BACKGROUND ON CALPERS COSTS
Agenda Packet Page 8 of 293
4 City of El Cerrito CalPERS Summary
 City of El Cerrito has an $89M CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability (“UAL”), as of the latest CalPERS valuation for June 30, 2023
 Miscellaneous Plans: $26M | Safety Plans: $63M
 CalPERS FY 2023-24 Final Investment Returns: 9.5%*
 Projected to decrease City’s UAL to $85M (as of 6/30/2024); annual budgetary impact from this change will be seen in FY 2026-27
 City adopted a Section 115 Pension Trust in September 2023 to address rising pension costs
 $1.4M balance as of March 31, 2025
 Continuing to monitor and manage ongoing CalPERS UAL costs will be critical for fiscal resiliency, especially with potential changes stemming from CalPERS’ FY 2024-25 investment performance and 2025 Asset Liability Management Study *CalPERS’ Money-Weighted Rate of Return, as reported by CalPERS in its FY 2023-24 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report

Liability (“UAL”): Annual
payment to amortize the
“debt” to CalPERS
 UAL is amortized over 20 years
 New UAL is created when

CalPERS Pension Funded Status
Agenda Packet Page 10 of 293
6 Now…
 Sluggish investment returns (not meeting
assumptions)
 Assumptions have changed/grown more
conservative
 Discount Rate (assumed rate of investment
returns): 8.25% → 7.00% → 6.80%
 Inflation rate (prices going up)
 Mortality rates (people living longer)
 Shorter, more conservative amortizations
Why CalPERS Costs Have Trended Higher
Then (late 1990s)…
 Robust investment returns (10%+)
 Retirement plans were “SuperFunded” through the late 1990s  Earnings on funds were more than
adequate to cover retirement costs
 Super-funded status induced
widespread retirement benefits
enhancements
 Past funding policies led to
contribution holidays and “free”
benefit improvements
Historical PERS
Returns
5-Year: 6.6%
10-Year: 6.2%
20-Year: 6.7%
30-Year: 7.7%
All assumptions will be revisited by CalPERS during
2025 Asset Liability Management (ALM) Study

9 City’s CalPERS Retirement Plans
 2 Main CalPERS plans: Miscellaneous & Safety
 Miscellaneous: 460 covered members; $26M UAL
 Safety: 290 covered members; $63M UAL
 PEPRA (effective 2013) helpful to manage long term pension costs for new employees
 Enacted revised benefit levels for new plan members
 Higher employee contribution rates mean more normal cost is being paid by the employee
 However, 98% of current UAL comes from Classic plans and is not impacted by PEPRA

COST MANAGEMENT STRATEGY OVERVIEW
Agenda Packet Page 18 of 293
14 Pension Cost-Containment Strategies – Not Mutually Exclusive Prepay UAL early in Fiscal Year (≈ 3.3% discount) → CITY DOES THIS Negotiate Cost Sharing With Employees
•New employees already governed by lower cost/benefit PEPRA plans •Negotiated cost sharing of the City’s share
Fresh Start Amortization offered by CalPERS
•Pros: Smooths payment, shortens repayment period; reduces overall interest paid from shorter amortization period •Cons: New structure “locked-in” + increased annual payments in near term; still amortized at discount rate Use Cash Reserves to Pay Extra (two options) → CITY HAS A SECTION 115 PENSION TRUST •Section 115 Trust – Separate trust solely dedicated to pension/OPEB •City’s annual UAL cost and Normal Cost can be supplemented with the Trust •ADP – direct payments to CalPERS to reduce UAL
•Choose optimal amortization bases to pay off
Restructure All or Portion of Remaining UAL
•Restructure portion of UAL at lower bond interest rate and “smooth out” payments for enhanced budget predictability, near and mid-term potential savings, and preservation of cash for other critical projects NOT RECOMMENDED GIVEN CURRENT INTEREST RATES Agenda Packet Page 19 of 293

CONCLUSION
Agenda Packet Page 25 of 293
21 Conclusion
 City of El Cerrito has recently established a Section 115 Pension Trust to better manage its rising pension costs ($1.4M balance as of 3/31/2025)  14% of City’s 2025 CalPERS costs (UAL + Normal Cost = $10M)  City should stay vigilant to combat the impact of rising pension costs, including an annual review of pension cost projections + ongoing pension cost management strategies
 Annually identify any surplus/reserves that can be added to the Trust and consider higher earning investment portfolios for the Trust assets  Example: Many agencies deposit the savings from the annual UAL prepayment into the Trust  City should reassess pension cost projections once CalPERS reports its FY 2024-25 investment return and finishes its 2025 Asset-Liability Management Study in Fall 2025

RESOLUTION 2025-XX

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CERRITO SUPPORTING

STATE AND REGIONAL FUNDING FOR BAY AREA PUBLIC TRANSIT
WHEREAS, the residents and economy of the City of El Cerrito depend on public transit, particularly BART, AC Transit, and East Bay Paratransit; and WHEREAS, our communities are at risk of losing public transit service and suffering fare increases, as a result of the expiration of federal operations funds for transit systems; and WHEREAS, reliable, frequent, affordable, safe and sustainable public transit is essential to the mobility needs of many in our community, including youth, elders, disabled people and those who do not have drivers’ licenses as well as those who simply cannot afford to own and drive an automobile; and
WHEREAS, transit service is fundamental to access for affordable housing and cuts to service combined with increased fare costs impede development of new affordable housing, and WHEREAS, cutting service threatens our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while increasing traffic congestion and costs for cash-strapped households; and WHEREAS, major cuts to public transit would cause massive ripple effects for our local economy. Without good quality public transit, fewer customers and employees will be able to access businesses and thousands of low income people will lose their only transportation option; and
WHEREAS, there are 800,000 jobs within a 15-minute walk to a BART station and major cuts to public transit could cause traffic on the Bay Bridge to increase by 72% and cause commutes for key routes connecting the East Bay to San Francisco to increase by up to 10 hours per week; and
WHEREAS, the City of El Cerrito is particularly dependent on BART service, being the smallest city with two BART stations; and
WHEREAS, BART has made significant investments in El Cerrito, with the modernization of El Cerrito del Norte BART, the El Cerrito Plaza BART transit-oriented development project coupled with significant access improvements being planned, and new fare gates installed this year at both stations; and
WHEREAS, California, as a state, has been underfunding transit operations relative to many other states for decades. In 2019, transit agencies in the Bay Area received, on average, less than 16 percent of their operating funding from the state, compared to 21 percent state funding in Chicago, 30 percent in New York City, 44 percent in Boston, and 50 percent in Philadelphia; and
WHEREAS, BART experienced ridership of over 50 million in calendar year 2024, while AC Transit experienced ridership of nearly 40 million for fiscal year 2024; and WHEREAS, BART is facing a budget shortfall of $385M and AC Transit is facing a shortfall of $60 million annually, and both agencies will face drastic service cuts by 2027; and Agenda Packet Page 55 of 293
WHEREAS, State Senator Arreguín, together with Assemblymember Gonzalez, has submitted a budget request to increase public transit funding by $2 billion in the next fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, a bill to authorize a multi-county transit ballot measure, SB 63 (Wiener, Arreguín), has been introduced in the state Legislature this year; and WHEREAS, in order to generate the needed funding on the timeline needed to avert service cuts, that bill must be signed this year, and a measure brought to the voters no later than November 2026.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of El Cerrito that it hereby supports the vision shared by rider, climate and labor groups of a measure that (1) provides enough funding to preserve and increase transit service levels across the region and distributes the funds equitably and (2) prioritizes funding for transit operations, and does not increase carbon emissions.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of El Cerrito urges Senator Jesse Arreguin and Assemblymember Buffy Wicks to champion a bill that achieves that vision in the Legislature this year.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of El Cerrito urges Assemblymember Wicks, Senator Arreguín, and their colleagues, as well as Governor Newsom, to support the current $2 billion budget request and further budget actions that significantly increase the state’s support for transit operating needs on a sustainable basis.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of El Cerrito urges Senator Jesse Arreguin and Assemblymember Buffy Wicks and Governor Newsom to support budget actions that significantly increase the state’s support for transit operating needs on a sustainable basis.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall become effective immediately upon passage and adoption.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.G.

Date: May 20, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Jeff Ballantine, Senior Planner; Sean Moss, Planning Manager; Melanie Mintz, Community Development Director, Community Development Department
Subject: Acceptance of Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) Grant and related scope of work from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution committing to take steps toward achieving compliance with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC's) Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Policy as a condition for MTC to allocate regional discretionary funding.

BACKGROUND
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is the regional transportation planning and funding agency serving the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) guides how MTC distributes federal transportation funding from the Federal Highway Administration to projects and programs that improve safety, spur economic development and help the Bay Area meet air quality improvement goals.

Since OBAG’s inception in 2015, the City has received $9.78 million in funding for various transportation infrastructure projects further detailed below.

MTC Resolution 4530 (2022) established the Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) policy for locations within a half mile of existing and planned major transit stops and stations served by regional rail, commuter rail, light-rail transit, bus rapid transit, and ferries. Future OBAG funding cycles will prioritize investments in transit station areas that are subject to TOC policy to jurisdictions that are compliant with TOC policy. MTC has identified nearly 65 jurisdictions as having areas subject to the TOC Policy.

Transit-Oriented Communities seeks to support the region’s transit investment by creating communities around transit stations and along transit corridors that not only support transit ridership, but that are places where Bay Area residents of all abilities, income levels, and racial and ethnic backgrounds can live, work and access services.

The TOC Policy is rooted in Plan Bay Area 2050 (PBA2050), the region’s Long Range Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities strategy. (MTC Resolution No. 4530, Revised. 10/25/23)
The TOC Policy incentivizes local jurisdictions to plan and zone for higher residential and commercial densities in areas within one half-mile of existing and planned fixedguideway transit stops and stations to support the region’s transit investments.

Agenda Packet Page 57 of 293
Agenda Item No. 7.G.

The TOC Policy also incentivizes local jurisdictions to adopt policies focused on increasing housing production of all types, particularly affordable housing production, preservation and protection, commercial anti-displacement and stabilization, parking management, and transit station access.

Future One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) funding cycles will prioritize investments in transit station areas that are subject to and compliant with the TOC Policy. To date, El Cerrito has received $9.78 million in OBAG funding for various transportation infrastructure projects, including the following:
• Del Norte BART Station Precise Plan and Complete Streets Improvements • Ohlone Greenway Bike and Pedestrian Improvements
• Repaving stretches of Carlson Boulevard and Central Avenue along with various additional streets in the City
As outlined in the MTC Administrative Guidance: Transit-Oriented Communities Policy (September 2024), the TOC requirements are divided into four sections. These include:

1. Zoning density and intensity requirements for residential and commercial office development

2. Affordable housing production, preservation, and protection policies and commercial stabilization policies

3. Parking management policies

4. Station access and circulation requirements
On September 30, 2024, the MTC announced a Call for Projects for Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Planning and Implementation Grants. In response, the City of El Cerrito Community Development Department submitted a grant application to MTC requesting $270,000 for the El Cerrito TOC Areas project to support zoning density and intensity requirements in compliance with TOC. On February 14, 2025 the MTC Planning Committee approved $20 million in grants to local jurisdictions, which included awarding the City of El Cerrito’s request. Prior to funding grants to each jurisdiction, MTC requires the legislative body of each jurisdiction to adopt a resolution committing to take steps toward achieving compliance with MTC's TOC Policy.

ANALYSIS
El Cerrito has two areas that are subject to MTC’s TOC Policy: the areas surrounding the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station and the El Cerrito del Norte BART Station. The El Cerrito TOC Areas project that would be funded by the MTC grant will assist the City in achieving compliance with the TOC zoning density and intensity requirements for residential and commercial office development.

For residential zoning requirements, the TOC Policy applies to all parcels within a half mile of both the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station and the El Cerrito del Norte BART Station that do not have any existing residential units and that are not considered a Housing Opportunity Site in the City’s Housing Element.

Agenda Packet Page 58 of 293
Agenda Item No. 7.G.

The TOC Policy requires zoning amendments such that the average required minimum residential density is 75 dwelling units per acre and the average maximum allowable residential density is 100 units per acre for these sites. This could be achieved either by applying these minimum and maximum densities to every applicable parcel or by increasing the required minimum and maximum for some parcels and reducing it for others such that the required averages are still achieved within a half mile of the stations.

For commercial office zoning requirements, the TOC-compliant zoning amendments will require an average minimum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 3.0 and an average allowable maximum FAR of 6.0 for parcels within both the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station TOC and the El Cerrito del Norte BART Station TOC areas that are in zoning districts where commercial office space is a permitted use. This is primarily the areas within a half mile of the BART stations that are within the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan (SPASP) area.

It is worth noting that despite office being a permitted use in the SPASP area, the City has not received a Planning entitlement application for new office square footage since the adoption of the SPASP in 2014.

In the City’s grant application, staff prioritized tasks where additional assistance is needed. In addition to this effort that will be funded through the MTC grant award, the City will also need to come into compliance with the other TOC sections: affordable housing production, preservation, and protection policies and commercial stabilization policies; parking management policies; and station access and circulation requirements.

In the coming months, MTC intends to hire a law firm to prepare model ordinance updates that jurisdictions can utilize to address the requirements of affordable housing production, preservation, and protection policies and commercial stabilization policies.

City staff intend to evaluate and utilize such model ordinances to address these requirements.

In City staff’s review of the requirements for station access and circulation requirements, it appears that existing City programs and policies already address the requirements of this section. Parking allowed maximums and minimums may also need to be modified to be TOC compliant.

In addition, as City staff continues to evaluate and implement the TOC policy that applies to all station areas, staff will monitor whether the policies will help achieve the City’s goals as articulated in the Housing Element, San Pablo Avenue Specific plan and other documents given the City’s particular geographic and market characteristics. Staff will continue to collaborate with its regional partners and advocate to ensure that the TOC Policy takes into consideration El Cerrito’s particular characteristics and helps achieve housing and economic development goals.

Agenda Packet Page 59 of 293
Agenda Item No. 7.G.

NEXT STEPS
After adoption of the required Resolution staff will continue to work with MTC staff to advance the El Cerrito TOC Areas project. MTC issued a request for proposals (RFP) seeking a separate consultant for each of the seven counties that include jurisdictions selected for TOC grant awards to assist each jurisdiction within each county with their respective awarded projects. The deadline for firms to respond to the RFP is May 21, 2025. City staff will return to City Council this summer with a presentation on the TOC policy requirements and steps the City can take to address these requirements.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization by developing financing strategies for capital investments; and
• Livability and Belonging by promote a high quality of life and sense of community for current and future generations; and
• Infrastructure and Amenities by advance climate focused, sustainable infrastructure efforts that have community benefit.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
This resolution committing to take steps toward achieving compliance with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC's) Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Policy is not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and is therefore not subject to environmental review. The environmental review required for the future zoning amendments is also funded by the TOC Planning and Implementation Grants and will be conducted as part of the development of those amendments.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
City staff are not requesting any assistance from the General Fund for this effort. Adoption of this resolution will allow the City to accept up to $270,000 in grant funds from MTC.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed action and has not identified any legal considerations.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.H.

Date: May 20, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Eric Ng, Information Technology Manager, City Management Subject: Approve Spending Authority with SSP Data in an amount not-to-exceed $178,000 in Fiscal Year 2024-25

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution approving spending authority with the vendor SSP Data in an amount not-to-exceed $178,000 in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
SSP Data has been providing network design and computer security consulting services to the City since 2006. They are one of very few network and security consulting vendors in Northern California and stand out based on their expertise, high level of service, and rapid response to City emergencies. This minimizes system downtime and maximizes the City’s ability to provide all City services and programs to the public.

The City Council previously authorized a payment of $97,771.50 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 to SSP Data to cover the second annual payment for the AI-powered DarkTrace security detection and response system utilized by the City with approval of Resolution 2023-54 adopted by the City Council on July 18, 2023.

The City is now seeking additional spending authority of $80,228.50 for a not-to-exceed amount of $178,000 with SSP Data in Fiscal Year 2024-25. This spending authority will fund important and needed network and security services for the City, including:
• Completing the renewal of the Sophos Managed Detection and Response system, an existing endpoint protection service provided by SSP Data, for a term ending in 2027 at a cost of $58,075.00.
• Upgrading the aging firewall at the Community Center including maintenance, support, and advanced security features for a term of three years at a cost of $13,677.57.
• Engaging SSP Data to complete additional network and computer consulting services identified as high-priority efforts for FY 2024-25, at a cost of $4,920.00, with an additional $3,555.93 as contingency based on completing tasks relating to increased security features and processes following the City’s recent cybersecurity incident.

In total, expenses with SSP Data for the Darktrace security detection and response system, the Sophos endpoint protection service, refreshing the old firewall at the Community Center, as well as engaging SSP Data for related network design and Agenda Packet Page 63 of 293
Agenda Item No. 7.H.
computer security consulting services are anticipated to total an amount not-to-exceed $178,000 in FY 2024-25. While funds for these purchases are already available in the Adopted Budget, consistent with the City's Procurement Policy, staff are seeking approval to make these purchases, not-to-exceed $178,000 in total throughout the fiscal year.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Community Safety; and
• Infrastructure and Amenities

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section is not applicable to this agenda item.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
While the City Council previously authorized an expenditure of $97,771.50 with SSP Data in this Fiscal Year, additional authority is needed to complete the full scope of services identified for FY 2024-25 which will include some services through 2027. The total anticipated expenditures, not-to-exceed $178,000, were included within the FY 2024-25 Budget adopted by the City Council on June 18, 2024. As such, there is no additional fiscal impact from adopting this resolution.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed action and found that legal considerations have been addressed.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

Date: May 20, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Shannon Bassi, Human Resources Manager, City Management Subject: Annual Public Hearing on Vacancies, Recruitment and Retention Efforts

ACTION PROPOSED
Conduct a public hearing to receive and file a report on workforce vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts in compliance with Assembly Bill 2561.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Assembly Bill 2561, which took effect on January 1, 2025, requires that public agencies hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to discuss City workforce vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts for the prior calendar year. This presentation is for informational purposes only regarding the status of the City’s vacancies and its recruitment and retention efforts.

AB 2561, codified as Government Code section 3502.3, was introduced to address the issue of job vacancies in local government, which can adversely impact service delivery and employee workload. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies conduct a public hearing to present the status of vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year. The annual hearing must be presented to the governing body prior to adoption of the following fiscal year’s budget. The goal is to identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process and explore possible solutions to address obstacles.

In compliance with the new regulations, the City is required to present the following information and provide an opportunity for participation by Employee Organizations:

Vacancy Report
For the calendar year 2024, the City’s annual average percentage of vacancies was 10%. The table below outlines the percentage of vacancies at the beginning of each month.

Agenda Packet Page 71 of 293
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

Employee Organization Participation
Each recognized employee bargaining unit within the City must be given the opportunity to comment or present during the public hearing regarding concerns around vacancies and recruitment/retention efforts. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(b).) The Human Resources Division has notified the four represented bargaining units in the City of the opportunity to present.

Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates
When vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of authorized fulltime positions in that bargaining unit, upon request of the recognized employee organization for that bargaining unit, the City must provide additional information during the public hearing, including the following: (1) the total number of vacancies within the bargaining unit; (2) the number of applicants; (3) the average number of days to fill positions; and (4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(c).) For the calendar year 2024, all the City’s bargaining units were under the 20% vacancy rate, which is summarized below:

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

Date: May 20, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Finance Department; Tony Thrasher, Principal Consultant, Wildan
Subject: Presentation of 2025 Cost Allocation User Fee Study; and Public Hearing and Approval of Fiscal Year 2025-26 Master Fee Schedule

ACTION PROPOSED
Receive and file a presentation on the 2025 Cost Allocation User Fee study; hold a public hearing and, upon conclusion, adopt a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2025- 26 Master Fee Schedule.

BACKGROUND
The Master Fee Schedule, which includes all City user fees, charges for services, Planning and Building fees, and business license tax rates, is revised annually as required by El Cerrito Municipal Code §4.01.010. Adjustments to fees and charges for service are intended to cover changes in the City’s cost of providing programs and services.

During Fiscal Year 2024-25 the City contracted with Willdan to conduct a cost allocation study and a user fee study to analyze the costs and fees to propose adjustments for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The Cost Allocation Study and User Fee Study (Attachment 1) determine the total costs of different City operations and the costs of providing the programs and services listed in the Master Fee Schedule, respectively.

Recommended changes to fees in the Master Fee schedule are proposed largely to bring the fees in line with the updated costs of the related programs and services. In some cases, a proposed fee may not fully cover the cost of the program or services, but maintaining a below-cost fee or reducing the fee may be necessary to maintain alignment with other cities and organizations that have comparable programs. Increases in fees were also analyzed to be consistent with legal restrictions and regulatory guidelines.

The City utilized the Cost Allocation and Fee Studies and inflation statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Western Metropolitan Area (San FranciscoOakland-Hayward) as well as impacts from the City’s labor contracts and other costs of providing services. For building permit fees, consistent with the fee program, the City used the Engineering News Construction Cost Index and Building Valuation, with a Bay Area adjuster. After the proposed changes, City fees do not exceed the costs of providing services for which the fees are charged.

Agenda Packet Page 74 of 293
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

The City's Municipal Code requires that Business License Taxes be revised based on the percentage change from the February 1988 figure of 117.0 in the Revised Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area as published by the Department of Labor for the month of February prior to the fiscal year in which the rate adjustments is applicable. Thus, the Business License Taxes were not included in the user fee study performed by Willdan.

ANALYSIS
The FY 2025-26 proposed fee changes reflect various increases and decreases, excluding fees governed by regulatory or other restrictions or allowable cost recovery recommendations. Several fees are recommended for elimination or consolidation for administrative ease, and several new fees are proposed to support new services or state mandates. The primary adjustment factors include cost of living adjustments for City staff, inflationary impacts on the City's costs, and/or re-evaluation of costs for services through the City-wide cost allocation plan study and the user fee study conducted by Willdan.

Attachment 3, FY 2025-26 Proposed Master Fee Schedule, details all of the proposed fee changes, other adjustments, or movement/relocation of fees to other fee subcategories.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization by allowing the City to ensure that revenue meets the cost of providing services.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section is not applicable to this agenda item.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The estimated revenue generated by fees, charges for service, and business license taxes was included in the City’s FY 2024-25/FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget based on the Master Fee Schedule approved by the City Council. The proposed changes do not warrant decreases to current revenue amounts proposed in the FY 2025-26 proposed budget.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Except for Development Fees, which will become effective 60 days after approval of this schedule, all fees listed in the Master Fee Schedule will become effective July 1, 2025, on the first day of the new fiscal year.

Agenda Packet Page 75 of 293
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

As required by California Government Code §66018(a), the City is required to conduct a public hearing prior to adopting Planning, Building, and some other new fees or fee increases. Notification of this public hearing was completed in accordance with State law and the El Cerrito Municipal Code. Notice was emailed to individual/entities that have previously requested to be notified regarding development fees on May 6, 2024; and published in the West County Times, a subsidiary of East Bay Times Newspaper Group, on May 10, 2025, and May 16, 2025.

1 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Executive Summary
The City of El Cerrito engaged Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to determine the full costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which the City charges user fees. Due to the complexity and the breadth of performing a comprehensive review of fees, Willdan employed a variety of fee methodologies to identify the full costs of individual fee and program activities. This report and the appendices herein identify 100% full cost recovery for City services. Appendix C details the full cost and suggested fees as determined through discussion with departmental staff. The recommended fees identified herein are either at or less than full cost recovery.

Agenda Packet Page 80 of 293
2 Comprehensive User Fee Study
User Fee Background
Background
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments adopt user fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as a whole (“User Fees”). As cities struggle to maintain levels of service and variability of demand, they have become increasingly aware of subsidies provided by the General Fund and have implemented cost-recovery targets. To the extent that governments use general tax monies to provide individuals with private benefits, and not require them to pay the full cost of the service (and, therefore, receive a subsidy), the government is limiting funds that may be available to provide other community-wide benefits. In effect, the government is using community funds to pay for private benefits. Unlike most revenue sources, cities have more control over the level of user fees they charge to recover costs, or the subsidies they can institute.

Fees in California are required to conform to the statutory requirements of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and the California Code of Regulations. The Code also requires that the City Council adopt fees by either ordinance or resolution, and that any fees in excess of the estimated total cost of rendering the related services must be approved by a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting because the charge would be considered a tax and not a fee. There are no fees suggested to be set above the cost of service and as such a public vote is not required.

California User Fee History
Before Proposition 13, in times of fiscal shortages, California cities were able to raise property taxes, which funded everything from police and recreation to development-related services. However, this situation changed with the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.

Proposition 13 established the era of revenue limitation in California local government. In subsequent years, the state saw a series of additional limitations to local government revenues. Proposition 4 (1979) defined the difference between a tax and a fee: a fee can be no greater than the cost of providing the service; and Proposition 218 (1996) further limited the imposition of taxes for certain classes of fees. As a result, cities were required to secure a supermajority vote in order to enact or increase taxes. Due to the thresholds needed to increase local taxes, cities have less control and very few successful options for new revenues.

The State of California took a series of actions in the 1990’s and 2000’s to improve the State’s fiscal situation, at the expense of local governments. In 2004-05, the Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (“ERAF”) take-away of property taxes and the reduction of Vehicle License Fees further reduced local tax revenues.

In addition, on November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative”, which is aimed at defining “regulatory fees” as a special tax rather than a fee, thus requiring approval by two-thirds vote of local voters. These regulatory fees are typically intended to mitigate the societal and environmental impacts of a business or person’s activities. Proposition 26 contains seven categories of exceptions. The fees analyzed as part of a User Fee study typically fall under categories one through five consisting of charges for specific benefits, government service, regulatory need, for use of government property, or a fine/penalty.

3 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Additional Policy Considerations
State regulations require that municipalities update their fee schedules to reflect the actual costs of certain public services primarily benefiting users. User Fees recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby typically reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.

In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering user services, it is common for local governments to recover reasonable support costs. Support costs are those costs relating to a local government’s central service departments that are allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central services support was incorporated using a 15% de minimis indirect overhead rate since the City currently does not have an indirect cost allocation plan. The de rate use as indirect support when a current allocation plan is not present is recommended in the 1 CFR Part 225 Cost Principles, which is a federal standard that is more restrictive than is needed for City user fee cost attribution and is therefore a reasonable approach to use. The purpose of the indirect rate is to account for the citywide central service functions of the City such as Finance, City Manager, City Clerk, Building Maintenance, Information Technology, and Human Resources support of all other operating departments and funds of the City that they support, that provide services to the public.

As labor effort and costs associated with the provision of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is that it has the flexibility to remain current. Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor in the resolution adopting the fee schedule to allow the City to annually increase or decrease the fees by changes in a pre-approved inflationary index, as described below. However, such inflationary increases shall not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services each year.

The City may employ many different inflationary factors. The most commonly used inflator is some form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known and accepted. A similar inflator is the implicit price deflator for GDP, which is much like the CPI except that while the CPI is based on the same “basket” of goods and services every year, the price deflators’ “basket” can change year to year. Since the primary factor for the cost of a City’s services is usually the costs of the personnel involved, tying an inflationary factor that connects more directly to the personnel costs can also be suitable if there is a clear method, or current practice of obtaining said factor.

Each City should use an inflator that they believe works the best for their specific situation and needs but cannot rely solely on the CPI increase as it is incumbent upon each agency to ensure the amount of the fees charged does not exceeds the reasonable estimated costs of providing the services. It is also recommended that the City perform this internal review annually with a comprehensive review of services and fees performed every five years, which would include adding, amending, or removing fees for programs/services.

4 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Study Objective
As the City of El Cerrito seeks to efficiently manage limited resources and adequately respond to increased service demands, it needs a variety of tools. A User Fee Study provides assurance that the City has the best information and the best resources available to make sound decisions, fairly and legitimately set fees, maintain compliance with state law and local policies, and meet the needs of the City administration and its constituency. Given the limitations on raising revenue in local government, the City recognizes that a User Fee Study is a very cost-effective way to understand the total cost of services and identify potential fee deficiencies. Essentially, a User Fee is a payment for a requested service provided by a local government that primarily benefits an individual or group.

The total cost of each service included in this analysis is based on the full cost of providing City services, including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from central service support. This study determines the full cost recovery fee for the City to provide each service; however, each fee is set at the City’s discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in this report.

The principal goal of the study was to help the City determine the full cost of the services that the City provides. In addition, Willdan established a series of additional objectives including:
 Developing a rational basis for setting fees
 Identifying subsidy amount, if applicable, of each fee in the model  Ensuring compliance with State law
 Developing an updatable and comprehensive list of fees  Maintaining accordance with City policies and goals
The study results will help the City better understand its true costs of providing services and may serve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regarding the most appropriate fees, if any, to collect from individuals and organizations that require individualized services from the City.

Scope of the Study
The scope of this study encompasses a review and calculation of the user fees charged by the following El Cerrito departments and fee groups:
 Citywide Services

5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
The study involved the identification of existing and potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, orientation and consultation, quality control, communication and presentations, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels.

Aim of the Report
The User Fee Study focused on the cost of City services, as City staff currently provide them at existing, known, or reasonably anticipated service and staff level needs. This report provides a summary of the study results, and a general description of the approach and methods Willdan and City staff used to determine the recommended fee schedule. The report is not intended to document all of the numerous discussions throughout the process, nor is it intended to provide an influential dissertation on the qualities of the utilized tools, techniques, or alternative approaches.

6 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Project Approach and Methodology
Conceptual Approach
The basic concept of a User Fee Study is to determine the “reasonable cost” of each service provided by the City for which it charges a user fee. The full cost of providing a service may not necessarily become the City’s fee, but it serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected.

The standard fee limitation established in California law for such fees is the “estimated, reasonable cost” principle. In order to maintain compliance with the letter and spirit of this standard, every component of the fee study process included a related review. The use of budget figures, time estimates, and improvement valuation clearly indicates reliance upon estimates for some data.

Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is primarily based on the Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHRs) that were determined for City personnel directly involved in providing services. The FBHRs include not only personnel salary and benefits (see Appendix B), but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that are included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
 Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
 Operating costs applicable to fee operations
 Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead  Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the 15% de minimis indirect rate An important factor in determining the fully burdened rate is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. This calculation takes the available workable hours in a year of 2,080 and adjusts this figure to 1,650 productive or billable hours to account for calculated or anticipated hours’ employees are involved in non-billable activities such as paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and other considerations as necessary.

Dividing the full cost, including overhead, of a position by the number of productive hours provides the FBHR.

The FBHRs are then used in conjunction with time estimates, when appropriate for how a service is provided, to calculate a fee’s cost based on the personnel and the amount of their time that is involved in providing each service.

Summary Steps of the Study
The process of the study is straightforward and simple in concept. The following list provides a summary of the study process steps:

Allowable Costs
This report identifies three types of costs that, when combined, constitute the fully burdened cost of a service (Appendix A). Costs are defined as
direct labor, including salary and benefits,
departmental overhead costs, and the City’s
central services overhead, where
departmental and central service overhead
costs constitute support costs. These cost
types are defined as follows:
 Direct Labor (Personnel Costs): The
costs related to staff salaries for
time spent directly on fee-related
services.
 Departmental Overhead: A
proportional allocation of
departmental overhead costs,
including operation costs such as
supplies and materials that are necessary for the department to function.  Central Services Overhead: These costs represent services provided by those Central Services Departments whose primary function is to support other City departments.

8 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Methodology
The three methods of analysis for calculating fees used in this report are the:

Case Study Method (Standard Unit Cost Build-Up Approach): This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis is suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service, or for special projects where the time and cost requirements are easy to identify at the project’s outset. Further, the method is effective in instances when a staff member from one department assists on an application, service or permit for another department on an as-needed basis. Costs are estimated based upon interviews with City staff regarding the time typically spent on tasks, a review of available records, and a time and materials analysis.

Program Cost Approach: In some instances, the underlying data is not available or varies widely, leaving a standard unit cost build-up approach impractical. In addition, market factors and policy concerns (as opposed to actual costs) tend to influence rental based fee levels more than other types of services. Willdan employed a different methodology where appropriate to fit a program’s needs and goals. Typical programmatic approach cases are valuation-based fees, Recreation programs, and instances where a program cost is divided over the user base to obtain a per applicant cost for shared cost services.

Valuation Based Fees: This method of collection is used when the valuation of the improvement can be used as a proxy for the amount of effort it would take for City staff to complete the service provided. More specifically, this approach is commonly used for certain User Fees in the Building Division. It is generally accepted that as a project’s size scales up, the cost of the project increases, and the amount of effort needed to review and inspect also increases. Using valuation-based fees provides for a system that can adjust as project sizes scale. Land is not included in the valuation.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
All study components are interrelated, thus flawed data at any step in the process will cause the ultimate results to be inconsistent and unsound. The elements of our Quality Control process for User Fee calculations include:
 Involvement of knowledgeable City staff
 Clear instructions and guidance to City staff
 Reasonableness tests and validation
 Internal and external reviews
 Cross-checking
Reasons for cost increases/decreases over current fees
Within the fee tables in Appendix C, the differences are identified between the full costs calculated through the study and the fee levels currently in effect. The reasons for differences between the two can arise from a number of possible factors including:

Agenda Packet Page 87 of 293
9 Comprehensive User Fee Study
 Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
 Position staffing levels, seniority, and the positions that complete fee and service activity may vary from when the previous costs were calculated
 Personnel and materials costs could have increased at levels that differed from any inflationary factors used to increase fees since the last study
 Changes in processes and procedures within a department, or the City as a whole  Changes in the demand for services in a City may have also changed the staffing or cost structure of departments over time
City Staff Contributions
As part of the study process, Willdan received tremendous support and cooperation from City staff, which contributed and reviewed a variety of components to the study, including:
 Budget and other cost data
 Staffing structures
 Fee and service structures, organization, and descriptions  Direct work hours (billable/non-billable)
 Time estimates to complete work tasks
 Review of draft results and other documentation
A User Fee Study requires significant involvement of the managers and line staff from the departments on top of their existing workloads and competing priorities. The contributions from City staff were critical to this study. We would like to express our appreciation to the City and its staff for their assistance, professionalism, positive attitudes, helpful suggestions, responsiveness, and overall cooperation.

El Cerrito User Fees
Cost Recovery
The cost recovery models, by department/division fee type, are presented in detail in Appendix C. Full cost recovery is determined by summing the estimated amount of time each position (in increments of minutes or hours) spends to render a service. Time estimates for each service rendered were obtained through interviews conducted with City staff for each department/division fee included in the study. The resulting cost recovery amount represents the total cost of providing each service. The City’s current fee being charged for each service, if applicable, is provided in this section, as well, for reference.

It is important to note that the time data used to determine the amount of time each employee spends assisting in the provision of the services listed on the fee schedule is essential in identifying the total cost of providing each service and will differ from City to City depending on staffing, positions involved, experience of staff, the use of consultants, and the policies and procedures in place for each City.

Specifically, in providing services, a number of employees are often involved in various aspects of the process, spending anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on the service.

The primary goal of this study was to identify the cost of City services, to provide information to help the City make informed decisions regarding the actual fee levels and charges. The responsibility of determining the final fee levels is a complicated task. City staff must consider many issues in formulating recommendations, and the City Council must consider those same issues and more in making the final decisions.

City staff assumes the responsibility to develop specific fee level recommendations to present to the City Council. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of El Cerrito, and administrative and political discretion.

However, in setting the level of full cost recovery for each fee, one should consider whether the service solely benefits one end user or the general community.

Subsidization
Recalling the definition of a user fee helps guide decisions regarding subsidization. The general standard is that individuals (or groups) who receive a wholly private benefit should pay 100% of the full cost of the services. In contrast, services that are simply public benefit should be funded entirely by the general fund’s tax dollars. Unfortunately, for the decision makers, some services fall into the range between these two extremes.

Further complicating the decision, opponents of fees often assert that the activities subject to the fees provide economic, cultural, “quality of life,” or other community benefits that exceed the costs to the City, but it is important to distinguish the difference between any purported possible benefits that may be conveyed through the result of activities of the service receiver and the direct benefit being conveyed through the City providing the service to the requestor.

It is recommended the City consider such factors during its deliberations regarding appropriate fee levels.

Agenda Packet Page 89 of 293
11 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Of course, subsidization can be an effective public policy tool since it can be used to reduce fees to encourage certain activities (such as to ensure public safety) or allow some people to be able to afford to receive services they otherwise could not at the full cost. In addition, subsidies can be an appropriate and justifiable action, such as to allow citizens to rightfully access services, without overburdensome costs.

Despite the intent, it is important for the City and public to understand that subsidies must be covered by another revenue source, typically the General Fund’s other unrestricted funds.

Revenue Analysis
The revenue analysis of this User Fee Study Report is intended to provide additional context as a projection of what the fee changes will have in revenue, assuming no participation changes in service requests. The projections are based on the average fee change for each department and evaluates the projected revenue change resulting from suggested fees.

Impact on Demand (Elasticity)
Economic principles of elasticity suggest that increased costs for services (higher fees) will eventually curtail the demand for the services; whereas lower fees may spark an incentive to utilize the services and encourage certain actions. Either of these conditions may be a desirable effect to the City. However, the level of the fees that would cause demand changes is largely unknown. The cost of service study did not attempt to evaluate the economic or behavioral impacts of higher or lower fees; nevertheless, the City should consider the potential impacts of these issues when deciding on fee levels.

Summary
City staff is recommending setting user fees at suggested fee amounts as detailed in Appendix C. City and departmental goals, City Council priorities, policy initiatives, past performance, implementation issues, and other internal and external factors should influence staff recommendations and City Council decisions. In this case, the proper identification of additional services (new or existing services) and the update to a Department / Fee Group

Citywide Services
Citywide Services fees include services provided by the City Manager Department and its subsequent offices such as the City Attorney and City Clerk. Responsibilities of the Department include: Personnel/Employee Relations, Risk Management, Information Technology Systems, public information and outreach, policy development and legislative advocacy, grant management, and retention of all city records and Municipal Elections.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Citywide Services. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of the Citywide Services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, excluding fees set by the State, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most current fees are currently below the full cost of providing services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C.

As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 11 fees;
 1 fee would decrease;
 7 new fees will be added;
 12 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 38% for current fees.

Business License
Business license administration is overseen by the Community Development Department. The Department issues business licenses and parking permits and operates the Rent Registry program. It also provides support and guidance to businesses, working to ensure compliance while supporting business growth and retention efforts citywide.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Business License administration. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of the Business License administration relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that current fees are currently below the full cost of providing services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted to full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 2 fees;
 2 new fees will be added;
 1 fee would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 11% for current fees.

Planning
The Planning Division conducts both current and long-range planning activities to support a healthy, attractive, and resilient built environment. Responsibilities include implementing the General Plan and Specific Plans, performing entitlement reviews, staffing the Planning Commission and Design Review Board, and ensuring land use decisions align with community goals and state mandates.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Planning Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Planning services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved in providing services to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most of the current fees are underfunding the cost of most of the services.

Staff is recommending fees be adjusted to full cost recovery for most Planning services as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 70 fees;
 17 fees would decrease;
 1 new fee will be added;
 15 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 16%

Building
The Building Division provides permit, plan check, and inspection services to ensure all development complies with health and safety standards, including the California Building Code and El Cerrito Municipal Code. The division also collaborates with the Fire Department and implements modern permitting tools such as SolarApp+ for solar permitting.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Building Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Building services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that services are currently set above and below the full cost of providing them. It is recommended that the City adjust fees to full cost recovery for Building services as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 120 fees;
 81 fees would decrease;
 7 new fees will be added;
 40 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be a decrease of 1% for current fees.

In addition to the above referenced fees listed under Building, the Building Permit fees are also provided by this division. For the Building Permit fees, valuation is used as a proxy for measuring the effort needed to provide services on a case-by-case basis. This method is an industry standard widely used by other jurisdictions to evaluate the cost of providing service. It is generally understood that the larger and more complex a project is, the more time and effort that is required to provide the service. Project valuation also follows that trend. By using a combination of either project valuation or historical revenue figures along with a multiplier or cost recovery analysis for historical and anticipated future trends, current cost recovery along with variability in charges due to project type and scale is determined. The result of the cost analysis completed for the Building Permit program found that the program is currently operating at 97% cost recovery based on activity level averages over two years. Staff is recommending that the fees be increased to 100% cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C. A new variation of the Plan Review fee for factory built housing is recommended for adoption, that reduces the 65% Plan Review fee to 55%. The amount of effort required for Building Permit services for factory built housing was determined to be equivalent to other construction types and therefore will be charged the same rate.

Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that current fees are currently not in line with the full cost of providing services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 an increase to 75 fees;
 15 fees would decrease;
 8 fees would remain as currently set;
 1 new fee will be added, and;
 the average estimated fee increase would be around 51%.

Fire
The Fire Department’s mission is to enhance community safety by reducing the loss of life and property and safeguarding the environment through effective response to fires, rescues, medical emergencies, hazardous material incidents, and major disasters. As an all-risk department, this mission is achieved by helping the community reduce the frequency and severity of emergencies through public education programs; enforcing laws, codes, and ordinances related to fire and life safety; abating identified fire hazards on City, private, and other agencies’ properties; and maintaining personnel, apparatus, equipment, and facilities in a constant state of readiness.

The Fire Department organizes resources into four divisions: Fire Prevention, Training, Operations/EMS, and Support Services. Three 56-hour-per-week Battalion Chiefs manage the Fire Prevention, Operations/EMS, and Support Services divisions on a rotating shift basis. One 40-hour-per-week Battalion Chief manages the Training Division. The Fire Chief provides management and oversight for all four divisions.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Fire Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Fire services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved in providing services to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most of the current fees are underfunding the cost of most of the services.

Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 61 fees;
 12 fees would decrease;
 1 new fee will be added;
 14 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 35%

Police
The El Cerrito Police Department (ECPD) provides essential police services to the community. The department is organized into two divisions: Administration and Field Operations. The Department focuses on supporting the core services of emergency response and criminal investigation.

The ECPD partners with State, Federal, and other local agencies to provide services in a cost-effective manner. Notably, the Richmond Police Department provides dispatch services, while the County of Contra Costa provides crime laboratory and animal control services. The Department also assigns officers to the Richmond Police Department Crisis Response Team.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Police Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of the Police services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, excluding violations, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most current fees are below the full cost of providing services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 49 fees;
 20 fees would decrease;
 10 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 The average fee change would be an increase of 15%.

Recreation
The Recreation Department manages a full range of recreational services, special activities, and events for people of all ages and abilities. Staff work to ensure quality customer service in the delivery of programs and services. The Department: Provides childcare, after-school programming, enrichment classes, sports, summer camps, and volunteer opportunities for approximately 4,000 children and teens per year.

Schedules and provides activities and rentals for buildings, picnic areas, sports fields, tennis courts, and the Swim Center. Provides social services and enrichment activities for aging adults through Meals on Wheels, a lunch program, Easy Ride Paratransit, respite programs, and a variety of recreational activities. Ensures that well-rounded aquatic programs are implemented to meet the needs of the community. Provides support to the Committee on Aging, Park and Recreation Commission, and various other city and community organizations, departments, and committees. Works with employees to develop their talents and encourage future leadership. Identifies funding sources and support for the maintenance and enhancement of parks and recreation facilities.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Recreation Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of most Recreation programs encompassed facility rentals and other recreation services. The fee for use for government owned facilities and property can be set discretionally by the City, typically based on past usage characteristics, policy goals, and surrounding jurisdiction comparison. The cost of capital acquisition, maintenance, repair, and upgrade to the City and subsequently the public is offset through rental or use fees. As such these fees should be set using the knowledge of activity use for the facilities, policy desires of the City, and market factors when desirable. It is generally accepted that some Parks and Recreation programs provide a measure of public benefit to the residents and City as a whole, and as such is it common for services to bear significant subsidies. In addition, cities generally want to ensure that their programs and services remain affordable to the community at large, and that the programs remain competitive with surrounding jurisdictions. For a few of the fees in Recreation a standard cost of service approach was used, but some of the additional cost considerations above were not included as this is primarily an operational cost analysis study that does not include considerations for capital. The analysis found that the current fees for facility use and services are below the cost of providing them. The analysis also included a cost recovery analysis for Recreation as a whole and it was determined to be operating at around 51% cost recovery. The suggested fees detailed in Appendix C. would result in:
 An increase for 105 fees;
 4 fees would decrease;
 2 new fees will be added;
 the remaining fees would remain as currently set, and;  The average fee change would be an increase of 3%

Appendix B –Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
Below are fully burdened hourly rates of staff positions that provide for the services detailed in Appendix C. The FBHRs were used to determine the full cost of each service. They include the salary and benefit costs for each position as well as all applicable overhead amounts for each position. When a central service department position works on a fee or project in the purview of an operating department, the overhead rates of the operating department (shown in Appendix A) will be applied to that central service positions’ salary and benefit rate for full cost recovery since indirect overhead cost only applies to non-central service functions of the City. For any user fee service request that is outside the scope of the fees detailed in Appendix C, or for services for which there is no fee currently set, the City can charge up to the full cost of the FBHR for personnel involved.

Appendix C – Cost Recovery Analysis
The following tables provide the results of the analysis, resulting full cost recovery amount, and recommended fees. For fees, services, and penalties in which the full cost, existing fee, and suggested fee is listed as “NA”, the amount or percentage was not calculable. This is most common when either the current or the suggested fee includes a variable component that is not comparable on a one-to-one basis, a full cost was not calculated (for penalties, fines, market-based fees, or items not included in the study), or when there is not a current fee amount to compare against.

The Planning Manager may determine a project to be unusually complex or time consuming and require a deposit at the time of application for estimated staff, consultant, and City Attorney costs. If a standard fee has previously been paid, additional deposits may be required to cover extraordinary costs resulting from unforeseen complexities, delays or extra meetings. Hourly staff costs are based on employee wages and benefits, overhead, equipment and supervision, as determined by the City’s Cost Allocation Study. Charges for third-party consultants will equal actual contract costs plus 30% administrative charge. Fees for entitlements requiring a public hearing and other similar applications include one review of the initial application submittal and review of up to two resubmittals. Review of additional resubittals will incur additional fees based on staff time. 34 Agenda Packet Page 113 of 293

RESOLUTION 2025-XX

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CERRITO ADOPTING REVISIONS TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 WHEREAS, El Cerrito Municipal Code Section 4.01.010 requires that prior to July 1st of each year, the City Council shall consider and adopt the schedule of all general and special fees and charges to be known as the Master Fee Schedule; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to update currently established fees to cover City costs, including inflation, which form the basis for the majority of the changes in keeping with City Council policy direction. After proposed adjustments, the fee amounts will not exceed the City’s costs of providing the services for which the fees are charged; and
WHEREAS, utilizing a rounding factor provides ease to our customers and our staff in the payment of these fees; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Municipal Code requires that Business License Taxes be revised based on the percent change from the February 1988 figure of 117.0 in the Revised Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area as published by the Department of Labor for the month of February prior to the fiscal year in which the rate adjustment is applicable; and WHEREAS, adjustments to market-driven fees and service charges consider factors to keep those fees and charges comparable to those charged by entities providing similar services; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing has been noticed and held in accordance with Government Code Sections 6062a, 66016, 66017 and 66018.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of El Cerrito that it hereby adopts the fees and services charges in the Proposed Master Fee Schedule for the City of El Cerrito (as shown in Exhibit A), which is hereby attached and by this reference made a part hereof, for FY 2025-26.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of El Cerrito hereby confirms the adjustments to the Business License Tax rates, also as appearing in the Master Fee Schedule.

The Planning Manager may determine a project to be unusually complex or time consuming and require a deposit at the time of application for estimated staff, consultant, and City Attorney costs. If a standard fee has previously been paid, additional deposits may be required to cover extraordinary costs resulting from unforeseen complexities, delays or extra meetings. Hourly staff costs are based on employee wages and benefits, overhead, equipment and supervision, as determined by the City’s Cost Allocation Study. Charges for third-party consultants will equal actual contract costs plus 30% administrative charge. Fees for entitlements requiring a public hearing and other similar applications include one review of the initial application submittal and review of up to two resubmittals. Review of additional resubittals will incur additional fees based on staff time.

User Fee Study
City of El Cerrito
Agenda Item No. 8.B.

Attachment 4
Agenda Packet Page 193 of 293
2 What are User Fees
 Provide private benefit with limited or no
community benefit
 State law requires that 1) individual use of
the service must be voluntary, and 2) fees
must reasonably relate to the services
provided
 Fee levels & cost recovery determined
through City Council fee adoption
 Does not include development impact fees,
utility rates, taxes, etc.

Agenda Packet Page 194 of 293
3 Why Update User Fees
 Subsidies in services impact the General Fund
o Private & specific benefit services are subsidized by unobligated funding sources
o Reduces ability to fund general & community
benefits
 Decreased department funding typically results in
understaffing and reduces service quality
 Cost recovery knowledge and planning
o Provides clarity pressures on City resources
o Enables City to strategize and set fees to benefit of the City and community
o State requirements for reasonable cost-based fees
Agenda Packet Page 195 of 293
4 User Fee Objectives & Steps
 Determine full cost of providing services or programs o Review fee schedules based on service delivery
o Identify potential new fees (not currently collected) o Reduce or remove fees
o Using fully-burdened rates, calculate full cost recovery  Update fees for services based on cost analysis
o Incorporate or establish cost recovery goals
 Subsidies allow access to services and facilitate compliance o Identify appropriate fee levels that:
 Enhance reasonability and applicability
 Maintain consistency with local policies and objectives  Maintain legal compliance with state law

18 Policy Considerations
 General standard: individuals or groups who receive
private benefit from service should pay 100% of cost
 In certain situations, subsidization is an effective
public policy tool:
oEncourage participation, and provide access to services oPromote compliance when cost is prohibitive to residents  Recommend that City utilize inflation factor to
annually adjust fees based on CPI, MOU, or another
factor
 Comprehensive analysis every 5 years

Date: May 20, 2025
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Karen Pinkos, City Manager; Crystal Reams, Finance Director/City Treasurer, Finance Department
Subject: Consideration of Fiscal Year 2024-25 One-Time Uses of General Fund Balance

ACTION PROPOSED
Consideration and direction on potential one-time expenditures from General Fund balance in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

BACKGROUND
The City ended Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 with a General Fund balance of $22.89 million. This total includes:
• $9,000,000 in the Emergency Disaster Relief Fund (EDRF) (internally restricted) • $1,372,890 in the Section 115 Trust (restricted)
• $126,751 in prepaid/inventory (non-spendable)
During FY 2024-25, the City Council has approved a total use of fund balance of $1.09 million. The projected ending General Fund balance total is $21.8 million, representing a 40% fund balance ratio. Per the Comprehensive Financial Policy, the City's General Fund reserve ratio requirement totals 30%: a minimum 17% of unassigned fund balance ($9.14 million), with the EDRF minimum reserve requirement at 13% ($6.99 million).

Currently, the EDRF is overfunded by $2.01 million.

The projected General Fund balance is shown in the table below:

Agenda Packet Page 213 of 293
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

For FY 2025-26, the General Fund expenditure budget is proposed to total $53.76 million. Per the Policy, similar to the previous fiscal year numbers, this would mean the following minimum requirements for the General Fund reserve balance:
• General Fund (17%): $9.14 million
• EDRF (13%) $6.99 million
• Total reserve minimum requirement: $16.13 million
With a projected General Fund balance that exceeds the minimum requirements, staff has identified a discretionary total of $2.1 million. On April 15, 2025, the City Council held a study session to discuss the potential use of the discretionary fund balance to address one-time expenditure needs including vehicles, equipment and time-sensitive projects. The City Council reviewed the various proposed expenditures and discussed priorities, and directed staff to return with options using $1,000,000 of the discretionary total.

ANALYSIS
Based on the City Council's discussion on April 15, City staff have reviewed and prioritized the most urgent needs for the City Council's review: the Swim Center Pool Replaster, the Fire Engine and Equipment Replacement, the Service Delivery Study, and the Section 115 Trust, as described below.
• Swim Center Pool Replaster
In February of this year, staff observed that some cracks in the pool plaster that were being monitored in the shallow section of the Emery G. Weed, III Lap Pool (Lap Pool) had expanded into a “bubble” of significant size. A bubble forms in pool plaster when water gets in between the plaster and concrete shell through cracks causing the surface to lift or bulge, creating a visible bubble that continues to expand. Eventually a portion of the bubble burst leaving large pieces of plaster completely separated from the concrete shell below. Because this represents a safety hazard and additional pressure on this area would cause the damage to expand faster, this area has been closed off to swimmers.

To assess the damage and plan for repairs, staff engaged the aquatic design and engineering firm RSM (who designed the Activity Pool Project in 2023) to provide a cost estimate, project scope and construction timeline. Their report identified additional issues including significant signs of deterioration in the pool deck such as cracks in the cement and rust that will need to be addressed soon as well. It was also determined that including the water slide installation in this project would result in significant savings versus doing these projects separately. The full scope of this project will further require full ADA and egress compliance according to the California Building Code. RSM also identified the opportunity to convert the existing cantilever gutters in the shallow end of the Lap Pool into deck level gutters, which provides important safety benefits in addition to making this portion of the Lap Pool more family-friendly. Cost estimates for the full scope described above, and detailed below, are approximately $3.4 million.

Agenda Item No. 9.A.

Item Price
Lap Pool Demolition $111,750
Lap Pool Repair (plaster & tile) $569,000
Deck Replacement $253,872
Required Equipment Upgrades $1,500
Optional Equipment Upgrades $112,400 (not included in
total below)
Waterslide* $50,000
ADA & Egress Upgrades $877,800
Contractor Costs $526,037
Soft Costs $611,391
Total: $3,001,350
Total w/ 15% Contingency
$3,451,053
*placeholder; waiting for confirmation from architect on estimated cost If the project is phased and only a replaster of the Lap Pool is completed in the first phase, the project cost would be approximately $400,000. In this scenario, the balance of the work in next phase can likely only be delayed 1 to 2 years to remain in compliance with the Contra Costa Health Department operating permit requirements due to the scale of the identified issues. It is also worth noting that the Lap Pool plaster, installed in 2003, has exceeded the typical 15–20 year lifecycle. Staff are looking into funding options for the full total for the City Council to consider at a future meeting. This may include using additional fund balance and/or borrowing and finance options.
• Fire Engine and Equipment Replacement
Type 1 Fire engine
The City's Type 1 fire engine, housed at Station 52, is beyond its expected useful life of 15 years. The purchase of a new fire engine typically happens in three phases: 1) the ordering and quote, 2) the arrival of the cab and chassis, and 3) the completion of the engine including equipment. The City currently has an estimate from our vendor, Hi-Tech Fire Equipment, for $1,428,245 plus roughly $200,000 for equipment for a total of $1,628,245. If the City completes Phase 1 and orders an Engine in 2025, Phase 2 should be complete in 2026, when the cab and chassis arrive. At this time, the City will owe roughly 50% of the total cost of the engine, or approximately $800,000. Hi-Tech estimates they can complete Phase 3 of the engine build in 2027, at which time the City will owe the remaining balance. In summary, if the City orders a fire engine in 2025, the engine should be completed in 2027 with two payments of approximately $800,000 in 2026 and 2027. All prices can fluctuate with tariff adjustments.

Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
The Fire Department's SCBAs were purchased in 2013 and have a mandated maximum life span of 15 years, which means they must be replaced by 2028. The City's latest estimate for replacement was $400,000. The SCBAs should be ordered in 2027 to ensure delivery and implementation by the end of 2028. The purchase amount is due at the time of delivery. All prices can fluctuate with tariff adjustments.

Agenda Packet Page 215 of 293
Agenda Item No. 9.A.

Staff are actively seeking grants to fund these items as well as other safety equipment and projects. Any funding allocated to these items would be set aside in the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund, an internal service fund (ISF) to save for such purchases and/or provide matching funds in the event of a grant award.
• Service Delivery Study
The Service Delivery Study is intended to be an investment in professional services that will provide the City Council and staff with options for long-term operational savings. It is one of the projects, along with the Classification and Compensation Study and the Cost Allocation and Fee Study, that were identified as part of the Fiscal Recovery and Sustainability Plan that has guided the City to financial stability, and was submitted to the State Auditor prior to the City being removed from the high-risk program. The Study will review operations and service levels, conduct an organizational assessment, and develop recommendations for improvement in service delivery and cost savings and sustainability. This will allow the City Council and staff to address structural deficits and continue to right-size the budget, which is especially important in this volatile economy. City staff conducted a Request for Proposals for qualified firms and are in the process of identifying the firm that will perform the Study, and once a contract is negotiated will be brought to the City Council for approval. The estimated cost is $120,000 and the timeline for the Study would be approximately 6-8 months. • Section 115 Trust
The Section 115 Trust may be used for annual Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) costs as well as Normal Pension Costs. As shown in the presentation to the City Council on May 20, 2025 by NHA Advisors, the Trust holds $1.4M of assets as of March 31, 2025. The Trust allows for more aggressive investment strategies to allow for greater investment returns. As costs continue to rise, it is a desire of the City to continue to take action on cost management strategies for pension costs.

CalPERS projections include substantial increases to our UAL pension contribution payments starting FY 2028 through FY 2036; the Section 115 Trust could be used to smooth out the pension costs. NHA Advisors has provided the City Council with examples in their presentation on scenarios for cost smoothing that would allow the City to better project annual payments using funds from the Trust. While the Council has taken steps to fund the Trust over the past two years from General Fund balance and/or surplus funds, NHA has shown that a higher contribution would net higher investment returns for the Trust and provide a better smoothing level.

SCENARIOS AND OPTIONS
Staff is providing three options for the City Council to consider for use of one-time funds from the General Fund balance for investment in the proposed projects. These key investments would start to address the City's most urgent needs at this time. Scenario 1 provides a proposed $1 million investment and Scenario 2 provides a proposed $1.5 million investment, using a portion of the $2.1 million discretionary General Fund balance, for the City Council's consideration. None of these scenarios or options would Agenda Packet Page 216 of 293
Agenda Item No. 9.A.
reduce the General Fund reserve below the 30% threshold (17% for unassigned General Fund and 13% for EDRF). It is important to note that while these are staff's proposed recommendations, the funding amounts in any category and for any purpose are ultimately at the discretion and direction of the City Council, and the City Council may choose (or not) to allocate any amount they wish.

Scenario 1: $1 million
This scenario proposes the Pool Replaster be allocated $500,000. Along with approximately $400,000 in Measure H funds, this provides close to $1 million to start the project including design and the replastering at a minimum. The Fire Engine/Equipment replacement would be funded at $180,000, which would provide a minimal contribution; however this item would still require additional funding next fiscal year to meet the down payment. This scenario proposes $120,000 for the Service Delivery Study and a contribution of $200,000 to the Section 115 Trust.

Scenario 2: $1.5 million
Staff is offering a second option with an additional allocation of $500,000 to total a $1.5 million investment. This scenario would keep the Pool Replaster contribution at $500,000 and Service Delivery Study at $120,000. However, additional funding of $400,000 would be allocated to the Fire Engine/Equipment Replacement to ensure a higher level of contribution to the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement fund that would go toward the down payment of the engine. An additional $100,000 would be allocated to the Section 115 Trust for a total of $300,000 which would match the previous Fiscal Year contribution to the Trust.

The third scenario for consideration would be a blend of allocating funds from the General Fund balance for projects and a transfer some of the overfunded portion of the EDRF to be used for a contribution to the Section 115 Trust. As previously noted, the EDRF is overfunded by $2.01 million per the Comprehensive Financial Policy minimum requirement of 13% of General Fund expenditures, which is currently $6.99 million. If Agenda Packet Page 217 of 293
Agenda Item No. 9.A.
the City Council chose to reduce the EDRF by $1 million to contribute to the Section 115 Trust, this would allow the request of $1.5 million in one-time appropriations from the General Fund discretionary fund balance to go toward additional funding for the Pool Replaster and Fire Engine/Equipment Replacement projects. This option would leave the EDRF at $8 million, which is still overfunded per the Policy. If the City Council elected to use this scenario, in effect the allocation would be $2.5 million in total, as shown below.

Scenario 3: $1.5 million and $1 million EDRF Transfer
As noted, all proposed scenarios are projected to maintain, and exceed, the minimum reserve requirements totaling 30% of General Fund expenditures (17% for unassigned fund balance and 13% for EDRF). The following tables below show an updated General Fund projected fund balance using both Scenarios 2 and 3, should the City Council decide to move forward with either option.

Agenda Item No. 9.A.

Projected General Fund Balance - Scenario 3

NEXT STEPS
Staff requests that the City Council consider these scenarios, and provide direction by motion as to how to allocate any use of General Fund balance. Again, the amount of the allocations (if any) are at the discretion of the City Council. If Council provides direction by motion, staff will make any updates based on City Council feedback and will return with a resolution at the June meeting to take action to appropriate the funds. Going forward in the budget process, staff will provide City Council and FAB the Proposed FY 2025-26 Budget/Spending Authority by May 22, 2025 and expect that the FAB will review the FY 2025-26 budget at their May meeting. Final adoption of the budget and spending authority for FY 2025-26 must be completed by June 30, 2025.

Dear Mayor Wysinger and City Council Members Quinto, Motoyama, Salzman and Ktsanes:

RE: RICHMOND STREET PROJECT
I have been a resident of El Cerrito for 31 years. I live on Everett Street, one block east of Richmond Street and two blocks west of Korematsu School.

I am very concerned about the proposal for the Richmond Street Project, or at least plans that I have heard for it. I think there are a lot of issues that will make our streets harder to navigate and have negative impacts on residents — both on and near Richmond Street.
1) PROBLEMS WITH PARKING
—The Richmond Street Project will remove half the parking for a large part of Richmond Street. This will cause spill-over parking onto nearby streets, especially Elm Street and Everett Street (where I live).
— The Richmond Street Project will mean that half the residents of the street, on the east side or west side (depending on the block) will not be able to park on the street or have as easy access their house, for example, to bring in groceries, or to assist a disabled or elderly resident.
—Due to the daylighting efforts on all the streets, not just Richmond Street, we are already losing 20 feet of parking on each side of the street at both ends. This is already a significant amount of reduced street parking.
—When Korematsu Middle School gets out, at 3 PM on weekdays, there are significant traffic and parking issues on Everett and Norvell Streets, especially around Donal Street. Of course, we want the students to be safe as they walk to BART, the bus, or their parents’ cars. However, the spill-over from the Richmond Street Project will make it more congested and dangerous on the streets leading to and from Korematsu School. 2) PROBLEMS WITH DRIVING
—Richmond Street is my main thoroughfare through town. San Pablo Avenue is too congested for several hours a day I take Richmond Street to get to El Cerrito Plaza, Christ Lutheran Senior Center, El Cerrito Natural Grocery and other frequent destinations. I think it is unwise to insert a zig-zag (“chicane”) route through town that will be confusing, especially to seniors and out-of-town people. I have driven on such routes in Berkeley. They are hard to navigate if you don’t know the neighborhood. —We have an example of extended street construction with the work on San Pablo Avenue in the past two years. This is another reason that I am dreading the Richmond Street Project. The more changes you make to the street, the longer the street will be tied up in construction and traffic blockage.
3) USE OF RICHMOND STREET FOR BICYCLES:

Why does El Cerrito need another bike route? Quite a few people ride bikes on Everett Street and currently this is still a reasonably safe route for them.
