1 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Executive Summary
The City of Fairfield 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.

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 cost allocations were incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determined through the City’s Cost Allocation Plan. A Cost Allocation Plan identifies the central service functions of the City such as Finance, City Manager, and Human Resources and allocates their cost to the departments and funds of the City that they support. This plan was used in the User Fee study to account for the burden placed upon central services by the operating departments in order to allocate a proportionate share of central service cost through the study.
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 and recommended inflator is the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known, understood, and accepted. 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 are comfortable with for their specific situation and needs. The analysis performed is a reflection of the cost of service at a point in time, and an inflator is used to project cost increases in future years. But inflators such as CPI will become less and less reliable as a determination of the change in cost of service as each year passes. Since 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 recommended that the City perform an 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 Fairfield 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 Fairfield departments and fee groups:
Planning
Tech Fees
Public Works
Police
Special Event
Animal Services
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.

5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
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 for fee cost recovery. 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 Cost Allocation Plan 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.

7 Comprehensive User Fee Study
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, as provided via the City’s Cost Allocation Plan, represent services provided by those Central Services Departments whose primary function is to support other City departments.

8 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Methodology
The two 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 programs’ 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.
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 f ees 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 factors including:
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 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.

10 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Fairfield 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, multiple 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 fixed rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Fairfield, 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 purely 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.
Packet Page 1105 of 1189Attachment 2 Page 13 of 44
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.
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 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 consistent and comprehensive fee schedule were the primary objectives of this study. City staff has reviewed the full costs and identified the recommended fee levels for consideration by City Council.
The following sections provide background for each department, division, and fee group and the results of this study’s analysis of their fees. For the full list of each fee’s analysis, refer to Appendix C of this report.

Planning
The mission of the Community Development Department is to protect, enhance, and expand the community’s physical, environmental, economic, and historical assets, and ensure building safety. The Department is responsible for current and long-range planning, building plan checks and inspections, and economic development. The professional staff has a wide variety of work experience in government, non- profit organizations, housing, and the private sector. Areas of specialization include planning, economic development and redevelopment, land development, engineering and building construction.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs 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 the current fees are under funding the cost for most services. It is recommended that the City increase cost recovery to 100% for Planning services as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase to 50 fees;
1 fee would change to contract price from a flat fee; 3 fees would decrease;
15 new fees would be added;
11 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 110% for currently existing fees.

Administrative and Tech Fees
Administrative and Tech Fees include the technology fund fee for the purpose of this study. The purpose of the fee is to recover the information and technology cost of Building Safety. The technology cost included is the cost needed to implement, maintain, and upgrade systems needed for Building Safety to operate and provide service.
Analysis
The analysis of the technology fee consisted of a program cost approach that looked at the information technology cost for Building Safety and determined a pro rata share of cost that should be recovered for each fee dollar that is charged for Building plan check and inspection activities. The result of the analysis determined a full cost fee of 9.2%. It is recommended that the current fee of 8.38% be increased to full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C.

Public Works
The mission of the Public Works Department is to provide the highest possible quality of life to the citizens of Fairfield through the delivery of prompt, professional, efficient and personal service. Responsibilities of the department include design, construction, operation and maintenance of streets, water, sewer, drainage/flood control, public buildings, parks, landscaping, fleet, and open space. The department also manages transportation activities including local fixed route, paratransit, reduced taxi program, two park- and-rides, and train station maintenance services. The management team comes from diverse academic backgrounds, including public works administration, civil engineering, traffic engineering, water resources, construction management, and transportation planning and operations. The department consists of five functional areas: Engineering, Operations, Utilities, Transportation, and Fleet Management.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Public Works Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Public Works 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 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 services are currently below the cost of providing them, and changes to the schedule were needed to better differentiate specific service needs that didn’t fit within currently existing fees. It is recommended that the City increase cost recovery to 100% for Public Works services as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
an increase to 23 fees;
5 fees would decrease;
24 new fees would be added;
7 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 18% for currently existing fees.

Police
The Fairfield Police Department is committed to working in partnership with our community to reduce harm by advancing safety, service and the quality of life in Fairfield. The department is organized into two bureaus: Operations and Support Services. The Operations Bureau consists of the Patrol, Traffic, Special Enforcement, Youth Services, and Investigations Divisions. The Support Services Bureau consists of the Administrative Services, Community Services, and Record & Dispatch Divisions.
The Fairfield Police Department’s mission: With reverence for human life and the highest degree of ethical and professional conduct, the Fairfield Police Department will, while working in partnership and as guided by the Constitution, safeguard the lives and property of the people we serve, enforce the law and reduce harm to make our community safe for all.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with 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 penalties, 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 fees are currently set below the full cost of providing service. Staff are recommending that the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C with some increases limited to 25% or full cost, whichever is less. As a result, there would be:
An increase to 25 fees;
8 fees would decrease;
10 new fees would be added;
15 fees would remain as currently set, and;
The average fee change is a decrease of 5%, mostly driven by the larger decreases in the secondhand dealer and solicitor fees.

Special Events
The Special Event fee schedule’s purpose is to account for and recover some of the operational cost needs of the City required to facilitate special events throughout the City. Intake, routing, review, and day of event staff needs span multiple departments of the City and can be considerable.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Special Events. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Special Events services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, excluding penalties, 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 the project coordination fees are currently heavily subsidizing the full cost of service. That is typical in many cities as there is a desire for special events and they provide enjoyment and benefit to the community. Staff is recommending that the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C with most fees to retain subsidies. As a result, there would be:
An increase to 7 fees;
1 new fee would be added;
The 10 park rental and Traffic Control Installation fee would remain as currently set, and; the average fee change would be an increase of 11%.

Animal Services
Animal Services are provided by the Solano Animal Control Authority.
Analysis
A program cost analysis was also completed to determine historical cost recovery based on provided services. The analysis found that the Animal Services currently has a cost recovery level of 13%. Staff is recommending that the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase to the 9 fees for altered, unaltered, and senior licenses; All other fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 38% to the increased license fees.

Appendix A – Total Allowable Cost to be Recovered
Below are the total allowable costs that may be recovered through User Fees; however, only a portion of the total allowable cost is recovered as staff not only works on services related to User Fees, but also works on an array of other City functions during the operational hours of the City. The amounts listed below will not reconcile to City budgets as costs that should not be included in overhead for personnel in the application of determining fully burdened hourly rates were excluded. Examples of these costs are capital, debt, monetary transfers, contract costs, and any other costs that are charged directly to the service requestor.

Appendix B – Salary and Benefit Hourly Rates
Below are Salary and Benefit hourly rates of staff positions. The hourly rates were used in the study to determine the full cost of each service when combined with the associated overhead rates. They include the salary and benefit costs for each position based on the City’s salary step schedule for positions as well as the appropriate benefits depending on each position’s bargaining unit. The total salary and benefits are then divided by 1,650 productive or billable hours to reduce the total 2,080 workable hours in a year to remove hours when positions are paid but not on the job such as holidays, paid leave, and sick pay. A further reduction of under 10% is made for administrative, general, or non-specific work hours. When a position is used in the study to identify direct work hours spent on a fee or service the applicable overhead rates of the operating unit (shown in Appendix A) is applied to that positions’ salary and benefit rate to determine full cost recovery. 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 service by using the salary benefit rate of the positions below along with the appropriate overhead factors from Appendix A.

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.

FY24/25 Proposed Changes
The Building and Safety Division ensures new development meets state and local building standards through plan check and building inspections. The most recent update (listed below) to the building division fees was completed on April 1, 2024, based on resolution 2021-83. The building division fees are currently updated annually on April 1 and uses the percent change in Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Clerical and Wage Earners, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or successor agency, from December of the current fiscal year over the preceding December, for the San Francisco Bay Area.
Proposed Change Starting July 1, 2025 - In order to be consistent with the Citywide Fee schedule the Building Division fees will be adjusted annually effective July 1, starting July 2025. The adjustments will be based on the average of each of the percent change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) in the following three areas: 1) San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA, 2) West, and 3) U.S. city average. This CPI data will be obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor agency and the comparison will be made between the CPI values for April of the current fiscal year and the preceding April.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
UPDATED CITY OF FAIRFIELD MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAIRFIELD will hold a public hearing on the following item:
UPDATED CITY OF FAIRFIELD MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
The City Council is scheduled to review the Comprehensive User Fee Study Report prepared by Willdan Financial Services, and the adoption of an updated Master User Fee Schedule. The following notice is in accordance with the provisions of Sections 66016 through 66018 of the California Government Code, (advance notification of fee increases).
City staff has evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the approval of the Comprehensive User Fee Study Report, and the adoption of the proposed updated Master User Fee Schedule pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). City staff has determined that these actions do not constitute a “project” under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because these actions involve the creation of a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. In addition, City Staff has determined that these actions are statutorily exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15273(a)(1) and (a)(2) because these actions are establishing fees and charges to meet operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits, and to purchase and/or lease supplies, equipment, and materials.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT said public hearing will be held before the City of Fairfield City Council on Tuesday, May 07, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. (or soon thereafter) in the Harry T.
Price Memorial Council Chamber, 1000 Webster Street, Fairfield, California, at which time and place any and all persons who wish to be heard regarding the Proposed Recommended Increases and Updates to the Master Fee Schedule may appear and be heard.
This public hearing is to approve the recommended FY 2024/2025 increases and updates.
Copies of the proposed fee increases will be available for public inspection beginning Tuesday April 23, 2024, on the City’s website at www.fairfield.ca.gov .
The study supporting proposed fees is available for review at the Fairfield Community Development Department, 1000 Webster Street, 2nd floor, and on the City’s webpage at www.fairfield.ca.gov .
The City of Fairfield User Fee Study and the FY24/25 Proposed Master Fee Schedule are available for review prior to the public hearing by clicking the link below:

User Fee Study and Proposed Master Fee Schedule
City of Fairfield recently completed a Comprehensive User Fee Study and revised their user fee schedules to recover 100% of the costs associated with a service provided by the City to members of the public when allowed by law. A public hearing will be held on May 07, 2024, prior to the Council’s consideration of the proposed fees for FY2024/25. If approved, the new and revised fees will be effective July 8, 2024.
Based on the results of the User Fee Study, certain fees are recommended to be added, removed, increased, or decreased to reflect current program costs, while other fees are advised to remain unchanged due to the City’s desire to be more “user friendly” or more comparable to other cities. It is recommended that the current User Fee Schedule be updated based on the results of the User Fee Study.
The study supporting proposed fees is available for review at the Fairfield Community Development Department, 1000 Webster Street, 2nd floor, and on the City’s webpage at www.fairfield.ca.gov .
