CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 4.
FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 09/22/2026
SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Reports for the Months Ended August 31, 2026.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the attached investment reports.
DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 53607 and Cypress Municipal Code Section 2-18(f) requires the submission of a monthly investment report to the City Council.
August 31, 2026
Total Cash and Investments $188.3 million
Yield on Investments 3.98%
As required by the Government Code, all investments are in conformity with the City's investment policy and sufficient cash flows are available to meet the next six months of estimated expenditures.
The attached Summary of Cash and Investments presents the investments held by the City of Cypress as of August 31, 2026. The Investment Report consists of the following five summaries:
1. Summary of Cash and Investments - Provides the total portfolio of the City.
Changes in Cash and Investments - Provides a two-month cash flow analysis by fund type. These separate fund types allow for restricted monies to be segregated and tracked separately. The total ending amount agrees to the current market value shown in the Summary of Cash and Investments.
2. Investments at Market Value by Maturity Date - Provides a list of investments by maturity date, and an indication of the liquidity (ability to turn into cash) of the investments. The California Government Code restricts the type of investments eligible for public funds. The City’s Investment Policy further defines permitted
3. eligible for public funds. The City’s Investment Policy further defines permitted investments. These restrictions on investment types and the terms of allowable investments tend to result in limited yields on City investments.
Interfund Investments - Shows all authorized and outstanding loans between City funds. The loans from the Infrastructure Reserve Fund to the Cypress Recreation and Park District General Fund relate to the construction of Lexington Park and the rehabilitation of Arnold Cypress Park.
4. Summary of Cash and Investments Held In Trust - Shows the investments held in trust by the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) for offsetting unfunded pension liabilities. The pension trust amounts can only be used for future pension obligations. The legal restrictions on the allowable investment types are less restrictive than those in the City's portfolio, which provides the ability for the trust to invest in more diverse assets which have the potential to yield a higher long-term rate of return.
5. The City's portfolio consisted of the following:
August 31, 2026
Federal Agency Securities $89.5 million
Investment Pools $96.7 million
Bank Accounts $2.1 million
Total $188.3 million
A portion of the investment portfolio is with the State Investment Pool (Local Agency Investment Fund or LAIF) in which the State's investment experts provide a diversified investment pool for local agencies to invest. By using the combined size of the participating cities and agencies, the State Pool provides a competitive yield, liquidity and investment diversification and management that would otherwise be unavailable to a single entity.
The amount of cash in the City’s checking accounts fluctuates based on the maturity of investments, daily cash receipts, and when vendors and employees are paid. The daily balances maintained in the checking accounts provide credits which offset monthly bank charges. In addition to the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which insures the first $250,000, excess checking deposits are secured by banks, government, or mortgage securities valued between 110% and 150% of the deposits.
BUDGET IMPACT
This agenda item is presented for receive-and-file purposes only; therefore, there is no budgetary impact associated with this action.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 5.
FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 09/22/2026
SUBJECT: Award RFP for Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan
RECOMMENDATION
1. Award Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for a Comprehensive User Fee Study and Full Cost Allocation Plan to Willdan Financial Services;
2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with Willdan Financial Services, in such final form as approved by the City Attorney; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to approve change orders and amendments to the agreement, provided that Willdan Financial Services' total compensation does not exceed $65,000.
DISCUSSION
A fee study is designed to determine the true cost of providing services and provide well-documented, defensible support for any revisions to the Master Fee Schedule. A Cost Allocation Plan distributes the general governmental and support services costs to the direct services and activities provided to the public. The last Comprehensive User Fee Study and Full Cost Allocation Plan was done in FY2017-18. Best practice is to update these plans every three to five years.
Due to the complexity and the breadth of performing a comprehensive review and plan, an outside consultant was recommended, and funding was set aside in the FY2026-27 Budget. Thus, on July 14, 2026, the City released and advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) on Planet Bids for a Comprehensive User Fee Study and Full Cost Allocation Plan.
The City received six (6) proposals by the submission deadline of August 11, 2026.
Staff reviewed all proposals to determine that submissions conformed to all the requirements in the RFP. Through a vigorous evaluation, all six (6) vendor proposals were ranked according to the following criteria:
Criteria Weight
Experience of Firm and Personnel 25%
Understanding of the Project Requirements 25%
Proposed Scope of Work 25%
Costs 25%
Based on the evaluations, the review committee determined that the proposal from Willdan Financial Services was ranked the highest.

Established in 1988, Willdan is a team of over 90 professionals who provide essential financial consulting services throughout California, and the United States. Willdan has provided the requested services to municipal clients for over two decades; and is the only firm providing these types of consulting services that also has a long history of providing contract staff support to public agencies for the delivery of municipal services. Additionally, Willdan most recently assisted the City with its Parks Nexus Study.
The project timeline is approximately 7 months, beginning in September 2026 and ending March 2027.
BUDGET IMPACT
Willdan's proposal includes a fixed fee of $11,475 to conduct the Cost Allocation Plan and a fixed fee of $32,830 to conduct the User Fee Study. Additionally, an OMB/Part 200/Tribe Compliant Cost Allocation Plan was proposed to be included for $1,925 and separate supplemental services to review programs/activities with General Fund overhead are proposed as optional costs based on hourly rates. The total budget for this project is $65,000, leaving sufficient funding for both the base and supplemental costs.

professional standards” shall mean those standards of practice recognized by one or more firstclass firms performing similar work under similar circumstances.
1.2 Contractor’s Proposal.
The Scope of Service shall include the Contractor’s scope of work which shall be incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of such proposal and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
1.3 Compliance with Law.
Contractor shall keep itself informed concerning, and shall render all services hereunder in accordance with, all ordinances, resolutions, statutes, rules, and regulations of the City and any Federal, State or local governmental entity having jurisdiction in effect at the time service is rendered.
1.4 Licenses, Permits, Fees and Assessments.
Contractor shall obtain at its sole cost and expense such licenses, permits and approvals as may be required by law for the performance of the services required by this Agreement. Contractor shall have the sole obligation to pay for any fees, assessments and taxes, plus applicable penalties and interest, which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for the Contractor’s performance of the services required by this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its officers, employees or agents of City, against any such fees, assessments, taxes, penalties or interest levied, assessed or imposed against City hereunder.

1.8 Additional Services.
City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Services or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written order is first given by the Contract Officer to the Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum for the actual costs of the extra work, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Contractor. Any increase in compensation of up to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Sum or $25,000, whichever is less; or, in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days, may be approved by the Contract Officer. Any greater increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council. It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Services. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Services may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have similar work done by other contractors. No claims for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.

2.3 Reimbursable Expenses.
Compensation may include reimbursement for actual and necessary expenditures for reproduction costs, telephone expenses, and travel expenses approved by the Contract Officer in advance, or actual subcontractor expenses of an approved subcontractor pursuant to Section 4.5, and only if specified in the Schedule of Compensation. The Contract Sum shall include the attendance of Contractor at all project meetings reasonably deemed necessary by the City.
Coordination of the performance of the work with City is a critical component of the services. If Contractor is required to attend additional meetings to facilitate such coordination, Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for attending said meetings.
2.4 Invoices.
Each month Contractor shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed and expenses incurred during the preceding month in a form approved by City’s Director of Finance.
By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Contractor is certifying compliance with all provisions of the Agreement. The invoice shall detail charges for all necessary and actual expenses by the following categories: labor (by sub-category), travel, materials, equipment, supplies, and sub-contractor contracts. Sub-contractor charges shall also be detailed by such categories. Contractor shall not invoice City for any duplicate services performed by more than one person.
City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Contractor which are disputed by City, or as provided in Section 7.3, City will use its best efforts to cause Contractor to be paid within forty-five (45) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed invoice; however, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures, the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor for correction and resubmission. Review and payment by City for any invoice provided by the Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.
2.5 Waiver.
Payment to Contractor for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Contractor.

4.2 Status of Contractor.

The insurer is deemed hereof to waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against the City, its officers, employees and agents and their respective insurers. Moreover, the insurance policy must specify that where the primary insured does not satisfy the self-insured retention, any additional insured may satisfy the self-insured retention.
All of said policies of insurance shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or cancelled by the insurer or any party hereto without providing thirty (30) days prior written notice by certified mail return receipt requested to the City. In the event any of said policies of insurance are cancelled, the Contractor shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance in conformance with Section 5.1 to the Contract Officer.
No work or services under this Agreement shall commence until the Contractor has provided the City with Certificates of Insurance, additional insured endorsement forms or appropriate insurance binders evidencing the above insurance coverages and said Certificates of Insurance or binders are approved by the City. City reserves the right to inspect complete, certified copies of and endorsements to all required insurance policies at any time. Any failure to comply with the reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches or warranties shall not affect coverage provided to City.

City, its respective elected and appointed officers, directors, officials, employees, agents and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities Contractor performs; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned, occupied or used by Contractor; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, and their respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees or volunteers. Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers or the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Contractor agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Contractor’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the Contractor is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Contractor’s indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Contractor subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section
4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Contractor and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Contractor is required to maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to City.
5.3 Indemnification.
To the full extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein “claims or liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Contractor is legally liable (“indemnitors”), or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith:
(a) Contractor will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith;
(b) Contractor will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of Contractor 01004.0001 301445.13 3/27/2026
-11-
hereunder; and Contractor agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom;
(c) In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Contractor for such damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Contractor hereunder, Contractor agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorney’s fees.
Contractor shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Contractor shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Contractor in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole or active negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Contractor and shall survive termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer.
Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City (“Risk Manager”) due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.

6.2 Reports.
Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Contractor hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Contractor is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Contractor shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Contractor is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.
6.3 Ownership of Documents.
All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”), including any electronic documents and materials, prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City in a format of the City’s choice upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Contractor shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Contractor with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.
6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) All information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the 01004.0001 301445.13 3/27/2026

public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer.
(b) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement.

(c) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct. (d) Contractor shall promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.
ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Orange, State of California.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default.
This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the 01004.0001 301445.13 3/27/2026
-14-
alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. 01004.0001 301445.13 3/27/2026

In addition, the Contractor may terminate this Contract for cause, upon sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to City. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Termination for Default of Contractor.
If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.9 Attorney’s Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees.

Furthermore, a sound cost allocation plan is a foundational element of a user fee study, ensuring that the full cost of providing services that is calculated for setting fees includes provision for internal overhead support.
The Cost Allocation Plan is also integral in the development of internal hourly rates, including CIP billing rates.
We will work closely with staff in identifying the proper balance of allocation factors appropriate for the City.
To achieve the maximum cost recovery objective, the City must have a method of identifying and distributing administrative costs that is fair, comprehensive, well documented, and fully defensible. A cost allocation plan coupled with comprehensive overhead rates will enable the City to achieve this goal.
The allocation models utilize an iterative method which is the most accurate allocation methodology. Unlike a direct or “step-down” methodology, an iterative method uses the chosen distribution bases and allocates central service costs iteratively until all allocable costs have been distributed. Using this method, the model can detail the allocation for each central function individually for complete transparency and accountability, while removing bias that might result from the order in which allocations occur in a step-down approach.
A direct methodology is essentially a one-iteration methodology, while a step-down method is typically only two iterations and is less precise and unable to accurately track the allocations from start to finish.
Approach for Managing the Project
Willdan’s “hands-on” supervision of Cost Allocation Plan studies, include the following methods:
▪ Effective Project Management — Principal-in-Charge Chris Fisher will manage the entire project with an eye toward high responsiveness, while ensuring that all stakeholders are “on board” with the direction of the project, as well as with the final results. Mr. Fisher will ensure that regular status updates are provided to City staff, conference calls are scheduled, and that in-person meetings are conducted (as necessary). ▪ Adherence to Time Schedule — Willdan recognizes that the use of “timelines” is highly effective in meeting all required deadlines. To keep the project on schedule, there are several tasks that must be completed in a timely manner.
Therefore, we will present a project timeline at the kick-off meeting that should be closely followed.
Although the establishment of an experienced project team and a detailed project timeline work extremely well in general, Willdan understands that outside influences can create uncontainable situations for everyone involved in the project. In rare circumstances like these, our team quickly adapts to changes and communicates our recommended schedule adjustments to the City.
Approach in Communicating with the City
Willdan staff is accustomed to interfacing with local government councils, boards, staff, community organizations, and the public in general in a friendly and helpful manner; we are always mindful that we represent the public agency. We are sensitive to the need of delivering a quality product, with the highest level of service and professionalism.
Therefore, as the work on the project progresses, we understand that it will be necessary for our staff to work closely with you and City personnel. To accomplish this, we employ a variety of tools, including monitoring project status and budget costs; and ensuring effective communication through several options that are based on the City’s preferences.
Experience with Development Service Processes
A unique aspect of our firm is our relationship with our Engineering Division. For many agencies throughout California and other Western states, this division provides contracted services in planning, engineering, and building and safety. When conducting cost recovery studies, we regularly consult with our engineering and land-development staff of experts on development-related issues. By working with our planners, engineers, and building officials, we understand developmentrelated agency service procedures and workflow functions, which often make the entire user fee study process smoother for your staff.
EXHIBIT A
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 5 City of Cypress, CA
Comprehensive User Fee Study Methodology
To comprehensively update fees, the City should develop a comprehensive user fee schedule that accurately accounts for the true cost of providing services. Once the study is complete, the fee study model must be flexible so that the City can add, delete, and revise fees in the future. To meet this goal, we will bring our expertise and unique perspectives to your fee study by approaching the project with these three principles:
1) Defensibility
Our user fee projects have not been legally challenged since the inception of this practice area in our firm. We have accomplished this by closely working with legal counsel familiar with user fee studies, our engineering division and with agency staff. In this way, we can tailor the correct approach to ensure full cost recovery combined with a sound and reasonable basis for each user fee you implement.
While Proposition 218 does not directly apply to non-property-related fees, we employ principles from this important constitutional article to make certain that your user fee schedule is developed with fairness, equity, and proportionate cost recovery principles in mind. With the addition of Proposition 26, Willdan will review each analyzed user fee for compliance and appropriateness to ensure continued defensibility.
2) Project and Staff Time
The City must have a sound and technically defensible fee schedule to ensure costs are appropriately recovered, as applicants approach the City for its services. Our standards and approaches serve to get to the issues of your fee study quickly.
Starting with the project kick-off, we will make certain that your staff understands the purpose and scope of the study and its corresponding on-site departmental interview. As Willdan is able to communicate directly with the service providers, this face-to-face interaction provides valuable time estimates. 3) Responsiveness
We take great pride in providing responsive service to our client agencies. Frequent communication is critical to a successful user fee study experience. We will provide a list of data requirements in advance of the project kick-off. Due to this simple step, the introductory meeting can focus on the survey input process, answering questions, determining policy goals, and defining next steps in the project. We will follow up weekly with you at each step in the fee study process to make sure that staff “buys in” to the fee study approach and results.
Comprehensive User Fee Study Approach
Our approach to preparing the user fee study and documentation for Cypress includes:
▪ Close coordination with your staff to devise a consensus approach. Different programs and/or different service delivery methods will necessitate different approaches.
We will discuss specific pros and cons with City staff as we determine which methods work best for each fee category; ▪ Strict adherence to key legal and policy issues with regard to user fees, including the percent of cost recovery that the City seeks to achieve. A user fee shall not be set higher than the reasonable cost of providing a fee-generating service.
Our approach provides you with a fee schedule that achieves maximum legal cost recovery while ensuring that each fee is supported by technically defensible documentation; and ▪ Technical analysis necessary to ensure State compliance, and to anticipate and resolve potential policy issues using a combination of industry standards as well as City specific methods.
As described below, there are two basic approaches to calculating user fees:
Approach 1: Case Study Method
This is also sometimes referred to as a cost build-up approach. Using a time and materials approach, the “Case Study Method” examines the tasks, steps and City staff involved in providing a particular ‘unit’ of service, such as a permit review, and then uses that information to develop estimates of the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. It is often used when a service is provided on a regular basis, and staff and other costs associated with the service can be segregated from available budget data.
A typical case study fee model should comprise the following three general cost layers:
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 6 City of Cypress, CA
1) Central Services Overhead: This category may involve such costs as labor, services, and supplies that benefit more than one department, division, or project. The exact benefits to specific areas are impossible to ascribe to a single activity. Examples are purchasing, human resources, and liability insurance. As part of the user fee study, these costs are calculated in the overhead cost review.
2) Department Overhead: This category may include
expenses related to such items as office supplies, outside consultants, and membership dues. It may include
management, supervision, and administrative support that are not provided to a direct fee-generating service.
Typically, these items are charged, on an item-by-item
basis, directly to the department, division, or project. 3) Personnel Costs: This category refers to direct salary and benefit costs of staff hours spent on providing a feegenerating service (e.g., on-site building inspector).
Approach 2: Average Cost Method
This is also sometimes referred to as a programmatic
approach, because it looks at costs at a program level, and then allocates them to participants on an occurrence basis.
By taking total service costs across a substantial sample period (a year) and dividing by the total number of service units delivered over that same period, costs per unit of service is estimated. This approach is useful when services or programs are provided in a more aggregate manner,
where it might be difficult to identify a specific sequence of steps associated with one user or participant; or where it is not feasible to cost-effectively segregate costs associated with specific activities.
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 7 City of Cypress, CA
Work Plan
Our proposed work plans, described in detail by task, are provided below. We will maximize efficiency and costeffectiveness by combining meetings and data gathering efforts between the user fee study and cost allocation plan wherever possible. We explain how each task will be accomplished and identify associated meetings and deliverables. We will work in concert with the City to adjust scopes as needed during the course of the studies.
Cost Allocation Plan
Task 1: Initial Document Request
Objective: Initial due diligence.
Description: Prior to the kick-off call, relevant documentation will be obtained and reviewed in order to enhance our understanding of the City’s current cost allocation plan and internal structure of the agency. A written request for specific data will be sent to the City. The data provided in this task will provide the building blocks for later model development.
Our request may include (but is not limited to):
▪ Detailed budget and accounting data;
▪ Prior year’s financial data, salary, position, and staffing data; ▪ Organizational structure;
▪ Existing Cost Allocation Plan or methodologies, fee schedules, and other related data; ▪ Datasets related to work/activity levels and volume;
▪ Any adjustments or changes in the existing cost allocation plan and/or user fee documentation and models; and
▪ Data related to various allocation bases that may be incorporated as part of the methodology, i.e., City Council agenda frequencies by department, AP/AR transactions by department, IT equipment distribution by department, etc.
Deliverables: Willdan: Submit information request to City.
City: Provide requested data to Willdan (prior to Task 2, Kick-off Call/Refine Scope). We will follow up with the City to confirm in writing the data that we have received, or which is still outstanding.
Task 2: Kick-off / Confirm Project Strategy, Objectives and Timeline / Refine Scope Objective: Confirm and refine project objectives and develop overall project strategy and timeline to ensure the goals are addressed. Identify and discuss policy considerations related to the study and determine appropriate fee categories.
Description: Willdan will meet with City staff to review the approach and objectives, and where necessary, work with staff to refine the scope, timeline, and deliverables. Following this discussion, we will provide a written work plan and timeline with key deliverables and milestones.
We will identify and discuss policy matters typically associated with these studies and address data gaps in order to gain a full understanding of the City’s goals for the cost allocation plan.
We will establish effective lines of communication and processes for information gathering and review, and conduct discussions with City staff to verify the scope, purposes, and objectives for the CAP.
During this call, we will ask that the City assign a project manager to serve as its primary contact. The selected City project manager will ensure that available data is provided to Willdan in a timely manner, thereby maintaining adherence to the project’s schedule.
We will review the current cost allocation methodology and discuss with City staff to determine specific areas of focus as they relate to the City’s objectives, discuss and evaluate current and potential allocation factors, and identify specific questions or areas of concern with the current CAP.
Meetings: One (1) project kick-off call/online meeting to initiate the project, discuss data needs and methodologies, and to address policy matters.
Deliverables: Willdan: If needed, a revised project scope and schedule.
City: Provide further data requirements and select/introduce City’s project manager.
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 8 City of Cypress, CA
Task 3: Gather Staffing Information and Develop Cost Allocation Plan Model Description: This task involves the gathering of specific information, directly from City staff, through interviews and discussion, related to the functions served by indirect staff and the departments served by their activities.
This task also focuses on identifying cost centers and the development of, and/or adjustment of existing, allocation bases, and the development and testing of a model that will ultimately be used to calculate the proper cost allocations derived from data gathered in prior tasks. The updated model will take into account necessary updates to cost categories, allocation bases, or other elements of the methodology to address necessary adjustments from the current methodology.
The model will be developed to incorporate any recent changes in the provision of City services, ensure cost pools reflect organizational structure, identify the total cost of providing indirect overhead support services, fully allocate central service costs to operating groups, and will include provision for appropriate inflationary adjustments going forward.
The model will include flexibility to add or delete costs/cost layers and support service and/or operating groups as changes occur and also the ability to adjust the model and the results annually for inflation, salary, and benefit increases, as well as contract rates.
We will utilize budget and organizational information, and other required information gathered from City staff to complete the work in this task. Specific discussions will be held to discuss allocation bases, services provided by indirect groups, how central overhead services are provided to and utilized by other departments, cost categories, and allocation criteria, and how these will factor into the overall cost allocation methodology.
The model and methodology will produce indirect cost rates and overhead percentages which support the development of fully burdened hourly City staff rates. These hourly rates can be used for a variety of purposes including incorporation into the User Fee Study’s fully burdened personnel rates, billing to Capital Improvement projects work orders, recovery of costs for services provided to City customers working with various City departments.
Meetings: Online meetings with staff to understand structure and operations as model and allocation bases are developed. Key staff will be interviewed to best understand central overhead staffing and functions and the departments served.
Deliverables: Willdan: One (1) user-friendly model in Microsoft Excel format that provides a full cost allocation plan.
Task 4: Test and Review Cost Allocation Methodology
Objective: Test and review model and results with City.
Description: The draft cost allocation plan model will be reviewed with City staff, and adjusted as necessary, to ensure that preliminary allocations provide an accurate depiction of how the central overhead costs should be borne by the operating programs and funds. Over the past several years, we have successfully integrated online meetings by using WebEx™ as an element to our approach.
This allows us to remotely guide staff through the model review and allows you the opportunity to interactively change inputs and test approaches.
Meetings: One (1) online meeting and demonstration with City staff to review the model.
Deliverables: Willdan and City: Draft cost allocation plan model review.
Task 5: Prepare and Present Draft Report
Objective: Prepare the draft cost allocation report.
Description: This task involves the draft report preparation. The cost allocation plan’s background, model methodologies, and results will be discussed; calculations and supporting data will be presented textually and in easily understood tables and provided to the City.
Meetings: One (1) online meeting to present draft report to City staff to review the methodology, approach, and results.
Deliverables: Willdan: Draft report for City review and input.
City: Review of draft report, with comments, and edits.
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 9 City of Cypress, CA
Task 6: Discuss and Revise Report
Objective: Review of draft report, cost distribution methods, and model.
Description: An in-depth review of the draft report and model will be conducted to arrive at an optimum allocation method for each expenditure type.
Often, through the course of an engagement, comments usually revolve around issues of understandability; appropriate levels of enterprise funds’ cost recovery, etc.; ease of calculation; and overhead costs’ distribution methods.
Following a round of comments from City staff concerning the draft report, the final report will be prepared for presentation to City Staff, and if necessary, to the City Council.
Meetings: One (1) conference call with City staff to review the report with changes and revisions and one (1) virtual meeting with City Staff to review results.
Deliverables: Draft report, and revised draft/final report.
Task 7: Prepare and Present Final Report and Model
Objective: Prepare and present the final report to City Staff and City Council. Educate City staff on the operation and use of the model for future modifications.
Description: This task is the culmination of the cost allocation plan project. Based on staff comments on the draft report, Willdan will prepare the final report for presentation to City Council.
Meetings: One (1) virtual meeting with the City Staff, and if needed, one (1) meeting with the City Council to present the final plan if necessary. The City Council meeting will be held in conjunction with the presentation of the user fee study results.
We will also provide staff training on the operation and use of the model, and consult with the City as needed to respond to challenges or questions related to the CAP.
Deliverables: Willdan: Provide one (1) electronic PDF file copy of the final report and model. Using Microsoft Word and Excel, an updateable electronic copy of the study and models, as well as related schedules, will be provided.
Task 8: Supplemental Service – OMB/Part 200/Tribe Compliant Cost Allocation Plan Objective: Adapt Cost Allocation Plan model and report for OMB/Tribe compliance, consistent with 2 CFR 200 Guidelines.
Description: This task will build on the model and analysis developed in preceding tasks, to incorporate adjustments necessary for compliance with OMB guidelines. Willdan will review the allocation methodology and remove costs from the allocations that are not allowed under OMB guidelines. This is accomplished in the same model by flagging these costs and incorporating a toggle that either includes them for full allocation purposes or removes them for OMB purposes.
Meetings: One (1) virtual meeting with the City Staff if needed to review adjustments necessary for OMB compliance.
Deliverables: Willdan: Include OMB adjustments in revised report and incorporate adjustments into base Cost Allocation Plan model. Provide one (1) electronic PDF file copy of the modified report and model, and an OMB modified Excel model,
Task 9: Supplemental Service – Review of Programs/Activities With General Fund Overhead Costs Objective: Review programs that bear General Fund overhead, for eligibility for reimbursement from State/Federal Grants or other revenue sources.
Description: Study programs that include overhead costs borne in whole or in part by the General Fund, that may be eligible for overhead cost reimbursement from State or Federal governments and/or grants. This review will be completed on a case-by-case basis upon request by the City. To better manage costs for the City, these reviews will be discussed in advance with the City, level of effort estimated, and work will be billed at our hourly rates based upon the effort needed.
Documentation for revenue sources for the funds, and limitations on the use of those revenues, will be requested/identified to determine guidelines/limitations related to overhead reimbursement. In our preliminary research we identified approximately 25 funds and numerous related revenue sources. We will request and review documentation, then meet with City staff to discuss findings with the groups served by the revenue sources.
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 10 City of Cypress, CA
Meetings: Virtual meetings with the City Staff as needed to review programs and revenue sources.
Deliverables: Willdan: Summary findings of any City directed review of revenue sources to identify areas where overhead cost reimbursement can be included in reimbursement from State or Federal governments and/or other sources.
Comprehensive User Fee Study
Task 1: Initial Document Request
Objective: Initial due diligence; obtain study-related data.
Description: Prior to the kick-off meeting, we will obtain and review relevant documentation to further enhance our understanding of the services, fees, and rates to be studied. A written request for data will be sent to the City. Please note that data to be collected in Task 5 is not part of this request and will be gathered during the on-site interviews described in Task 5.
We will request information and documentation on current fees and fee programs, activity levels, and budget and staffing information (to the extent not already collected in the Cost Allocation Plan) related specifically to programs and activities which have associated fees, and for which the City has this level of detail.
Deliverables: Willdan: Submit information request to City.
City: Provide requested data to Willdan (prior to Task 3, Kick-off Meeting/Refine Scope). As with the cost allocation plan, we will follow up with the City to confirm receipt of requested data and information and highlight data elements that are outstanding.
Task 2: Compile Inventory of Current and Potential Fees, Document Current Practices Objective: Willdan will identify a schedule of fees and methodology for calculating the fees.
Description: Based on the results of the initial document request, incorporate into our model the existing fees provided by the City, to comprise the parameters of the fee study.
We will examine, assess, and document current fee-setting practices, cost recovery policies and goals and practices. During this process we will identify and discuss with staff opportunities for enhancements or improvements to fee-related activities and approaches.
Meetings: If data is available at the start of the project, a conference call with the City to discuss new fees to implement or existing fees that may no longer be required, otherwise such discussions will take place in Task 5.
Deliverables: Willdan: One (1) draft list of current fees based on initial data provided (to be discussed during the kick-off call).
City: Review initial fee schedule with comments/revisions to be discussed during the kick-off meeting.
Task 3: Kick-off Meeting / Refine Scope
Objective: Confirm goals and objectives for the Comprehensive User Fee Study and finalize project approach and timeline based on these discussions. Identify and discuss policy considerations typically associated with a User Fee Study, for instance cost recovery/subsidy policies, address gaps in data, and refine appropriate existing or new fee categories (based on Task 2).
Description: Verify our understanding of the City’s goals, the City’s cost-recovery policy for user fees, and to fill any gaps in data/information necessary for the project. It is important for the City and Willdan to identify and address any foreseeable problems and maintain open communication throughout the process.
During this call, we will ask that the City identify a project manager who will serve as the primary contact for the project. The project manager shall have responsibility for ensuring that all available data is provided in a timely manner, thereby maintaining adherence to the project’s schedule.
We will discuss potential new fees for services provided, for which fees do not currently exist, and assess gaps in the current fee structure.
Meetings: One (1) virtual project kick-off meeting to initiate the User Fee Study portion of the project, discuss data needs, and address policy objectives.
Deliverables: Willdan: 1) Revised project scope and schedule (if needed); and 2) brief summary of policy decisions (if needed).
City: 1) Provide further data needs; and 2) determine/introduce City’s project manager.
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 11 City of Cypress, CA
Task 4: Develop User Fee Model
Objective: Develop and test model.
Description: This task involves the development of the model ultimately used to calculate the departmental fees, based on data and information gathered in previous tasks and in the Time Survey Interviews.
Key model inputs will include staff and allocated overhead costs per position, and relevant budget data on salaries and benefits.
Any relevant data obtained during the cost allocation plan phase of this project will be incorporated directly into the user fee model. We will request clarification and/or additional data if necessary.
The model will build upon the cost allocation plan results, to provide an allocation of administrative and overhead costs to fee related activities and departments providing services to customers, so that fees and billable rate schedules incorporate applicable costs.
Furthermore, the fees and rates charged to customers will also reflect the cost of the services being provided, to the extent possible given policy and/or political considerations.
Deliverables: Willdan: One (1) user-friendly model in Microsoft Excel format, which, when finalized, City staff can use to calculate fee changes annually, or as often as deemed appropriate by the City Council.
Task 5: Staff Interviews and On-site Information Gathering Objective: Meet with City staff to conduct interviews and discussions necessary to understand staffing, processes and levels of effort associated with service delivery processes.
Description: We will schedule up to one (1) business day of meetings with staff; however, the number of meetings needed may vary depending on the number of staff and departments involved.
The Willdan Team will conduct interviews with representatives from each department involved in the user fee study to determine the average time required by City staff to provide each of the services for which a fee is collected to ensure that City services are not impacted by the information gathering process of the study.
The fee model is designed so that full cost recovery fees are calculated immediately upon input of staff time. These full costs are also compared to current cost recovery levels.
This will allow Willdan and City staff to conclude with a final meeting to review the draft full cost recovery fees and adjust any times as necessary once all information has been compiled and input into the fee model. We will schedule the interviews with staff to minimize any disruption to their normal workflow.
Meetings: Up to one (1) business day of meetings/staff interviews. These may be either in person, or virtual using Zoom or WebEx, or a combination depending on City Staff availability.
We have received feedback that many cities find virtual meetings to be more efficient as they allow for more flexible scheduling and more focused conversation. We will discuss options with City Staff and proceed accordingly.
Over the past five years we have used these tools very successfully and found them to be highly effective and efficient, particularly for follow-up questions and/or discussions.
Deliverables: Willdan and City: Time surveys and draft full cost recovery fees.
Task 6: Data Analysis and Final User Fee Schedule
Objective: Incorporate information obtained from interviews and surveys to fully develop model.
Description: We will update the model, based on information received during the surveys and interviews with City Staff, to generate a comprehensive user fee schedule. In addition, it is very common that a supplemental data request may be necessary, based on new fees identified that the City is not currently collecting.
Where appropriate, we will suggest and discuss with staff alternate approaches to existing fee programs (i.e., building fees) and suggest potential areas where fees could be collected where they are not currently.
We will identify units of service for fee-related activities to calculate the total cost of providing each City service for which fees may be charged and present the full cost recovery level, both current and projected under the new fees, and revenue projections, given certain assumptions about the levels of subsidy for different fees.
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 12 City of Cypress, CA
Current levels of cost recovery will be compared to actual full costs calculated during the course of this study. Cost will be calculated at reasonable activity levels and include all appropriate direct and indirect costs and overhead. We will review fee programs for compliance with Propositions 218 and 26.
In developing the fee schedules for each division, we will make recommendations for adjustments where fees are not recovering appropriate levels of cost, or are not consistent with City policy objectives, and suggest new fees where appropriate, based on our experience with other cities. Some areas for new fees may be due to changes in law (legalized cannabis), or for activities that the City finds itself performing regularly, but for which no fee is collected.
We will review the fee calculation process, and how ultimate fee burdens for new development projects are calculated, when all plan review and permit fees are included, to ensure the amounts are appropriate and reflect the costs necessary for the City to provide the services for which the fees are charged. Where feasible, we will clarify the fee methodologies, and document those in the report and schedule, to provide guidance for City Staff.
The user fee data analysis and model development may take four (4) to eight (8) weeks with frequent correspondence with City staff to discuss current cost recovery amounts, necessary to recover full cost and frequency activity. Where needed, we will provide recommendations for multi-year phase-in of adjustments, to smooth the impact of significant changes. We will also provide guidance for implementation of escalators or CPI or other adjustments to ensure fees remain consistent with costs as they change.
Meetings: Virtual meetings, as necessary, to gather additional input, make adjustments to preliminary results, complete analysis and finalize the fee schedule.
Deliverables: Final user fee model for City Council presentation and discussion.
Task 7: Common Fees Comparison
Objective: Examine selected user fees charged by up to five (5) comparable cities in Orange County or other jurisdictions that are close in proximity or similar to the City of Cypress.
Description: We will request that City project management select, or we can access and use our knowledge of other jurisdictions to benchmark the City’s ten (10) most common visible fees, highest yielding fees, or a specific selection of fees with comparable jurisdictions.
Fee schedules are rarely readily or directly comparable from agency to agency due to definitional and operational differences. For example, a grading permit in one jurisdiction may include the plan check service, while the same permit in another jurisdiction may not, resulting in similar sounding services with widely varying costs. For this reason, any fee comparisons should be made based on more well known and comparable fees that are typical between jurisdictions.
The survey will contain the following, a comparison of fees and charges used by the City and other jurisdictions, and if possible, identify characteristics and processes unique to the City that may account for significant variances in fees and charges used by other jurisdictions.
Deliverables: Willdan: Recommendations provided in Task 8 will incorporate the data gathered during our examination.
Task 8: Prepare and Present Draft Report
Objective: Prepare draft report.
Description: This task involves the preparation of the draft report that discusses the study’s background, the methodologies utilized in the study, and the results and presentation to various stakeholder groups.
As noted below, meetings may occur during this or the next task as appropriate. The calculations used to generate the user fee study will be included textually, as well as in easy to understand tables. Individual fee summaries by department and a comprehensive fee schedule will be included.
The draft report will include the following:
▪ Key results and findings;
▪ Description of the methodology and process by which fees were developed, assumptions, and the procedure for assigning and calculating fees;
▪ Fee schedules for each department included in the study, with current and recommended fees at full and recommended cost recovery levels, including previous cost recovery levels, fee volumes, and percentage changes in fees from previous;
▪ Strategic recommendations for ongoing fee-setting practices, cost recovery policies, and targets; ▪ Basic descriptions of each service;
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 13 City of Cypress, CA
▪ The full cost of each service at lowest reasonable activity level and current cost recovery levels; ▪ Costs broken down graphically into indirect (overhead) and direct components, with a graphic display of the level of cost recovery;
▪ Suggested approaches for increasing fees annually, including adjusting for appropriate indices, including CPI;
▪ Projections of potential fee revenue;
▪ Fee comparisons completed in Task 7; and
▪ Summary and recommendations.
The objective of the report is to communicate the recommendation of appropriate fees, which include the appropriate subsidy percentage for those fees where full cost recovery may be unrealistic.
Meetings: One (1) conference call with City staff and management, to present draft results, address questions and receive feedback and present and review the draft results.
Deliverables: Willdan: Draft report for City review and comment.
City: Review of draft report, with comments and edits.
Task 9: Revise Draft Report/Determine Cost Recovery Levels for Recommended Adoption Objective: Review of draft report and fee model.
Description: The goal of this task is to conduct an in-depth review of the draft report and incorporate feedback and changes that City departments and City Staff may have as a result of that review.
Often through the course of reviewing the report with Cities that we work with, staff will volunteer insightful likes and dislikes regarding the content and format of the report, so that we can make modifications in order to properly convey the purpose, methodology, and results of the study. The recommended fee levels and cost recovery for services that resulted from Task 6 are also reviewed in the context of the report to ensure that the below matters are consistent with City policies and goals. ▪ Understandability;
▪ Fairness to applicants;
▪ Ease of calculation;
▪ Appropriate levels of cost recovery; and
▪ Full cost recovery hourly rates.
When adjusting fee recovery levels, we believe it is important to address these concerns.
Following one (1) round of comments and feedback from City staff and management on the draft report, we will prepare the final report for presentation to City Staff and the City Council.
Meetings: One (1) virtual demonstration (WebEx) with Staff to review the report and model, with any revisions, and if necessary, one (1) virtual meeting to present and review the results with City Staff.
Deliverables: Draft report, revised draft /final report.
Task 10: Prepare and Present Final Report/Provide Model and Instruction to City Staff/Support Objective: Prepare and present final report to City Council. Instruct staff on the operation and use of the model for future modifications. Provide support for implementation and engagement with the public and or key stakeholders.
Description: This task is the culmination of the entire project. Based on staff comments received regarding the draft report, we will prepare the final report for presentation, and provide the fee model to City Staff, with instruction for its use.
The model will be developed to facilitate updates to fees, additions or removals of service areas or fees, adjustments to inputs such as cost components or staffing structures, incorporation of cost escalators, and new fee calculations based on changes to inputs and/or assumptions.
We will provide guidance and support for engagement with elected officials, key stakeholders and the public as needed.
Meetings: As requested, up to one (1) virtual meeting each with City Staff and one (1) meeting with the City Council to review and discuss results and receive cost recovery and suggested fee guidance prior to final consideration/adoption, and one (1) meeting to present the results and adopt the updated fee schedule.
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan 14 City of Cypress, CA
We will address questions and provide explanation and background where needed to help the Council and public understand the process and the recommendations. We are also available to review fee-setting resolutions, ordinances, and/or staff reports.
We will also provide staff training on the operation and use of the model. If in person training is requested, we would provide the training on the same day of the meeting, during regular business hours.
We will provide post-adoption support for up to six months to ensure a smooth integration of the results.
Deliverables: Provide one (1) electronic PDF file copy of the final report and models. Using Microsoft Word and Excel, an updateable electronic copy of the study and models, as well as related schedules, will also be provided.
City Staff Support
To complete our tasks, we will need the cooperation of City staff. We suggest that the City of Cypress assign a key individual to represent the City as the project manager who can function as our primary contact. Willdan will endeavor to minimize the impact on City staff in the completion of this project. We anticipate that the City’s project manager will:
1) Coordinate responses to requests for information;
2) Coordinate review of work products; and
3) Help resolve policy issues.
We will ask for responses to initial information requests in a timely manner. If there are delays on the part of the City, we will contact the City’s project manager to steer the project back on track.

DISCUSSION
Payments to vendors for goods and services received and/or rendered are initiated and approved by the requesting department in accordance with proper purchasing guidelines.
Processing of these payments occurs centrally in the City's Finance Department with payments issued bi-weekly. A register listing of these payments is typically presented each month at the second regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council. This register also includes any Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT), outgoing payroll transfers or wires issued since the previous register was presented to the City Council. Voided payments (if any) are also identified.
All payments are processed on the City's financial management software system. This system generates a payment batch register, sorted by warrant number (or EFT/Wire number), and presents the invoice amount and a description of the payment issued.
BUDGET IMPACT
Total warrants, transfers, and wires issued (net of any voided payments) during the period of August 8, 2026 through September 4, 2026 are $4,572,850.45.
LEGAL REVIEW

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 7.
FROM: Alicia Velasco, Director of Community Development DATE: 09/22/2026
SUBJECT: Orange County Grand Jury Response Letters
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign the attached responses to the Orange County Grand Jury reports for submission to the Presiding Judge of the Orange County Superior Court.
DISCUSSION
On May 19, 2026, the Orange County Grand Jury released a report titled Wildfires Hit Home. On May 27, 2026, the Grand Jury released a second report titled California Housing Mandates: The Unintended Reshaping of Orange County Neighborhoods.
California Penal Code sections 933 and 933.05 require the governing body of a public agency reviewed by the Grand Jury to respond to the findings and recommendations pertaining to matters under its control. The response must generally be submitted to the presiding judge of the Superior Court within 90 days after the Grand Jury submits its report.
Staff reviewed both reports and prepared draft response letters addressing each finding and recommendation to which the City is required to respond. The reports and proposed responses are attached for the City Council’s consideration. It is recommended that the City Council approve the responses and authorize the Mayor to sign the letters on its behalf.
Because the original response deadlines fell during the City Council’s summer recess, the City requested and received extensions. The response to Wildfires Hit Home is due November 19, 2026, and the response to California Housing Mandates is due November 27, 2026.

Orange County Grand Jury 2025-2026 Page 5 of 74
SUMMARY
Wildfires have become a fact of life in California. Persistent drought conditions and accelerated warming have led to an increase in wildfires throughout the state. Of the twenty most destructive wildfires in California history, fifteen have occurred in the last ten years (see Appendix A). From the Camp Fire, also referred to as the Paradise Fire, in Northern California to the Palisades and Eaton Fires in Los Angeles and the Airport Fire in Orange County, the tragic loss of life and the destruction of thousands of homes and structures have upended homeowners’ lives and rocked the insurance industry with billions of dollars in claims just in the last few years. These conditions have made home insurance unaffordable or unavailable for many Orange County residents. The State of California has attempted over recent years to mitigate the impact on ratepayers and insurers and has provided tougher regulations for hardening homes and property. Both the California legislature and the California Department of Insurance have issued recent laws and regulations to address these issues. Significant for this report are Safer from Wildfires (2022), California Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) Plan (1968, revised 2025), Assembly Bill 888 (2025) and California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (2025).
The California FAIR Plan was established in 1968 to provide basic insurance for property owners who could not obtain fire coverage through the traditional insurance market due to being in high-risk fire areas. The FAIR Plan is not a state agency, and it receives no taxpayer funding. It is a syndicated fire insurance pool made up of all insurers licensed to write property/casualty insurance in the state. The FAIR Plan is intended to be the insurer of last resort and is meant to be a temporary safety net helping property owners until they can transition back to the traditional insurance market. The numerous fires over the last few years coupled with private insurers leaving the California market or no longer insuring homes in high-risk areas, have resulted in the FAIR Plan being financially strained with the number of policies more than doubling since September 2023.1 The State Legislature and Department of Insurance both responded with strategies to rebalance this problem requiring insurers to increase the number of policies issued in high-risk areas and to change the way rates are established, however, insurance companies, using loopholes in the legislation, have so far largely avoided meeting the goals set for them.2
The Safer from Wildfires regulation was issued by the Insurance Commissioner after development in partnership with California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. The regulation mandates 1 Key Statistics & Data.

that insurance companies provide rate discounts for various actions that property owners take to create defensible space and harden their homes against wildfires (see Appendix B).
AB888, the California Safe Homes Grant Program, aims to reduce wildfire losses, improve insurability and resilience of vulnerable communities, and support home hardening efforts to help residents qualify for insurance premium incentives. It provides grants to aid qualifying residents and communities to complete wildfire risk mitigation measures.
The California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (CWUIC) refers to the California Building Standards Code, Title 24, Part 7. Effective in January 2026, the CWUIC requires fireresistant and ignition-resistant construction in Fire Hazard Severity Zones or the wildland-urban interface. Requirements were also established for vegetation and hazard mitigation in the same areas. Studies have definitively shown that implementing these home hardening and defensible space requirements, including retrofitting existing homes, will greatly reduce ignition and fire spread, thereby reducing damage and resulting claims. Compliance with the 2015 International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC) could save $4 for every $1 invested and retrofitting structures to the IWUIC could provide from $2 to as much as $8 in benefits for each $1 invested.3 Home hardening and defensible space measures that align with wildland-urban interface codes and Safer from Wildfires regulations will help save homeowners and insurance companies from catastrophic loss.
The 2025-2026 Orange County Grand Jury found evidence that clearly shows Safer from Wildfires home hardening and defensible space measures protect homes and communities, saving homeowners, local governments, and fire authorities as well as insurance companies from catastrophic loss while also providing discounts for homeowners’ insurance premiums.
BACKGROUND
California’s Wildfire Crisis and Insurance Impact
California faces an escalating wildfire crisis fueled by accelerated warming, prolonged droughts, increasingly windy conditions, and expanded development into fire-prone areas. Between 2015 and 2025, 15 of the 20 most destructive wildfires in state history 3 National Institute of Building Science, Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves. 2019. https://nibs.org/wpcontent/uploads/2025/04/NIBS_MMC_MitigationSaves_2019-1.pdf.

occurred, including the Palisades and Eaton Fires in 2025. These events have caused loss of life, devastated communities, destroyed thousands of homes, and resulted in billions in insured losses (see Appendix A).
The Eaton Fire in January 2025, spread through the suburbs of Pasadena destroying 9,413 structures and burning 14,021 acres. It became Los Angeles County’s most destructive and second deadliest fire with 19 fatalities (see Appendix A).
On the same day in January 2025, the Palisades Fires swept through Pacific Palisades, Topanga, and Malibu, consuming 6,833 homes and 23,707 acres. It became Los Angeles County’s third-most destructive fire and third deadliest with 12 fatalities (see Appendix A). Both fires were fueled by strong Santa Ana winds of between 80-100 mph, extremely dry conditions, and dense vegetation, creating what officials called a "perfect storm" for wildfire spread.4,5
