1 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Executive Summary
The City of Hesperia 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 and the recommended level of recovery 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. 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. 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 Council, by resolution, to annually increase or decrease the fees.
The City may employ many different inflationary factors. The most commonly used inflator is some form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known and accepted. A similar inflator is the implicit price deflator for GDP, which is much like the CPI except that while the CPI is based on the same “basket” of goods and services every year, the price deflators’ “basket” can change year to year. 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 believe works the best for their specific situation and needs. It is also recommended that the City perform this 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 Hesperia 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 Hesperia departments and fee groups:
Animal Control
Miscellaneous City Fees
Building
Business License
Hesperia Housing Authority (HHA) and Hesperia Community Development Commission (HCDC) o Fees were included in Appendix C, but were not analyzed or suggested to change Planning
Engineering
5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Public Safety
Water District Fees
o Not including utility rates
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.
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 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, but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that are included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
a. The salaries of positions are increased by 6% from the prior study b. The study and fees adopted in December of 2023 did not include benefits for employees in error. As such all hourly rates have been updated in this report and have increased by 54% Operating costs applicable to fee operations
Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan a. The cost allocation plan was updated to the FY 23/24 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.
Programmatic 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 facility use fees, penalties, 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 fees
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 possible factors including:
Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
Staffing levels 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
Costs that this study has identified as part of the full cost of services may not have been accounted for in a previous study
o Departmental overhead and administration costs
o Vehicle and Facility Maintenance support costs
o Indirect overhead from the Cost Allocation Plan
Changes in processes and procedures within a department, or the City as a whole 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 and indirect 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.

Hesperia 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 on staff, the use of consultants, and the policies and procedures in place for each City.
Specifically, in providing services, a number of 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 hard and fast rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Hesperia, 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 simply 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.
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 unoblbigated funds. Therefore, the general taxpayer will potentially help to fund private benefits, and/or other City services will not have available funds that are otherwise directed to cover fee subsidies.
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 largely 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 100% of the full cost identified in this study except for specific considerations where it makes sense based on how service is provided or when full cost recovery was determined to be unreasonable or require too large of an increase. 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 attached appendices exhibit these unit fees individually.
The preceding 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.
12 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Animal Control
Animal Control provides several public safety functions including rabies control, dog licensing, stray and dangerous animal abatement, hearings for public nuisance, quarantine, and hearings for dangerous and/or vicious animals. These functions are paramount in achieving the City Council’s first goal of Public Safety.
Animal Control also provides care, shelter, and treatment for unwanted and abused animals. Animal Control maintains a large population of adoptable animals, and the on-site veterinarian provides weekly vaccination and spay/neuter clinics for High Desert residents.
Analysis
The update Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Animal Control. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Animal Control 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 updated full cost calculation against the current fees that were adopted in December of 2023 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 the service. Since staff had recommended that the City limit any increases to Animal Control fees at 25% there are no recommended fee changes as detailed in Appendix C.
13 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Miscellaneous
The Miscellaneous fee section include appeals, copying, electronic media, driving under the influence, FOG program, film permits, and liquor licenses.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Miscellaneous fees. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Miscellaneous services fee section 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 updated full cost calculation against the current fees that were adopted in December of 2023 to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that additional increases would be needed from the previously adopted fees to achieve the cost recovery targets of the prior study. The cause for the lower cost calculations in the prior study was a result of the 6% increase in personnel salaries, the update to the indirect overhead rates, and incorrectly omitting the 54% benefit factor. The recommended fee adjustments to the fee schedule are detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase for 13 fees;
The annual FOG inspection fee would be split into 2 fees based on producer size; 42 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average change in fees would be an increase of 6%.
14 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Building and Safety
Building and Safety is responsible for permitting, plan checking, building inspection, and land grading operations for compliance with adopted building codes and Federal and State Laws, which assists with achieving the City Council goal on Future Development. Technicians at the public counter process permits and provide public information for a wide variety of development related issues. The program also administers the business licensing, billing, and fee collection of several key programs within the City including Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG); Residential Truck Parking; Rental Housing; Deemed Approved Alcohol; Tobacco Retail Licensing; and provides the Permit-To-Operate and inspections for the eleven mobile home parks that lie within the City’s boundaries.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with Building and Safety. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Building and Safety 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 updated full cost calculation against the current fees that were adopted in December of 2023 to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. In addition, staff provided desired changes to the fee schedule to better reflect the time it takes to provide services and how service is provided it provided to the public. The analysis found that most services are currently set below the full cost of providing them. The cause for the lower cost calculations in the prior study was a result of the 6% increase in personnel salaries, the update to the indirect overhead rates, incorrectly omitting the 54% benefit factor on personnel costs, and the changes provided by staff to the schedule and time calculations. It is recommended that the City increase cost recovery to 100% for Building & Safety services as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
an increase to 78 fees;
3 fees would decrease;
37 fees would remain as currently set;
1 fee would change its basis of determinatioin from cubic yards to a base fee or percentage of project cost estimate;
mobile home fees that are regulated and set by the State were added to the schedule; 6 new fees would be added, and;
the average change in fees would be an increase of 88% on current fees. o 39% of the increase is due to the 6% increase in personnel salaries, the update to the indirect overhead rates, incorrectly omitting the 54% benefit factor on personnel costs, and;
o 49% of the increase is due to the time data increases provided by department staff.
15 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Business License
All entities transacting business within the City of Hesperia must obtain and maintain a valid business license.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Business License. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Business License 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 updated full cost calculation against the current fees that were adopted in December of 2023 to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that the cost recovery targets from the prior study were not being met by the adopted fees. The cause for the lower cost calculations in the prior study was a result of the 6% increase in personnel salaries, the update to the indirect overhead rates, incorrectly omitting the 54% benefit factor on personnel costs. As a result, fee increass to the fee schedule are being recommended, and they are detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase for 7 fees;
30 fees would remain as currently set;
the average change in fees would be an increase of 3%.
16 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Hesperia Housing Authority (HHA) and Hesperia
Community Development Commission (HCDC)
The Hesperia Housing Authority (HHA), develops, manages, and promotes programs and projects that preserve and improve the supply of affordable housing in the City of Hesperia for low and moderate income persons.
The Hesperia Community Development Commission (CDC) is primarily responsible for the City’s business attraction and retention efforts. These efforts result in an increase in the job base, increased sales and use tax, property taxes, and the overall economic progress and diversity of the City. Under the direction of the City Manager’s Department, the CDC administers marketing efforts for the City.
Analysis
No cost analysis was done with Hesperia Housing Authority (HHA) and Hesperia Community Development Commission (HCDC) fees are recommended to remain as currently set.
17 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Planning
Planning provides public information, project review, and approvals or recommendations for development proposals to ensure that new development conforms to Hesperia’s environment as described in the General Plan (City Council Goal 3 – Future Development), specific plans, and Development Code. This Program assures conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Subdivision Map Act, the Municipal Code, and the Specific Plan. The Program also supports the Development Review Committee, the Planning Commission, and the City Council in all planning matters. Planning prepares applications for the annexation of sphere areas, as well as environmental documents for private developments and public developments such as Economic Development and Public Works projects. Planning also recommends changes to the City’s Land Use Plan to keep pace with the increase in population, commercial and industrial growth, and the changing regulatory environment to assure Hesperia’s future growth and success.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with Planning. 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 updated full cost calculation against the current fees that were adopted in December of 2023 to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that the cost recovery targets from the prior study were not being met by the adopted fees. The cause for the lower cost calculations in the prior study was a result of the 6% increase in personnel salaries, the update to the indirect overhead rates, incorrectly omitting the 54% benefit factor on personnel costs. As a result, fee increass to the fee schedule are being recommended, and they are detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase to 58 fees;
o 3 fee increases included increases in time data provided by staff 1 new fee for Sign Plan would be added;
6 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 62%.
18 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Engineering
Engineering is responsible for processing development projects as they relate to public infrastructure including; roads, water systems, sewer systems, drainage control, and Traffic signal systems. The department is also responsible for the engineering, planning, design, and construction of all infrastructure projects included in the City's Capital Improvement Program. Engineering maintains all records of public infrastructure (maps, plans and documents) for use by other departments, outside agencies and the public.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Engineering. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Engineering 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 updated full cost calculation against the current fees that were adopted in December of 2023 to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that the cost recovery targets from the prior study were not being met by the adopted fees. The cause for the lower cost calculations in the prior study was a result of the 6% increase in personnel salaries, the update to the indirect overhead rates, incorrectly omitting the 54% benefit factor on personnel costs. As a result, fee increass to the fee schedule are being recommended, and they are detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase for 23 fees;
44 fees would remain as currently set, and;
The average fee change would be an increase of 24%.
19 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Police - Public Safety
The Hesperia City Police Department provides law enforcement and public safety services to the residents of the City and to all those within its jurisdiction (City Council’s first goal of Public Safety). Our mission is to deliver collaborative law enforcement solutions that meet the needs of our communities and partners by giving quality professional services. The Department works in partnership with the community, other governmental agencies and City entities to promote individual responsibility, and safer neighborhoods in an effort to enhance the quality of life in Hesperia.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has provided law enforcement services to the City under a service contract since its incorporation in 1988. By virtue of this contract, the City of Hesperia provides its citizens with full-service law enforcement, which include patrol operations, traffic enforcement, detective services, gang investigation/suppression, problem-oriented policing and community outreach programs.
Sworn, professional and volunteer staff work collectively to make the Police Department a productive and efficient operation.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the 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 updated full cost calculation against the current fees that were adopted in December of 2023 to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that the cost calculation for the citation filing fee was lower than previously calculated in the prior study. The cause for the lower cost calculations in the prior study was a result of the 6% increase in personnel salaries, the update to the indirect overhead rates, incorrectly omitting the 54% benefit factor on personnel costs. There are no recommended fee changes as a result of the findings as detailed in Appendix C.
20 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Water District Fees
The Customer Service / Meters Division is responsible for accurately reading all water meters manually and remotely throughout the City of Hesperia. This division also takes care of meter maintenance and repair. In addition, the division responds to customer service calls including water reconnects, turn offs and meter repairs.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Water District Fees. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Water District Fees 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 updated full cost calculation against the current fees that were adopted in December of 2023 to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that the cost recovery targets from the prior study were not being met by the adopted fees. The cause for the lower cost calculations in the prior study was a result of the 6% increase in personnel salaries, the update to the indirect overhead rates, incorrectly omitting the 54% benefit factor on personnel costs. As a result, fee increass to the fee schedule are being recommended, and they are detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase for 10 fees;
24 fees would remain as currently set;
Utility rates were not included in the study, and;
The average fee change would be an increase of 16%.
21 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.

22 Comprehensive User Fee Study
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 and reasonable time to provide each service. They include the salary and benefit costs for each position based on the City’s salary step schedule for positions as well as the appropriate benefits depending on each position’s bargaining unit. The total salary and benefits are then divided by 1,650 productive or billable hours to reduce the total 2,080 workable hours in a year to remove hours when positions are paid but not on the job such as holidays, paid leave, and sick pay. A further reduction of under 10% is made for administrative, general, or non-specific work hours. When a position is used in the study to identify direct work hours spent on a fee or service the applicable overhead rates of the operating unit (shown in Appendix A) is applied to that positions’ salary and benefit rate to determine full cost recovery. For any user fee service request that is outside the scope of the fees detailed in Appendix C, or for services for which there is no fee currently set, the City can charge up to the full cost of the service by using the salary benefit rate of the positions below along with the appropriate overhead factors from Appendix A.
The Salary and benefit rates were corrected from the prior study which had omitted the benefits in the calculation. They have been corrected to include a 54% benefit factor for full time personnel.

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.
