Agenda packet, first session — Garden Grove City Council, January 28, 2025 (part 2 of 2)

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council desires that annually beginning July 1, 202 7, the City Manager, or City Manager designee may update the fees based on the prior year annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index All Urban Consumers for Los Angeles -Long Beach-Anaheim, California (CPI). If the CPI does not change or goes down in a given year, no change shall be made to the fee schedule that year unless a public hearing is held to consider amendment of fees; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any and all provisions of prior resolutions of the City Council establishing or modifying fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit “A,” are hereby repealed and replaced as of the effective date(s) of this Resolution in the manner set forth in Exhibit “A;” provided, however, that such repeal shall not excuse or affect the failure of any person or entity to pay any fee heretofore imposed upon such person or entity.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council desires to clarify that in adopting this Resolution, it is taking action only on those fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit “A” which have been modified from prior resolutions of the City Council. The remaining fees that have not been modified from prior resolutions shall remain in full force and effect.

Adopted this 28th day of January 2025.

● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.

Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

STUDY OVERVIEW
The City of Garden Grove provides many services to ensure safe, orderly and aesthetically pleasing development and construction within the City. The broad categories of these services include, but are not limited to, project entitlement review, map review, improvement plan check, and construction permitting.

User fees and regulatory fees are the mechanism by which the City may recoup a portion of or all of the costs associated with these services.

The City of Garden Grove has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study . California cities regularly conduct these studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services.

Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.

USER AND REGULATORY FEES
Cities derive annual revenue from a numbe r of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by the City for providing fee-related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.

California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee-related services and activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees charged shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services, activities, or materials for which fees are charged.

COST RECOVERY POLICY AND PRACTICE
Recovering the costs of providing fee -related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.

The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involveme nt in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that service . When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual bears the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.

3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FINDINGS AND PROPOSED ACTION
During the course of study, information and analysis was generated and is discussed substantively throughout this report and its technical appendices. However, summarized in the following findings statements by broad fee category, are outcomes and proposals of particular interest to City policymakers.

Multi-Year Phase-In Approach is Recommended
• Current fees recover less than the City’s full cost of providing fee-related services. • Since these fees are regulatory in nature, and typically correlated with high levels of direct benefit to the service recipient communities frequently target full cost recovery for these development- related services.
• In order to allow the City to move toward full cost recovery, while being mindful of broad community goals and values and collaboration with the development community, staff recommends using a multi-year phase in approach to enhance cost recovery levels. • The recommended fee phase -in would take place over a three -year timeframe. An example of timing of the proposed fee adjustments is as follows:
o Year 1 Fee Adjustment – Fiscal Year 2025/26
o Year 2 Fee Adjustment – Fiscal Year 2026/27
o Year 3 Fee Adjustment – Fiscal Year 2027/28

In the event that City Council prefers an alternative approach, staff has also prepared two additional scenarios for City Council consideration:
• Two-year phase-in of fee adjustment
• Immediate adjustment of fees to full cost recovery/targeted cost recovery levels.

Building Fees
• Current fees recover less than the City’s full cost of providing fee-related services. o The Division collects approximately $ 3,489,000 annually in fee revenues. Fee -related expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $4,333,000. This results in an aggregate cost recovery level of 81% and a General Fund subsidy of approximately $844,000. o A multi-year phase-in to full cost recovery is targeted for building fees with an initial year cost recovery target of 87%.

333

CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Planning Fees
• Current fees recover less than the City’s full cost of providing fee-related services. o The Division collects approximately $ 301,000 annually in fee revenues. Fee -related expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $1,159,000. This results in an aggregate cost recovery level of 26% and a General Fund subsidy of approximately $858,000. • A multi-year phase-in to f ull cost recovery is targeted for planning fees with an initial year cost recovery target of 63%.

Regional Fee Comparison
• Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in -range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions. Regional fee comparison information is included in Appendix A of this report.

Additional Cost Recovery from Proposed Adjustments to Fees Under each of the proposed scenarios, the anticipated fiscal impact is $1,702,000 in additional cost recovery. However, the timing of the additional cost recovery will be influenced by the alternative selected by City Council. The three alternatives are illustrated below:

• Three Year Phase -In: The enhanced cost recovery anticipated from the initial year phase -in included in the fee schedule update is $709,000 in additional General Fund revenues. An overview of current and proposed cost recovery is provided in the table below.

5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• Two Year Phase-In: The enhanced cost recovery anticipated from the initial year phase-in included in the fee schedule update is $1,062,000 in additional General Fund revenues. An overview of current and proposed cost recovery is provided in the table below.

• Immediate Adjustment: The enhanced cost recovery anticipated from the initial year phase -in included in the fee schedule update is $1,702,000 in additional General Fund revenues. An overview of current and proposed cost recovery is provided in the table below.

Fairly allocating costs to the services provided and recovering some, or all, of these costs from service recipients creates value and predictability for City customers and reimburses the City for services provided to a single party, as compared to the public at large. Collecting fees for services:
 Increases the availability of General Fund revenues to be used for services and activities available to all residents and businesses, such as public safety and public works services.  Helps meet fee-payer service level expectations by collecting fees to fund the existing level of services provided.

6 PROJECT ORIENTATION

SCOPE OF STUDY
The City of Garden Grove has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study, which represents an external review of prevailing practices and development of a n updated Schedule of User Fees and Charges .

ClearSource Financial Consulting has prepared this analysis during Fiscal Year 2023/24 and 2024/25 and will be available to answer questions as the City proceeds in implementing findings as it chooses.

Key tasks expected by the City from this study included the following:
 Review eligible fee-related services citywide to establish the reasonable relationship between current fees for service and the underlying costs of service.
 Calculate the full cost of service, including estimated citywide overhead costs.  Recommend fees to be charged for each service.
 Recommend cost recovery strategies and best practices in setting fees, while considering the complexities and demands of responsible programs or departments.  Identify underlying billable rates for cost recovery opportunities and as the basis for user fees.  Maintain a thoroughly documented analysis to ensure compliance with Proposition 26, and other statutes, as applicable.

DIRECT SERVICES UNDER REVIEW
Fee Categories
City fees under review in this project focused on direct services eligible for user fee methodology, as listed in the City’s published fee schedules . Additionally, the project was tasked with identifying any relevant additions for services performed without a fee or for under -quantified or ineffectively structured fees.

Current services shown in the City’s various prevailing fee schedules and addressed in this study are summarized as follows:
 Planning – Entitlement review and permitting.
 Building – Building plan review, permitting, and inspection for construction and sub-trades.

7 PROJECT ORIENTATION

REASON FOR STUDY
Cities derive annual revenue from a numbe r of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by a c ity for providing fee -related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.

California cities regularly conduct fee studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall body of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Widespread industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues for servic es of broader community benefit.

PREVAILING GUIDANCE
The objectives of this study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of outcomes and recommendations for future consideration were significantly influenced by Article 13C of the California Constitution and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.

Article 13C states that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental act ivity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Additionally, Article 13C identifies the following as items th at are not defined as taxes:
 A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.  A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.
 A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof.  A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property.
 A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law.
 A charge imposed as a condition of property development. 337

CLEARSOURCE REPORT TO THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE
8 PROJECT ORIENTATION
 Assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.

Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits; building inspections; building permits; …the process ing of maps under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act…; or planning services…; those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.

The outcomes and recommendations of the study are intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a result of this study are not taxes as defined in Articl e 13C of the California Constitution and that the proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees. Additionally, this report is intended to show that the manner in which the costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.

METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES
This study calculated the estimated reasonable cost of providing various fee -related services across the City organization. Generally, the estimated reasonable cost of providing the fee -related services and activities examined in this study can be calculated as the product of the composite fully-burdened hourly labor rate of the division responsible for providing services and the estimated labor time required to process a typical request for service.

The composite fully -burdened hourly rates calculated in this study are based on the estimated annual hours spent providing fee related services, and estimated labor, services and supplies, and citywide overhead expenditures, sourced as follows:
 Labor expenditures for in-house personnel were based on budgeted salary and benefits expenditures.  Contract service personnel and other services and supplies related costs were based on Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budgets and anticipated costs.
 Citywide overhead cost allocations were based on a reasonable allocation of indirect costs to the various direct service departments of the City..
 Estimated labor time spent providing fee related services were developed based on interviews with City staff and are in-line with typical direct service ratios experienced by the consultant via studies of similar municipalities throughout California . Commonly used industry data also aided in the development of time estimates and proposed fee structures.

Once cost of service levels are identified, the City may use this information to inform tar geted cost recovery from fees. Fees set at the cost-of-service target full cost recovery. Fees set at any amount less than the cost-of-service target less than full cost recovery. 338

10 IMPLEMENTATION

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

11 APPENDIX A

REGIONAL FEE COMPARISON
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in -range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions.

In order to provide the City Council with additional information as it considers potential adjustments to fees, current and proposed fees were compared to amounts collected by other agencies . For sampling purposes the fee comparison examined fees for:
• City of Costa Mesa
• City of Fullerton
• City of Fountain Valley
• City of Orange
• County of Orange
• City of Santa Ana
• City of Westminster

Of note: the cities of Orange and Santa Ana use alternative structures for calculating building fees that don’t allow for apples-to-apples comparison.

The City of Garden Grove, consistent with other cities throughout the State, has an existing fee schedule that contemplates hundreds of potential unique requests for service. This can result in thousands of fee scenarios when comparing among multiple agencies. Consequently, an exhaustive comparison of the hundreds, and potentially thousands of scenarios is unrealistic. Instead, comparison information for several targeted fee categories (e.g., high volume categories, fee categories of particular interest to community, etc.) are provided in order to provide City Council with a reasonable sense of changes expected.

For Garden Grove, outcomes will show that new fees may range from mid, to upper end of regional fee spectrum depending on the service provided. This is common among municipalities due to differing levels of service and review included among various fee categories.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: William E. Murray
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 1/28/2025

Subject: Approval of an Amendment to increase the annual contract amount with West Coast Arborist, Inc. by $350,000 and Adoption of a Resolution establishing a new City tree removal fee. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For City Council to approve Amendment No. 4 to increase the contract with West Coast Arborist, Inc. (WCA) from $440,000 to $790,000 - a $350,000 increase for tree trimming, crew rental, and tree removal services, and for City Council to adopt a resolution establishing a new City tree removal fee for cost recovery.

BACKGROUND

The Tree and Flood Control Maintenance Section (Section) in the Public Works Department (Department) is responsible for maintaining approximately 16,000 city trees in the public right-of-way and maintaining all city -owned flood control channels. In respect to tree maintenance, the Section is responsible for trimming, pruning, removing, and planting new trees, including promptly responding to urgent reques ts for service, particularly during wind/rain storms. The Section is also responsible for administering resident applications for street tree removals per Chapter 11.32.060 of the Municipal Code which requires this work to be performed by contract, under City specifications and be administered by the City.

DISCUSSION

The Section faces an ongoing operational challenge due to a continuous shortage of staff caused by temporary vacancies. Currently, the Section is operating without three (3) full - time maintenance workers and one (1) part -time public works trainee, representing approximately one-third of its total staffing.

The City contracts with WCA to periodically trim all 16,000 city trees and provide additional services as needed. As a procurement option, the City is currently “piggybacking” on the City of Rancho Cucamonga’s multi-year contract with WCA. Additionally, WCA offers crew rental services to ensure uninterrupted operations for the Section. These supplemental contract services are utilized only on an as-needed basis.
392
Item 4/2025

Page 2 of 2 ends

The Section is actively working to address the temporary vacancies by implementing best practices to prioritize employee safety and reduce unnecessary manual labor for field crews.

Efforts include task rotation and proper tech niques training to enhance efficiency and maintain a safe working environment.

Public Works is also requesting for the adoption of a new City tree removal fee consistent with Section 11.32.060 of the Municipal Code for resident petitions. The fee would be set at the amount charged by WCA under their fee schedule for tree and stump removal, which is based on the size of the tree being removed, and will be used to offset some of the contractual costs for tree removals as requested by residents and authorized by Public Works.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

It is estimated that the adoption of the new fee will generate an additional $50,000 per year in tree removal revenue. Combined with projected salary savings from the temporary vacancies, no additional appropriation is required to approve the $350,000 increase in WCA contractual services.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:
 Approve Amendment No. 4 increasing the annual contract amount with West Coast Arborist, Inc. by $350,000 for the current Fiscal Year 2024-25 and for all remaining contract options years, contingent upon Rancho Cucamonga’s approved contract extensions;
 Conduct a public hearing to establish a new City tree removal fee; and  Adopt a resolution establishing a new City tree removal fee consistent with Chapter

11.32.060 of the Municipal Code.

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:

Lisa L. Kim From: William E. Murray
Dept:

City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 1/28/2025

Subject: Approval of a contract with Willdan Engineering Inc., for On-Call Animal Control Officer Services. (Cost: Not-to-Exceed $245,000 per year)(Action Item)

OBJECTIVE

For City Council to approve a multi-year contract with Willdan Engineering Inc. (Willdan) for on-call Animal Control Officer services for a not -to-exceed amount of $245,000 per fiscal year.

BACKGROUND

The Animal Control Services Section (ACS) is responsible for 24/7 field operations, which include regular daytime shifts and on -call after-hours night shifts. Animal Control Officers (ACOs) work 10-hour daytime shifts (7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.) and remain on standby for 13.5- hour nighttime shifts (5:30 p.m.–7:00 a.m.).

To ensure consistent, high -quality services around the clock , particularly during nighttime shifts, it is necessary to utilize Willdan for supplementary, on -call Animal Control Officer services. Additionally, retaining Willdan for on -call support enables the City to maintain operations when ACOs are unexpectedly on leave, espe cially for extended periods such as medical leave.

DISCUSSION

In February 2020, the City designated Willdan as a sole -source provider for ACO services after staff researched multiple firms in Southern California. Nonetheless, in December 2024, the City proceeded to issue a formal Request for Proposals (RFP S-1352); which efforts included staff contacting firms to once again confirm if they provided these services. Willdan was the only company to submit a formal proposal.

400
Item 22/2025

Page 2 of 2 ends

To determine the annual contract amount, staff considered two key factors:

1. The cost required to replace a full -time Animal Control Officer (ACO) in the event of unexpected staffing shortages due to unforeseen circumstances, such as turnover or prolonged medical leave. This cost is estimated at approximately $175,000 , and the service is utilized only on an as-needed basis.

2. The cost necessary to meet the scheduling demands of 24/7 field operations, particularly for weekend and on-call night shifts. This portion of the service is estimated at approximately $70,000.

The total combined contract amount is $245,000.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

No additional appropriation is needed to approve the $245,000 contract with Willdan Engineering for on-call Animal Control Officer services. The $175,000 allocated for as-needed on-call services is expected to be covered by potential departmental budget savings resulting from staffing shortages. The remaining $70,000 required to maintain the 24/7 field operation schedule will be funded through the existing ACS operating budget.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:
 Approve the contract with Willdan Engineering for On-Call Animal Control Officer services, in the amount not-to-exceed $245,000 per year;  Authorize the City Manager , or designee, execute the contract with Willdan Engineering, Inc. , for On -Call Animal Control Officer services and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto, on behalf of the City.  Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute option year amendmen ts, and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto, on behalf of the City.
