(1) EPASD does not currently utilize its full 7.64% allocation of treatment capacity and therefore the annual PARWQCB operating costs do not reflect EPASD's full utilization of its capacity. As more EPASD EDUs are connected to the system, the annual rate adjustment is calculated by the proportionate increase in Total EPASD Connected EDUs to reflect the anticipated increase operating expenses.
(2) EPASD share of operating and capital expenses is from the PARWQCP Capital Program Finance Committee Meeting presentation dated 11/17/20, on page 10.
(3) All costs from Table 3 of the EPASD 2019 Sewer Capacity Rate Study dated April 17, 2019.

EAST PALO ALTO

SANITARY DISTRICT

STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 29, 2025
TO: East Palo Alto Sanitary District Board of Directors VIA: Melvin E. Gaines, General Manager
BY: Tomo Oku, Finance Director
Humza Javed, District Engineer
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Approval of Previously Adopted Sewer Service Charges to be Collected on the San Mateo County Tax Roll for FY 2025–26 Recommendation

1. Hold a public hearing to consider any objections or protests to the placement of EPASD’s FY 2025–26 sewer service charges on the San Mateo County secured property tax roll pursuant to Health and Safety Code §5473–5473.4; and

2. Adopt a resolution:
a. Confirming the written report of charges and authorizing the charges to be submitted to the County Tax Collector for collection; and b. Finding the proposed action does not constitute a “project” with the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15378(b)(4) and (5) in that it is a governmental fiscal, organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

Background
The East Palo Alto Sanitary District (EPASD) collects sewer service charges to fund operation, maintenance, and capital improvements of the sanitary sewer system. Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 5473–5473.4, the District may elect to collect such charges on the County tax roll. This method of collection requires that the District:
387
EPASD PUBLIC HEARING 11.1
 Prepare a written report describing each parcel receiving sewer service and the amount of the charge;
 File the report with the Clerk
 Publish notice of a public hearing once a week for two consecutive weeks, with the second notice at least seven days before the hearing; and  Hold a public hearing to consider any objections or protests to the report.

Prior to EPASD becoming a subsidiary of the City of East Palo Alto, the former Board of Directors adopted the sewer services charges for FY 2024-25 through Resolution Number 1366 (Attachment 3) on July 30, 2024. In 2019, the board issued a five-year rate schedule reflecting increases of the annual rates up to $720 in compliance with the procedural and substantive requirements of Proposition 218 (Attachment 4). No modifications to the sewer service charges are proposed for FY 2025-2026.

Analysis
The written report has been prepared and filed with the Clerk. It includes:
 Parcel-level charges for residential accounts (fixed rate per unit) and for commercial/industrial parcels (based on water consumption and assigned use category).
 Total charges proposed for FY 2025–26: $5,142,490.36
The rates for FY 2025–26 remain unchanged from the prior fiscal year and are summarized below:

RESIDENTIAL
For each dwelling or living unit, a charge of six hundred sixty dollars ($660) per year applies.

This rate is based on the number of residential units. The adopted rate is $660 per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU).

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
Charges for commercial and industrial users are based on the prior year’s water usage (12- month period during 2024–25), multiplied by the applicable rate per hundred cubic feet (HCF), as follows:

Customer Type Rate per HCF
Restaurants $10.2042
Educational Facilities $5.5431
Offices and Churches $5.5431
388
EPASD PUBLIC HEARING 11.1
Customer Type Rate per HCF
Motels/Hotels $6.3528
Commercial $5.8826
Medical $6.3528
Industrial $6.3528
Recreational $5.8826
A minimum charge of $660 per year is imposed on all commercial and industrial parcels, regardless of calculated usage.

Notices of the public hearing were published in accordance with State law. Upon conclusion of the hearing and adoption of the resolution, staff will submit the final parcel-level charge report and required authorizations to the San Mateo County Controller by July 31, 2025, in compliance with County procedures.

The accompanying resolution includes:
 Statutory authority under Health & Safety Code §§ 5473–5473.4;  Fiscal year applicability (FY 2025–26);
 Authorization for the San Mateo County Controller to place the charges on the property tax roll;
 The total charges to be levied, and the highest and lowest amounts per parcel.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Use of the County tax roll for charge collection remains the most cost-effective and secure method for ensuring timely revenue for EPASD operations.

Public Notice
The public was provided notice by making the agenda and report available on the City’s website and on a bulletin board located at City Hall: 2415 University Avenue, East Palo Alto. In addition, a notice of public hearing was published on a local newspaper on July 16, 2025 ,and on July 22, 2025.

Environmental
The proposed action does not constitute a “project” with the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15378(b)(4) and (5) in that it is a governmental fiscal, organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

Government Code § 84308

II. BACKGROUND
The District provides wastewater service to customers in the City of East Palo Alto, and adjacent areas in Menlo Park and San Mateo County. In order to provide this service, the District owns and operates a wastewater collection system. The District funds its services through imposition of sewer service charges. The District retained Bartle Wells Associates, an independent financial consultant, to conduct a comprehensive cost of service analysis and rate study (“Study”).

Based on the Study, District staff is recommending that the Board consider increases to the sewer service charges. Tonight’s public hearing is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of article XIII D, section 6 of the California Constitution (“Proposition 218”).

The District last adopted rate increases four years ago. If no majority protest is filed by affected property owners or customers of record, and the Board determines to adopt the rates for the sewer service fees and charges as recommended by Staff, the District will continue to be among the lowest in San Mateo County.

Description of the District’s Sewer System and Increased Costs The District’s sewer system consists of approximately 35 miles of pipelines and related infrastructure. Sewage is conveyed by the District to a regional wastewater treatment plant operated by the City of Palo Alto where it is treated to meet strict environmental requirements.

The District has not increased its rates for four years. As such, over the course of the last year, the District has worked closely with Bartle Wells to determine whether rate increases are necessary, and the recommended amounts and structure for the proposed rates. The Study, which has been on file with the Secretary of the District and available for public inspection for the last several 461
months, determined that rate increases are necessary to address the following financial goals and challenges:

Rehabilitate the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
The District is required to fund its share of capital improvements to the regional wastewater treatment plant. A Long Range Facilities Plan developed for the regional treatment plant identifies over $300 million of improvements needed to replace, rehabilitate, and upgrade aging infrastructure, address deficiencies, and meet regulatory requirements. These projects will be phased in over time. The District anticipates it will be responsible for funding approximately 7.65% of these costs. The District’s share of expenses for the regional treatment plant are outside the District’s control and account for almost 40% of the District’s total annual expenses.

Repair & Replace Aging Sewer System Pipelines
In order to keep the sewer system in good operating condition, the District will need to continue repairing and replacing its aging and deteriorating sewer pipelines and infrastructure. Many of the District’s sewer pipelines are over 60 years old and will require repair, replacement, or rehabilitation in upcoming years.

Fund the District’s Operating & Maintenance Expenses
Rate adjustments are needed to keep revenues in line with operating and maintenance expenses. In recent years, the District increased preventive maintenance in order to comply with state regulatory requirements.

Overall, District revenue requirements including the costs of the abovementioned projects are projected to increase to $7,212,000 in the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2024, from $5,195,000 in the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2018. Without a rate increase, the District will not generate sufficient revenue to meet these expenses. Detailed information relating to projected revenue and revenue requirements are included in the Study.

Proposed Five-Year Rate Structure
The proposed rate schedule phases in rate increases over a five year period, commencing July 1, 2019 with increases scheduled each July 1 thereafter through and including July 1, 2023. The District has two customer classes – residential, and commercial/industrial. Customer classes are determined based on shared characteristics relating to strength and flow of discharge.

The residential rate structure includes a flat annual charge per dwelling unit. The commercial/industrial rates are determined based on hundred cubic feet of annual metered water use, and are subject to a minimum annual charge equal to 462
the flat residential rate for the applicable year. Commercial/industrial customers are further divided based on the strength of the wastewater discharged, with low strength customers (including offices, churches, and educational facilities), standard strength customers (including general commercial and recreational), moderate strength customers (including hotels, motels, medical, and industrial), and high strength customers (including restaurants).

If adopted, the proposed rates will take effect on July 1, 2019, and will increase automatically each July 1 thereafter through and including July 1, 2023, as set forth in the table below. Multi-year rates provide flexibility and financial stability for public agencies when budgeting capital projects and ongoing expenses in the future. Additionally, multi-year rates reduce administrative costs associated with adopting new rates annually. Multi-year rates are authorized under article XIII D, section 6 of the California Constitution, as well as Government Code section 53750, part of the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act). Section 53750(h) defines the term “increase” for purposes of determining whether an agency must first comply with the procedural requirements of Proposition 218 (discussed in more detail below):
“A tax, fee, or charge is not deemed to be “increased” by an agency action that … [a]djusts the amount of a tax, fee, or charge in accordance with a schedule of adjustments, including a clearly defined formula for inflation adjustment that was adopted by the agency prior to November 6, 1996.”
The current and proposed rates are set forth below:
463
1 Applies to each dwelling unit per single family residence, duplex, triplex, apartment, multi-family, auto court, rooming house, trailer park, mobile home, cottage, or flat.

Note: One hundred cubic feet (hcf) equals approximately 748 gallons.

Compliance with Procedural and Substantive Requirements of Proposition 218
Property-related fees, including the sewer service fees and charges, are subject to the procedural and substantive requirements set forth in article XIII D of the California Constitution. Article XIII D was added as a part of Proposition 218 in 1996.

Procedural Requirements
Article XIII D, section 6(a) sets forth a number of procedural requirements for adoption of new or increased property-related fees.
• First, the District must identify all parcels upon which the sewer service fee will be imposed (i.e. any parcel which receives sewer service from the District); • Second, the District must calculate the amount of the fee on each parcel; • Third, the District must mail written notice to each property owner of an affected parcel, or tenant directly liable to the District for payment of sewer service fees and charges, including the amount of the fee, the basis upon which it was calculated, the reason for the rate increase, and the date, time, and location of the public hearing;
• Fourth, at the noticed date, time, and location, the District must hold a public hearing. If protests have been filed by a majority of owners or customers of record of separate parcels, the District may not adopt the proposed rate increase.

The District complied with the first three procedural requirements, and the fourth will be met after holding the public hearing. Notice with all of the required information was mailed to property owners on or around May 8, 2019 written protests must be filed in order to constitute a majority protest.

Substantive Requirements
In addition, the proposed rate increase must meet the substantive requirements of Proposition 218, set forth in article XIII D, section 6(b), which provide as follows:
• Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property related service.
464
• Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed. • The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.
• No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question.
• No fee or charge may be imposed for general governmental services including, but not limited to, police, fire, ambulance or library services, where the service is available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners.

In order to ensure compliance with the substantive requirements set forth above, the District retained Bartle Wells, an independent financial consultant, to prepare the Study. The Study provides the documentation and evidence demonstrating compliance with the substantive requirements set forth above, and has been available for inspection at the offices of the District Secretary since the date the notice of public hearing was mailed to property owners and customers of record.

III. STAFF COMMENTS
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors hold the public hearing and, if no majority protest exists, adopt the attached resolution adopting new or increased sewer service charges. In order to ensure that the fees and charges may be adopted on the property tax roll, the proposed resolution must be adopted by at least two-thirds of the Directors.

IV. ACTION OPTIONS
The Board may determine not to adopt the new or increased rates for the sewer service charges. However, if the increases are not adopted, the District may not be able to meet its revenue requirement in the coming years.

V. NEXT STEPS
If adopted, staff further recommends that the Board take action to collect the sewer service charges on the property tax roll pursuant to the below process, which must be repeated annually:
• A report detailing each parcel subject to the sewer service charges for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2019, and the amount of the fee thereon, must be prepared and filed with the secretary;
465
• Notice must be published in a newspaper of general circulation, stating that such a report has been filed and setting forth a time and place for a public hearing on whether to collect the sewer service fees on the property tax roll; • Notice must be published once a week for two weeks (with five days between each publication) prior to the date of the public hearing; • If no majority protest exists at the public hearing, the Board (by resolution or ordinance adopted by at least two thirds of the Directors) may direct collection of the sewer service charges on the property tax roll.

1 Dear Property Owner or Customer,
The East Palo Alto Sanitary District (EPASD) provides wastewater service to customers in the City of East Palo Alto and adjacent areas of Menlo Park and San Mateo County. EPASD owns and operates a wastewater collection system consisting of approximately 35 miles of sewer pipelines. The District’s sewage is conveyed to a regional wastewater treatment plant operated by the City of Palo Alto where it is treated to meet strict environmental requirements.

EPASD relies primarily on revenues generated from sewer service charges to fund its operations and pay for EPASD’s share of costs for the regional wastewater treatment plant. To meet the annual funding needs of EPASD and the regional treatment plant, EPASD is proposing to gradually increase it sewer rates over the next five years. EPASD last adopted sewer rate increases in 2015, almost four year ago. With the proposed rate increases, EPASD’s rates will remain among the lowest in San Mateo County.

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SEWER RATE INCREASES This notice is being sent to inform you that the East Palo Alto Sanitary District will hold a Public Hearing on proposed rate increases for sewer service charges on June 27th, 2019 beginning at 7:00 p.m. at EPASD’s office located at 901 Weeks Street, East Palo Alto, California, 94303. Property owners, customers and members of the community are invited to attend the Public Hearing and provide public comment.

WHY ARE SEWER RATE INCREASES NEEDED?
The proposed rate increases are needed to fund projected operating expenses, help fund high priority improvements to EPASD’s aging sewer collection system, pay for EPASD’s share of operating and capital improvement costs for the regional wastewater treatment plant, and support safe and reliable service. The proposed rates are needed to:
 Rehabilitate the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant – In addition to facing cost increases for treatment plant operations, EPASD will also be required to fund its share of capital improvements to the regional wastewater treatment plant. A Long Range Facilities Plan developed for the regional treatment plant identifies over $300 million of improvements needed to replace, rehabilitate, and upgrade aging infrastructure, address deficiencies, and meet regulatory requirements. These projects will be phased in over time. EPASD anticipates that it will be responsible for funding approximately

7.65% of these costs. EPASD’s share of expenses for the regional treatment plant are outside the District’s control and account for almost 40% of EPASD’s total annual expenses.  Repair & Replace Aging Sewer System Pipelines – In order to keep the sewer system in good operating condition, EPASD will need to continue repairing and replacing its aging and deteriorating sewer pipelines and infrastructure. Many of the District’s sewer pipelines are over 60 years old and will require repair, replacement, or rehabilitation in upcoming years.  Fund EPASD’s Operating & Maintenance Expenses – Small gradual rate adjustments are needed to keep revenues in line with operating and maintenance expenses. In recent years, EPASD increased preventive maintenance in order to comply with state regulatory requirements.

FINAL DRAFT

EAST PALO ALTO SANITARY DISTRICT
472
2 PROPOSED SEWER RATES
EPASD is proposing to phase in a series of gradual sewer rate increases as shown on the table below. The proposed rates are designed to fairly and equitably recover the costs of providing service to all customers.

Residential customers pay a fixed annual sewer service charge per dwelling unit. Commercial and industrial customers pay usage-based charges that are subject to a minimum annual charge. Commercial/Industrial charges are calculated based on a) the rate applicable to each customer class multiplied by b) metered water consumption from the prior year as measured in hundred cubic feet, subject to c) a minimum annual charge. EPASD incurs a substantial amount of fixed costs regardless of how much wastewater is discharged, and the minimum annual charge ensures customers with low levels of use pay their proportional share of fixed costs. The minimum annual charge only applies when the sewer charge based on metered water consumption from the prior year is less than the minimum annual charge listed in the table below.

Commercial and industrial rates vary by customer type with higher rates charged to customers with higher strength wastewater.

The proposed sewer rate increases are in line with EPASD’s strategy of adopting smaller gradual rate adjustments to keep rates in line with the cost of providing service. Impacts to commercial and industrial customers vary the first year due to proposed rate structure modifications designed to simplify EPASD’s commercial rate structure and realign rates with the cost of providing service. Sewer service charges are rounded to the nearest cent.
1 Applies to each dwelling unit per single family residence, duplex, triplex, apartment, multi-family, auto court, rooming house, trailer park, mobile home, cottage, or flat.

Note: One hundred cubic feet (hcf) equals approximately 748 gallons.

3 COMMUNITY INPUT & WRITTEN PROTEST PROCEDURES
Members of the community, property owners and customers are invited to attend the Public Hearing.

Property owners or customers impacted by the proposed rate increases may submit written protests against the proposed sewer rates. Each protest must (1) be in writing; (2) identify the property for which the protest is being submitted, such as by assessor’s parcel number or street address; and (3) include the name and original signature of the property owner or customer of record submitting the protest. Written protests may be submitted by mail or delivered to the East Palo Alto Sanitary District, 901 Weeks Street, East Palo Alto, California 94303. Protests submitted by e-mail, facsimile, or other electronic means will not be accepted. Only one protest will be counted per parcel. Written protests must be received by EPASD prior to the conclusion of the Public Hearing.

After the conclusion of the Public Hearing, EPASD’s Board of Directors will consider adoption of the proposed sewer rates. If written protests are received from less than a majority of affected parcels, EPASD may consider adoption of sewer rates at or below the levels proposed in this notice. EPASD remains committed to operating as efficiently as possible and will only increase rates as needed to fund its costs for providing safe and reliable sewer service.

EPASD’S SEWER RATES WILL REMAIN LOW COMPARED TO OTHER REGIONAL AGENCIES The following chart shows a comparison of regional monthly sewer service charges for a typical single family home. As shown on the chart, EPASD’s sewer rates are currently significantly below the regional average and are among the lowest compared to other San Mateo County agencies. With the proposed rate increases, EPASD’s rates are projected to remain among the lowest compared to other regional agencies.

PUBLIC HEARING 14.1

EAST PALO ALTO

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 29, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Melvin E. Gaines, City Manager
BY: Tomohito Oku, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee reports and amendment to City’s Master Fee Schedule – Continued from June 17 and July 15, 2025
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution:

1. Approving the Cost Allocation Plan and User and Regulatory Fee Study as the basis for amending the Master Fee Schedule;

2. Amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule, based on Cost Allocation Plan and User and Regulatory Fee Study; and

3. Finding the proposed action does not constitute a “project” with the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15378(b)(4) and (5) in that it is a governmental fiscal, organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
This recommendation is primarily aligned with:
 Priority: Governance, Organizational Strength, and Fiscal Sustainability Background
This agenda item is a continuation of the public hearing originally held on June 17, 2025, regarding proposed updates to the Master Fee Schedule. During that meeting, the City Council expressed concerns about the potential impact of fee increases, particularly for residential480 PUBLIC HEARING 14.1
related building permit fees, and directed staff to provide additional time for the development community and other stakeholders to review the proposed changes and submit input.

The public hearing was continued to July 15, 2025, during which staff presented revised and reduced fees for residential-related building permits. These revisions aimed to support affordability and address concerns raised by the Council. Councilmembers appeared to support the revised residential fees, and no further objections were raised on that portion of the schedule.

However, new concerns were introduced regarding the proposed plan check and building permit fees for high-valuation projects, including questions about the structure of valuationbased fee escalation and the comparability of fees to those in peer jurisdictions. In response, the Council continued the hearing to July 29, 2025, to allow additional time for review and discussion before final consideration of the proposed fee schedule.

Analysis
At the July 15, 2025 meeting, representatives from the development community raised concerns about the magnitude of proposed plan check and building permit fees for high-value projects. Specifically, they cited the 965 Weeks Street affordable housing project, a large-scale development that incurred significantly lower fees under the City’s prior time-and-materials (T&M) approach, as a point of comparison. They questioned why fees for a similar project would be substantially higher under the proposed flat-fee structure. Developer’s also compared these proposed City of East Palo Alto fees to those of the City of Redwood City.

In response, staff reviewed the circumstances of the 965 Weeks project and found that it was a City-sponsored development led by City staff, and as such, City staff time and related overhead were not billed to the project. Additionally, at that time, the City’s building services were heavily supported by outside consultants, who not only performed inspection and plan check work but also filled vacant roles such as Building Inspector and Building Official. As a result, the fees collected did not reflect the full cost of service and were not subject to the same cost recovery methodology used in the current study.

The proposed fees are based on the City's updated Cost Allocation Plan and full cost recovery principles, which include direct staff time, overhead, and administrative support. While comparisons to past projects can be informative, the 965 Weeks project is not a reliable benchmark for evaluating the proposed fee structure due to its unique staffing and funding context.

Considering the City of Redwood City fees, staff emphasizes that costs, resources, efficiency, and a number of other factors vary amongst municipal organizations. Because of this, the fees that one organization implements for cost recovery may differ from those of another. The City 481
PUBLIC HEARING 14.1
Council has the ability to reduce fee amounts if done in a programmatic way (i.e., not benefiting any particular individual or business); however, doing so would result in the City providing the associated services without full cost recovery.

While staff continues to recommend a flat-fee structure for administrative efficiency and cost predictability, the City may, at the Council’s discretion, consider alternatives on a case-by-case basis for large-scale developments where financial feasibility may be impacted, but a public benefit must be articulated. This could include a negotiated reimbursement agreement based on time and materials plus City overhead, or a formal developer reimbursement structure using third-party plan check and inspection services. Although not a formal staff recommendation at this time, staff does not wish to preclude the possibility of flexible arrangements in circumstances where justified by project size, complexity, or public/community benefit. Staff continues to recommend adoption of the proposed fees to ensure transparency, consistency, and alignment with the City’s cost recovery goals.

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 17, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Melvin E. Gaines, City Manager
BY: Tomohito Oku, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee reports and amendment to City’s Master Fee Schedule
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution:

1. Approving the Cost Allocation Plan and User and Regulatory Fee Study as the basis for amending the Master Fee Schedule;

2. Amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule, based on Cost Allocation Plan and User and Regulatory Fee Study; and

3. Finding the proposed action does not constitute a “project” with the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15378(b)(4) and (5) in that it is a governmental fiscal, organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
This recommendation is primarily aligned with all the City Council Strategic goals:
 Promote Housing, Economic and Workforce Development
 Implement the Comprehensive Transportation and Mobility Plan  Promote Health & Public Safety
 Ensure Our Financial and Organizational Health
 Improve the City's Water Infrastructure
 Develop and Implement a Comprehensive Facilities Master Plan 501
Public Hearing 4.3
 Enhance Community Services and Parks for Residents
Background
The City of East Palo Alto maintains a Master Fee Schedule that establishes the fees and charges imposed for a wide range of municipal services and activities. These include user and regulatory fees—such as those related to planning, building, public works, code enforcement, parks, housing and police services—as well as developer impact fees for infrastructure improvements including transportation, parks, water, stormwater, and public facilities.

Under California law, cities are authorized to recover the reasonable cost of services through fees, provided they do not exceed the estimated cost of providing the service (Cal. Const., art.

XIIIC, §1). The City’s Master Fee Schedule is periodically reviewed and updated to ensure compliance with legal requirements and alignment with the City’s fiscal policies on cost recovery and service efficiency.

To support these objectives, the City engaged Matrix Consulting Group, Ltd. in November 2024 to prepare a comprehensive Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) and User and Regulatory Fee Study. These studies assist the City in identifying the actual cost of providing municipal services and help departments evaluate appropriate user fees based on cost recovery targets.

The results offer an analytical tool to understand service levels, demand, and the full cost of service delivery—enabling informed policy decisions on which fees can and should be charged. The City last conducted similar studies during Fiscal Year 2019–20.

Separately, the City completed an updated Development Impact Fee Nexus Study, resulting in the adoption of new development impact fees by the City Council on March 4, 2025. These updated fees became effective on May 4, 2025, and are included as a separate chapter in the Master Fee Schedule. While not part of the Matrix study, the impact fees reflect the City’s broader commitment to maintaining fiscal sustainability and ensuring that new development pays its fair share of infrastructure costs.

Together, the updated CAP and User fee study, and the impact fee schedule reinforce the City’s dedication to transparency, equity, and financial stewardship.

This staff report includes two components: the Cost Allocation Plan and the User and Regulatory Fee Study. It presents the findings of both studies for City Council review and discussion. Based on the results of these studies, staff recommends adopting a resolution to amend the City’s Master Fee Schedule to ensure that fees reflect the actual cost of providing services and align with the City’s cost recovery goals.

Analysis
Full Cost Allocation Plan
The Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) provides a systematic and transparent method for distributing the costs of central support services—such as Finance, Human Resources, and 502
Public Hearing 4.3
the City Manager’s Office—to City departments and funds that benefit from them. Developed by the Matrix Consulting Group, the CAP reflects the City’s current organizational structure, budget, and service relationships.

Purpose and Benefits of the CAP:

The CAP serves multiple purposes:
 Fairness and Equity: It ensures that internal overhead costs are allocated proportionally to departments and programs based on their actual use of central services.
 Cost Recovery: It enables the City to appropriately charge enterprise funds, special revenue funds, and other non-General Fund sources, ensuring that the General Fund is not subsidizing unrelated activities.
 Fee Setting: It provides the overhead component necessary to establish defensible fullcost user and regulatory fees.  Transparency and Accountability: It documents allocation logic and supports datadriven financial planning, grant management, and internal service reimbursements.  Budget Development: The FY2025–26 proposed budget incorporates this updated CAP to allocate indirect costs accurately across all departments and funds, improving the integrity of cost projections and supporting informed resource decisions.

The methodology used adheres to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and guidance under the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 2 CFR Part 200, utilizing the double step-down allocation method to recognize both direct and interdepartmental support relationships.

Overview of Central Services and Allocations:

The CAP is based on FY2024–25 budgeted expenditures and includes the following 10 central service divisions/departments:
 City Council
 City Manager – Administration
 City Clerk
 Human Resources
 City Attorney
 Finance
 Public Works – Administration
 Public Works – Maintenance
 Non-Departmental
 Building Use (depreciation of City-owned facilities)
Each central service was assigned appropriate allocation bases (e.g., number of employees, budget share, number of transactions, or work orders) to proportionally distribute overhead to the receiving divisions/departments.
503
Public Hearing 4.3
From a total of $16.73 million in central service costs, the plan allocated $9.01 million to operating departments and funds. The remaining $7.72 million was excluded from allocation to avoid burdening departments with costs unrelated to their operations (e.g., elections, litigation, citywide park maintenance).

Inclusion of the East Palo Alto Sanitary District (EPASD):

A key update in the CAP is the inclusion of the East Palo Alto Sanitary District (EPASD), which became a subsidiary district of the City as of October 1, 2024. The previous CAP did not include EPASD, as it operated as an independent district. With the reorganization, City departments now provide direct administrative, financial, legal, and managerial services to the District.

Given the heightened public interest and need for accountability to ratepayers, it is important to underscore that the overhead charges allocated to EPASD are based on a transparent and defensible methodology that reflects the actual cost of City services provided. The inclusion of EPASD in the CAP promotes equity and fiscal integrity across all funds and ensures that EPASD pays only its proportionate share of shared City resources.

The total FY25 overhead allocated to EPASD is $939,297, as summarized in the following table (from Table 4 of the Results Memo):

These allocations reflect services such as:
 Executive oversight by the City Manager, who also serves as General Manager of EPASD, with assistance from the Assistant City Manager, Assistant to the City Managers, and Executive Assistant
 Legal support from the City Attorney for governance and compliance,  Day-to-day budgeting, accounting, and billing handled by the Finance Department,  Operational coordination through the Public Works Department. 504
Public Hearing 4.3
It should be noted that insurance and information technology (IT) services are not included in the CAP but are instead allocated separately through the City’s internal service funds, which are structured as sub-funds of the General Fund. EPASD pays its proportional share of these costs based on the models using the number of employees managed through those internal service mechanisms.

Where direct activity data was unavailable, estimates were developed using conservative, industry-standard allocation bases. Future iterations of the CAP will incorporate refined data as the City further integrates EPASD operations.

Annual CAP Adjustments:

In addition to adopting the updated Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) as part of this staff report, staff recommends implementing an annual inflationary adjustment to the CAP chargebacks using the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI). This approach ensures that internal overhead cost distributions remain aligned with changes in the cost of providing central support services such as City Manager Administration, finance, human resources, and facilities.

The Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward region, or another index reflective of the City's cost structure, should be applied to the CAP’s cost pool totals to adjust allocations in subsequent fiscal years, subject to City Council review and approval. This annual adjustment mechanism will allow the City to maintain accuracy and fairness in cost allocations across departments and funds, including enterprise and special revenue funds, without the administrative burden of conducting a full CAP study each year.

Full CAP updates are generally recommended every three to five years, or in response to significant organizational or cost structure changes. In the interim, a CPI-based update is a transparent, efficient, and widely accepted tool to ensure the City continues to equitably distribute indirect costs in accordance with current financial conditions and service levels.

Implementing this adjustment framework will help safeguard fiscal integrity, promote transparency, and support consistent cost recovery practices across City operations.

Staff will return each year as part of the budget process with a proposed CPI-based adjustment for Council consideration and approval.

User and Regulatory Fee Study
Project Background and Overview:

In November 2024, the City of East Palo Alto engaged Matrix Consulting Group to conduct a comprehensive User and Regulatory Fee Study as part of a broader initiative to improve cost transparency, update the City’s Master Fee Schedule, and align user fees with the actual cost of service. The current effort was performed in parallel with the City’s updated Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) to ensure that indirect costs were properly incorporated into the full cost of services.
505
Public Hearing 4.3
The Matrix Consulting Group analyzed the cost-of-service relationships that exist between fees for service activities in the following areas: Building, Code Enforcement, Community Services, Engineering, Environmental Services, Finance, Housing, Planning, Police, Rent Stabilization, and East Palo Alto Sanitation District.

The study evaluates the full cost of services provided by City departments to individual applicants, property owners, and other external users. It is intended to ensure that fees are aligned with current service delivery costs, minimize unintended General Fund subsidies, and promote equity in how services are financed.

General Project Approach and Methodology:

Matrix Consulting Group used a widely accepted “bottom-up” cost analysis methodology to determine the full cost of providing City services. This approach begins by estimating the time required per unit of activity for each staff position involved in fee-related services. Once time estimates are established, all relevant cost components are applied to calculate the full cost of service, including:
 Direct Costs: Budgeted salaries, benefits, and allowable departmental expenditures for FY2024–25.
 Indirect Costs: Programmatic, departmental, and citywide overhead support The following key steps were taken in the development of the fee study:

1. Staff Interviews – City departments worked with the consultant to clarify existing fees and identify new services.

2. Data Collection – Matrix gathered time estimates, staffing levels, and cost data using FY2024–25 budget information.

3. Cost Analysis – The full cost of each service was calculated using Matrix’s cost modeling tools.

4. Review and Validation – Results were reviewed and validated by department managers
This approach ensures that the resulting fee calculations are transparent, detailed, and grounded in current budget and operational data.

Summary of Results:

When comparing fee-related revenue to the total annual cost, the City is recovering only 86% of its costs – resulting in under-recovery of approximately $549,000. The following table shows the revenue collected, total cost, cost recovery percentage and the shortfall by major division. 506
Public Hearing 4.3
The Fee-Related Revenue is calculated based on the current fee and the current service level while the Fee-Related Cost is developed by this study. The largest deficit is in relation to Rent Stabilization at $317,250, which is in relation to incorporating overhead associated with administering the rent stabilization program. The high level of cost recovery is anticipated for the City as the City had recently completed a fee study in 2020 and has conducted annual fee increases.

The detailed documentation of this study will show an over-collection for some fees (on a per unit basis) and an undercharge for most others. The results of this analysis provides the Department and the City with guidance on how to right-size their fees to ensure that each service unit is set at an amount that does not exceed the full cost of providing that service.

Staff recommend full cost recovery for almost all fees except for certain community services (park and recreation) fees considering equity and reasonableness to community members.

Results Overview by Division:

This section provides a high-level summary of the User and Regulatory Fee Study results by City division. For more detailed information on each fee, including modifications to the current fee schedule such as elimination, consolidation, or addition of specific fees. Staff recommend referring to Attachment 3 – User and Regulatory Fee Study Report. While individual cost calculations are not included, the attachment offers important context to support the recommendations outlined in this report.

Building:

The Building Division within the Community and Economic Development Department is responsible for ensuring compliance with the California Building Code through services such as plan review, permit issuance, inspections, and code enforcement. The Division works directly with property owners, contractors, and developers to ensure that construction projects meet safety, structural, and accessibility standards.

The fee study calculated the full cost of building-related services, incorporating direct staff labor, materials, and overhead allocations based on the Citywide overhead. Services evaluated include permit processing, plan checks, field inspections, re-inspections, and administrative services.
507
Public Hearing 4.3
Eliminated Fees: Staff proposed eliminating fees associated with Building’s review of Planning and Engineering Services, as those are captured on their respective fee schedules.

They also propose to eliminate the ‘Processing Fee’ as that is captured in the base permit fees.

New Fees: Staff proposed the addition of the following fees, to capture services already provided but not codified:
 Processing Fee to review mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) plans  Reproduction of plans
 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) Building Permit Resource Center access As shown in Attachment 3 (Table 4, page 11), the study identified a number of valuationbased fees—especially those for lower-dollar construction projects—that are not recovering the full cost of service. Conversely, a small number of fees reflect slight over-recoveries where flat charges exceed staff time needed. These imbalances suggest the need for targeted adjustments.

To support the development of ADUs in East Palo Alto, the City has joined the newly formed San Mateo County ADU Resource Center. As outlined in the FY24-25 and FY25-26 budgets, East Palo Alto pays an annual membership fee of $34,000 for access to the ADU Resource Center and its staff. The Center provides public workshops and offers direct support to ADU applicants during open office hours. Membership dues vary by jurisdiction and are based on the number of ADUs projected in each jurisdiction’s Housing Element. While keeping ADU development costs low is important, this membership directly benefits ADU applicants and is currently funded through the City’s General Fund without cost recovery.

To address this, the City could implement an ADU Resource Center fee for each ADU applicant. This would offset the membership cost and reduce the burden on the General Fund.

The potential to recover these costs was previously noted in a City Council report on November 12, 20241.

Based on prior year workload, the Building Division collected approximately $2.3 million in revenue against a total projected cost of $2,485,326, resulting in a shortfall of $185,000 and a cost recovery rate of 93%. The study recommends right-sizing valuation-based fees to improve alignment with actual staff effort, especially for smaller projects where the City is currently subsidizing service delivery.

The proposed fee adjustments for Building services are detailed in Attachment 3 (Table 4, page 11), which outlines the current fee, full cost, and recommended changes by category.

Code Enforcement:

1 November 12, 2024 City Council (Item 3.2): https://d3n9y02raazwpg.cloudfront.net/cityofepa/66c51685-d815- 11ee-98bb-0050569183fa-3408cd31-ecd7-4429-9d91-65986d552499-1730779159.pdf 508
Public Hearing 4.3
The Code Enforcement Unit, also part of the Community and Economic Development Department, enforces property maintenance, building, and zoning codes to address violations such as illegal construction, blight, or unpermitted uses.

The study evaluated the cost of inspections, case management, and administrative processing based on staff time and overhead allocations. These activities help maintain community standards and ensure safety and habitability.

As shown below and in Attachment 3 (Table 12, page 19), code enforcement fees are all new except for the notary fee. The study recommends implementing those fees that reflect the staff time and resources required for investigation, documentation, and follow-up actions on violations. The Code Enforcement Investigation fee will be applied specifically when Notices of Violations or Citations are issued, ensuring it aligns with the enforcement process for addressing such cases. This fee is intended to offset the costs associated with investigating valid complaints and to discourage repeat violators from excessively utilizing staff resources.

Planning:

The Planning Division, part of the Community and Economic Development Department, oversees both current and long-range planning, maintains the City’s General Plan, and enforces Zoning Regulations. The Division charges fees for a variety of services including preapplication review, design review, zoning clearance, subdivision review, use permits, rezonings, environmental review, and entitlement approvals.

The fee study calculated the full cost of each service, incorporating direct staff time, divisional expenses, and Citywide overhead. As shown in Attachment 3 (Table 20, page 34), the analysis identified a mix of over- and under-recoveries across the Planning Division’s fee schedule. The largest under-recovery is $4,166 for ‘Master/Common Sign Program’. The largest over-recovery is in relation to ‘Tentative Maps’, particularly those that involve five or more parcels. Fortunately, these are rare and would not have much of a cumulative effect on the fee revenue. In discussion with staff, changes in processes and increased efficiency are resulting in a reduced level of staff effort needed to process these entitlements. For example, final maps are primarily a Public Works / Engineering function, and therefore, the cost has shifted from Planning to Engineering for those services.

Eliminated Fees: Staff proposed eliminating the following fees, as these services are no longer offered by City staff or are now offered by other departments within the City:
 Zoning Review for Business License
 Public Utility Tower
 Research / Document Review
 Address Assignment (transferred to the Building Division) New Fees: Staff proposed the addition of fees for minor and major ‘Permit Adjustments’.

Condensed Fees: To streamline the fee schedule, staff proposed condensing the following fees:
509
Public Hearing 4.3
 The ‘Temporary Use Permit’ section was condensed into a ‘Minor’, ‘Administrative’, and ‘Major’ fee to streamline the fee schedule.
 The ‘Parking Exception’ fee was condensed into a singular per hour fee.  The ‘Variance’ fees were condensed into a singular fee.  The ‘Staff Management & Review’ was removed from all Environmental related fees.  The ‘Zoning Clearance’ was consolidated into a singular fee.  Minor Modification to Conditions’ and ‘Modifications to Conditions’ are captured within the Renewal / Modifications to Conditions section under the respective fee category that aligns with the type of application being modified.
 Initial Study - Negative Declaration’ is captured under ‘Initial Study - Mitigated Negative Declaration/ Negative Declaration’.
 Noticing Fee’ is captured under ‘Noticing/Special Noticing’.  Zoning Text Amendment’ and ‘Zone Change’ were combined into a single fee.

Modified Fees: The following fee modifications were proposed to better clarify the services being provided.
 The ‘Hourly SB 35 Pre-Application (5 hr. minimum)’ was renamed the ‘Preliminary Ministerial Review Hourly (2 hr. minimum)’ to accurately reflect the service offered.  ‘Condominium Conversion’ was switched to a deposit fee.  The ‘Garage Conversions / Minor ADR (120 s-f. or less)’ was renamed the ‘Garage Conversions / Minor ADR (400 s-f. or less)’ to accurately reflect the service offered.  The ‘Permanent Sign Program’ was renamed ‘Permanent Sign’.  The ‘1 Year Approval Renewal’ was renamed the ‘Major TUP Annual Renewal’ to accurately reflect the service offered.

Based on prior year’s workload, Planning services generate a surplus of approximately $60,000, with an overall cost recovery rate of 129%. The results indicate a need to rebalance specific fees to better reflect actual staff effort and maintain cost equity across applicants.

The detailed proposed fee adjustments for the Planning Division are provided in Attachment 3 (Table 20, page 34).

Rent Stabilization:

The Rent Stabilization Program is administered by the Community and Economic Development Department and is responsible for implementing and enforcing the City’s rent stabilization and tenant protection ordinances. Key services include registration and tracking of rental units, processing petitions and appeals, investigating violations, conducting public outreach, and providing staff support to the Rent Stabilization Board.

The fee study evaluated the full cost of administering the Rent Stabilization Program, incorporating direct labor costs, division-specific expenses, and Citywide overhead. The analysis also considered the complexity and legal obligations associated with administering a regulatory program that affects a significant portion of the City’s rental housing stock. The fees 510
Public Hearing 4.3
under this section are governed by Ordinance No. 330 and Chapter 14.04 of the Municipal Code, and therefore, they are subject to a specific approval process.

As shown in Attachment 3 (Table 23, page 39), the study found that current fees recover only 63% of total costs. The largest driver of under-recovery is the program’s share of administrative and overhead costs, which had not been fully accounted for in previous calculations. The study also notes that some functions, such as legal support, outreach, and hearings, have expanded in scope, further increasing program costs.

Based on prior year workload, the Rent Stabilization Program generates approximately $549,900 in revenue compared to a total cost of $867,150, resulting in a shortfall of $317,250 and a cost recovery rate of 63%. The fee study supports reevaluating fee levels to reflect the true cost of program administration, while balancing affordability and equity considerations for both landlords and tenants.

The detailed Rent Stabilization fee schedule, showing the full cost, current fee, and proposed updates, is provided in Attachment 3 (Table 23, page 39).

Housing:

The Housing Division within the Community and Economic Development Department, manages programs related to affordable housing preservation, tenant protections, and housing policy implementation. Fee-related services include the administration of loan agreements, monitoring of affordability covenants, and other compliance duties. All of the fees administered by the Housing Division are newly proposed.

The study assessed the cost of these services using staff labor, legal review, program management, and indirect cost allocations. These fees support the City’s efforts to maintain affordable housing and ensure ongoing compliance with funding conditions.

New Fees: Staff proposed new housing fees related to inclusionary housing as part of City’s municipal code chapter 18.37 which allows the City to charge fees related to inclusionary housing requirements, as long as there is a fee schedule to support these fees. Staff also proposed new housing fees related to below market rate (BMR) affordable housing compliance as well as rent registry program. The following table details the fee name and total cost associated with each service offered.

Community Services:

The Community Services Division within the City Manager’s Office oversees recreational programming and facility use, including park reservations, pavilion rentals, and community events. Its responsibilities are primarily service-oriented and support quality of life for East Palo Alto residents through access to public spaces and community programming.

The fee study evaluated the full cost of services provided by Community Services by incorporating direct staff time, materials, and applicable overhead using Citywide overhead.

Services reviewed included rental and use of indoor and outdoor spaces, permits for community events, and related administrative functions.

As shown in Attachment 3 (Table 13, page 20), the analysis found that most Community Services fees are significantly under-recovering their costs. In particular, fees related to facility rentals and community events fall well below the actual cost of service, resulting in substantial General Fund subsidies.

Based on prior year workload, Community Services generates approximately $43,676 in annual fee revenue compared to a total cost of $131,085, resulting in a deficit of $87,409 and a cost recovery rate of just 33%. The fee study recommends evaluating the reasonableness and 512
Public Hearing 4.3
equity of specific fee increases, particularly for services heavily used by residents and community organizations.

The studied fee schedule for Community Services, including cost comparisons and detailed calculations, is presented in Attachment 3 (Table 13, page 20). However, staff recommend General Fund subsidies for certain fees—particularly for services accessed by vulnerable or lower-income residents—to ensure they remain reasonable, accessible, and aligned with neighboring jurisdictions, thereby reducing the risk of non-compliance or unpermitted activities due to cost barriers.

Engineering:

The Engineering Division within the Public Works Department oversees the review and inspection of public infrastructure improvements associated with private development. This includes permits for work in the public right-of-way, grading and encroachment permits, construction inspections, and utility coordination. The Division ensures that all improvements comply with City standards and do not adversely affect public infrastructure.

The fee study assessed the full cost of engineering services, including direct staff time, contract support, and overhead allocations from Citywide overhead. Services analyzed include excavation permits, grading plan review, stormwater inspections, and final map processing, among others.

New Fees: Staff proposed the addition of the following fees as they highlight services already offered but not codified on the fee schedule:
 Administration and Coordination of Water Meter
 Hauling
 Parking Restriction in the Right of Way
 Staff Augmentation / Technical Review
 Address Assignment (transferred from Planning Division) Eliminated Fees: Staff proposed eliminating the following fees, as these services are no longer offered by City staff, covered under other fees, or are now offered by other departments within the City:
 Job Card Replacement
 Design Review – Administrative
 Architectural Supervision
 General Plan Amendment
 Zone Change / Text Amendment
 Tree Removal Permit
 Zoning Relief
 Initial Study
 EIR
 Mitigation Monitoring
 Encroachment Permit – Fence
513
Public Hearing 4.3
As shown in Attachment 3 (Table 15, page 24), the study found that Engineering services are generally under-recovering their full costs. Several fees—particularly those for grading and utility inspections—do not fully reflect the time and resources needed for proper review and compliance monitoring. In contrast, a small number of fees slightly exceed actual costs, but these are exceptions.

Based on prior year workload, the Engineering Division generates approximately $103,173 in annual fee revenue compared to a total annual projected cost of $122,927, resulting in an annual shortfall of $19,754 and a cost recovery rate of 84%. The study recommends targeted fee adjustments to better align charges with actual service costs and reduce reliance on General Fund support.

The full list of proposed Engineering Division fees, cost calculations, and recovery levels is detailed in Attachment 3 (Table 15, page 24).

EPASD:

The East Palo Alto Sanitary District (EPASD), now governed as a subsidiary district of the City since October 1, 2024, is responsible for providing wastewater collection services within its service area and overseen by the Public Works Department. Fee-related activities include sewer connection permits, capacity charges, and other regulatory services associated with new development.

The fee study assessed the full cost of EPASD's fee-supported services, using direct labor estimates, contractual support, and the City's Cost Allocation Plan to determine appropriate overhead. This was the first time EPASD was included in the City's cost studies since the governance transition, ensuring consistency and equity with other City departments and divisions.

As shown in Attachment 3 (Table 25, page 41), the study found nearly all the fees administered by the Sanitary District show an under-recovery for the associated costs. The largest under-recovery is for a ‘Lateral’ at $792. The smallest undercharges are for Permit Application (T1, T2, T3) Category at $49. The study provides an updated framework to align EPASD’s fees with the true cost of service delivery.

The detailed fee schedule for EPASD is provided in Attachment 3 (Table 25, page 41).

Environmental Services:

The Environmental Services Division, under the Public Works Department, oversees compliance with state and local environmental regulations, including stormwater management, waste discharge, and inspection programs related to new development and construction. 514
Public Hearing 4.3
The fee study evaluated the cost of providing these regulatory services by assessing staff time, compliance monitoring activities, and overhead. These services are important for ensuring compliance with environmental protection mandates.

Eliminated Fees: Staff proposed eliminating the following fees as these services are no longer offered by City staff, covered under other fees, or are now offered by other departments within the City:
 Grading Inspection for Construction BMPs
 Support to Planning Fees
 Single Family
 Support to Building Fees
 Stormwater Design Review
As shown in Attachment 3 (Table 17, page 27), many environmental-related fees fall below the full cost of delivery. The study recommends aligning fees more closely with actual costs, especially where there is a clear nexus between the regulated activity and City staff effort.

Police:

The Police Department provides services related to public safety, records processing, special event staffing, and vehicle releases. These services often generate requests for records, background checks, or staff time at community events, some of which are recoverable through user fees.

The fee study evaluated the full cost of services by incorporating staff labor, administrative support, and overhead based on the Cost Allocation Plan. The analysis included common services such as fingerprinting, report copying, and police presence at events.

Eliminated Fees: Staff proposed eliminating the ‘Redaction Services - Body Worn Camera Video (City Staff)’ as this service is no longer offered and is covered through the contractor category.

New Fees: Staff proposed the addition of the following fees as they highlight services already offered but not codified on the fee schedule:
 Permit Review - Private Security Company - CSO Review  Assistance to Planning Division Security Plan Review for New Business Expanded Fees: Due to large variability in how the fees are administered, staff proposed expanding ‘Officer Support of City Special Events’ to include multiple classifications.

As shown in Attachment 3 (Table 22, page 37), most police-related fees are under-recovering their costs, although a few recover the full cost. The study recommends modest adjustments to better align fees with actual service delivery costs while considering the accessibility of essential public safety services.
515
Public Hearing 4.3
Summary Of Legal Restrictions And Policy Considerations:

Once the full cost of providing City services is determined, the next step is for the City Council to finalize the appropriate fee levels—up to, but not exceeding, the actual cost of service, in accordance with legal requirements. This is a policy-level decision that involves weighing the City’s fiscal sustainability goals against community needs and values.

In setting fees, one key consideration is who benefits from the service. If a service provides a direct, individual benefit—such as a permit, inspection, or rental—full cost recovery is generally appropriate. Conversely, services that deliver broader community or shared benefits may justify a partial subsidy funded through the General Fund. The Council may also take into account socioeconomic impacts, particularly for services accessed by vulnerable or lowerincome residents, and review market comparability to ensure the City’s fees remain reasonable in relation to neighboring jurisdictions. These factors can be complex and may require thoughtful policy discussion.

The User and Regulatory Fee Study provides a detailed, data-driven foundation to support fees that are fair, transparent, and legally defensible. As part of this process, City staff have recommended fee increases where current charges fall short of actual costs, and reductions where fees exceed cost, to ensure compliance with state law.

While market comparisons can offer helpful context, they should be used as a supplementary tool, not the primary basis for fee-setting. Ultimately, fees should reflect the actual cost of services, promote fiscal responsibility, and support equitable access to City programs and resources.

Subsidized Fees:

Staff proposes less than full cost recovery for the following fees related to Community Services:
516
Public Hearing 4.3
The recommended subsidies apply exclusively to fees charged to East Palo Alto residents and local nonprofit organizations. While all subsidized fees proposed in this staff report represent increases over current charges, they remain below the average levels observed in comparable jurisdictions, as shown in Attachment 3 (Appendix – Comparative Survey, page 47). Based on historical usage data, the estimated annual General Fund subsidy for these fees is approximately $20,000.

These subsidies are intended to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation, particularly for lower-income residents, and to encourage compliance with City policies—such as event permitting—by making fees reasonable and accessible. Maintaining equitable access to community services while discouraging unpermitted activities supports both the City's fiscal goals and its broader community engagement objectives.

Annual Fee Adjustments:

In addition to amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule based on the updated User and Regulatory Fee Study, staff also recommends implementing annual inflationary adjustments to applicable fees to maintain cost recovery between full studies. For user and regulatory fees, staff proposes using the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI)—specifically for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward region or a comparable index reflective of the City’s cost environment—subject to City Council review and approval. A CPI-based adjustment is a widely 517
Public Hearing 4.3
accepted practice that allows the City to account for increases in labor, materials, and operating costs without the need for a full-scale fee study each year. This mechanism will help the City sustain its cost recovery levels and minimize reliance on General Fund subsidies for fee-supported services.

By contrast, annual inflationary adjustments to development impact fees are governed by Municipal Code Section 13.28.100. That section authorizes annual adjustments “by a percentage equal to the change in the Construction Cost Index (CCI) as most recently published by the Engineering News Record (ENR)”.

Fiscal Impact
If all proposed fee modifications are adopted, General Fund revenues are projected to increase by approximately $529K annually, depending on actual service volumes. These estimates reflect full implementation of the updated User and Regulatory Fee Study recommendations, which aim to bring fees closer to the actual cost of service delivery.

To the extent the City does not recover the full cost for these services, the General Fund will subsidize the difference, reducing tax revenues available for broader community services. By aligning fees with the Cost Allocation Plan and cost recovery goals, the City can improve fiscal sustainability and ensure equitable support for both individual and community-wide services.

The Matrix Consulting Group has prepared this Full Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) for the City of East Palo Alto, CA. The report, which follows, presents a summary of the comprehensive analysis undertaken to identify the appropriate distribution of Citywide administrative and support costs to all City operating departments and programs.

METHODOLOGY
The primary objective of a CAP is to spread costs from central support departments, generally called “Central Service Departments,” to those departments, cost centers, and/or funds that receive services in support of conducting their operations. In doing so, an organization can both better understand its full cost of providing specific services to the community and generate organizational awareness regarding indirect (overhead) costs associated with operations. This plan was compiled in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and is based on many of the methods of indirect cost allocation defined by the federal Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Title 2 CFR 200.

These principles can be summarized in the following points:
• Necessary and reasonable: costs included for allocation should be necessary to the purpose of a department and the services it provides.

Expenditures should be in alignment with reasonable costs associated with services, not arbitrarily or intentionally inflated. • Determined by allocation “bases” that relate to benefit received: allocation metrics used to allocate costs should have a nexus to the service being provided and generally reflect associated service levels.

In addition, OMB guidelines outline a method for allocating indirect costs called the double-step down allocation method, which utilizes two “steps” or “passes” to fully allocate costs. The double-step down procedure is reflected in this plan and ensures that the benefit of services between Central Service support departments are recognized first, before final allocations to receivers of services are made. For example:
• First Step: Central Service department expenditures are allocated to other Central Service departments and to Receiving departments. • Second Step: Distributes Central Service department expenses and first step allocations to Receiving departments only.

It should be noted that there are two types of cost allocation plans: Full Cost and OMB Compliant. A Full Cost Allocation Plan is generally concerned with determining indirect costs associated with non-general fund sources, as well as funds and departments that charge fees for service. For example, a Full Cost Allocation Plan could be used to justify transfers from non-general fund sources or included in a cost-ofservice study to account for indirect overhead. The second form of Cost Allocation Plan is known as an OMB Compliant Plan. An OMB Compliant Plan is generally concerned with the use of the resulting cost allocations to develop, submit, and secure approval for claims. For

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FISCAL YEAR 2025 FULL COST ALLOCATION PLAN MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP | 1 526
example, OMB Compliant allocations could be used to reimburse indirect costs associated with the administration of State and/or Federal grants. An OMB Compliant Plan is far more sensitive in terms of recovering administrative costs within the framework of the specific federal requirements outlined by OMB. This plan is a Full Cost Allocation Plan.

PROJECT STEPS
The project team, along with City staff, went through the following steps to develop this CAP:
• Meet with the City of East Palo Alto’s administrative staff to customize the structure of the plan • Identify / classify Central Service support departments • Determine the major services or “functions” provided by each Central Service support department • Establish the optimal allocation basis for each function • Identify the data source and collect allocation basis data and statistics • Populate the analytical model and calculate results
• Employ quality control processes for accurate results • Review results with the City
• Revise and finalize
• Discuss implementation strategies
• Document and communicate results
The results of this effort are detailed in the following report.

SUMMARY
In summary, key project details for the cost plan are as follows:
• Cost figures are based on fiscal year 2024-2025 budgeted expenditures • The allocation methodology is Full Cost, not OMB Title 2 CFR 200 Compliant • The results presented in this plan were derived using a double “step-down” allocation process FISCAL YEAR 2025 FULL COST ALLOCATION PLAN MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP | 2 527
The following report provides a well-documented and defensible basis for the team’s indirect overhead costs, including the full detail regarding how cost centers were derived, the allocation bases used to allocate associated costs, and a summary schedule that illustrates the total indirect costs associated with Receiving departments and funds.

The final documentation of a CAP can be hundreds of pages in length. The following provides a guide for navigating and reviewing the plan:
• Table of Contents: All summary and detail allocation schedules can be referenced here and appear in the same order as shown. • Summary of Overhead Allocations: Lists Central Service departments on one axis and Receiving departments on the other. Shows how much was allocated from each Central Service department to each Receiving department. Summarizes unallocated and direct billed entries and produces a grand total for each axis.
• Summary of Functions and Allocation Bases: Recaps the source and basis for each function of each Central Service department. For example, if the Building Maintenance function of the Facilities Management Department allocates by square footage, then the basis for the allocation of that function shown on this schedule would be square footage, and the source would potentially be blueprints of the building or square footage records.
• Central Service Departments: Lists all Central Service departments, including their fund, department, and/or division number, along with expenditure totals per department, as well as a subtotal of disallowed costs and a total of all expenditures being allocated through the plan.
• Grantee Departments: Lists all Receiving departments, including their fund, department, and/or division number. • Detail Reports: Each Central Service department in the plan has one set of reports. The reports show an aggregate picture of the department’s expenses, a function-by-function breakdown of the expenses, each function’s allocation, and an allocation summary. Each set of Detail Reports contains:
– Narrative: This is a summary of the Central Service department, including a brief description of the activities performed, the major functions and services provided, and how costs associated with each function are allocated to Receiving departments, or those departments and programs within the organization that benefit from services. – Costs to Be Allocated: This is a summary of the costs being allocated for the identified Central Service department. This worksheet shows the total expenditures for the Central Service department, along with the incoming allocations from all other Central Service departments.
– Departmental Expense Detail: This worksheet details the Central Service’s direct expenditures, provides a recap of the incoming expenses, and arrives at a total this department encumbers on each pass of allocations. This worksheet also adds in incoming allocations and breaks total costs down by function. It also demonstrates how the G&A (General and Administrative)

READING THE PLAN
FISCAL YEAR 2025 FULL COST ALLOCATION PLAN MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP | 4 529
column is reallocated and subtotals for each pass of the allocations. Here, unallocated functions are dropped from the Plan’s calculations.
– Allocation Detail: For each allocable function, this report shows the Receiving departments its costs are allocated to and the amount allocated per pass.
– Allocation Summary: This worksheet shows the total costs being allocated to Receiving departments by function.

The Summary of Overhead Allocations and the Summary of Functions and Allocation Bases are the optimal documents for beginning review of the Cost Allocation Plan. The Summary of Overhead Allocations provides a summary of results and “bottom-line” picture of the analysis.

The reviewer may then refer to the Detail Reports for more information on how allocations are derived and shown on the Summary of Overhead Allocations. The Summary of Functions and Allocation Bases provides a matrix detailing the allocation methodology applied to each Central Service department along with the source of the data.

The Finance Department is responsible for the oversight of the Finance department and associated divisions. This division also assists with revenue collection. Finance costs are allocated to Receiving Departments as follows:
• Accounting and Financial Reporting – represents the support associated with processing accounting transactions (accounts receivable, accounts payable, journal entries, etc.) as well as developing annual financial reports. These costs are allocated based on the number of Transactions.
• Payroll – represents the support associated with processing payroll for all city employees. These costs are allocated based on the full-time equivalents per fund, department, and division.
• Budget – represents the support associated with overseeing the budget process and working with city departments to monitor the budget throughout the year. These costs are allocated to the non-personnel budgeted expenditures. • Treasury – represents the support associated with managing the city’s investments. These costs are allocated equally to all departments. • EPASD Accounting – represents the support associated with providing financial support such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, financial reporting, and journal entry related support to the East Palo Alto Sanitation District. These costs are allocated directly to East Palo Alto Sanitation District.

The chart on the following page illustrates the functions and measures used to allocate Finance costs. The top tier shows the Central Service department, the second tier shows the functions developed, and the third tier shows the measures used to allocate costs citywide. The pages following the chart provide an aggregate picture of the department’s expenses, a function-by-function breakdown of expenses, each function’s allocation, and an allocation summary.

8 PUBLIC WORKS - MAINTENANCE
The Public Works Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining the city’s parks, public areas, medians, fleet, landscaping, streets, sidewalks, and other city facilities like storm drain facilities. They also manage a number of the city’s municipal service contracts. Public Works-Maintenance costs are allocated to Receiving Departments as follows:
• Facility Maintenance – represents the costs associated with maintaining city owned facilities. These costs are allocated based on the number of work orders per facility per occupant.
• General Citywide Maintenance – represents the costs associated with maintenance-related services to the city’s right of way, median, and various other city-owned properties. These costs have not been allocated as they do not support city funds and departments.

The chart on the following page illustrates the functions and measures used to allocate Public Works - Maintenance costs. The top tier shows the Central Service department, the second tier shows the functions developed, and the third tier shows the measures used to allocate costs citywide. The pages following the chart provide an aggregate picture of the department’s expenses, a function-by-function breakdown of expenses, each function’s allocation, and an allocation summary.

9 NON-DEPARTMENTAL
Non-departmental is typically a catch all department that captures any general fund expenses that cannot be identified to a specific department. Non-departmental costs are allocated as follows:
• City Hall Leases – represents expenditures associated with leasing city hall. These costs are allocated based on the Full-time Equivalent (FTE) per City Hall dept.
• Citywide Support – represents the costs associated with citywide communications, training, and dues. These costs are allocated based on budget.
• Transfers, JPA Costs, & Overhead Allocation – represents the costs associated with budget transfers, Joint Powers Authority Costs, & overhead allocations. These costs have not been allocated as they are not in relation to a specific city department.

The chart on the following page illustrates the functions and measures used to allocate Non-Departmental costs. The top tier shows the Central Service department, the second tier shows the functions developed, and the third tier shows the measures used to allocate costs citywide. The pages following the chart provide an aggregate picture of the department’s expenses, a function-by-function breakdown of expenses, each function’s allocation, and an allocation summary.

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 1
The report, which follows, presents the results of the Comprehensive User Fee study conducted by Matrix Consulting Group for the City of East Palo Alto, California.

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
The City of East Palo Alto last conducted a formal fee study in 2020. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and determine the full cost (direct and indirect) of providing a variety of city services. The Matrix Consulting Group analyzed the cost-of-service relationships that exist between fees for service activities in the following areas: Building, Code Enforcement, Community Services, Engineering, Environmental Services, Finance, Housing, Planning, Police, Rent Stabilization, and East Palo Alto Sanitation District. The results of this study provide a tool for understanding current service levels and the cost for those services.

GENERAL PROJECT APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
The methodology employed by Matrix Consulting Group is a widely accepted “bottom up” approach to cost analysis, where time spent per unit of fee activity is determined for each position within a Department or Program. Once time spent for a fee activity is determined, all applicable City costs are then considered in the calculation of the “full” cost of providing each service. The following table provides an overview of types of costs applied in establishing the “full” cost of services provided by the City:

TABLE 1: OVERVIEW OF COST COMPONENTS
Cost Component Description
Direct Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budgeted salaries, benefits, and allowable expenditures.

Indirect Division, departmental, clerical, and Citywide support.

Together, the cost components in the table above comprise the calculation of the total “full” cost of providing a service, regardless of whether a fee for that service is charged.

The work accomplished by Matrix Consulting Group in the analysis of the proposed fees for service involved the following steps:
• Department / Program Staff Interviews: The project team interviewed department / program staff regarding their needs for clarification to the structure of existing fee items or for addition of new fee items.

INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
639

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 2
• Data Collection: Data was collected for each permit / service, including time estimates. In addition, all budgeted costs and staffing levels for Fiscal Year 2024-25 were entered into Matrix Consulting Group’s analytical software model.
• Cost Analysis: The full cost of providing each service included in the analysis was established. • Review and Approval of Results with City Staff: Department management has reviewed and approved these documented results.

A more detailed description of user fee methodology and legal and policy considerations are provided in subsequent chapters of this report.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
When comparing fee-related revenue with the calculated total annual cost, the City is under-recovering its costs by approximately $547,000 or recovering 86% of its costs. The following table shows the revenue collected, the total annual cost, the resulting difference, and the resulting cost recovery percentage by major division.

TABLE 2: ANNUAL COST RECOVERY ANALYSIS
Division
Fee-Related
Revenue Fee-Related Cost Difference
Cost
Recovery %
Building $2,300,000 $2,485,326 ($185,326) 93%
Community Services $43,676 $131,085 ($87,409) 33%
Engineering $120,501 $140,284 ($19,783) 86%
Planning $265,755 $202,806 $62,949 131%
Rent Stabilization $549,900 $867,150 ($317,250) 63%
Total $3,279,832 $3,826,651 ($546,819) 86%
The largest deficit is in relation to Rent Stabilization at $317,000, which is in relation to incorporating overhead associated with administering the rent stabilization program. The high level of cost recovery is anticipated for the City as the City had recently completed a fee study in 2020 and has conducted annual fee increases.

The detailed documentation of this study will show an over-collection for some fees (on a per unit basis) and an undercharge for most others. The results of this analysis will provide the Department and the City with guidance on how to right-size their fees to ensure that each service unit is set at an amount that does not exceed the full cost of providing that service. The display of the cost recovery figures shown in this report are meant to provide a basis for policy development discussions among City Councilmembers and City staff and do not represent a recommendation for where or how the City Council should act. The setting of the “rate” or “price” for services, whether at full cost recovery or lower, is a policy decision to be made only by the City Council with input from City staff and the community. 640

CONSIDERATIONS FOR COST RECOVERY POLICY AND UPDATES
The Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the City use the information contained in this report to discuss, adopt, and implement a formal Cost Recovery Policy, including a mechanism for the annual update of fees for service.

ADOPT A FORMAL COST RECOVERY POLICY
The Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) best practices for Establishing Government Charges and Fees states that governmental entities should adopt formal policies regarding charges and fees which include the jurisdiction’s intention to recover the full cost or partial costs of providing services, sets forth circumstances under which the jurisdiction might set a charge for fee at less than or more than 100% of full cost, and outlines the considerations that might influence the jurisdiction’s pricing decision.

The Matrix Consulting Group strongly recommends that the Council adopt a formalized, individual cost recovery policy for each service area included in this Study. Whenever a cost recovery policy is established at less than 100% of the full cost of providing services, a known gap in funding is recognized and may then potentially be recovered through other revenue sources. The Matrix Consulting Group considers a formalized cost recovery policy for various fees for service an industry Best Management Practice.

ADOPT AN ANNUAL FEE UPDATE / INCREASE MECHANISM
GFOA best practices for Establishing Government Charges and Fees states that governmental entities should review, and update charges and fees periodically based on factors such as the impact of inflation, other cost increases, adequacy of cost recovery, use of services, and the competitiveness of current rates to avoid large infrequent fee increases.

The purpose of a comprehensive update is to completely revisit the analytical structure, service level estimates and assumptions, and to account for any major shifts in cost components or organizational structures that have occurred since the City’s previous analysis. It’s recommended the City continue the practice of conducting comprehensive analyses every five to seven years as this practice captures any changes to organizational structure, processes, as well as any new service areas.

In between comprehensive updates, the City should continue to utilize published industry economic factors such as Consumer Price Index (CPI) or other regional factors to update the cost calculations established in the Study on an annual basis.

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 4
This section of the report is intended to provide an overview of the legal rules and regulations that govern what is considered a fee for service, how those fees can be calculated, general principles, philosophies, and general policy considerations for setting fees for service.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK
A “user fee” is a charge for service provided by a governmental agency to a public citizen or group.

California has several Government Codes and Propositions that regulate fees for service, with the purpose of ensuring that fees are reasonable and justified. The most prominent and relevant of these includes:
• Proposition 26: Passed in 2010, specifically outlined the difference between a fee and a tax and dictates that fees must be directly related to a service and cannot exceed the reasonable cost of that service.
• Government Code § 50076: clarifies that fees for service costs are not special taxes and do not need voter approval.
• Government Code § 65104: gives local governments the authority to charge planning and zoning fees to recover processing costs.

When determining fees for service it is important to ensure there is a direct benefit – the service is provided directly to the payer, and that it is cost based, and does not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE
While Proposition 26 defines what constitutes a user fee, and how those fees can be determined, it also provides a key exception for fees charged for facility or property rentals. This exception outlines that fees for use of government property (e.g., renting public buildings, parks, or event spaces) are voluntary transactions. Therefore, governments can charge market-based rental fees for these services.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND PHILOSOPHIES REGARDING USER FEES Local governments are providers of many types of general services to their communities. While all services provided by local government are beneficial to constituents, some services can be classified as globally beneficial to all citizens, while others provide more of a direct benefit to a specific group or individual. The following table provides examples of services provided by local government within a continuum of the degree of community benefit received:

LEGAL FRAMEWORK
642

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 5
TABLE 3: SERVICES IN RELATION TO BENEFIT RECEIVED
Funding for local government is obtained from myriad revenue sources such as taxes, fines, grants, special charges, user fees, etc. In recent years, alternative tax revenues, which typically offset subsidies for services provided to the community, have become increasingly limited. These limitations have caused increased attention on user fee activities as a revenue source that can offset costs otherwise subsidized (usually) by the general fund. In Table 3, services in the “global community benefit” section tend to be funded primarily through voter-approved tax revenues. In the middle of the table, one typically finds a mixture of taxes, user fees, and other funding sources. Finally, in the “individual / group benefit” section of the table are the services provided by local government that are typically funded almost entirely by user fee revenue.

The following are two central concepts regarding the establishment of user fees:
v Fees should be assessed according to the degree of individual or private benefit gained from services. For example, the processing and approval of a land use or building permit will generally result in monetary gain to the applicant, whereas Police services and Fire Suppression are examples of services that are essential to the safety of the community at large. v A profit-making objective should not be included in the assessment of user fees. In fact, California laws require that the charges for service be in direct proportion to the costs associated with providing those services. Once a charge for service is assessed at a level higher than the actual cost of providing a service, the term “user fee” no longer applies. The charge then becomes a tax subject to voter approval.

Therefore, it is commonly accepted that user fees are established at a level that will recover up to, and not more than, the cost of providing a particular service.

GENERAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING USER FEES
Undoubtedly, there are programs, circumstances, and services that justify a subsidy from a tax-based or alternative revenue source. However, it is essential that jurisdictions prioritize the use of revenue sources for the provision of services based on the continuum of benefit received. "Global" Community Benefit

MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 6
Within the services that are typically funded by user fees, the Matrix Consulting Group recognizes several reasons why City staff or City Council may not advocate the full cost recovery of services. The following factors are key policy considerations in setting fees at less than 100 percent of cost recovery:
• Limitations posed by an external agency. The State or an outside agency will occasionally set a maximum, minimum, or limit on the jurisdiction’s ability to charge a fee. Examples includes time spent copying and retrieving public documents and / or transportation permits. • Encouragement of desired behaviors. Keeping fees for certain services below full cost recovery may provide better compliance from the community. For example, if the cost of a permit for changing a water heater in residential home is higher than the cost of the water heater itself, many citizens will avoid pulling the permit.
• Benefit received by user of the service and the community at large is mutual. Many services that directly benefit a group or individual equally benefit the community. Examples include Planning Design Review, historical dedications, and certain types of special events.

The Matrix Consulting Group recognizes the need for policies that intentionally subsidize certain activities. The primary goals of a User Fee Study are to provide a fair and equitable basis for determining the costs of providing services and ensure that the City complies with State law.

SUMMARY OF LEGAL RESTRICTIONS AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS Once the full cost of providing services is known, the next step is to determine the “rate” or “price” for services at a level which is up to, and not more than, the full cost amount. The City Council is responsible for this decision, which often becomes a question of balancing service levels and funding sources. The placement of a service or activity within the continuum of benefit received may require extensive discussion and at times fall into a “grey area.” However, with the resulting cost of services information from a User Fee Study, the City Council can be assured that the adopted fee for service is reasonable, fair, and legal. Overall, city staff has reviewed all fees for service in this analysis and where subsidies were identified, they recommended increases where appropriate to reduce the deficit; and where overrecoveries were identified, reduced the fee to comply with the law. 644

MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 7
The Matrix Consulting Group utilizes a cost allocation methodology commonly known and accepted as the “bottom-up” approach to establishing User Fees. The term means that several cost components are calculated for each fee or service. These components then build upon each other to comprise the total cost for providing the service. The following chart describes the components of a full cost calculation:

The following subsections discuss the two components of the basis of the full cost.

TIME ESTIMATION
Utilization of time estimates is a reasonable and defensible approach, especially since experienced staff members who understand service levels and processes unique to the City developed these estimates.

The project team worked closely with City staff in developing time estimates with the following criteria:
• Estimates are representative of average times for providing services. Extremely difficult or abnormally simple projects are not factored in the analysis.
• Estimates reflect the time associated with the position or positions that typically perform a service. • Estimates are reviewed by the project team for “reasonableness” against their experience with other agencies.
• Estimates were not based on time in motion studies, as they are not practical for the scope of services and time frame for this project.
• Estimates match the current or proposed staffing levels to ensure there is no over-allocation of staff resources to fee and non-fee related activities.

The Matrix Consulting Group agrees that while the use of time estimates is not perfect, it is the best alternative available for setting a standard level of service on which to base a jurisdiction’s fees for service and meets the requirements of California law.

The alternative to time estimating is actual time tracking, often referred to billing on a “time and materials” basis. Except in the case of anomalous or very large and complex projects, Matrix Consulting Group believes this approach to not be cost effective or reasonable for the following reasons:

TIME ASSUMPTION

FULLY BURDENED
HOURLY RATE Total Cost

USER FEE STUDY METHODOLOGY
645

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 8
• Accuracy in time tracking is compromised by the additional administrative burden required to track, bill, and collect for services in this manner.
• Additional costs are associated with administrative staff’s billing, refunding, and monitoring deposit accounts.
• Customers often prefer to know the fees for services in advance of applying for permits or participating in programs.
• Departments can better predict revenue streams and staff needs using standardized time estimates and anticipated permit volumes.

Situations arise where the size and complexity of a given project warrants time tracking and billing on a “time and materials” basis. The Matrix Consulting Group has recommended taking a deposit and charging Actual Costs for such fees as appropriate and itemized within the current fee schedule.

FULLY BURDENED HOURLY RATES
The fully burdened hourly rates calculated through this study include the following components:
• Salaries: FY24-25 Budgeted salaries were utilized and consolidated at the positional level. • Benefits: FY24-25 Budgeted benefits were utilized and consolidated at the positional level. • Productive Hours: Based on East Palo Altos’ current personnel system rules, working or productive hours were calculated. This means taking the starting total working hours and reducing the hours by vacation, sick, holidays, trainings, and administrative leave based on each bargaining unit • Departmental / Divisional Overhead: This captures any internal service charges or operating supply costs such as vehicles, supplies, etc. Additionally, this component includes the cost associated with support from Director, Administrative and Analytical staff that do not directly work on fees. • Citywide Overhead: This captures support provided by the City Council, City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney, Finance, and Human Resources. The costs are based on the Citywide Cost Allocation Plan (provided under separate cover).

Together these components result in the generation of fully burdened hourly rates by position / classification and / or department / division. These rates were multiplied against the time assumptions to calculate the full cost of services noted in this report. 646

MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 9
The motivation behind a cost of services (User Fee) analysis is for City Council and Departmental staff to maintain services at a level that is both accepted and effective for the community and to maintain control over the policy and management of these services.

It should be noted that the results presented in this report are not a precise measurement. In general, a cost-of-service analysis takes a “snapshot in time,” where a fiscal year of financial and operational information is utilized. Changes to the structure of fee names, along with the use of time estimates, allow only for a reasonable projection of subsidies and revenue. Consequently, City Council and Department staff should rely conservatively upon these estimates to gauge the impact of implementation going forward.

Discussion of results in the following chapters is intended as a summary of extensive and voluminous cost allocation documentation produced during the Study. Each chapter will include detailed cost calculation results for each fee including the following:
• Modifications: discussions regarding any proposed revisions to the current fee schedule, including elimination or addition of fees.
• “Per Unit” Results: comparison of the full cost of providing each unit of service to the current fee for each unit of service (where applicable).
• Annualized Results: utilizing volume of activity estimates annual subsidies and revenue impacts were projected.

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

The Building Services Division is part of the Community and Economic Development Department. The Building Division ensures that new developments are in compliance with the California Building codes and regulations, by providing customer assistance to residents, property owners, contracts, professions, etc. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications, detailed per unit results, and annual revenue impacts for the fee-related services provided by the Building Division.

FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATIONS
In discussions with City staff, the following modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule:
• Eliminated Fees: Staff proposed eliminating fees associated with Building’s review of Planning or Engineering Services, as those are captured on their respective fee schedules. It was also discussed to eliminate the ‘Processing Fee’ as that is captured in the base permit fees. • New Fees: Staff proposed the addition of the following fees, to capture services already provided but not codified:
o ‘Processing Fee – MEP’
o ‘Reproduction of Plans’
o ‘ADU Building Permit Resource Center Fee’
• Condensed Fees: Staff proposed the removal of the per kw fee for solar residential projects to better capture the level of effort associated with solar residential. • Expanded Fees: Due to variability in how the fees are administered, staff proposed expanding the following fee categories into separate fee categories:
o Single Family Dwelling Remodels (No modifications to walls) into ‘kitchen’ and ‘bathroom’ remodels.
o Receptacles and Outlets into ‘1-20 devices’ and ‘Each additional 20 devices’ o Residential appliances into ‘1-5 Devices’ and ‘Each additional 5 devices’ o Appeals into ‘Appeal to Building Official’ and ‘Appeal to City Council’ • Valuation-Based Fees: The valuation structure was expanded to capture higher dollar valuation projects, both for single-family residential and multi-family / commercial projects.

The modifications noted ensure that the proposed fee schedule more accurately reflects the services being provided by Building staff.

DETAILED RESULTS
The Building Division collects fees for Building Plan Check and Inspection, Flat Rate Permits, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical Permits. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs,

The fees administered by the Building Division have a mix of over and under-recoveries. The largest variances are in the valuation-related fees, which are expected as those fees are reviewed and updated to reflect updated costs as well as staff level and effort associated with activities. As it relates to the MEP fees, the per unit variance is minimal and due to the change in structure from covering up to 3 fixtures to be more standalone-based.

ANNUAL RESULTS
Based on the prior year’s workload information, Building has a deficit of roughly $185,000. The following table shows the revenue at the current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference by major fee category.

Building Services has an annual cost recovery of 93%. The largest under-recovery is in relation to the valuation-based fees, specifically on the lower dollar valuation projects. Right-sizing those fees will help ensure that the City continues to achieve full cost recovery for Building Services. 653

GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE
A common surcharge assessed as part of the Building fee process supports long-range planning. The General Plan Maintenance fee is meant to account for updates to the general plan, zoning ordinance, housing elements, and other long-range planning activities that are part of the larger General Plan. The City already assesses this fee.

The General Plan Maintenance fee is governed by Government Code Section 66014(b) which states that fees “may include the costs reasonably necessary to prepare and revise the plans and policies that a local agency is required to adopt before it can make any necessary findings and recommendations.” This code states that fees can be charged against zoning changes, zoning variances, use permits, building inspections, and filing applications.

Typically, the fee is charged during the building permit phase to ensure any development project that gets to that phase makes enough of an impact to require the need for an update to the Zoning Code or the General Plan. This fee should only be applied to major building permits (i.e., new or remodel / tenant improvements) rather than standalone permits for water heaters or electrical outlets.

The project team divided the estimated cost associated with updating the General Plan and related elements by the years between updates to calculate an annualized cost. In addition to consultant costs, City staff spend time annually working on these activities. The following table breaks out the components that comprise the total annual cost calculation.

TABLE 6: GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE – ANNUAL COSTS
Task Estimated Cost Years Annualized Cost
General Plan Update $2,404,559 15 $160,304
Staff Support $515,307 1 $515,307
Total Annual Cost $675,611
The annual cost to the City for their long-range activities is approximately $676,000. The City currently assesses this fee as a percentage of different planning applications and building projects. However, to streamline the process and make it more consistent with general industry standards, the project team is proposing that the City consider converting the fee to be assessed as a percentage of the building permit fees. The project team used the annual building permit fee revenue as a base to calculate the General Plan Maintenance Fee. The following table shows this calculation.

TABLE 7: GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE CALCULATION
Category Amount
Total Annual Cost $675,974
Base $2,486,326
General Plan Maintenance Fee 27.2%
The calculated General Plan Maintenance Fee is 27.2% of the Building Permit Fee. The following table compares the City’s current fee to its full cost and presents the resulting difference. 654

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 17
TABLE 8: GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE COMPARISON
Current Fee Full Cost Difference

25.3% 27.2% (1.9%)
The City’s calculated full cost is approximately 2% points lower.

As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of a General Plan Maintenance Fee. Like other comparative efforts, the survey below simply shows the fees charged by the jurisdiction and does not include the basis upon which the other jurisdictions calculated or developed their fee. The following table shows the results of this comparative analysis:

TABLE 9: GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE – COMPARATIVE SURVEY Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Belmont 0.75% of Building Valuation
Burlingame 0.2% of Building Valuation
Foster City 0.50% of the Application Value above $500
Menlo Park 3% of All Planning and Building Fees
Millbrae 0.39% of Project Valuation
As the table indicates, the comparative jurisdictions largely charge their General Plan Maintenance Fees based on valuation; as a result, their fees are not directly comparable to the City of East Palo Alto’s fee.

Menlo Park is the only jurisdiction that assesses their fee as a percentage of all Planning and Building fees, rather than only Building fees; because this is also a different basis than EPA’s fee, a direct comparison is not possible.

The City collects and accounts for the General Plan surcharge in a separate account or subaccount, as doing so ensures compliance with funding requirements, enables appropriate allocation of funds to longterm planning and technology-related activities, and mitigates any potential issues with the comingling of funds. The City should continue to implement this best practice.

RAVENSWOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT (RBD) SPECIFIC PLAN MAINTENANCE FEE The City is looking to charge a Specific Plan Maintenance Fee for development projects within the Ravenswood Business District (RBD). In 2013, the RBD Specific Plan was adopted by Council, since then a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) outlined two scenarios which propose net new square footage of development that exceeds initial projections in the 2013 plan.

The project team used the information from the SEIR as well as the City’s most recent nexus study to calculate Specific Plan Maintenance Fee rates. The net new commercial square footage is estimated at 3,998,970. The nexus study provided information regarding the expected units. The nexus study anticipates that there will only be multi-family units totaling 1,600 new units. To arrive at the total square footage for residential, each unit was then multiplied by the average square footage for each unit type.

The table below shows this calculation:

TABLE 10: NET NEW SQUARE FOOTAGE – MULTI-FAMILY & SINGLE-FAMILY Type Average Square Feet1 Net New (Sq. Ft.)

The total net new square footage was divided by the annual specific plan cost to the City for the RBD Specific Plan, resulting in a cost per square foot. The following table shows this calculation.

FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATIONS
In discussions with City staff, staff proposed the addition of ‘Code Enforcement Investigation’ and ‘Recording & Removal of Liens’ to more accurately reflects the services being provided by Code Enforcement staff.

DETAILED RESULTS
The Code Enforcement Division collects fees for Investigations and the Recording & Removal of Liens.

The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Division and Citywide overhead.

Due to the majority of code enforcement’s fees being new, there is no comparison between the current fee and the total cost. The notary fee is set by state so there is no difference there.

ANNUAL REVENUE IMPACT

In discussions with City staff, the following modifications were made to the current fee schedule:
• Eliminated Fees: Staff proposed eliminating ‘Category 1 Events’ as those are covered under general facility and park rentals, and ‘Senior Center’ hourly fees, as those are operated by a non-profit. • New Fees: Staff proposed the addition of the following fees as they highlight services already offered but not codified on the fee schedule:
o ‘Security Guard’
o ‘Non-Profit’ category of building facility rentals
o Equipment rentals such as projectors, TVs, and table covers o ‘YMCA City Room’
• Expanded Fees: Due to variability in how the fees are administered, staff proposed expanding the ‘Community Services’ fee to include an ‘Overtime / Holiday Rate’. • Modified Fees: To clarify the fee schedule, the ‘Category 2 Events’ fee was renamed ‘Community Event’ to better reflect the service offered. Additionally, the ‘Category 3 Events’ fee was renamed ‘Parade/Street Closure’ to better reflect the service offered.

The modifications noted ensure that the proposed fee schedule more accurately reflects the services being provided by Community Services staff.

Nearly all of the fees administered by the Engineering Division are under-recovering for their associated costs. The largest under-recovery is $4,898 for a ‘Base Fee at $100,000’ for Public Improvement Inspections. The smallest undercharge is in the Grading - Plan Review category of ‘> 501 Cubic Yards’ at $29. The only over-recoveries are for the State permits and the after-hours inspections.

ANNUAL REVENUE IMPACT
Based on the prior year’s workload information, Engineering has a deficit of roughly $20,000. The following table shows the revenue at the current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference by major fee category.

TABLE 16: ANNUAL RESULTS – ENGINEERING
Fee Category Revenue at Current Fee Annual Cost Difference Encroachment Permits $103,173 $122,927 ($19,754)
Total $103,173 $122,927 ($19,754)
Engineering has an annual cost recovery of roughly 84%. The largest under-recovery is in relation to the Encroachment Permits, specifically the ‘Utility connections, excavations, potholing’. The per unit deficit for this fee is $166 and it was permitted approximately 88 times resulting in the large deficit amount.

Changing just that one fee can have a large impact on the Division’s revenue. The division should review these results and adjust fees appropriately.

The Housing Division is part of the Community and Economic Development Department. The Housing Division is responsible for overseeing the city’s affordable housing development and economic development programs. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications, detailed per unit results, and annual revenue impacts for the fee-related services provided by the Housing Division.

FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATIONS
The City passed Ordinance No. 425 in 2019 and codified the Inclusionary Housing as part of its Municipal Code Chapter 18.37. Both of these items allow the City to charge fees for Housing, as long as there is a fee schedule to support these fees.

The fees charged by the Planning Division are a mix of under and over-recoveries. The largest underrecovery is $4,166 for ‘Master/Common Sign Program’. The largest over-recovery is in relation to the ‘Tentative Maps’. In discussion with staff, changes in processes and increased efficiencies are resulting in a reduced level of staff effort needed to process these entitlements. For example, final maps are primarily a Public Works / Engineering function, and therefore, the cost has shifted from Planning to Engineering for those services.

ANNUAL REVENUE IMPACT
Based on the prior year’s workload information, Planning has a surplus of roughly $63,000. The following table shows the revenue at the current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference by major fee category.

Total $265,755 $202,806 $62,949
Planning has an annual cost recovery of roughly 131%. The largest over-recovery is in relation to the Subdivision fees, specifically the ‘5-25 lots’ for the Tentative Map. Through this analysis staff worked with the project team to right size fees within this category, ensuring the time to administer these services reflected the current process needed to conduct these reviews. The per unit surplus for this fee is $13,209 and it was administered 2 times resulting in the large surplus amount. The division should review these results and adjust fees appropriately.

The Police Department is responsible for law enforcement to ensure safety within the community. There are several divisions within the Police Department: Administration, Operations, & Investigations that are involved with charging fees for services. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications, detailed per unit results, and annual revenue impacts for the fee-related services provided by the Police Department.

FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATIONS
In discussions with Police staff, the following modifications were made to the current fee schedule:
• Eliminated Fees: Staff proposed eliminating the ‘Redaction Services - Body Worn Camera Video (City Staff)’ as this service is no longer offered and is covered through the contractor category. • New Fees: Staff proposed the addition of the following fees as they highlight services already offered but not codified on the fee schedule:
o ‘Permit Review - Private Security Company - CSO Review’ o ‘Assistance to Planning Division Security Plan Review for New Business’ • Expanded Fees: Due to large variability in how the fees are administered, staff proposed expanding ‘Officer Support of City Special Events’ to include multiple classifications.

The modifications noted ensure that the proposed fee schedule more accurately reflects the services being provided by Police Department.

The Rent Stabilization Program is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the City's Rent Stabilization and Eviction for Just Cause Ordinance. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications, detailed per unit results, and annual revenue impacts for the fee-related services provided by Rent Stabilization.

FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATIONS
In discussions with Rent Stabilization staff, the only modification proposed was the moving of the ‘Ellis Act Withdrawn Property Administrative fee’ from Finance to Rent Stabilization. The fees under this section are governed by Ordinance No. 330 and Chapter 14.04 of the Municipal Code.

DETAILED RESULTS
The Rent Stabilization Program collects fees for Annual Registrations, Ellis Act Withdrawn Property Administrative Fees, Processing Fees, Appeals, and Landlord Petitions. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Program and Citywide overhead. The following table details the fee name, current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each service offered.

The majority of the fees administered by the Rent Stabilization Program under-recover for their associated costs. The largest under-recovery at $1,075 is for a ‘Filing of Appeal’. The smallest undercharge is in the Tenant Petition category for ‘Second Installment - Each Additional Unit in the Same Building’ at $1.

ANNUAL REVENUE IMPACT
Based on the prior year’s workload information, Rent Stabilization has a deficit of roughly $317,000. The following table shows the revenue at the current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference by major fee category.

TABLE 24: ANNUAL RESULTS – RENT STABILIZATION
Fee Category Revenue at Current Fee Annual Cost Difference Annual Registration $549,900 $867,150 ($317,250)
Total $549,900 $867,150 ($317,250)
Rent Stabilization has an annual cost recovery of roughly 63%. This under-recovery is in relation to the Annual Registration. The per-unit deficit for this fee is $135, and approximately 2,350 units were permitted, resulting in the large annual deficit. While the program is meant to be self-sustaining the difference in costs is due to the overhead component that is currently not factored into these fees. The program should review these results and adjust fees appropriately. 678

The East Palo Alto Sanitation District has recently been absorbed by the City and is overseen by the Public Works Department. The District is responsible for the collection, processing, and disposal of solid waste and recyclable materials within the district. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications, detailed per unit results, and annual revenue impacts for the fee-related services provided by the Sanitation District.

FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATIONS
In discussions with Sanitation District staff, only the ‘Main Line Extension Permit’ fee was proposed on an hourly basis to capture the services provided but not currently captured.

DETAILED RESULTS
The Sanitation District collects fees for Plan Checks, Inspections, Permit Applications, & Main Line Extensions. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and District and Citywide overhead.

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 43
The following sections provide guidance regarding how and where to increase fees, determine annual update factors, and develop cost recovery policies and procedures.

FEE ADJUSTMENTS
This study has documented and outlined on a fee-by-fee basis where the City is under- and overcollecting for its fee-related services. City and Department management will now need to review the study results and adjust fees per Departmental and City philosophies and policies. The following points outline the major options the City has in adjusting its fees:
• Over-Collection: Upon review of the fees that were shown to be over-collecting for costs of services provided, the City should reduce the current fee to be in line with the full cost of providing the service.
• Full Cost Recovery: For fees that show an under-collection for costs of services provided, the City may decide to increase the fee to full cost recovery immediately. • Phased Increase: For fees with significantly low-cost recovery levels, or which would have a significant impact on the community, the City could choose to increase fees gradually over a set period.

The City will need to review the results of the fee study and associated cost recovery levels and determine how best to adjust fees. While decisions regarding fees that currently show an over-recovery are straightforward, the following subsections provide further detail on why and how the City should consider either implementing Full Cost Recovery or a Phased Increase approach to adjusting its fees.

FULL COST RECOVERY
Based on the permit or review type, the City may wish to increase the fee to cover the full cost of providing services. Certain permits may be close to cost recovery already, and an increase to full cost may not be significant. Other permits may have a more significant increase associated with full cost recovery.

Increasing fees associated with permits and services that are already close to full cost recovery can potentially bring a Department’s overall cost recovery level higher. Often, these minimal increases can provide necessary revenue to counterbalance fees that cannot be increased.

The City should consider increasing fees for permits for which services are rarely engaged to full cost recovery. These services often require specific expertise and can involve more complex research and review due to their infrequent nature. As such, setting these fees at full cost recovery will ensure that when the permit or review is requested, the City is recovering the full cost of its services.

COST RECOVERY CONSIDERATIONS
681

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 44

PHASED INCREASES
Depending on current cost recovery levels, some current fees may need to be increased significantly to comply with established or proposed cost recovery policies. Due to the type of permit or review or the amount by which a fee needs to be increased, it may be best for the City to use a phased approach to reaching its cost recovery goals.

As an example, you may have a current fee of $200 with a full cost of $1,000, representing 20% cost recovery. If the current policy is 80% cost recovery, the current fee would need to increase by $600, bringing the fee to $800, to comply with proposed recovery levels. Assuming this service is something the City provides quite often and affects various members of the community, an instant increase of $600 may not be feasible. Therefore, the City could take a phased approach, whereby it increases the fee annually over a set period until cost recovery is achieved.

Raising fees over a set period not only allows the City to monitor and control the impact to applicants but also ensure that applicants have time to adjust to significant increases. Continuing with the example above, the City could increase the fee by $150 per year for the next four years, spreading out the increase. Depending on the desired overall increase and the impact to applicants, the City could choose to vary the number of years by which it chooses to increase fees. However, the project team recommends that the City not phase increases for periods greater than five years, as that is the maximum window after which a comprehensive fee assessment should be completed.

ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS
Conducting a comprehensive analysis of fee-related services and costs annually would be quite cumbersome and costly. The general recommendation is that a comprehensive fee analysis should be conducted every three to five years. This allows jurisdictions to ensure they account for organizational changes, such as staffing levels and merit increases, and process efficiencies, code or rule changes, or technology improvements. Developing annual update mechanisms allow jurisdictions to maintain current levels of cost recovery, while accounting for increases in staffing or expenditures related to permit services. The two most common types of update mechanisms are Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) factors. The following points provide further detail on each of these mechanisms:
• COLA / Personnel Cost Factor: Jurisdictions often provide their staff with annual salary adjustments to account for increases in local cost of living. These increases are not tied to merit or seniority but rather meant to offset rising costs associated with housing, gas, and other livability factors. Sometimes these factors vary depending on the bargaining group of a specific employee. Generally, these factors are around two or three percent annually. • CPI / ECI Factor: A common method of increasing fees or cost is to look at regional cost indicators, such as the Consumer Price Index or Employment Cost Index. These factors are calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are put out at various intervals within a year, and are specific to states and regions.
682

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 45
The City of East Palo Alto already utilizes a CPI factor and it should continue to do so to ensure that fees are increased in alignment with cost increases.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
This study has identified areas where the City is under-collecting the costs associated with providing services. This known funding gap is therefore being subsidized by other City revenue sources.

Development of cost recovery policies and procedures will ensure that current and future decision makers understand how and why fees were determined and set, as well as provide a road map for ensuring consistency when moving forward. The following subsections outline typical cost recovery levels and discuss the benefits of developing target cost recovery goals and procedures for achieving and increasing cost recovery.

TYPICAL COST RECOVERY
The Matrix Consulting Group has extensive experience in analyzing local government operations across the United States and has calculated typical cost recovery ranges. The following table outlines cost recovery ranges by major service area.

Building, Community Services, and Engineering are within the typical cost recovery range, while Planning is above the typical cost recovery range.

DEVELOPMENT OF COST RECOVERY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The City should review the current cost recovery levels and adopt a formal policy regarding cost recovery.

This policy can be general in nature and can apply broadly to the City as a whole or to each department and division specifically. A department-specific cost recovery policy would allow the City to better control the cost recovery associated with different types of services being provided and the community benefit received.

EAST PALO ALTO FEE STUDY REPORT
MATRIX CONSULTING GROUP 47
As part of the Cost of Services (User Fee) study for the City of East Palo Alto, Matrix Consulting Group conducted a comparative survey of user fees. The City identified five municipalities to be included in the comparative survey: Menlo Park, Millbrae, Burlingame, Belmont, and Foster City. The project team then reviewed public documents (i.e., agenda items, staff reports, budgets, fee schedules, and ordinances) and or contacted jurisdictions to get comparative information.

While this full report provides the City with a reasonable estimate and understanding of the true costs of providing services, many jurisdictions also wish to benchmark themselves against other comparable jurisdictions to understand the local “rates” for comparable services. This type of comparative analysis allows for the City to assess what types of changes in fee levels their community can bear. However, benchmarking does not provide adequate information regarding the relationship of other jurisdictions’ costs to their fees (i.e., policy decisions to subsidize, cost recovery goals, etc.). To contextualize this portion of the analysis, the project team provided economic and recency factors for the comparable jurisdictions.

The following sections detail various factors to consider when reviewing comparative survey results, as well as graphical comparisons of current fees and total calculated costs for various permits issued or services provided by the City.

ECONOMIC FACTORS
To provide additional context to the comparative survey information, the project team collected economic factors for the jurisdictions included. Three important economic factors to consider when comparing fees across multiple jurisdictions are: population, budget, and workforce size. These factors can impact how and when fees are administered, as a jurisdiction with a smaller population may choose to not charge a fee, or a smaller workforce size may inhibit their ability to administer a fee.

The following tables rank each jurisdiction from smallest to largest for each of these economic factors:

When compared to the surveyed jurisdictions, the City of East Palo Alto ranks near the middle in terms of population, but on the lower end for budget and staffing.

RECENCY FACTOR
While the above comparative information can provide some perspective when paralleling East Palo Alto’s fees with surveyed jurisdictions, other key factors to consider are when a jurisdiction’s fee schedule was last updated and when the last comprehensive analysis was undertaken. It is important to note that even though jurisdictions may have conducted recent fee studies, their fees are not always adopted at full cost recovery. The comparative results only show the adopted fee for the surveyed jurisdiction, not necessarily the full cost associated with the comparable service.

The following tables detail when each surveyed jurisdiction last conducted a fee analysis and when they last updated their fee schedule:

All surveyed jurisdictions have published an updated fee schedule within the last year. Additionally, all the jurisdictions except for Millbrae and Belmont have conducted a fee study within the last five years.

ADDITIONAL FACTORS
Along with keeping the statistics outlined in the previous sections in mind, the following issues should also be noted regarding the use of market surveys in the setting of fees for service:
• Cost Recovery Factors: Each jurisdiction and its fees are different, and many are not based on the actual cost of providing services as various policy decisions may subsidize services. • Fee Variance Factors: A fee with the same name may encompass different types of services or activities across jurisdictions. Variability may stem from differences in service delivery models (e.g., in-house vs. contracted), the scope of work included under the fee, and staffing configurations, all of which can influence how indirect and overhead costs are allocated.

In addition to the issues noted, market surveys can also run the risk of creating a confusing excess of data that will obscure rather than clarify policy issues. Because each jurisdiction is different, the Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the information contained in the market comparison of fees be used as a secondary decision-making tool, rather than the primary method for determining an acceptable price point for services.

COMPARATIVE SURVEY RESULTS

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 29, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Melvin E. Gaines, City Manager
BY: Shiri Klima, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: The New Civic Commons
Recommendations
By motion:

1. Delegate to the City Manager the authority to grant a design review permit, any other required permits for up to an approximately 102,614 square foot, four-story Civic Center on a four-acre property (separate 20,000 square foot, single-story police station on the same property will return to Council in the future and will be permitted at that time), and authority to act on all subsequent environmental clearance documents/findings, as required by applicable law (CEQA);

2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a memorandum of understanding (MOU), in a form approved by the City Attorney, which commits the City to use restrictions on a proposed track and field facility at the proposed Civic Commons as a condition of receiving initial grant funding;

3. Adopt California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings, based upon the analysis in this staff report, and documents in the administrative record, find that the Civic Commons is within the scope of the prior Jobtrain Office Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and does not trigger subsequent or supplemental environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Further find that that the proposed Civic Commons (including the track and field) are within the scope of the Ravenswood Business District (RBD) Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and incorporate the mitigation measures from that Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs (MMRPs) from the RBD Specific Plan FEIR and Subsequent FEIR, and the Jobtrain MND.

Executive Summary
714
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
East Palo Alto is facing a critical need to expand its public facilities to better serve its approximately 30,000 residents. Currently, the City provides only 23 acres of park space, far below the General Plan target of 90 acres, forcing residents to seek recreational opportunities outside the community and increasing regional traffic. Additionally, City operations are fragmented across five scattered, outdated, and primarily leased buildings, undermining operational efficiency, long-term stability, and the City’s ability to adapt facilities to evolving service needs. Subsequent reuse of these properties after the City vacates is considered speculative at this time.

The City also lacks dedicated, modern library infrastructure and relies on County-provided space that is both overcrowded and outdated. Past efforts, including a 2017 Library Needs Assessment, a 2021 Facilities Master Plan, and a 2023 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan, have consistently highlighted the urgent need to consolidate municipal services, expand library capacity, and upgrade public safety facilities.

The proposed Civic Commons project responds directly to these needs by creating a centralized, civic campus. This campus will include a new public library, City Hall, Police Department, rentable community spaces, and six acres of adjacent public parkland. The integrated campus is designed to improve service delivery efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enhance public access to civic, educational, and recreational amenities.

Preliminary plans feature a four-story, approximately 102,600-square-foot building housing the library, City offices, community spaces, and leasable areas, alongside a separate 20,000- square-foot police station. The project benefits from existing planning approvals, with necessary permits and environmental reviews underway to ensure compliance and expedited progress.

Total costs for comparable standalone facilities previously estimated over $140 million could be reduced through this collaborative development. The City is actively working with Sycamore Real Estate Investment LLC, which owns the site and is offering to construct the building tailored to public needs. Staff also seeks City Council authorization to finalize design and permitting processes.

The adjacent park, valued at $30.35 million, will provide a multi-use athletic field, track, courts, playground, and other amenities. Private donors will fund construction, with usage rights dedicated to a local youth athletic program, the Greyhounds, for 25 years.

The Civic Commons will create a permanent civic hub that strengthens East Palo Alto’s public infrastructure foundation, supports current and future community needs, and fosters civic pride and sustainability.

Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
715
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
This recommendation is primarily aligned with:

Priority: Governance, Organizational Strength and Fiscal Sustainability Priority: Land Use, Economic and Workforce Development
Priority: Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities
Priority: Public Infrastructure and Utilities
Background
East Palo Alto needs new public facilities to meet the demands of its growing community and to deliver services more effectively. The City currently provides only 23 acres of park space (with just under 30,000 residents); well below the General Plan target of 3 acres per 1,000 residents, which translates to approximately 90 acres for the current population. This has generally necessitated individuals leaving the City for external recreational opportunities under existing conditions and increasing regional vehicular trips.

City departments currently operate in scattered, outdated buildings that are too small and not designed for modern municipal services. Out of five buildings the City uses today, it leases four: the City Hall offices at 2415 University Avenue, the Police Department station and substation at 141 and 219 Demeter Street, and the Corporation Yard at 150 Tara Road. The City owns the small site it operates from at 1960 Tate Street. This property is less than onethird of an acre and offers just over 5,000 square feet of office space.

This heavy reliance on leased space undermines the City's long-term stability. Leasing creates uncertainty and limits flexibility. Rent increases, changes in ownership, or non-renewal of lease agreements can disrupt essential services and reduce the City's control over the quality and layout of its working environments. Leased facilities cannot be customized to meet evolving service needs, and the City cannot rely on them to support future growth. By contrast, ownership enables the City to invest in permanent infrastructure, build civic pride, reduce longterm costs, and secure essential services for future generations. Ownership also grows the City’s assets, which can be financially leveraged in a variety of ways. These separate facilities also result in operational inefficiencies when City staff need to travel between these facilities.

The lack of City-owned infrastructure extends to library services. East Palo Alto participates in the San Mateo County Libraries Joint Powers Authority, which operates the library system.

While most member cities provide library buildings, East Palo Alto relies entirely on the County to supply 7,680 square feet of space at 2415 University Avenue. That library is crowded and outdated, and results in individuals traveling out of the City under existing conditions. If the City wants to expand or improve library services to meet community needs, it must build the necessary facility. Without that commitment, East Palo Alto remains dependent on others and limits its ability to shape library services that reflect the priorities of its residents.

The City Council has consistently recognized these shortcomings and has taken steps to address them. In 2017, the City conducted a Library Needs Assessment with SMCL. In 2021, the City adopted a Facilities Master Plan. In 2023, the City examined police relocation options 716
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
and studied the feasibility of rebuilding or remodeling City Hall at 2415 University Avenue. That same year, the City completed a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan.

These efforts were driven by the need to consolidate City functions into a central civic campus, expand and modernize library space, and ensure the police department operates in a facility that meets current public safety standards. Each of these plans points to the need for a bold, coordinated investment in civic infrastructure.

The Civic Commons directly responds to that need. It will unify a new library, rentable community spaces, a new City Hall, a new Police Department, and new public open space into a single community-serving campus at 2535 Pulgas Avenue, East Palo Alto. Together with the track and field, the Civic Commons delivers permanent, City-owned infrastructure designed to support the delivery of high-quality services. It would result in improved efficiencies, with the consolidation of many civic facilities in a single location, eliminating the need for travel between individual facilities, as occurs under existing conditions. It also expands public access to civic, educational, and recreational amenities. Most importantly, the project strengthens the foundation of local government and prepares East Palo Alto to meet the needs of its residents now and for decades to come.

Analysis
Existing City plans envision a standalone 24,000 square feet library estimated to cost $50 million (land, design & construction), a 30,000 square feet City Hall estimated to cost $65 million (not including land and design costs), and a 20,000 square feet Police Department estimated to cost $22 million (not including land and design costs). Including land costs, the total costs of these three facilities totaling 74,000 square feet could be more than $140 million in 2025 dollars. Additionally, the City has not secured land for the City Hall or Police Department, and there is no clear timeline for these projects to be constructed.

Over the past two years, staff met with various developers and philanthropic organizations to consider our facilities options. In these conversations, we learned that Sycamore Real Estate Investment LLC had an already entitled 102,478-square foot, 4-story building on a 4-acre property within the City. At the time, Sycamore planned to sell two floors to another entity, so the initial discussions were around the City purchasing the remaining two floors for a City Hall.

The potential other buyer has since backed out, and through evolving discussions, Sycamore is now offering to construct the entire building for these public uses. We are still working with Sycamore to understand the total cost of the project and to explore all financing options; we will bring those forward to Council as we learn more.

Preliminary Building Layout
The big picture layout for the building would be:
 First Floor: Library, one-stop permitting center, City Council Chambers, community space (with access to an outdoor patio for events like weddings and quinceaneras)  Second Floor: additional library space, flexible City offices, meeting rooms, staff areas 717
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
 Third Floor: leasable space for nonprofits and/or private tenants  Fourth Floor: City administrative offices
This layout is still under review. Staff welcomes Council and public feedback.

Sycamore plans to raise the height of the first floor by five feet in comparison to the previously approved plans to accommodate civic functions, but the current Civic Commons proposal is still reduced in comparison to what was analyzed in the MND (see Table below). Its architect will also redesign the exterior with a more formal government look, replacing the original officestyle facade. These are minor but consequential changes.

Sycamore will also construct a separate 20,000 square foot police station on the same site.

While the original building has been designed and permitted, the new police station would still require such steps.

Public Park Donation
There will be a public park on six acres of land (at 2555 Pulgas Avenue, 151 Tara Street, and 264 Tara Street, all in East Palo Alto) adjacent and northeast to the proposed Civic Commons.

In the middle of the park would be a multi-use athletic field with football, soccer and Little League baseball striping and a backstop. This would be encompassed by an 8-lane allweather track surface and facilities which could be used for running but also long jump, triple jump, pole vault, discuss/hammer throw, high jump and shot put. Surrounding the track would be picnic areas, a multi-use path, a children’s play area, a senior balance court, an exercise plaza, two pickleball courts, and a basketball half-court. Here is the current design for the park:
718
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
If the Civic Commons project advances, private donors will cover the full $30.35 million cost of this park. The City will only be responsible for the cost of ongoing maintenance.

Required Permits and Environmental Considerations
Sycamore Real Estate already received Design Review, Variance and Tree Removal Permit approvals on January 24, 2022, by the Planning Commission, including adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for a 110,000-square foot office building (State Clearinghouse No. 2021110199 [“Jobtrain Office Project”]).. A variance was also previously granted to exceed the three-story height limit, allowing a fourth story. The approvals were granted under the 2014 Ravenswood Business District/4 Corners (RBD) Specific Plan (available at:
https://www.cityofepa.org/planning/page/ravenswood4-corners-specific-plan-adopted12172024). The property’s zoning designation, Ravenswood Employment Center (REC), remains the same under the 2024 RBD Specific Plan. The proposed civic center use is a permitted use under the 2024 RBD Specific Plan. The associated Conditions of Approval require that any modification to the approved plans or related project information be submitted to the Planning Division for review, consistent with the requirements of the Development Code.

Staff determined that an amendment to the Design Review Permit would be required for the modified project.
719
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
On July 18, 2025, ArcTec submitted updated plans for City review with a revised design for the approved office building as a new Library, City Hall and community spaces and for a new 20,000-square foot one story police building. The office building was redesigned to accommodate a taller space for the Library and the Council Chambers on the first floor. The revised proposal includes a four-story building totaling 102,614 square feet, which is slightly larger than the original building (but less than what was analyzed in the MND). With the exception of an overall increase of the building height by five feet, the number of stories remains consistent with the prior entitlement. The proposed civic facility would house a new public Library, City Hall and additional community space. The updated design introduces several changes to the previously entitled building, including revised façade treatments with new fenestration patterns, varied massing elements, an expanded palette of exterior materials, and the addition of murals reflecting the building’s civic function.

The table below summarizes the changes of the proposed Library, City Hall and community space building versus the previously entitled building.

A Building Permit from the Building Division is required for the construction of each new structure in the Civic Commons project, including the Library, City Hall, and community spaces building, any park facilities, and the Police Station. The permit's integrated plan review will cover all architectural, structural, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, as well as CALGreen components. As a designated "Essential Facility," the Police Station will be reviewed against higher safety and structural standards.

A precise grading permit from the Public Works Department is required for the Library, City Hall, and community spaces building, police station as well as the park. A separate 720
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
encroachment permit is required for improvements in the public right of way. Additionally, a will-serve letter is required from the East Palo Sanitary District for any new connections to the sanitary sewer system, which requires a submitted application along with sewer plans and a sewer flow analysis.

The main building will be a LEED Silver-certified green building. A Mitigated Negative Declaration
(https://www.cityofepa.org/sites/default/files/fileattachments/planning/project/19355/jobtrain_dr aft_initial_study_11.10.21_web.pdf) was prepared and certified for the original building by the Planning Commission along with the planning entitlements. Subsequent to the project approval, a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) (https://www.cityofepa.org/sites/default/files/fileattachments/community_amp_economic_devel opment/page/24503/rbd_specific_plan_update_final_seir_11.15.24.pdf) was certified for the Ravenswood/4 Corners RBD Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse No. 2011052006), which includes the project site as developed with office.

Environmental
The proposed project is subject to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)1 adopted with the 2024 RPD Specific Plan. The MMRP includes mitigation measures and standards to ensure compliance with environmental requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project will implement the following measures consistent with the MMRP:
 Dark Sky Compliance: All exterior and site lighting will be designed in accordance with dark sky standards to minimize light trespass and reduce impacts to nocturnal wildlife and adjacent properties.
 Bird-Safe Glazing and Treatments: Building glazing will incorporate bird-safe strategies, such as frosted glass or exterior screens, to reduce bird collision risks consistent with the City’s adopted standards.
 Municipal Regional Permit (NPDES) Requirements: The project will adhere to all provisions of the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), including Best Management Practices (BMPs) for pollution prevention and stormwater quality management during and after construction.
 C.3 Stormwater Management Standards: The project will integrate site design, source control and Low Impact Development (LID) measures and other site-specific stormwater controls (e.g., bioretention facilities, permeable paving) to meet C.3 requirements for stormwater treatment and flow control.

The proposed park project is consistent with the 2024 Specific Plan and the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) adopted under the Specific Plan Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR). The project incorporates the following mitigation measures and design features:
 Stormwater Management: The project will meet all C.3 stormwater treatment and flow control standards by incorporating Low Impact Development (LID) features, such as

1 https://www.cityofepa.org/sites/default/files/fileattachments/planning/page/24503/appendix_c_mmrp.pdf 721
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
bioretention areas and permeable paving, to reduce runoff and improve water quality in compliance with the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP).  Lighting and Raptor Perch Deterrents (MM BIO-2.5): The proposed park does not include stadium or sports field lighting, thereby reducing potential impacts to raptor species. Compliance with dark sky requirements, including the use of full or modified cut-of lighting fixtures, will further minimize nighttime lighting impacts.  Food Management to Avoid Nuisance Predators (MM BIO-2.8): The City will implement a food management program within the park to reduce the attraction of nuisance predators and protect local wildlife species, consistent with the adopted mitigation measure.

As the architect and other professionals make their submissions, the City and its project manager are trying to keep this project — particularly the Library, City Hall and community spaces building as well as the park — moving as fast as possible. The urgency is in building the much-needed facilities, but also, the City needs to demonstrate to potential donors that it is just as invested as they are. Our momentum translates to their commitments. Accordingly, since Council takes a recess in August, staff is recommending that the City Council delegate authority to the City Manager to approve administratively modifications to the previously approved Design Review application, the building permits, and the precise grading permits.

Because the plans are still being refined, this will enable staff to continue to work with the City consultants to finalize all plans and to ensure the appropriate compliance, consistent with City Council direction.

The new one-story 20,000-square foot police building proposed for the northwest portion of the site is currently being designed. A detailed plan set has not yet been submitted but is anticipated soon. Once the Police Department building is designed, it will also need its own evaluation, similar to the main building, for all permits and with respect to environmental review. That building is not currently being considered and will return to Council in the future.

The MOU
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the park is between the City, Sycamore Real Estate Investment LLC (the property owner), and the private donors, who wish to remain anonymous at this time.

This generous donation is primarily made to be the long-term home of the Greyhounds, a youth athletic program for grades 1 through 8. Thus, the MOU requires that, for the first 25 years, the Greyhounds have exclusive use of the track and field particular days and times. The details of these days and times are still being worked out, but we are currently discussing the Greyhounds gaining exclusive access of the field (but not the track) approximately 3 afternoons/evenings a week for 3.5 months of the year, of the track (but not the field) approximately 3 afternoons/ evenings a week for 6 months of the year, and of both the track and field approximately ten weekend days per year. At all other times, the park will be public, and other organizations may rent it out for their practices or games. 722
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
The proposed name of the track, which will be on a sign, would be determined by the donors.

The Greyhounds’ team logo would also be painted in the middle of the grass field.

Staff requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute this MOU, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, governing use restrictions in exchange for a donation toward a new $30.35 million park.

Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact of delegating to the City Manager the permitting authority and the authority to negotiate, award and execute the MOU.

Public Notice
The public was provided notice by making the agenda and report available on the City’s website and on a bulletin board located at City Hall: 2415 University Avenue, East Palo Alto.

The current iteration of the project is consistent with the MND’s analysis. The MND assumed an “office building” which is consistent with the proposed civic uses, which would operate in the same manner. (See Maintain Our Desert Environment v. Town of Apple Valley (2004) 124 723
POLICY AND ACTION ITEM 15.1
Cal.App.4th 430.) As discussed above, the development would also add an adjacent athletic field. However, as also discussed above, there is pre-existing demand for such recreational facilities within the City, as the City is well below the goals of 3 acres per 1,000 residents.

Consequently, under existing conditions residents are traveling outside the City’s boundaries.

With this localized recreational resource, the City will offset existing longer distance trips. (See OPR SB743 Technical Advisory, p. 30 [“grocery store built in a food desert that diverts trips from more distance stores.”].) The City finds that the Civic Commons is within the scope of the prior MND’s analysis and does not trigger subsequent or supplemental environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Similarly, the City approved a Final Environmental Impact Report for the Ravenswood Business District/4 Corners (RBD) Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse No. 2011052006) (available at:https://www.cityofepa.org/planning/page/rbdupdate-final-subsequent-environmental-impact-report-fseir-released-11152024). The underlying RBD Specific Plan is available online. The RBD Specific Plan and MMRP are available at: https://www.ci.east-palo-alto.ca.us/planning/page/ravenswood4-corners-specific-plan-adopted12172024. The RBD Specific Plan FEIR available at:

https://www.cityofepa.org/planning/page/rbd-update-final-subsequent-environmental-impact-report-fseir-released11152024 .) The Civic Commons is designated as “Ravenswood Employment Center (Low/Medium-intensity Industrial/Lab/Office, Retail/Community).” RBD Specific Plan Table 6-1 identifies community uses, public safety facilities, public assembly, meeting facilities, and public facilities as permissible uses in this designation, consistent with the Civic Commons.

The Civic Commons is designated as “Ravenswood Employment Center (Low/Mediumintensity Industrial/Lab/Office, Retail/Community).” RBD Specific Plan Table 6-1 identifies community uses, public safety facilities, public assembly, meeting facilities, and public facilities as permissible uses in this designation, consistent with the Civic Commons.

The track and field is designated in the RBD Specific Plan as “Waterfront Office (High intensity Industrial/PDR). RBD Specific Plan Table 6-1 identifies recreational space as a permissible use within this Waterfront Office designation, consistent with the proposed athletic field.

Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(2), the City finds that the proposed Civic Commons (including athletic field) is consistent with the allowable land use, and overall planned intensity, infrastructure and environmental analysis included in the Final EIR, and is therefore within the scope of the RBD Final EIR, and incorporates the mitigation measures from the previously adopted MMRP.
