ANALYSIS
The City’s annual budget process begins around December each yea r with an update of the budgetary forecast and the General Fund Multi-Year Financial Plan. The financial forecast takes a look forward at the City’s General Fund revenues and expenditures. Its purpose is to identify financial trends, shortfalls, and potential issues so the City can proactively address them. It does so by projecting out into the future the fiscal results of continuing the City’s current service levels and policies, which provides a snapshot of what the future will look like as a result of those policies.
Operating revenue has not kept pace with the growing costs of providing City services, and as a result the General Fund long-term financial plan has projected annual deficits creating a structural budget deficit .
To address this projected shortfall, the City has maintained a hardline on expendi tures and staff are continuously seeking measures that ensure efficiency, while enhancing basic operations . Revenue - generating opportunities have also been explored. In addition, s ince the Great Recession, the City has controlled costs by annually defer ring maintenance and capital project costs . Despite all of these measures, and the City’s efforts to fund projects with grants and other sources of one -time funds, it has not been enough to meet growing costs and demand for services.
Last fiscal year, t he FY2023/24 General Fund operating budget started with a net operating deficit of $11,295,840. In order to continue to provide essential City services, staff made recommendations to close the deficit that included a combination of using reserve balances as well as deferring major purchases to future years. Until revenue is increased on an ongoing and structural basis, the City must continue to rely on short-term, one-time resources to continue operations and avoid substantial cuts to City services. With no funding plan or known option for replenishment, the reserves in Internal Service Funds will be depleted in the upcoming fiscal years. As the budget becomes tighter, to ensure budget savings, the Historical Cost Savings Target will be stricter leading to slower hiring of positions. In addition, American Rescue Plan Act funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024, and will no longer be a source of revenue for the General Fund.
There are also many much-needed items that are not included in the FY2023/24 proposed budget:
- critical infrastructure, equipment and vehicle, and repair needs - deferred maintenance of current facilities and parks
- ongoing maintenance of new assets being added to the community - underfunding reserve accounts
- ability to continue supporting community organizations and events - addressing organizational capacity issues
339
Item9.
In addition to the above, high priorities from the community are not being addressed. The City continues to strive to provide the level of service residents expect and deser ve, but given the structural General Fund deficit, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to do so.
In keeping with our commitment to long -term planning, staff will continue to provide financial recommendations based on realistic revenue projections , risk assessments, and prudent spending to ensure a stable financial position.
USER AND REGULATORY FEE STUDY
On June 5, 2024, a User and Regulatory Fee Study Workshop was held. City Council was provided with the results of a User Fee Study prepared by ClearSource Financial Consulting. The fee schedule is attached as Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 2024-72 and can be adopted by City Council on June 19, 2024. Exhibit “A” includes a three-year phased approach to reach full cost recovery for fees that provide a direct benefit, with the exception of Recreation Program fees which were adjusted to reach 50 percent cost recovery.
The new revenue to the General Fund is projected to rea ch $1,270,000 in year 1 with these fee adjustments.
Based on feedback from the City Council on June 5, 2024, two additional fee schedules are attached as options for future City Council adoption . With the direction received at this meeting (Budget Public Hearing on June 19 ), staff will prepare a new Public Hearing Notice with the proposed fee schedule in compliance with noticing requirements under California Government Code:
1) Option 1 adjusts all direct benefit user fees to a minimum of 80 percent of full cost recovery in year 1 and 100 percent full cost recovery by year 2. Recreation fees have been adjusted to be closer to full cost recovery, but within the regional comparisons. 2) Option 2 adjusts all direct benefit user fees to 100 percent full cost recovery in year 1, including recreation program fees.
FY2024/25 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET
As noted above, the FY2023/24 General Fund operating budget started with a net operating deficit of $11,295,84. Staff recommendations to close the b udget deficit included a combination of using reserve balances as well as deferring major purchases to future years; however, this did not address the structural budget deficit which was projected to be about $11.3 million in FY2024/25.
To address the predicted structural budget gap for the upcoming fiscal year, departments were directed to submit their FY2024/25 General Fund operating budget at the same level as the prior year, FY2023/24, while prioritizing the City Council’s Essential Services and Counc il Priorities. As a result of departments minimizing their budgeted expenses and the additional actions described below, the proposed FY2024/25 General Fund Operating Budget is closed without the use of Reserve Funds. 340
Item9.
Library Management Agreement – ($3,033,490). On January 31, 2024, City Council approved the use of American Rescue Plan Act Funds for the FY2024/25 and FY2025/26 Management Agreement with LS&S.
This reduced General Fund expenses by $3,033,490 in FY2024/25 and sustains library operations for two fiscal years during which alternative revenue sources can be sought in order to sustain library operations on a longer-term basis. Beyond this action, there is no future funding for this service.
California Center for the Arts, Escondido (CCAE) Management Agreement – ($1,837,330). On January 31, 2024 , City Council approved the use of American Rescue Plan Act Funds for the FY2024/25 Management Agreement with the Foundation and Utilities. The allocation of $1,837,330 will be provided to the CCAE to fund their Management Fee and utilities costs. This allows the ad -hoc Council CCAE Subcommittee and the CCAE Board time to develop a recommendation for how to proceed in future fiscal years. It also eliminates almost $2 million from FY2025’s projected $11.3 million structural budget deficit.
Beyond this action, there is no future funding for this service.
Humane Society Contract – ($857,570). The City has a contract with the San Diego Human Society for animal control services, which expires December 31, 2024. The FY2024/25 operating budget includes resources needed to fund the contract through its expiration dat e. Staff will return to City Council in August to review options for next steps after expiration of the existing contract.
Elimination of 10 Full-Time Vacant Positions – ($915,000). The FY2024/25 operating budget also includes the elimination of 10 full -time vacant positions from various departments which reduced employee service expenses by $915,000.
Primary Cost Drivers in FY2024/25. Offsetting these budget reductions are several categories of expenses that impacted all General Fund departments and include the following:
a. Utility Allocations. As part of the City’s ongoing review of how the City allocates expenses to the Utility Funds, allocations out to the Water and Wastewater funds were updated based on each fund’s total percentage of the operating budget.
b. CalPERS Payments. Every year, the City and employees contribute to CalPERS to pay for future retirement benefits. CalPERS expenses for FY2024/25 include a Normal Cost, based on a percentage of employee salaries. CalPERS determines the Normal Cost rate annually based on actuarial assumptions. The percentage contribution rates required by CalPERS decreased slightly from the prior year from 11.55 percent to 11.16 percent for the Miscellaneous Plan and 22.84 percent to 22.13 percent for the Safety Plan. The CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability Payment increased this fiscal year by $1,509,070 for the General Fund. c. Insurance Premiums. The City’s Property and General Liability Insurance are provided through a risk sharing pooled program with PRISM, Public Risk Innovation Solutions and Management, where annual premiums and assessments are approved by th e Board of Directors. Property Insurance premiums are anticipated to increase by $576,000 and General Liability premiums will 341
Item9.
increase by $561,000. In addition, all available Reserve funds were used in FY2023/24 resulting in an increase in resources needed from the General Fund in FY2024/25.
Public Safety Vehicle Replacements. To help alleviate budget shortages, available resources in the Fleet Fund have been used to balance prior year budgets. Since the Great Recession that began in FY2009/10, the Fleet Services Fund has minimized budgetary impacts to the General Fund by defer ring purchases, reducing allocations, and using reserve balances. To address last fiscal year’s budget deficit , the Fleet Services Fund reduce d the number of vehicles to be replaced and use d all available resources from reserves.
In order to replace critical public safety vehicles, the staff recommendation is to utilize GEMT Paramedic Transportation revenue for the purchase of three ambulances at a cost of $960,000 and to utilize available resources in the Worker’s Compensation Fund for the purchase of thirty-nine Police Department vehicles totaling $2,493,500.
OPTIONAL BUDGET ADDITION – Expansion of the Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (“COPPS”) Unit. At the February 28, 2024 , City Council meeting, staff provided a Review of City Data Regarding Homelessness. Deputy Mayor Garcia requested information on the resources that would be needed to expand the City’s COPPS unit. As reported during the May 22, 2024 , Operating Budget Workshop, an expansion of the unit would require the following items, totaling $1,259,790 in year 1:
addition of 4 police officers, 4 patrol cars, safety equipment and patrol supplies, 2 maintenance technicians for the Public Works debris crew, and 1 truck. These expenses have not been included in the FY2024/25 Operating Budget but w ith City Council approval of the Budget Adjustment listed as Attachment “1” the expenses will be added to the FY2024/25 Operating Budget.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING FEES FOR CERTAIN
SERVICES AND PERMITS AND THE REMOVAL OF FEES FOR
SERVICES NO LONGER USED
WHEREAS, the City of Escondido charges user fees (“User Fees ”) for services and permits (“Services”); and
WHEREAS, current service User Fees charged for the City's Services do not adequately recoup the City's costs of providing certain Services and thus, a significant amount of these costs are currently paid out of the City's general fund and, therefore, borne by the general public; and WHEREAS, City staff has conducted an extensive analysis of its Services, the costs actually and reasonably borne by the City in provided those Services, the beneficiaries of those Se rvices, and the revenues produced by those paying User Fees and charges for special Services. Based on the ClearSource Financial Consulting User Fee Study and the updated information, City staff recommends increases in certain existing fees, addition of new fees and removal of fees no longer required; and WHEREAS, pursuant to State law, the City is empowered to impose fees covering up to 100 percent of the actual costs of providing Services to applicants; and WHEREAS, Stae law allows local agencies to charge fees for various activities as long as those fees do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs of provided the service for which the fee is intended; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 66016 requires notice to be given and data made available at specified times prior to the adoption of increases in existing rates, fees, and charges, or the adoption of new rates, fees, and charges for use permits and building inspections sometime hereinafter at a public meeting of this City Council; and
418
Item9.
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 66018 requires notice to be published in accordance with California Government Code Section 6062a and data made available concerning rates, fees, and charges prior to conducting a public hearing with respect to the adoption of increases in rates, fees, and charges, or the adoption of new rates, fees, and charges for which no other procedure is provided by law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to State law, the City Council has conducted and conclu ded a duly noticed public hearing with respect to the rates, fees, and charges prior to the adoption of this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires that annually the City Manager, or City Manager designee may update the fees baed on the prior year annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) adjustments as measured in San Diego County for a given year. If the CPI does not change or goes down in a given year, no change shall be made to the fee schedule that year unless a public hearing is held to consider amendment of fees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires at this time and deems it to be in the best public interest to adopt the adjustments in certain existing User Fees and add new User Fees, as presented in Exhibit “A,” which is attached to this Resolution and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Escondido, California , as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true.
2. The City Council finds that providing City Services is of special benefit to applicants both separate and apart from the general benefit to the public; and therefore, in the interests of fairness to the general public, the City desires to better recover the costs of providing these Services from applicants 419
Item9.
who have sought the City's Services by revising its schedule of fees. The City User Fees are initially based upon the information contained in the ClearSource Financial Consulting User Fee Study to reflect the actual costs incurred by the City in providing these Services.
3. That the City Council approves the City User Fees contained in Exhibit “A.”
4. That the City User Fees shall be effective on September 1, 2024.
5. It is the desire of the City Council that all fees and charges for services, programs or products be set forth in one document for ease of reference. Accordingly, any and all provisions of prior Resolutions of the City Council establishing or modifying fee s for the Services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit “ A,” are hereby repealed and replaced as of the effective date of this Resolution in the manner set forth in Exhibit “A;” provided, however, that such repeal shall not excuse or affect the failure of any person or entity to pay any fee heretofore imposed upon such person or entity. The City Council desires to clarify that in adopting this Resolution, it is taking action o nly on those User F ees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit “A,” which have been modified from prior resolutions of the City Council or are established as new fees. The remaining fees that have not been modified from prior resolutions shall remain in full force and effect.
6. Environmental Exemption. The adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA,” Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), because it approves and sets forth a procedure for determining fees for the purpose of meeting the operating expenses of City departments, as set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8)(A). 420

CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF ESCONDIDO 2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
STUDY OVERVIEW
The City of Escondido has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study. California cities regularly conduct these studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services.
Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.
USER AND REGULATORY FEES
Cities derive annual revenue from a numbe r of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by the City for providing fee-related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.
California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee-related services and activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees charged shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services, activities, or materials for which fees are charged.
COST RECOVERY POLICY AND PRACTICE
Recovering the costs of providing fee -related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.
The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involveme nt in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that service . When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual bears the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.
A sample of cost recovery policy information is included on the following page.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
COST RECOVERY
THRESHOLD CHARACTERISTIC OF THE SERVICE / ACTION
“NONE”
No Recovery of
the Costs of
Service
• Acute interest in protecting:
- Public safety
- Integrity of City infrastructure, assets, and operations - Vulnerable populations
• Collection of fees is not feasible or cost-effective
“VERY LOW”
Up to 25% of the
Full Cost of
Service
• Though characteristics of the service yield great public benefits, some level of fee on the individual is warranted to recognize value of the service provided and to support desired outcomes in either process or behavior
• Individualized service particularly relates to or impacts vulnerable populations • Services stem from community-led initiatives or events
“LOW”
26% to 50% of
the Full Cost of
Service
• The broader public greatly benefits from the individual service provided • Larger fee amounts may discourage compliance with City requirements • Market sensitivities may negatively impact demand for services deemed important to the character of the community
• City policy directs an influence on fee amounts for:
- Concern for low-income participation
- Concern for specific sectors, such as owner-occupied residences or small business - Priority for resident participation, versus non-resident
“MODERATE”
Greater than 50%
of the Full Cost of
Service
• While the individual benefits greatly from service provided, public benefit or public interest in compliance/participation is present
• Factors described in lower thresholds retain some influence • Though service benefits the individual to a high degree, fee levels should be sensitive to the encouragement of current City initiatives
“FULL”
100% of the Full
Cost of Service
• Service benefits the individual to a great degree
• Service is highly regulatory
• Fee amounts do not materially impact compliance or demand • Fee amounts for comparable service are in line with other regional communities • The City discourages the activity
“PENALTY”
Greater than Full
Cost
• Must be a fine/penalty for non-compliance with City code

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FINDINGS AND PROPOSED ACTION
During the course of study, information and analysis was generated and is discussed substantively throughout this report and its technical appendices. However, summarized in the following findings statements by broad fee category, are outcomes and proposals of particular interest to City policymakers.
• Development-related and operational permitting fees are proposed for adjustment to more closely align to the City’s cost of service.
o Building Fees: target full cost recovery
o Current Planning Fees, Engineering Fees, and Fire Prevention Fees: Generally, target full cost recovery for most services. However, initial fee adjustments have been capped in order to phase -in fee increases where more than 50% adjustment to costs would be required.
• Community Services Rental Fees are recommended for adjustment. o Proposed adjustments continue to prioritize the City’s residents and non-profit renters by providing reduced rental rates for those users as opposed to non -resident and commercial users.
• Public Works Fees have been calculated to allow the City to fully recover the costs of:
o Special event support provided by Public Works staff. o Over street banner hanging.
• Police Fees are collected for certain discrete services required/requested. Many police fees are limited by State Law. For fees set by the City, fee amounts have been adjusted to reflect the City’s cost of service. Fees for police range facilities are also proposed for adjustment. Facility rental rates are based on the market demand for reserved facility use.
• Utility Service Fees (Non-rate fees) are proposed to be adjusted to reflect the City’s current costs of service. Several of these fee -related services, require materials (e.g., meters) that have increased in costs over the last several years. These material cost increases are reflected in the proposed fees.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Regional Fee Comparison
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in -range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions.
In order to provide the City Council with additional information as it considers potential adjustments to fees, current and proposed fees were compared to amounts collected by other agencies . For sampling purposes the fee comparison examined fees for:
• City of San Marcos
• City of Oceanside
• City of Poway
• City of Vista
• Other California Cities (Southern, Central, Northern CA) with populations greater than 100,000
Of note:
• The City of Poway’s most recent building fee update was in 2014 (i.e., 10 years ago) • The City of San Marcos’s most recent fee update appears to be 2001 (i.e., 20+ years ago) • The City of Vista updates fees annually to reflect inflationary changes • San Marcos, Oceanside, and San Diego use alternative structure for calculating building fees that doesn’t allow for apples-to-apples comparison.
The City of Escondido, consistent with other cities throughout the State, has an existing fee schedule that contemplates hundreds of potential unique requests for service. This can result in thousands of fee scenarios when comparing among multiple agencies. Consequently, an exhaustive comparison of the hundreds, and potentially thousands of scenarios is unrealistic. Instead, comparison information for several targeted fee categories (e.g., high volume categories, fee categories of particular interest to community, etc.) are provided in order to provide City Council with a reasonable sense of changes expected.
For Escondido, outcomes will show that new fees may range from mid, to upper end of regional fee spectrum depending on the service provided. This is common among municipalities due to differing levels of service and review included among various fee categories.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fiscal Impact
The anticipated fiscal impact of the proposed changes included in the fee schedule update is $1,270,000.
Fairly allocating costs to the services provided and recovering some, or all, of these costs from service recipients creates value and predictability for City customers and reimburses the City for services provided to a single party, as compared to the public at large. Collecting fees for services:
Increases the availability of General Fund revenues to be used for services and activities available to all residents and businesses, such as public safety and public works services. Helps meet fee-payer service level expectations by collecting fees to fund the existing level of services provided.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
SCOPE OF STUDY
The City of Escondido has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study, which represents an external review of prevailing practices and development of a n updated Schedule of User Fees and Charges .
ClearSource Financial Consulting has prepared this analysis during Fiscal Year 2023/24 and will be available to answer questions as the City proceeds in implementing findings as it chooses.
Key tasks expected by the City from this study included the following:
Review eligible fee-related services citywide to establish the reasonable relationship between current fees for service and the underlying costs of service.
Calculate the full cost of service, including estimated citywide overhead costs. Recommend fees to be charged for each service.
Recommend cost recovery strategies and best practices in setting fees, while considering the complexities and demands of responsible programs or departments. Identify underlying billable rates for cost recovery opportunities and as the basis for user fees. Maintain a thoroughly documented analysis to ensure compliance with Proposition 26, and other statutes, as applicable.
DIRECT SERVICES UNDER REVIEW
Fee Categories
City fees under review in this project focused on direct services eligible for user fee methodology, as listed in the City’s published fee schedules. Current services shown in the City’s various prevailing fee schedules and addressed in this study are summarized as follows:
Planning – Services include entitlement review and permitting. Engineering – Services include encroachment permitting, development plan review and inspection. Building – Building plan review, permitting, and inspection for construction and sub-trades. Fire Fees – Review of construction and operations for compliance with Fire Code. Police Fees – For vehicle impound, special service requests, and administrative processing.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
REASON FOR STUDY
Cities derive annual revenue from a numbe r of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by a c ity for providing fee -related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.
California cities regularly conduct fee studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall body of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Widespread industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues for servic es of broader community benefit.
PREVAILING GUIDANCE
The objectives of this study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of outcomes and recommendations for future consideration were significantly influenced by Article 13C of the California Constitution and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.
Article 13C states that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental act ivity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Additionally, Article 13C identifies the following as items th at are not defined as taxes:
A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege. A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.
A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof. A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property.
A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law.
A charge imposed as a condition of property development.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.
Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits; building inspections; building permits; …the process ing of maps under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act…; or planning services…; those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.
The outcomes and recommendations of the study are intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a result of this study are not taxes as defined in Articl e 13C of the California Constitution and that the proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees. Additionally, this report is intended to show that the manner in which the costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.
METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES
This study calculated the estimated reasonable cost of providing various fee -related services across the City organization. Generally, the estimated reasonable cost of providing the fee -related services and activities examined in this study can be calculated as the product of the composite fully-burdened hourly labor rate of the division responsible for providing services and the estimated labor time required to process a typical request for service.
The composite fully -burdened hourly rates calculated in this study are based on the estimated annual hours spent providing fee related services, and estimated labor, services and supplies, and citywide overhead expenditures, sourced as follows:
Labor expenditures for in-house personnel were based on budgeted salary and benefits expenditures. Contract service personnel and other services and supplies related costs were based on Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budgets and anticipated costs.
Citywide overhead cost allocations were based on the City’s current overhead cost allocation plan. Estimated labor time spent providing fee related services were developed based on interviews with City staff and are in-line with typical direct service ratios experienced by the consultant via studies of similar municipalities throughout California . Commonly used industry data also aided in the development of time estimates and proposed fee structures.
Once cost of service levels are identified, the City may use this information to inform tar geted cost recovery from fees. Fees set at the cost-of-service target full cost recovery. Fees set at any amount less than the cost-of-service target less than full cost recovery.

IMPLEMENTATION
CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
If the City decides to adopt or otherwise utilize outcomes generated through this study, it should:
Update Systems for Fee Outcomes – Ensure that City staff begin using updated fees and associated outcomes once the updated schedule of fees becomes effective. Values should be included in all official fee schedules used throughout the City (e.g., departmental pamphlets, counter schedules, and online information). Additionally, ensure collections processes are updated, which may include coding in billing systems and training for personnel who handle fees directly with the public. Actively Monitor the Use of Fees – In order to recover accurate and eligible amounts expected, the City should be diligent about tracking time to projects for time and materials billings and ensuring fees are applied in the correct amount and using the correct and intended basis for fixed fee billings. Monitor Feedback and Permit Statistics – Monitor permit and application volume and applicant feedback to determine if fee modifications are resulting in any unanticipated changes in project frequency and to increase the level of detail available for revenue forecasting. Annually Review and Adjust Fee Values – In order to generally maintain pace with regional cost inflation and/or the City’s salary cost inflation, the City should adjust its fees on an annual basis . A commonly used, reasonable inflation index is the annual change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) representative of the region.
Periodically Perform Comprehensive Analysis – A comprehensive fee study should be conducted periodically (e.g., every three to five years) to ensure fee levels remain at or below legal limits and are consistent with evolving service practices and local conditions.
