1 CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Date: June 26, 2025
To: Cupertino City Council
From: Jonathan Orozco, Finance Manager
Re: Fiscal Year (FY) 2025‐26 Fee Schedule Update
Background:
Staff’s responses to questions received from councilmembers are shown in italics.
Q1: The staff report states that "Engineering fees are typically adjusted annually by CCI and Budgeted Labor Costs." But in the redlined version of Engineering fees, it seems for some items the Labor Costs increased by 9.7%, but some are 0%. What are the reasons? Staff Response: Some Engineering fees remain at 0% because they are governed by specific update processes, such as separate Municipal Code requirements. Further explanation is provided in the response to Question 2.
Q2.1: I see that the Transportation Impact Fee and the Parkland Impact Fee have 0% increase. No increase due to CPI, CCPI or Labor Costs? Is that due to the condition when the fees are adopted? What's the process to make adjustments to CPI, CCI or Labor Costs? Staff Response: Per Cupertino Municipal Code Section 13.08.060, Parkland Dedication fees are based on the fair market value of land as determined by an annual appraisal. The April 2025 evaluation showed that land values remained relatively unchanged since the prior year; therefore, no adjustment was recommended. For the Transportation Impact Fee, staff determined that a further review is needed to assess appropriate adjustments. Until that review is complete, the fee will remain unchanged for FY 2025–26.
Q2.2: (additional): I found a footnote for the Park Land Dedication Fee: "* Park Land Dedication Fees are calculated per Municipal Code section 13.08. On an annual basis, Public Works Department updates the fair market value of land based on appraised values of land sales." So, the market land value has not changed for land in the past year? Staff Response: The change in approximate market value of land in Cupertino over the past year
2 was negligible.
Q2.3: Can Park Land Dedication Fee be used only to purchase parkland or can it be used for improvement on parkland?
Staff Response: Park Land Dedication Fees must be used for acquisition of new park land , and/or the rehabilitation or development of park land in a manner that will accommodate more users.
Maintenance and operation of the parks is not a permitted use of these funds.
Q3: Some items have negative adjustments, such as Storm Drain Fees. What are the reasons?
Staff Response: Storm Drain Fees are adjusted by Construction Cost Index (CCI), which decreased by .79% during the last year.
Q4: The staff report states "The net 9.7% increase in estimated Budget Labor Costs is primarily comprised of the inclusion of total pension costs, including mandatory annual payments towards the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL), as well as increases for employees progressing to higher salary steps and negotiated benefits." So, the pension costs were not included in the past or has the pension cost increased? If the pension cost hasn't been included in the past, why include it now? Any change in city policy or state law? Staff Response: In prior years, the City’s proposed fee schedules did not always fully capture pension-related costs, especially the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL )because the schedules were finalized before the UAL figures were allocated in the following year’s budget process. This timing mismatch likely led to the low 1% fee increases in FY 2023 and FY 2025.
As highlighted in the chart below, labor cost adjustments have fluctuated: from FY 2018–2022, the average increase was around 8.5%, while the most recent four-year average (FY 2023–2026) is closer to 5.2%. These shifts reflect both changing economic conditions and city-initiated cost control measures.
This year, consistent with the Council-adopted User Fee Cost Recovery Policy (Resolution 24-041), we’ve included UAL costs in full. The resulting 9.7% increase aligns with historical averages and ensures our fees responsibly reflect the true cost of service delivery.

S&B 11.20% 4.10% 4.00% 17.30% 5.70% 1.00% 9.00% 1.00% 9.70%
Q5: Could you please include a table for comparison with FY 2023 ‐24 Fee, before the 2023 policy change? If it is not too much trouble, please include a table from FY 2019‐2020 to see historic trends.
Staff Response: The FY 2024-25 Fee Schedules, attached to this report, include the amount and percentage changes compared to FY 2023 -24. The comprehensive fee study conducted in 2023 significantly restructured the fee schedules, making it challenging and resource intensive to develop a direct comparison table from FY 2019-20 to the proposed FY 2025-26. The substantial changes in fee structures and classifications over this period make a straightforward year-over-year comparison complex.
Q6: How does the City compared to other cities in terms of the cost recovery and annual inflationary factors?
Staff Response: The City’s approach aligns closely with best practices observed by other local agencies. Municipalities typically commission periodic user fee studies, both to determine the maximum legally permissible charge (in compliance with Propositions 218 and 26) and to ensure services are not inadvertently subsidizing general operations. These studies often evaluate full cost recovery, factoring in both direct and indirect expenses while recognizing that some services may remain partially subsidized based on policy goals
Fees are typically adjusted annually using one or more of the following indices:
- Consumer Price Index (CPI)
- Construction Cost Index (CCI)
- Labor and overhead cost growth
This indexing methodology is comparable to many local agencies and helps maintain fair and transparent fee structures that accurately reflect service delivery costs over time.
Additional Context:
While not all cities have a formal “Cost Recovery Policy” codified, many include descriptions of their cost recovery methodologies within fee schedules or related documents. Below are examples of fee schedules with embedded notes on their calculation methods:
Mountain View – Adopted a Citywide Master Fee Study on June 10, 2025; a large number of fees are doubling (see by clicking on Building Fees, Planning Fees, or Public Works Fees tabs).
Sunnyvale – “The City’s current fees and charges have been reviewed in accordance with Council Policy 7.1.1 (Fiscal-Long Range Goals and Financial Policies). Staff made the necessary adjustments to the proposed Fee Schedule to ensure that fees and charges are aligned 4 with the actual cost of providing each service. The only exceptions are those that are legally limited, market-based, or subsidized for public purposes, such as the Park Dedication In-Lieu Fee - Average Fair Market fee that was reduced due to a recent land sale survey”- Fee Schedule Update Staff Report
Santa Clara – “During an annual review, each department recommends appropriate adjustments after considering the total costs to the City for each service provided. Costs include (1) personnel time (providing the service and collecting data), (2) equipment used, (3) material, service and supply costs, (4) department and City-wide overhead, and (5) any other costs that may be incurred that are directly related to the specific fees, rates or charges.” – Fee Schedule
Palo Alto – “As part of the annual budget process, the City’s Municipal Fees are reviewed to ensure that fees are set in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, in addition to the City of Palo Alto User Fee Cost Recovery Level Policy” – Fee Schedule Morgan Hill – “Morgan Hill uses CPI for user fees (development services) and CCI for impact fees. Actual costs for certain fees.” -Dat Nguyen, Director of Finance Los Gatos – “Fee Schedule will be adjusted annually by the average Consumer Price Index (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose Metropolitan Statistical Area) for the calendar year and/or by the percentage increase in actual operating costs for the current year – whichever is greater” – Fee Schedule
These references demonstrate that the City is neither alone nor out of step in its commitment to responsible, data-driven fee setting, and annual adjustment mechanisms.
