E. FUTURE ANNEXATIONS
It is anticipated that additional properties will be annexed to CFD No. 2015-2 from time to time. As each annexation is proposed, an analysis will be prepared to determine the annual cost for providing Services. Based on this analysis, the property to be annexed, pursuant to California Government Code section 53339 et seq. will be assigned to the appropriate Maximum Special Tax rate for the Tax Zone when annexed and included in Appendix A.

F. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year, the Special Taxes shall be levied as long as the Services are being provided.

G. EXEMPTIONS
The City shall classify as Exempt Property within CFD No. 2015-2, any Assessor’s Parcel in any of the following categories; (i) Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by any public entity; (ii) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement; (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are privately owned but are encumbered by or restricted solely for public uses; or (iv) any Assessor’s Parcel which is in use in the performance of a public function as determined by the Administrator.

H. APPEALS
Any property owner claiming that the amount or application of the Special Taxes are not correct may file a written notice of appeal with the City not later than twelve months after having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed. A representative(s) of CFD No. 2015-2 shall promptly review the appeal, and if necessary, meet with the property owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the Special Tax, and rule on the appeal. If the representative’s decision requires that the Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, a cash refund shall not be made, but an adjustment shall be made to the Special Tax on that Assessor’s Parcel in the subsequent Fiscal Year(s).

I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2015-2 may collect the Special Tax at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date: March 24, 2026
Subject: Comprehensive User Fee Study
Recommendation
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A COMPREHENSIVE USER FEE STUDY AND ADOPTING A CITYWIDE USER FEE SCHEDULE.

Background
The City of Lake Elsinore 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.

The User fee Study and attached appendices identify 100% full cost recovery for City services and the recommended level of recovery as determined through discussion with departmental staff. Depending on the local government fee environment and policy direction, the significant increases required to achieve 100% cost recovery are not always feasible, desirable, or appropriate, particularly in a single year. The recommended fees identified in the report are either at or less than full cost recovery.

Discussion
A User Fee Study is conducted to accurately, fairly, and reasonably determine the full cost for City departments to provide services to individuals and businesses within the community, such as plan check, inspection, permitting, and other development-related services. 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.

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. The recent trend for municipalities is to update User Fee Study

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 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 support costs. Support costs are those costs relating to a local government’s central service departments that are properly allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central services support cost allocations were derived from the City’s Cost Allocation Plan adopted the City Council on October 8, 2024. 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 most commonly used inflator is the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely wellknown and accepted. It is also recommended that every three to five years, a comprehensive review of the models utilized to develop the Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee Study be reviewed, modified, and updated as appropriate. These comprehensive studies should be conducted to identify direct and indirect costs to ensure the City is not overcharging for services in compliance with Proposition 218, as well as Government Code 66016, or undercharging for services rendered.

Building Department Fees – Residential
The study also included a comprehensive review of building department user fees, and staff is proposing to combine mechanical, plumbing, and electrical permits fees (MPE) into a flat fee amount based upon a typical 1,500 sq. ft. single-family residence (SFR) and a typical 2,500 sq. ft. single-family residence (SFR) to streamline the issuance of permits.

To illustrate the impact on costs to developers of new homes (SFR), the fee study suggested an

15.06% increase for full cost recovery with the utilization of the MPE flat fee (See Table 1 below).

Whereas, Government Code Section 66000, et seq., allows local agencies to charge fees for various activities as long as those fees do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs of providing the service for which the fee is intended; and, Reso. No. 2026-

Whereas, Section 3.40.030 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code provides that the City may set fees to recoup costs reasonably borne by the City by means of adopting a resolution of the City Council, after compliance with the requirements of state law; and, Whereas, pursuant to Government Code Sections 66014, 66017, and 66018 and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the specific fees to be charged for certain regulations, services, and products must be adopted by resolution, following notice and public hearing; and, Whereas, the City published notice of a public hearing for February 24, 2026 and provided written notice to interested parties who filed written requests for mailed notice of meetings on new or increased service charges in accordance with Government Code Sections 6062(a), 66014, 66016, 66017 and 66018; and
Whereas, at least fifteen (15) days before the opening of the February 24, 2026 public hearing referenced above, the City made available for public inspection information required under Government Code Section 66006, et seq.; and,
Whereas, the City Council opened the public hearing on February 24, 2026 and continued that hearing to March 24, 2026 at which time the public was invited to make oral and written presentations as part of the regularly scheduled meeting before the adoption of this Resolution.

1 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Executive Summary
The City of Lake Elsinore 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. Appendix C details the full cost and suggested fees 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 (“User Fees”). 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. A Cost Allocation Plan identifies the central service functions of the City such as Finance, City Manager, and Human Resources and allocates their cost to the departments and funds of the City that they support. 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 to annually increase or decrease the fees by changes in a pre-approved inflationary index, as described below. However, such inflationary increases shall not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services each year.

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 but cannot rely solely on the CPI increase as it is incumbent upon each agency to ensure the amount of the fees charged does not exceeds the reasonable estimated costs of providing the services. 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 Lake Elsinore 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 Lake Elsinore departments and fee groups:
 City Clerk
 Planning
 Code Enforcement
 Vehicle Abatement
 Fire
 Weed Abatement
 Community Services
 Engineering
 Building
 Police
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. 5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
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 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 (see Appendix B), 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
 Operating costs applicable to fee operations
 Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead  Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation 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.
7 Comprehensive User Fee Study
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 three 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.

Program Cost 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 program’s needs and goals. Typical programmatic approach cases are valuation-based fees, Recreation programs, and instances where a program cost is divided over the user base to obtain a per applicant cost for shared cost services.

Valuation Based Fees: This manner of collection is used when the valuation of the improvement can be used as a proxy for the amount of effort it would take for City staff to complete the service provided. More specifically, this approach is commonly used for certain User Fees in the Building Division. It is generally accepted that as a project’s size scales up, the cost of the project increases, and the amount of effort needed to review and inspect also increases. Using valuation-based fees provides for a system that can adjust as project sizes scale. Land is not included in the valuation.

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:
9 Comprehensive User Fee Study
 Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
 Position staffing levels, seniority, 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
 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 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. 10 Comprehensive User Fee Study

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 of 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 Lake Elsinore, 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 unrestricted funds.

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 suggested fee amounts as detailed in Appendix C. 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 following 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
City Clerk
The City Clerk compiles and maintains the official records of the City, making them readily accessible and ensuring transparency to the public. Appointed by the City Manager, the City Clerk is the local official who administers democratic processes by conducting fair and impartial municipal elections. Additionally, the City Clerk acts as the Compliance Officer for Federal, State and local statutes and prepares, certifies and/or adheres to public notice requirements with regard to legal documents, ordinances, resolutions, and public hearings. The City Clerk's department also codifies and disseminates the City's Municipal code, promotes public awareness of government processes, provides meeting, administrative, and legislative support to the Mayor, City Council Members, and Commissioners, and arranges for both ceremonial and official functions.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the City Clerk. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The services listed under City Clerk services consist of a few flat cost-based fees, copy fees, and others set by the State. The analysis of the cost-based services relied upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time 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 calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that current fees are not in line with the full cost of providing service. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 4 fees;
 1 new fee, Passport Photo Fee, will be added;
 15 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 30% .
13 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Planning
The Planning Division of the Community Development Department operates to assist citizens, businesses, and City departments in managing land to insure that land use complies with the General Plan and Zoning regulations and meets the needs of the City and its citizens. The Planning Division does this by maintaining records of zoning districts, subdivision maps, site plans, conditional use permits, etc. The Division also coordinates with the Planning Commission to process and review site plans and subdivision maps and approves land use and other zoning applications. In addition, the Division works with the Planning Commission and City Council to modify and update the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan, which defines the long-range goals and intentions regarding the nature and direction of future development within the City, contains elements on land use, transportation, park and recreational facilities, urban design, and housing as well as details regarding the City’s zoning districts.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Planning Division. 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 calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that current fees are not in line with the updated cost of providing services. It is recommended that the City adjust fees at or near full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 36 fees;
 19 fees would decrease;
 5 new fees would be added;
 27 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 the average fee change would be an increase of 8% for current fees. 14 Comprehensive User Fee Study

Their dedicated, enthusiastic, professionally trained officers are committed to serving the community.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Code Enforcement Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of the Code Enforcement services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, 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 calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that fees are currently not in line with the updated full cost of providing services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted to full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 4 fees;
 2 fees would remain as currently set;
 2 new Impound fees would be added;
 3 fees would change to a Contract Counsel rate from a flat fee;  1 fee would change to a per sq ft from a flat fee, and;  the average fee change would be an increase of 6% for current fees. 15 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Vehicle Abatement
Vehicle Abatement is a program within Code Enforcement. The programs provides for the removal of vehicles that are abandoned or stored in the public right-of-way, unregistered, or inoperative.

Analysis

Community Services
The Community Services Department provides a variety of programs that educate, entertain, and enrich the community. The Department delivers exceptional special events for the entire family. Arranges for services and programs that are needed by those with special needs, teens, and seniors. Provides professional leadership through recreational programs, services, and events that enhance the quality of life in the community.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Community Services Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of most Community Services programs encompassed facility rentals and other recreation services. The fee for use for government owned facilities and property can be set discretionally by the City, typically based on past usage characteristics, policy goals, and surrounding jurisdiction comparison. The cost of capital acquisition, maintenance, repair, and upgrade to the City and subsequently the public is offset through rental or use fees. As such these fees should be set using the knowledge of activity use for the facilities, policy desires of the City, and market factors when desirable. It is generally accepted that some Parks and Recreation programs provide a measure of public benefit to the residents and City as a whole, and as such is it common for services to bear significant subsidies. In addition, cities generally want to ensure that their programs and services remain affordable to the community at large, and that the programs remain competitive with surrounding jurisdictions. For most fees in Parks & Recreation a standard cost of service approach was used, but some of the additional cost considerations above were not included as this is primarily an operational cost analysis study that does not include considerations for capital. The analysis found that the current fees for facility use and services are below the cost of providing them. The analysis also included a cost recovery analysis for Parks and Recreation as a whole and it was determined to be operating at around 10% cost recovery. The suggested fees listed under Parks, Special Events, Lake Division, and Facilities fees detailed in Appendix C. would result in:
 An increase for 36 fees;
 46 fees would decrease;
 13 fees would be variably adjusted;
 15 new fees will be added, and;
 the remaining fees would remain as currently set.

Engineering
The Engineering Division is responsible for the development of public infrastructure and all physical improvements within the public right-of-way. These improvements include the development of public streets (roadways, curbs, gutters and sidewalks), traffic controls including signals, striping, signage and storm drains. The Department provides public counter support, development review for grading, drainage and traffic issues, and timely inspections of Capital Improvement and Private Development projects.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Engineering Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of 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 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 calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most of the current fees are underfunding the cost of most of the services.

Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to 37 fees;
 4 fees would decrease;
 11 new fees will be added;
 1 fee would change to a flat from percentage based fee;  2 fees would change to time and materials from a flat fee, and;  18 fees would remain as currently set.

Building
The Building and Safety Department provides quality service to the community in a manner that is courteous, efficient and knowledgeable. They continue their commitment to excellent public safety and quality of life by building strong partnerships with the residents, businesses, and the ever developing community. They continually strive to improve their services through innovative programming, technology, and the enforcement of the highest standards of safety.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Building Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Building services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach (except for fees related to the Building Permit program), whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. The analysis found that services are currently well below the full cost of providing them. It is recommended that the City adjust fees at or near full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 an increase to 35 fees;
 1 fee would decrease;
 5 fees would remain as currently set;
 1 fee would change to flat from a valuation fee;
 4 new fees will be added, and;
 the average estimated fee increase would be around 317% for flat fees.

In addition to the above referenced fees listed under Building, the Building Permit fees are also provided by this department. For the Building Permit fees, valuation is used as a proxy for the effort needed to provide services on a case-by-case basis. This method is an industry standard widely used by other jurisdictions to evaluate the cost of providing service. It is generally understood that the larger and more complex a project is, the more time and effort that is required to provide the service. Project valuation also follows that movement where more complex construction types and building sizes result in more staff effort needed to ensure compliance with the Building Code. By using a combination of either project valuation or historical revenue figures along with a multiplier or cost recovery analysis for historical and anticipated future trends, current cost recovery along with variability in charges due to project type and scale is determined. The result of the cost analysis completed for the Building Permit program found that the program is currently operating at 74% cost recovery based on activity levels from fiscal year 2020-2024.

Staff is recommending that the fees be increased to 100% cost recovery.

Appendix B –Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
Below are fully burdened hourly rates of staff positions that provide for the services detailed in Appendix C. The FBHRs were used to determine the full cost of each service. They include the salary and benefit costs for each position as well as all applicable overhead amounts for each position. When a central service department position works on a fee or project in the purview of an operating department, the overhead rates of the operating department (shown in Appendix A) will be applied to that central service positions’ salary and benefit rate for full cost recovery since indirect overhead cost only applies to non-central service functions of the City. 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 FBHR for personnel involved.

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.

Re: Southern California Edison’s (“SCE”) Opposition to The City of Lake Elsinore’s (the “City”) Adoption of a Resolution (the “Resolution”) Adopting a Comprehensive User Fee Study and Associated Fee Schedule Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and Members of the City Council:

On behalf of SCE, I write to express our opposition to the City’s adoption of the Comprehensive User Fee Study (the “Fee Study”) and City-Wide User Fee Schedule (“Fee Schedule”) included with item 14.3 on the agenda for the March 24, 2026, City Council meeting.

SCE has engaged in extensive discussions with the City Manager, City Attorney, and other City staff members regarding our concerns with the proposed Fee Study and Fee Schedule. We have requested that the proposed Resolution include language exempting SCE from the proposed increases while we negotiate a possible annual permit with the City. However, while the proposed resolution includes language regarding a potential refund of fees paid after an annual permit is agreed upon, it does not include the requested exemption.

As you are likely aware, SCE and the City are parties to a franchise agreement dated March 13, 1967, and adopted by the City as Ordinance No. 440 (the “Franchise Agreement”), pursuant to March 23, 2026

which SCE is granted the right to construct, maintain, and use infrastructure within the City’s public right-of-way to transmit and distribute electricity in exchange for an annual franchise fee equal to two percent of the gross revenues earned by SCE in the City (the “Franchise Fee”).

The Franchise Agreement does not allow for or even contemplate any additional payments beyond the Franchise Fee, or any permitting, approval, or inspection requirements as prerequisites to our performance of the work authorized thereunder. However, throughout the years, the City has conditioned our exercise of the rights granted under the Franchise Agreement on our compliance with myriad conditional requirements and the payment of associated fees. In recent years, both the conditions imposed upon SCE and the cost of fees associated with said conditions have increased exponentially. SCE has generally complied with these conditions and the associated fees—despite the fact that said conditions and fees constituted violations of our longstanding franchise rights—not only because we desire to maintain a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship with the City, but also because we have a duty and responsibility to both construct and maintain the critical energy infrastructure required to provide safe and reliable electrical service to our customers, in the City and beyond.

As proposed, the Fee Schedule would impose substantial new costs on top of the already significant fees SCE pays annually to the City, in addition to its Franchise Fee. Given the volume of work SCE performs in the public right of way, these increases would have an unacceptable financial impact—not only in this City, but cumulatively if similar demands were imposed throughout SCE’s service territory. Accordingly, SCE must assert its position that many, if not most, of the fees subject to increase have never been applicable to SCE because they impermissibly condition the exercise of rights granted under the Franchise Agreement—and constitute a substantial impairment of said rights—in violation of those contractual rights and the protections afforded by the Contracts Clauses of the California and United States Constitutions.

As a franchise-holding utility, SCE is differently situated from other parties that are subject to the City’s user fees. Fees not contemplated by the Franchise Agreement and imposed as prerequisites to our performance of work in the public right-of-way are not authorized under applicable law. The City’s justification of such fees as “cost recovery” supported by a fee study does not justify its infringement on our constitutionally protected contractual rights. See Southern California Gas Co. v. City of Santa Ana, 336 F.3d 885, 893 (9th Cir. 2003); Pacific Gas & Electric Co. v. City of Union City, 220 F. Supp. 2d 1070, 1075–87 (N.D. Cal. 2002); So. Cal. Gas Co. v.

City of Alhambra, No. CV 10 8635 PA JCX, 2011 WL 4389655, at *7 (C.D. Cal. June 6, 2011).

In addition to constitutional contractual concerns, much of SCE’s work in the public right of way is subject to the exclusive or primary jurisdiction of the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”), including under CPUC General Orders such as GOs 95, 128, and 131 E. Local agencies are constitutionally preempted from regulating matters within the CPUC’s delegated authority. See Cal. Const., art. XII, § 8. The City’s proposed Fee Study does not meaningfully identify which specific regulatory activities the City seeks to recover costs for, nor does it distinguish between non preempted activities and activities over which the City lacks regulatory authority. Therefore, the Fee Study is not sufficiently detailed for SCE to determine whether the City is pursuing cost recovery for regulatory functions that it is preempted from performing with respect to SCE.

March 23, 2026

We recognize and appreciate that the proposed resolution adopting the Fee Study and Fee Schedule includes a provision directing staff to engage with SCE regarding a potential annual permit, and providing that any amounts paid by SCE after the new Fee Schedule goes into effect, but before an agreement is reached on an annual permit, would be credited towards the agreed annual permit fee. However, in our discussions with City staff we reiterated that SCE should be exempted from the new fee increases such that SCE would continue to pay fees at existing rates while an annual permit is negotiated. The language included in the proposed resolution leaves SCE subject to the fee increases provided by the Fee Schedule, with no guarantee that SCE will ever receive a credit or other relief from the increased charges after they go into effect.

Given the foregoing, SCE respectfully requests that the City Council delay its adoption of the Fee Study and Fee Schedule so that the City can either (i) revise the adopting resolution to exempt SCE from the proposed fee increases while an annual permit is negotiated, or (ii) prepare a revised fee study that includes sufficient detail to allow SCE to determine which fees it should, and should not, be subject to based on our franchise rights and CPUC preemption principles. If the resolution adopting the Fee Study and Fee Schedule is adopted as drafted, SCE may be forced to consider all rights and remedies available at law and equity to prevent the enforcement of the increased fees (or the enforcement of any fees not contemplated by the Franchise Agreement) against SCE in connection with our work in the public right-of-way, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.

SCE appreciates the Council’s consideration of this request, and we look forward to working collaboratively with the City to reach a mutually-acceptable resolution of our dispute regarding the applicability of user fees to our work in the public right-of-way.

Sincerely,
Lee A. Kaplan
Senior Attorney
