a desired cost recovery target fo r this program, to be captured on top of Building a nd Planning fees related to new construction and addit ions projects only.
To establish the cost recovery target, the degree t o which development impacts the revision and maintenance efforts to the General Plan must be est imated. For jurisdictions with large amounts of undeveloped land available or considerable amounts of intensification of development occurring, the im pact is typically considered higher than for jurisdictio ns that are closer to “build-out” of available land resources or development capacity. This fee should apply to p rojects with the largest relative impact on the maintenance, update, and use of the City’s General Plan, and the remaining unfunded amount would be subsidized by other City revenue sources such as th e general fund for the general community benefit received from the plan, as well as for the use of t he Plan by other departments such as public safety and utilities.

NBS provided a full cost of service evaluation and the framework for considering fees, while the City determined the appropriate cost recovery levels at or below full cost amounts. City staff’s initial recommendation is to recover 75% of the total costs . At 75% cost recovery, the fee would recover approximately $203,000 annually.

TECHNOLOGY FEE
Council Resolution 2005-R040 established a permit f ee surcharge to fund the costs of digital imaging, storage of plans and documents, and technology improvements related to development permit issuance and records management. The current rate in effect is equal to 4% of fee revenues collected for any building, plum bing, mechanical, electrical permit and plan check fee, P lanning discretionary review fee, Planning permit a nd plan check fee, Fire prevention permit fee, and Engineer ing permit and plan check fee. Technology fee reven ues are tracked to a separate fund and are designated s olely for the purpose of digital imaging, storage o f plans and documents, and technology maintenance, update a nd replacements to enhance customer service.

Currently, the City is recovering approximately 37% of the total cost of providing services from fees. As the table below shows, the City collects approximately $208,000 per year in revenue at the current fee amo unts.
At full cost recovery and the same demand level for these services, the City would recover approximate ly $562,000.
Table 33. Cost Recovery Outcome
NBS provided a full cost of service evaluation and the framework for considering fees, while the City determined the appropriate cost recovery levels at or below full cost amounts. Staff’s initial recommendation is to recover 100% of the total cost s.

Citywide User Fee Study 59
CONCLUSION
Based on the outcomes of the Cost of Service Analys is, Fee Establishment, and Cost Recovery Evaluation presented in this Study, the proposed Master Fee Sc hedule has been prepared by the City for implementation and included in the accompanying Sta ff Report.
As discussed throughout this report, the intent of the proposed fee schedule is to improve the City’s recovery of costs incurred to provide individual se rvices, as well as adjust fees to align with the av erage costs of service calculated in this Study. where the fees charged exceed the average costs incurred. Predict ing the amount to which any adopted fee increases will affe ct City revenues is difficult to quantify. For the near- term, the City should not count on increased revenu es to meet any specific expenditure plan. Experienc e with the revised fee amounts should be gained first before revenue projections are revised. However, u nless there is some significant, long-term change in acti vity levels at the City, proposed fee amendments sh ould enhance the City’s cost recovery performance over t ime, providing it the ability to stretch other reso urces further for the benefit of the public at-large.
The City’s Master Fee Schedule should become a livi ng document, but handled with care:
A fundamental purpose of the fee schedule is to pro vide clarity and transparency to the public and to staff regarding fees imposed by the City. On ce adopted by the City Council, the fee schedule is the final word on the amount and method in which fees should be charged and supersedes all previous fee schedules. If it is dis covered that the master document is missing certain fees, those fees will eventually need to be added to the master fee schedule and should not exist outside the consolidated, master framewor k.
The City should consider adjusting these user fees and regulatory fees on an annual basis to keep pace with cost inflation. For all fees and charges, for example, the City could use a Consumer Price Index adjustment that is applied to the new f ee schedule. Conducting a comprehensive user fee Study is not an annual requirement, and on ly becomes worthwhile over time as shifts in organization, local practices, legislative values, or legal requirements result in significant change.
As a final note, it is worth mentioning the path th at fees, in general, have taken in the State of Cal ifornia. In recent years, there is more public demand for the p recise and equitable accounting of the basis for governmental fees and a greater say in when and how they are charged. It is likely that into the futur e, user and regulatory fees will require an even greater le vel of analysis and supporting data to meet the pub lic’s growing expectations. An agency’s ability to meet t hese new pressures will depend on the level of tech nology they invest in their current systems. Continuous im provement and refinement of time tracking abilities will greatly enhance the City’s ability to set fees for service and identify unfunded activities in years t o come.
Disclaimer: In preparing this report and the opinio ns and recommendations included herein, NBS has rel ied on a number of principal assumptions and consid erations with regard to financial matters, conditions and events that may occur in the future. This information and assumptions, including the City’s budgets, time es timate data, and workload information from City staff, were provided by sources we believe to be reliable; however, NBS has not independently verified such information an d assumptions.
While we believe NBS’ use of such information and a ssumptions is reasonable for the purpose of this re port, some assumptions will invariably not material ize as stated herein and may vary significantly due to unanticipated eve nts and circumstances. Therefore, the actual resul ts can be expected to vary from those projected to the extent that actual future conditions differ from those assumed by us o r provided to us by others.
