PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
I, Delaney Dombrowski, Deputy City Clerk, do hereby certify that I have caused a true copy of the above notice and agenda to be delivered to each of the members of the Fairfield City Council, at the time and in the manner prescribed by law and that this agenda was posted at City Hall, 1000 Webster Street, Fairfield, California on Thursday, June 27, 2024.

Agenda Item No: 1.
AGENDA REPORT
DATE:July 2, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024168 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the Purchase of Datacenter Colocation and Disaster Recovery Services from ePlus Technology,Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Information Technology (IT) Department seeks approval to purchase datacenter colocation for disaster recovery services through the competitively bid National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) contract from ePlus Technology Inc. (ePlus).
DISCUSSION
The City of Fairfield seeks to acquire colocation space and related managed services as a component of the City’s IT Disaster Recovery Protocols and Cyber Resilience Plan. The City currently only has one datacenter, and the establishment of a disaster recovery site is considered an IT best practice. To ensure high availability of critical systems and services to the City’s community, the IT department is recommending purchasing datacenter colocation and disaster recovery services from ePlus Inc. A colocation facility provides an alternative datacenter location and manages services for the City’s network and server equipment. It provides a secure and controlled environment from which critical systems and applications can operate if the City’s primary datacenter were to experience a failure, natural disaster, or cybersecurity event taking it offline. These services will help to ensure continuity of operations and reduce staff time required to restore critical services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The services will be procured under the NASPO Master Contract Number: AR2472. Expenditures are available and budgeted in Fund 522, Project OITDTREDOP as part of the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Program. The initial services period is five years, or sixty months, for $722,715 with a contingency not to exceed amount of $30,000 per year to support additional system and data growth consuming more colocation services, power, rack space and storage capacity. The IT Department is recommending the option to renew the data center colocation and disaster recovery services as recurring services at the end of the initial fiveyear term. The support and maintenance are funded through Fund Packet Page 6 of 249

These services will help to ensure continuity ofoperations and reduce staff time required to restore critical services.FINANCIAL IMPACTThe services will be procured under the NASPO Master Contract Number: AR2472. Expenditures areavailable and budgeted in Fund 522, Project OITDTREDOP as part of the Disaster Recovery andBusiness Continuity Program. The initial services period is five years, or sixty months, for $722,715 witha contingency not to exceed amount of $30,000 per year to support additional system and data growth consuming more colocation services, power, rack space and storage capacity. The IT Department is recommending the option to renew the data center colocation and disaster recovery services as recurring services at the end of the initial fiveyear term. The support and maintenance are funded through Fund 522, Project OITINFDROP.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to adopt the proposed resolution. The City only has one data center, which would leave the City’s systems without an alternate location to function for the disaster recovery situation. This project was identified as part of the Disaster Recovery and Cyber Resilience Plan strategies that aligns with the council goal of Organizational Excellence.

SUBJECT:Resolution 2024169 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving the Purchase of Support and Maintenance for City Backup Software and Hardware from ePlus Technology, Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Information Technology (IT) Department seeks approval to renew the support and maintenance of the City's backup application and hardware.
DISCUSSION
The IT Department utilizes a system to support and back up the City’s file, email, and database servers.
The backup system automates these processes and provides immediate access to the backups for data recovery. In April 2022, City Council approved the purchase of a modern backup software and hardware solution from ePlus Technology, Inc. Over the past two years, staff added additional modules for M365 Security Cloud Protection and Ransomware protection. The renewals for the various modules of the current backup application and hardware are from the same vendor, and are currently set to expire across different dates beginning July 29, 2024.
The IT Department now seeks approval to renew and coterminate separate agreements into one agreement with an expiration date of June 1, 2026, for all elements of the City’s backup application and hardware. This will standardize the support renewal dates and reduce staff time required for payment processing.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Expenditure costs are available and budgeted in Fund 522, Computer Maintenance, as part of the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Project OITINFDROP. The support will be procured under the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) Master Contract Number AR2472.
The renewal period of July 29, 2024 to June 1, 2026 will cost $210,003.96, not inclusive of any taxes, Packet Page 13 of 249

SUBJECT:Resolution 2024170 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement Between the City of Fairfield and Geographic Technologies Group (GTG) for Geographic Information System (GIS) Consulting Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Information Technology (IT) Department seeks approval to enter into a professional services agreement with Geographic Technologies Group (GTG) for Geographic Information System (GIS) consulting services.
DISCUSSION
The City integrates GIS across various departments for tasks such as business applications for infrastructure planning, development, and capital improvement projects (CIP), as well as water utility projects, the Police 911 system, fire maps, and emergency/disaster planning. GIS technologies are powerful tools for improving the quality, accuracy, efficiency, and responsiveness of services provided by the City of Fairfield.
Following a Request for Proposals (RFP) process in 2022, GTG was selected to conduct the Enterprise GIS assessment. The vendor collaborated with staff to produce a fiveyear roadmap and re evaluation for Enterprise GIS due to changes in the GIS architecture, business application technologies, and staff resources to continue to be effective in providing critical services. The new GIS assessment and strategy specifies ways in which recommended solutions will improve the City's operations and overall service delivery, streamline operations to achieve cost efficiencies, increase productivity, and support open and transparent governance.
GTG conducted surveys, interviews, and workshops with City staff to do an assessment and analysis of the City’s current Enterprise GIS. They also helped develop a governance plan outlining the administration, maintenance, and support for the Enterprise GIS. Additionally, they developed an Packet Page 19 of 249

GTG conducted surveys, interviews, and workshops with City staff to do an assessment and analysis of the City’s current Enterprise GIS. They also helped develop a governance plan outlining the administration, maintenance, and support for the Enterprise GIS. Additionally, they developed an implementation plan to provide a fiveyear roadmap for GIS and recommended a strategy with actions and next steps. This development and planning process involved key staff representing all City departments.
The GIS Master Plan identified 200+ projects over the next five years. The plan serves as a critical tool to measure the City’s current GIS performance, review best practices, and continuously improve to deliver projects and services to the community. The GIS Master Plan is a living document updated every five years, which helps identify and align organizational priorities with our City’s Strategic Goals and departments' vision, mission, and values. Completing the high volume of planned work is not feasible without additional resources. GTG’s extensive experience working with other local municipalities can augment City staff to implement ambitious GIS projects over the next five years. One recent example is the CIP Dashboard, an interactive tool which helps the community to visualize the City’s progress of capital projects.
The focus of this proposed agreement involves the implementation of various GIS projects as outlined in the City’s fiveyear GIS Master Plan. The first project aims to support the City’s transparency initiative through the creation of a Police Transparency Portal. These initiatives will consolidate public safety data, currently available on the City's website, into a centralized location for easy access to key information. Other upcoming projects will consist of the development of StoryMaps for various City departments that visually present data and narratives through interactive maps. StoryMaps enable citizens to easily understand complex information, fostering greater government accountability.
Furthermore, the StoryMaps will allow for the City to share insights, showcase public projects, and solicit feedback, ultimately promoting trust and collaboration between the City and the public.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total amount requested is not to exceed $180,000 per fiscal year for a total of $900,000 over a five year term for ongoing GIS consulting services. These funds are available in the Computer Services Fund 522, Project OITBSGISOP.

a) If AGREEMENT is an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) and CONSULTANT is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, agents, employees and designated volunteers (collectively “CITY Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, to the extent they arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by CITY in direct proportion to the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault. CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determination of the CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault, the parties agree to mediation with a third party neutral to determine the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY.
b) If AGREEMENT is not an agreement for design professional services subject to California Civil Code § 2782.8(a) or CONSULTANT is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code § 2782.8(c)(2), to the fullest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY Indemnitees from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by CONSULTANT or any person directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for CONSULTANT in the performance of this Agreement, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the CITY Indemnitees.
It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
CONSULTANT’S responsibility for such defense and indemnity shall survive termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. 11) PROHIBITED INTERESTS. No employee of the CITY shall have any direct financial interest in this agreement. This agreement shall be voidable at the option of the CITY if this provision is violated.

On May 29, 2024, an independent NOFA Rank and Review Panel met to review scores based on the NOFA criteria created by the adhoc committee. The Panel comprised four local government professionals with extensive expertise in homeless services from four different counties including:
Solano, Alameda, San Joaquin and Orange. The Panel independently reviewed and scored all applications following the scoring criteria as outlined in the NOFA prior to the meeting. After meeting to discuss the applications, the Panel recommended funding the following programs:
Change and New Beginnings – $300,000 per year
Bay North Church of Christ $150,000 per year
Shelter Solano, Inc./Beck Avenue Navigation Center – $100,000 The rank and review process included two steps.

While BANC/Shelter Solano, Inc initially scored higher than CANB, the Panel decision to rank CANB as their top recommendation was based heavily on the lower costs per bed night, capacity, higher positive housing success rate, and the diversity of the households CANB can shelter.
The Panel recommended Bay North Church of Christ (Winter Shelter) to support a new program in the community, and a current gap in services during winter months. The Panel identified that Bay North’s program was initially scored lower than other programs because it is a new program and did not have data available to highlight experience and impact compared to existing programs. The Panel also recommended Bay North’s application as they identified a winter shelter as an unmet need in the community but did not support funding at the fully requested amount.
While the Mission Samoa HELP Project (Pallets) initially scored higher than the recommended Bay North Church of Christ (Winter Shelter), there were concerns with the application related to data management, capacity, and meeting the required threshold of the NOFA of being a low barrier emergency shelter. The Mission Samoa Homeless 2 Work Program did not meet the minimum threshold of being an emergency shelter as it is a transitional housing program and not eligible for this funding as outlined in the NOFA.
The Rank and Review Panel reviewed and discussed the program outcomes for all programs as reported in the Annual Performance Reports (APR) populated from Solano County’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) provided with the NOFA as follows:

The recommended funding amounts were determined based on the final Rank and Review Panel’s ranking. CANB was recommended to be funded fully as it was unanimously ranked as the top application. The funding amount for Bay North Church of Christ (Winter Shelter) determined based on the rate per night for inclement weather shelters ($1000 per night) and BANC/ Shelter Solano, Inc. was recommended for the remaining amount available in the NOFA.

1 Introduction
According to the Solano County 2022 Point in Time count, there are 1,179 unhoused individuals in Solano County. Approximately, three hundred (300) of those individuals are in the City of Fairfield.
This Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is part of the City of Fairfield’s commitment to reduce houselessness, the impacts of houselessness in our community and increase bed/interim housing capacity for those who are unhoused.
With this solicitation, The City of Fairfield seeks to provide funding to support one or multiple temporary emergency shelter operations. An emergency shelter is defined as “housing with minimal supportive services for unhoused persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by an unhoused person.” Emergency shelters provide services coordinated to meet the immediate safety and survival needs of the individual or family served, including shelter, food, clothing, and other support services. These services are provided in a minimally intrusive environment. At a minimum, emergency shelters provide the following services directly on-site:
• Sleeping accommodations.
• Personal hygiene supplies and facilities, including toilets and wash basins; and • Showers and/ or bathtubs (temporary shelters may provide referrals to other facilities for these services).
Funding
The City of Fairfield (City) will use funds from the Homeless Services Division general and quality of life funds to support this project. Funding is available through this NOFA in the amount of $1.1 million with $550,000 available for the first year and remaining funds available in performance period year two. This is a one-time funding source with total funds expended by June 30, 2026.
This funding is intended to address and support the operational needs of organizations who are providing temporary emergency shelter and services to those who are unhoused in the City of Fairfield. Successful applicants will provide documentation for continued funding beyond the term of this funding. These funds shall not be used to supplant existing funds.
As a requirement to receive funding, the Executive Director of the organization must sign and agree to implement housing first and low barrier guidelines and agree to case conferencing with the Homeless Services Division to ensure these guidelines are being met.
Appropriate Use of Funds
Operational costs and essential services are those necessary to provide safe and healthy residential services and to connect people experiencing houselessness to permanent housing, income, public benefits, health and mental health services, and other support services to end houselessness.
Operational costs and essential services that may be covered by this NOFA.

Eligibility
Non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for funding. Projects must be within the City of Fairfield. The City strongly prefers organizations applying for funding to have experience with assisting unhoused households and aligns program with Housing First Solano Continuum of Care Written Standards for Service. The City may consider organizations without prior experience in the provision of services to the unhoused population provided the organization demonstrates they have project leadership and staff with the expertise and capacity in serving households coming out of houselessness.

3 Program Description and Guidelines
Successful applicants or service providers will serve City of Fairfield residents who are literally unhoused using housing first and low barrier guidelines, as defined below.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development defines literally unhoused as an individual or family who lacks a fixed, regular, or adequate nighttime residence, meaning:
1. Has a primary nigh�me residence that is a public or private place not meant for human habita�on; or
2. Is living in a publicly or privately operated shelter designated to provide temporary living arrangements (including congregate shelters, transi�onal housing, and hotels and motels paid for by charitable organiza�ons or by federal, state, or local government programs); or
3. Is exi�ng an ins�tu�on where (s)he has resided for 90 days or less and who resided in an emergency shelter or place not meant for human habita�on immediately before entering that ins�tu�on.
Housing First is an unhoused assistance approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing houselessness, thus ending their houselessness and serving as a platform from which they can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life. This approach is guided by the belief that people need basic necessities like food and a place to live before attending to anything less critical, such as getting a job, budgeting properly, or attending to substance use issues.
Additionally, Housing First is based on the understanding that a person’s choice is valuable in housing selection and supportive service participation, and exercising that choice is likely to make a person more successful in remaining housed and improving their life.
All successful applicants must incorporate the core components of Housing First into their program(s) that are receiving these funds. Housing First is an evidence-based model that uses housing as a tool, rather than a reward, and that centers on providing or connecting those experiencing houselessness to permanent housing as quickly as possible. Under the Housing First model, services offered are delivered in a low barrier, trauma informed, and culturally responsive manner and available on a voluntary basis, without preconditions that make housing contingent on participation in services. Individuals and families assisted with these funds must not be required to receive treatment or perform any other prerequisite activities as a condition for receiving shelter, housing, or other services for which these funds are used.
Low barrier means the requirements for entry and stay are limited or minimal. Low barrier programs and shelters encourage unhoused individuals to seek resources by eliminating obstacles such as sobriety as a requirement for admission. Organizations should have onsite regulations for substance use with an alternative approach to problem solving to keep individuals sheltered.
Harm Reduction and Trauma-Informed Care are evidence based alternative approaches for the unhoused. Harm reduction is an approach or strategy aimed at reducing the risks and harmful effects associated with substance use and addictive behaviors for the individual, the community and society as a whole. The trauma-Informed care approach recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role trauma may play in an individual’s life.
The City is seeking organizations with programs that will understand different people need different Packet Page 66 of 249Attachment 1 Page 4 of 25
4 solutions, will work with a person where they are and give them choices and options. Successful programs will provide wrap around or linkages to wrap around services and make all services voluntary. Using the low barrier approach, participants cannot be forced to participate in activities such as groups, taking medication or maintaining sobriety in order to remain housed. Programs can and are encouraged by the City to require participants to actively work towards housing solutions by offering safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness and empowerment.
Allowing partners, pets and property is another low barrier approach. There are many unhoused individuals who have partners, pets and property that are very important to them. The City is seeking a provider who recognizes partners, pets, and property as important and has an adequate plan and space for all.
Reporting
The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is an electronic database that tracks demographic information and performance outcomes at the client level, using standardized fields that allow for automatic system-wide reporting. All participants in successfully funded City project(s) must be entered in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) operated by the Continuum of Care in accordance with established policies and procedures. These procedures require providers to ask clients for signed consent to enter their information into the database and to conduct structured interviews at program entry, at program exit, and on the anniversary of each client’s entry into the program (if any clients remain in the program for at least 12 months). Funded agencies must sign a HMIS agency participation agreement and at least one staff person at each successfully funded agency will need to complete a free HMIS user training in order to become certified in HMIS privacy and data security techniques and will need to learn how to enter data correctly into the HMIS software.
Provider must grant City of Fairfield’s Homeless Services Division “viewer access” to the funded project within HMIS database.
Each user who enters data into HMIS will need to pay an annual license fee for new licenses. This is an eligible expense that may be included (if you wish) in the administrative portion of your application budget.
Items that must be tracked in HMIS include:
• The number of houseless persons served.
• The number of unsheltered houseless persons served.
• The average length of �me spent houseless before entry into the program or project. • The number of houseless persons exi�ng the program or project to permanent housing.
• The number of people that return to houselessness a�er exi�ng the program or project.
• The number of people that increased income while in the program. • Progress notes that are essen�al for coordina�on across the homeless response system including document readiness, housing op�ons offered and/or declined, and engagement efforts in ending houselessness.

In the event any loss, liability or damage is incurred by way of setlement or resolu�on without a court, jury or arbitrator having made a determina�on of the CONSULTANT’s percentage of fault, the par�es agree to media�on with a third party neutral to determine the CONSULTANT’s propor�onate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost reimbursement owed to the CITY.

It is understood that the duty of CONSULTANT to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Sec�on 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve CONSULTANT from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause.

CONSULTANT’S responsibility for such defense and indemnity shall survive termination or completion of this agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. 11) PROHIBITED INTERESTS.

DISCUSSION
By Resolution No. 2012233, the City Council established CFD 20122, a MelloRoos community facilities district (CFD) with the intention that future development within the city would annex to this District. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the District are used to fund public safety services, open space operation, and park maintenance in the Fairfield area.
The property proposed for annexation is owned by SolanoNapa Habitat for Humanity and is located south of Woolner Avenue and west of Columbus Drive within the boundary of assessor’s parcel number (APN) 0028881770, 0028881780, and 0028790, the boundaries of which are depicted on Exhibit A. The original parcels prior to splitting were APNs 0028280210 and 0028280300. The development on the property will be three singlefamily homes (Woolner Avenue by SolanoNapa Habitat for Humanity). Development of this property will change the property’s characteristics and manner in which the property will be used, thereby creating a need for more services funded by CFD 20122.
The City contracts with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of resolutions and the completion of balloting procedures for the annexation to existing CFDs. This process is a specialty service that the City has contracted out since 1995 on an individual consultant services basis for each development requiring annexation into a MelloRoos CFD.
The council adopted Resolution No. 2024123 on May 21, 2024, to declare its intention to annex the territory to CFD 20122 and set a public hearing for July 2, 2024. Following the public hearing, and in the absence of a majority protest and approval by the property owner, the adoption of the attached resolutions will annex the territory to CFD 20122, call and hold an election of the property owner within the annexed territory, declare the results of the special election, and authorize the levy of the special taxes within the annexed territory, thereby concluding the annexation process.
Once the annexation is complete, the annexation territory will be designated as Annexation No. 68. In accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (RMA) for CFD 20122, the property owner of Annexation No. 68 will not be required to pay annual special taxes for CFD 20122, as these residences will be exempt from the special tax due to being Affordable Housing.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated annual revenue to be received by the City (CFD 20122 Fund 332) for this annexation is estimated to be $0, which is based on the exempt status of Affordable Housing property pursuant to the RMA. If the property no longer is affordable housing in the future, the special tax will be levied on the property pursuant to the rate charged to singlefamily residential property on a perunit basis. The CFD 20122 maximum special tax rates include an automatic annual consumer price index adjustment. The process for the annexation is funded by the developer and no general fund monies are used for this effort.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
If the council has any questions concerning the required annexation of this development, this item may be rescheduled until the next council meeting to allow staff to provide the necessary background information. However, if the annexation is not approved, the conditions of approval for this development would not be fulfilled and the development process would cease.

DATE:July 2, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Public Hearing; and
Resolution 2024176 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving the Comprehensive User Fee Study and Amending the Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 20242025 Police Fees
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing and adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing regarding the recently completed user fee analysis and consider adopting a resolution updating Police fees and charges for certain services provided by the City of Fairfield for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 as listed in Attachment 3.
DISCUSSION
In October 2023, the City contracted with Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to conduct a Comprehensive User Fee Study 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 fees and program activities. This report and the appendices herein identify 100% full cost recovery for City services. Attachment 2 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 the full cost recovery.
The 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 was held on May 7, 2024, and new and revised fees were approved by Resolution No. 2024111. After the council approved the Resolution, staff identified errors in the Police fees, which were listed incorrectly in the Proposed Master Fee Schedule.

After the council approved the Resolution, staff identified errors in the Police fees, which were listed incorrectly in the Proposed Master Fee Schedule.
The correct police fees as identified by Willdan User Fee Study are listed in Attachment 2. If approved, the new and revised fees will be effective July 8, 2024, as the fees are not associated with planning, development or public works and are not subject to a 60day waiting period requirement.
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 Records, Property & Dispatch Divisions.
The overall fee update for the Police Department consists of an increase to 25 fees; 8 fees would decrease; 10 new fees would be added; and 15 fees would remain as currently set. The average fee change is a decrease of 5%, mostly driven by the larger decreases in the secondhand dealer and solicitor fees. Details of the Fairfield Police Department fees analysis can be found in the User Fee Study report, Attachment 2 Appendix C starting on page 37.
Inflationary Adjustments
Conducting a User Fee Study for feerelated services and costs annually would be timeintensive for staff and costly. The best practice for User Fee analyses is to undertake such a Study every three to five years. This allows jurisdictions to ensure they account for organizational changes, such as staffing levels, cost of doing business, process efficiencies, code or rule changes, and technology improvements. As a result, developing an annual update mechanism allows jurisdictions to maintain current levels of cost recovery while accounting for increases in staffing or expenditures related to services. Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor, Consumer Price Index (CPI), in the resolution to increase or decrease the fees annually.
The proposed annual fee adjustments will be handled by staff administratively pursuant to adopted resolution commencing in FY 20242025. The Finance Department staff will annually adjust fees 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 (CPIW)in the following three areas: 1) San FranciscoOaklandHayward, 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. The new fees shall be rounded to the nearest one (1.00) dollar.
Table 3 – For Illustration Purposes
Consumer Price Index (CPI)Percent Change
San FranciscoOaklandHayward 2.80%
Western Urban Region 3.56%
U.S. Cities 3.32%
Average of All 3 CPIU for adjustments 3.23%
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As currently drafted, it is pertinent to note that the revenue is not intended to fund new services; rather, the revenue is intended to offset the costs of providing existing services that are recoverable from fees. Consequently, while fees may rise annually, typically, labor and contract services costs (the primary driver of feerelated costs), also rise annually. Recalibrating these fees provides an offset of existing expenditures/needs rather than a source of funding for expanded service levels.

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.

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

9 Comprehensive User Fee 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.

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 121 of 249Attachment 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.

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.

18 Comprehensive User Fee Study
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.

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.
