CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 5
Placement: Public Hearing
Meeting Date: April 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Nick Szamet, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Annual Master Fee Schedule Update
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution updating the Citywide Master Fee Schedule approving cost increases based on the Consumer Price Index and other changes to become effective July 1, 2026.
BACKGROUND
The Citywide Master Fee Schedule (Schedule) summarizes all fees the City charges for various services and permits. This schedule ensures transparency and consistency in the fees charged while ensuring the level set for fees matches the cost to provide the services and permits. Fees are developed based on the cost to the City to provide the service or on the impact the activity has on the City or its property. Adjusting the fees in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) ensures sufficient cost-recovery for the City. The adjustment requested for the Schedule is based on the CPI for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA which had an increase of 3.0% for the year ending on December 31, 2025. For reference, the Master Fee Schedule was last increased by a CPI of 3.3% in FY 2024-25.
Additionally, the City collects certain fees that are passed through from other agencies and are only updated when those agencies modify their fee structures. South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District, which provides wastewater treatment to Grover Beach residents and businesses. South County Sanitary Services, which provides solid waste services fees are included in the Master Fee Schedule but are not collected by the City.
Staff is proposing a new category of permit fee in the Community Development Department for battery storage related to residential and commercial solar projects. Battery storage has become a more common approach for energy capture for solar arrays. This fee category will be based on actual costs and are meant to ensure that these fees accurately reflect costs on the review and approval of permits. All other changes are minor adjustments to language or wording around the fee descriptions. Any utility fees are not adjusted and reflect the rates last approved as part of the respective Proposition 218 processes (2021 for Water and 2025 for Wastewater).
In the next fiscal year, staff will complete updates to the Master Fee Schedule concurrently with updates to the City’s cost allocation plan which will further inform inputs into charges in the Master Fee Schedule. Staff will release a request for proposals to develop a new cost allocation plan this month as the most recent iteration is over 10 years old.
