EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

STUDY OVERVIEW
The City of La Quinta 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 number 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.

At its conclusion, this study proposes for City Council review and consideration at public hearing a new Schedule of User and Regulatory Fees for application in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and continued update in subsequent years.

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 involvement 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 is bearing 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.

Generally, fees for service are targeted to full cost recovery, inclusive of operating, direct, indirect, and capital costs, except in cases where the City Council cites a public interest in lower fees. The City may also be influenced by market conditions, comparing to municipalities of similar size and service profile.

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 table by broad fee category and highlighted in the subsequent findings statements, are outcomes and proposals of particular interest to City leaders and policymakers.

PRIMARY OUTCOMES
Development Fees
The City currently uses a uniform hourly rate to set all development related fees. The uniform rate is tied to the Building Division’s calculated rate of $199 per hour. The existing rate is $191. This means that the majority of fees are proposed to increase by 4% (the difference between $191 and $199). The chart below illustrates the relationship between the various disciplines and the uniform hourly rate.

Functional Unit Current Hourly Rate

Study
Target Hourly Rate
Using Historical
Pattern
Building $191 $199 $199
Public Works $191 $203 $199
Planning $191 $206 $199
In addition to the change in the hourly rate, service time estimates were reviewed to ensure time estimates correlate to the services provided (i.e. more intensive services require more service time than less intensive services). Based on this analysis, adjustments to several fee categories are proposed to enhance the nexus between service provided and fees collected.

Fiscal Impact
Based on historical revenues and permit volume, the new fee schedule may generate an additional $60,000 in annual revenue.

The following table summarizes the proposed updates to the fee schedule for the City’s primary feerelated service areas:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fee Category Summary of Primary Proposed Changes
1 Building Fees  4% increase for most fees
2 Planning Fees  4% increase for most fees
 Remove references to deposit-based billing
structure.
 Proposed schedule uses fixed fees for
services, with ability to use time & materials
deposits in instances where service level is
anticipated to vary significantly from fee.
3 Public Works Fees  4% increase for most fees
4 Fire Fees  4% increase for most fees
5 STVR Permit Fees  No changes proposed
6 Other Fees  Minor changes to align fees to cost of
service, State limits, and Council direction.

Regional Fee Comparison
Fees remain in line with similar fees collected by neighboring agencies in the region.

PROJECT ORIENTATION

SCOPE OF STUDY
The City of La Quinta has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study, which represents an external review of prevailing practices and development of a new Schedule of User and Regulatory Fees. ClearSource Financial Consulting has prepared this analysis using FY 2024/25 organizational information 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.

DIRECT SERVICES UNDER REVIEW

FEE CATEGORIES
 Building – Services include but are not limited to building plan review, permitting, and inspection for construction and sub-trades.
 Planning – Services include but are not limited to review and approval of development applications or proposals for modification to existing structures or land uses.  Public Works Engineering – Services include but are not limited to the City’s provision of site improvement plan checks and inspections, grading plan checks and inspections, and the issuance of encroachment permits.
 General Administrative Fees – Services include but are not limited to reproduction of City documents and service charges for payments made to the City by credit card.

REASON FOR STUDY
Cities derive annual revenue from a number 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 City 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 services of broader community benefit. 404 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

PROJECT ORIENTATION

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 activity, 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 that 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.  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 processing 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 Article 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.

PROJECT ORIENTATION

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 current industry market rates for service.
 Citywide overhead cost allocations were developed to assign a reasonable share of central service support to the City’s direct service units.
 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 targeted 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.

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. 408 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

STVR Annual Revenue Summary: 2020 - 2024 & 2025 Q-1 & Q-2 TOT is a 10% tax due to the City each month on all STVR stays of 30-days or less.

Palm Springs Airport Commission Report – July 16, 2025, Meeting Discussion and Action Items:

Lobby Space Update – Focused on providing pre-security comfortable seaƟng; charging staƟons; and signature event acƟvaƟons, Ɵckets and informaƟon. Will not be a staƟc looking space, but conƟnually changing. Design through buildout expected to be done by December 2025.

What to do with the 500 sq. Ō. space near the deplaned passenger corridor exiƟng the sterile airside was discussed. I suggested leƫng it be used by major event promoters (i.e. music fesƟvals, tennis & golf tournaments, the Palm Springs Film FesƟvals) as a Ɵcket pick-up staƟon and for event informaƟon.

Art Curator Update – A contract has been prepared to hire Group CreaƟve Services to serve as the City’s artwork coordinaƟon firm. Beyond artwork acquisiƟon, they will be managing facility and markeƟng efforts related to the artwork; create and manage an artwork maintenance program; develop community engagement and partnerships; and tracking and manage the artwork budget. This is looking like it will become an ongoing relaƟonship rather than the implementaƟon-only MarkeƟng Update – June total passengers was up 6.1% from 2024, a 6th monthly record in CY 2025. [p.138]
May total passengers was up 1% from 2024, a 5th monthly record in CY 2025. The capacity for Air Canada US is down 11% YOY, expecƟng a depressed winter demand to the US. Though Flair Airlines is reporƟng that California acƟvity is looking “ok” and are not seeing “ill will” towards California, they sƟll have opted to not return to PSP next season, though they hold hope to return for the winter of 2026.

WestJet stated that California has more demand than other US locaƟons, though their winter capacity for PSP will be trimmed by 5%. The weakness of the Canadian dollar to the US dollar is also impacƟng travel to the US. US based airlines are pleased with their overall performance at PSP.

Request for Proposals (RFP) and InvitaƟon for Bid (IFB) Update – An award is sƟll pending for eight Plug-In Electric Trucks.

ExecuƟve Director Report – PSP ranked 35 on the Washington Post’s Top 50 airports based upon reader reviews. With there being about 450 commercial airports in the naƟon, that puts PSP in the top 10%.

For the Outboard Baggage Handling System Project, the City Manager has been authorized to enter into a contract with Swinerton Builders to construct the inline outbound baggage system. The project is esƟmated to cost nearly $85 million in total when factoring the addiƟon of ConstrucƟon Management and Program Management costs. It is expected that about $60 million of the funding will come from four different federal grants awarded by the FAA and TSA, with the remainder of the costs to be funded through airport revenues.

The airport’s on-call consultant InterVISTAS is formalizing a request for Customs and Border ProtecƟon resources in preparaƟon of a Federal InspecƟon StaƟon (FIS). The recently passed federal budget may have created an opportunity for PSP by authorizing funding for an addiƟonal 5,000 Customs officers.

Next Commission MeeƟng: September 17, 2025, at 4:00 PM
2025 Airport Commission Calendar – Future planned meeƟngs on 9/17, 10/15, 11/19, 12/10.
