Meeting Date: June 23, 2026
Staff Report No. 26-PR-042
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
ADOPT AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 12.30 SPECIAL EVENTS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, 12.30.010 and
12.30.030
CEQA: The proposed ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378 (b)(5) as it is an organization or administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
(Lead Special Events and Filming Coordinator Kalyn Kaemerle) Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Determine the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378 (b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines;
2. Adopt by title only and waive second reading of an Ordinance (Attachment 1) of the City of Hermosa Beach amending Chapter 12.30 (Special Events on Public Property) and Section 12.30.010 (Special event regulations generally) and
12.30.030 (Special event approval and permit issuance) to amend policies related to special events on public property; and
3. Direct the City Clerk to publish the summary ordinance in a newspaper of general circulations within 15 days following adoption and post it on the City‘s bulletin for 30-days.
Executive Summary:
At its June 9 meeting, City Council, through a public hearing, approved introducing the ordinance by title only and waiving the first reading of the ordinance amending Chapter
12.30 (Special Events on Public Property) and Section 12.30.010 (Special event regulations generally) and 12.30.030 (Special event approval and permit issuance) to amend policies related to special events on public property and adopted a resolution amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule to establish new special event permit program fees.
The proposed ordinance is now presented for second reading and adoption. If adopted, the City Clerk will publish a summary of the ordinance as required by law.
Background:
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
Staff conducted a comprehensive review of the City’s Special Events Policy Guide and associated fee structure and identified potential policy modifications and fee updates to improve clarity, consistency, administrative efficiency, and cost recovery.
At its April 16, 2026 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (Commission) recommended that the City Council approve the proposed Special Event Policy Guide and associated fee updates.
At its May 26, 2026, meeting, City Council approved the Commission’s recommendation.
At its June 9 meeting, City Council, through a public hearing, approved introducing the ordinance by title only and waiving the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter
12.30 (Special Events on Public Property) and Section 12.30.010 (Special event regulations generally) and 12.30.030 (Special event approval and permit issuance) to amend policies related to special events on public property and adopted a resolution to amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule to establish new special event permit program fees.
During its discussion, Councilmember Francois requested additional information regarding the proposed policy to eliminate the automatic public hearing requirement for new events while authorizing the Parks and Recreation Director to elevate proposed events to a public hearing based on anticipated impacts or other considerations. Such considerations may include, but are not limited to, the event's community impact, utilization of high-sensitivity locations, seasonal timing, required City services, potential community concern, anticipated attendance, public safety considerations, traffic and parking impacts, and consistency with adopted City policies and objectives. The City's Impact Characteristics Matrix, located in the Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1), should serve as a guiding tool in evaluating the magnitude and significance of these factors.
The proposed policy updates are summarized below.
1. Require new events to submit applications at least 90 days in advance, regardless of Impact Level.
This would replace the current policy, which establishes different deadlines based on Impact Level. Currently, new events classified as Impact Level I or II are required to submit applications at least 90 days in advance, while new Impact Level III events must be submitted by July 30 for the following calendar year.
2. Eliminate the public hearing requirement for new events and provide the Parks and Recreation Director with the discretion to elevate events to a public hearing based on anticipated impacts or other considerations.
3. Establish a consistent timeline for returning events with event dates for the following calendar year due by July 31 for all Impact Level events. This would replace the current policy, which includes varying deadlines based on Impact Level. Currently, returning Impact Level III events must be submitted by July 30, and returning Impact Level II events must be submitted at least 90 days in advance.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
4. Eliminate City Council review of returning Impact Level III events, unless otherwise directed by City Council or due to significant changes proposed from prior years.
5. Add that special considerations for locations not listed in the Special Event Policy Guide may be considered upon request.
6. Expand the peak season limits from 45 to a maximum of 50 special event days for Impact Level III events and modify the peak season to begin the Saturday preceding Memorial Day, in line with the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.
7. Expand the applicability of the peak season limits from just the coastal locations to city-wide.
8. Add eligibility criteria to specify that events offering prize pools, cash awards, or other forms of participant compensation are not eligible for fee waiver consideration.
9. Modify the Fee Waiver Grant Program eligibility requirements to only include that the approved event must provide a unique benefit to the City or the community, provide a large economic impact, and a partial fee waiver would make a meaningful difference to the event producer’s ability to produce the event.
10.Eliminate City Council review and approval to initiate LTA negotiations and instead authorize the Commission to provide this approval.
City Council would retain final approval of the LTA following negotiations.
11.Eliminate the pre-event presentation requirement before the Commission as part of the LTA Program obligations.
12.Modify the LTA Program eligibility requirements to only include that an event must have been held in Hermosa Beach for a minimum of three consecutive years to be considered for an LTA.
13.Remove the ‘Returning or New Event’ classification from the Impact Characteristic Matrix

Per the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, “prepared food” is defined as food or beverage that (1) is ready to consume without any further preparation, alteration, or repackaging, and (2) is prepared, provided, sold, or served by a food provider using any cooking, packaging, or food preparation technique. Requests for alcohol sales on the beach will not be considered.
For events not held on the beach, the sale of food, non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, or merchandise may be considered. If alcohol sales are approved, the event producer must secure the appropriate license from the State of California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC). The City may impose restrictions on the management of alcohol at the event and/or require security officers or City staff monitoring, with all associated costs borne by the event producer.
The event producer is fully responsible for all vendors operating within the approved event footprint. Only vendors pre-approved by the City may operate within the approved event footprint. The presence of any unpermitted vendor constitutes a violation attributable to the event producer, may result in fines, and may impact the approval of future events.
Event producers are responsible for a per-vendor daily fee. A 25% discount will be applied to vendors that are Hermosa Beach-based businesses holding a valid City business license.
The City of Hermosa Beach does not collect or remit sales tax on behalf of event producers or vendors and assumes no responsibility for ensuring vendor compliance with State tax laws. The event producer shall be responsible for ensuring that all vendors participating in an approved special event comply with applicable State of California sales and use tax requirements. The event producer shall distribute any applicable sales tax or temporary seller information forms, as required.
Additional Permits
• Amplified Sound Permit: Required if the event includes the use of loudspeakers or sound-amplifying equipment for instructions, directions, lectures, or music. For events downtown, all speakers must be oriented westward, toward the ocean, at all times.
• Building and Safety Permit: May be required if the special event includes temporary installation of structures, such as tents over 10’ x 10’, stages, trusses, awnings, marquees, towers, antennas, relocatable buildings, pools, electrical or mechanical equipment, heaters, or large-scale ventilation equipment.
• Coastal Development Permit: May be required if the special event is held between Memorial Day and Labor Day, occupies all or a portion of the beach, and involves a charge for general public admission or seating (not including participant entry fees).
• County of Los Angeles Fire Department Operational Permit • Film/Still Photo Permit: Required for any special event recording or photographing activities resulting in commercial use.
Event Modifications
Event producers requesting event modifications such as additional locations, event days, additional City staff and services, or an event date change may be subject to an Event Modification fee.
Economic Benefit
Event producers will be required to detail positive economic impacts as a result of the event in the Special Event Application. Event producers should encourage the use of local businesses for event staff, participants, and spectators. The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Bureau’s business directory is available at www.trulyhermosa.com. Additionally, event producers should engage with local businesses to explore partnership and promotional opportunities.
Pre/Post Event Meetings
Pre-event and post-event meetings with City staff and event producers may be required.
Portable Restrooms and Hand Sanitizing/Sink Facilities
Event producers may be required to provide portable restrooms and hand-sanitizing or sink facilities. The cost of such services shall be the responsibility of the event producer. The number of portable restrooms and handPage 668 of 1457
sanitizing/sink facilities required will be determined by City staff, who will also designate the location of these facilities at the event site.
Emergency Action Plan
It is the event producer’s responsibility to have a comprehensive emergency action plan to the City that outlines procedures for crises, such as severe weather, fire, active hostile attacks, missing persons, medical emergencies, or threats of violence. The plan should include an evacuation plan, a script for evacuation announcements, and methods for communicating evacuation procedures and locations to event attendees.
The proposed plan may be reviewed and finalized in coordination with the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator.
Trash
Event producers are prohibited from leaving any trash at the event site outside of permanent trash receptacles.
Event producers may be required to provide additional trash containers, dumpsters, or collection services through Athens, with all associated costs borne by the event producer.
Accessibility Plan
Event producers are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable City, County, State, and Federal disability access requirements, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). All indoor and outdoor event sites, activities, and programs must be fully accessible to persons with disabilities.
Security
The Hermosa Beach Police Department may determine that a special event requires the presence of one or more Police Officers or licensed security personnel. The cost of such services shall be borne by the event producer. All security personnel must be licensed, in uniform, and are subject to approval by the City.
Insurance
At least ten (10) days prior to the event, event producers will provide the City with a certificate of insurance providing liability insurance with the following requirements:
Event producer agrees to furnish the City of Hermosa Beach evidence of comprehensive general liability insurance in the form of a certificate naming "the City of Hermosa Beach, its officers, agents, volunteers, and employees as additional insureds." This exact verbiage is required. Event producer shall notify the City at least thirty (30) days prior to the termination, reduction, cancellation, suspension, modification, or expiration of the policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Event producer shall maintain insurance coverage meeting the standards outlined in this Section at all times during the term of the activity or activities for which the Event producer submitted its application, as reflected in and permitted by this Agreement. All certificates are subject to approval of the City’s Risk Manager.
Coverage shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Form CG 00 01 covering commercial general liability on an "occurrence" basis, including property damage, bodily injury, death, and personal and advertising injury with limits no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this Agreement, or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit. The City reserves the right to request greater or lesser amounts of insurance coverage.
If the use includes athletic activities, shall provide evidence of that the commercial general liability insurance includes coverage for injuries to athletic participants and participant accident insurance.
If the Event producer maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
If the event producer utilizes, operates, or causes to be operated any motor vehicles on public rights-of-way connection with the permitted event, the event producer shall provide evidence of automobile liability insurance. Coverage shall be written on ISO form CA 00 01 or equivalent and shall include coverage for “any auto” (Symbol 1) or, at a minimum, all owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles. Limits shall be no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit per accident for bodily injury and property damage. The policy shall name "the City of Hermosa Beach, its officers, agents, volunteers, and employees" as additional insureds and shall be primary and non-contributory with respect to any insurance maintained by the City.
The City reserves the right to request higher limits if deemed warranted upon event review.

• Providing contact information for an event representative who can be reached by City staff at any time during the event.

Staff Report No. 26-AS-064
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
RESOLUTION ADOPTING FEES FROM A FEE STUDY UPDATE
(Continued from the June 9, 2026 City Council Meeting)
(Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of remaining fee updates included in the recent Fee Study update; and
2. Adopt Resolution 26-XXX setting fees based on the recent Fee Study update (Attachment 1).
Executive Summary:
The City recently updated its fee study, originally set in 2016 with partial cost recovery, to address rising service costs, reduce growing General Fund subsidies, and improve cost alignment (potentially generating approximately $1.0 million annually). At the April 28, 2026 meeting, the City Council held a public hearing, approved all staff recommendations except 19 fees to be phased in over two years, and directed staff to return with additional analysis of those remaining fees. A subsequent public hearing was held at the May 12, 2026 meeting, at which time the matter was continued to this date for further consideration by the City Council.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 8
Meeting Date Description
April 28, 2026
City Council held a public hearing on proposed new fees and approved all except 19, which will be increased over two years per staff recommendations; staff were directed to return to City Council to review those 19 fees.
May 12, 2026
City Council held a public hearing on proposed new fees and approved all except 19, staff were directed to continue the hearing to June 9, 2026.
June 9, 2026 Hearing continued to June 23, 2026.
Analysis:
Planning/Building and Public Works fees remain below full cost recovery, about 63% and 78%, respectively resulting in ongoing General Fund subsidies exceeding $1M and $200K. Fees were calculated based on current processes and associated staff time to more accurately reflect the true cost of service delivery.
Cost increases are largely driven by higher personnel and benefit costs, increased overhead, greater coordination across departments, expanded regulatory requirements, and the need for consultant support, factors that have significantly increased the true cost of providing services since the last comprehensive update. The updated fee study modernizes and recalibrates these fees to better align with actual costs, reduce subsidies, and improve long-term fiscal sustainability. Staff is also currently reviewing and refining internal processes and may return with future fee adjustments as efficiencies are identified.
The City Council’s April 28 action approving most fee updates represents meaningful progress toward full cost recovery; however, 19 fees were isolated by City Council for further discussion, and decisions on these will determine whether subsidies are reduced or continue to place pressure on the General Fund. All proposed fee updates are included in Attachment 2.

Staff Analysis
Development Services Fees
Overall, City Council comments generally support modest or phased fee increases tied to actual staff costs while emphasizing that future fee adjustments should be coordinated with ongoing zoning, permitting, and process streamlining efforts. Several comments recommend creating tiered fee structures based on project complexity, reducing or refunding fees where staff time is lower than anticipated, and providing reduced fees for streamlined, repeat, administrative, or lower-impact applications.
Many of the requested adjustments are directly tied to broader Community Development review efforts currently underway, including zoning updates and process improvements expected to come before the Planning Commission and City Council over the next year.
These anticipated workflow and procedural changes, including expanded administrative approvals, streamlined review processes, and reduced commission involvement for
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 8
certain applications, may reduce staff processing time and allow future fees to be recalibrated to better reflect the revised level of effort and actual cost recovery.
As the Zoning Code Update proceeds, staff will recommend adjustments to fees as approval pathways are modified. In practice, fees will be recommended for reduction in those instances where authority is delegated from the Planning Commission to staff, as this type of streamlining will eliminate the need to prepare cases for its consideration.
The following fees from the table above are related to procedures recommended for streamlining by staff and the Planning Commission:
S-003 CUP/PDP Condo
S-018 Temporary Use Permit
S-018A M-1 Zone Limited Events Permit
S-024 Planning Commission Interpretation
S-030 Planning Sign Permit

Zoning Code provisions related to Commercial uses and development will be addressed in the coming fiscal year. The following fees are related to procedures that may be revised through this update:
S-001 CUP – Comm/Other
S-003B CUP Annual Monitoring
S-034 Admin Permit – Abandon CUP
Public Works Fees
The proposed Public Works fee increases are intended to better recover the actual staff time, permit processing, inspections, coordination, and administrative review required under the City’s current code and permitting processes.
Alternatively, City Council could direct staff to return with potential code, zoning, or process amendments that may reduce review requirements or alter permit procedures, which could warrant revisiting the proposed Public Works fees following additional legal and operational analysis.
Residential encroachment permits (S-080) allow for a residential property to utilize the adjoining public right-of-way for their use and enjoyment, typically for landscape improvements. The revised fee was aligned to better capture staff time necessary to properly review and process the permit. Encroachment permits are subject to a one-time fee, for which the property owner takes on maintenance responsibility and liability for the improvements in the area, and are revocable. The requirements for an encroachment
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 8
permit are detailed in Chapter 12.16 of the HBMC. Creating an annualized fee would require further legal analysis and modifications to the Code.
A-frames (S-081C) are covered under chapter 17 of the HBMC and are initiated through the Community Development Department as they may be located in either private or public property. Business owners are first required to obtain a temporary sign permit through the Community Development Department. Once approved, Public Works may then issue an encroachment permit in accordance with Chapter 12.16 of the HBMC for placement of the sign within the public right-of-way at the approved location. The Public Works fees are associated with permit processing and inspection to ensure adequate path of travel at the location of the A Frame. Modifications to the process may require changes to the HBMC and could be considered for streamlining as noted above.
Options for City Council Consideration:
Option 1: Adopt Full Cost Recovery Fees (Staff Recommended): Adopt the proposed fee increases now to allow full cost recovery, and direct staff to come back with reduced fee adjustments as new code changes and efficiencies come online. Align fees with the full cost of service
Reduce General Fund subsidies
Direct staff to complete process review and identify efficiencies Return to City Council with recalibrated fees once processes are refined Allows for fiscal sustainability while maintaining flexibility for future adjustments Option 2: Adopt Partial Cost Recovery (See Attachment 2) Attachment 2 shows the current fee schedule and four cost recovery scenarios Options range from no fee change to progressive 25% cost recovery increments (25%, 50%, 75%) up to 100% full cost recovery
Maintain subsidies for selected services
Provide direction on policy-based subsidies
Option 3: Maintain Current Fees
Continue existing subsidy levels
Increase pressure on the General Fund and future budgets Option 4: Defer Certain Fee Increases with Future Recalibration Adopt proposed fees now based on current processes and staff time EXCEPT for the following fees:
o S-003 CUP/PDP Condo
o S-018 Temporary Use Permit
o S-018A M-1 Zone Limited Events Permit
o S-024 Planning Commission Interpretation
o S-030 Planning Sign Permit
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 8
o S-030A Planning A Frame Sign Permit
o S-001 CUP – Comm/Other
o S-003B CUP Annual Monitoring
o S-034 Admin Permit – Abandon CUP
Direct staff to complete process review and identify efficiencies Return to City Council with recalibrated fees once processes are refined Allows for near-term revenue improvement while maintaining flexibility for future adjustments.
Fiscal Impact:
The City Council’s action at the April 28 meeting to approve the majority of fee updates represents significant progress toward achieving full cost recovery and reducing reliance on General Fund subsidies.
Adoption of the proposed fee update would be effective July 1, 2026, and was estimated to generate up to $1.0 million in additional annual revenue if implemented at full cost recovery levels. The fees were adopted to be fully implemented in two years. Fees will be updated annually based on the Los Angeles-area Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Actual revenue impacts will depend on:
City Council direction regarding cost recovery levels; Service demand and fee elasticity; and
Market considerations for certain services.
If the City Council ultimately approves the remaining above fees under consideration at full cost recovery levels, the City will further reduce General Fund service cost subsidies and improve the City’s long-term fiscal sustainability. If the City Council does not approve increases for these fees, those service costs will continue to be subsidized by the General Fund, contributing to ongoing structural budget challenges identified in the FY 27 Fiscal Outlook presentation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
By acceptance of the Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS) proposal, the City of Hermosa Beach decided to subject its fee-based services to detailed analysis dedicated toward seeking alternate, and more equitable, ways to finance City services provided to the community. Due to the various demands made of the City, it is essential that the City Council and management have complete information upon which to assess fees charged to the public for services provided.
Schedule 1 at the end of this Executive Summary lists each service reviewed in this study. It indicates that the City could realize approximately $1,247,500 in additional new revenue if the recommendations provided here are adopted and implemented.
Organization of Report. This Executive Summary explains RCS’s philosophy concerning feebased services and cost analysis with a discussion of Costs Generally Defined. The report then lists the Types of Costs included in our analysis and our General Recommendations.
COSTS GENERALLY DEFINED
The basic costs of operating any business are direct labor and employee benefits, direct materials, and overhead costs.
Determination of Costs. After the passage of Proposition 13, the California Taxpayers Association, the California Chamber of Commerce, the National Tax Limitation Committee and the California Association of Realtors put Proposition 4 before the voters. It was adopted by
74.3% of the voters of California on November 6, 1979, and became effective on July 1, 1980, retroactive to Fiscal Year 1978-79.
This proposition, which became Article XIIIB of the State Constitution, addressed all city revenues and established a limit on the growth of tax revenues. Also, because of Proposition 4, fee services cannot exceed the “costs reasonably borne” by the City in providing the service. If the fee exceeds the cost, the excess fee is defined as a special tax, which Proposition 13 requires be approved by two-thirds of the voters. As Article XIIIB was written by the above business groups, it is not surprising that they recommended a business-oriented approach to the costs of governmental services.
Principle Involved. A basic principle involved in this Report is the recognition of those full business costs as they are as defined by the authors of the Constitutional amendment, NOT just those costs which 1) the City might recognize and decide to budget; or 2) which it might decide to use in some other cost analysis methodology; or 3) that other jurisdictions not so complying might use; or 4) that some accounting or other consulting firm might decide it should use, based on some external, non-California legal requirements.
3 City of Hermosa Beach Fee Study Update
These cost elements have been determined in a businesslike manner per basic business principles, and applied to each and every fee-financed or fee-financeable service provided by the City, modified only slightly to accommodate the published intent and definitions of the authors of Article XIIIB. Thus a logical, legal, and Constitutionally-mandated cost-consciousness can now be applied to City operations.
TYPES OF COSTS
The following costs, identified above as part of "costs reasonably borne" by the Authors of Proposition 4, make up the cost detail found on the right-hand page in Appendix B for each service center.
Salaries and Wages
City government is in fact a service industry, and therefore, it is natural that salaries make up the largest single element of cost for most services.
Interview Process. In order to allocate the salaries, interviews were held, documents sought and researched, and reports and accounting records examined by RCS. The result was, in most cases, a percentage or hours distribution of individual employee personal services costs.
One hundred percent of the time of all City employees was distributed. In other words, everyone had to be someplace, all of their time. No judgments were made about what personnel should or might be doing. Their time was distributed to those service centers where the time was expended.
Employee Fringe Benefits
Since fractional time -- to as low as three minutes per unit of service or one-twentieth of a percent of the annual time of an employee has been allocated to service centers, fringe benefit costs also must be fractionalized to carefully and accurately distribute those ancillary personnel costs.
The City finances numerous benefits for its employees, thereby incurring measurable costs for these items, including:
PERS Retirement
Medical/Dental Benefits
Medicare Insurance
All of these costs are current operating expenses, and the amounts were isolated. Actual costs
4 City of Hermosa Beach Fee Study Update
were determined and reduced to a percentage of salary for each of the positions.
Available Work-Hours. After the individual elements of cost for positions was compiled, the total cost for each position was divided by the number of available work-hours. Available work hours were calculated as the total possible work-hours in a year, 2,080, less the following awayfrom-work benefit hours:
Holidays (90 hours)
Vacations (128 hours)
Sick Leave – 50% Usage (48 hours)
Morning/Afternoon Breaks (General – 45 hours)
Start Up/Down Time (General – 91 hours)
Using this approach the average number of available work-hours used was calculated as 1,678 hours per year for 40 hour a week positions and 2,480 hours per year for Fire shift positions.
Maintenance and Operation Costs
All maintenance and operation costs, including non-personnel expenses such as professional services, insurance, operating supplies etc., were derived from the 24-25 Council-approved budget and allocated via percentages or through actual allocation to each of the service centers identified in a department or division.
General and Departmental Overhead Costs
Overhead costs provide the vital glue that holds an organization together operationally and provide important coordinating capabilities. They also provide the day-to-day support services and facilities required for the organization to function effectively. RCS has used a detailed Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) to identify and allocate these costs to the remainder of the City organization. In the CAP, costs were allocated to end-user departments and divisions by applying an overhead allocation factor. Each factor was related to the work effort of its particular overhead element and was assessed for relevance and reasonableness.
Full Cost Distribution. The purpose of deriving overhead costs to apportion these amounts to direct service program costs. By adopting this method the City will be aware of its true costs and be able to emulate business methods. Article XIIIB’s (Proposition 4 of 1979) authors intended this, defining as part of “costs reasonably borne” a calculated “reasonable allocation for overhead and administration.”
General City Overhead. These services primarily set policy and support other departments without providing a deliverable service to the public. Where they do perform an end-user service,
5 City of Hermosa Beach Fee Study Update
such costs have not been allocated to other departments.
Costs in this general administration category include the following functions:
Building Use Replacement. The replacement costs for City Hall, Community Center, City Yard, and Clark Building were calculated and depreciated over the standard 50 year life of a facility.
These costs were then allocated to the departments and services that use these buildings and become part of their overhead costs.
Departmental Administration. Costs in this category involve intra-departmental support functions, outside the above listed general City overhead functions, and involve the allocation of staff time within and among departmental functions. These services also do not provide enduser deliverables to the public, but instead provide vital administrative support within specific departments.

Fully Allocated Hourly Rates
All of the above items make up the fully allocated hourly rate which is calculated for each position in the City. The makeup of each component of the City-wide average fully allocated hourly rate is detailed in the chart below.
Calculation of Revenues. Many of the revenues included in this Report are calculated based on the current fee and the number of projected units of service. This may be different than the current budgeted revenues due to changes to projected volume, which comes from looking at historic volume and estimates of current year levels.
Market Sensitive Fees. One of the notes in the following Summary Schedule 1 has a note called “Market Sensitive Fees.” This is associated with certain public safety fees, such as false alarms and loud party responses. The point of these fees is not necessarily to recover revenue, but instead to encourage a certain behavior, such as fixing your alarm or quieting your party. These fees are structured in a way that allows for a certain number of free responses before the fee is charged. Thus, if the fee is working correctly there will be no revenue at all. Therefore, we don’t project any new revenues for these services.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Adoption of Modifications to Current Fee Structure
It is recommended that the City Council adjust the fee schedule for the enumerated City services presented in Appendix A of this Report. Continued use of the "full business costing" concept will create consistency in the establishment of fees, and allow for timely adjustment to reflect changes in the cost of providing services. In addition, Recreation and Community Resources fees should be set by the market on an annual basis and should therefore not be included in the list of services that are increased annually by inflation.
Review of Suggested Recovery Rates
The City Council should review each service and the suggested recovery rate to determine how much of each service should be recovered through fees, and how much should be subsidized through the City’s tax dollars. This review is very important because it gives City staff direction as to what the Council wants to subsidize and what it does not.
Comments about Specific Service Centers
S-051: Building Plan Check/Inspection. RCS has worked with City staff to create a New Construction Fee Schedule that is based on square footage instead of valuation. While both methods are valid, it is felt that charging fees based on the type of occupancy and the size of the construction is more equitable for the types of construction seen in Hermosa Beach. These new fees are detailed in Appendix C of this Report.
COMMUNITY RESOURCES
By their nature, recreation services are highly market driven and subject to a variety of external factors including consumer demand, location, facility amenities, demographics, and competing service providers. Adjustments in fees can arguably have a significant impact on consumer demand given a variety of elasticity factors that may be in play. This does not imply that additional revenues are unavailable, but fee levels are best set at the delivery point based on a flexible and market based pricing model within policy goals.
General Methodology Assumptions. The methodology generally used in developing service center revenue/cost calculations, as has been done in this study, is founded on key assumptions:
8 City of Hermosa Beach Fee Study Update
First, service volumes are fairly constant and void of wide fluctuations in consumer patronage from year to year.
Second, consumers have come to accept the economic value of continuing to use the identified service at a value that equates to the cost of providing the service.
It is important to note that these two assumptions are not particularly valid for recreation and community resources activities that are characterized by annual changes in program popularity combined with the influence of seasonal conditions. Furthermore, recreation and community services dollars are highly sensitive to overall market and economic conditions, as a service that strives to compete for an elusive discretionary income dollar.
Recreation and community resource fees are influenced by two factors generally not a factor in the delivery of other City services - marketing and social policy.
Social Policy. City Council should develop a conscious policy as to what programs and service centers should be subsidized with tax monies in promoting social benefit, and to what extent. It may well be that some level of subsidy for many of the services identified in this group is not only necessary, but appropriate.
Marketing. Given that these services are highly market sensitive and financed mostly by discretionary income, a special burden is placed on program managers to innovate and promote attendance. Those who run these programs know too well the need to convince customers of the value-added features of their services. If fees are set too high, attendance and consequently revenues will drop. On the other hand, establishing fee levels artificially low will result in a flood of demand beyond resource capabilities.
Pricing. If priced strictly at average cost, fee increases can result in reduced participation leading to additional reactionary price increases and further losses in patronage. As such, prices for leisure and cultural services must be set carefully. The potential number of target customers should be estimated as part of an aggressive program marketing those services at determined price levels. Some important considerations in setting pricing follow:
Has a marketing study been performed?
Have programs been selected for their popularity?
9 City of Hermosa Beach Fee Study Update
Do City programs compete with offerings made by other agencies, organizations, or private businesses who can supply the program at less cost? Is there a less costly way for the City to supply the service? Has sufficient money been budgeted to advertise the program adequately and how is the number of participants affected by the level of advertising? What costs would NOT be incurred or REMAIN were the program not to be offered? What is the cost of adding one more participant; of opening one more section of the activity?
Are participants polled for their reaction to the offering, the instructor, the facility, and for their ideas for possible programs and the amounts that they are willing to pay? Are some facilities more costly to operate than others? What are the costs of electricity, water, gas, janitorial, maintenance, telephone, vandalism, and the like for each facility? How do existing facilities compare to those provided by the competition in creating either a price advantage or disadvantage?
Has the clientele of the activity been defined allowing the City to understand the social purpose in subsidizing the activity?
A number of these issues have already been addressed by City staff in past studies and reports and are merely presented to illustrate the issues involved in operating such services.
In determining what should be charged for services it ultimately is the responsibility of recreation professionals to recommend a combination of decreased costs, increased participation and fee adjustments needed to meet the degree of recovery that is ultimately determined by the City Council. For programs to be relevant and responsive to customers, they need to be flexible with their resources.
Detail of Recreation Services in Appendix D. The total costs of Recreation services are broken out to its component parts in Appendix D. Previously the City Council approved cost recovery goals for these services, and they are identified as Approved Direct Cost Recovery. For the most part, these are percentages of direct costs, which are direct part time salaries and benefits and direct operating expenses. These goals are set as a percentage of these direct costs because it is easier to measure the cost recovery from year to year. Also included are updated cost recovery goals based on current cost recovery rates.
10 City of Hermosa Beach Fee Study Update
The City Council should now review these cost recovery goals to ensure that they are realistic goals while taking into account the market and social issues detailed above.

While the City is deciding who to subsidize and what to finance, it should remember it cannot provide all things to all people. It should therefore prioritize what it hopes to accomplish. If the Council decides to provide more subsidies today, it is doing so at the expense of other services which can only be financed by tax dollars, such as Police Patrol services, Fire/Medical Aid services, Street Maintenance, and other public services. Therefore the Council must decide which direction it wants to proceed in, fully aware of the consequences of either action.
CONCLUSION
If all the recommendations and suggestions made in this Report are adopted, the City's financial picture would be improved. Also, far more equity between taxpayers and fee-payers, as well as fairness between property-related and non-property-related services could be secured, assisting in the City's continued financial stability into the future. The following Schedule 1 portrays the various services assessed during our analysis.
Appendix A – Summary of Current and Proposed Fees
Appendix A includes a summary of the current City fees matched up with the proposed fees for each service presented.
Appendix B - Detailed Worksheets
The substance of RCS’s work effort on this project is primarily comprised of two different worksheets shown in the detail of this report (see Appendix B). The first, "Revenue and Cost Summary Worksheet" is on the left hand side. These worksheets include a description of the service, the current fee structure, the recommended recovery rate, and other pertinent information. Also included are the revenue and cost comparisons and suggestions for fee modifications.
11 City of Hermosa Beach Fee Study Update
Presented on the facing page, titled "Cost Detail Worksheet", is the worksheet which details the costs involved with each service. This page identifies those employees providing the service, the time spent, and their related costs.
Appendix C – Detail of Building & Safety Fees
Appendix D – Detail of Recreation Services
The total costs of Recreation services are broken out to its component parts in Appendix C.
Previously the City Council approved cost recovery goals for these services, and they are identified as Approved Direct Cost Recovery. For the most part, these are percentages of direct costs, which are direct part time salaries and benefits and direct operating expenses. These goals are set as a percentage of these direct costs because it is easier to measure the cost recovery from year to year.
